Dave Allen was a somewhat controversial figure for his time because he was openly atheist. Something that he joked about quite often in his sketches. That's why his signature signoff, "Goodnight, thank you, and may your God go with you." can be read with a double meaning.

I relate to this so much. Brought up as a Catholic. Went to a convent school. People of the younger generation have no idea. Yes Jamel he is being real. This is what it was like. Especially in Ireland at that time.thanks for the reaction 👍

He's comedic talent is so good, it's timeless, we'll laugh to him in 50 yrs.

I grew up watching Dave Allen from an early age in Belfast as my parents loved him. He disliked organized religion and often used the Catholic Church as an example. I’ve heard stories of him playing in clubs in my hometown and causing riots lol. A brilliant man. He always ended his TV show with the line - “And may your God go with you”. Love him to this day.

I watched him on PBS back in the 70s. One of the world's best comedians. RIP Dave Allen.

Dave Allen was a genius.

Omg Jamel…do the one about airplanes with Dave Allen. It’s HILARIOUS. He’s so refreshing isn’t he?

My favourite stand up, (well sit down with a whisky and a cigarette) comedians of the 60s/70s I LOVED Dave Allen...❤ keep watching him, he gets better and better.. 👍

Ah Dave Allen was a comic genius. I grew up watching and learning from him. He was great at observational comedy and it was really like that here in Ireland in the old days when the church had a huge amount of power over people. Thank you for reacting to him.

One of the masters of story telling.

Jamel, thanks for playing this segment, I'd completely forgotten "Into the hole he goes..." I don't remember which episode he told my favorite joke, but Dave told us about how he awoke from a terrible nightmare, where he was... "standing before the pearly gates, arguing with St Peter, when there came an ALMIGHTY SNEEZE... and nobody knew what to say." Every Saturday night PBS broadcast his shows, fun times. one last thing, he also did short film gags, and he'd sit in that chair during the video.

Years ago, PBS used to show his long-running TV program "Dave Allen at Large" Look for it on streaming. He is an absolute genius.

Dave rules.

My parents and I saw him in Australia in late eighties. He had just given up smoking, so there were all sorts of jokes about that. We used to watch his TV show all the time, and at the end he would tell a ghost story, wonderful comedian. Susan🇦🇺

one of the funniest guys ever 🤣

when I was young teen, i remember catching his TV show late night the "Dave Allen At Large" show, he was younger then he is shown in these episode clips, he would be sitting down doing his performance with a glass of some liquid (sometime a cigarette in an ashtray nearby, and sometimes there were skits. His shows was one of the few British ones that were shown / broadcast on late night Canadian TV , with such other British as: The Benny Hill Show, The Dave Allen Show, The Two Ronnies, Black Adder, and Faulty Towers.

Dave Allen painted word pictures. You actually feel like you`re listening to a conversation between the people involved. Comedy was much less smutty in those days and it meant they had to work a bit to get the ideas across. He was legendary .

Omg I’m laughing so much at these l cant see what I’m typing🤣🤣🤣

I lived in England 3 different times and saw him on TV the last time I lived there. I was in AF at the time stationed there. I didn't know at the time but, it was from the late 70s and I was there in 84-87. Most of what you watch of him is from that time period. He has some hilarious stuff, stories and skits he did on his own show. He's been dead for many years now but, his stand up and TV show is really good. I have the advantage of being half English so I get a few of the jokes and comments that Americans in general would not understand. I watched his show as much as possible while I was there. Great stuff! No swearing needed.

Dave Allen the hippest coolest comedian ever. Dave Allen walk down music and walk off is sublime, and his line, 'Good night ,and may your God go with you'😎

The chair is rather his trademark from his 1970's TV series 'Dave Allen At Large'.

saw him live in the 70's he could swear with the best of them.

Dave Allen was brilliant. I saw him live and he was a staple on British TV in the 1970s. On most of his TV shows he couldn’t swear, but when he returned to TV in his latter years he did a bit as attitudes had changed. He swore a little live, but only very selectively to add emphasis to his occasional descents into righteous anger.

George Carlin's "Ten Commandments" is an older one, and pretty clever. On the same general subject - Bill Burr "Religion", and Jim Jefferies "God is Drunk at a Party", and "Heaven and Hell".

Back when I was a teenager, he was on TV just before Dr. Who. All it took was one episode and I was sold on him. Very few comedians are as funny as he is.

With Dave Allen you can watch him over again and it is always funny.

I have listened to Dave Allen for over 50 years... he's hilarious..... British humour at its best......

Fantastic. My whole family would watch him every week here in New Zealand. His was a regular show from when I was about 5yo and all through the 70's.

I just love Dave Allen, one of the best comedians ever. I was fortunate enough to have been brought up on comedians like Dave Allen, my dad had such a great taste in comedians. If your looking for other videos to check out, you should watch Dave trying to teach his kid how to 'read' the time (on an anologue clock), one of his best ever sketches. Incredibly funny. Teachers use it to show how easy it is not to understand 'obvious' explanations.

Grew up with him on TV in Australia. Refreshing because every story was relatable, his delivery was excellent, his skits hilarious, and not a cuss word anywhere. There’s a lot of him to explore. Another comedian worth looking into, also because he was clean (for the most part), is John Pinette. Heavy-set guy, most of his comedy revolved around food, his size & weight loss, but extremely funny. Lost him too early, he was only 50.

I used to watch Dave Allen back when I was in High School (the 1980's). He had some hilarious material.

Used to watch his shows on TV with my mum when I was a lad. He was of course Irish but adopted by the Brits and much loved. A true comic genius.

Thank you. he does an airplane sketch a funeral procession, he has a fair bit of material.

Dave Allen......a MILESTONE in Irish Black Humor!...This One is Hilarious !!!!

I loved watching him in the 80’s, 90’s and seeing reruns from the 70’s. His stand up with brilliant and he was a fantastic story teller. His sketch comedy is really worth your time too. His shows were a mix of stand up and sketch.

I was hoping you would catch this segment. Everyone I show this to have a blast with this clip!

Well, he understood the basics of that religion, and other religions are not better, so now he knows all there is to know about religions. Confusion and blind faith in bizarre things.

Love Dave Allen!!!!

Hilarious 😂 I’d never heard of him!

Dave Allen on airplanes is a must!

This is my favorite Dave Allen clip of all time!

Dave normally on his comedy show sat down and told jokes and showed skits which were funny as hell, the cafeteria scene is awesome when he sees a $10 pound note stuck under a car wheel just priceless!!!!

I loved Dave Allen's TV programmes, he was so funny both in stand up and sketches.

Dave Allen is from a time where comedy was made funny by the way it was told / the story telling, without the need for cussing & swear words like so many so called comedians rely upon now. I grew up listening to him in the 70's, loved his comedy skits as well

He's such a gifted story teller, never saw better on tv.

yes I grew up with DFave allen on th4 TV I remember talking to an Irish colleague and asked him about his take on Dave Allen and as he was about 20 years ypunger than me had no ida who he was. I also love the fact although a unforgiving atheist he would always finish Goodnight an may your god go with you. I always took that two ways although being young that it was a blessing (being a good human) or making sure that the gods you followed (recognizing the many faiths out there) go with and not linger to bother with him. I recommend Cometary sketch and also a great silent skit called did you f@rt @ transposes a in csse of comment censorship. The comedy sketch series I remember is Dave Allen at large. A modern another unashamed atheist who some think influenced bo burnham is an Australian Genius Tim Minchin. His Song Thank you god is a great introduction to Tim who has many ,any wonderful standup / comedic songs which are never what they seem at first and always have am essage that gets you thinking about the topiv.

His religious jokes is as funny too 😅🤣 yes it’s a different video

Never get tired of Dave Allen 😘Nice you enjoy it

Humour 'in my day' was so witty and funny. There were so many great comedians who told hilarious and clean jokes. Miss them. ☮

David Allen was in a league of his own. Simply brilliant 🙏 Unequalled and sorely missed.🙏 May he rest in peace 🕊️

Dave Allen.....one of the best EVER !!!

I'm British 55 and used to watch Dave when I was young. Check out london Cockney guy, Micky Flanagan, my favourite Comedian.

Let's all seek to spread some joy in the world around us today! Let the light of Jesus, who loves us all, reflect from our words and actions too!

Have you reacted to Robin Williams' biblical history? I think you would enjoy that one too.

More of Dave Allen please.... I've been waiting for someone to do a reaction on him. Thanks It is not so long ago that I realize that almost everything in this plane was by design to make things either, confusing, mysterious, hidden, twisted, etc.. that it takes a big amount of effort for us to find out what is true and what is false. Fear of the unknown will only continue to exist until knowledge takes its place.

Dave was one of the best.

Great reaction. Longtime Dave Allen fan here, the guy was a master. Recommendation of mine, for your consideration. Aussie comedian Jim Jefferies. I will warn you that he uses A LOT of profanity, but he is very funny. His 'Freedumb' and 'Airplane Etiquette' would be good ones to start with. His 'Taking An MD Sufferer To A Brothel' is insane, and his two-parter on 'Gun Control' is a must-see. For that last, I believe every single point he makes is a valid one.

... Your e joy to have on the net , great presentation Jarmel, just awesome mate ! best wishes John H ( NZ)

Yes Dave had fantastic timing and his take on life usually from a kids perspective

The Irish have a wonderful sense of humour.

Dave Allen is irelands best ever comedian. RIP to one of the great genius comedians. Slainte from Ireland.

Great reaction. You should also try Peter Kay - plus his "Misheard Lyrics". Michael McIntyre, Al Murray as the pub landlord. Panel shows "Would I lie to you?" their humour is superb especially David Mitchell's rants and Lee Macks quick fire retorts, also "Mock the Week". These are just a few samples Laughter is the best medicine. Enjoy.

True stories, but he adapted them to his style of comedy. He was Irish catholic which gives depth to his comic perspective.

Dave Allen was way ahead of his time he was a comedy genius 🤣🤣🤣👍

You have got to do Dave Allen on Death(funeral sketch)...one of his absolute best. Hilarious!!!

Just watched the video you posted of Dave Allen "Adam & Eve" and I only have one comment about Mr Allen and that is that there's no atheists in a foxhole - really love your channels Jamel - your a good dude!!! God bless!!!!!

You can see how that mess a kid up! He was four years old! Omg! 😂 But the Catholic Church was very much like that years ago. I was raised in the Catholic church and Irish family! Oh my! lol. The way he explains it...I can see it! This guy is hilarious! 😂

6:29 Sheer gold.

He was the best no doubt, I've been watching your reactions and must say they are great.

Hahaha!!! That was great!! I had never seen this one before.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Anglo-Irish humour. The emptiness is on the otherside of the glass.

Dave Allen was a brilliant comic. He was taken off British TV for dropping an 'F' bomb during a routine about retirement and getting a clock as a retirement gift.

Find his sketch on the Irish funeral, it's brilliant.

The one where he does use profanity is his clock sketch. Everything done by the clock but it works brilliantly.

Dave Allan Airplanes is a classic 😂

I'm sure he used to sit and have a glass of whiskey on his show but I was young when he was on TV

Believe or not but I use to watch this at 7 years old with my parents. For your own sake personally for yourself watch his shows and sketches …. seriously from an Irish dude he loved making fun of the Catholics. Hey I was raised Catholic but it is hysterical and my very religious mum even laughed. 🤣🤣🤣 If you wish to delve in I hope you enjoy it. Love and peace from an Aussie that enjoys this sense of humour still 👍🥰

I worked with a severely disabled young man . One day he said to me "I want to you show you the stick" , at the time we were walking to toward the church .. we got to the door of the church and he pointed to the "stick" .. it was a crucifix with the image of jesus on it , he got it spot on :-)

Through the innocence of a child. Funny.

Dave Allen was never profane just gave it as it was from his life. Thank you Jamel

he was so well observed

Omg I’m wheezing

Jamel, He had a regular tv series on for 5 or 6 seasons called "Dave Allen At Large" and I think most of the episodes are on youtube.

Legend

Been believable is what makes it funny.😂

He used to always sit in the chair with a drink…RIP

This is exactly what I experienced when I went to church when I was a kid. Old Testament Fire and Brimstone Scary. My Parents decided it wasn't good for me to be exposed to religion and we stopped going to Church when I was six.

Jamal, check out Dave Allan on Giving up smoking. Its brilliant.

Notice his finger??. Anyway he had a series. Very funny the funeral burial was so funny.

You on a roll tonight.

The thing about both Dave Allen and Jasper Carrott all the stories are based on things that happened .

Ah, classical comedy. Dave was as a lot of his colleagues an excellent social observer and commentator. Also, a lot of The Two Ronnies' sketches seem to have become reality.

You got me hooked on him! 😂

Love Mitch too ❤

Sinbad was also a hilarious clean comic

I'm from Dublin and grew up in the late 80's and we had to learn religion all the way through school.......i was probably an atheist by the age of 10, nothing made sense. God is Jesus' father but God Jesus and the Holy Ghost are the same person. Noah was 950 in a time when 50 was old age. He went to every continent and somehow got 2 of every animal, kept the hot animals hot and cold animals cold.......he used refrigeration centuries before it was invented

I love my religion ❤

You have discovered Dave Allen. Lookup Dave Allen at Large. His shows are hilarious this is just his standup.

Too funny!
