Dara OBriain Talks Funny 2008 Part [1/9]

[Koshak87]

10 minutes into the show and no sex jokes or black humor yet...am I really watching a modern British comedy show?

Pleasantly surprised, indeed =)

[bluejeckett]

Im not really into comedians who start incorporating the audience into thier act tbh, I think its a bit lazy, people pay money to be entertained not to have to help provide it, I enjoy dara alot on mock the week hes very funny but the whole where are you from and what do you do is not really comedy and alot of stand ups do it, I go to a comedy gig to see someone make me laugh not to find out what other members of the audience do for a living

[horsie890]

"HSSSCK HSSSSHCK Sorry. Doctor Who." EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE.

[ydbeales]

I can't find the second part! Help

[The13keegan]

he looks like the dude from despicable me

[TheAbstar96]

LOVE YOU DARA!!!! <3 x

[OrangeQuark]

Ahhh Woolworth's. Those were the days... :'(

[pravkdey]

Dara rocks the tie-less suit look

[pearlamfan]

i love him soooo much, best thing in comedy!

[Wolstenholmie]

He says his name at lightning speed that's for sure

[panzerrat]

Speaking as a Yank: Genius!

[JustinLoverX123]

Up Ireland! Cmon Limerick :D Yuuuuurtiigg Shaam ;)

[sarsfield1998]

I Like Pizza!

[TheCoolShades]

Dara, it's CYCLOPS who leads the team.

And he goes on about people getting facts right!

Sigh.

;)

[DjMixesTomBoi]

i dunno why i laughed even when he wasn't telling jokes

[Dungarth]

...I honestly think they should bring back Father Ted with Dara O'Brain as Ted.

[aModernDandy]

@Dungarth Oh - my - GOD! That's a brilliant idea!

[dararara92]

I love having the same first name as this guy :D

[beamerball666]

@dararara92 Awesome have you been on his website lately the pic at the top looks a tad creepy!

[GroovingPict]

is that him doing his own introduction??

[PT8475]

@GroovingPict Yes.

[Clint945]

@GroovingPict

Most Comedians do their own introduction.

Not sure why... They just do.

[Papped1710]

@Clint945 saves money I'd guess, why get someone in for 5 seconds of narration when you can just do it yourself?

[Clint945]

@Papped1710

Yeah, i guess thats why.

[Omni315]

@GroovingPict I think it's to keep the costs down

[insectsinmyclothes]

@Omni315 And for comic effect.

[GunsmokeForever]

@GroovingPict I'm pretty sure it is

[Hrazorness]

@GroovingPict Many comedians actually do this. IIRC Ricky Gervais does it, Bill Bailey does it and I'm sure there are more who do.

[wardzer]

@GroovingPict yep, he always does his introduction.

[GSBConstantine]

@GroovingPict of corse.

[OskarHellstroem]

He wa MUCh funnier then I thought ;D

[AICabal]

Wolverine is the guy that gets shit done though!

[Omni315]

Technicly it's prof xavier that leads the team, I have lost faith in how much of a nerd Dara really is

[ebmusicman84]

If you want to get really technical, didn't Professor Xavier lead the X-Men?

[SgtTitch]

I had no idea my home town was known for lap dancing...

[ghosturiel]

@SgtTitch hey, there are days i wish my town was known for lap dancing.

[Asianbeard]

Actaully, wolverine does not lead a team, cyclops does.

[Lorcannnn]

@Asianbeard he was probably just naming wolverine as he is the best know member of the x-men

[Michelle11295]

Up the Irish <3

[AngelBiLove]

Just was told by 2 americans that i use lots of large words. "amputate" yeah. How fucking low is the bar for america getting? I didnt use any fucking hard words, and they thought i was fucking boasting how smart i was. And when i called one of em a whore she said "do i fornicate the entire population?" pathetic.

[hungeredone]

@AngelBiLove wow another person bashing america, never seen that before

[nerdgurl89]

@AngelBiLove Ok, ok. There are stupid people in every single country on this planet. Find to the country that produces only geniuses and move there, but don't go implying that Americans are stupid. There are plenty of us that are well educated and nice. While I haven't actually found the comments you're talking about, don't judge us all because of two bad representations.

[AdoraBell]

Which team are people talking about, since Wolverine is on tons of teams, not just the x-men.

[Bunnyfantastico25]

I totally found a live bee in Woolworths pick and mix

[cptsocks]

technically, cyclops leads the x men.... not wolverine... but hes still funny :)

[xplosive592]

@cptsocks True but to a mainstream audience he is not very well known so i guess he went with a character most people would know, however yes it is wrong.

[Bunnyfantastico25]

@cptsocks Have you not seen Wolverine and the X-men? And in the comics Storm often leads the X-men...ok I think I just nerded myself out. But I agree, Dara is very funny. :)

[fakeaccount663]

wow ive lived almost directly near the apollo for what thirteen years? and i had now idea how much good times i missed out on i feel like shit now. (whats even worse is that i can see the posters saying so and so is playing tonight just never got my fat ass down there)

[mallyska]

I like how he talks to the crowd, it's less formal and more improvised than others who just go on and start telling their jokes

[GSBConstantine]

@mallyska if u want improv, go and watch ross noble :)

[supp96]

damn he doesn't need a routine haha he makes comedy as it comes and goes

[codeyday]

One thing I love, look at the tags, theres "Condey" <3

[Pazma1]

My fourth time to see this show, my face hurts every time. Great comedian.

[TheDarkwasp]

42 ppl are racist towards the Irish

[HorsemadxEmma]

@TheDarkwasp Nah. They're just allergic to comedy.

[BoSsMaaN101]

He is too funny on Apprentice You're Fired. What a legend

[beamerball666]

No matter how many times I watch it's always funny

[jozilife]

42 ppl dont have a sense of humor.

[pyjama35]

9:02 I nearly fell off the chair when I saw Dara's alien face :L :L :L

[bulfadela]

I actually spent time reading to all the comments... and I thought YOU didn't have a life. Oh, the irony!!

[Danalarrrr]

Dara is "fecking" awesome!

[CrUithNee]

what's this panto-crowd thingy? what does it mean? he's always saying it... :D

[TheRationalRant]

@CrUithNee The type of audience reaction commonly found at a Pantomime, the boo's and the hiss's.

[CrUithNee]

@TheRationalRant oh thanx a lot! xD

[Tcrumpen]

@TheRationalRant don't forget the "Ahhhhhhhh" when someone is fishing for sympathy i.e "i'm all alone"

[Takablike]

i saw him doing this show in Manchester, he told a women to take her coat off within the first five minutes "your not going anywhere, you wont feel the benefit outside"

[ShadesOfKnight]

My god, he talks fast. :)

[deadeaded]

Good lord... he's funny.

He's the only comedian in the past 5 years (ignoring the amazing maria bamford) who's made me laugh out loud.

[mcfly4eva23]

woo ur man at 8:55 is from limerick!!!!!!!!

[delkosbabe]

oh my fucking god! would that shit head who was blocked on another channel for posting how much he hated Dara go the hell away please. Jeez you dont like him, then go away and stop posting or maybe the uploader of this great, brillant comedian maybe block him?

[coolhand9876]

@delkosbabe dude, it's called trolling....by commenting on it, you're giving him exactly what he wants

[delkosbabe]

@coolhand9876 yeah but he can be blocked and perhaps if enough people complain its account can be closed

[coolhand9876]

@delkosbabe right, but then he'll just create another account...it's not like you're ever gonna get rid of someone entirely, so you may as well just ignore it and laugh along at all the people getting riled up over nothing

[Makron5]

@delkosbabe But I've got no place to go *puts on a very sad and lonely face*

[roflex2]

brilliant guy, nothing like an intelligent comedian

[liob1611]

this was on comedy central the other night i was in TEARS laughing

[catscanflyhigh]

Dara O'trian to be funny and failing.

[CaptainChaos]

@catscanflyhigh Whereas that was a rare gem of pure comedy?

[catscanflyhigh]

@CaptainChaos I dont get paid to do this. (your reply: i wonder why?) (my response: because i'm still in school and have not yet started my long lasting career as a professional comedian)

[CaptainChaos]

@catscanflyhigh Well, i'd definitely finish my education if i were you. You need a day job.

[catscanflyhigh]

@CaptainChaos Not yet... I'm still in school. I think you mean "you'll need a day job" but hey, we all make mistakes!

[CaptainChaos]

@catscanflyhigh Yes, thanks for pointing that out. You'll definitely need a day job, if this conversation so far is supposed to be any kind of indication of your comedic skills...

[catscanflyhigh]

@CaptainChaos If you want an indication of my comedic skills just watch any of the videos on my channel. They are ALL hilarious.

[CaptainChaos]

@catscanflyhigh I kinda doubt that. People who say things like that about their own work usually badly overestimate their own funniness. But I'll take a look, maybe you'll prove me wrong!

[CaptainChaos]

@catscanflyhigh Jesus, I just took a look at your other comments. Do you do nothing *but* spout hate about Dara Ó Briain? What, did he personally offend you or something? Did you try to heckle him and he burnt you down? Were you on the front row on one of his gigs and did he make people laugh at you? Or did he skip you, or something? Get a life, man!

[catscanflyhigh]

@CaptainChaos He's just not funny.

[SebastienCade]

@catscanflyhigh

You do know people have different taste in comedians? Kinda like music or books or food or TV shows or movies or even sex positions. You don't find him funny, I do. Don't listen dumbass.

[SebastienCade]

@catscanflyhigh

Why not say "I don't find him funny" instead of "He's not funny". Yes the insult is necessary when someone comes to a video to diss the comedian the already know they don't like.

[SebastienCade]

@catscanflyhigh

LOL I discovered him 2 days ago, and I'm definitely becoming a fan. Why are you responding at such length? It's ridiculous, you say he sucks, I'm saying everyone has their own taste. Grow up a bit, there are even Justin Beiber fans in the world. My point is obvious.

[SebastienCade]

@catscanflyhigh

You came here to intentionally bash Dara. That's just immature to anyone, it's like when people go to musical artists to hate on them. It's YouTube, you have genre. Stop getting so offended that easily, we're online dude ;) you're comment was assholey, that's my opinion.

[catscanflyhigh]

@SebastienCade I haven't been offended. You came here to intentionally compliment dara, thats just jim dandy. I understand that everything everyone says is their opinion, no need to clarify.

[SebastienCade]

@catscanflyhigh

Yea I came here because I'm a FAN, at least that makes sense. I don't look for people I don't like lol.

[catscanflyhigh]

@SebastienCade I came here because I wanted to watch something. Sometimes its good to get a bit of contrast between the GOOD comedians your watching and the BAD ones. Watching this helps me appreciate good comedy even more. Horay for variety

[SebastienCade]

@catscanflyhigh

Yea this one really sucks, it's not like he travels all over Europe filling venues. Or even like he has a DVD out that thousands have bought. Go listen to Dane Cook and become a "good" comedian.

[catscanflyhigh]

@SebastienCade Lol im guessing the last comment was a joke. And being popular doesn't make you good, unless your defining good as having a sucessful career or earning money etc. I define a good comedian as one who makes me laugh.

[kiranraon]

@SebastienCade : dane cook and a "good" comedian.........theres a joke i can really laugh at !!!!!!

[kiranraon]

@SebastienCade aye....did read the whole conversation......i was laughing at that comment...the dane cook reference there was priceless timing :)

[SebastienCade]

@SebastienCade

Get over bashing him, I didn't realize you thought you were a comedian. That explains it, jealousy is a sucker.

[jake7x7]

@catscanflyhigh get a life ya little freak

[catscanflyhigh]

@jake7x7 Any more specific suggestions? "get a life" is a little vague and hard to follow up on.

[beamerball666]

wow I feel dumb it's my fourth time watching this 'cause I do watch it when I've had a particularly bad day and I just realized that's Dara doing his own intro

[steelix18]

what the fuk is this stupid show....stupid ass white trash....sub me

[valkyriesmastermind]

@steelix18 who are you calling you fuckingg niggerr Il staple you to a box and send yh back to fucking Africa.

[jwmulvay1]

He's fucking brilliant, and very intelligent too. I've seen a few commedians who appear great but when I saw them live, they were shit (Franky Boyle for one). But this guy is genuinely talented.

[Diamondkelz]

@jwmulvay1 Yeah I agree with you there; I thought Frankie Boyle's stand-up dvd was a huge disappointment because it was basically just a re-play of the jokes he had told on mock the week so they were old news

[ILIKEWALLS]

@jwmulvay1 how could you think franky boyle even appeared great?

he is barely even good on a panel show, all he has is pedophile jokes.

[beamerball666]

@jwmulvay1 Frankie isn't funny live? That's disappointing to hear

[teawesome]

@jwmulvay1 Fo' real? I've seen and sincerely enjoyed some of Frankie Boyle's live DVDs. What was disappointing about his life show?

[popazz1]

Highest rated comment,yup,it happened to me.Didn't find out for a week,too late by then,lol.

Anywho,Dara O'Briain,there's yer man,so he is.Comic genius.

[peticco]

I love the "Esso heckle"!

[MollyRayForever]

"pick n mix"

"fuck it you're right!"

HA HA

[armagheddonsgw2]

you guys realise he could just delete the post if he wanted? ;)

[JonnyLionMan]

@gawwy123 yeahhhh you've dug your own grave.

[Petrus921]

@gawwy123 That must be the best comment EVER!

[trisnjok]

damn, you people owned gawwy123...

[BananaSandwich1]

seems like a nice guy, although he could be a little slimmer

[Qwinkly3]

@BananaSandwich1 Not only does he have to be good at his JOB - being a COMEDIAN - to please you, now he has to lose a bit of WEIGHT, too? This would somehow improve his comedic material or his delivery? You're quite an ASS, aren't you? I suppose your body and face are PERFECT ?? And even if so, you OBVIOUSLY need to work on your CHARACTER, because you have shown yourself to be quite SHALLOW !

[XxSharkBatexX]

@Qwinkly3 You're right and I agree with you, but please, leave that Caps Lock alone! ;)

[2010jakethesnake]

no way i got that dvd last week and Dara O'Briain makes me feel glad be a and irish 14 year-old

[SuperOnlineCinema]

If you love Dara O'Briain like I do, you can check out his new DVD "This is the show" right now from my channel!

I uploaded it last night and I am not sure if it will remain there due to copyright infringement so watch it while its there!

Dara O'Briain = God

[GDG4ever]

*hiss hiss* *pause* Sorry, Doctor Who

[Greeny0Pwns]

@gawwy123 I'd be deeply upset if I were you.

[AnnatarYoung]

I love the fact that not only is Dara a fucking comedic genius but you can tell from alot of his material that he's a massive nerd too ;D

[MrPain331]

Brilliant Comedian, always willing and able to laugh at himself and works well this the audience and doesn't go about getting cheap jokes

[smrndoff]

I heard someone say to Dara once, '' Why do the Irish have grass so much greener than ours over here in England?'' To which Dara asked curiously, '' Please tell me.'' The man replied, '' Because they're are all over here walking on ours.''

What made the joke even funnier is that Dara accepted without a momen'ts hesitation that indeed Irish grass must be greener than English grass.

Which just goes to show that even very intelligent people can be utterly full of shite.

[Redheadfury]

@smrndoff That was Steven Fry on QI ;)

[pilonwenttolive]

@smrndoff You're talking like this is something you overheard, and not something on comedy television. That was on QI, and Stephen Fry was obviously setting up a joke. Indulging someone who is telling a joke (especially on a comedy panel show) is hardly being full of shite.

[ItsDov]

Watched it just last night but watching it again. This man is amazing, had me in stitches!

[lennic95]

I love how he says "feck" lmao

[StoopidSnot]

bloody hell, love this guy

my favorite comedian

[thewalls111]

Why cant the English pronounce his name right??

[mikebrightman]

@thewalls111 i say oh bree uhn

[godslayerno1]

@thewalls111 The answer is in the question:The English

[StylesDark]

seen this over 10 times and its still fucking awesome!

[DJJB10]

whats the name of the song he walks out to at the start...anyone please??

[hamlethamlet123]

gotta love dara

[uploader10041986]

@betover68 Leprechaun you illiterate xenophob.

[edgeypoosisepic]

@uploader10041986 Xenophobe*. sorry for putting a hole in your argument. I agree, though, all the same.

[gawwy123]

It must be annoying having one of the 'Highest rated Comments'. You'd keep on getting notifications of random people making a pointless comment at your post you made... 4 months ago.

[benbenbenb11]

@gawwy123 Now to make your comment the highest rated! mwahahahaha!

[CatchThePanda]

@benbenbenb11 and so are you! HA!

[benbenbenb11]

@CatchThePanda This could end up as an infinite loop of high rated-ness, but I've decided to make your comment the highest rated for helping to make my comment about the highest rated comment the highest rated.

[amgoD]

@benbenbenb11 Good job!

[willisafish]

@benbenbenb11 You sir, also made the same mistake.

[1337noobface]

@gawwy123 YES!

[Kaunte]

@gawwy123 I agree

[heeh2]

@gawwy123

I also agree.

[Kevashidaz]

@gawwy123 Agreed.

...see what I did there? :P

[eoinkelly139]

@gawwy123 I cant imagine how that would feel =P

[GDG4ever]

@gawwy123 I wouldn't know

.

U Mad, Bro?

[Hawkoon]

@gawwy123 or two months, like you've just done

[TigerXtrm]

@gawwy123 Oh the FUCKING irony :D

[x7VenGeaNcE7x]

@gawwy123 [pointless comment] Just cause i can :) [/pointless comment]

[RowanRawrLovesYou]

@gawwy123 how many people have sent this exact message just to piss you off?

[FcK2420]

@gawwy123 hi how are you? nice comment.

[TheGreatOldOnes]

@gawwy123 that must really suck

[theredqueen88]

@gawwy123 With love! :)

[OMGYoureOver9000]

@gawwy123 hihihihihihihihihihi!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!! XD

[gramurder]

@gawwy123 haha, you're a massai cock.

[cashmerde]

@gawwy123 i agree

[Clayguy101]

@gawwy123 yeah people making random posts on your post so anoying ;)

[WatchUProductions]

@gawwy123 Two months to go.

[amgoD]

@gawwy123 Hi, how are you doing?
