LAUGHS FROM THE PAST COMEDIANS 1970s

9......

These are funny

February 2025. .Keep coming back ..hilarious Stan Boardman..

so many memories from a great time when all the family could watch shows together, even if we didn't always get the joke

Jim Bowen was great, smashing , super in The Comedians.

Priceless.. When stand up WAS Stand up. Thanks for posting :)

Proper comedy!

Appalling. Not a funny moment between them. My father loved this sh!te. He always did have poor taste.

About as funny as a broken arm.

Brilliant senseofhumour requrired

Im genuinely shocked how bad the majority of these jokes are. Big fan of Bernard Manning too

When comedy and comedians were actually very funny, unlike todays bland boring zombies.

No comedians in England like this now... England will have to get used to those fantastic immigrant comedians.

Ken Goodwin. How funny. We all thought it was stupid then. I see nothing to change my mind now. No doubt someone thinks this is funny even now. Subjective.

Love these thank you lad

😊😢

Frank Carson: "It's the way I tell 'em!" Classic line!

I loved The Comedians when it was on every Saturday night in the 1970s. I was just a school boy and I never missed it. I will soon be 61 and the comedians back in those days were head and shoulders above any of today's comedians. I loved them all but my favourite was Ken Goodwin. He had me rolling on the floor with laughter. 😂

Thank goodness Tony Allen and Alexei Sayle invented alternative Comedy. (Alexei Sayle Ullo John! Gotta New Motor)

classic, loved watching "The Comedians" back in the day

Charlie Williams is so funny!!

I just came across this, and I m having good belly-laughs. ..... Awesome stand-ups.... Thank you. Much appreciated..., Cheerio from Down Under 🌺

WHY DO THEY ALL HAVE FUNNY ACCENTS AND TALK FUNNY. AHAHAHA AHAHAHA LOL

They sure are.

Thank you so much, God bless you and your loved ones!

Modern comedy is very different kind of comedy compared to comedy from the 70s and early 80s, these are basically men telling christmas cracker jokes on stage, it's no different to reading a knock knock joke in front of a bunch of people. Modern stand up comes from situational observations. A joke can last 10 to 15 minutes and will always get a call back towards the end of a show. Comedians now a situation relevant to them and make them relevant to the audience. I've not laughed once watching any of these comedians, well with the exception of Mike Reid because like I stated earlier, they're just telling christmas cracker jokes. And before anyone says you're too young to understand, I watch a lot of classic comedies from Dads Army, Two Ronnies, Only Fools, Steptoe & Son etc so I do find humour in a lot of "older comedy" but not these.

Such bad comedians, lol

Back when comedians were actually funny. Sadly, comedy in the UK has died a very long and painful death.

Absolutely awful, really really poor.

Used to watch this as a young kid...about 11. Was funny then...a bit tame now.

When comics told jokes

Wasn’t life so simple then. No woke

You can see where Bodger Johnson got his style from.

I do enjoy this . But wish you would but all the names in 💚💛💗💜💙❤🇮🇪

These laughs are in the right place, the past... Laughing at their own "jokes" doesn't make them better

Laugh - I almost did.

Charlie Williams - they were a bit 't'other ro-ad' 😂😂😂. I haven't heard that expression for years!! 😂

I grew up with this, so glad they're not around anymore.

These comedians are all dead now and would not last a day in current times. Some accents were horrible.

cant ever understand the way brits talk

Brought memories back. When comedians were comedians with humor and laughter and could say anything they like people thought nothing more. I'm afraid those days have gone we're in a politically incorrect society. I will sub and give thumbs matey

Can’t beat the comedians from back in the day timeless 😂👌👌

Very nice to see these, as the dvd set released some years ago had loads of stuff cut out.

It must be canned laughter! Nobody in their right mind would laugh out loud at these pathetic so called jokes!

Laughing now.True comedians those were the days.

One word. "BRILLIANT".

Good old offensive English comedy.

Class acts 👍😂👍

Loved repeats of this in the 80s.
