I'm still gonna have to go with the Always "Have A Happy Period" ad campaign as the worst ever targeted at women. But ClearBlue's definitely in second place.
Wait, that really happened? It was literally a joke in Series 8 of Red Dwarf. Kryten is tricked into hanging up a banner that reads "Have A Fantastic Period". Crazy that a similar phrase actually got used in marketing.
@@NoXion100 Series 8 of Red Dwarf came out around the same time Always was running those ads, so I'd guess that episode was referencing the campaign. The ads were bad enough, but the fact it was printed all over the piece of plastic covering the adhesive strip when you unwrapped the pad was even worse.
Dara's so good at hosting panel shows and contributing in other ways to comedy shows these days that I sometimes forget just how good and quick he is in stand up.
The reason he's so good at those things is because of his quick wits. In this clip you see it when he asks the guy casual questions and runs with it and the crowd is roaring.
I wonder how Rodney Dangerfield would be in todays life... probably the funniest shit u ever seen. Favorite joke by em "I tell ya when I was a kid, all I knew was rejection. My yo-yo, it never came back." 😂
According to my parents, there was a popular Soviet joke when they first started marketing 3-bladed razors that went, "The first removes the hair, the second peels off the skin, and the third polishes the bone." Edit: Got a notification about this and brought it up to my mum, who clarified it was post-Soviet, since Russia was just starting to get TV ads at the time; not sure what this business about a 10th blade is though.
@@Conserpov is that really? Because it does sound Soviet, both Because 3 blades might've soumded extensive, and because there were many Soviet jokes were like "this is so good on paper (and terrible in practice)" (here: the blades so sharp that they polish the bone), or just that it's do terrible. I only remember one joke but it's a practical joke requires a use of old fashioned tea bag and a lighter. It's about a space rocket, and how Soviet Russians want to send into space but it's too expensive, so they first get rid of safety features, then the computer, then the landing gear, then the fuel... and at the end you light the little paper from the tea bag (representing an empty shell of the rocket) and it flies.
@@tymondabrowski12 Yes, really. "The blades so sharp that they..." is directly from the Gillette MACH3 commercial, and you probably can find the parody on youtube. As for rocket joke, it was never Soviet - or about Soviets - either. You are clearly too young to understand the nuances.
@@ConserpovI’ve heard the joke about the Russian Rocket tea bag before. It’s a two-second bit where you explain that Rocket is most effective for Motherland because it’s as bare minimum as possible
It’s interesting to see how quick he is. Those are obviously answers he wasn’t expecting, but still he made everything that guy said funny, and then somehow connected it to his prepared jokes. Kudos Dara!
It really is incredible how well he's able to play off an audience, and he doesn't do it in the usual "just make fun of them" sort of way you see a lot of times. Sure he'll rib them some, but it's always more of a having fun and playful sort and not dragging people for their looks or making really basic insults. Dude is immensely talented at improvising and being funny doing it. I'd always loved him on panel shows before but was blown away when I came across some of his standup.
He is very quick and great at improv. But when you do improv 1000s of times, you build up routines that you then riff off, and you have learnt what works and what doesnt. I think I want to say it is not just genius, its a result of hard graft and experience as well.
As a woman, I always thought these high-tech pregnancy tests were an insult to my intelligence. Putting in an LCD display just to spell out "pregnant" vs "not pregnant" because interpreting one line vs two lines would be beyond me? (I understand, of course - it must be really hard to differentiate yourself and try to come up with a "new" product on a market that's saturated to the death - hence razors with 5 blades and toasters with 12 different "functions"...) I always wonder who pays extra for that kind of stuff?
I work with people day in and day out and sadly I can completely see the confusion people can get from trying to interpret lines. Even if only 1% of people have a hard time that's still potentially millions of people and the company must not hear the end of it....
@@ItApproaches Better yet, why not just a "wuh wah" for not pregnant and a "ding ding ding" for pregnant? Here's the better questions: What do blind women do with pregnancy tests? Are there ones that do sound? What about deaf AND blind women? We got any Braille tests?
I worked in a cinema where the smallest size drink was a "child's size". Purely with the intention to make men not buy it for themselves, as the theory is no man wants to buy something labelled as "child size" when they're with a partner 🤣 It usually worked too. I worked there for 4 years and I can only remember a handful of men buying that size for themselves
"This one, labelled Child Sized, is a 512oz bucket. How is that child sized?" "That's because it's roughly the size of the average three year old child, if they were liquified"
"Men are advertised to as if we're autistic 12-year-old boys" I was once an autistic 12-year-old boy. And even then, even _I_ thought advertisements aimed at men were stupid and patronizing.
My experience of having two children who are autistic is that they are logical so would find advertisements stupid ie the domestic advert saying it kills germs dead is stupid
As somebody who actually owns a marketing agency, I can tell you that most commercials, especially the ones for razors and skincare are targeted at women. Prepare to have your mind blown. They still do most of the grocery shopping.
The only good one i ever saw was men's wearhouse saying "when everybody's looking at her, she'll be looking at you." Whoever wrote that understood what men care about. You can't sell them a suit based on arbitrary convention. Sell them on wanting to please/honor/respect the woman they love.
Still peak marketing comedy, when they introduced a 5 blade razor with 1 additional blade on the back for "contouring", because they noticed a slab of 5 blades really only works well if your face is perfectly flat, accompanied by the advert saying "A men's face is rough and has edges, therefore you want precision". You enginered a solution to a problem that didn't exist before your product, good job!
I recently bought a classic "safety razor" from Henson Shaving. It's precision made and the best razor I've ever used (and I've tried a few at the ripe age of 61). And the blades cost next to nothing.
@@christinaedwards5084Have you ever used one? For the last 8 years I've been a beard grower, and cut it with a hair trimmer. But I used to be an impressionable youth who was really excited about how cool and fancy Gillette razors were. The vibration function isn't really *necessary*, but it does make the shave better. And it ain't wobbly, at least not until it gets old and worn enough. For all its superfluous design and marketing, the Gillette Mach Fusion Power Stealth 5 or whatever it's called is a pretty nice razor, enough so that my wife always wanted to use it instead of her own inferior marketed for women model.
This is great because there's no hyperbolic exaggerating. You can go ahead and search these products, they really exist and it's already hilarious by itself.
I remember buying the clear blue ovulation test instead of the pregnancy test... Oh what a dramatic evening that was until we calmed down & read the box.
I feel sorry for whenever a standup comedian gets "I work in IT for a bank" - it's so hard to work from there! I saw Dara live in Cambridge once, and he asked someone in the crowd what they did. "I design stalls for public bathrooms". The next ten minutes were the funniest ten minutes I've ever had the pleasure to witness.
They always have the fall back, that we saw here, of just pointing out how boring that job is to talk about. It becomes a meta joke at that point, and a good catch all when all others fail.
My immediate reaction is: so you didn't get your fill of bullying in high school, you had to follow the preppy jerks into the jobs their fathers got them. It's making fun of bankers by proxy, but I think it works.
As a man... this was the funniest thing I've watched in some time! Even... no, especially as an American man. Advertisements are even more extreme and ubiquitous in the US to the point of ridiculousness! I personally shave with two Gillette 5-bladed razors duct-taped together to truly feel like a dauntless primal chieftain!
Hell, the other day I saw an on T.V. that would be borderline false advertising... That is if I could even figure out what it was for. All it was, was a bunch of 'testimonies' about some 'CBD' product, but it never even explained what a 'CBD' is, or what it actually does. It was the most bizarre ad I had ever seen.
We really do have brain-dead marketing for brain-dead people in this country. Makes me legitimately angry whenever ads come on any TV and I have to listen to the same jaunty, forcibly-cheery male/female voices coming up with THE most ridiculous reasons why I ought to buy their product.
@@buckrodgers1162Hey. If you don't know, then you don't know. ;);) I'm thinking it would be because CBD is a marijuana product so maybe there we're regulations of what could be in the ad.?
English not being my native language, this is literally the first time ever I loled at an English-speaking comedians jokes. The mental image of a kettle with O'Briain's face concealing itself in the bushes and making googly eyes is golden.
i remember seeing this show live years ago and the first thing i did when i got out of the gig was to google if the Kenwood stealth kettle existed.. it did and so i ordered one.. Unfortunately I don't know if it ever arrived.
The worst I find is women’s scents versus men’s scents. For things like body wash, deodorant, etc. Women’s are like fresh floral breeze and island paradise and juicy peach and soft jasmine. Men’s are like “ROCKET FUEL” and “ICY MOUNTAIN BLAST” and “COOL RUSH” and “SWAGGER” “LUMBERJACK” . It’s funny and also slightly patronizing.
@@MarieAntoinetteandherlittlesis More poignantly they all smell like you just got airdropped inside a chemical reactor where they are brewing amphetamine and industrial disinfectant because ARE YOU AWAKE YET THIS IS THE SMELL OF FRENZIED HYPERACTIVITY SO YOU BETTER HOP TO IT BUSTER. And women’s fragrances be like “Are you in your sensuous comfortable dream zone yet because we will get you there in a heartbeat.”
Second funniest part about the Clear Blue LCD pregnancy tests is that all it’s doing is using a tiny sensor to look for the line - same as the cheaper version the indicator paper does all the work. The most hilarious part? It’s actually more sensitive than the paper alone as people often mis-read the line by not waiting long enough or not spotting a feint one!
This would have been really useful during the pandemic when people were not great at reading those things. Just insert the casette and the machine will read it for you. Too bad that most people who would buy these are the most concerned of the disease and as a result would have fearscrolled the internet for long enough to know how to read those tests.
@@sybrandwoudstra9236Did you know that the Australian Minister for Health Greg Hunt, was photographed with the CEO of a medical manufacturer in 2019. Caused a stir spouting conflict of interest. The photograph is of Hunt and the CEO holding the covid tests product. The caption in 2019 read that the testing kits were for colds and flu. That manufacturer was given the manufacturing rights to produce majority USA covid testing cassettes. I'm not convinced the pandemic was totally planned, however I'm highly suspicious that there weren't people who knew something was coming.
Love the clip. But also, that 'personal note' at the end. I imagine Dara's social media manager person (or just daughter) going: you should add a personal touch here, they like that. Dara reluctantly recording it. And her saying after: Yeah, I guess that'll do.
i kinda want a line of products with the exact same marketing line for every single item: It's what it says on the box and if it gets popular it will make supermarkets look like a boring videogame level with rows of generic products with the product name "razor" "shampoo" "television" "cup" etc
Have you been in a Ross or Marshalls recently? At least like last year, they had some bottles of stuff that looked really scammy. Just a bottle, with a color label sticker, that says “lotion” or “hand soap” in the most basic of fonts, not even an aesthetic one, and NOTHING. ELSE. No ingredients, no manufacturer address, NOTHING.
Dara is probably the greatest stand-up comic ever; and he's able to transfer that talent to everything he does. In addition to all his other great qualities, he has a knack for never being gratuitous with expletives. Far too many comics build their acts around constantly swearing, but when Dara dips into the bag of curses, it's special.
The "greatest stand-up comic ever"? There's a lot of competition for that title. Is he better than Robin Williams? Steve Martin? Rodney Dangerfield? Don Rickles? Eddie Murphy? Joan Rivers? Richard Pryor? Bill Cosby (was a very funny guy, despite his crimes)? Jerry Seinfeld? George Carlin? Gabriel Iglesias? Dave Chappelle?
@@revpembroke3082 The short answer to your question is: *Yes!* The long answer is: I've listened to each of the Comedians you listed. Some are great, while I don't consider some all that amusing. Seinfeld, I don't find funny at all. Robin Williams was funniest when he was young and fueled with cocaine. As he got older, he merely became a caricature of his former self. He serious acting was by far better than his later comedy. Steve Martin is another comic who piqued in the 70's. After *_"The Jerk"_* it was all downhill. *_"Dirty Rotten Scoundrels"_* was the closest that he got to any previous level, but even there it was Michael Cain (a serious actor) who carried that movie. Dangerfield? Great! Still love his stuff today. His schtick remains unique. Enough said! Rickles? Superb! Nobody can work a room like he did; and there will likely never be another entertainer like him. He was the King of insults, the Sultan of sting, the Merchant of Venom, etc... Murphy is another Great comic; and he can act. Before Dara came along, I ranked him among the best; and he still sits among the pantheon of great comedians. Joan Rivers was a lot better than most people gave her credit for. I saw her open for Rickles (live); and she could work a room with ease. Despite her tendency to rehash old jokes, I still consider her among the great comedians. Richard Pryor! There's a man who still doesn't get the credit he deserved, despite being iconic and breaking down barriers for Black comedians. He really soared in the 70's & 80's. You couldn't produce his material today, because there are too many politically correct candy asses in government and in bureaucratic positions, who would want to censor and cancel him. I listened to his stuff until the cassette tape wore out. My favourite album of his was *_"Wanted: Live In Concert."_* The skit on Leon Spinks is still hilarious!!! Btw, did you know that Richard Pryor wrote part of the screenplay for Mel Brooks' *_"Blazing Saddles"_* ? He even wrote all the bits for Mongo, as well as other parts. Cosby? Putting aside his penchant for drugging and violating women, his comedy was definitely great. What made him stand out from the rest was that he didn't use expletives, or get vulgar in his acts. Ironic, isn't it? I never considered him in the same level as Pryor, Murphy, Dangerfield, or Rickles, though. Carlin! Oh, that man will always have a special place in my funny bone. He did more for comedy than people realize. I didn't agree with his politics, but the man was hilarious! In many ways, his humour was thought-provoking and insightful. Gabriel Iglesias! I love his stuff! He's probably the closest to Dara's level, in my opinion. His humour is timeless. Chappelle! Now there's an interesting cat! I have a great deal of respect for the man. Not only is he funny, but when he wants to get a point across, it's as poignant as it is hilarious. I would say that Chappelle is among the rare few comedians whom you could describe as _"truly brave."_ In that sense, I rank him up there with Nick Di Paolo. They're the kind of people who are strong and secure in their identity and ideologies. The ironic part about Dave (for me, at least), is that as he evolves in his profession, his politics do so as well. He's serendipitously aligning with similar beliefs that I hold. Dara just seems to have a natural ability to roll all the above characteristics into one; and put on a show that you just help but enjoy. Even when he's hosting British game shows, or is a panelist on one, he's hilarious! His range of materials is fantastic, too! You never know the specifics of what you're going to get, but you definitely know that the quality will be top notch.
If you want another advertising gag theme you could run with the transition from the old “stupid little wife” ads to the “incompetent, clueless Dad” ads we have nowadays
We’re past even those for the most part. Men in adverts now are largely average blank slates. Mostly the same for women, except they’re also presented as being highly capable and outwardly confident when using whatever the fairly mundane product is. I think eventually ad people will just resemble uncontroversially everyday people to avoid alienating any particular demographic by being either too demeaning or too patronising
Done Dara! Love your work. Ex-pat Scot here in Oz. Hope to see you out here soon. Going to see Ross Noble in a couple of weeks. I really miss the UK comedy scene. And Mock the Week too! Tragedy it was canned.
To my mind, ninjas have always been associated with stealth and assassinations. Turns out they were also known for frying potatoes efficiently using air.
I miss Mock the Week. It had a comedic twist you don't get from "Have I got News For You" or "The Last Leg". Each round was enjoyable and unique and I loved it. Especially that last round. It made me laugh like crazy. o7
Is it improve though? Don't they just speak to an audience member about their work and then link it to the topic they prepared?? Just curious... Dara is fantastic though
@@DavidJapaneseIts improv because you dont know what the other person will say. In a more literal sense, Dara said “yes and” to a guy working software in banking for visa.

This is only used on non-electric ones. Literally no one outside America or an extremely weird situation would use a no-electric kettle because the electric one is just plain faster, more convenient and piss cheap from any store.
This is the first video I've ever seen of this guy. The accent was amazing. And then he mentioned doctor who. And on top of it, he's just funny anyway!! 😂
In the Gents of my local shopping centre there's adverts for lingerie. I revealed this secret to some of the ladies in one of the shops and asked whether they had male orientated adverts in the Ladies. ''Drills'', one of the ladies suggested. Actually they told me they have adverts for holidays.
I'd never thought about what advert would be up in men's toilets. It's usually holidays, period products or mental health support ones in the women's toilets.

My immediate reaction is: so you didn't get your fill of bullying in high school, you had to follow the preppy jerks into the jobs their fathers got them. It's making fun of bankers by proxy, but I think it works.
It's a damn shame Dara's comedy doesn't reach the US more often. The man's funny as Hell.
True he is really funny
I'm sensing Dara is rather _more_ funny than Hell.
Where - I'd hazard a guess - things are not exactly a Barrel Of Laughs... 😳
I can barely understand what he's saying though, probably that's the reason
Hell isn't funny
As a man... this was the funniest thing I've watched in some time!
Even... no, especially as an American man. Advertisements are even more extreme and ubiquitous in the US to the point of ridiculousness! I personally shave with two Gillette 5-bladed razors duct-taped together to truly feel like a dauntless primal chieftain!
Hell, the other day I saw an on T.V. that would be borderline false advertising... That is if I could even figure out what it was for. All it was, was a bunch of 'testimonies' about some 'CBD' product, but it never even explained what a 'CBD' is, or what it actually does. It was the most bizarre ad I had ever seen.
We really do have brain-dead marketing for brain-dead people in this country. Makes me legitimately angry whenever ads come on any TV and I have to listen to the same jaunty, forcibly-cheery male/female voices coming up with THE most ridiculous reasons why I ought to buy their product.
If it wouldn't work they'd stop doing it, so you can imagine there are many people who "buy it" (both the ad nonsense and the product)
Thing is, isn't it less manly to have 5 blades?
Shouldn't Real Men be shaving with a sharpened shell or rock?
@@buckrodgers1162Hey. If you don't know, then you don't know. ;);)
I'm thinking it would be because CBD is a marijuana product so maybe there we're regulations of what could be in the ad.?
English not being my native language, this is literally the first time ever I loled at an English-speaking comedians jokes. The mental image of a kettle with O'Briain's face concealing itself in the bushes and making googly eyes is golden.
Same for me! I'm not a native speaker, but Dara gets me every time!
i remember seeing this show live years ago and the first thing i did when i got out of the gig was to google if the Kenwood stealth kettle existed.. it did and so i ordered one..
Unfortunately I don't know if it ever arrived.
😂😂😂😂
It did arrive, it's just hiding, check your bushes
You can whistle for it!
Yay! There's now an official Dara channel!
But, note to whoever's running it: Dara's surname is misspelled on the yellow graphic at the end.
Been trying to notify them this 😅
..... how the serious fuck did someone miss this?!
So is “ad’s” on the screenshot. Should be ads. So obviously this is all done on purpose?
Women's vs standard stationery is hilarious. The encouraging words on everything 😂
Women's products be like "Today is the best day you'll ever have!"
Men's products be like "Sack it up, you wuss."
The worst I find is women’s scents versus men’s scents. For things like body wash, deodorant, etc. Women’s are like fresh floral breeze and island paradise and juicy peach and soft jasmine. Men’s are like “ROCKET FUEL” and “ICY MOUNTAIN BLAST” and “COOL RUSH” and “SWAGGER” “LUMBERJACK” . It’s funny and also slightly patronizing.
@@MarieAntoinetteandherlittlesis hahaha
@@MarieAntoinetteandherlittlesis More poignantly they all smell like you just got airdropped inside a chemical reactor where they are brewing amphetamine and industrial disinfectant because ARE YOU AWAKE YET THIS IS THE SMELL OF FRENZIED HYPERACTIVITY SO YOU BETTER HOP TO IT BUSTER.
And women’s fragrances be like “Are you in your sensuous comfortable dream zone yet because we will get you there in a heartbeat.”
@@MarieAntoinetteandherlittlesis idk about you, but i ABSOLUTELY want deodorant that is labelled as "rocket fuel"
Second funniest part about the Clear Blue LCD pregnancy tests is that all it’s doing is using a tiny sensor to look for the line - same as the cheaper version the indicator paper does all the work.
The most hilarious part? It’s actually more sensitive than the paper alone as people often mis-read the line by not waiting long enough or not spotting a feint one!
This would have been really useful during the pandemic when people were not great at reading those things. Just insert the casette and the machine will read it for you.
Too bad that most people who would buy these are the most concerned of the disease and as a result would have fearscrolled the internet for long enough to know how to read those tests.

@@sybrandwoudstra9236Did you know that the Australian Minister for Health Greg Hunt, was photographed with the CEO of a medical manufacturer in 2019. Caused a stir spouting conflict of interest.
The photograph is of Hunt and the CEO holding the covid tests product. The caption in 2019 read that the testing kits were for colds and flu.
That manufacturer was given the manufacturing rights to produce majority USA covid testing cassettes.
I'm not convinced the pandemic was totally planned, however I'm highly suspicious that there weren't people who knew something was coming.
Dara is a level of comedy unlocked after you learn to use the 6 blade rzr
The legendary 6-blade comes with a +50 to the charisma stat
Funny and refreshing how this clip touches stereotypes in marketing without getting political!
Had a good long laugh throughout
Love the clip. But also, that 'personal note' at the end. I imagine Dara's social media manager person (or just daughter) going: you should add a personal touch here, they like that. Dara reluctantly recording it. And her saying after: Yeah, I guess that'll do.
i kinda want a line of products with the exact same marketing line for every single item: It's what it says on the box
and if it gets popular it will make supermarkets look like a boring videogame level with rows of generic products with the product name "razor" "shampoo" "television" "cup" etc
It already exists in Canada. No-name brand. I love the boxes and wish I could try some. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Name_(brand)
@@Ticktok_of_Oz I'm very disappointed to see the creator of that company is not named Bob
Have you been in a Ross or Marshalls recently? At least like last year, they had some bottles of stuff that looked really scammy. Just a bottle, with a color label sticker, that says “lotion” or “hand soap” in the most basic of fonts, not even an aesthetic one, and NOTHING. ELSE. No ingredients, no manufacturer address, NOTHING.
Ahh I wish there was more recording of Dara specials, I love his work.
I love watching him engaging the audience, and he just grabs a word, a concept, and soars. He's marvelous.
Dara is probably the greatest stand-up comic ever; and he's able to transfer that talent to everything he does.
In addition to all his other great qualities, he has a knack for never being gratuitous with expletives. Far too many comics build their acts around constantly swearing, but when Dara dips into the bag of curses, it's special.
The "greatest stand-up comic ever"? There's a lot of competition for that title. Is he better than Robin Williams? Steve Martin? Rodney Dangerfield? Don Rickles? Eddie Murphy? Joan Rivers? Richard Pryor? Bill Cosby (was a very funny guy, despite his crimes)? Jerry Seinfeld? George Carlin? Gabriel Iglesias? Dave Chappelle?
@@revpembroke3082
The short answer to your question is: *Yes!*
The long answer is:
I've listened to each of the Comedians you listed. Some are great, while I don't consider some all that amusing. Seinfeld, I don't find funny at all.
Robin Williams was funniest when he was young and fueled with cocaine. As he got older, he merely became a caricature of his former self. He serious acting was by far better than his later comedy.
Steve Martin is another comic who piqued in the 70's. After *_"The Jerk"_* it was all downhill. *_"Dirty Rotten Scoundrels"_* was the closest that he got to any previous level, but even there it was Michael Cain (a serious actor) who carried that movie.
Dangerfield? Great! Still love his stuff today. His schtick remains unique. Enough said!
Rickles? Superb! Nobody can work a room like he did; and there will likely never be another entertainer like him. He was the King of insults, the Sultan of sting, the Merchant of Venom, etc...
Murphy is another Great comic; and he can act. Before Dara came along, I ranked him among the best; and he still sits among the pantheon of great comedians.
Joan Rivers was a lot better than most people gave her credit for. I saw her open for Rickles (live); and she could work a room with ease. Despite her tendency to rehash old jokes, I still consider her among the great comedians.
Richard Pryor! There's a man who still doesn't get the credit he deserved, despite being iconic and breaking down barriers for Black comedians. He really soared in the 70's & 80's. You couldn't produce his material today, because there are too many politically correct candy asses in government and in bureaucratic positions, who would want to censor and cancel him. I listened to his stuff until the cassette tape wore out. My favourite album of his was *_"Wanted: Live In Concert."_* The skit on Leon Spinks is still hilarious!!!
Btw, did you know that Richard Pryor wrote part of the screenplay for Mel Brooks' *_"Blazing Saddles"_* ? He even wrote all the bits for Mongo, as well as other parts.
Cosby? Putting aside his penchant for drugging and violating women, his comedy was definitely great. What made him stand out from the rest was that he didn't use expletives, or get vulgar in his acts. Ironic, isn't it? I never considered him in the same level as Pryor, Murphy, Dangerfield, or Rickles, though.
Carlin! Oh, that man will always have a special place in my funny bone. He did more for comedy than people realize. I didn't agree with his politics, but the man was hilarious! In many ways, his humour was thought-provoking and insightful.
Gabriel Iglesias! I love his stuff! He's probably the closest to Dara's level, in my opinion. His humour is timeless.
Chappelle! Now there's an interesting cat! I have a great deal of respect for the man. Not only is he funny, but when he wants to get a point across, it's as poignant as it is hilarious. I would say that Chappelle is among the rare few comedians whom you could describe as _"truly brave."_ In that sense, I rank him up there with Nick Di Paolo. They're the kind of people who are strong and secure in their identity and ideologies. The ironic part about Dave (for me, at least), is that as he evolves in his profession, his politics do so as well. He's serendipitously aligning with similar beliefs that I hold.
Dara just seems to have a natural ability to roll all the above characteristics into one; and put on a show that you just help but enjoy. Even when he's hosting British game shows, or is a panelist on one, he's hilarious! His range of materials is fantastic, too! You never know the specifics of what you're going to get, but you definitely know that the quality will be top notch.
Not everyone likes loud, manic comedians from the US. I quite like Joan Rivers but can't take to the others.
I was having this exact humour-rant to my coworker a month or so ago. The name of men's toiletries is beyond ridiculous.
One of the sharpest minds in the business. ❤
But how many blades does it have.....?
@@decodolly1535 Six blades, we think.
But the seventh blade might be in "stealth mode". No-one's been able to find out.
If you want another advertising gag theme you could run with the transition from the old “stupid little wife” ads to the “incompetent, clueless Dad” ads we have nowadays
We’re past even those for the most part. Men in adverts now are largely average blank slates. Mostly the same for women, except they’re also presented as being highly capable and outwardly confident when using whatever the fairly mundane product is.
I think eventually ad people will just resemble uncontroversially everyday people to avoid alienating any particular demographic by being either too demeaning or too patronising
@@cerumen “Ah, alas, ear wax.”.
I was watching this in class and got into trouble for bursting out with laughter when he mentioned the stealth of a kettle
There is so much good stuff in that gig. I still find it funny, especially the audience interaction stuff.
Man, I thought for sure my dude would crash and burn on the kettle bit, but he somehow stuck the landing with a perfect 10! Brilliant!
The absolute pinnacle of advertising to men has to be the Old Spice ads featuring Terry Crews. Complete nonsense.
It targeted towards women to buy for men.
@@miltonfridman1239 I believe you’re thinking of the Isaiah Mustafa Old Spice commercials.
Done Dara! Love your work.
Ex-pat Scot here in Oz. Hope to see you out here soon. Going to see Ross Noble in a couple of weeks. I really miss the UK comedy scene. And Mock the Week too! Tragedy it was canned.
So nice to see you on TH-cam. You are my favourite comic and love your shows.
This was the best 5 minutes and 30 seconds of my week.
I Liked this video even before I watched it simply coz it’s Dara O,Briain. Bloke is so talented and absolutely hilarious live.
To my mind, ninjas have always been associated with stealth and assassinations.
Turns out they were also known for frying potatoes efficiently using air.
Not bad at making soups and smoothies too, I've heard. Damn ninjas, coming over here, taking all our appliances' jobs!
Same company makes Shark products.
I miss Mock the Week. It had a comedic twist you don't get from "Have I got News For You" or "The Last Leg". Each round was enjoyable and unique and I loved it. Especially that last round. It made me laugh like crazy. o7
Yeah Dara was the best in improvisation. And smart. Basicly my fav.
Is it improve though? Don't they just speak to an audience member about their work and then link it to the topic they prepared?? Just curious... Dara is fantastic though
@@DavidJapaneseIts improv because you dont know what the other person will say. In a more literal sense, Dara said “yes and” to a guy working software in banking for visa.
Wish the ole Daranator did another gig up here in Edinburgh, would watch that in a heartbeat
My favourite bit was when older Dara appeared at the end giving a Like and Subscribe message, clearly at gunpoint.
I actually really want a stealthy kettle for work because it's embarrassing to have one that beeps and hisses in an open work office.
Plus it hides when your boss walks into the room
“Do you have to beat a boss at blade 4 to get to blade 5?”
The way I howled 😂😂😂
For real
Oh I love Dara's comedy so much
"Do you have to unlock Blade 5 by beating a boss on Blade 4?!"
Finally a comedian speaks my language! Thank you, good sir.
What a brilliant, brilliant man.
Ahahahahaha maan this made laugh hard! I've seen you on WILTY and other shows, but you were always so behaved, almost shy, and now this ahahaha this is hysterical, well done! 😂
This Man is hilarious.
Glad to have seen him in person at least once
Thanks for sharing this, Dara. (or, more likely one would assume, nameless social media community manager) Genuinely funny.
Dara, missed you old boy, great to have a belly laugh before heading to work in the morning :)
I laughed a lot, thank yu for this material, Mr Dara ! I have seen you in many shows like Taskmaster , BigFatQuiz or 8 out of 10 cats ... , first time visiting your channel hope to see more videos here to lift up my day :) Cheers!
New discovery, I am going binge watch this guy for next 3 hours!
In Polish, the word kettle (czajnik) has root word as in verb 'to lurk' as if indeed it was hiding and waiting to jump upon you with all the hot water it has inside :D
Lmao that was funny af. Definitely need to check out more of these
So happy I came across this! Another quality stand-up to look forward to. 😃👏🏻😊
I love you Dara!
Brilliant as always 😂
Do you have to unlock blade 5 after defeating the boss on blade 4.
I forgot Dara is also a gamer 😂😂
He's a wonderful nerd and we love him for it
so smart to start your own channel and clip up your specials. im an american fan who hgas your specials but its hard to share stuff with my american friends without youtube. please do your star wars sincerity joke in clip form soon. also please clip your current stand up like american comedians so i can share it around and get you more american fans. i want to see you do a bigger tour in america
Solid gold good sir. You are spot on. The stealth kettle is so quiet you won’t know your tea is ready.
I love this guy.
My favorite video of yours
Some guy actually got Doom working on one of those digital pregnancy tests.
My experience with kettles is that the GOOD ones whistle in a very unstealthy manner on purpose so you don't boil them dry?!
The ones I've used have an automatic temperature cut off. However we don't use the stove top ones, virtually no one uses that type here.
This is only used on non-electric ones. Literally no one outside America or an extremely weird situation would use a no-electric kettle because the electric one is just plain faster, more convenient and piss cheap from any store.
Adding him to my favorite comedians list! 😂
Daamn good to see Dara around
instant sub, love it!
Oh my gosh, that's some of the funniest observational humor I've seen. And I'm speaking as a big fan of Michael McIntyre, ya know?
This is the first video I've ever seen of this guy. The accent was amazing. And then he mentioned doctor who. And on top of it, he's just funny anyway!! 😂
watched him live in Cyprus. Laughed out loud at his improvs with people in their seats
I think Dara is very funny. 👍👍👍👌👌👌🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👏
I've just seen an ad for a mens' hoodie called the "Tactical 2.0", and obviously I instantly thought of this bit 😂
Lee Evans did a similar thing about the Gillette Fusion razor. Both equally hilarious
Absolutely Brilliant
Mitchell and Webb's Men's Ads vs Women's ads was the best 😂😂
In the Gents of my local shopping centre there's adverts for lingerie. I revealed this secret to some of the ladies in one of the shops and asked whether they had male orientated adverts in the Ladies. ''Drills'', one of the ladies suggested. Actually they told me they have adverts for holidays.
Because lingerie adverts are targeted at men buying presents for female partners (because said men find said lingerie attractive).
I'd never thought about what advert would be up in men's toilets. It's usually holidays, period products or mental health support ones in the women's toilets.
this sent me straight to the SNL sketch with Jason Momoa "Big boy appliances"
The way he says "dull hum of the reactor core" is therapeutic and I don't know why.
"Do you have to unlock blade 5 by defeating a boss on blade 4?" 🤣🤣
@2:18 Oh no, Dara just taught me I'm trans because OMG I love that tagline 😅
One of the greatest :-)
I would absolutely buy this kettle!
This gave me such a good laugh - instant follow
I needed this
Dara is a legend 😎
Awesome !!!
This was so good 😂 now I want a stealth atom slicing razor...damned male advertisements!!!
4:17 😂 Haven't cackled like that at a comedian for ages
Plural nominative case of ad is ads. That's grade-school knowledge level.
Greetings from a speaker of English as the second language.
That was a lot more funny then I expected
So feckijg excited to see you live in Edmonton.
Your last show in Tromsø was fantastic, please come back some time😀
Won't be sitting front row this time either
Haven't laughed this hard in ages 😆 that was brilliant!
Hilarious stuff! Thanks for the laughs.
I could honestly get behind Dara's stealth kettle concept. Though I'm pretty sure my Grandma had one when I was a kid...
Love how he works his nerdy passion into his comedy, relates to the youth because he loves video games but not in a way that cringe more in a way that i will talk with my boy when he grows of age to play xbox and playstation
