Des Bishop's Immersion Routine

[wogseron]

Every irish person lives in fear of the immersion :)

[JennyBean43]

Lol this is so true. My dad has a heart attack if I forget to turn off the immersion.

[welshgemlou]

I just turned on my emersion heater then sat down to wait and clicked on this! Only when visiting my mum do I have to negotiate for hot water! ie: can i put the ermersion on - can't you wait for the heating to come on?!

[eithnejack]

im sorry but once i hear that american accent i just switch off, it's just pure deadpan... humour just not up to scratch

[EpicGurth]

he's as funny as the time i got a skin tag on one of me sacs_de_scrotum and thought it might be something more serious !

[justoneopinion1]

Have seen this about 100 times and is STILL laugh out loud funny :)

It's scary how the man knows the Irish so well :D

[sillylightbulbs1]

Just spotted myself in the audience! I still remember the gig well and still laugh out loud to this routine! Good man Des!

[ebzzzz1]

is it just me or does he kinda look like tom cruise

[branie99]

You had it on bath as well!!!!

[SixEightySeven]

Hello if you came here because Des just mentioned this routine on Twitter!

[MsRKirwan]

Every sentence is gold..... Love love live this routine!

[crossan24]

dessie u ledgend

[oligoss]

Utter shit.

[oligoss]

utter shit.

[peddleandcrank]

hes as bout as funny as a kick in the ball,

wish they would throw him out of the country.

if he was half as good as he thinks how come nobody knows him in britain or anywhere else for that matter?

[missnixiful]

@peddleandcrank Because you're a fag, and will never understand comedy, go fuck yourself.

[missnixiful]

@peddleandcrank You're fucking 35, you have the grammar of a fucking twelve year old, I'm disgraced that you live in the same country as me, go get laid.

[peddleandcrank]

@missnixiful id be disgraced if i was you too you culchie muppet

[missnixiful]

@peddleandcrank Go back to the old folks home will ya ?

[peddleandcrank]

@missnixiful go and ride your sister....again you cork muppet

[missnixiful]

@peddleandcrank I don't have a sister , you fucking retard, stop trying to be witty.

[missnixiful]

@peddleandcrank Bahahaha I love how you're 35, and getting intimidated by a 13 year old .. spastic.

[silvershields]

the panic that one has when they forget to turn off the immersion!!!

[NutellaWithForks]

When he says "closet", I assume he means "wardrobe".

Brilliant routine!

[JOHNandEDWARDareCOOL]

THIS HAPPENS THE WHOLE TIME AT MY HOUSE !! MY DAD EVEN RUNS

[AmazingMe198]

I was showing this to my mum, she just goes, oh crap i actually forgot to turn of the immersion. Oh god why is he always so right!

[pinkpunk2k9]

yayy im going to see him this week :D

[hueymax]

I gotta say as a big fan of good stand up comedy I think this is pure shite. I know des is a cool guy that's been both clever and successful in 'tapping' into the Irish market in making us laugh at ourselves but this isn't that great IMHO. I thought the bit from 0:10 - 0:25 and about 6 seconds around the 3 minute mark was funny but the rest wasn't great. I heard him on the Ray Darcy show a few month's back and he actually didn't say anything remotely funny. Ray and co didn't laugh at all.

[hueymax]

@hueymax sorry to be a bollocks. I did like the documentary on the fast food though!

[JOHNandEDWARDareCOOL]

@hueymax FUCK YOU HATERS :)

[Siveywiveyx]

He's hilarious... I didn't even realise Americans didn't have hot presses until I watched this! And "YOU FORGOT TO TURN OFF THE IMMERSION!! NOOO!!!" I swear, this happens in our house ALL the time. xD xD xD

[WarrenGifford]

check out des back stage with dempsy on my page

[mmcloughlin2001]

Brilliant, it's so so true!

[Llamikazi]

Absolutely spot on! Myself and the new immersion in the house are fighting a duel to the death... and I wouldn't have it any other way. =)

[AlannaTano]

This is just so brilliant and so true!!

[darrin42]

Seen him in Mullingar sat night. Brilliant show.

[gjfrazer]

Best sketch ever , it's funny cos it's true

[CredoCatholicJournal]

Classic!

[DeanRastaRebel]

haha very funny and very true

[kikhazz]

its quite relaxing listening to his slight american accent, i hate constantly concentrating on irish people's accent, youre not even listening what theyre saying but how theyre saying things :S

[Conway11906]

@kikhazz i take it your american then ? i can hear you talkin from your hole you cunt

[kikhazz]

@Conway11906 yo, chill out. i live in Ireland and im not a yank

[silvershields]

this is possibly one of the best jokes told in stand up EVER!!!!!!!!!!......its frighteningly true

[tabby2flabby]

you've gotta love dessy!

[MrBjmbubbles]

yanks always put other poeple in hot water then get out as soon as possible.

[originalbalex]

so true though i've never lived in a country where i had to heat my water XD. Even in sweden its just there!

[batlin]

I think I was at this gig. Good laugh!

[jennadrumma]

Feckin Americans ,, Havent a clueeee !

[piaybackjunkie17]

Fuckin Americans.. haha lol

[beaviskeavis]

irish guy ,i agree with you, same old routine,even that jump around ,saw him do it two nights at the after party at killkenny comedy fest about 7 years ago,jump round the stage thinking he was everlast,now i see hes doing it in irish,what a lemon. theres a certain click in irish comedy,if your not in the loop ,goodluck....DES ,PLEASE ,CHANGE YOUR ROUTIne....taking the piss out of ireland and the irish is boring...

[1992Sorcha1992]

Dont like it them why are ya on one of videos?

[beaviskeavis]

this guy makes a living out of taking the piss out of the irish,soooo after boring 5 mins ,iv seen him live....arragant tosser, i herd he used to bully kids in blackrock college.....prick.

[mundsy1]

@beaviskeavis if you went to blackrock college you deserves to be bullied!!

[mariemac123]

des you were gas (pardon the pun!!) at the ESB Energy Effeciency gig last night I loved it!!!

The new material will go down well I'm sure!! Oh and tell Black Bob I said hi!!!!!

[MrBillygrey]

The best comedy is making fun out of the small things in life. Des is really funny with this routine, and he is right a shower in america would really put a hole in you !!

[NaneCunha]

irish people don't even mind turning the heat on as they don't take shower that often...

[irishguyhere123]

and people thought it was the greatest achievement of all time !!! I spent about 8 months in france working for a carpenter and i have a basic level of french just from listening and without ever sitting down a day and reading a book trying to learn it ... never mind if I had nothing else to worry about except learning the language and having people teach it to me for 9 months straight !! Anybody with half a brain could have a decent level of irish after doing that !!

[irishguyhere123]

of course its "sooooo true" !!!!! hes been living here since he was about 10 for crying out loud !!!! lol.... I think its pretty funny but god I am so bored of him doing the same ole routine... taking the mickey out of the irish... everything he does consists of drawing jokes from us and our heritage. think about it... Our language .... when he spent 8 or 9 months in a gaeltacht learning our language just so he can get on stage and joke about it....

[gedamski]

ah take a fuckin chill pill ya tight arse...boo hoo poor us get a grip ya sap

[irishguyhere123]

right I dunno who said anything about "poor us" ... I think the guy is funny but nobody can say he hasnt been doin the same tired routine for the past 7 or 8 years... simple as... Oh and go fuck yourself .

[BeMyEbonyPearl]

Come Back To Waterfrod:D:D

[BeMyEbonyPearl]

Go On Dessy Boy:D:D

[janineb82]

[mildlysupernatural]

Hihi, it is funny though. It took AAAAGES to get the shampoo out of my hair in Ireland. Now, back home, I do think there'll be unwanted holes in me body every morning.

Des, ur funny! Saw you in De Barra's in Clonakilty, West Cork a year ago or so, was one of the funniest nights of my life. : )
