Good one. That mistake never fails to make fun of the psychic business on the whole. You'd think that people making their living from this fake science business would know to avoid using words like "unforeseen" and similar, in any form of public relations.

When Dara mentioned rectal bleeding... thats another one a family member of mine ignored for MONTHS, and when he finally went to a doctor, the colon, liver, and lung cancer he didnt know he had had progressed to a terminal stage. Months and months where he could have caught it earlier. "Who would ignore these severe symptoms!?" It happens all the time, people get worried about getting bad news or don't think it's a big deal or wait for things to go away or get embarrassed by symptoms, and it leads to disaster. It sounds so ridiculous that these are symptons people ignore, but they do, and often! That family member of mine was my dad. Smartest man in a room oftentimes. Fiercely clever and funny, well loved and very popular, enjoyed sport, music, trivia. Even smart, well put together people can ignore their health, and in the case of my wonderful father, it cost him his life. Who knows if going to the doctor 3 months earlier might have saved him? If you have rectal bleeding, please, see a doctor ASAP!
I love the way he nurtures the hecklers and roll with the punches, rather than put them down. Most other comedians tend to have an agenda and resent audience participation :)
They can't see the stick coming, they're in a sack. And being psychic wouldn't help because it's bullshit. And even if it wasn't, reading the guy with the sticks mind wouldn't help if even he doesn't know which ones he's hitting in the sack. It's foolproof. Edit: disclaimer for the slow, this was not a serious discussion of the method to take down psychics, it was just a expansion of the above, compiling the whole funny concept of beating scam artist psychics in a sack into one whole.

"There is more to life than E V I D E N C E" That kind of selective logic honestly scares me. Because I cannot discern where those people draw the line between stuff that evidently happens vs stuff they heard in a dream.
@Craig Gibbons But both gravity and air exist. And humans have used evidence based logic to utilise both throughout millennia to utilize both. But to get to the core of the matter. What weighs heavier than evidence in a discussion of somethings existance? Because, that is what that claim professes. That even though we have evidence of something being true or false, there exists some nebulous unknown thing out there that trumps evidence. But what? And if it exists. Without evidence of its validity... Should I really accept it as relevant?
George Bush publicly claimed that "God" wanted him to invade Iraq and was cheered by some and ignored by most others. When people are talking about things 'God' wants/needs them to do, I always replace that word in my head with "My dead great grandfather" (which, ironically, you can prove existed and quite possibly make a reasonable guess on what they would have wanted you to do in any given situation based on empirical evidence from when they were alive). If you do it in your mind, it shows you how stupid a justification that is. If they do it in their speech, they'll be removed from office and sent to a psyche ward - nobody's going to cheer it and very few people would just ignore it.
My earliest memory of being genuinely angry at a random stranger was when I was about 11 and I was going to a shop in town and a god botherer stopped me to ask "Do you believe in god young man?" (let's not even get started on approaching and stopping an unescorted minor to preach your religion) and when I said "No, I believe in Science" they responded, ever so smugly, with "Ah but can Science explain why the sky is blue, why the stars shine or why we feel love?" and I remember snapping "YES! Read a science book! We covered two of those three in school already!". What made me so angry about it was that 1) There are a hundred examples he could have picked where I would have had to say "No, it can't" but he picked three that it had literally already offered definitive and provable answers to and 2) NOWHERE in the Bible does it offer an answer (however fantastical) to any of those questions so, presumably, even if I had said "no" then if he was being honest he'd have had to reply "Yeah, we don't have a bloody clue either". Like, if you're going to offer a bullshit question in that situation, at least pick one that ACTUALLY has Science currently stumped and that whatever mumbo jumbo you're peddling actually pretends to have an answer for.

I can not get a dentist where I live now so haven’t been in 5 years. So yeah, damn right we need to address it. Also I am planning to die early on in the zombie apocalypse so you better hope I have removed all my own teeth before then.
You'll still be able to gum some flesh from the (probably fatally titillated 'cause there's nothing like coming so hard, you go, so I've heard from my psychic {psycho?} girlfriend), er, where was I, oh yeah, gumming the victims, right, shouldn't be a problem, I'm sure.
I removed 2 of my own teeth by turning my head just before the puck hit. If I hadn't, I'd have removed 10 of 'em. I'd have had a Bobby Clarke smile. Instead, just a Cletus Dicktwiddler smile. The guy who shot that puck decapitated himself snowmobiling through farm fields about 2 weeks later. Hit a barbed wire fence at 25-30 mph, right at neck level. Showed the true value of helmets. He was recognisable. Usually, by the time the usual idiots were pulled from the lakes, they were hard to identify without dental records. Didn't have DNA testing, back then.

Years ago I went to London to see a concert at the Hammy Odeon. We got there way early so took the underground to Oxford St. We were all in our late teens, early 20s. Anyway, we decided to run up the escalators at Oxford St. Bad mistake. I got to the top and everything went black. I mean everything, couldn't see bugger all. I called to one of my mates and told him I couldn't see. He started to panic and asked me what should we do. I said sit me down and get me a coke. Not, call 999, or get me to the hospital. No, sit me down and get me a coke. About 6 minutes later I could see again. I'm guessing I just had oxygen starvation to my head from running up the stairs and everything went black. The gig was great.
As an herbologist firmly rooted in science I must point out that the way we tested most traditional remedies misunderstood and often completely discounted the entourage effect and decided it had to be just one or maybe two of the component chemicals that created the effects. Often testing only examines a single plant in isolation, which is rarely how they were used. Also many of the experiments were done by people without direct knowledge of how to use the plants and the most frequent result is they test a miniscule dose and then determine it must not be effective. It'd be like deciding alcohol has no effect because a single drop of beer does nothing. Frankly it's maddening.

I can not get a dentist where I live now so haven’t been in 5 years. So yeah, damn right we need to address it. Also I am planning to die early on in the zombie apocalypse so you better hope I have removed all my own teeth before then.
You'll still be able to gum some flesh from the (probably fatally titillated 'cause there's nothing like coming so hard, you go, so I've heard from my psychic {psycho?} girlfriend), er, where was I, oh yeah, gumming the victims, right, shouldn't be a problem, I'm sure.

Fuji 9, Amber... Google it.
Jakov Brižić When you have Fugi 9 you are a dentist!
Haha!
I love his connections to the audience. I have no idea how he does this, almost non-stop...
"Get in the feckin' sack...!
Priceless!
Didn't Bob Mortimer remove his own tooth in his kitchen 🤣
Na I think he put in a crown

that is the clip from wilty he does fillings and stuff
I removed 2 of my own teeth by turning my head just before the puck hit.
If I hadn't, I'd have removed 10 of 'em. I'd have had a Bobby Clarke smile. Instead, just a Cletus Dicktwiddler smile.
The guy who shot that puck decapitated himself snowmobiling through farm fields about 2 weeks later. Hit a barbed wire fence at 25-30 mph, right at neck level. Showed the true value of helmets. He was recognisable. Usually, by the time the usual idiots were pulled from the lakes, they were hard to identify without dental records.
Didn't have DNA testing, back then.
@@thehellyousay Do you not feel bad about messing with his throttle?
@@thehellyousay You've got to be Canadian.
Now that's what I call a tangent!
Damn he's quick
And here I am ignoring my bleeding asshole and occasional loss of vision because that's just how I was raised. Tough it out, then drop dead.
@@bt3743 drink Dr pepper, got it. It's got fruit in I think, so it must be healthy.
It's fine, that's just two of the three. But if you suddenly wake up 30cm shorter, maybe think about visiting a doctor.
Yeah I was raised to ignore bleeding eyes don’t be a bitch all these snowflakes are so sensitive

Funny. But scarily true 😂🤣
One of my all time fav standup comedians!
He is the giant Gael.
Years ago I went to London to see a concert at the Hammy Odeon. We got there way early so took the underground to Oxford St. We were all in our late teens, early 20s. Anyway, we decided to run up the escalators at Oxford St. Bad mistake. I got to the top and everything went black. I mean everything, couldn't see bugger all. I called to one of my mates and told him I couldn't see. He started to panic and asked me what should we do. I said sit me down and get me a coke. Not, call 999, or get me to the hospital. No, sit me down and get me a coke. About 6 minutes later I could see again. I'm guessing I just had oxygen starvation to my head from running up the stairs and everything went black. The gig was great.
Yeah could have been that and a blood pressure problem, depends how active you were.
Dara mentioning Reading. Mary... MARY! WE'RE FAMOUS!
His routine about having someone else on for “balance” reminds me of every morning on the Jeremy Vine Show on Radio 2.
As an herbologist firmly rooted in science I must point out that the way we tested most traditional remedies misunderstood and often completely discounted the entourage effect and decided it had to be just one or maybe two of the component chemicals that created the effects. Often testing only examines a single plant in isolation, which is rarely how they were used. Also many of the experiments were done by people without direct knowledge of how to use the plants and the most frequent result is they test a miniscule dose and then determine it must not be effective. It'd be like deciding alcohol has no effect because a single drop of beer does nothing. Frankly it's maddening.
Bob Mortimer must love this routine
"Who ignores sudden blindness?"
Ooh, ooh, I know that one......is the answer Dominic Cummings? :D
Jaysus Dara IS psychic after all!
Hilarious! I can only think of two comedians that were as funny and as quick with an audience as Dara O'Briain - Robin Williams and Johnathan Winters.
He is so quick it's unbelievable.
Dara is just magical on stage!!
Sad thing is: the guy believing the sky is painted is now on television...
@Jon Bird and what colour is it at night Einstein?
@Jon Bird wow i genuinely feel sorry for you
@Jon Bird Sometimes you can see the bottom of the ocean, sometimes you cant.
Is that fairies painting it in shifts?
Honestly. ..
@Jon Bird Posting the same long rant twice doesn't make you look very smart.
But the big giveaway is the "no satellite cell tower" bullshit.
Ask any ship captain or commercial pilot in the middle of the ocean.
Oh or are ships and planes just a "conspiracy "?
I love the sack and stick part!
Damn it’s good to be a Dara...
How great (for me) to find a new (to me) brilliant (to me) comic.
Has me laughing 5 minutes after it stopped… probably will pop up for awhile yet. Thank you!
I love how he says idiot
It's only in the one eye. You can make it till noon when the next shift arrives, can't you? It's not like anything will change between now and then.
i lost it at the last part
This dude is absolutely f*ing Great!
I ... i litterally have no words ...
If someone forks out hundreds of quid to a psychic, it ain't their fecking aura that's cracked.

that's what I thought!
Never extractions! Crowns, Fillings, never extractions
Goodness, he's spot on... about medicine
Almost 57 now, when I was 23 I had really bad tooth ache on a weekend and so couldnt get in touch with an NHS dentist so I swigged down a bottle of dark rum and then using mole grips removed the offending tooth. Sorted.
Lots of guys in Ireland have Mary as a second or third name. He's right
He sounds a bit like Sylvester the cat 😂 very funny guy
What a wit. I laughed so hard
Goddamn the stealth bit got me so bad I had to just pause the video and say it. Love the way Dara interacts with the crowd, it's gotta be difficult.
For years, I couldn't retain it, O'Brian or O'Brain? But it's both!
There was the guy who forgot to take his homeopathy remedy. He died of an overdose.
Just plain brilliant.
I have a mancrush on Dara.
You're a funny man.
THANK YOU
Hahaha. This was pretty good.
He's funny and the accent does a lot for his act. Its cuter and more exciting in an Irish accent
Well, on behalf of toothilogists all around the world, I am offended by this routine.
First I've ever heard him.. I get it- 😆
I was going to make a crack about Bob Mortimer, but then I remembered that he doesn’t do removals, only fillings & crown replacements, so there goes my line.
Im fairly sure he forgets his sorta script in the middle, but covers it so well for like 5 whole minutes😅
Speaking of energy Dara is new to me and reminds me of Alexei Sayle..you know, because of the energy he brings to his delivery. But also plus the dour realism of someone who likes numbers (ps homeopathy is in fact stupid - fantastic bit)
"Get in the fuckin' sack" lol...
Couldn't stop laughing one of the ads that came on during this was some xenophobic ad about not hiring foreigners i thought in 2020 we were past the whole "no irish need apply" bollocks.
There's this really interesting idea of giving light to both sides of an argument even when one side is objectively wrong.
@Charlie I Lyth yes, but when science says that there is no evidence to support something despite and reporters are giving effort t hear "both sides" equally, we have a problem with people thinking that wrong side actually might be okay
When Dara O'brian talked about dentistry I could only think of Bob Mortimer and how he does his own dentistry xD
Don't forget Mr Bean.
@@blackletter2591 oh yeah! Haha had forgotten that one. 😂
Now I remembered a joke-story Michael McIntyre told before about visiting the dentist. Need to find that clip again! Was an insane story as I recall lmao.
