Dara O'Briain at Apollo - Controlling Children

[AnnatarYoung]

Proper Ork WAAAGGHH! there XD

[sarsfield1998]

I AM THE MAN!

[Arhtass]

I wish somebody would upload the full performance on Youtube. Can't find it anywhere on the internet :( It used to be here, but it was removed

[bearthings]

Top class .Could watch and liston all day.

[ebeneezzer]

EERRRRRRRRR

[tekqist28]

Funniest thing ever, XD

[spuds184]

When I saw this on tv I actually pissed myself laughing 0_0. Just thought I'd share that.

[frodijr]

1:32 You're welcome!

[MartinJWillett]

I can really empathize with Dara on this one as I too am a solidly built man over six foot tall and I get this shit from incompetent mothers all the time. One day I will just snap and give the mother (or sometimes grandmother) a piece of my mind. Look after and discipline your own children and tell them WHY something is wrong and don't just say some strange man will be annoyed for no good reason.

[timothyw98]

Its a harsh joke to make when it has a meaning that compares to shaken baby syndrome. A children being shaken and slammed around. Not funny when the real actually happens in society

[TheDarkTrooper]

@timothyw98 oh fuck off

[adelaidebliss]

@timothyw98 I think he's shaking the pretend crayons... not the kid.

[Urchino1337]

@timothyw98 Its called a "Joke" for a reason. If u cant take it, get the fuck of the internet.

[CapriShazz]

@Urchino1337 GO ON DAVE SON

[VpOsiris]

Yaaay go retards repeat what you heard in the video as your comment.

[looneyirish007]

and its nice to hear the english go mad for him,

you do us proud Dara

[XNIXMOCKERSXNIX]

I AM THE MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol so funny

[edimac2011]

I AM THE MAN!!!

[equallyeasilyfuqyou]

YOU WERE WARRRRRNNNNED

[Grendil3]

I AM THE MAN !!!!! LoL

[DanielleDailyVlog]

LOL! My friend just showed me this after today's vlog was me ranting about being called "the lady"! :P

[MegaAdam1000]

FEAR THE MAN!!!

Love it. XD

[EragonFiresword]

I wonder who's now scared of him more, the mother or child?

[lelli28xxx]

LMFAO HAHAHAHA LOVE IT XD

[resistanceunion]

the punch line just comes like an atom bomb .

[RavenSidhe]

Ugh this happens when mothers bring the kids into work... Although for me it's

"Stop it! Stop now look the lady is going to get upset" or something of the like... -.-

[Untiedanimation]

@RavenSidhe I have exactly the same problem!

I do love this sketch though. Seen it so many times now, and never get tired of it!

[pLali95]

YOU WERE WARNED!!!!

[UlsterLoyal72]

ahhh i cant breath , sooo funny!!

[ganderman1000]

I Love good owl Dara.

[MetalSiicken]

FEAR THE MANNN!!!!

[andyscoot43]

People do this to me at work. Fucks me off no end.

[catscanflyhigh]

Repetition and shouting... The highest forms of comedy...

[WeirdBlueOne]

It's not so much the line, "FEAR THE MAN!!", but how he slams the child about and then kicks him offstage that got me.

[Studmuffindk]

@WeirdBlueOne To me it's more the '' YOU WERE WARNED '' and then he goes '' WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH '' as he shakes the kid around. Friggin' hilarious

[MissStephie1013]

This has happened to me at work before (and I'm female so it's not just the guys lol)

[ZarlanTheGreen]

My relatives do this. The fact that they're not strangers doesn't make it any less infuriating.

[ebeneezzer]

Warrington bomber

[angus1878]

anyone got any footage of him being funny

[alisonlescott]

HAHAHAHAHAH OMG I CHOKED!

[Soundfrequency]

"When did I become the bad guy in this situation?"

I suppose it was when you took the leading role in Despicable Me, Dara :I

[tuber110011]

YOU WERE WARNED! I AM THE MAAAAAAANNNN RAAA *shakes kid, slams him on the ground, kicks him to a distance* anytime you need a hand!- hilarious!

[siothegr8]

YOU WHERE WARNED! eee god his face made me piss a river!

[irockhard520]

I'm crying it's that funny hahahaha :')

[purplesky001]

I went to one of his gigs, and I came out with a sore belly. I'm sure I lost 5 pounds that evening. I didn't stop laughing for about 2 and a half hours!

[LuckynumberSlevin11]

1:40 - genius

[taffwob]

He reminds me of the late great Dave Allen in this bit. No offence meant to either comedian, but I could see him doing this skit.

[purpleapple12345]

Ha!!!Love him:D

[unknownb5b5]

Lololololol

[starscreamgal]

23 kids were warned by the MAAAANNN!!!!

[betover68]

shirley this shit can't be funny

[yourmum739]

@betover68 it is funny....and don't call me shirley

[jammidodgaa]

@yourmum739 lol..thats a gd one ^^

[ClareGirl81]

@yourmum739, LMAO!!

[DanteCorwyn]

Saw him myself last Sunday and he was brilliant. Unfortunactly he didn't do this sketch, probably cause 1), he's got a kid of his own now, and 2)someone had brought their 10 year old son with them. Dara was going to do him a glossary to explain some of the very interesting words the kid would have heard.

[Superxme212]

@DanteCorwyn AMG I WAS AT THAT SHOW TOO :D

[LazyScott99]

@StylesDark where do you get he has a 10 year old son from? Surely it wasn't because someone said "someone had brought their 10 yr old"

[StylesDark]

@LazyScott99 ooooh i compelety miss read that.... *fail face*...

[rainbowangel58]

@DanteCorwyn What would possess someone to bring their ten year old to a DARA O'BRIAIN show? :P

[JDLupus]

@DanteCorwyn I saw Tim Minchin at a festival recently... there was a bunch of 10-12 years olds sitting at the front like there was going to be a clown on stage. Long story short... Tim did The Pope Song.

[kirafaye]

They used to do that to me when i was a checkout operator.

[jcrawley1]

@kirafaye Did you go over?

[kirafaye]

@jcrawley1 After standing on my feet for 10hrs after being at uni all day - nup. Wish I had the balls to say to the parents - learn to discipline yourself don't make me do it.

[woodshopart]

feckin hilarious!

~lox

[coltsuperocean10]

Is it just me, or did anyone understand what he was saying?

[VitriolXandakas]

@coltsuperocean10 I did, and my native language is greek :)

[Fitzomeara]

@coltsuperocean10 of course evreyone did. piss off

[Dufflad101]

That happened to me 2 days ago, I got the "I don't feckin like you at all" look off the kid

[Obsidiax]

Hahaha I can remember my mum saying stuff like that when I was younger XD Dara is a fantastic comedian, one of my all time favourites :)

[ShortstuffC]

Is aoibhinn liom an fear seo, Ta se go h-iontach ar bhfad! Nil a fhios agam chunas na ``fada`s`` a chur ar an rud seo, Ta bhron an domhain orm :)

[willkillyoulast]

@ShortstuffC Dear lord...I'm Irish too, but ALL I got from that is 'I'm sad' hahaha. There's commitment, eh?

[SageY91]

YOU WERE WARNED!!!!!!

[64awsomeness]

I AM THE MAAAN!! FEAR THE MAN!!! Hahaha, hilarious!

[keltyk]

that's true- i was passing a youngish grandma with her female grandchild- i heard her chastise the kid (intentionally so i would hear)-  'stop spitting- men spit'- (she obviously hadn't taken a good look at our coarse local females here in Fife- scotland- a lot of whom love a good spit- but yes- i wasn't happy being used as a model of wrongness by some bigoted uber-dyke granny

[ELMcADAM]

@keltyk Uber-Dyke lmaoooo

[Shastania]

going to see him live this Thursday- FRONT ROW!!!!

[PKBitchGirl]

I quite like Dara, at least he's funny and not shite like Pat Shortt

[kingkarlone]

Pat Shortt never made me laugh, and the D'Unbeilievables wasn't that good, Morecambe and Wise were better.

[xXAloeVeraxX]

"Or the man...will come..."

[missrandomgirl96]

lmfa he is hiirlous like hell

[lilacpilgrim13]

I'm a fairly short, unimposing young woman and I get used to threaten children I don't know.

"Put those sweets back or the lady will get you."

"Stop all that noise - if you don't stop that noise the lady will steal your toys!"

"The lady won't like it if you eat those sweets before your dinner."

"If you don't stop messing with that the lady will get you in your sleep."

I'm a bit worried. Am I really that scary?

[Cyrathil]

""If you don't stop messing with that the lady will get you in your sleep." [. . .] Am I really that scary?"

I'd be more worried about the fact that you're the boogeyman now. Then again, who else can say they've been turned into a bedtime story?

[PKBitchGirl]

Someone in one of my LJ comms said a mother threatened her kids with "the lady"

She said she told the kid "your mom's a liar because she's too lazy to control you"

[Critchy39]

I'm seeing him in April, i can't wait

[smudzi]

his face at 1:37 is so good

[Maksimov1337]

I AM THE MAAAN AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHHA­HAHAHAAAA!

Anytime you need a hand darling!

ROFLCOPTER!

[nick191092]

[Maksimov1337]

@nick191092

Rofl - roling on the floor and laughing

Copter - just a simple adjective to add to the end making it sound better ;)

Kind of like lolcake :)

[iainmacdonaldTV]

[Kyyuu77]

Hes very clever, Targets contempory issues within society with meaning, and turns them on there head. I.E patriachal society as proposed by feminists, using a man as a role model. ect ect

[Maevexox1]

[JaceValm]

[30Ciaran]

[4alloulou]

[EoinLfc09]

Yeah this happens all the time- my 4 year old brother now fears the man

[pfalky2k]

and right it is too. the MAAAN! is to be feared! lol

[HardWiredGaming]

He's right - I've had this shit happen to me. Worse yet, I was at work at the time, and in uniform - and I was ready to risk my job to tell the stupid bint to get bent.

Such stupid people these days. We need more of this guy.

[21stCenturyVengeance]

That happened to me yesterday when I was at work

[adlucem5]

ROFLMAO, I'm a mom, and I've never pulled that, but I can see it happening some moms are such big chickens. Too funny!

[Blackpanfa]

[hiddendragon6437]

[weezl2009]

[alien8ted]

When a woman tried that stunt on me I looked at the misbehaving kid, smiled and shook my head so he knew it wasn't gonna happen.

[COMALiteJ]

Dara's funny and all, but I hope the Apollo paid him well for this.

Considering that they apparently couldn't afford a replacement light bulb at the bottom of the middle "O" of their sign...

[godlypvp]

or just maybe it went durin the show -.-

[FFFUUUCCCKKKEEEDDD]

COMAlite if you watch the Dara O'Briain Live at the Apollo 1/4 you see the bulb working at about 5:53 at then it cuts away when it cuts back at about 5:59 its out ,hope this clears up the mystery of the not working bulb .

[MIZZPINEAPPLE67]

[foook111]

[octoberrust85]

The word 'troll' was made for you.

If you don't like what's in the video, don't watch it and certainly don't feel the need to comment on it; just move on to the next Pussycat Dolls vid.

Simple really, like your good self.

*Brick Top mode ON*

Now fuck off.

[youbecame]

Im sorry; What the *actual* fuck does that even say?

[youbecame]

I'm never happy. I just occasionally stop grimacing. Suffice it to say that your profound elabouration did not achieve this.

[cr7ka]

it text....stop talkin 2 me...

[PKBitchGirl]

@ cr7ka

Text is for text messages, not for the internet.

And according to your profile, you're 24. Oh my god, that's pathetic, why are you talking like a little teenage skanger?

[PKBitchGirl]

@ cr7ka

You make me ashamed to be Irish

[swagsy14]

He is a master in the art of improvisational comedy, or more commonly known as banter with the audience. Naturally funny, but armed with crisp, intelligent and ball-achingingly hilarious material.  A joy to watch - swagsy14 'The Comedy Snob'

[poiklm]

Your definition of improvisational comedy is bizarre; there are other comedians out there who are better off the top of their head.

'Interviewing' the audience is guaranteed to lead to easy laughs, any good comedian can pull it off reasonably. Genuinely improvising, and running with an idea is something else entirely.
