I believe the comedian is Barry Humphries playing Sir Les Patterson (Thanks DowserDude!!!) on the Talk Show Michael Parkinson. Hope all you dog lovers, especially Schnauzer owners have a giggle.
Nearly pissed myself laughing at the punchline but it's also his delivery and the reaction of the other guests that makes this absolute gold. Farewell genius.
To the Melbourne comedy festival organisers,,,,Shame on you,,!,,Barry Humphries was the greatest comedy genius ever to have graced Australia and the World,,,,and didn’t deserve your snub…rip Barry Humphries,,,,The world is a much poorer place without you…
Agree! The so called comedians in Melbourne who cancelled the Barry Awards are pathetic! IMO their "audience" would consist mainly of woke uni students who laugh on cue and/or canned laughter!
The entire comedy scene in the Western world is being shafted by humourless tw*ts beholden to the “cult of woke”. They’re at it all over the U.K. and especially in Scotland where they’ve just brought in a “hate speech” law which will ring the death knell to the Edinburgh Fringe. Humourless authoritarianism and comedy do not go together.
Here here couldn't put it better myself ! Absolutely brilliant comedien 1 that's irreplaceable! The British would never 4get him those feeds in Ozz didn't deserve him ! The funniest of the funniest that I will watch till I croak !
Never really warmed to Dame Edna (but I could see the appeal, and skill), but I agree, Sir Les Patterson was an incredibly rich creation, and Barry Humphries did so much more than lazily portray a slob. Sublime.
I love it when Barry Humphries speaks where ever he is, the audience is always dead silent cause you just know there's going to some gold nuggets and nobody wants to miss them.
This is a masterclass in delivery. Note the way he very cleverly engineered the the final line at precisely the moment when he had their attention in full without distracting laughter. Brilliant stuff.
It is sad. They have played a roll in my life, interesting interviews, and great comedy. I will certainly miss that from these two men. Fortunately it is committed to film for us to rewatch.
@@anthonyat2401 Well I am a poof so I could have been. But Parkinson wasn't as bad as you are making him out to be. What are you expectations? Or mores the point what have you done in your life?
He was the best! And you couldn't do it any better! You see it coming but you don't know how! Under two minutes and I wet my pants! Unbelievable!!! R.I.P.!
He was absolutely fabulous everytime you watched him as Les, especially. When this man passed away, they refused a State Funeral for him in Victoria, and it was the most insulting thing that they could ever have been done. I grew up watching him, and he did much for comedy in this country, but typical of today, you can't have a laugh in this place anymore, totally banned comedy, rather have people stand up and swear their heads off and thing it's humour.
Watching guests' and hosts' expressions wherever Barry was hosted was like watching a train wreck unfold - you know it's going to be horrible but it's impossible to either look away or not laugh! RIP big fella and thanks for the laughs.
Vale Barry Humphries. Someone being interviewed on ABC Radio recently recounted that Barry, as Dame Edna, was asked to do a short endorsement for Tasmanian cheese. It was recorded, but never went to air: "Ahh, Tassie. That bushy little triangle down there, where the cheese is so strong!"
My favourite character of his, now sitting on that great celestial cheese board in the sky. I can't remember the last time I laughed so much at a joke!
Just superb storytelling from the master of his craft .. he was truly a genius .. I’ve watched this clip for years and still explode with mirth at the punchline .. simply 5 star gold .. RIP maestro ❤️
You have taken the words out of my mouth, i watch this at least once a month after forgetting about it. I've got my friends to sit and watch this, and told them NO TALKING. and within a week I could hear,,, CUS. SHE ALWAYS HAD A LOSE DENTURE. in the background of a noisy pub. Just the best delivery of a joke ever
Ian, I have to watch this at least once a month and have done for the past two years and I piss myself laughing every time. Its the delivery and that one time he looks up pulling a face that gets me. And to finish it off he repeats. THE HAIRS IN THE EAR OF THE DOG 🐕. one of the funniest jokes in my book. 👍👍👍
Nearly pissed myself laughing at the punchline but it's also his delivery and the reaction of the other guests that makes this absolute gold. Farewell genius.
its pure a grade genius that joke
I'm in real physical pain from the punchline and the ensuing coughing fit. What a joke.
RIP Barry Humphries (February 17, 1934 - April 22, 2023), aged 89
You will be remembered as a legend.
For sure. He was a very, very funny guy with lots of hilarious characters.

Typical woke mentality of today I am afraid.
Indeed.. often no name unfunny comics who think they are better than they are.

A sad day indeed but the laughter will still continue. RIP Barry and thank you for bringing us such joy.

It's amazing to think that a room full of writers at SNL can't make a joke but Barry did it on his own.
He was my favourite character tbh. Dame Edna was great but Sir Les was gold!
Never really warmed to Dame Edna (but I could see the appeal, and skill), but I agree, Sir Les Patterson was an incredibly rich creation, and Barry Humphries did so much more than lazily portray a slob. Sublime.
Only Sir Les could have pulled that one off. What a classic.
I love it when Barry Humphries speaks where ever he is, the audience is always dead silent cause you just know there's going to some gold nuggets and nobody wants to miss them.

Actually he nearly fucked it up. He had to go back to the dog having hair in its ears and that was the reason it couldn't hear!
RIP Parky. Extraordinary guest facilitator.
Two great legends who will be sorely missed....Parky and Barry. Thanks for the memories guys. R.I.P.
It is sad. They have played a roll in my life, interesting interviews, and great comedy. I will certainly miss that from these two men. Fortunately it is committed to film for us to rewatch.
Barry is sorely missed. Parkinson is dead too - no longer the luckiest talentless man alive.
@@anthonyat2401 It is also comedic that you are bitter about Parkinson.
@@kingy002 Don't be so silly. Sounds like you were his bum buddy.
@@anthonyat2401 Well I am a poof so I could have been. But Parkinson wasn't as bad as you are making him out to be. What are you expectations? Or mores the point what have you done in your life?
He made me laugh so hard on so many occasions. An Aussie legend. RIP Barry
He was the best! And you couldn't do it any better! You see it coming but you don't know how! Under two minutes and I wet my pants! Unbelievable!!! R.I.P.!
You can’t better that delivery. Supreme.
RIP Bazza and Parky. Two legends never forgotten.
The subtle intonation when he says Schnauzer makes this superb!
Just watched this and haven't laughed so loud for a long
time - Martine's expression was classic !
Absolutely hilarious!
Her face was a picture. 😂
I've watched this every single day since BH passed away - and I cry with laughter every single time. The man was pure comedy gold.
Impeccable timing sir les
Always a great story teller , no matter which character
Absolutely brilliant,had never seen this one before,tears of laughter running down my face. RIP very funny man
He was absolutely fabulous everytime you watched him as Les, especially.

It has been an honor to be have been entertained by Sir Les. Rest in peace sir.
He was just brilliant 😂 RIP Barry
Genius! Thank you Barry. ❤
Barry Humprhies at his best. A unique comedian and social satirist, the like of which we may never see again.
Watching guests' and hosts' expressions wherever Barry was hosted was like watching a train wreck unfold - you know it's going to be horrible but it's impossible to either look away or not laugh! RIP big fella and thanks for the laughs.
Faaark, he was so funny. RIP Barry.😭🇦🇺
Immaculate comedy timing.
Love this joke, so brilliantly simple & hilarious 😂😂
I watch this every few weeks, and it always makes me laugh out loud. The man was a comic genius.
Vale Barry Humphries. Someone being interviewed on ABC Radio recently recounted that Barry, as Dame Edna, was asked to do a short endorsement for Tasmanian cheese. It was recorded, but never went to air: "Ahh, Tassie. That bushy little triangle down there, where the cheese is so strong!"
An Australian legend RIP Barry.
A wicked sense of humor and the mind to keep up with it.
Much have watched this a 100 times and never gets bland brilliant
Love this Joke . R.I.P Sir Les . Barry..Your videos will keep us amused for years to come . Your comedy Genius lives on.
Superb telling of a great joke.
Thanks for the laughs, Barry. Rest well.
Classic Sir Les. There will mever be another Barry Humphries thats for sure!
The good old days when you could tell a joke without swearing,
Utter nonsense. Plenty of comedians still tell jokes without swearing. Besides swearing is only words that we ourselves attach too much meaning too.
What the fuck are you talking about?
That's one of the funniest stories I've ever heard.
He was just brilliant! Miss him with his various characters. RIP
Two legends gone within weeks of other.
Always funny RIP Barry (Sir Les)
My favourite character of his, now sitting on that great celestial cheese board in the sky. I can't remember the last time I laughed so much at a joke!
The delivery is 2nd to none
😂You want the best from Australia this man was it, in my world Sir Les Patterson.
Les thanks for a great laugh. Best dog joke ever. You will be missed.
Ahahahahaha 🤣 Sir Les was even more hilarious than Dame Edna 😄😄😄
He was bloody brilliant and very sadly missed.
Les Patterson did save the world.
The joke was superb, but the timing was just perfection.
Brilliant joke and great delivery. Comic genius!
You missed the end where Martine notices something in Sir Les' trousers...
One of the Top 5 gags of all time IMHO 🤣🤣🤣
What a legend. wonderful joke well told.
Brilliant
Comedy genius
The best comic ever!
I'm not going to be able to see a Schnauzer without laughing now 🤣
Oh no…just heard of the passing of Barry. Will never see the likes of Barry Humphries again. Thanks for all the laughs, Sir Les and Dame Edna.
As soon as Sir Les said Schnauzer, you could see Parky and the guests just dying to hear the punch line.
Never forgotten.
Just superb storytelling from the master of his craft .. he was truly a genius .. I’ve watched this clip for years and still explode with mirth at the punchline .. simply 5 star gold .. RIP maestro ❤️
You have taken the words out of my mouth, i watch this at least once a month after forgetting about it. I've got my friends to sit and watch this, and told them NO TALKING. and within a week I could hear,,, CUS. SHE ALWAYS HAD A LOSE DENTURE. in the background of a noisy pub. Just the best delivery of a joke ever
Priceless! 😂😂
I can’t stop watching this, best joke ever 😂😂😂
The hair in the ears of the dog. 😂😂😂

RIP a comic genious.
He's reworked an old joke but of course it's done superbly
Im watching the reruns of Sir Les and ive never laughed so much in a long time. RIP to Barry and Parky you enriched our lives thank you so much
Ian, I have to watch this at least once a month and have done for the past two years and I piss myself laughing every time. Its the delivery and that one time he looks up pulling a face that gets me. And to finish it off he repeats. THE HAIRS IN THE EAR OF THE DOG 🐕. one of the funniest jokes in my book. 👍👍👍
Absolute genius!
Hilarious, I didn’t see that coming!
Fantastic 😂😂
Absolute timeless genius!❤
You know it's going to be dangerous. Parky's eyes...
Absolutely brilliant 😂😂😂👏👏👏👏
Absolute (ly - watch it) legend, you might have popped your clogs Les, but you'll keep us laughing forever RIP.
Excellent timing and delivery, superb.
I wonder how many times has he told this in heaven 😂
So funny lol
Whenever I need cheering up I always play Barry clips and end up in hysterics 🙂
Me as well 😂😂😂
The lady's reaction is priceless
Don't ride a boike for a fortnight! Brilliant, funniest man ever. He will never be bettered.
Legendary Sir Les Patterson, God's speed to you😢
Comedy that actually makes you laugh...
How novel....
Back when being Australian larakin you could get away with anything even on British TV 😂😂
RIP SIR LES SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS.
Timing is everything in comedy,that guy had it in spades.
RIP Sir Les. 😂😂
Genius ! Nuff said 👍
I like the look on tom jones face not wanting to expect
Amazing character and comic. Sadly missed.
He picked the perfect breed
Ha ha I know 🤣
Everyone harps on about edna but les is severely underrated
Loved this guy😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Genius.
Very old joke, but a very good one. I've heard it told in many ways by many old school comics. Always good for a laugh.
All that tireless work on behalf of the Australian cheese board....
Genius at work 🤣 Superb.
ITS Barry Humpreys, playing Sir Les Patterson, brilliant.
Thanks Dowserdude I couldn't remember, I put a thanks in the comment section.
