In the short clip, shared exclusively by RadioTimes.com, Connolly speaks about bad behaviour, characterising it as "behaviour that's irritable to other people".
Welcoming a camera crew into his Florida home, he opens up about his local town, as he says: "They don't operate above the law but they don't operate within it either.
"There's a naked bar where you can go naked for a pint if you feel like it. There's some good rock and roll bars and an Irish bar where people do Irish things."

The seven-part series follows Connolly as he looks back at 50 years of stand-up and highlights some of his favourite sets from over the decades.
"He'll also reflect back on how his views have (and haven't) changed on a variety of topics, since he put the banjo down and started telling his shaggy dog stories," UKTV teases.

The hour-long episodes each cover a different topic, with Connolly exploring work, sex, travel, childhood, parenthood, love and marriage across the series.
"I'm really looking forward to sharing a few of my favourite moments from over the years," Connolly said in a statement last year.
"It's been brilliant, and I hope you'll come along for the ride."
