Let's look into the rise, fall, and lonely death of Benny Hill: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oNphdqyW2Zulg4U.html

I loved the little dude with the bald head he used to pat his head lol

Loved his show!!!👌🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾Funny show!!! Haters going to hate his greatness!! He was a great actor entertainer!!!

My father, before he passed away, and I watched the show together. One of many things we both enjoyed.

I am a Puerto Rican from New York City born in the mid 70s and let me tell you BENNY HILL is a God to us … We Love Him …. He is one of the most iconic television stars of all time.

Benny Hill was very funny and he knew how to deliver the laughs. They don't have comedians like that anymore.

Ben Elton? Who is he? How can an Entertainer/Comedian turn down Benny Hill? The fact that he still needs to mention Benny Hill in his own shows, years after Bennys passing, speaks for itself. Benny Hill is a cult comedian here in Germany. I was in Southamptons Hollybrook cemetery to visit Fred Fleets grave, the Titanic outlook, when I found Bennys grave by accident. This touched my heart and I came back again the next day to put down some flowers and say thank you to this man who gave me so many funny memories.

king of his generation, my grandfather laughed out loud constantly, watching his show. He made millions happy and entertained, and not many people can say that

i remember my brother and i would stay up late to watch the benny hill show. it was funnier than hell back then and i have watched a few episodes recently and they are still funny as hell. gotta love english humor

Man I grew up watching his show in the 80’s and we loved him it was hillarious and people who criticize always forget context… Bless you Benny Hill thanks for the laughter and memories.

Great post. Emmy nominated actress Jane Leeves of Frasier got her big break playing one of Hill's Angels.

So what went horribly wrong?

Benny Hill's legacy lives on through his timeless sketches that continue to bring joy to audiences worldwide.

I would watch the Benny Hill show way over the crap that they put on today. The so-called reality shows are way worse in the lewdness than the Benny Hill show ever did. Even as a kid, I knew this was innocent humor. Benny is and will always be a legend in comedy no matter what the haters say.

So, Ben Elton, who is still the biggest name and one of our greatest comedians of all time? It's not you. Benny Hill is a legend.

I used to watch this show when I was 10 years old, best tv show ever, I never missed an episode

Most people loved benny hill, most people hate Ben Elton. What a nasty piece of work.

my grandmother loved this show. i could remember her laughing so loud at the jokes. i still watch it on saturdays it comes on over the air tv.

I was born in the late 60's & graw up on Benny Hill the like i.e Dick Emrey - great , never will we get anything so good again !

Henry McGee , Benny's straight Man on all Benny Hill Shows and Benny's closest friend , told a vastly different Story than your guesswork . Before Benny's Show was cancelled and was at its Peak , Benny said to Henry that if this whole thing ended Tomorrow I would Die happy . I've had such a blessed and Wonderful Life , if it ends Tomorrow I have done everything I ever wanted to do . Far from being heartbroken and lonely as you suggest .Benny couldn't care less what idiots like Ben Elton thought . Benny would be appalled by the garbage that passes as Comedy nowadays .

i loved the Benny Hill Show aired on PBS here in the States.

I loved THE BENNY HILL SHOW and still watch it to this day! He was a one of the most talented script writer and song writer combo EVER seen. For 30 mins. he could make you laugh that you'd cry. He pushed the envelope to make fun of the World, and the World laughed with him! PEACEFUL JOURNEY my Friend, Benny Hill - RIP!

Not only the greatest comedian ever, but charming, too. I have loads of DVDs with his shows because I know what REAL comedy is!

Ben Elton was a comedian,author and writer/co-writer of things like The Young ones, Black Adder, a very talented man. Benny was hilarious and cancelled mainly because of his apparent comedic content falling out of fashion, which was very British seaside post card naughty. Personally, I adored him and his show and I believe Benny’s Girls loved him too. A comedic genius.

He'll be remembered long after the woke "comedians" of today are thankfully long gone

I loved the 3’ thick book titled “ How to Be Taller “ 😂

Surely died of a broken heart, as the sound of laughter was what kept him going. Yakety Sax should have played on!

Benny forever coming from the island of Jamaica 🇯🇲

Benny Hill was awesome

Benny Hill is an All-Time Favorite in my book!!!

I still watch Bob Ross on YT but didn't think to look up Benny Hill. I really enjoyed his style comedy growing up in the 70's and 80's. I wasn't aware of how his show ended. R.I.P.

Benny Hill show was so funny, also here in Belgium we were looking forward to see him on TV, The right comedian in the right time and immortal forever in many hearts over the globe...

Grew up watching him. Legend

Ernie The Fastest Milkman In The West! Benny Hill's song thatvwent to Number 1 in the UK and Australia across late 1971 and early 1972! That often gets overlooked

When I was a young girl, I didn't quite understand what was so funny about him. I liked sketches, but didn't understand the whole half naked woman thing. The older I got, I finally got the jokes and loved all the episodes.

One of my favorite shows

One of the Best...a legend and a true comedian...may he rest in peace and Blessed always...

People who have ever tried writing comedy will definitely tip their hats to the genius that is Benny Hill.

I remember as a kid watching BH with my dad and he'd be cracking up big time..mum not so much lol. RIP Mum & Dad❤

LEGEND.

Does anybody remember in the fox29 broadcast area, the episode spoffing Dave Allen at Large ? At 10:30 pm DA at L comes on . Priceless!!

The master of comedy

Thank you dear sir you awesome comdy I laught

Benny Hill will always make people laugh .That's not something many will say about Ben Elton .

The British have 2 completely opposite kinds of humor: the extremely intelligent and subtle type like Yes Minister and the infantile and often vulgar type like The Benny Hill Show. Both kind had and have a following. I personally couldn't stand Benny Hill but I know many people loved his show.

LOVE BENNY HILL

I loved the show and still laugh at it even if I just see clips of the show so sad that we can’t have shows like this carry on films and the comedy shows of the 70’s and 80’s where good now give me shows like that not the so called comedy now

And now they have zero censorship of anything and I mean anything. Maybe they need to go back a little. Okay, not a little but a lot.

One fact that you didn’t mention is that , viewers didn’t Kate to know English to understandThe Benny Hill show.

I remember Ben Elton did a parody of Benny Hill on a Harry Enfield series on the 90s, covering up the women, swapping couples kissing and so on, sped up and to the classic yakety sax tune, theyre all irate chase him into a shed where he gets spanked. Best thing Ben Elton has ever appeared in 😂😂

Lets just stand back for a moment, If you ask people who is Ben Elton and what does he do? I am sure you would get a thundering silence! On the other hand if you asked the same people who was Benny Hill and what did he do> you would be drowned with the volume of reply's. IMHO Ben Elton at the time was a jealous and Sad loud mouth. When Ben Elton is forgotten many years from now they will still be talking about Benny Hill. And as for Thames Television it went down the Crapper so there is some justice in this world.

Bunch of haters anyone who didn't like him are people I never herd of Benny hill was awesome

His show was very popular here, in Argentina. I loved him since I was a child, around 4 or 5 years, specially the sketches, not the girls part (that become more interesting years later). But no doubt he was really loved here.

Don't believe the advertisement on this about that magical cooling unit. It ain't worth 5 dollars!

He was the fastest milkman in the West 😅

I watch most if his shows he was funny and joyful

From my perspective I liked the Benny Hill show when I was young, but later it felt a bit dated and repetitive and in the 80s. I moved on to things like the Young ones and spitting image. By today's standard it would be considered inappropriate, but it was not made today or for today's audience. One could argue that he failed to change with the times and adjust his style of humor to the new sensibilities. But all that doesn't change the fact he was on of the great comedians with a huge impact in his time. And the hate he got, especially from some fellow comedians was undeserved.

I get douche chills every time you say “craft”.

Loved him. It was tongue in cheek.

Great video! You forgot to mention how his name changed from Alfred to Benny Hill. :) For those who don't know (and if no one mentioned it yet in the comments) just cross reference Jack Benny and Benny Hill in a search.

BEN ELTON, now there's a joke!

Benny Hill was a legend and true funny man. What many do not get is that Benny was always the butt of the joke and the women always came out on top. Compared to the lurid obscene content that is out there today, Benny was a genius and brought much joy to so many.

Benny Hill is most likely the reason I’ve always had a lingerie fetish. *on women not me!* LOL! I looked forward to watching it on channel 9 during the week. When I really want to laugh I’ll still pull up one of his sketches. Thanks for the laughs Benny! 😊

The Benny Hill show was cancelled in 1989. When he was 65. Ben Elton is now about the same age. Born in 1958 or 1959. Maybe it is time he was cancelled!

Ive got benny hills autograph ❤

I'll remember Benny Hill long after i have forgotten Ben Elton....Elton was never as good as he thought he was.

Long Live Benny Hill, to this day I think about him and his funny faces when he was chasing girls half his age. Funny man who brought a smile on men’s and women’s faces alike. ❤❤

RIP to The Leged

I will remember

This show was an integral part of my teenage years. Society can be so full of shit with their criticisms and insecurities. My generation was one of those that rebelled against everything we grew up with, everything that helped normalize us as we grew into adults. Kids after us had to grasp at straws.

Benny really was a trully funny guy thank U BENNY X❤

Benny Hill was before his time, compared to today his jokes are tame, What made Benny Hill such an Iconic comedy master the realistic view of each joke. Some say he did the comedy we truly want to say or do. regardless if it's Alpha male, perverted, risque, even ethnic....it was tasteful yet explicit, brass, and prolific. Hill open the door for many comedians to not be afraid of saying or taking a risk at new controversial jokes. Cheers! to you Mate Cheers indeed!!!🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

Benny Hill was awesome!

I first started watching Benny Hill when I was in my mid to late teens I thought he was one of the funniest performers out there, I was deeply saddened to hear when he passed away. R.I.P. Benny, A true comedy genius

Benny Hill is a classic, while Ben Elton helped redefine comedy. Both are great. (Also, as a kid, I mostly watched Benny, because of all the rampant T&A on his show.)

Loved the show thought it was funny at the time we needed to laugh

Thanks!

Wouldnt be allowed now as was very talented now all you need to do is talk of periods and other bodily functions

Benny Hill was very funny!

Benny Hill was awesome and those who criticized him and the show were just haters and talentless hacks. The guy was a great comedian and it sucks they don't make shows like this any more.

How can you kiss the butcher when we owe the milkman so much. He was a genius

The Lumber Jack Song!

I’m sure he was hated on in his country because he’s the only actor from Britain to become a huge star in America … and he is the only comedian that is loved over here. We usually don’t like or care for British comedy or humor.

I definitely love Benny Hill show. I remember watching him all the time when I was a kid. We loved it because kids were not supposed to watch it. Whoever had problem with Benny was simply a hateful person.

I absolutely Love Benny Hill!

Loved Benny Hill as a kid, still do. That comedian who disparaged him is a hater and not funny. Don't even know who he is and don't care... I know Benny and miss him

Great video

Any person who watched Benny Hill and became sexist or racist or whatever other thing they claim Benny;s humour caused were that way before. It was comedy. Any person, be it race or gender or sexuality that was the butt of a joke was more often come out on top in another sketch. And any person who says that Benny would rip the clothes of a woman then chase them around have never actually watched his shows.

Never heard of Ben Elton but I sure heard of Benny Hill. Not one laugh from Elton but Man Hill knew how to make me laugh. RIP

In the 80's it was our sunday afternoon (British Humor) quater time in France this man make us laugh so many time, we also have the French equivalent with Stéphane Collaro and the Collaro Show and the famous Coco Girl with there saturday night strip tease ... Ah what a time to be alive everything was simplier and more goofy back then ...

I love Benny Hill

Of his time and a comedy legend m

He was popular in Peru during the 80's.

The reality is all forms of comedy come and go in and out of public favor over time, because comedy is absolutely contextualized by the time period in which it is being created. It is a commentary on the social norms, poking fun at social absurdities, amplified for ridicule, at itself and its topic. In the end, if Benny Hill was guilty of anything, it was that he was a capable performer that delivered a sanitized enough for the censors at the time burlesque show to family hour television when no one else had figured it out.

one of the funniest skit shows...Him, Porcel...funny and HOT chicks

He was a great talent, funny, almost a pantomime character at times. Sadly the PC Brigade had no sense of humour and the show was cancelled. Had he lived I think he would have made a comeback if slightly less schoolboy humour. RIP Benny.

He was funny, fifty years ago

Benny Hill and Dick Emery the best TV shows of the time

Personally, I loved the Benny Hill Show and the variety of characters and situations he would often portray. Comedy is subjective and humour is intended to make people laugh. Laughter is the key to a happy life and a happy outlook on life. The PROBLEM is now days you're not allowed to use comedy in its truest form and must instead bow to the woke agenda, minority groups and sycophants that want to tell you everything is offensive and hurtful to this group or that group, this perrons or the other. Comedy is intended to make us feel better through laughter. If you don't like it.. DON"T watch it, no ones forcing you to! Atop blaming the failings of the human species on comedy and start taking ownership for your own behaviour! We need more comedy like Benny Hill's!

Yes.
