One of the funniest sessions of all. Dara is the best person to be mocked, and the best person to take a mocking, and the best person to respond to mockers.
@@mikekatchowski No problem. Watching this at least once a day and never being less funny on each viewing has made me notice the little details like that.
Somebody really missed a trick on that one. I would’ve said “How many square miles of hair would it take to cover that astrodome Dara O’Brien calls a head?”
This is my comfort TH-cam video. Every time I go through a depressive episode, I come here to watch this. Dara is the comedian's comedian. Love him a lot
I've seen this compilation several times and it's still absolutely hilarious. My favourites are "Here comes the Irish team" and Dara shooting Ed with the Nerf gun!
Dara was on my dream QI panel that can unfortunately now never happen. I got Dara, Phill Jupitus and Sean Locke. I got 2 out of 3 a couple times, but never the trifecta. I still hold out hope that Taskmaster can nab Phil and/or Dara at some point.
What happened to this Milton one? Unlikely things to hear at Christmas “A science book by Dara O’Brien. Design a test for gravity” *Holds book out and lets go* “Bin”
I love how at 25:40, Romesh made that comment about Dara being a legend on the topic "things you wouldn't hear on a science documentary"...he managed to kiss ass while still making fun of him 😂
I just had to Google images of "Dara O`Briain Manchester Mega-Bus" to see what the panel was on about, and the results were hilarious!😂 He really is a top comedian and a great sport.
Ever since the Fly incident I keep looking at the top of Dara's head to see if another one has landed . In the fly world maybe his head is looked upon as the likes of Mt Everest and getting to the top is an incredible feat.
Watching MOW and everything else Dara has done I truly can't wait to see him on Taskmaster. Greg will finally have another giant of a man that can sympathize with him.
I still remember him from Echo Island on RTÉ back in the 90’s. It was a bilingual kids show but nobody watched his episodes because they were always in Irish😂
Wow, they are all really quick and clever and funny. And Dara is as brilliant as Jack Benny, it doesn't matter who the laugh comes from, it will be remembered as coming off that really funny show of Dara's.
Dara: You know how I know it's the moon, cause the earth's right behind it, see? I was *really* expecting a joke related to dara's big, shiny head because the mock the week earth is right behind his head. Anyone else?
They used to have some show on US TV where they had American comedians roast each other. Man it was NASTY! I mean really vile! This is good natured fun.
We've got one called Roast Battle, and the ref (who is American) apparently created the show in the US so it mght have the same name. Jimmy Carr hosts our version.

“I exposed an area of weakness in front of six comedians and thought this is a group which will give me sympathy.” Truer words were never spoken.
In his defence… he thinks of them as friends, not comedians 😉
Comedians? Dara is the only funny one.
"I think of you as friends. I don't think of you as comedians."

Simple but makes me laugh everytime
On the same level as “And it’s yet another gold medal for Ireland.”
I think the funniest part is how Dara always looks so shocked by it. Like somehow it still surprises him.
Genuinely vulnerable ♥️🤗
And yet almost every time there's also a smile on his face, as if he's saying "Well played".
"And it was on this very spot that Dara Ó'Briain once turned down television work." This had me rolling.
You've no idea the choices I made!!
