"They found me a better seat" I literally laughed out loud.
Same. Also gets funnier the more you think about it.
That was so funny
So very funny, didn't know what was coming, and laughed with tears streaming down my face, I still do.
me too and i loved the preface: "I'm sorry", since they royals would miss her company
I am also laughing at the simplicity of it. The Kings face was a picture and great Fun had by all. I have sent this clip to all my friends and family as I know it will put a smile on their faces.
Dame Edna humanised the Royals, she was their best PR rep! Comedy character legend 💜
So funny, will miss what a charictor that he was.
@言行一致 Yeah, just keep repeating yourself, you troll.
That is so lovely that King Charles was in contact with Barry before he died. ❤
Is it ? He was also in close contact with his friend Jimmy Saville.
King Charles died a long time ago.

@@thomasdonau5140 The present King Charles! Have you been living under a rock?? He’s in this picture!! 😳

Barry had that rare and wonderful ability to be wickedly irreverant without ever being disrespectful or mean-spirited. Its doubtful there will ever be another like him.
Your so right. A one in a million marvel of genius
Had you seen him live?. Memorable.
Well said!!
I was about to post the same thing, but you did it for me. He knew how to mock without offending; a rare talent. He had the comedy brains to mock people he liked, and so they knew it wasn't personal.
I agree.
He knew how to needle people without insulting.
The age of campy wit has passed.
Rip Barry. I got to see Dame Edna live once. Was very very happy. And sore from laughing so hard. You brought so much joy to us possums. You have gone to make heaven a cheerier place and you mean that in the best possible way. God could use a good ribbing.
That is EXACTLY correct. I saw Dame Edna live in Chicago once and my rib cage and lungs were actually sore from laughing so hard! NOBODY could make me laugh like Barry. SUCH A LOSS!! What a gifted comic genius! Very sad when I heard this news.
I love that Dame Edna was so supportive of the Royal family.
The truth is, the world is a sadder place without him.
He was that great.
I never saw Dame Edna live, but! I think of all the iconic moments I always recall was the "They found me a better seat!". It showed a totally relatable and more humorous side to Charles and Camilla to enjoy spur of the moment unexpected humour, not unlike that we witness with HM QE2 when she did the Paddington Bear clip. I always related to Barry Humpries "Dame Edna" clips far more than any of his other characters. A huge talent lost, RIP!.
The sweet Queen pulling a sandwich out of the royal handbag.....
RIP, dear possum... you made our lives quite lively!
How can anyone not adore Dame Edna? 😂
His shows were a dime in a dozen. Miss his late humour
I don't .

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
@@davidbrown2098Huh? I don’t think you know what that phrase actually means.
Barry Humphries has fans all over the Globe. He is a big loss, but like many other geniuses, his legacy will go on for ever.
They’ve found me a better seat , Charles loved that.
That the King spoke to BH while he was in hospital tells you everything about the Kings character!
Rest with God Berry!!
It also tells you about Barry's.
Years ago KC favourite comedy was The Goons with Spike Milligan
Your king was best mates with Jimmy Saville. That tells you about the 'kings' character alright.
@@dessy76 Everyone was friends with Saville. That tells everything about HIS character
@@dessy76 nobody knew what an animal Saville was back then! Keep your uneducated hindsight comments to yourself!
What a legend, he will be missed by many, rest in peace Barry
In the late 1970s I was living in Hong Kong. Dame Edna opened a Christmas fete and her beady eyes spotted me holding a rather peculiar pair of ornaments I had bought. "Oh Possum" she trilled " For me? How kind of you, just what I need for Madge's Christmas present......she has no taste either" . After that I rather lost track of the one sided conversation because I was almost helpless with laughter. Wonderful man , he will be sorely missed.🏴🇬🇧
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...
Barry Humphries was a master of his craft. He will be truly missed.
Loved him as Dame Edna. Esp to see her make the King and Camilla laugh in the balcony! A true modern court jester!
'they've found me a better seat', genius.
Rest in Peace Mr. Barry Humphries. Thank you for bringing joy to the world through Dame Edna!
Miss him already. I have been catching up with bits I missed. ❤️
One thing about Charles, he has a nice sense of humor
didn't think you could n
ame two
@Kermit Idiothunter don't you have some live, laugh, love needlework to attend to?
He must have, look at what he chose to wed after he got divorced!
@@EarlJohn61I’m sorry you have such a sad life that you’re so jealous of a man and his soulmate getting married to each other and being happy together. After their horrendous previous marriages they deserve to be happy. Maybe one day you’ll find someone to make you a better person.
"They've found me a better seat" 😂😂😂 They have, Sir Barry, they have. RIP
That's a lovely comment 👏👏
your comment made me smile. TY from the States :)
Well said
Amen to that !
Barry would give this a comment a Bravo.
What a Legend!! RIP Barry.❤
Definitely ,loved her shows on TV interviewing celebs of the day,amazing man!!
His shows and lack of manorism made a mucour of everyone else.
Hard to replace. True fast and witty humour.
Will be missed by people with Witt and humour, and of course his family. ☹️
@@davidbrown2098Huh?
A genius by any measure. Saw the great man a few times and remember every wonderful moment. Utterly irreplaceable!
Gladidola.

I met Barry Humphries last April, after his stage show. He was kind & a joy. I was lucky then & even luckier now.
Fond memories of "Dame Edna's Bristol show" Many years ago, Mum & my late darling Dad. Were picked to go up on stage with Dame. Did a sketch & had me & all the audience in tears of laughter.
Fantastic memories⭐️
Rip Barry/ Les/ Dame Edna......❤

Loved Dame Edna, one drag queen I would quite happily refer to as she. One of the best comedians ever.
If I could have an evenings pleasure of being in the company of a triumvirate of great raconteurs, my unhesitating choice would be Sir Peter Ustinov, Clive James, and Barry Humphries What a spellbinding evening that would be!! RIP all three gentlemen. 👍
Two great comedians in the line up at the beginning, Eric Sykes and and Barry Humphries.
What a huge huge loss RIP. You made me laugh so often over the years!
Barry Humphries as the Goblin King was certainly a highlight of The Hobbit.
Breaks my Heart hope he's up there making every one laugh

NOBODY could make me laugh like this guy! What a loss!
Very nice entertainer. Loved a harmless bit of fun and was loved for it. A bit like Larry Grayson.
A wonderful genius !!! Oh I especially remember a show, where Dame Edna also had that old grumpy woman as a helper 😂😂😂
think you mean Madge? those shows were hilarious
@@vallee3140 Yes her !!! :-D- I did watch some videos of the duo yesterday - LOVE when she was sent to peoples home to spy ;-) !
@@cfsKunckel Iv'e been reading about her in todays papers so funny
Rest in paradise, possums. We love you forever.
😂❤
Lucky angels getting their fill of your grandest bits.
I love the skit when “they have found me a better seat”. And how King Charles and Camilla took it in good grace and with humour.
Rest in peace Barry, you and Dame Edna made the world a happier place>
Witty humour from the 80s.will not be the same.
Good old fashion funny.
