He played as Albert Riddle the one-armed washer upper in robins Nest, two armed O'Reilly in Fawlty Towers, and made a commercial for a washing-up liquid called Three Hands! Avery handy man, sadly missed.
O’Reilly,Mrs Richards,the major,Ken Campbell in the anniversary,Bernard Cribbins ‘spoooooooons’,just some of the great actors who appeared.The funniest tv show ever by a mile.
I couldn't imagine any else portraying o'reilly than wilfred brambell of steptoe and son but david kelly did it with such ease and pomp and man who can forget the "smile",Rip mate you are sorely missed in this world,cheers
"Oh don't smile!" while covering his face and turning away, it's tiny, it's barely a moment in the scene and is immediately eclipsed by Sybil beating the ever living hell out of O'Reily but damn does it set it up perfectly. It'a so well timed it's insane.
"If you're not over here in twenty minutes with my door I shall come over there and insert a large garden gnome in you, good day." The best part is the end when he is angrily marching away from the hotel carrying a gnome. Cybil: Where are you going Basil Basil: I am going to have a talk with O'riley dear.
I was just about to comment ‘and then Grandpa Joe went to bed for 30 years until the prospect of free chocolate got him out again’ , you beat me to it mate! He was a huge star here in Ireland and a very familiar and comforting face on our tv.
"To be paerfectly honest, I like a woman with spirit!" "Oh, do you, is that what you like?" "I do, I do!" "Oh, good! Come on then, give us a smile...!"
The genius of the lamp 😂 David Kelly used to play a character called Sylvie in an Irish soap called 'Glenroe' - a right dodgy fucker who sold knock-off burglar alarms...hilarious 😂
The best part was cut out...goes something like this - Sybil: you hired him because he is cheap Basil: I wouldn't call him cheap Sybil: then what would you call him? Basil: well...cheap-ish
O'reilly: If the good lord wanted us to worry, he would've given us things to worry about. Basil: He has. My wife! She'll be back in 4 hours and can kill a man at 10 paces. Me: I feel you. I survived the army, but the thing I fear most is the person who sleeps next to me when she's mad.
When it's female on male violence - yes, it is. Any male who can't take a bit of (justified) violence from a woman doesn't deserve to describe himself as a man.
wONDURFUL...I'm Irish...don't mind a joke on us at all at all. But I like to see everyone get it. Blacks, jews Irish, English, welsh, Scots, Americans (yes please) Germas, Gays...everyone. People are such feckin drama queens these days. PC me bollix
Considering that almost every major civil engineering firm in the UK and Ireland is Irish owned and staffed - top to bottom - I would have thought this scenario especially unlikely. Rather like hiring an Italian chef, only to discover he's unable to make a single pasta dish, surely? This would be far better if it were remotely plausible.
considering this is 30+ years old and the stereotype of Irish biulders at the time I'd say this is plausible, so get of your millennial high horse and enjoy good old comedy
emrys At 58, I'm hardly a millennial. And this was never a stereotype of Irish builders that I'm aware of. If such were the case, the UK would have no motorways, and not an awful lot in the way of housing. Irish (and indeed Scottish and Geordie) builders of that generation were certainly known as hard drinkers and even harder workers, but not, I think, as a group necessarily suffering some form of collective brain damage. That was the work of Mr. Cleese and his singular political views. What else could you expect from a guy born Cheese who changed one letter of his surname by deed-poll? What a waste. He could have been John Cleeso.
Now David Kelly is close to the good Lord, I wonder how he would feel about you calling him British. Oh and all the Germans in The Germans really were German.
Yes, but it's also true. I say this and I'm from Ireland. Most Irish people do have a lazy attitude compared to English people. Better for us to acknowledge this fact and try to improve ourselves as a nation than to shout "Xenophobia!" or "Racism!"
@@gaelicreaction1049 yeh I’m Belfast and I could not care one bit. Sure people from the south and GB have a laugh at the northern accent and think we’re mad (with flegs etc.) and I couldn’t care one bit.
Love the way O'Reilly slipped into the bar and managed to pour himself a free Guinness while Basil was arguing with Sybill.
Brilliant!
all irishmen love there drink in fact some love it a bit to much........................ best scence in the show david kelly great actor rip
At before 9am as well - there's an Irishman for ya! 😂
Wonderful detail
@@eamonnquigley2125 He was in "Waking Ned Devine" wasn't he? Loved that movie, absolutely brilliant
David Kelly what a wonderful Irish actor
He played as Albert Riddle the one-armed washer upper in robins Nest, two armed O'Reilly in Fawlty Towers, and made a commercial for a washing-up liquid called Three Hands! Avery handy man, sadly missed.
"If the Good Lord.."
".. is mentioned once more, I shall move you closer to him." 😂 Too funny!
Best line of the series in my humble opinion
Absolutely classic comedy!!
I will never ever get tired of watching this show it is the best show in the world ever
O’Reilly,Mrs Richards,the major,Ken Campbell in the anniversary,Bernard Cribbins ‘spoooooooons’,just some of the great actors who appeared.The funniest tv show ever by a mile.
“If you are not here in 20 minutes with my door I will come over there and insert a large garden gnome in you. Good day” Favourite line from Basil
“BASIL”
The way Cleese freezes in terror at Sybil’s fury is acting genius.
David Kelly was superb in Fawlty towers!
"Not Brilliant ? he belongs in a zoo" love it and I am Irish.
Me too!
@@mariontaylor3903 and me
I'm guessing you are from Dublin
Me too, and it is comedy genius!!
I couldn't imagine any else portraying o'reilly than wilfred brambell of steptoe and son but david kelly did it with such ease and pomp and man who can forget the "smile",Rip mate you are sorely missed in this world,cheers
Agreed
"Oh don't smile!" while covering his face and turning away, it's tiny, it's barely a moment in the scene and is immediately eclipsed by Sybil beating the ever living hell out of O'Reily but damn does it set it up perfectly. It'a so well timed it's insane.
"You think I am joking...don't you?"
"Oh don't smile"
"Why are you smiling Mr O Reilly??
I love when John says oh don't smile
RIP David Kelly - also seen as Grandpa Joe in *_Charlie and the Chocolate Factory_*
*door slams* "Basil!" is beautifully edited together... thankyou. x
"If you're not over here in twenty minutes with my door I shall come over there and insert a large garden gnome in you, good day."
The best part is the end when he is angrily marching away from the hotel carrying a gnome.
Cybil: Where are you going Basil
Basil: I am going to have a talk with O'riley dear.
Desert Foxchild then I think I’ll go to Canada
"You've heard of the genius of the lamp"
The ending sequence when he's walking with the gnome with purpose 😂😂😂
Well, Basil did warn O'Reilly what he'd do with that gnome.
and carrying that gnome like a police battering ram. I laughed off my couch 😂
"If the good lord." "Is mentioned once more I shall move you closer to him."
"... I'm telling you, if the good Lord..."
"Is mentioned once more, I shall move you closer to him" 😂
For the kids who grew up with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, if you ever wondered how Grandpa Joe looked like in his 40s, this is your answer.
I was just about to comment ‘and then Grandpa Joe went to bed for 30 years until the prospect of free chocolate got him out again’ , you beat me to it mate! He was a huge star here in Ireland and a very familiar and comforting face on our tv.
Wow!! I never knew it was the same actor
"To be paerfectly honest, I like a woman with spirit!"
"Oh, do you, is that what you like?"
"I do, I do!"
"Oh, good! Come on then, give us a smile...!"
Love how right at the end, he leaves the hotel with the gnome HAHAHA
The genius of the lamp 😂
David Kelly used to play a character called Sylvie in an Irish soap called 'Glenroe' - a right dodgy fucker who sold knock-off burglar alarms...hilarious 😂
I remember Sylvie as well; he was married to Teasy McDaid, and she was Dinny's love interest
I was not a huge fan of Fawlty Towers myself, but I love this episode and The Germans one.
ur crazy. lol
The best part was cut out...goes something like this -
Sybil: you hired him because he is cheap
Basil: I wouldn't call him cheap
Sybil: then what would you call him?
Basil: well...cheap-ish
Awe, "If the Good Lord" had granted more episodes than 12 eh 😍
One of my favourite with O’Reilly 😂
Haha, I actually forgot how much of ass kicker Cybil was,
v11cu96 to two JACKASSES
Υπέροχο!!! Το παρακολουθούσα όταν ήμουν παιδί
Moral of this story: “Never Piss Off Sibel Fawlty”
and never hire a paddy
O'reilly: i telling if the good lord...
Basil: If you mention him one more then i will send you close to him.
Funniest line in the whole series
Brilliant, isn't it.
Bullshit.
That would be the poland line
Scarlett Begonias
Grateful Dead
I love the edit you did with Sybil!
My fave scene!!
I'm going to see Mr O'Reilly dear!
Then I think I'll go to Canada!
I admire a woman with spirit…
David i miss our little chats !
The empty tea cup 😂
"Oh don't smile" LOLLLLL
David Kelly, brilliant in Waking Ned Devine.
Just too funny.😀😃😁😅🤣
Prunella Scales was a very pretty woman.
Look up her roles in older movies---she was a fox.
37Dionysos yes I have seen her in Hobsons Choice and she was a total doll.
lewisner lol i agree...that look she gave when she said " why are you smiling" 😉
@@lewisner that's a great film - stellar performancès, especially Brenda de Banzie.
@@ritawing1064 Yes it was from a different age. John Mills , Charles Laughton, Prunella - they were a cut above really.
Pure genius comedy
She gave them a damn good thrashing
O'reilly: If the good lord wanted us to worry, he would've given us things to worry about.
Basil: He has. My wife! She'll be back in 4 hours and can kill a man at 10 paces.
Me: I feel you. I survived the army, but the thing I fear most is the person who sleeps next to me when she's mad.
Comic gem 💎
Hey it’s Grandpa Joe
The following video contains scenes that some viewers may find upsetting. Lol!
Sybil was quite violent....
oh I know
robin,s nest brought me here !
Is he Mrs Doyle,s Father?
Haha, Sybil, yes she is. I hope you weren't taking notes. ;)
Daivid kkelly classy
1:52 makes me laugh every time!
That’s why his VAN’S outside!!!
Aw don't smile 🤣
1:32 Hahahah
You cut the best part out when santa music were playing and she entered the lobby.
This Irish actor was in that Ned Devine movie..
@Paul Noonan Thanks for the info!
he's the spitting image of the fashion designer paul smith
That looked like that would hurt!
i suppose you didn't laugh at Punch an Judy at the seaside either?
Never saw Punch and Judy. I'm guessing that's an English thing.
@@judyvalencia3257 I LOVE Punch and Judy!!!!
Oh don’t smile. 😅😅😅
It’s Wobbly Ron From Cowboys, Everybody!
🎵 Don’t Trust The Cowboys 🎵.
Arhhhhh mr o'reilly hows things your end?
Good .......good......arh good. Now how would you like to hear about things at my end?
Was David Kelly in Robin's Nest or am I imagining it?
Now we know how he lost his left arm
O'Reilly was portrayed by the same actor as Michael Sullivan from Waking Ned Devine.
oh dont smile lol
Polly was soooooo hot
John was a lucky bastard being married to Connie at the time.
hahahahha. that woman is intense
Laura G she is tense and intense
Laura G her trousers are intense 😄
Hilarious
I think O'Reilly should be called O'Leary
Oriley men 💪💪💚💚😂😂😂
Me=Bazil😬
My Wife=Cybil 👹
Marry me Sybil! Since Basil doesn't appreciate what a smart strong woman you are.
Every town has its oreilys ! Dodgy tradesmen !
Irish accent so funny
😂🤣😂
It should have been s golf club instead of an umbrella 😄
Is David Kelly any way connected to the late Sam Kelly...?
Well I thort I mite.
O'Reilly sells car parts now.
Or runs a budget airline
That,s what you call a good woman
Look a O Reilly's hair😂
He looks deranged
Genius writing and top tv better than the does the bbc churn out now
BBC frightened of putting anything out in fear of woke culture
Destiny got destroyed in this debate
Manuell. asking the builders are you are really men ...but he meant are you O Reilly men workers ...so funny.

Exactly!!👍🏽

Apparently, those whacks with the brolly were as hard as they looked.
steve doubleu the brolly was padded, you can see by the thickness. Otherwise it would have hurt.
No he has actually said that they hurt every time they connected with him
Which is why Pru asked for them to be stuffed with more newspapers ....

What a stupid comment.
