😂😅 One of the very best British comedy legends there ever was, and ever will be !. This comedian make me laugh no other before or since. RIP Benny Hill. 😊

When I was a teenager, I enjoyed the comedy, though I didn't get some of the British references. The scantily clad women were a pleasant sight to my young eyes. Now, as a man in my late 50s, I still enjoy the show.

Benny Hill was hilarious, grew up in the seventies.. and it was what it was.. that theme tune is iconic for any chase.

I like Benny's humor .... I recall this skit on his show... In it, Benny had complained about the sexually suggestive posters on the subway walls of the escalators.... Officer : "But surely the speed of the escalators would make viewing of these posters very minimal ?" Benny : "I disagree, if you go down on the escalator that is going up, you can spend a lot of viewing each poster!" :face-turquoise-covering-eyes:

What a stupidly depressing title and subject for a YT video. OFFS...

As a young guy watching this it was even then out dated, clearly sexist and well generally unfunny. Thankfully we had Monty python, Fawlty Towers
