  • Hahahahahahah

  • He's cute as hell. I really can't believe he's not been in more shows. I suppose he's suffered from typecasting.

  • saw him in Perth for the first time. he seemed really humbled by the very positive response from the audience.

  • @beanobluesbreaker

    Perth in Oz or Scotland? If Oz, the oirish do act strange with too much hot weather. But if Perth in Scotland, he might have ate too much strawberries that day.

  • @beanobluesbreaker He probably had his luggage turn up

  • @beanobluesbreaker He probably had his luggage turn up

  • Yes he is soooo cute!

  • Wow, all these years and I've only just realised I didn't know his name xD He is a brilliant actor though (:

  • He's just brillant. :D

  • @gmdv I hope you're pronouncing this as he said it in the Father Ted show? Your post is pfbrilliant too :)

  • hes an Irish versian of Matt Le Blanc in Friends, Both play idiots in an awesum show, they even look a little a like and u cant take them seriously once uve seen their show XD

  • @Th3SDj I don't hate to say this so I'll say it: Don't even think of comparing 'Friends' to 'Father Ted'. Nothing personal. Just plain objective thought. :]

  • @ethericloopz fair enough i just really like both shows :L

  • @Th3SDj You would think that but he can put on a serious face. When I lived in Dublin I passed him a few times. I was going to work and he was bundling his kids into the car and his face was like thunder I had to do a double take.

  • he is a stuck up wanker though

  • ahh he's so adorable and sweet in father ted

  • ̿ ̿ ̿̿̿̿̿’̿’\̵͇̿̿\=(•̪●)=/̵͇̿̿/’̿̿ ̿ ̿ ̿ ̿ Shoot Justin Bieber

  • Every time I see that dude my brain screams DOUGAL, WE ARE NOT WATCHING ALIENS!!!!!

  • i'm putting together a collection of ireland's best comedians on my channel. all suggestions taken.

  • themed pub in every city!

  • so i see. parky is a brit anti irish cunt after all. got owned but still spewed the usual shite.

  • 2:33

    I fancy him :)

  • what a great man ^^

  • I loved him in My Hero. The earlier seasons were brill :D

  • I reallyreallyreallyreally LOVE Ardal :)

  • There's no spontaneity here ... he's regurgitating rehearsed lines.

  • he's so cute!!

  • OMG - He is so funny!! Great pairing, Ardal & Parkinson. Parkinson feeds him the material and he's off and running.

  • I <3 him ~

  • Even by Parkinson's standards, that was inane.

  • Comment removed

  • I feel I'm a dancer trapped in the body of a tree...

  • @97Johnfitz nah!1 Dermot Morgan can't be replaced by that lunatic.

  • what's the skip? I'm an american so I don't know these things lol

  • @SuperPeace1990 A skip is a big metal container that you put waste materials in to dispose of them. If you're getting work done on your house a skip comes in handy to get rid of all the rubbish. The skip is transported on the back of a truck.

  • @Acramveh oh thanks. It makes so much more sense now :)

  • A skip is a dumpster.

  • i just dont picture him other than dougal.wat a legend

  • He's so cool. Btw I love the Irish accent, doesn't sound dumb to me at all.

  • @CasimirFolskovic who said it was dumb

  • LOVE him

  • @spongiebungie

    Now he is on an irish comedy show called val falvey(thats him<----)

  • He usually plays the idiot but it takes true intelligence to pull it off convincingly

  • where is he now ?

  • Oh my god how handsome is he! Phooaaaarrrr!

  • i love him, I have always found him stunning!!

  • Yeap, just realised how gorgeous he is i mean really! ;))

  • wow I didn't realise just how gorgeous he is hmmmmm lol

  • XDDDD

  • this guy is terrific! Does he ever come over to the States?

  • ardal o hanlon is a teriibly underrated comedian

  • He did well on Father Ted.

  • @MorkaGraven ...I know i love my lovely horse and i also did a similar song called my lovely bike..unrated means he hasnt gained so much name like jim carrey which should have

  • lol "where have you gone!"

  • Realist91Feb, it's funny that when you talk about Ireland it was 'terrorism', but when you talk about England brutally slaughtering millions of people, it was 'for their own good'.

    England as a nation murdered and brutalised more people in history than any other country.

    And as for your idiotic remark about us all bowing to the pope in Rome, way to Stereotype, Ireland was a Catholic majority maybe 20 yrs ago, it IS NOT anymore. I'm Irish and i'm not a Catholic. Learn your facts.

  • It is a catholic majority you fool

  • @jaluna18 Grow up.

  • O'hanlon makes al murray look like shit,english comedians are crap

  • Ardal is kind of gorgeous...

  • "I suppose the English wanted to take over the world in the politest, possible way. While the Irish just wanted to have a good time!"

  • definately, if its something a catholic state knows how to do, apart from the opression, the abuse, the lies, the hypocrisy, the threatening of eternal damnation etc, its how to have a good time.

  • We are not a Catholic state we are just majority Catholic (but that is going to change)

  • For God's sake, lighten up you weirdo!

  • I think he's looking very healthy there, what age would he be in this interview? He's always grand for a good laugh, I like him. There's a thing in England where they just cant help being slightly patronising when they talk about other countries, they do it with Scotland too. I dont think its intentional.

  • Hey chill out you wallies!

    Ardal is simply gifted - what a wonderful interview.

  • Love the Irish, they are my favorite! How could you not be happy around that accent.

  • irish ftw :)

  • Don't know why!

    But dont you thinkii he is just a lil gorgeous ;) xx

  • good god people need to lighten up on this board, comedy gold and its turning into a nasty British Isles free for all, ive met the odd anti British Irishman but they are massively outnumbered by the fun loving Irish, after 'the hand of Henry' Ireland need people like Ardal to cheer them up, chin up lads

  • genius love that he goes off on a rambling off the top of his head tangent with the boy bands,,,,,,,typical irish humour

  • I LOVE DOUGAL!

  • i luv that guy !

  • God Bless Ireland

  • Ireland is to Britain what Canada is to the US. The smart, placid neighbour who'll politely indulge in our arrogance and imperialism, and contribute greatly to our comedy culture, but quite clearly - and rightly - shows us to be completely ridiculous.

  • you utter dic k. And the irish arent ridiculous? Using british inventions and british language and british progressions and british genius to live lifes that are unbeknown had they been left in their regressive state? Why do they act like a union country, take all the benefits of being british then have this cringeworthy mock "anti british" identity. Its like me calling my mother "oppressive". complaining about my pocket money, calling her a bitch then asking for my washing to be done.

  • your an utter dick this is you second comment of complant to ireland. in ireland we dont hate gays the chuch do and so does the church of england atleast we didnt blame them for floods or chemicully castrate them and the british made us learn their laugauge when queen elizbeth ruled we dont want to use it and yes we use british invention oh wait so does china and europe and america :O wow and british progression what british progression you cant even find a someone to lead u DUMBASS

  • its not the church if it was state law until 1993 tiny brain. C of e is much more progressive and liberal than that facist catholic nutcase whos your nations "spiritual leader", You dont "want" to use english? You get to use every modern media because u can speak and use it. What British progression? How about every damn invention created by man that improves your life, u knw like coming on the internet or using tv or getting on a train or every other function of evolved humanity.

  • Good god, you are so uptight and DULL. People like us, they don't like you. End of.

  • it a bit sad seeing something from the modern british generation still show hatred to ireland foe something they started while the new generation couldnt give a shit dont call me bloody childish you still listen to a queen we got ridof those century ago

  • rather listen to the Queen than a Nazi facist spouting bile from his den in Rome that you bow before.

  • okay, you sad sack of shit, being irish we are proud!, unlike you we dont sit and write shit about you country do we? just cause you are stuck in the mindset doesnt mean we are, go suck a lemon you pleb.

  • realist91feb

    we're all proud to be irish!! The English started every ounce of the conflict between ireland and england in the 19th century! Your all just to stuck up your own hole to admit it! You all still use pounds and kings and queens!!! live in the now!

    the likes of father ted... irish producers,actors,directors but yet it was given the 1996 best british comedy award!! Ireland never get a look in with you fucking stuck up cunts who we must unfortunaetly be neighbours with!FUCK YOU!

  • you're a moron

  • You're right the pope is a twat. But so is the queen. They're both well-intentioned twats but why do u favour the queen.

    On the one hand you have the pope who lies to children for a living and on the other a queen who makes a mockery of democracy in Britain.

    Fuck them both!

  • she doesnt make a "mockery" of democracy. she reads out the plans of every elected government that arrives under her. The queen doesnt spout any bile about certain people going to "hell" or delude africans that condomns dont help prevent disease or pretend people of her church can be "sainted" because theyve performed "miracles". The Queen is accountable to democratic will, if the british people no longer wanted her then shed go, there is no affront to democracy.

  • started conflict? every evolved nation was an empire from the Romans to the USA today. Britain at least had the decency to invent everything humanity takes for granted now like every great sport, the world wide web, the train, the tv, penicillin, discover the truth about out species history and evolution. Oh yes, if it wasnt for us you would still believe some dik in a dress sat in Rome who told u the world was created in 7 days and the Earth revolved around the sun, u must be so proud.

  • and we tolerated your support of murderous terrorism well into the 1990s. If wed been the USA wed have re-invaded your pointless republic with our eyes closed.

  • its funny the way the british invented all these things and are yet still one of the most hated nations in the world. And yeah i am proud to be irish, as a nation as small as we are with only 5.5 million as a population when really theres about a million immigrants which makes 4.5 million irish citizens we're doing better than most of the world in terms of the music industry,the sporting industry,agriculture and the movie industry. fuck you and your country

  • "hated" by who? The women that left your pathetic catholic cess pit to get tolerance in britain? the gay people that came here for the same reason? the children that were sent here to prevent further abuse? The peoples of Europe who were saved from the end of humanity in the 1940s because our island stood up to facism while yours gutlessly didnt? Or by envious, pathetic irish twats like yourself who try and pretend u dont owe every facet of ur modern life to Britain and her genius?

  • pathetic irish twats like yourself who try and pretend u dont owe every facet of ur modern life to Britain and her genius?

    cool, another pathetic british guy who thinks britain is gods gift. we owe nothing to britain. as for ireland gutlessely styaing out of WW2, we're a neutral nation you fool, and the people of europe were not saved by the british. if it wasnt for the soviets, and americans, and hitlers poor decisions, ye wud have lost.

  • @mustainerulesxx you owe "nothing"? How about what youre using now, the world wide web? The worlds finest language? The television? the train? penicillin? the knowledge of our species development via Darwins genius? EVERY facet of your modern lifestyle you owe to Britains genius, you have progressed our species nowhere, youve invented nothing but cowardly terrorism and now you cant even indulge in that because the americans have experienced it and wont support you anymore.

  • so what do i owe to britain? what do i do to payback britain? quit being a fucking idiot, and stop talking shit about inventions. americans and japanese have made important inventions too. and as i said, gifted brit individuals made those inventions. yer nation as a whole is scum. do u think drawin talked shit about irish people on d net? no.

  • worlds finest language? we only use it cos ye invaded our coutnry and murdered our people, which brings me to u saying that ireland only brought cowardly terrorism? bloody sunday 1972? bloody sunday 1920? were they brave heroic british actions? cowardly is the word. back to yer language, its not the wordls finest language, and impractically fluent in irish and irish is actually a much nicer language than english.

  • @mustainerulesxx it sums you trahs up that all you have is "bloody sunday" as if it was some massive event. What about bloody friday and saturday and monday and tuesday and all the other days the cowardly scum of the IRA killed women and animals and children because they were too gutless to take on the british army face to face? Id have LOVED to see how the US would have dealt with you if theyd been in our position, theyd have anialated you without a care, im disgusted by our appeasement.

  • haha ur a real idiot if u think the british only slaughtered innocent people on bloody sundays. ye murdered irish people around our country whatever day it was. and again with the ra blowing up kids, the ira doesnt represent ireland or our goverment, so therefore i dont see how thats worse than your queen and government sending sldiers to murder teenage boys in 1972, and innocent men women and children all over ireland in the early 20th century.

  • @realist91feb

    the fuck?

  • you're hilarious!! do you do parties?

  • "the worlds finest language" whats that?

  • @mustainerulesxx if britain hadnt bravely fought the Nazis when the end of humanity was becoming and God asked his peoples to fight the right fight then you wouldnt even be able to breath fresh air. Gutless irish republicans, colluding with the Nazis, sending Germany condolence letters on the defeat and death of Hitler, what SCUM you turned out to be when history called for democracy and rule of law and other great british traits to be defended from Nazi tyranny.

  • realist91feb

    You have problems!

  • @realist91feb i know its an old post, but the earth does revolve around the sun.

  • dear god your sad give it a rest you hate the irish yet you went on a video of an irish interview which has nothing to do with what the fuck your on about and i dont bow to nazi in rome those are catholics which i am not im an athiest i beleave in my own way which involves the same god but in a different view beside reading a bed time story and told to obey it your just hear to argu about anything because you sad and your parent never hugged well im going to cure you

    *splashes love*

  • dear are 2 kinds of people in this world irish pepele and people that wish day where  irish

  • The Irish are the funniest people on the planet.

    Also, what's with all the war talk? It was just a comedy sketch for this interview, get over it. If you take every word you hear in life serious, we'll end up like America.

  • @eLIPHAS3333 Funny how, like clowns?

  • @eLIPHAS3333 anything but America!!

  • @eLIPHAS3333 : you said it man !

    Their the salt of the earth.

    Parky loves the Irish, the way they speak, their rebel attitude etc...

  • Why is Parkinson such an ass kissing fool. His fake laugh is pathetic.

  • I wish Esther Rantzen would get her teeth out of the fecking way, I can bearly see a thing!

  • ireland too wanted to take over the worls ,ut there army was shit

  • No they didn't. So fuck up.

  • We did take over the world... It's called the diaspora... Guerilla warfare and infestation.... we didn't need any special black and tans army...

  • @neverfarrell

    I can't remember who said it but the Irish took over the world by breeding haha..a much more peaceful way don't you think?

  • @LordGuinness : well said !

  • Ireland, too, wanted to take over the world, but their army was shit.

    I don't agree. That, however, was what he was trying to say.

  • Any country that has the capability to dominaite other countrys will do so,its been like that since the dawn of time and it hasnt changed,britain had the capability to dominaite in that era so the did do.Ireland did not

  • Nothing to do in your lunchtime? Why not invade another country, try ethnic cleansing or genocide... There's always subjugation of a people if you have more time - introduce slavery, engineer a famine...

  • the irish arnt like the otheir people in the world we try to enjoy live while all the otheir idoitic country fuck it up

  • the IRA didnt try to take over any country they were a pile of farmers that volunteered to fight to defend the land

    we didnt go to afganistan or iraq looking around saying

    we are currently look for weapons of mass destruction but every were we look we keep finding oil

  • lol soldiers from the rep of ireland were involved in both the iraq war and are currently involved in the afghan war and thats a fact!

  • ya but england failed and ireland won the war

  • ya your army constanly getting killed in war while one soldier in the irish army die once every 10 year going across the road

  • because he lets people talk thats why. He's one of the true greats of the interview game.

  • In the description: "Free clip from the british talk show Parkinson"

    Are they gonna start charging us? :S

  • all depends if they want millions of people to stop using youtube - i'll be one

  • same here man

  • i think they would like to.. suprise suprise. lol

  • I think the point is that normally you'd need to pay the licence fee. Plus there is such a thing as the parkinson dvd. Why you would want it is beyond me but still.

  • I love Irish accents.

  • what a legend!

  • Father Ted is quality.

  • quite a silence on that america quote, but somebody had to bloody say it. nice one

  • LOL....it's funny right in the beginning, when asked if there are differences between England and Ireland, (kind of a dumn question) Ardal very sublty gives him the middle finger while scratching his ear!

  • Ardal is dreamy, and funny! Love him!

    I used to watch My Hero a bunch, but they kept re-airing the same episodes, so after awhile I just stopped. I didn't really like George Monday. (Not so cute, and too cheeky for my liking. )

  • I love Ardal !!!
