People that piss me and Billy Connelly off.

Billy Connolly (Scottish comedian, big grey haired dude...aka 'The Big Yin) - in his own words (read with a slight scottish accent):
 
"Things I hate about everybody...."


1. People who point at their wrist while asking for the time....I know where my watch is pal, where the f*ck is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?
 


 2. People who are willing to get off their arse to search
the entire room for the TV remote because they refuse to walk to the TV and change the channel manually.
 


 3. When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too".  F*cking right! What good is a cake if you can't eat it?
 


 4. When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course it is. Why the f*ck would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they?


5. When people say while watching a film "did you see
that?". No tosser, I paid 10 quid to come to the cinema and stare at
the f*cking floor.
 

6. People who ask "Can I ask you a question?". Didn't really give me a choice there, did you sunshine?
 


 7. When something is 'new and improved!'. Which is it? If it's new,  then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it.
 


 8. When people say "life is short". What the f*ck?? Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever f*cking does!! What can you do that's longer?
 


9. When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks, "Has the bus come yet?". If the bus came would I be standing here, Knobhead?
 


 10. People who say things like 'My eyes aren't what they used to be'. So what did they used to be? Ears, Wellington boots?

 

11. When you're eating something and someone asks 'Is that
nice?' No it's really revolting - I always eat stuff I hate.

 

12. People who announce they are going to the toilet. Thanks that's an image I really didn't need.


13. McDonalds staff who pretend they don't understand you unless you insert the 'Mc' before the item you are ordering.....It's has to be a McChicken Burger, just a Chicken Burger get blank looks...........Well I'll have a McStraw and jam it in your McEyes you f*cking McTosser.

 
14. When you're involved in a accident and someone asks 'are you alright? Yes fine thanks, I'll just pick up my limbs and be off.

 

ROFLMAO....I LOVE Billy Connolly!!!!!

He was brilliant as a badass in The Boondock Saints as well although the director said that they would frequently have to wait for him to finish up an impromptu stand-up routine for passersby before he would do his scenes:)

Good stuff. It's too bad Billy's attempt to break into Hollywood pretty much died when he took over as the teacher on Head of the Class. American sitcoms just weren't the right venue for his brand of edginess.

Hell no, they aren't!!! 

I'm going to go look for some Billy Connelly stuff on CD in a bit....nothing like a good laugh to make you feel better!

Head of the Class didn't exactly have me rolling in the aisles with the original guy. It was better with Billy - but not much.

The other american sitcom he guest stared in was pearl

Very true, greywar......good flick. His role was great, made it hard to see him as a comedian for a while after see it.

Hmm...this hot dude I know sent it to me.

Ok, now I've embarrassed you, let me ask you something - you know how I am, how could you expect me to leave that comment alone?!

I love Billy Connelly too.  His accent makes everything all the more funny.  "McTosser"- I'm lovin' it


I'm guilty of the "life is short" thing.  Got it from my grandma.  She's right though, time seems to go by faster and faster each year.

Coke on the monitor, via my nose......that's hilarious!

SGT Monobrow just bought Boondock Saints for the express purpose of getting pissed with the Scot in our class while watching it. I'll let you know how that goes. (So far, we've gotten him to do a fair Shrek impression, and he said, "I'll take The Rapist for 500." without much fuss. He has to warm up his Connery, tho.)

You have a scot in your class, cool! 

You'll probably never understand him when he's pissed....just a little fyi: some scots ask 'how' when they mean 'why'.  For example, if you said  "I don't like cats"...they might say "how?"

I'm going to show my military-by-association-ness here, but what the hell is 'fnord'?  I see it all over your responses and I'd really like to have a freakin' clue about it's meaning.

me too, I wanna know too!

As for Billy Connelly--he's brililant! However, when ever I hear his name the line "not some bird who looks like Billy Connelly" from a Robbie Williams song pops into my head...and that's no so brilliant!

So, pseudo...fess it up, what does it mean?

Dharma, knew a very nice scotsman from a trade show in Germany.  He was always up for a pint but I couldn't understand a word he said once he had a couple.  Loved to listen to him even though I couldn't understand what he was talking about.  Cracked himself up like crazy which made me laugh too.


I am interested in "fnord" too!

My sister-in-law's family comes from Oban, way up on the northern tip of Scotland.  Super-nice folks, but I have a heck of a time understanding them when they've had a few "wee drams".  Man, could they party, though...we went to a couple of New Year's (Hogmanay if you're Scottish) shin-digs at their place and they would still be going strong when we left at 5 or 6 am!

Love Billy Connely, his part in The Last Samurai was excellent.

But, I originally read this as coming from George Carlin. Was someone mixed up?

I got this from Lonesome, who got it from god-knows-who...who attributed it to Billy Connelly.  That's all I know....sorry!

It did inspire me to look for Billy Connelly CD's on half.com though....
