This was, in my humble opinion, a class A+++++ comedy. No obscenity, no insult or humiliation of another person, many complex and thought provoking twists and turns of the mind, and most successful elevation of the heart and elicitation of belly laughs all around. Thanks Omid for a most intelligent comedy delivery.
I once served him in a bank that I worked in. Absolute gentleman, he was so chuffed that I recognised him and did'nt ask for ID when he cashed a cheque.
I think it's based off an old joke, something like "My grandad was telling me about these new memory pills he takes. He told me "They're really good, i can't remember what they're called. What's the name of that flower? With red petals?" "A gyranium?" "nono, the other one, with the horns" "A Rose?" "that's it..a rose...ROSE??? WHAT ARE MY MEMORY PILLS CALLED?"
I immediately thought how that joke could translate into Czech...and I'd use řůže/Růža (rose/Rose - that's the only plant-based name that works in Czech. Not Ivy, Petunia...not even Margaret.)
To be a distinguished comedian is one thing, to perform like that in less than 7 minutes coming up with something which could be watched over and over again making you laugh each time, is another thing!
We spent 10 years looking for Bin Laden. We scoured 27 countries looking for Bin Laden. We spent £2 Billion Pounds looking for Bin Laden, Where did we find him?? IN HIS HOUSE
Haha lol yeah should've guessed that....he ain't a Pakistani but we shoulda guessed that Haha... he was trained by the us but we shoulda guessed that hahahaha
shahmir zaman dude, he was literally next to the US military base in Pakistan, (like a mile away) and next to the Peshwar military training academy (like Pakistan’s west point). Also the Pakistani military created the Taliban which, though not the Al-Queda (which Osama was the leader of), was still a major ally. Moreover Pakistan consistedly funded the Taliban who were often contained to have funded the Al Queda. Not to mention that the US armed the Mujahadeen, who then splintered into the Al Queda, who then splintered creating a civil war that Najibullah lost. Moreover, the Afghans were fighting communists and asked for help in defending against the Soviet advanced. If the US had not provided support, the nation would have been blamed for its inaction in allowing for the rise of a different type of totalitarian regime. Lastly, in terms of why it was obvious he was in Pakistan and in that location was that his house was always guarded with armed men, it was the largest house not just in the town but also in the entire peshawar region, and it was often reported for its incredibly suspicious activity.
Truly fascinating Mr. Djalili, humor is a universal language... it allows me to see the lighter and brighter part of Iran when all the rest of the world says otherwise! Let us celebrate humanity!
He couldve been big if he had more jokes but as I've watched almost everything he has online it was all same jokes repeated over and over again nonetheless great jokes and I like him alot but it's like Arie Spears, same damn jokes every set since his youth.
From nothing to being personally selected by British royalty, yet he remains humble and has never sold out. Rare breed. Bravo Sir. As highly as you're rated, you're still underrated.
This man is not just a stand up comedian. He is also a brilliant serious actor. I am thinking of the one-man play (written by his wife Annabel Knight) 'A Strange Bit of History'. I will never forget this performance.
@@ahmedetemadi3434 Oh gosh - it must have been in the early 90s - 1994/5 maybe? Shortly after KOMEDIA in Brighton opened in Manchester Street in 1994 - it must have been in the first or second year of its existence.
@@ahmedetemadi3434 Yes - it was quite brilliant. I now also remember seeing his comic act the evening before - when I just happened to walk into the venue, and having a free evening, went to see Omid's show. I knew nothing of him, so I just took a chance. I was so impressed that I came back the next evening to see the play. Some things leave a deep impression. You asked why it was so good: It is a one-man play - but Omid's skill to move from one character to the other is remarkable. It felt as if I were watching a play with many different actors. The timing, too, was impeccable.
As an Iranian myself, I can confirm this really is what it's like being Iranian. I applied for a visa to visit two years ago and the application was denied because I have British and Iranian nationality xD I love Omid sm, he is not afraid to make light of the political situation we are all in. That is the kind of humour we need sometimes
Spot on, flawless impeccably classic...the old guy not only forgot where he went for his holiday but even forgot his wife's name too...and how tactically he tries to remember her name😆😆😆
I think I watched this 20 times and i still rolling on the ground laughing . Well done great performance , lovely character, clean and meaningful jokes
Last time I watch this video was last week, first time I watch this video was nearly 2 years ago, within last 2 years God knows how many times I have watch this video anytime I watch it seem it's a first time I am watching it:))
With all due respect, can’t you just shut the f@&k up and enjoy the comedy and keep your stupid opinion about other countries to yourself???? Thank you
Omid Djalili is great , simply a wonder. Most of all we are profoundly happy and amazed with Prince Charles and his wife's simplicity . If only if Prince Charles would have the absolute monarch of Britain , we would see a far better Britain .Lots of Love from Dhaka Bangladesh.
OMG thank God. After a long time , probably months of searching funny stand ups I actually find someone really funny who resorts to humour without nonsense and not so much swearing .
watched it over 50 times and I still find it extremely funny. this bit should be shown in acting, writing,whatever schools they got for this profession
It gets me there every time with all the new re-watching I get up to after any small brief duration. This man is beyond funny when some serious jokes just sneak up on you and you realise you hadn't internized them all with that excellent performance that ties down the delivery. It hurts sometimes when this happens
I have lost count the number of times I have watched this, and every time it gets better and better !! Superb timing and phraseology. The best is about the delphiniums.
This was, in my humble opinion, a class A+++++ comedy. No obscenity, no insult or humiliation of another person, many complex and thought provoking twists and turns of the mind, and most successful elevation of the heart and elicitation of belly laughs all around.

Wasn't that funny. Maybe keep opinions to yourself.

Precisely correct!
Very clean, very professional, very topical, perfectly tailored for the audience. Omid still got it.
Pretty sharp.
Cound not be more agreed
you technically stupid
In short, definitely not American comedy
Also......
Very average
I once served him in a bank that I worked in. Absolute gentleman, he was so chuffed that I recognised him and did'nt ask for ID when he cashed a cheque.
A friend of mine is asking
haw much in 'is acunt?
Fyi we are NOT nigerians eee
@@TheMacrobianSomali brilliant, you nailed it.
good job, you made your decision
You should have asked for his ID. After he asks why, you should have said, "I MADE MY DECISION"
Peter Tunks: Oh Oh... you handed over Omid's money to a brilliant impressionist.
“I haven’t got time for your applause” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Why what did I do ?
Well, am afraid you have to bear with me for I MADE MY DECISION!!!
I'm ethnically Iranian, but I was born and raised in the UK.
So, technically that makes me Ukrainian!
PYM JBZ That got a belly laugh from me! 😂😂😂
That is an old joke.. not funny anymore..
It's spelled UKranian! A minor difference that can be missed.
😂😂
Scrolled down the comment section be watchin the video . Now the fun is gone
😕
Intelligent humor without any profanities. Brilliant, mate!
Lol no profanities with the Royals.
I wish he'd do more comedy without profanity.
Max, look at his audience.
What's the fucking problem with profanities?
There should be some kind of standard for comedy without profanities
I think i'm watching this for the tenth time and i still find it hilarious.
we got the same surname. :) Don't know if related or not.
Could it possibly be because you've made your decision ?
I made my decision to wait over a year to make this statement.
Same here, its hilarious everytime you watch it.
Same
Me also
Omid at his finest. Murdered it in front of Prince Charles and the London audience. Fantastic set.
4:30
That "Ivy" joke was priceless :-D
That was a great joke. I love this guys material.
Lol that was gold
I think it's based off an old joke, something like "My grandad was telling me about these new memory pills he takes. He told me "They're really good, i can't remember what they're called.

You did it wrong. They followed through with their decision 😵
Yes you made a good one
shazlfc ronaldo Hahahaha
Who are the people who gave thumbs down for this tight, spotless act??
Kardashians?
THEY HAVE MADE THEIR DECISION
Downers. It's the usual 2-5% of morons in any crowd. They can't help it, have some empathy. Men in white coats are on the way.
Soul S. Aha they made there decision
@@Mrbobinge then keep politics OUT, he should have known better, the idiot.
😂
Very solid set - no weak jokes at all👏👏😁
Jermaine Long except for the first 5 minutes
The one about making noises when you’re older is a Billy Connolly classic.
To be a distinguished comedian is one thing, to perform like that in less than 7 minutes coming up with something which could be watched over and over again making you laugh each time, is another thing!
Really unbelievable to fit that many jokes!!
The best, no swearing, non offensive, you can watch with the family, even HRH is laughing, this is real comedy
We spent 10 years looking for Bin Laden. We scoured 27 countries looking for Bin Laden. We spent £2 Billion Pounds looking for Bin Laden, Where did we find him??

Between the moment they made their decision to capture him and the moment they found him, not enough arsenal had been made and sold...
This is perfect. No profanity, pure and intelligent comedy.
Seen him live 2 years ago, nearly popped a testicle laughing so much!!
Popped a testicle? Should I ask 'whose?'
One of the best routines ever , Omid you nailed it man! Respect from Ireland 🇮🇪
Brilliant.. Polished and clean and delivered fantastically

Got a genuine laugh out of Prince Charles at his expense. Omid's a master.
His humour is so intelligent and refined a talented comic he should have been much bigger
He's not dead yet
He couldve been big if he had more jokes but as I've watched almost everything he has online it was all same jokes repeated over and over again nonetheless great jokes and I like him alot but it's like Arie Spears, same damn jokes every set since his youth.
I think he has lost weight!

I watched this a dozen times, such funny and clean comedy is rare and hard to find. Thanks, Omid Djalili.
he is really a world class comedian.

Omid killed it here. I laughed so hard my cheeks hurt.
I swear the Kardasian joke was so relatable... I felt like that every time I used to watch it couple years ago.
What a great guy ..
BRILLIANT. ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT, AND NOT ONE CURSE WORD.
Excellent Omid. Jokes were spot on, well delivered and my favourite was ' talking to the flowers bit', Charles was really laughing.
The flowers were talking to him? Send this man to the nut house! No , not the funny farm - he doesn't need that.

The best piece of comedy i've watched in some time!
Omid Djalili , I´m terribly grateful for your wisdom and humour. I/we, love you, terribly!
This man is my favorite comedian...no one comes close in stand up comedy
Loved his performance/character in *"The Mummy"* . I didn't know he was also a stand up comedian, holy shit. He is fantastic!
Probably the best standup comedy I have seen. Thanks, Omid.
