- I know who Les Paterson is from playing Dame Edna Everage but I had never seen any of Les. A little outdated but still funny!

Sir Les is definitely a character that inhabited the RSL Social Clubs of Australia in the 1960's and the '70's. Barry Humphries has the best insight into the Australian character than anyone out there.
I have tears running down my face and can hardly breathe for laughing. I've grown up with this character and his shock value never fails.
Barry Humphreys is a comedy genius. I remember watching this Parkinson Show and I couldn't stop laughing for hours after. The wooden horse boring, Dog Present story, and Martine's reaction is priceless. Love it 🤣🤣🤣
You get the full Les Patterson experience when he’s wearing a pale coloured dirty suit and he spits and dribbles all down the front when he’s talking.
The real Barry Humphries is very well spoken
The Adventures of Barry McKenzie should be a must watch for you.
I reckon that it was genius, that he deliberately chose to create a character that is a throw-back to an earlier time that had different mores; a dissipated old, crude, humourous Australian gentleman. It is Sir Les Patterson that can offend, not Barry Humphries! 😄
Yea I agree. Because you know it's the character making the jokes, it's ok to laugh. Not sure if Martine Mccutchine was laughing or cringing though 🤣
@@RobReacts1 😄 Great observation too, about your elderly uncle or grandfather, - that is exactly so, he evokes those elder gentlemen with this character!
@@gabrielplattes6253 yea for sure. My Grandad who passed away a few years ago
@@RobReacts1 Dame Edna, Parkinson, 2004 mate! Do please note it on your list of possibles! ✌
As a subtle contrast to Sir Les.
In a Melbourne theatre before a Barry Humphries performance, a blind piano-tuner, in a long coat and black spectacles was just finishing. He reached for his cane and started to leave the stage. But he was walking so perilously close to the edge that people in the front row were leaping up to forestall him. The man then jauntily waved his cane and strode off strongly.
We suddenly knew we'd seen the overture to his show. Marvellous.
That sounds like a reworking of one of his college shows - he was hidden behind the upright piano and kept playing the same notes for an inordinately long time, until the audience started to boo and shout. Then he got up, revealing that he was (supposedly) blind, to the sudden shocked, shamed silence of the house.
They apparently sent out a lynch mob 'GET HUMPHRIES!' afterwards.
In either of those versions, you have to admit, it takes some balls.....
Hope Rob doesn't think that that was another 'Dad joke'.
I saw Barry Humphris twice during the late 1970’s and Les Patterson was the first act. He would spray his spitall all over the first couple of rows.
You have to know Humphreys is one of the greatest comics to ever live. To pick holes in him, is to declare ones own limitations.
His Mike Willisee interview is a classic.
Milke Willisee and the Sky Hooks is good too and who can forget Mike Willisee drunk.
Poor Jackie Weaver could not keep her eyes of it😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yes good idea to look that one up talk about Joan Collins

@@anthonypirera7598 I’ve seen that one countless times and still crack up every time.
Anything funny these days is needed.
There is still a couple of Ozzie comedians out there,as there is in England.
Sad day though as we lost Sean Lock.
Crap, I just found out. Truly a sad day :(
Barry Humphries has been an actor since the 60’s try and find “ The Mavis Bramston Show black and white screening . Very early dame Edna
I've seen him live a few times and he is the funniest person to see live so if you get the chance he is a must see
Sir Les Patterson, Cultural Attache and Minister For Yarts; what a fine specimen of the Australian male!What Maureen noticed would have been the snake balloon under his trousers that went almost to Les's knee.
He strapped on something that made him look well endowed, wore the fat suit and baggy trousers and sat with legs spread. He could also make it move, especially when joking about his "pianist".
Sir Les...is the epitome of Aussie humour. 👍 Parky has had Sir Les on many times and always cracks up laughing at his antics. PS Barry Humpgries is now well into his 80s.
Rob, it’s Dr Sir Les Patterson..... absolute legend. Barry Humphries is a Melbourne lad..... great commedian completely different out of character..... Tscheuss aus Australien
as part of his costume he wears a very large and long 'appendage', which is what martine reacted to.
Its a spoof of bad humour from the rough Aussie culture of the 50's....many don't get the depth of this humour it is truely brilliant
Jeff Dunham uses the wife jokes with Walter.
Barry Humphrys …aka Les Pattison aka Dame Edna
The guys a legend but also sooo dirty and really outdated for now
Yea a bit of a creepy old pervert character
He's a throwback to 1970s politicians - disturbingly real!! ugh!
Clarke and Dawes for contrast...
I’m going to like this before watching. G’old Sir Les…👍
Spot-on Robo, you wouldn't hear see or hear this on the tele these days. Great to see that you're enjoying this clip. No need to apologise for its content.
We definitely don't need Rob's interventions or explanations
Three days ago, I picked up a rare book that once formed part of his library - lovely coincidence that Rob posts a vid on the legend! Dame Edna, killer!
Sir Les is an icon. Cultural attache to the Court of St James. Usually has a big vindaloo stain on his tie. You don't want to sit in the first three rows or you might be sprayed with spittle.
Tom looks stunned , in many of the clubs Tom has worked in i am sure he has met many "Les Pattersons"
Not the best clip but Sir Les is a classic. And yes he had a big gentleman's sausage down the left leg that he'd constantly scratch\adjust\fiddle with. :-) Not a chance you'd see this nowadays. 'Cultural Attache to the Court of St. James'.
I clearly remember that episode and im PMSL again. Cheers for the memory MATE.
😄😃🤣😂😀👍🤓
Its out of date (even then) but that was the character's intent. An opportunity to laugh at an incredibly out of touch and out of time bloke that ironically barely had a nasty bone is his ugly old body. Something we'll not see again for a long time with the current wave of victim-politics desperately searching for offense in everything, real or imagined.
One day you'll realise its outrage politics not victim politics that will always be the 'current wave' .
@@docgonzales I think you are probably right. "How dare Rob wear a name brand t-shirt, they are made in China. Do you know the human right abuses that are occuring in China right now?"
He's just naughty, and not many can do this. The art of getting away with it.
Barry Humphries and crew were invited to Australia House in London in the late 1960s. Apparently, Humphries watched the Australian official serving drinks to everyone like a hawk. Soon after, the Les Patterson character emerged.
Classic Aussie humour
Barry Humphris also a decent painter
Sir Les & Dame Enda are just 2 of Barry Jones characters
Ahahhh, the tablet changed it to Jones it is Barry Humphries. Modern technology drives me balmy when it changes text to suit itself
Sir Les is the epitome of uncouth - but at least he isn't spitting while he talks and dribbling wine down his tux in this one.
He had some radio DJs in hysterics one day... "So Sir Les... have you been busy?" "Yes, certainly... I've been on the blower all day... and on the telephone."
He's still putrid, none the less.
He has another character Sandy Stone. A cross between the two kinda. Stories around the fire.
You would hear it in Australia. Though we never get to see Barry Humphries much anymore. Awwww love gospel.
Sir Les kicks ass 😂
Hi Rob enjoy your channel especially your afl stuff. Sir Les Patterson takes the piss out of Australia politicians.
Genius Australian humour
Sir Les is supposed to be the cultural attache for Australia. He was invented during the '70s when the Labour Party in Australia at the time pumped a huge injection of funding into Australian Arts and Culture. He was always meant to be satire. By this stage he has cleaned up a bit, he used to be really gross, with stains down the shirt, and constantly dribbling with a glass of beer in his hand all the time.
Watch Dame Edna with Dame Judi Dench and Sharon Osbourne - comedy gold
As Part of Sir Les' uniform is a HUGE sausage on the inside of his trousers. That's what Martine saw.
Barry Humphries, Dame Edna Everidge, Dr Sir Les Patterson. The Aussie split personality
It's 23/023 and with a heavy heart can tell you Barry Humphries passed away last night aged 89
Bit short, that….
Barry Humphries’ character Sir Les Paterson is meant to be an Australian politician/ diplomat. He sends up the lesser qualities of our reps in Canberra. This early interview with Parky will give you all the background as to what Sir Les is all about. Possibly his first appearance.

Real legend.
RIP our dame Edna. Australia;s illustrious son. a genius of the English language.
Barry Humphries is a true Australia beautiful and wonderful character actor and comedian, He is our gift we give to you elsewhere in the world whether you want him or not! He is an actor! he is funny and so very talented, a national Icon! you should also check out another wonderful character in Norman Gunston, and if you have time Ruth Cracknell, Garry McDonald in Mother and Son. unfortunately we lost Ruth Cracknell a few years ago but just their banter and chemistry make me laugh out loud. I think I am going to rewatch now and Im sure it still holds up even after all these years! for a little country we do have some amazing talent in the entertainment industry. xx
This is real comedy
"Outdated" is the entire point of Sir Les!
When Barry Humphries went to the USA, he/his character(s) each appeared for three consecutive nights on the Johnny Carson (?) show and they didn't realise it was the same actor each night
Neither Sir Les nor Dame Edna 'tell jokes'. They are characters created by Barry Humphries.
Yep, everyone here had an Uncle like Sir Les.
Rob👍Barry Humphries could be hilarious or a bit same old stuff for me,the most entertaining part in this was the anxious state of Martine Mcutcheon sat between Tom Jones and some old weirdo 😂😂 Alistair McGowan looked like he was going to fall asleep. Cheers mate ✌️🍻
Barry Humphries, created a few characters Les Paterson, and Dame Edna Everidge..
Sir Les reminds me of the genre as in the movie Barry McKenzie goes to England.
you do know Les is another Barry Humphrey character
Yep. Dame Edna
Sir Les Patterson is a drunk !!
Not outdated. Should be what comedy is all about
I do miss this humour.
Another great Aussie comedy show was the Graham Kennedy Show, some funny stuff on there, worth the watch.
Rubbery Figures is worth a view , its got the Packers , Murdoch , Australian politicans and other business men .
Pigs Arse 😂😂
Sir les is a legend
Sir Les is a character as well as Dame Edna. Barry Humphries is the performer. Sir Les is like the dirty Uncle.
Regarding the Gwen stuff, the joke is that Les thinks it's fine to talk about his wife like this, when it isn't. To laugh along with his sentiments uncomplicatedly is to stick your foot in a snare that Barry Humphries has set. In this regard, Sir Les is a forerunner of Ali G.
Sir Les always worked on the outrageous. Outspoken and blatantly grotesque many times. One Parkinson episode where he appeared with food stains all over his shirt and was funny as ever. Just like Dame Edna, it's just another character. Damn shame if this material couldn't be produced any more due to it's deemed sexism. World has gone wowser woke with sensitivities. As you can see here, she just thought it was all a laugh (maybe an embarrassing 1 but she wasn't offended). That's all it is. Good fun. Nothing to be taken seriously. All tongue in cheek stuff. It's all done to good effect. To get attention.
Unfortunately, the world has changed a lot in 30 years. People take so many things so seriously now.
This is just light hearted humour. It's not meant to mean harm or be derogatory.
With the amount of havoc around the world today, we need more Les Pattersons to make life a lot lighter with laughter.
So many people just need to get over being so precious.
Here's the clip mentioned above. It's 17 minutes so not 1 for a reaction clip.
czcams.com/video/UkrbfkTHCn8/video.html
Back to 80's with some unacceptable material now and some corny jokes but funny all the same. Continually flirting with Jackie Weaver who was a well loved actress and is married to Derryn Hinch who was featured in the Logies clip.
Barry Jones was a knowledge wiz. He was the leading contestant in a show called Pick A Box in about 1970 I think. (Before my time).
Was so knowledgeable he would question the host on certain aspects of questions and often their answer was incorrect. Utter genius.
He had just become a sitting member of a safe ALP (Labor) seat in the ACT here.
" Are You With Me "
Sir Barry Humphries...a legend. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Humphries
I know you don’t do cricket but I want to see your reaction to the infamous underarm lmao
It is meant to be outdated. Over the top & taking the micky out of our poor quality politicians
Sir Les is a brutal caricature of everything that is crass & undesirable in Australian society. That’s why most of us here in Aust loved him.
Barry Humphries was keenly aware of that.
The world of comedy is a poorer place with the loss of Barry Humphries , Sir Les for me was the funniest of his characters ..RIP Barry ..😢
Funny man
I love a long joke....... but I only seem to be able to remember the ones I know somewhere around the second half of the bottle.... which is about where I leant them in the first place, back in the 80's and 90's when my liver was still donatable.
A blind man walks into a bar, and then a table, followed by a chair.
This is very tame for Sir Les. Watch the Willisee interview for one of his best or the Parkinson in Oz interview with Jackie Weaver. He's a satire of a certain type of Australian politician. The closest these days is Barnaby Joyce or Clive Palmer.
I have only met Barry Humphries once, and I hadn't realised how BIG the man is. I'm 6'4", and I was thinking, "wow...he's a big bloke". All I can say is that Dame Edna must be FRIGHTENING up close.
You are not doing Sir Les justice with that clip - type in this one, you will be crying watching it: Sir Les Patterson (Barry Humphries) 1982. Pt. 1.
Even back in the 70's and 80's Sir Les was inappropriate, like Jimmy Carr today. Making the jokes about the taboo, or in this case being the taboo.
Dame Edna could be just as inappropriate but obviously a far less grotesque caricature.
Look at the Straight Face on Tom, to begin with. Doesn't know where to be!
Trumpy feeling 😂
Aka dame edna everidge aka barry humphreys
Very sad to hear about Sean Lock. Loved him on 8/10 Cats Countdown and 15 Stories
Yes dreadful news. A funny funny dry comedian!
Hey Rob. You should review the Godfather of British slapstick comedy. And that would be Benny Hill.
There is actually a Benny Hill plaque in Eastleigh where I live!
Barry Humphries and Ken Dodd. Forget the rest.
This is funny, but the one in which he almost sends Parkinson into hospital from busting a gut laughing is even funnier. It was 10 years before this one, and Sir Les was able to be a bit more politically incorrect.
CZcams: Sir Les Patterson (Barry Humphries) 1982. Pt. 1.
Maybe you should have a look at Fred Dagg, the quintessential New Zealand all around ‘every bloke’ (that you come across in NZ) a sheep farmer who has theories and ideas about solving man’s common problems using bits of fencing wire and parts off of a Massey Ferguson tractor. He has a uniquely New Zealand humour with his problem solving in a similar vein to (the later incarnate) Russell Coight.
Wow, did you notice how he completely ignored Tom Jones...!
And absolutely nailed Tom a couple of times...
Appears to be some history there.!
You need to have a look at Rodney Rude talking about McDonalds. Ribald Aussie comedian.
Sir Les was basically taking the piss out of the older generation and especially the political class 🍺😎🦘
Barry Humphries
His other appearance on Parkinson is funnier . Our Cultural Attache. bless him.
The funniest, quick thinking comedian I've ever seen. Unfortunately thanks to political correctness, wokeness, and the banning of non-political humour we won't see much of Sir Les or Dame Edna these days. The Lefties have destroyed genuine humour.
The fact that Sir Les is un-PC and out of date is the whole point of the character. He once asked the host of an Australian current affairs show what was it that women put behind their ears to "attract the menfolk". The Answer? Their ankles.
Not surprisingly the host cracked up.
Well at least he wasn't spitting this time when he talked.
Tom Jones and the other guy couldnt crack a smile , the women at least had a sence of humour .
I'm surprised you're not doing a Sean lock video.
Thats a good idea. I shall try do one for tomorrow! I actually saw him live about 10 years ago. Very funny with his dry humour. He ended his show by taking his clothes off and standing in a green morph suit with a question mark on like the riddler :D
