Someone who was literally on for a few seconds and yet in that time through his aka Dame Edna's mannerisms had the audience with Camilla and Charles in hysterics finishing off with the final punchline. Mark of a true genius of which we will never see again. Barry Humphries, much missed!

He first appeared as Edna in the film "Bunyip" (1970), and since that year, up until now, there is still nobody has come close to that brilliance. The Adventures of Barry McKenzie (1972) - is perhaps most famous for one of its final scenes where then Australian Prime Minister 'Gough Whitlam' makes a cameo appearance and makes Edna Everage a Dame, so from then on ', A Dame is Born, Dame Edna.

This is a classic. It can never age. RIP Comic genius.

My absolute favourite comedy sketch, and the King and Queens reaction plays its part. Comedy gold RIP BH

Our King and Queen looked SO happy here enjoying a genuine laugh! Thanks to Dame Edna!

I thought this exact same thing! This was truly enjoyable to watch and I ❤ them for it.

I just love Charles’s reaction. He appears to be a real fan. Great video.

What a truly brilliant line. "They've found me a better seat, I'm sorry." Just brilliant.

Apparently Barry was pretty good friends with Charles and in fact Charles spoke to Barry on the phone when he was in hospital shortly before he passed😢

The yardstick of comedy. No one ever came close. RIP.

Thiry seconds long and one of the most if not THE most hysterically funny bits EVER.

One of the great comedic minds of all time. Dame Edna is the diva of all divas. What’s great about this moment? Charles is laughing so hard, that Edna almost cracks up. “Oh. I’m so sorry. They’ve found me a better seat.” And she just leaves. I can’t. I wish Barry Humphries could have lived forever. This comedy line, will live in my head forever.

This Dame is genuinely a master of comedy! She made it seem so effortless, but I know it's not easy to make an entire crowd burst with laughter just by using mannerisms and not even saying a word. Her unexpected final line was the cherry on top! Even the royals couldn't contain themselves and were laughing out loud. The King has such a great sense of humour, it's nice to see it come out occasionally. Being in such a high-status position, he probably can't let it shine as often as he would like. And it's heartwarming to see that the Queen is such a good sport too. They both clearly had a great time!

I can watch this clip over and over

Every time I watch this I laugh so hard. What a gem, he was.😂

This will never get old 😂 Dame Edna ❤ i really do miss u

You just can't help laughing every time you see this.😂

Now , that is funny !! I can't stop laughing !!

Dame Edna says 9 words and the whole audience is in creases. Sometimes with genius less is more

A REAL comedic genius , with razor sharp wit ! Very sadly missed .......

I read this week, in a new book about the king, that when he heard Barry Humphries was ill, the king called him, having checked time differences. Humphries died two days later. Reading this choked me, maybe I remembered this clip. Either way RIP Bazza

Watched this loads of times, love how Prince Charles laughs!!

A man in drag who doesnt offend..just makes you laugh out loud at social absurdities ...without causing those on the receiving end to consult lawyers or howl disapproval

Sheer prefection 😂... no one done it better than a Dame.🇬🇧

Watching the coronation cemented my belief in the couple that looked so regal and much more. Charles was humble and appreciative of his new role with the Queen looking on, the twinkle of love in her eyes..... The balcony wave and our newly anointed King and Queen were emotional and I loved the connection the King had with people, genuine love and he didn't want to get off that balcony.... lol - touching.

@Neo.Altair

11 ай бұрын

The King is incredibly jolly in private and occasionally in public but, as you said, restrained for apparent reasons - his other admirable trait is that he doesn't follow the current trend or movement but instead creates a direction or motion by sharing his real true interests. He has been a stalwart defender of classical architecture and the conservation of London's traditional built environment, dwarfed in the post-World War Two skyscraper building boom. He did all this back when it wasn't popular, or people didn't care too much that he was ridiculed - Now it's the modern way of life to conserve your history and grow your own food, which he has done for decades... A futuristic visionary he is.

RIP Dame

Over they years I have watched so many female impersonators, but I have to say there are many differences in the quality of entertainment value and like or appreciation of the audience. Dame Edna was brilliant, razor sharp sarcasm-whit but never ever the mean or cruel vitriol of some present day drag queens. The icons like Dame Edna, Danny La Rue, Craig Russel, Charles Pierce will live on in our memories for the joy they brought to us. There are others who are waiting in the wings, but the real icons are the ones of class not the ones who are crass and crude or cruel by finding a victim in their audience to belittle or humiliate to get laughs.

Brilliant

What a talent.

Still laugh at this. So funny

Just about the funniest gag, ever!!

Say what you want about the Royal family, but most of them can take a joke - even at their own expense. The Queen was well known for her sense of humour in private life and was evidently a fan of Dame Edna, which makes sense given the number of events/performances she was involved in. As for Charles & Camilla, although clearly being surprised by it, loved it as much or even more than the rest of the audience did. You can tell a lot about someone from how they act in such situations.

I reckon Lizzie would have enjoyed that prank herself.

comedy gold.......

6 words and the audience erupts. Great stuff

Such talent, played with such good taste.

I find this more than funny! Can't quit laughing. King Charles is in stitches.

I half hoped Dame Edna to be at Charles' coronation. RIP Bazza

Every month or so, I watch this again. Only Dame Edna could get away with it😂😂

Genius!!
