Billy is a Scottish national treasures. No one makes me laugh harder or longer. Genius

You looked confused about the bus, 😁. He was describing an old style bus, from way back when buses had conductors who came round with a ticket machine, so you just got on, sat down and waited for the conductor to collect your fair. there was also door in the centre of the bus as well as the open platform at the back. The old buses were great.

Oh wow. So much have changed 🤯

I saw him live many moons ago in Blackpool and my face was aching from laughing. We hung around at the stage door afterwards and he came out to say hello and told a few more stories, it was brilliant. I would love to see him perform again but he retired from stand up since being diagnosed with Parkinson’s. There’s a series on Sky Gold called ‘Billy Connolly Does’ that’s worth a watch, gives you a great insight into the life he’s lived! ❤

So true. He is a genius

I miss the open backed double deckers, nothing beat hopping on and off the bus. Another tradition lost to Health & Safety. 😂

Love Billy Connolly!!

Gotta love the old "platform" bus's bounce from one to another at the traffic lights

This is one of my favourite jokes ever from the master of comedy.

His last gig was in 2017. I was lucky enough to go. He is the best ever.

I think I have or on DVD somewhere.

Hi, speaking as an older lady who rode those buses a lot in her misbegotten youth, I am rather surprised that I made it to older age at all! Lol. I’ve lived in Australia for many years now,but, I still get folk asking me am I not worried about Australia’s dangerous wildlife. I laugh and reply, I grew up in Glasgow in the late fifties, do you think a few wee beasties could bother me ? . Love your channel and watching along with you. You bring a smile to this old lady’s lips and a lift to my heart ❤️

Nice one wee man, Billy is a legend! YAAAAAAASSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!

Love Billy, the other 2 that are hilarious are 'Shouting at Wildebeest' and 'Potatoes of the Night'

Clydebank is where Glasgow shipyards where

Clydebank is an area to the north west of Glasgow. Clydesdale Bank were the sponsors of the SPL for many years.

Billys the master at starting a joke, going off on many many tangents then ties it all back together brilliantly. The mans a master at his craft. A truly hilarious man and one id love to just have a beer and a chat with. Love you Billy ❤❤❤

These were the days when the back of the bus was an open platform and a time when only the bus conductor was allowed to press the bell, so if you were on the top deck and the conductor wasn’t, you had to get downstairs to the platform so that he knew you were getting off. If you got there too late you could miss your stop and have to walk back, so you tended to get there early and ride on the platform, holding the bars as described by Billy. Obviously in the days when Health and Safety wasn’t such a concern. Those were the days.😂

And the really old ones had doors in the centre and front of the bus, too!

best one is his funny walks routine

Watched him at The Point (3 arena/O2) around 2002 or something like that. Definitely my first hero growing up. I got into him listening to his vinyl 'Raw meat for the balcony' from the 70's. I used to bring it to my mates house and we would have to listen quietly as his mum didn't approve!! Amazing human being

Lol im from Birmingham 😂 Billy is awesome I love this one ❤

Nah it was the Clydesdale Bank that sponsored things. Clydebank is a town along the Clyde next to Glasgow.

He is hilarious 🤣

This is hysterically funny as I know the area of Clydebank and know the steep hills there are near the bus terminal. I live 10 minutes away and work in Dalmuir a sub-district of Clydebank. Billy is the best. Come on The Big Yin.

The football sponsors was The Clydesdale Bank! 😂 Clydebank is a town near Glasgow! Easy mistake! 😂

I saw this years ago and still find it hilarious. It caught me off guard when I first saw it. I thouht I'd need medical attention and couldn't stop laughing for an hour or so after 😂

I recently (say within the last six months) see a interview of Billy, he has been retired for a little while now (don't know exactly but I think it is around a year or two), I am also not sure but I think he has Parkinson's disease, hence why he retired, I think he still lives in Los Angeles.

Billy Connolly is a unique comedian in that he doesn't tell jokes or one-liners. He's a storyteller and a brilliant one at that. Someone else could tell the same story and it wouldn't be nearly as funny.

Awesome as always Eddy. Top skills :)

If you're up for doing a longer reaction (approx. 50 mins) you should react to 'An Audience with Billy Connolly'. Hilarious!

Why do all Glasgow stories start on the old 40 🤣🤣🤣

The clydesdale bank was the sponsor of the Premier league. , not to be confused with the town of clydebank...where Kevin bridges was brought up

I knew "Connolly" BEFORE he was on Parkie. He was moving over from Folk music to Comedy, trying out all those first generation jokes on us. He tweaked them constantly until we couldn't draw breath for laughing. Hubby almost stopped Billy's fledgling comedy career before it took off. Standing in a Beer Tent, after a Tourist Board event, Billy says to hubby, "X, those effing Americans don't get me".. Instead of support, hubby said.. "No Billy, they effing hated you". 🙄🤔 Fortunately Billy ignored him.

clydesdale bank sponsored the league years ago . lol

He’s a legend , can you take off the top copyright name of the video please x

loyds bank maybe, clybebank is a town or football team, hahahah.

No, unfortunately, he doesn't do any more stand up comedy. I think mainly because of the Parkinson disease.

Is this the comic that supports rangers then gets famous and then supports septic 😅

Listen to his crusafixn joke

Just curious as to why you always feel the need to put an excerpt spoiler at the beginning. Me? I’ve seen them all before, but for viewers who’ve never previously seen your ‘reactions’ surely you’re spoiling what’s coming as you’re pretty much - in some cases - giving them the punch-line in advance 🤷🏻‍♂

He is still alive, but he has Parkinsons
