Maybe the guy sitting there scratching his chin doesn't speak English, or not very well, and doesn't understand what Dylan is saying. (This is my attempt at a kinder conjecture than the possibility that he's a plank with no sense of humour.)
I'm not American, and I prefer British comedy, but commenting about how ALL Americans are morons or whatnot is stupid and xenophobic (at least here there's SOME excuse, but you see it even with videos that have nothing to do with Americans). It's worse when people try to compare British and American media by using crap like Dane Cook, Jersey Shore, etc., to make their point. It would be like using Johnny Vegas or Big Brother to represent the UK. Americans can be funny and have great comedians.
Simply put. Hilarious. But you know what is even more funnier. People unable to get it. Probably it's the same chaps think WWE is actually real. Do your self a favour and join the army. There are still mines to neutralize so animals wont get killed.
i think the defining difference between American comedy and British or Irish comedy is that we brits and the irish have always had a knack for slightly surrealist subject and delivery and american comedians tend to be more direct and loud with their subject and delivery. Both of which are brilliant in their own right. It strikes me when i went to comedy gig in new york a few years back that americans will laugh at the british or the irish due to their accent, not their comedy.
As an American, I will agree that this crowd is really, really fucking pathetic. There is no reason for this type of response to Dylan Moran, who is a genius.
seriously what is with that fuckk at 11:07 the stupid smug fucker. i just want to punch him in the face and stomp on his fucking nose for looking like an irritating twat
@abha87 I think "dying inside" is a bit much. Everyone has good and bad days at work; comedians are the only people we expect to be consistently brilliant all the time.
I don't feel it's fair to judge American humor as a whole based on the reaction of one crowd. Granted, most of us have the IQ of a tea cozy, but we do have a few bright spots here and there, however few and far between they may be. Long live Moran, Izzard and Connolly!
Why is everyone dissing American humour here? I'm Canadian, so I feel like you're somewhat insulting me too. Haha. We can appreciate hilarious things too! Come, now!
do americans have any sence of humor??? Dylan is awsome as always and the people are like bags of potatoes...in part one there was this guy that just sat there with a kind of a pokerface like he was angry with Dylan....
He is very funny, but watching the audience reaction to him, very hard to work out if he died on his feet, or was just hitting lucky. His humour is very clever and dry. American audiences seem to prefer screeming people and over loud. Not this style. Maybe i am soooooo wrong, but i think he is great.
@Jetairwayscaptain His delivery is quite off in this performance, but I have a feeling he knows it's not going to matter much with an American audience.
Americans tend from my experience to not be comfortable enough about who they are to laugh at themselves. Its a deep rooted insecurity bred by the overly materialistic culture where meaning is lost and left by the wayside. Dylan puts meaning in everying and does it flippantly, they find that hard to accept. Its not that they are incapable of thinking for themselves just that they are NOT USED to having to do so in comedy. their national comedians do them a disservice. Is it due to their media?
@helimax The media distracts from any sort of self-reflection, materialism an obvious escape. They also can't face their (recent) history, and the variety of races that make up the nation state have people confused about their identity (what makes them like any other American?). Also they are more politically correct because they try hard to be so anti-racist which allows for ignorance (Moran's generalizations are a stab) but it's a very "surface culture" -- if they even have a sense of one.
@RubiconXing True. I'm Irish myself. I found from my person experience living in the states that people were great fun but there was no sarcastic self effacing humour. There was no room for saying how stupid and ridiculous we are mos tof our lives. Things are only funny when your explaining how Others are dumb ect... like a preoverbial brick wall around the self. I found that hard to handle at times. But it's not a quation of intelligence, people get that wrong, its a question of culture!
I'm from NY, and I find this hilarious. If you look around a bit more, you'll find plenty of American comedians who are quite willing to make of themselves and the American culture.
@RedBear1023 Could you list a couple of names for me to go check out ? I'm always looking for new comedy! Some edgy american guys would be great. thanks
you can see that the audience is struggling to laugh and poor Dylan doesn't know how to end the hole thing faster, he never goes that fast through his jokes...
@TheGzeus Well, at this point I give an inverted cringe and and thumping of the table and a 'It's fuckin MORan' and then a rambling shpiel about how the accent falls on the first syllable in 99% of words in Gaeilge as in CONnor not ConNOR and KELly not KelLY etc., whenever an American or an English person pronounces it wrongly :) Gonna have to educate 'em all...or try and get over it! ;)
@Alishhh4 no no no, it would be more appreciated in brittain because this is SMART comedy. americans like sitcoms where a laugh-track can tell them when to laugh. thats the level americans are on when it comes to comedy.
@Conspiracyknowledge that's what I said, I'm British, I meant he should do more stuff in Britain. I wouldn't like to generalize about Americans, but I do think British audiences respond best to this kind of rambling, yet intellectual humour.
@GADNAMMIT The first time the camera panned to him I was mid-laugh but then I saw his face and I instantly thought "CUNT! FUCKING CUNT!". His face killed my buzz...
Can I just highlight how annoying it is to hear the interval guy call him Dylan Mo-Ran... lol
