One thing many of us can laugh about is our childhood. Recollection of happy memories is a satisfying pastime, more so when brought into focus by a comic master as good as Dave Allen. This clip is full of observation of how adults treated us when we were kids and there will be millions (and especially boys) who can relate to part if not all of it. The 'look at your face' gag is the funniest moment. Many a mother will have said this to their child. Allen, with his charming and compelling delivery easily captivates his audience, and then drives home his point with the usual mixture of exasperation and vulgarity. However good our childhood and however much our parents loved us, they often had no idea what they put us through. Thank you to this Irish genius for bringing it all back !
