Billy Connolly - Colonoscopy - World Tour of New Zealand

I havenlsughrd so hard in years! Tears were coming out of my eyes! Hilarious!

So true and you think your Brain has drained out as well.

I remember seeing his debut in the 80s on hbo max, he took off and never looked back , if you haven’t seen it it’s a comedy must

ROFLMFAO 😂😂😂

These are my two cents about Colonoscopy. Colonoscopy as a procedure may be useful in some cases, but it's not for everyone. They say that the risk is not that great and only minor cases can be complications. The question is "Do you really need this procedure?". From my experience, it wasn't great experience which led to my new condition IBS. Reason for my colonoscopy was strange bloated and warm feeling next to my bellybutton. Like everyone else I started researching about my symptoms and colonoscopy online. To be honest, I panicked and went to the doctor. She told me to have colonoscopy. Plus blood tests, urine tests and of course poop test and ultrasound. Problem was she didn't tell me to have 4 more tests which were more important for having colonoscopy:

1) Fecal calprotectin is a very sensitive marker for inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract, and useful for the differentiation of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

2) The fecal occult blood test (FOBT) is a lab test used to check stool samples for hidden (occult) blood.

3) Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT test) is a diagnostic technique that examines stool samples for traces of non-visible blood, which could potentially indicate conditions including bowel cancer.

4) The stool DNA test is a noninvasive test to screen for colon cancer. Stool DNA testing is intended to screen for colon cancer or precancerous polyps in people with no symptoms. This test identifies DNA changes in the cells of a stool sample and looks for abnormal DNA associated with colon cancer or polyps.

These 4 tests are golden standard whether you should have colonoscopy or not. If these tests are negative and you are under 45, you definitely don't need to have colonoscopy.

To have more clear picture about your health, you also need to do: 1) Ultrasound and 2) CT scan of your colon and any other non-invasive tests. Require those tests. Your health and well-being is at stake.

Plus if it's necessary, go see couple of GI doctors. Because they have different level of experience and opinion when it comes to test results. Only after that you need to decide whether you need to have colonoscopy or not.

Each year close to 600 thousand people die due to colon cancer all over the world. Just because small portion die of cancer it doesn't mean rest of us should do this procedure. This procedure is useful for those who have family history of cancer, IBD or IBS. For the rest it's not necessary and too much risk.

It's propaganda to make more money from people. "If you don't do this procedure, you will die of cancer." Colonoscopy as a procedure is overhyped to milk money from people.

If you have strong symptoms (like blood in your stool, terrible pain in abdomen) and lab tests (fecal calprotectin, FOBT, FIT test, stool DNA test) and ultrasound/CT scans show that you have a problem, only then you need to have colonoscopy. Otherwise, don't do it. Colonoscopy and endoscopy should be the last in your list to screen your internal organs. Everything which ends with -scope should be carefully weighted. Look at the pros and cons and after that do the procedure. I am pretty sure 90-95% of cases, people don't need this procedure.

==================================================================================

I had colonoscopy and colon is fine. Nothing was found. I bought into hype about this procedure, now almost 3 month later I have new condition IBS. To me, it wasn't worth it and made my life miserable. And my GI doctor made a mistake in protocol not telling me to have 4 additional tests.

===================================================================================

In my experience, I will never have colonoscopy ever again, even if you know for sure - 100% and tell me that I have colon cancer or any other serious GI illness. I'd rather die on my own terms.

===================================================================================

It's a lie that it's not invasive and safe procedure. Doctors don't care about you. They just want money. They don't care about your well being. They don't care your plans and dreams. At the end of the day, it's you who should be more cautious and protective about your health and body. I made a mistake and was stupid. Now I have to pay price for the rest of my life. Don't be like me.

LMAO and I have to run to the loo......almost choked on my tea
He was SPOT ON
Bless you Billy
Pax+

I love his accent. It makes everything more funny. 😂🤣🤣😂

To quote Bob Stromberg: "I think I lost computer files that night!"
(Look him up through DryBar Comedy)

Lost interest in your testicles 😂

😂😅 I'm crying.

I've watched this numerous times, and each time, my stomach hurts from laughing. Never gets old. 😂

Going in two days from now to have "...a camera shoved up my ass." Now I can see why I avoided it all these years. Not a smart thing to do but...understandable. The pharmacist advised me to drink the liquid doody drink through a straw to avoid my taste buds. Very glad my taste buds aren't in my rectum...

Oh my God, That duck part😂😂😂😂😂

Two things that should NEVER go together - laxatives and Billy Connolly!

HYSTERICAL! Laughed till I cried!

Funny but painfully accurate - not looking forward to my next one in a couple of months 😢

Yes and l found out l had cancer

I LOVE SCOTTS HUMOR😂😂

Go lightly 😅 I have had this procedure five ? Times. I'm cancer free

Hilarious 😂😂😂😂

Even my toilet was insulted.

He’s spot on about the discharge, it’s like Niagara Falls!😅

I’ve had two….second one I only ate soft food and very little for several days prior to the clean-out. Much easier.

My mum and I laugh so hard at Billy Connolly we barely get to the toilet in time as we wet ourselves roaring and crying at the same time

This has got to be one of my favorites. I have never laughed so hard before! 😂

he was lucky, he got the pills, I was given the "mix"... you know you mix it with water or gator aid and it tastes like vermiculite and has the consistency of snot or a mixture of half congealed jello and maybe KY jelly ...same result though.

Had one recently, and 100% accurate. Be near a toilet for several hours and not a great experience.
But it's better than dying, so would absolutely recommend

I had a colonoscopy and this is the accurate version...it's even better when you arrive at the appointment and they tell you that you are cleaned out nicely.

Ladies and gentleman, THIS is Il Duce

😂😂😂

😂😂😂And your arse is burning 😂😂😂

😂😂🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣😂😅😂😂😂

Sounds like they distilled the tap water of Ibiza into a few tablets

Two years ago I had a major issue with my gallbladder and needed a colonoscopy before the surgery. I took this stuff around 8pm and by 7am nothing had happened so the doctor prescribed another dose of it. Over 3 litres of ‘NASA’ laxative. When I eventually went around 9am everyone on the ward said they felt sorry for me. 🤣 I wouldn’t wish that on my ex wife. 🤣

Had three of them and that liquid is horrible,once I just sat for an hour looking at the jug wishing for divine intervention 😅

It was like being sexually abused as a child. I won't have any more done. Simply too tramatic for me.

And I'm a medical professional!!

Colonoscopy tomorrow here. Obviously watching Billy for his blessing.

Omg! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love the actions you do Billy! Your the best 😂

I love how Lee Evans does a similar bit about his colonoscopy and his experiences with the laxatives he was given. They're similar but have little differences. Like how in Billy's story, his wife was genuinely concerned about him. In Lee's story, his wife didn't give a shit about him, even hogging the toilet when he desperately needed it!

I had my first colonoscopy at 30....I had Picoprep x 2.....I got bad ibs....all I will say this...YES, put a shit roll inthe fridge because 😭😭😱😱😭😭 when the oily discharge hit me, I swear, I was religious 5 seconds.....holy shhhhhhhh...I never in my life knew my hole would be that destroyed...like, imagine the japanese flag but on steroids, ye? .....I know, nobody will belive me....but....oh....ooouf....but atleast I got a "ok, you are clean as a whistle"...and my brain went "oh aye? After THIS, if the pope comes, the only thing that might happen is that my hole will blow bubbles thanks to you".....jesus christ

Spot on accurate 👌 👏 🤣

40 to 50 minutes. Then recovery 1 hr

It’ll be at least a couple decades before I need to get one of these, yet here I am laughing harder than I have in months. My dad says Billy nailed it.

As a pharmacist when I dispense one of these spectacular laxatives I occasionally tell the patient to view this clip to give them some insight into the experience they're about to have .

I have crohns and i felt this

Check both ends at the same time. I've had it twice under mild sedative. Camera up and down. Topped and tailed. No problem.

One of the funniest bits I've ever heard !! 🤣🤣🤣🤣😝😝😝😝
