TH-cam suddenly started recommending Dara's videos, so I've been watching as much as possible. He must have made at least 23 cents from me in the last 24 hours
I saw Dara at the Lowry Theatre, Salford. He was working his way along the front row, up until the intermission, when he looked at the rest of the row and told them he would be "picking" on them after the break. After said break, as we all returned to our seats I could see there was discussion going on among the people of the first row and they all exchanged places with each other. News of this spread through the audience and as Dara returned to the stage, we were all fit to burst with anticipation. The look of total confusion on his face as he looked down at who should have been a new victim - only to be confronted by someone he had already joked with, was priceless. The audience erupted as poor Dara realised what had happened AND that the entire audience was in on the gag. He said it was the best joke an audience had ever played on him.
This is true when he said it but it's no longer true because we have found more helium in the ground. It I'm not 100% sure on all the details but if I remember correctly we have helium for decades now.
I own every live show Dara's done on DVD, and I saw him once in 2018 so I've seen all these. Still happy to watch them in whatever clip form they get put into though as the man is an absolute genius and one of my heroes
He's brilliant, he can think so fast on his feet. I mean hebhas a degree in maths from trinity college in Dublin so he's definitely smart, but he's SO sharp.
This video probably got more laughs per minute from me than most others I've watched recently. I'd forgotten just how good Dara is (sorry about the third-person reference-I'm assuming with the general toxicity of TH-cam comments he doesn't bother reading them, but if you do, Dara, hi!) at extemporised, audience-inspired material. Clever and erudite but always warm, never nasty. Hecklers stand no chance. :)
From the States: Ya left out the part where "the controversial" thing *did* in fact raise a "hoo haw". Something about building on, I think "designated green spaces" on the outskirts of London. Something like that, anyway. I don't think it "split the room". There was little support for him, if I remember right. No guarantee that I do. I watched that special a couple of yrs ago. 😁
Fairies mine it deep In The earth and bring the light up on lifts and give it to other elves that run up the wall and shake their little arse 😂😂😂😂 omg I’m dying !!
Dara's Carrer (?), probably does needs a carer with that massive head and suddenly not sitting down and buzzing and everything.! :-) Missing the XMAs-Mocks, a crapper world since.... 😐
Dear Dara. (Don’t take this the wrong way, because I’m enjoying every second.) Is there a reason you never speak to any women in the audience? Just curious…. (Don’t worry, most of us will be fine…)
I would imagine he can't have the banter, as he would only be speaking as an outsider, but that's a good question. I think he has, though, but maybe he felt it's inauthentic. I'm obviously not him, but I reckon he's a busy chap, although, he no longer has a week to mock!😂
In fairness, as we saw in these clips, the choice can be random as the punters themselves 'pick' the next victim. I wouldn't mind it myself, you might be a fool for a few moments, but by the end he does have you elevated for having given everyone a good laugh.
Judy…pay no attention to the idiots….are they from the U.S.?….I watched a video recently…the word “occasion” was used….the reactor wanted to know what that word meant🙄
I thought the title said, 'Funniest moments from Dara O'Briain's career'. I thought, wow, this is going to be a really short video; I will be able to watch it in between breaths.

Double that, same here and loving it
Same… 🤔 not complaining though.
Did you think that these were his only source of income?
@@josephinemonahan915 obviously nobody thinks that. I'm wondering why you're the first person in 7 months to think that was what I meant

that is genius and hilarious 🎉🎉😂😂❤❤
that is beautiful!
I love the way he just takes a thought and gallops along for five minutes while his victim just melts...
I've been watching Dara since 2006. The guy is a very underrated Stand up. Absolute Genius of comedy
Underrated?…..
No one is better working the audience than Dara. These are always hilarious.
No matter how often I see these clips, they never get old. A comic genius 😂😂😂
"...well, that was the last of the f...ng helium!" - just kills me every time! )))))))))))
And him apparently 😂
This is true when he said it but it's no longer true because we have found more helium in the ground. It I'm not 100% sure on all the details but if I remember correctly we have helium for decades now.
Speaking as a chemist, this is still an issue.
@@armankharas3500it’s kind of mad that something so important is allowed to be wasted on balloons and people wanting squeaky voices 😂
@@eirebhoy132 Agreed. Use sulfur hexafluoride if you want to change your voice with a gas.
he has brilliant banter with his audiences in every show,he is always right on top of it

Still insanely funny. We have all his shows on dvd and have seen him live three times so far.
ENVY!!!
i miss Mock the Week. Dara Ó Briain is genius.
I fking love that electrician bit, the electricity fairies! Dara is a national treasure.
Thrilled that I have got to see his show twice in Bergen. Hope he comes back again. Would be fun to sit in the front row!
So brilliant with his crowd work.
In case you could not make out the name of the game, it was "curry goat revenge".
Dara works the crowd better than any other comedian I’ve ever seen!
He's brilliant, he can think so fast on his feet. I mean hebhas a degree in maths from trinity college in Dublin so he's definitely smart, but he's SO sharp.
Thank you Dara.❤
He picks on his victims so nicely.

I literally laughed out loud the whole way through, he is brilliant 🤣
This was comedy gold as always Dara! I hope we get to see more of these in 2024! I hope you have a cracking Christmas Mo Chara 👍
Saw Dara live and he’s just hilarious 😃 looking to go again next year
AC or DC?
Yes, I like that band.
Just superb! 😅
one of my fave of dara's shows
Brilliant!
20:18 This was the exact wrong moment to take a sip out of my cup, lemme tell you.
Love your comedy. Do you ever come to the US?
NYC at the end of January! Just got my tickets!
@@maureenoshea1227 I'll be scuba diving or I'd check into going!
have a happy new year Dara

Funny fellow…..seen you on the back of bus here in Canada.🚌😀👍🇨🇦
Props to ‘Howard of Effingham’. My secondary school too!
But the name does sound very much like someone muttering incoherently. It's understandable that Dara didn't clock it.
Hey me too in fact the 'electrician' kid was in my year. :) As far as I'm aware he joined the police. :)
I would love to see you live Dara, would you consider doing a show in Wales? Specifically Swansea? 😂❤
Thanks for the specificity, are there any swans in Swansea…. Yes…. Are they sea swans…. No… then fuck off 😂
@@gmk2222
🤣 yes there are Swans in Swansea but no they are not sea swans 😔🏴
@@gmk2222but is there a sea of swans???
@@desideratoRdam
😂😂😂😂
@@heidibevan1916 is that your swan song? 🙃
We're lucky that they found out the helium shortage won't be _as bad_
Still fecking bad but not "as bad" 😅
I'm avoiding the carrot in the box. 😀
I've loved you since I found you on Taskmaster
Ah ha! So that's where James Acaster got the idea :)
It's still funny but it's the same old material repeating itself. Are you coming to Belgium by any chance?
So many technical and or slightly dodgy jobs in London. But the cobblers are brilliant.
5:30 🤣🤣🤣
Made me laugh out loud 😂😂
Dara's Carrer (?), probably does needs a carer with that massive head and suddenly not sitting down and buzzing and everything.! :-)
Missing the XMAs-Mocks, a crapper world since.... 😐
All the end punchlines are missing - like in the first clip, the guy actually builds houses in the green belt. Cointraversial!
But what was the controversial building? A toll? What?
Don't laugh at that bit ...that sounds fucking Sinister...what did we do to him ? My favourite bit
But Which Vancouver??? British Columbia, Canada or Washington State, U.S.?
Canada🇨🇦
dammit I want to know *what* controversial buildings!!
What is a carrer and why does Dara have one?
Dear Dara. (Don’t take this the wrong way, because I’m enjoying every second.) Is there a reason you never speak to any women in the audience? Just curious…. (Don’t worry, most of us will be fine…)

Curry Goat Revenge - Is THIS what was missing from your life?
Dara, your TH-cam minion doesn't understand apostrophes and can't spell the word "career".
Got us to comment though didn't it... Have we been grammar click bated? (Doesn't matter what you type, TH-cam counts it as engagement)
Carrer
If you cut all the "eehhhs" out of his clips they'd be less than half as long
it's CAREER not CARRER...
