Doesn’t matter when you are from, Ireland Northern Ireland, England , Wales, Scottish. This man is hilarious. The Glasgow sense of humour is priceless.

As a non Scott, as soon as I saw the words Glasgow and Terrorist attack together, I started chuckling uncontrollably and felt guilty about it. After watching how hard Scottish people are laughing at the idea, my respect has gone through the roof because it's this type of emotional maturity that makes these terrorists die for nothing. You guys can laugh at dark things and that's why they lose their power over you. Your dark sense of humour is a sign of strength not weakness (at least in this context). Compared to Americans who take endless glory in victimhood.

The line that cracked me up the most was the suicide bomb instructor, 'Pay attention, lads, I am only going to show you this once'. The tears were rolling down my cheeks.

Billy is the only person that I'm aware of (28 years old and lived in Glasgow my whole life) that can bring the whole city together - its sad because it feels like we're getting to the end of his career. A living legend who will have a statue with a cone on the head one day 💚

There will never be another one anywhere near the likes of Billy Connolly and I am grateful to have been alive in the time of Billy Connolly

Billy's gift and the reason so many Glasgow people love him is that he made them feel the beauty in their culture and ways even with all the flaws, if only every other culture, country, belief system had a Billy Connolly

must have watched everything on the net with billy connely at least twice and everytime I end up laughing till my guts ache and tears are running down my wrinkly old cheeks. Thanks a million billy for making those sleepless nights a joy instead of unbearable

Here in Northern Ireland we've no problem getting Billy's humour. Many a time he's cheered us up when we've been going through bad times. Lots of Scottish lingo is the same as ours. I've Scottish heritage and I'm proud of that! Love to Billy as he fights his illnesses. 😍😍

Top Class comedic commentary! I remember watching the news flashes about this terrorist attack on the BBC and I remember thinking at the time "I sure do feel sorry for those terrorists". They never attacked Scotland again! BIG YIN , YOU RULE!

its breaks my heart to see this great man fighting this vile illness . stay stong big lad !!!!!

Billy Connolly is one of the best stand ups in the world..

City of GLasgow 1, Terrorists 0.... SAYS IT ALL REALLY........

The Romans conquered Europe and marched through England, they built a wall when they got to Scotland .........just saying 😅

I remember seeing him do this at the kings theatre in Glasgow and he got a standing ovation

The Scottish people are the most warm hearted people in the world, but cross them at your own risk.

A true Glaswegian icon, nobody tells a story like Sir Billy. Love the Big Yin

He's a funny guy. I remember his sketch on homosexuality a few years back: "100 years ago it was illegal. 50 years ago it was outrageous. 30 years ago it was frowned upon. 10 years ago it was OK. 5 years ago it became cool and happening. I'm getting the fuck outa here before it becomes compulsory!!!"

Love how the Glaswegian baggage attendant snapped a tendon in his fucking foot when he kicked him in the balls 😂

You’ve actually caused a great deal of pain in my jaws from laughter. First saw you live in the old ABC Belfast. You had banana feet at the time and myself and my daughter can still sing, “If it wasna for your wellies”, to my grandchildren and her gorgeous youngsters. Love you Billy Connolly. Loved the tour from the Europa, most bombed hotel in Europe to the trendy male shop called Trampus, with a bomber jacket in the window. Loved the wee film, What we did on our holidays, also shared with my grandchildren, who are spectacular by the way. Xxx

Brilliant! There will never be another story teller like Billy again!. Thanks Billy.

My Dad played Billy tapes all throughout my childhood,in the house,on the way to Wales ,camping for a week,the lot. I didn't get many of the jokes,but my Dad cried laughing. I'm a Dad myself now,and realise,what a gift I was given. Dad,Billy,I love ya !!

The funniest man ever - a comic genius - a Scottish legend - nobody has ever come close to this man and I doubt anybody ever will !!

Whenever there is a new attack anywhere in the world, after watching the news reports I come back to this video to put the whole thing into perspective.

Saw him live in 08. I laughed so much, I was sore for days. The man's an utter genius

An absolute diamond. This guy is so funny i have all his dvds. There are not many comics that can start a story, go off on a tangent and do full circle coming back to his story an hour later. He is a comic genius. I always wanted to see one of his shows, it was on my bucket list, but with time constraints and other stuff always coming up i never got to see him live. I guess i never will now he has his health problems, such a shame. He has made many people laugh and forget about their problems even if it was only for a couple of hours. This man is a national treasure. Long Live the Billy!

BRILLIANT! "Don't come here, we'll set right about yee" Haha. So proud to be Scottish!

He is a comic legend. I think there will only ever be one Billy Connolly with his acerbic wit and his ability to make us laugh at the normal savings of life. His humour never belittles anyone he laughs with you not against you.

Amazing. Seen this a million times never gets old. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

"We're not sure about religious fanatics without a fucking football team" gets me every time 🤣🤣

Has to be the best 7 minutes I have watched in a long time. I laughed out loud. Good old Billy. He`s 100% right you know about terrorists

“I’m only gonna show you this once” 😂

I love Billy Connolly he's hilarious, my grandparents are friends with him and my grandpa always tells me stories about him and Billy

The greatest comedian of all time, a true legend. Superb piece.

Saw Billy years ago live. I thought I would need surgery to recover afterwards. Glaswegian humour at its best, just visit any pub and there are lots of charcaters just like him.

whenever I watch this I feel like i'll be in need of an ambulance, I can hardly breathe for laughing. The laughs are schooshing out in all directions. Bless you Billy and Mr John Smeeton(?)

What a man honestly the tears are running down my face proud to be from the same city as you Billy a true legend watched his programme on New Year’s Eve and the people that spoke about him told us what an amazing person you are thanks a million for sharing it with us god bless

I forget who said it (possibly Sean Lock RIP), but they said that the Glasgow terrorists thought the worse thing that would happen that day was being blown up. Instead while on fire, they had a bloke kick them in the bollocks so hard, he broke his foot! Brilliant!

No matter how many times you watch a billy monologue you still laugh every time

Billy Connolly is the best comic ever. His life story is truly remarkable.

My Brother and his Wife met Billy Connolly in a Restaurant eating fish and chips, my Brother asked for a photo Billy invited them to sit with him at his table. They all had a good chatter, my Brother said he spoke so quietly and was a really nice guy.

I come back to this video when I need to belly laugh! I love Billy Connolly!!!

legend- Billy is getting older but always puts a smile on ma face......

This goes beyond comedy and into something that touches your heart. Good for you mate. May you live for many more years.

Perfect Connolly... love him .

The greatest stand up ever, my hero. In between the laughs, everything Billy says is spot on aswell.

Did you see the camera operator start shaking around and having to turn it off for a moment to compose themselves. Billy is truly the standup master.

“We’ll set right about ye!” and with a narwhale tusk in London too. Bless you Billy.

If you don't love this man you have no sense of humour or no soul .

Billy, is the best stand up of all time...... He is a total legend! Made me cry with laughter for years! The best there has been,the best there is and the best there always will be!

Right lads I'm only gona show you this once HAHAHA

Billy Connolly is my favorite pick-me-up when I've had a shitty day.

when you realise he is in Belfast his line about being sick of all terrorists has more clout

"Religious fanatics in Scotland without a fuckin football team, I don't know about that!" He can hardly even tell the story for laughing, oh how hilariously funny! suicide bombers don't go to Glasgow Airport, they set right aboot ye!! Absolutely brilliant!

He once said he wouldn't vote for anyone he wouldn't have a drink with in a bar. Thats why I have never voted, I'm 75.

😂❤❤. Only Billy could deliver this skit......absolutely brilliant.....😂😂❤❤

Absolutely superb. The world will be a cold, dark place when we lose this guy. The best ever......

No one could have said it any better let get a petition for a knighthood and a statue anyone agree ?

WE DON'T MIND A BIT A TERROR IN GLASGOW

THIS IS SCOTLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

''flying mince'' he is a genius

Have watched this so many times, it's the funniest thing ever,well done to whoever took it and to hear the laughs of the woman in the audience. I absolutely get what he means about the surge of pride about your hometown .

The attack was 30th Jun 2007 - how the time has gone. This is still the funniest video about the attack. Do not mess with Glasgow.

"...flames were skooshin right oot the back..." oh that had me in tears just magic.

Billy United the Scots we all had something in common with him he was incredibly funny and still is ,thank you Billy

Absolutely hilarious.... I can't watch this enough times. God Bless you Billy!

Great one Billy, I'm a Geordie its like a Glaswegian only with our heeds kick in.

Watching the news that day is one of my favourite memories... the guy telling the reporter that they put the flames out because they're human and they didn't want anyone to die. Then they kicked the sh*t out of them for trying to blow up the airport.

"Am only gonnae show ye this once!"

Dont care what anyone has to say about Billy Conolly, hes an absolute genius. Yous just dont get it cause youre not scottish! SCOTTISH AND PROUD!

Brilliant he has to be one of the best if not the best stundup comedians ever.

There is and only ever will be one Billy Cornelly legend.

I have had the privilege of seeing this comic genius twice, he hurt me with all the laughter, a pain worth a ton of diamonds! Thanks Big Yin!

"When the fracas ensued, was the Cherokee ablaze?" LOL, oh dear Lord...

Billy Connolly is the funniest guy ever!!!

One of the true geniuses of comedy.

Always fantastic. No matter how many times I listen to this, I still laugh.

John Smeaton a hero if ever there was one i salute you mate makes me proud ta be scottish!

Who ever not so secretly filmed this video, thanks for sharing it. Billy Connolly always makes me laugh.

Billy at his best, a classic account of the failed terrorist attack at Glasgow Airport !!

He’s an awesome guy, I had the privilege of meeting him after a show a few years back, and he teared up a bit and hugged me as he’d already read the letter I left with a roadie... I’d said in the letter that we knew from his shows how he didn’t get along the best with his own father...and after my mum left my dad, I’d borrowed some of his DVDs from a friend, and dad was a fan and we watched them together, then as his world tour shows came out we watched them together. I credited him with the strengthened relationship I attained with my own father, thanking him for being a catalyst for us to grow closer as he went thr ugh heartbreak and I went through the rough teen years. Everyone was jealous cos they got a handshake and he hugged me. Was a highlight of my life to last

Love you Billy 💖 You've always been my favourite comedian 💛

They never tried again....

Being of Scottish decent, and also living in Cleveland...I totally understand Billy here...then again I have (not bragging) always understood Billy's genius.

As a Glaswegian.......one of a kind. After he died, this guy was as close to my Grandpa's personal comedy as could be. Hope it's not for many a year, but it will hurt when he moves on. God bless you Billy. X

Big yin never disappoints, this beautiful man is an icon!!! As for attacking Glasgow..... well played terrorist guys, you picked the one place that doesn't feel fear of any flavour..... crying

Billy , one of the best he always treads where others fear to , we need you Billy !

John Smeaton will be so proud to be part of a Big Yin routine. No greater honour than being praised by the real King Billy.

I was there this night, the funniest night of my life. He's a legend!

Makes you proud to be Scottish

I've watched this about 3 times and I'm still in stiches every time it comes back on! The suicide bomber instructor "Right lads pay attention, I'm only going to show you this once" Funniest guy in the universe!

"This is Glasgow, we'll set about you." John Smeaton the legend.

Thank god for Billy Connolly!, a man with the gift to tell a joke till it cripples you.

I watched this show live! I nearly wet myself laughing! Billy is utterly brilliant!!! The best ever!!

One of my favorite stories Billy tells about Glasgow people is this one. Been away from Glasgow for many years but I recognize all that he talks about. School teachers, women on a bus, drunks, football fans. I knew them all too. I first heard a record of his in the 1970's and laughed till it hurt. 🤣🤣🤣

When you're feeling down or unwell just watch Billy my god you don't have cheer up .They guy is just brilliant. Gawn yer self Billy.

Imagine doing a suicide attack and you end up being talked about by billy... You did the opposite of what you wanted.

Your the man Billy. ALWAYS WILL BE.

At his peak Billy reigned supreme, nobody touched him. A generation of Billy wannabees have come and gone and they did not get close. Oh, and he is a very nice bloke, and certainly more welcome than a 'fart in a spacesuit'!

Tears are running down my face. Pure brilliance.

This is my favourite stand up sketch ever. Unreal funny🤣🤣🤣🤣
