People say oh, this guy or that guy was an original, but this guy Dave Allen truly was an original and no one like him since.

One of the greatest comedians ever👍👍

There will never be anybody like this anymore - he was such a unique genius. RIP

Immediately takes me home to England on a Saturday night, watching t.v with my parents and sisters. Such happy days.

Unforgettable, irreplaceable, original and witty Dave. RIP, Dave and thank you for the laughs.

I so miss this gentle and quite intriguing way of pointing out what's wrong with this world. A genius at work, sadly missed and never equalled ❤

He had the best parting shot ever. "May your god go with you" Totally neutral.

Dave Allen will be sorely missed! - The world needs more like him more than ever!! 😞

THE epitome of Irish humour! - God bless Dave Allen 😀😀👍👍👍👍

Dave Allen was the best. Still funny all these years later. 😂

Loved watching Dave Alan back in the day today’s society don’t have the same sense of humour as we did

My Dad (RIP) watched Dave all the time. I remember him sitting in his chair in the living room chuckling away. Such great memories. As a kid I never understood the jokes. I do now and I'm laughing and smiling for me....and for my Dad! 🙏

The Irish are great storytellers, none more so than dave allen❤❤❤

This man is pure gold!

My Dad R.I.P. was the exact same he loved watching Dave Allen back in the 80s & 90s when I was a kid growing up in Ireland. Dave was he's favorite comedian of all time. I can still picture him sitting in the bosses chair, as he used to call it, laughing so much that he had tears in his eyes. I of course hadn't a clue why. If only my dad knew his real surname was Tynan, the same as ours...I could imagine my dad saying if he knew that fact back then..that makes sense alright. Lol always makes me smile. Comedy Genius David Tynan legend. R.I.P.

I’m 62. In the 1970s me and my Dad used to watch him and have a great laugh. A comic Titan was Dave Allen.

Just brilliant! A true comedian❤

thanks dave, " And may your god go with you "

I watched him with my father as a young child, I am now 60 and he is just as funny and entertaining today. An irreplaceable icon who's memory will live on. Thank you for all the laughs I shared with my father. RIP Dave and thank you for the fond memories.

Thanks, Dave Allen, for bringing laughter Into our house.

brilliant storyteller

Best there was, will never be another like him

I haven’t laughed like that in a very long time. God bless Dave Allen.

My favourite comedian of all time

What a storyteller! Used to watch this years ago.

You couldn’t get away with these jokes today. I’m glad I grew up with a sense of humor & a legend

Not just one of Britain's greatest verbal comedic talents, Dave Allen showed the absurdity in the everyday, the mundane and most of all, a humans capacity for both good and evil in a way that only someone without a sense of humour would ignore. It didn't matter if a belief in the supernatural was required, to Dave, all that mattered was if you laughed, then he had done his job. He never treated his audiences as if they're a bunch of ill informed idiots, only there to be insulted, for him it was a privilege to make you laugh, to think and with any luck, to leave his shows with a new-found hope for the future. Although he's no longer with us, he'll live on in our hearts and memories. To Dave Allen, gods favourite Atheist, Rest In Peace.

Dave Allen was always a privilege to watch. Classic. I'm now a member of AA. One night when I had the courage to share (a god of your understanding). I quipped "May your God go with you 😮. I am still in AA.😮

We loved watching Dave Allen when we lived in the UK in London back in the 70s and early 80s. He's a gem. Thank you Dave Allen for all the wonderful laughs. RIP. ❤

Listening/watching this while in the gym. Laughing quietly and grinning like a Cheshire Cat. Comedians can't tell a story like Dave Allen. Amazing talent.

Used to watch Dave Allen years ago. Great comedian.

It is September, 2023.. I was in my mid 20's and found this man's humor so on point..

I grew up watching Dave Allen, and it was brilliant to re-watch his shows at different ages and understand more and more jokes. To this day, I can re-watch and laugh no matter how many times I've seen the routine. What a treasure this man was. 💜

AAWWH!! R.I.P. DAVE ALLEN . HILARIOUSLY ! FUNNY FOR THE DURATION OF HIS TIME ON EARTH . FROM U.K.(2021).

Ireland's best greetings from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

One of the absolute best doing what he did so well. R.I.P.

Dave Allen was a unique and very great comic talent. Outwardly, he was urban, relaxed and charming to a fault. Inwardly, he was driven by rage and anger against the mundane and the banal in everday life and Establishment hypocrisy wherever he found it, whether in the church or state. His humour was observational and personal but universal in its appeal. It spoke to, and for, us. I miss him still.

DAVE ALLEN was so hilarious and witty.. Loved sitting down with my family as a kid watching him. Some of the jokes I obviously didn't understand but now re-watching his show I understand and can't stop laughing. He is 1 of a kind 😂😂😂😂😂😂

What an absolute blessing in these dark days! Laughter is the best ever medicine! ❤️❤️

His comedy was brilliant!

Man was the greatest UK comedian

A legend. One of the all time great comedians 🙏

Loved this. It brought back memories of when I was a kid. You can't get humour like this anymore

I love this man

absolutely brilliant watched as a kid , his jokes are just timeless ...superb

Man, I miss Dave. He was brilliant. Peace

The tenner under the car wheel is,for me,one of the greatest tv jokes ever,it encapsulates everything about a man who without doubt one of our greatest comedians

Comedic genius ahead of his time. Thank you for sharing.

Growing up in the 1980s i saw his 70s shows on repeat and his current stuff at that time, Dave Allen was Comedy Gold.

I could never take the church seriously after watching Dave Allen in my youth.

Who wouldn't want Dave as a dad. What a wonderful wit. And came from Rathfanham ,just like me. Many years have passed since his departure, but leaves us all still laughing 😂😂RIP Dave.

I loved watching Mr Dave Allen, he was such a funny man, & I used to enjoy his jokes, with a cigar in one hand, & a scotch in the other, he was just something else. RIP DAVE.

Dave Allen magic! We would watch him in the 1970s and early '80s - totally mesmerized. Caught this tonight and my pets were wondering around signaling confusion because feeding time was delayed 2 hours due to Mommy lost in this man's incredible talent. Thanks for sharing ❤

Best comedian ever in my book . I used to cry at his jokes.

Our family loved him, and my father would holler too! Great storyteller, thanks Dave!!

Dave Allen, the one and only.

Ledgend one of the greatest comedians ever

my Grandfather adored the ground he walked upon, even recorded a series off BBC in early 80s and still had it till he died 4 years ago... i loved Dave Allen too......

You know full well this would never get made today. Too many TV bosses too scared of upsetting someone. A pity really.

Dave Allen was a Genius. So funny. His jokes reflect a time that I remember as a child that is now sadly long gone. You don’t get comedians like him anymore. Still makes me laugh in a way that is not matched today.

Terrible attacks on Mother Church!! I watched this when young; I'm 76. Really made me realise how silly religion is. So ahead of it's time. Thanks Dave

"By the year 2020 there will be standing room only" Standing beside one another was the last thing on anyone's mind in 2020!

I frickin' love this dude I'm smiling like jackass in approval of everything he says!! Wherever you are I hope it's a suitable place for you!!

"some day we'll have hot summer"; shame you weren't still here to enjoy it when it came in 2022 Dave. I would love to have heard you comment on this madness we are in the midst of here now

Pure joy to watch! - sadly missed, loved his shows,lovely memories with family watching him ❤️

In a class of his own and still so dearly missed. Dave Allen was pure comedy genious.

The tenner under the car wheel. Classic.

Classic. Kenny everett las dawson ronnie barker dave allen they were the days.

love dave so handsome rip

My Dad always used to watch Dave Allen many many years ago whilst having a drink and a smoke. I now do the same. A very funny man that still makes me laugh today. Good Night and may your God go with you.

Smart, sharp, debonair & witty

These skits and jokes were a great memory test for me and surprisingly I could still recall the punchlines for many of his classics. Proper comedy in an era when the world had a sense of humour and people weren't afraid of taking the piss.

watched dave allen when he first was shown on BBC 1971, top comic, sadly missed, very underrated

Thanks for the humour Dave, you’re the best ever❤️😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

One of the funniest and greatest comedians ever ! R.I.P.

Dave is one of the all time best observational comedians. Dick Emery, Benny Hill & the 2 Ronnies Smith & Jones were also brilliant.

Find myself watching this more the older i get! Memories of me and my dad creasing up 😂💖

As a kid, I found his Statistical jokes so so hilarious. I love irish humour Dermot Morgan as Father Ted being one of my Fav comedy shows. You just don't get this quality of content anymore on TV very good memories thanks for posting this.

I used to love watching Dave Allen in the late 1980s on PBS in the US.

Brilliant! Brought back some very pleasant memories I didn't realise my brain still held. Not so much the monologues, but I genuinely could remember how some of the sketches ended as soon as they started.

Saw him live he was superb

Dave Allen is a legend and my favourite comedian. Thanks for sharing

Humour is the breakdown and delivery of observation. How good comedian you are is how good your observation is. Dave Allen was a master.

What can you say but absolutely brilliant out this world. A proper comedian.

Dave Allen's urbane, observational, comedic style drew from a deep well of anger and sardonic contempt for the totems of the Irish society in to which he was born: church; state, class. He exposed hypocrisy where he saw it and railed against the absurdities of the age in which he lived wherever he saw them. He was a true original. I can think of no comedian in my lifetime who I miss more.

my parents from wales uk went to zambia (africa) copper mines for lifestyle change in the 1970z and i as a small boy would whatch dave on zambian tv believe it or not ..i pissed me self laughing and still do

I remember every living back on Long Island in the 70s. And watching every Sunday night's on Channel 9 at 11 and crying myself to sleep. A true master.

In my house hold Dave Allen was a genius.

Thank any God 4 dave😊

Dave, Allen you were amazing, may your god go with you 🙏

Thank you. Brilliance at his best. Always.

The greatest ever

Dave your were brilliant

Legend :) His show was emitted in the 80's in Yugoslavia, on "Sunday afternoon show," and nobody will miss it for anything.

Class act, all the way.

Rip 🙏 Dave Allen 😭 a comedian genius he is badly missed 😢

Loved him as a kid. Seems I still do. 👍

In high school, I used to watch Dave Allen. At school, I would laugh with a friend of mine who also watch them. What a great memory.

I seriously believe this video gave me glimpse of how it must feel to be in some paradise (not saying I know anything about paradise n stuff, but this was a pleasure better then sex or liquor ... or sex n liquor ... not saying I know anything about sex or liquor stuff I am a born muslim n practising Zen celebate monk - unofficially though). This gentleman is a pure gift in a world full of mixed blessings.

I have only been on your site for couple of months and l must say l just love it so much what a wonderful Lady you are l live un Hereford UK the home of cider with a wonderful cider museum as well. thank you so much for your lovely videos. David Lea
