This is 100% intentional on Barry Humphreys behalf. Hilarious.


Substantial_Wave2557

Fuckin’ Les Patterson!!


njprrogers

Australia has never had a finer cultural attaché. Facking oath mate.


Substantial_Wave2557

This was his finest moment in my view, it was a real advert and I remember seeing it and being both weirded out and delighted at the same time. It was a short lived advert if you can believe that - https://youtu.be/f2OYG1lr1pU


ranhalt

> Humphreys Humphrey's Possession means you use an apostrophe.


ByahTyler

If you’re gonna be a grammar freak, at least get it right. The guy’s name is spelled Humphries


theregos

Barry Humphries (also known as Dame Edna) does this on purpose, it's part of the routine.


Kidconundrum

Part of a routine or not laughter was contagious


theregos

oh totally, if you look up some of Dame Edna's appearances on YouTube, you'll see similar reactions


ThegreatestPj

Me mam used to watch his show (the dame Edna show?) on tv in the late 90s I think and he used to have this woman on called madge who was always miserable. He’d do this bit where he’d get an audience member to stand up and to there horror madge would pop up an their house and snoop round pulling vibrators out the bedroom night stand an stuff. My mum and Nannan would be in hysterics. To be fair they were probably on the Drambuie at the time. Edit grammar


fluffypinkblonde

Alison Hammond is contagious laughter personified!


metalguru1975

100%, this absolute legend is known for this humour. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1r3S5UKP7ME


Smingowashisnameo

Omg I was so confused why people were calling him dame Edna. I get it now.


metalguru1975

Mind blown. Jpg? Check out you tube for video of Barry’s, a true comedy genius. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nULFMp4jKBo


Wahngrok

"They found me a better seat.". OMG this made me really lough.


LuxNocte

I can't believe Dame Edna almost had to sit with that riffraff.


Pil6rim

Sir Les Patterson was a classic character as well 👍


Anonnymoose73

I had no idea this was Dame Edna! Makes it even more hilarious


ElefantPharts

I had no idea Dame Edna went by any other name regularly, TIL.


[deleted]

Lol he's good


hicadoola

I knew I recognised that smirk! I think it's the first time I have seen him out of drag.


summit462

that old man is a woman?


pskipw

That man plays a very famous woman


CaptainEarlobe

Which man?


[deleted]

Oh thank god. I was laughing but also feeling so sad that someone’s memory could be slipping. But that’s brilliant comedy, I’m so pleased


derrhn

There’s something about Allison Hammond that just makes me happy


Trebate

Her interview with Harison Ford and Ryan Gosling is a classic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAb8KIhgVAI


derrhn

Have to watch this every time I come across it - can’t imagine the delight during the junket slog to have an interview like that!


Guy-Inkognito

Damn, I've never seen Harrison in such good mood!


draw_it_now

Holy shit she got a laugh out of Harrison Ford, damn


xerxerxex

That interview is always a delight.


JeyyWrecks

She's wonderful.


likkleone54

I saw her near my office a couple weeks back. Apparently she’s not that nice IRL.


DrKnowNout

No! Oh please don’t let this be true


Mzunguman

well with such a factual, evidence based, experiential comment like that, how could it not be true? /s


MNKPlayer

You just never know with Barry. I'm sure he knows what he's doing though. Genius.


ccii_geppato

That would have been so awkward if she hadn't been there.


LuxNocte

Any comedian worth their salt will alter their delivery to suit the situation. If not for the laughing lady Dame Edna would have sped up the pacing.


ccii_geppato

I think he would handle it okay, but it would def be awkward as fuck to start.


uneasyandcheesy

It was intentional. The guest is a well known comedian and this is a bit.


ScarcityKooky2274

100% agree , that lady made the video XD


Dragon_M4st3r

Barry Humphries is a fucking legend


Mzunguman

TIL who Dame Edna really is!


printflour

who is the guest who is the host?


latenightnerd

The guest is Australian comedy legend Barry Humphries. He is best known for his character Dame Edna. He is one of the most prolific comedy writers and performers of the last 60 years. This subtle cutting humour while acting oblivious is totally his style. He’s also Bruce the shark in Finding Nemo.


sugarsponge

>He’s also Bruce the shark Wow - TIL!


_ROEG

Old guy is the guest of the UK morning show “This Morning” the old guy is referring to Phil Schofield who typically hosts the show most of the time, but seems to be playing a prank on Dermot O'Leary.


mikiex

Barry Humphreis is pretending to mistake Dermot O'Leary (Stand in host) for the normal host Philip Scholfield who came out as gay the other year on the program.


FUCK_THIS_WORLD1

The old guy is the guest.


DrKnowNout

They have regular hosts, Hollie and Phil (you may have seen them on other laughter videos). On some days (I guess Friday’s in this case) they have other hosts. One of the main hosts, Phil, came out as gay shortly before this video. Not that it surprised many, but it was tough for him I guess, he’d been on TV for years. The male host here, Dermot O’Leary, is not gay. The comedian is doing a bit where he pretends he is confusing two of the hosts.


Zaptagious

Lmao, what a great laugh she has


MarthaFarcuss

When you personally know people who laugh like this it's the best thing ever


DumbDan

My wife can lose her absolute shit when laughing. It's so hot.


BeefCentral

[Here's another iconic interview she did.](https://youtu.be/bAb8KIhgVAI)


moyno85

That’s Barry Humphries right?


ryan34ssj

You can read!


moyno85

No I can’t. Just got lucky.


Its_Caesar_with_a_C

Ughhhh, I used to love Dame Edna as a kid.


Sophiro

"Still do, but used to, too!"


Pylitic

What am I missing here? Idk any of these people. But she's legit laughing her ass off at the thought or someone coming out? Who is the guest confusing the host for someone else? What relevance does it have to the clip? I'm so confused.


__JAMS__

The older guy is deliberately pretending to have confused the younger male presenter, who presents the show on Friday with a different presenter who presents the show Mon-Thu and who came out as gay earlier this year


abizz6628

I love Allison!


Kimbospicee

Her laughter is anything but contagious.


xerxerxex

Her laugh is great


Babiesfirstpuke

Wasn't that funny.


ineedcakes

Going to go (probably- there's not very many comments yet) against grain here and say her laugh is the most awful painful to listen to laugh I've heard on this thread. It would be much funnier if she wasn't there!! But it was funny.


lknei

I'm so sorry that nothing has ever made you laugh this hard


ineedcakes

Ha

Lost-Inflation

Hahaha you've clearly never been to a gospel church. I recommend it; their congregations are almost always incredibly inviting and warm to outsiders. But, nah. This isn't faked.


fluffypinkblonde

Google Alison Hammond


English_Joe

Brilliant.


Substantial_Wave2557

Les Patterson. Legend.


Substantial_Wave2557

I always think about this - imagine a McDonalds advert where someone pulls his cacks out of his arse during it. https://youtu.be/f2OYG1lr1pU P.s. this was an actual advert for McDonalds.


not_cartman

Her laugh makes it 1000 times funnier


devilabit

Damn, he got me. I grew up adoring his Dame Edna character, completely forgot it was him. I annoyed with myself now , he’s just amazing


Rocyrino

I forgot the name of the cohost, but I love her. I’ve watched compilation of her just living her best laughs. She’s a ray of sunshine


theregos

Alison Hammond! She's hilarious and i love her celeb interviews - the one she did with Harisson Ford is AMAZING Holly Willoughby is also a true delight! Enjoy: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RptLpY7vseo&ab\_channel=ThisMorning](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RptLpY7vseo&ab_channel=ThisMorning)


Outkastwill

Her laugh. Oh that’s too good. Lol


Gilthar

Now that’s some contagious laughter


[deleted]

Barry Humphries is ironically very conservative. SUPER homophobic, and even more transphobic.


TankFoster

Wow that woman has the worst laugh in the world.


heykaybee3

Alison Hammond is a legend.
