Here to pay tribute to Dame Edna. Absolute genius. Rest in peace.
So sharp, he made us laugh.
HERE HERE
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🎚🎚🎚🎚🎚Barry Humphries was very very brilliant person to made this incredible creator of our favorite drag Queen we all love u Dame Edna
Here here! A true legend!
Same here. Wonderful talent. RIP.
Credit must go to Michael Parkinson for allowing Dame Edna to completely take over his show, I have lost count how many times I have watched this clip. hilarious and makes me feel so good inside
me too....it always cheers me up
I completely agree. Amazing host.
I also completely agree. Few people are confident enough to remove themselves from it when necessary. He is a total professional.
That’s a chat show host’s dream, a guest who takes over and steals the show. Doubt he’d want another Meg Ryan incident.
Dame Edna always owns the stage no matter what show she is on!
My gynecologist looked up this morning...... He can hardly stifle his own laughter at that point.
2 absolute legends together.
I don't know how many times I've watched this clip and never fails to have me in stitches.
We will miss you both so much. Rip Barry and Michael, the world will never be the same without you both.
I'm low at the moment and I watch this every day it helps me so much what talent's R.I.P ❤
You will be 'high' tomorrow...keep the faith! 🙏
This is my favourite interview with Dame Edna, simply the best and most hilarious omg Dame Edna you are so missed ❤
I always watch this when I need a laugh. Thank you Barry for all that you have given us. Rest in Peace
Me too !
Yeh! Thank you Barry? You been a gem in a rather f...ked world RIP
Me too. He is a genius and I will never forget him.
Wasn't he absolutely fantastic?
I've watched this at least 50 times over the years...still laugh out loud like the first time! RIP Barry
What I most love about this is the way Dame Judi & Sharon kick off their shoes, sit as though they're in their own sitting rooms, and just allow themselves to be entertained. Not only does it speak volumes for Dame Edna's abilities as a guest, but it's an extremely generous gesture from them to acknowledge the skill of that performance.
I wud have loved to smell her shoes
Yes, a good observation - speaks volumes
Thank you for that comment. That was a masterclass in professional comedy: beautifully crafted, seemingly effortless, utterly believable, complex and killingly funny. That little bit more sad so soon after his last curtain call.
Oh, so sad.
Spot on.
They were grossly outclassed and wore it. Idiot
RIP Barry Humphries (February 17, 1934 - April 22, 2023), aged 89
And
RIP Sir Michael Parkinson (March 28, 1935 - August 16, 2023), aged 88
You both will be remembered as legends.
The funniest 16 minutes of talk show history. The master at work!
RIP Michael Parkinson and Barry Humphries. Absolutely brilliant interview.
Well said.Both sadly missed.
Possibly the best Dame Edna ever.
She simply owns the audience.
I've seen practically every video of her on CZcams. I think this may be her best appearance ever.
@@desiderius82 I too… This is superb television, I won’t ever tire of rewatching it :-))
@@desiderius82 I agree but the 2nd best is the Joan Rivers show with Joan from dynasty as a guest. This one is amazing,
@@desiderius82 Have u seen Edna on Blind Date for comic relief? So funny 😂😂😂
Type in Dame Edna school bully on the US show the View. Hilarious.
I've watched this interview at least 15 times and I'm still laughing my head off. Thanks Dame Edna!
Me, too.
I agree with that….. Dame Edna was outside to make people laugh and Barry Humphries who inside to made Dame Edna become real iconic Real Queen drag Queen I understand pretty good where or who came from also he raised 2 kids I’m very happy that he can handle the kids while he stay on focus his greatest character to make people laugh after he’s passed away then Tyler Perry becomes black drag Queen take his turn as Madea . After that u never know who come next Drag Queen
My words are very heavy kind
Rest In Peace ✌️my friend
you should seek medical attention if you have watched this that many times
it's better for your health than attention seeking is
If you haven't watched it at least 15 times, what are you doing here? I've been a Bazza fan for over 45 years; the man was a comedic genius.
I've seen it at least half a dozen times. Still cracks me up!
god i hope they both are laughing together in heaven xxx
This is the greatest talk show host moment in tv history. 14 minutes of pure Barry magic. Never get sick of watching this classic!!!!
agree!
To our Lord Jesus Christ , this is sin. Nothing more, nothing less. I bet you hate the bible. I know Barry does.
Nowadays this type of genius would be cancelled before even starting.
@@michaelhiggins1235 Genius? You're just like the rest of the world, you're yet in your sins as Paul says. You and Barry better repent before it's too late. That's a loving thing when you warn people of sin.
@@roncampo5923 oh just F off. Jesus was GAY
This interview is an absolute work of art by Dame Edna. You will forever live on in our ❤️’s.
This is by far the best Dame Edna interview ever!
She was in full flight!!! 😂😂😂
Standing ovation for Dame Edna. Never will we see the likes of her again.
'I'm a homeopath, mom and so is my roommate' 🤣🤣😅😅😅😂😂😂😂 Simply brilliant! R.I.P., Dame!! 😍😍😍
I've seen this 10 times already but never gets old
It's 16 minutes of absolute brilliance. No equal..
@@andrewwian4921 absolutely, never gets old it's statuesque
Same here. Classic stuff.
Just pure comedy. I love Dame Edna⭐
Me 2 an ser les
Thank you for decades of laughter Mr. Humphries! Rest in peace.
Dame Edna truly holds court in this hilarious interview. Judi and Sharon are hysterical and Michael lets it all happen naturally. One of the best episdes.
R I P to Two Legends
Never have I seen a comedian completely own an audience like Dame Edna. She has no peer and no equal. And no other male comedian worldwide has dared create their own Edna. You just can't replicate perfect.
hear hear..well said
Madea is another form.
Tannie Evita from South Africa is just as good if not better
Rubbish. Uys is well past his sell-by date.
who the fuck is that ...
This is pure magic from a comedy genius.
The wonderful style of comedy we just don't see, anymore. Pure class.
His wit was marvellous, so fast. The pauses, just genius. Rest in Peace, you wonderful person.
The word genius is bandied about too often , Barry Humphries is a true genius , so clever !
Indeed. 👍🏾
Fabulous! 👍🎬🎥💜
Ditto! I love his style of comedy. I have also lost count of how many times I watched this one... one heck of a classic good humor presentation!
It is amazing how Barry easily takes control of the stage and has the entire assembly hanging with baited breath on his every word - masterfully spinning out a story with double entendres, with his perfectly timed charm and sharp mind. There will never be another entertainer like him. RIP - and thank you for all the joy your gave us!! 👍
Well said
Well said @tim7052.Outstanding description of Barry
Pure genius. I sit here, tears of laughter streaming down my cheeks. Thank God for Barry Humphries!
He's fantastic
What I adore most about this interview is that Sharon and Judi are so in sync. They mirror each other's posture, both kick off their shoes and pull their legs up on the chair in the identical manner. It's just a lovely relaxed moment between them all. And Michael has enough common sense to just let Edna go and have run. Sheer brilliance.
My thoughts exactly! I love this interview clip, they all seem to be so wonderfully in the moment.
It’s Dame Edna at her Zenith!!
judi dench actually looks really uncomfortable, thats a front
@@jamiew1664 Don't be ridiculous. Look at her body language, the relaxed posture, the informal way she draws her feet up and kicks off her shoes... if she was uncomfortable, she'd be sitting upright, shoes on and a frozen smile on her face.
@@pepshaven6520 she’s mirroring Sharon because she’s nervous, and Sharon is more confident.
The perfect antidote to Covid. As a practicing Homeopath, I just want to say how blessed we are possums, to have Dame Edna as our cultural attaché to the world. There will never be another as brilliant as the Dame. Love from a devoted fan.
I wish he could read this. Beautifully said.
Clovid?? Covid.
@@johnfranklin5277 COVID really......;-)
Yes, says another practicing homeopath.
That was my favourite joke in the whole very funny interview.
Rest In Peace Dame Edna, you brightened all our lives with your hilarities, God bless you Barry Humphries, you will forever be in our hearts and memories.
Utter genius. The timing is perfect. I have watched this so many times I almost know it off by heart. And there has been no greater chat show host than Michael Parkinson. He let his guests shine.
This is more than just old school drag at its finest, which it IS. Humphries has perfect timing, delivery and the charisma to not only keep the audience wrapped around his finger, but the other guests and the host! And he never breaks character! A legend in every sense of word
I love the way he looks at Sharon and Dame Judi as if to playfully dare them to laugh.
He was hilarious and genius 😂r.i.p...barry
What a tour de force of personality and charisma.. incredible talent.
A masterclass in Australian drag comedy
Without doubt Barry Humphries is the funniest comedian for me EVER. He's quick, clever and never uses foul language. He's in total control.
He is a genius. Love him.
and reminds me just a bit of Carol Burent, in that he is soooo funny, there are times you can see he is struggling to not burst out laughing himself. Comic timing for sure.
@@jimquantic Yeah Burnett never said anything that wasnt scripted to the nth degree. She was no comedian. I wached Burnett for years, I even saw her in Pete and Tillie. She was rubbish. And butt ugly. Funny as haemmorroids
@@zapkvr I always tell people to try to stick to the objective, while of course we all have a right to a subjective opinion too. But in the objective--that which is a fact, Burnet was often NOT scripted in many cases--and SHE wrote the script. To the subjective, she was one of the funniest (to me and millions of others) though of course I can't "prove" that through objective means. She proved her worth to me and many others. Honestly--again, to me and many others, it is your opinion that is rubbish.
I rarely laugh at most comedians these days. But I was really laughing through this entire thing 😂. Dame Edna is the best! Thank you for posting this. ❤
RIP Sir Michael Parkinson and Dame Edna...the best combo ever!
Simply the best.
The skill of tearing into someone without being course and rude is a skill very few modern comedians have.
" ... and my special guest Michael Parkinson ..."
She just OWNS every stage she goes on!
Possibly my favourite bit. She is in total control from the moment she appears.
Oh man is there anyone more hilarious than Dame Edna. She is on another level. No one even comes close. Kudos to the wonderful Michael Parkinson for letting her do her thing. Very gracious indeed.
100%^^^
Barry Humphries is a genius - his performance here as Dame Edna is sublime and the interaction with Parky, Judi and Sharon is perfect. He knows how to 'read' his co-entertainers 'in the moment'. And to think that this interview was only 18 years ago - it would be banned today (as BH is today banned by certain institutions in Australia that bestowed him artistic awards, because he holds 'certain' views). That's how sad cancel culture has become. Comedy is the victim. This footage should be preserved for generations as to how boundaries can be pushed, clever humour is a rare commodity, and we should all be able to laugh at ourselves.
You mean, like it clearly has been preserved?
@@squishedpimp Yeah you wonder some times.
Im laughing at you right now you twat
Either we can make fun of everything or we can make fun of nothing at all - this cancel culture just serves the fragile ego of those with no sense of self deprecation or humour… this must be why there’s no decent comedy anymore 😢
@@scramblesish I see what you're saying but I'm also aware of disproportion in the rates of suicide when it comes to marginalised groups.
Lack of the lols not being what they used to was does not really come into those figures. Which is probably down to the woke bias of the office of national statistics here in the UK.
I was living in London when Barry married his second wife and one of the papers reported that Dane Edna would not be attending the nuptials. Imagine my delight to be on a bus and overhear a conversation between two ladies speculating as to the reason the Dame was not attending, Barry would have loved it!
Love this. Michael barely asks a question, it’s one long monologue - complete comedy masterclass
That's what I loved about Parky. He let people speak. Other chat show hosts are too narcissistic these days.
All of Michael's "questions" are pre-planned set ups for her material. He's playing the role of straight man very well.
Giving an Atlas to the Bushe's who were not being able to find 'Overseas' in it, is a masterpiece.
She almost went to Shepherd's Bush by mistake...
I've only watched this about 5 or 6 times. Not nearly often enough, as this is the funniest darned "interview" show I've ever seen in my life. What a great crew!!!
100% TRUE!!!!!
16 years on and I still return to this if I want to watch one of the finest pieces of sharp flawless comedic genius.
Dame Edna was always hilarious. She insults the hell out of people in such a comical way.
And a loving way lol 🤣
Dame Edna 'is', not 'was'.
@@2eleven48 :(
@@Roger__Wilco .....Please note, I wrote my comment two years ago. And to add: I was in the second row with a mate of my own at the first show of Edna's in a London theatre fifty years ago (yes, seriously). I dreaded, like anyone else, that she would pick me from the audience. My stomach ached from laughter at this performance of Humphries as a comic genius. Nothing has changed since then. I mourn his death. Robert, UK.
I’ve watched this too many times to remember and it never gets old.
On this very sad day for comedy, we salute one of the very finest.
Barry Humphries’ brilliant brand of comedy will leave a lasting legacy. 😢😂
I've watched this so many times and it's so brilliant. RIP Barry Humphries, Australia's greatest entertainer.
The world's greatest entertainer. Billy Crystal can suck it. Ive seen the both and Dame Edna is the greatest ever
@@zapkvr0101I have this looked a way and thanks Barry for all the enjoyment over the years, you were very special and I'll miss your character that is Dame Edna RIP
Great show, I live it.
She would've been the greatest Oscar's host of all time.
I can see that, she would have been hilarious although I think the show would have run for 5 hours instead of 3.
Definitely, I remember her at the Golden jubilee concert for Queen Elizabeth and she literally stole the show which had the greatest lineup of British music talent in history. The diamond jubilee was rubbish by comparison.
You do know "she" isn't really a "she" right ?
@@davidridyard3726 the character is a she.
Or prime minster
The delivery of the punch lines are absolutely amazing. The level of intelligence is out of this world..
Without a doubt, one of the best talk show appearances by anyone on any show…ever. We miss and love your Dame Edna/Barry…you will be sorely missed ❤
This is when it was just innuendo and unthreatening. One of the funniest characters EVER! R.I.P Mr. Humphries 🙏❤
This performance is so utterly brilliant I cannot imagine anything more perfect.
You can see Humphries needing to compose himself before the 'toyed with the priesthood' line so he doesn't crack up whilst delivering it. Such a brilliant, brilliant man.
He brilliantly waits for the audience to quiet down, so the punchline isn’t missed.
@@rodnorth1 YES, its all about the nerve of taking that pause, andk now when to release that tension, she is brilliant, and hilariously funny, its a true art :)
Simply the funniest laugh out loud performance Edna has ever done I think. Meticulous preparation and subtle but deadly timing… “ last time I was on Michael’s show - if you can call it a show….” 😂
Honey don't over analyze it. Just enjoy it.
Do you know how good this is?
I laughed from beginning to end.
Parkinson as always a great host.
They don't make like this anymore. More is the pity. We were so lucky.
This is possibly the very best of the best Dame Edna interviews - it's hilarious from start to finish.
Dame Edna at her Zenith
Agree, I can watch it over and over again and it's still funny 💯
Parky and Edna/Les/Barry were friends for decades and they knew how to have fun. Their interactions were legendary.
This 15ms would have to be one of the greatest live comic acts of all time. Just hilarious.
Barry Humphries. What a force of nature he was. Absolutely razor sharp, always in full control and works the audience like a charm. I hope you find your peace, dear Barry. You were an absolute dream. X
both now gone , such great talents
RIP parky..in heaven with the Dame now.
"He was an alter boy, as a matter of fact." (Pause) "He toyed with the priesthood!"
Brilliant timing! Brilliant joke!
I expected, the priesthood toyed with him!
Proof you can be hilarious without profanity. Thanks so much Barry.
David Gillett UK
I used to think nothing was funny without a fucking cunt or two. What an idiot I was. Thank you.
You can be filthier than the Edinburgh Fringe without profanity as this "interview" proves!
You can also be hilarious with profanity, as Peter Cook & Dudley Moore proved. czcams.com/video/jTifRi3qDk/video.html
in fact she hates profanity but sadly when dame edna spoke out about that, she was slammed for it...
Im approaching 60.. But approaching 60 from the wrong direction... 😁 😂. Its called whites good abuse.. 😁 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 I agree to bring a house down laughing with ouf beings vile racist crude.. Juat funny. Takes talent. French and saunders did the same
RIP Barry and Parkey two titans of entertainment they don’t make them like they used too.
This made me laugh so many times when I’ve felt down. Thank you Barry Humphries for making me laugh. So frightening to see so many greats leaving us. God Bless You.
The greatest character creation ever. Thank you Barry for all your years of fabulous entertainment.xxx
My gosh, so true! I watch these over and over.
Absolutely!
Not taking anything away from Dame Edna but I prefer Sir Les Patterson, each to their own.
So true - comedy genius!!!
I'll second that Nicholas...thank you Barry!
whose watching this in 2020 it still makes me laugh as much as I first watch it. Amazing dame Edna.
2021 still crying with laughter
Homeopath lol
No matter if it's Dame Edna or Bruce from Finding Nemo...comedy GOLDEN GREATNESS !!!!
Me !!!!
I watch this so often. It’s a masterpiece of performance by Dame Edna, and ably facilitated by all three others there 🌟
I like how Dame Edna thanked "HER" guests at the end of the show. Just proved how in controlled she was, and how at ease Parky was also.
Very few performers can come on and just hit the ground running like this, with a stream of brilliant dialogue. Robin Williams could do it. Billy Connolly could do it. As other people have said in the comments, Barry Humphries (her manager and mentor) is a genius who turned Dame Edna into what she became here. And let's pay tribute and give credit to Parky. Very few interviewers have the skill to feed the few minimal and essential questions to the guest, then stand back to let them do what they do so well. (And I've just realised that Barry Humphries was 70 at the time of this appearance.)
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face,,,
The best interviewer with the best guest. Superb.
Who would have thought we would lose both Michael Parkinson and Barry Humphries in the same year
I think Barry Humphries is one of the greatest comedic improvs of all time.
Very little improv involved here. It's all carefully planned, including the set ups from Parky. You can see her doing many of the same jokes on other chat shows.
Of all the hilarious clips of Dame Edna, this is the Parkinson interview I keep coming back to. I don't know...she's firing on all cylinders here, with the good-natured Parkinson, Dame Judi and (especially) Sharon Osborne as her willing foils. I think Edna's genius--on full display here--is her ability to seamlessly blend the cheerful Dotty Dowager with the knowing, razor-sharp social satirist. Brilliant!
Ffs. Watching this now knowing sadly Parky has gone too and absolutely dying of laughter. Literally crying. Both of them were and are absolute legends. RIP to you both.
RIP to both Dame Edna & Sir Michael Parkinson. This is one of his funniest interviews. Another classic was with the GOAT Muhammed Ali 😇
She had Dame Judy laughing like a schoolgirl and I love it lol 🤣
"A small tube of Calista....With applicator!" Just too good!
I cried actual tears of laughter!
This is 15 minutes of turbo charged comedy genius! Even the other distinguished guests are reduced to admiring spectators by this man’s performance. A true entertainer.
15 minutes non-stop. What a legend.
I watch this several times a week, and I laugh more and more each time. What a genius Barry Humphries is.
The whole gynochologist line was an absolute classic. The way he made the audience wait for the punch line was pure genius..
i want to say ,dame edna everage is a one off , there will never be anyone like her , so much stomach splitting laughter , the best ever .
What a journey and Ph.D on how to host television courtesy of Dame Edna. Pure class and pure comedy. Nobody had a chance.
Barry Humphries is the greatest comedic genius of our day. His timing is absolutely flawless!
Barry Humphries is most certainly a genius. Have seen dame edna for many years, but this was really brilliant. thanks youtubers and modern technology for making all this stuff available.
What a perfect mix of characters. My favourite interview of all time.❤ RIP Dame Edna, the manager Barry Humphries and Sir Les
Very sad day with the announcement of Sir Michael Parkinson's death, just weeks after that of Barry Humphries.
RIP to you both.
This is one of Dame Edna FUNNIEST interviews!!!
Yes in deed!
NO ! The best one is her on the joan rivers show, joan collins is on it to help you find it, please go see it, its sooooooooooooo funny!!
I've watched this a million times⭐😅
Got to be the funnist interview of all time in this universe and any other
Sharon Osbourne was having the time of her life!😁😁
5:40 "He toyed with the priesthood."🤣That was a good one. Dame Edna was an amazing character.
My favourite. RIP Barry Humphries, the laughter in the heavens must be deafening! 🙏
Barry and Michael had such a long-term friendship that translated on air; you can see how Michael is so content to let Barry dominate his stage for the whole time cause he knows it's in safe hands. You can see Barry almost break once right before the "toy with the priesthood" comment; that lower lip almost breaks rank. I've watched this at least 50 times and can't stop! So damn good!!!
No words can give sufficient praise to this comedy genius. There will never be another Dame Edna!
This is a combination of the greatest chat show host ever and the greatest chat show guest ever.
Parky always did his homework meticulously but never had a script. He has interviewed all the greats of cinema, sport and entertainment for all his adult life and his technique is always 'the life and times of' his guests not the promotion of the latest film/book/tour etc.. Something which Woody Allen didn't take too kindly to. His lawyers tried but failed to prevent the broadcast of their interview ("The public perception is that you married your own daughter").
As has been said, Barry Humphries as Dame Edna was a comic genius - always outrageous but in a believable way, incredibly quick-witted, with an absolutely huge backstory and with exceptional comic timing and pace. There are two moments in this masterclass where Dame Edna almost corpses and has to pause, and they are before delivering the "He toyed with the priesthood" line because the audience were already in hysterics before he got there and after her gynaecologist, "Looked up this morning and he said to me" for the same reason. She starts her appearance by kissing Laurie Holloway (who's band also played on Dame Edna's shows) and saying that this was 'her' studio (from the Dame Edna Show/Experience - where top guests lined up week after week to be insulted) and ends by thanking "My special guest - Michael Parkinson!" - a full comic circle.
Dame Judy and Sharon Osbourne represent us, the viewers in this, in being in frequent fits of uncontrollable laughter. Sharon puts up a fight at times but is then put down each time even more. "Two dames and a commoner. And there is no one commoner than you Sharon".
We have lost a genius. Thank heavens for CZcams.
My God I'm in tears 🤣
Absolute master and genius.
Gone but not forgotten. RIP
Even after all these years, phenomenal, absolutely fantastic and entertaining! Can’t believe the almost 500 thumbs down, they have no sense of humor at all!
What great sports were Judi and Sharon, how expertly and generously they rolled with Edan"s numerous well-aimed punches...funny, funny, funny...
eoselan7 track down a clip where Joan Rivers is the host & George Hamilton & Joan Collins are the other guests. They’re so different. Joan Rivers was in hysterics, the other 2 not so much although George seemed to « get it » towards the end.
@@michelegraham9044 - Thanks...I found it and enjoyed it greatly just as you said I would...
Rest in peace Dame Edna. You will be dearly missed. Your memory will forever live on.
A Master, the likes we’ll never see again
