Dave Allan is a Legend

I grew up with dave allen..a very funny guy and much missed.

Dave Allen's sketch of telling the time is class

He made a living in the UK and from there the World, but Dave was Irish.

Dave Allen is a class act. Love your reactions and your laugh is addictive.

Sadly, Dave Allen and George Carlin are now gone, but their brilliant comedy will live on...

Dave Allen irish legend🇮🇪

My late husband & I saw Dave Allen when we were on holiday in Jersey early 80s. He was in the middle of one of his religious bits when there was an almighty thunderbolt outside his reaction was priceless we were in hysterics. Great man & yes definitely much pleasanter than George Carlin!!

Carlin was a God...one of the greatest, wisest comedian who has ever lived. We really need him, now more than ever. RIP George

I watched these on British tv at the time they were out.He'd be on at about 10pm on a Saturday night and i used to go home from the pub to watch him.That's how good he was there was no catch up tv in them days.Great man.

I was about 9 or 10yrs old when DA used to be on the TV and me mam and dad used to let me stay up late even on a school night to watch him cos they knew how much I loved his humour him along with Phil Silvers in Bilko,guess it was a different time then here in the uk

Indeed, he was very much part of my family viewing from the late 60s onwards too. Dave Allen had a resurgence on popularity in the late 80s and was still knocking out the odd show up into the 90s. He died in 2005, with many of his friends and family saying what a really nice guy he was in real life.

​@Hereandthere andnowinyourface He got it wrong? I didn't understand? The term/phrase "History never gets old" is a long standing and rather well known pun. It's a clever play on words, but also happens to be perfectly correct... meaning there is always something NEW to learn about history that can be applied today. Oh dear. :(

Class act...saw him live twice , shame it wasn't more.....we miss him

It is great that you have discovered Dave Allen. A big part of my childhood, when there were almost nothing on tv. He was such an amazing storyteller. Check out "Drunks" f.i. Cheers from Italy.

So many great comedians to choose from , Dave Allen was one of the greats . There is one name though you have to check .... Sir Billy Connolly 🙂 . National treasure.

A female workmate told me when she was run over as a kid. She sustained some injuries and was ok a few days later. The Doctor told her that if she had seen the car coming at her, her injuries would have been more severe as she tensed up. That's true, so perhaps with the threat of a plane crash you should just continue reading your book/brochure?

🇬🇧 ive been in tears laughing at you laughing at some of our best loved Brit comedians! I also loved Dave Allen & have lots of his shows on disc. You ought to listen to his ghost stories.. they are brilliant when the lights go down & hes cast in eerie shadow with his menacing voice ..its so good but i wont spoil any endings... 😟 I once met Dave Allen in a hotel i was staying in & just having a nightcap in the hotel bar & i just raised my glass to him & said Sleinte ( Irish = Cheers) & before long we were chatting like old pals swoping jokes & funny stories & believe me, not a nicer chap could you meet, very genuine & being a young lady at the time & on my own, the bar vertually empty it never entered my head to be cautious, there was never that gut feeling like i could get set upon Women always know about these things, at least i always trusted my gut I left to go to my room, weak kneed because id laughed myself dizzy...great man. Same with Billy Connolly, have you heard his sketch about the young guy with incontinence trousers? You will DIE laughing - Promise Also his Wilderbeast sketch 😆 Thank you for these vids, you & yr wife are a tonic, i laugh more with you both than at the footage you show. Be Blessed & keep safe & sound Im just about to sub to your channel 🇬🇧👧

I like the Mike Reid story about flying (similar to this). "In the event of an emergency landing, place your head between your legs"... "...Listen love, if I could put my head between my legs, I wouldn't have left the house this morning"

It's never too late to be a teacher, at least in the UK. When I was doing teacher training in the mid 90s, there was a guy on our course who was in his 50s who managed to get a job teaching when he qualified. I, too, was classed as a mature study, because I'd worked in other jobs for about 8 years. The main thing is you must love your subject. If you do, the kids pick up on it, & they both respect that & also take your subject more seriously. It's a fantastic career. I miss it: I had to take very early retirement due to ill health, & I'd give anything to get back to it again.

The late great Dave Allen.

some brits and canadians did not like him but he told the real truth---loved the guy iam a 70 year old canadian

Love Dave Allen since I was a child and my dad would make us all watch it, it’s his Irish intelligent delivery and the glass of whiskey and a cigarette in hand, like you say Old School 👍🏻 Please do his Teaching The Clock it’s so so funny and the way he chats to his imaginary child 🤣🤣🤣

I'm going to Greece 🇬🇷 in September too - Kefalos in Zante - love British 🇬🇧 history 👍👍👍 Another video for you to see if you haven't already is Ricky Gervais at the Golden Globes

The fact the black box is indestructible means that if the plane emergency lands, they're not expecting it to be in a good condition. Lol

Mainly to make sure it survives, also why do they call it a black box when it is clearly orange

The whistle part gets me every time xD

Really enjoying your blog...I'm a Brit and grew up with Dave Allen...have you noticed he's missing a finger...he tells a joke about how he lost it...if you can find that and show it, that would be awesome And as for dave reminding you of the great and late George...for me there is nobody funnier than George...maybe Robin williams....but george had a calmer delivery than the manic pace of Robin....miss them both terribly....the world is a less happy place without them

I love your genuine reactions xxx the football chants you reacted to....the first two chants about Adam Johnson came from my team and our fans lol

Your reactions and to the laughter

Dave Allen a great comedian on tv, saw him live in London and almost every other word was a swear word, which in my opinion did not work for him, he was so funny without swearing.

Have a look at Dave Allen on Australians. You will piss yourself laughing. Also the £10 note skit is another classic

Watched your channel and enjoyed the Videos of pub landlord especially Britain being world war champions..haha. I grew up watching and loving Dave Allen, he was a real true comedian. This post he still makes me cry laughing. Have you checked out Dave Allen teaching his kid to tell the time, it is hilarious. Thanks for sharing this. Great channel keep them coming. Here in UK our sense of humour is crazy. Just noticed, saw your take on him teaching time, my stomach is aching.

Great reaction, nice to see you appreciate one of our best ever comedians. Dave Allen and Billy Connolly are the greatest story telling funny guys from these islands IMHO.

My favourite he was wonderful, and he looked good too.

I have always felt the UK has the most and best comics because of the weather , as we need to laugh , as you would cry all the time if we didn't have them in abundance

History- it's just one damn thing after another...

Dave Allen was an Irish Catholic, who often took the mickey out of religion, and sometimes drank a glass of whisky on stage. Without a doubt he was Ireland's finest, and is sadly missed.....

dave allan is funny as hell

date allen was a comedy genius,my favourite sketch was the 2 rival undertakers racing too the cemetery

The funniest thing ever Ive seen on British TV was when Ant and Dec did the blindfold test on Celebrity Juice. 100% you wouldn't see it on American TV. A must watch to see your reaction would be a picture!

I'm not sure when this one was released but the King asked for 10,000 subs and it is now at 65,000 subs.

well dave allen can teach you history

Thanks for doing the reaction, glad you liked it. Keep the reactions coming. Just quick note, if yyou use headphones it improves the sound quality of the video you are reacting too.

Timeless comedy from the master

The plans sound great, Boomer. So happy to hear you get & join in with the mickey taking of each other. You really are part of the group now. Have a great one & great reaction

Recently came across your channel and loving it. Has a Brit i love comedy so I have a recommendation for you. king of the one liner,s Jimmy Carr this dude will make you cry.

For history you'll love Al Murray.

Sadly now gone but he was brilliant

Hi King Boomer - I'm loving your channel and your reactions. From a historical point of view, you might want to consider reacting to "Women: Know Your Limits!". (It's a parody of the old black & white public information films that used to shown in movie theatres, in the era before everyone had TVs in their homes). If you do decide to react to this, then I totally recommend you have your other half next to you. You'll love it. She will love it!!! You'll both love it!!!

"If Lessons Of History Teach Us Anything It Is That Nobody Learns The Lessons That History Teaches Us." On a side note if you go on holiday to Greece, the islands are in my humble opinion far better than mainland Greece. The last time i travelled there i ended up in Lefkas (Lefkada) where the locals at one time were well paid by Aristotle Onassis to not attract tourists so as to keep his beautiful island of Skorpios as private as possible. He also employed many on the island who were taxi'd by boat to Skorpios. Truly beautiful especially the less tourists there are.

You should watch him teaching a child how to tell the time.

The plank a 1967 film with Eric Sykes and Tommy Cooper brilliant

Classic mate wish here was here today

thank us AUSSIES FOR INVENTING THE BLACK BOX

Keep together !!!

i'm new to watching your stuff & i think it's great-keep it going my friend....from wardy in the UK

Should play this as in flight entertainment

Just subscribed to your channel it brilliant dude from Newcastle in the uk . Dave Allen is class act 👍👍👍👍

Really love your stuff.

If you try history on uk.good luck..remember England has only just got to these islands from a celt point of view. Watch 6 nations rugby

I appreciate the posts. A bit of old-time, and sometimes not but still entertaining videos. Not too long, with a bit of your own humour thrown in. Given mainstream media is now so boring I like this kind of material. I know you are making a living, but make sure you balance it right with family life. My Thanks.

History? Jeremy Clarkson's done 2 brilliant WW2 docs Victoria Cross & The Greatest Raid Ever...mind-blowing courage of ordinary people 💜 🇬🇧

The goodies was a BBC comedy sketch show 😄 of the 1970s brilliant stuff

Hi my friend, I really enjoyed that and you can't beat a bit of dave Allen i grew up watching him over the pond here, I've just subscribed and looking forward to catching up 🍻🙏🙏🙏

Hey look out on KZread for the cheese rolling competition over here. You will know it when u find it. Nutters basically chase rolls of cheese down an almost vertical hill. Totally dangerous and hysterical to watch. Love your enthusiasm . Thanks for your reactions. 😁🇬🇧💕🇺🇲

I grew up watching Dave Allen and many others. Try and find Jasper Carrott and Mike Harding. Both are extremely funny observational comics. As you don't like flying try and find an after dinner speech called "What goes up might come down" by Dave Gunson. Think it is audio only but I am confident that it will make you laugh. Another British comedy classic is " Four candles by the two Ronnies

Yes Kingy! Trust me keep goin i love your stuff mate. Will try to throw a few suggestions your way lad! Respect from Manchester!

Brilliant!

HI Boomer... Love watching your reaction to our great comedians...Have a look at the UK Prison sit com, called Porridge... porridge was a name used for prison or the word Stir eg... he's done 3 years porridge or 3 years in Stir. The main character is Ronnie Barker who was once part of a comedy duo called the "Two Ronnies" he wrote a lot of his own comedy sketches. I used to work in a prison and when the old re-runs of the series came on TV they would actually ask to be locked in their cells early to watch it (thank goodness for that )

I remember been laid in bed listening to my dad watching this guy just In hysterics now I know why. Specially the religious jokes been a Catholic made them funnier RIP Dave Allan

Please react to Mickey Flanagan, Delhi Belly. Another UK(English) comedian and a absolute hysterical take on one of the pitfalls of travelling abroad. You won't be disappointed and will love it. Keep reactions coming, your doing great. 👍🇬🇧😁

Hey Brian, if you love history and are going to Greece in September, why not do some history videos on Greece, at least before you go? It will definitely help make your vacation that much more enjoyable too

Absolutely love DAVE ALLEN. Very funny guy. RIP. (Canva and/or Snappa for your thumbnails.)

trouble with history is that there is just no future in it,best wishes from the U.K😂

As a teen, it was mandatory to see Dave Allen on TV, every time they sent his shows. And back then, in the 70's-80's there was almost none that got 'offended', by anything.(Thank god, so to speak)' But today, sadly the snowflakes are all around us, and they get offended by everything. 😩

You need to watch Stanley Baxter, another great comic. He is Scottish. Dresses up as woman, Impressions. Brilliant Comic. Same era as Dave Allen.

When he died Dave Allen refused to rebroadcast his material

Going to Greece eh? Good for you! As a history tutor of Classics (in the UK), I'll look forward to stuff you could produce on Greek or Roman history !!

Boomerites ! I love it . Checkout Freddie Starr singing " Vincent " absolutely bloody hilarious, definitely your kind of humour .🇬🇧

The reason for going in to crouch position is so people could be identified from their teeth after a crash. Crouch position prevents people's teeth getting smashed. The idea of being strapped in a pressurised sardine can 7 miles high at mach 2 and tonnes of fuel is daft.

You are a great human being pal

Two good ranters are Rhod Gilbert and David Mitchell.

You should give Billy Connelly stand up a try not watched him in years loĺ he was the best of his time in my eyes

Adam and Eve Dave Allen 🤣🤣🤣

We have quite a few great comics in the UK, both male and female, some like Dave who are no longer with us, but have left a lot of work on TV around. Sir Billy Connolly, Sir Ken Dodd, Victoria Wood, Dame Julie Walters, Dame June Whitfield, Frankie Howard, Kenneth Williams, Bob Monkhouse, Jimmy Tarbuck, Sir Bruce Forysth, French and Saunders, Freddie Starr, Jim Davidson, Spike Milligan ( part of the Goons) John Cleese ( part of Monty Python) too name but a few

After life series 2 outtakes is hilarious really hilarious

Im from UK and love G Carlin.

Old school comedy, I think is more intelligent. Dave Allens comedy is good because there a lot of realism in it. Billy Connolly is the same. Years ago we had Jasper Carrot (not his real name) and he would do jokes in story form too.

Oh Greece is gorgeous.Jealous!

I love that it is not politically correct as this makes the best material.

Check out Victoria Wood, who passed away unfortunately, a very funny lady. She did a lot of stuff with Julie Walters, another very funny lady. Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders are hilarious separately and together.

Dave was First with this act, then a very famous comic "elaborated" on it........FACT!

Mate I love you videos of so funny

Ledge.

Crash into the sea 🌊!!!

George Carlin was the man. Loved him. RIP. Check out Sean Locke. He was brilliant too. RIP

Look on Dave Allen on religion or supermarkets. Great channel. 😁
