Dave Allen was something of an unmissable tv institution in the UK in the late 60s and through the 70s and made a huge comeback in the 90s. A much loved character - after his death in 2005, his family and friends commented on what a nice guy he was in real life too.

Dave Allan was one of our greatest Comedians. RIP Dave Allan. His sketches on Adam and Eve, His First Day at School and Teaching a Child the time, hilarious!

Ah, you've found Dave Allen! See Dave having a go at teaching how to tell the time and his first day at school and Adam and Eve!

Billy Connolly did a stand up routine about the same topic. He said "Today, a plane smacked into a mountain in Peru at 600mph. Luckily, all the passengers were wearing their seat belts".

As much as I like Billy , I think he "Magpied" this one

'Every life jacket should come with a cyanide capsule'. Oh dude. That got me. GREAT line. Kudos.

Please, watch more of his clips. Unfortunately, he passed away in 2005 at the age of 65. He always had a very unique way looking at life and made a common situation and phrases really funny. He is THE COMEDIAN I go to when I had a stressful day. Other clips: about old age, about teenagers, teaching your child how to read time, about post office, to name a few. Also, all his actual sketches. He was priceless.

Dave Allen also did a routine about teaching a kid how to tell the time . That's good.

That routine is absolutely priceless.

Used to watch dave allen as a kid funny bloke

One of the great story tellers of the 70/80s

I grew up watching Dave. I loved him when i was a child and I still love him now. Legend that he is. 🇮🇪

Billy Connolly also said about an aircraft crashing into the desert the passengers should put on their life jackets so, if the site was excavated in a hundred years, they’ll think there was a river here 😂

I really like Billy. I noticed that no one is reacting to him anymore. Is he getting blocked?

I found it funny that you were doing your own parallel humour on this sketch with your own jokes!

There was talk about getting Dave onto Father Ted as a guest but sadly it just never happened. That would have been great.

Always great to see someone discovering the brilliant Dave Allen. One of my all time favourite comedians, used to love being allowed to stay up and watch him on the telly with my dad when I was growing up.

Seventies. Saturday evenings. Dave Allen on the TV. My parents laughed with him all the time.

One of the best things about this video is seeing you doubled up with laughter, Connor, I loved your reaction !

I was laughing at you as much as Dave there! 🤣🤣

Great Reaction, love Dave Allen, please do more 👍

The fabulous Dave Allen. Much missed. BTW Connor, your laugh just cracks me up 😆 Much love 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The number one safety recommendation for airlines is to put the seats in facing the tail. That way you are thrown into the seat on a heavy impact not forward. All Royal Air Force transport planes do that, but civilian airlines refuse to do it because people don't like facing the 'wrong way'.

Dave Allen does some hilarious stuff on religion. Definitely worth a listen!

I have had a few close calls in airplanes. I'm not sure if it's just me but even though I suffer from severe anxiety and panic attacks faced with information off the pilot that we're landing without the landing gear, I genuinely felt at peace

You've obviously led a good and decent life. 😊

Your joke about the plane broken in half with one of the pilots dead etc was hilarious Connor

We loved Dave Allen and watched himm all thd time in the 60s and 70s. He was one of the first Irish comedians to make it big on British TV.

Dave Allen could make any topic of conversation hilarious.

It's unlikely you'll be disappointed with Dave Allen. Superb comedian.

Dave Allen's family were our neighbours where I grew up although they moved away when I was young. His dad was also a very funny man, full of anecdotes and very entertaining. We went to the same school, although he was several years ahead of me. The school wa pretty grim, but, strangely, a few comedians went through it, including Dave Allen and Paul Hughes. It might have been a survival mechanism!

Dave Allen is just genius - the goat - for an Irish comedian in the 70’s, his take on religion was both hilarious and courageous.

Another one hooked on the great Dave Allen! Enjoy!

Dave Allen, and the funeral sketch is funny!

Oh sweetie if you haven't seen him before look at the teaching children about religion and teaching children how to tell the time 😁😁he was a class act grew up watching him🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿xx

What an absolute star and a legend, he had funny bones. Sorely missed, he brightened up the best years of my life. A gentleman and a scholar. 😁🇬🇧

Much loved Irish comedian in Australia. The Dave Allen Show in Australia (TV Series 1975-1977) .peace out.

Fellow Irish man one of the best comedians you should watch the one on teaching your child the time

*Dave Allen is an absolute God.* My parents - who were rather clueless about such things and would never have thought of booking a babysitter - took me to see him live when I was 12. I think I was the only child in the audience! I laughed along with everyone else, even at the stuff that went over my head. I expect these days it would be billed as "Unsuitable for U-16s or something. Anyhoo, he was - as ever - truly magnificent. I've never heard him do a bad routine, ever.

I always understood the 'head in your lap' thing was to ensure preservation of your dentistry by air accident recovery teams. Head in your lap seems a sure-fire of ending up with a broken neck to me, as you swiftly concertina your spine into the seat in front... 🤔

Love Dave Allen - thank you for reacting to this - hope you do more - I love that you were cracking up

Dave Allen was a regular watch for my generation.His religious jokes were special.

Dave Allen is brilliant.

For me he is one of the greatest.

Check out his Adam and Eve sketch, it's hilarious.

Crying laughing. Love Dave Allen. Your cyanide comment in every life jacket hahaha

I remember the announcement on an internal US flight that the aircraft would be taking off "momentarily". I was flying to Cleveland, I wanted the damn thing in the air for a good hour and a half, not just "momentarily".

remember watching him as a child, always sitting on his chair with a glass of whiskey and a cigarette

Dave Allen - Telling the Time (assuming you know the analogue clock) this is hilarious Dave Allen - Religion Billy Connolly - The Jobbie Weecha (translating that into American......The Sh*t Woosher)

His religious sketches are a MUST-WATCH. :D

glad you enjoyed it. you must check out teaching your kids time and many other stand up pefprmances

You should look at Dave Alan - Teaching Your Kid The Time.

The crash position is to preserve your face so they can identify the bodies more easily.

Hahaha you had me laughing so much..... 😂🤣

I absolutely LOVE your reactions Connor! You always make my day, whether its a comedy, or history of the UK🇬🇧 YES we are steeped in it over here, as you know, and I love history myself, even at my age I still love to learn.. Oh and Blackadder is, one of my fave shows! Baldrick is such a blast!! 😂🤣😂🤣

I always worked on the basis that the crash position is to help protect your teeth for dental identification. Now with DNA technology they don’t need very much of you to identify you.

So great to see you laughing...🙂

The best thing was he took the rise out of religion, but always signed off with, and may your God go with you.

Try Up Pompeii - Roman Holiday, ...And now the prologue.

Dave Allen Haunted House. Superb.

You need to watch his piece on religion. As a tormented Irishman he does it perfectly.

Teaching child the time. Hilarious 🤣

Connor. Grew up watching Dave Allen. Such a great comedian, sadly missed. You must watch is religious skits and the one about contraception..kits hilariously funny

Dave Allen was the best. Check out his religious sketches. I’m sure there must be a compilation somewhere. So funny.

My name is Connor. I do suffer from OCD, which is why I will keep on interrupting the video in the most important parts. In spite of that.....we still love him ❤️

I see people are asking for the clip on Adam and Eve. That is really funny. Also teaching kids time.

Hi I am new subscriber to your channel. There is another one Dave Allen does and it is called teaching your child the time. another couple you might like is Benny Hill wife swap and Ernie he drove the fastest milk cart in the west. An absolute Cracker you might like is Dick Emery and the driving test center sketch. he plays all the driving test people and an extra problem which is hilarious

Connor he was an absolute master at his trade, try his religion or teaching the time clips..

Lady rae UK did this one yesterday, are all the Americans doing the same reactions now lol

The only purpose of the seat belts is to make it easier to identify the bodies after a crash. Bon voyage folks! 😬

May your God bless Dave Allen. 😁

I was born in 1993 too. The best decade where everything was Radical, gnarly, Xtreme or ended in Z and everyone had a Bop It! But me... 😒

Try Kevin Bridges if you’ve not done so already 😁

Connor , you have a wicked sense of humour , you sure your not part Brit .🇬🇧

Please watch his one on religion 😊or learning about telling the time

Actually I now watch Orny Adams, he is so funny and everything is about every day things, complaints you or I would make but funny. He is American.

Pistol and cyanide pill! That killed me!!!!!!!

Every life jacket on a plane should come with a cyanide pill 🤣

You should look at dave allen doctors and alcholic its verry funny i reccomend it😢

Just to be pedantic, he's actually talking about aeroplanes. He is absolutely brilliant, and much missed.

Check out KZread channel, Brian Darling. Video title, Dave Allen on Religion.

You should watch him talking about religion.

They always get the black box back, well until MH370 still waiting rip

AEROPLANES in English.

A pure Irish man not British

I think brace position is to limit your body flying forward and reduce how much your body moves when plane suddenly stop but unsure

You should look at dave allen doctors and alcholic its verry funny i reccomend it😢
