Dave Allen - on religion. . . .( Comedy )

[Phil Perry]

[kgwilson]

One of the truly great comedians. I've seen this many times & it still cracks me up.

 

More of Daves religious jokes

 

 

[nomadpete]

Yeah, he's good! Thanks for reminding me how good. But sadly I bet we won't see any reruns of his humour on tv.

 

I just spent the last hour watching Dave Allen clips on YouTube.

IF he gets to Heaven, God would have to have the sense of humour I would like HiM SHe IT to have. irreverent and funny. (Always smoking) Nev

I saw him at live shows twice Nev,. . .hilarious, and, as well as the cigarettes,. . .he always had a glass of whiskey ( Irish of course ) on the table next to where he sat.

 

 

[facthunter]

Life needs a sense of humour more than it needs religion. I still had a (tiny) bit of it back then. It's a while ago, mate.. Inimitable I would rate him.. Nev

Our friends in Germany showed us this one at Christmas. English comedian named Freddy Frinton, I think. Absolute classic!

I'm not an anglophile but they do comedy BEST. Nev

Well Nev,. . . I'm only ( technically ) Part Aussie,. . .so I hope you still Part like this Anglophile. . . . .

 

 

[facthunter]

Yes, I won't blame you for their worst mistakes. as I hope you don't blame me for some of our. (very) bad policies.. I think it's a bit funny the have the Union Jack in our flag, and to possibly end up with Charlie as our King. Nev.

 

 

[Marty_d]

Charlie won't be king. I don't think he's got any desire to be. I reckon he'll be like his great-uncle and abdicate - it'll be King Willie next. (Kaiser Wilhelm??)

 

 

[Jerry_Atrick]

Either would be better than El Presidento Turnbull..

And a snippet of another

 

 

(p.s why are Aussie IP owners so anal about putting stuff up on youtube... They will probably make much more money than flogging it through Myers and Amazon)

 

 

[Yenn]

I reckon Charles will be king, just so that his wife can lord it over all those that hated her.

 

I would be sorry for William if he had to do the job for as long as the Queen has done. I very much doubt that anyone could do the job as well as Elizabeth.

I disagree, I think he wants it that bad he can taste it.

 

I reckon if it goes on much longer he might try and get Mummsy committed or worse.

 

Beside Camilla won't let him abdicate she probably wants it worse than him.

Camilla won't be around much longer. Things are not rosy in paradise, is the rumour. And I think Charlie would rather spend his days talking to his vegie garden than wear the crown.

Bill Bailey is a great comic and an accomplished musician. .. I assume you've seen his one man shows ?. . .one of my favourites is 'Bill Bailey - Part Troll'. . .sublime. . .

 

 

[Jerry_Atrick]

Indeed I have, Mr Perry - My son is yet to come aruond to his subtle and clever humour... it won't take long, though...

 

 

[Bruce]

The institution of the monarchy is bizarre to say the least. You can imagine a dominant animal being like the king for awhile, but to dominate the other animals so completely that your mantle gets passed down to your offspring in perpetuity has only ever happened in our particular species of apes.

 

 

[facthunter]

Doesn't it have a parallel in the animal KING dom? Strength or whatever work there. Inheriting it is questionable as when they marry amongst them selves the Gene pool gets a bit deficient. Pure breds are a problem that mongrels don't have. Nev.

 

 

[Bruce]

Nope Nev it doesn't. Humans are the only animals to have thugs ( knights ) to assist them in their fight to retain dominance, and we are certainly the only ones where the dominant animal can pass on their authority to their (possibly weak) offspring.

 

And the concept of "noble blood" is ridiculous. The nobles were taller because they ate better.

 

 

[facthunter]

A NO Bull society would be nice. I wonder if people could cope with the dramatic change . Reality might be a shock..Nev

 

 

[Jerry_Atrick]

Isn't that why we have reality tv?

 

 

[Bruce]

Bugger, there are no monarchists here willing to argue their ridiculous points. And no creationists either. Who scared them off, or don't they really exist?

Not much reality in that.
