+1 for the brilliant mash of gifs and pictures.
EMallorn
Dara O'Briain is great.
Guggiob
Go Ireland!
weludixon
Seen him live in Belfast and his opening line was, "Titanic, much?" Instant applause.
tyrunn
Is that the guy who plays the nurse in Monsoon Poultry Hospital?

TheOxytocin
Good comedian, OC, and gifs only where they're needed. We need more people like you in the world, OP.
ClemHFandango
Ummmmm OC? How? Pretty sure this comes from data o'brien, not op here. Just sayin'
LynxNord
Thank you.
provostroar
As a mobile user, thanks for keeping the gifs to a minimum
LynxNord
Thank you. I'm sure you would have done the same.
mfdave
I like some are gifs and others are stills it's like they didn't unlock the full rendering capabilities.
definitelyrussianpossiblyjewish
razor sharp wit of dara for the win

Better in actual vidyamo form though. Instead of fuzzy jpegs.

He has resonable prices from Birmingham to London.

This act seems very similar to an old MadTv episode. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4F7TMlrDXtw

He's got that fusion power
TellusEidolon
Dara O'Brian activated stealth mode *Poof!*
Greeneyeddevil
He's so funny and so ferociously smart as well.

Woah woah woah..There was a Futurama game?
scarycookiemonster
There was, but I don't think the above image is from the game. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futurama_%28video_game%29
citizenmnky
I have no clue! It was just a google result for the car name. Is there?? Holy shit that'd be awesome!
scarycookiemonster
There was: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futurama_%28video_game%29 Wasn't that great, but playable and good fan service

I love that he often co-hosts Stargazing live with Brian Cox, including an episode today (tomorrow?) for the New Horizons stuff!
shvmptl
Thanks for this, love Dara!
TheBrickumentarian
MeinGeheimnis
Love the fact I can read this and have him monologue it in my head perfectly, love this guy!
marksson
honestly though, it wasn't "vroom," it was "FOOM!"
BisexualKneeCap
Well I can hear your comment in your voice in my head. What does this tell you of me?
GeorgieLeech
That you've never heard their voice before and so lacking other context default to your own.
DezTurkish
(Could easily watch the video, but...) does he have a similar rhythm to Eddie Lizzard? That's how I ran his lines in my head :/
jsnen
lizzard lol - it's Izzard, but as for your question, no, not really. Dara is more...hectic, I'd say.
ogdrion
I could hear the eeh
weirdpuppy
I was doing British accent, was that right?
JamEngulfer
Nope, he's distinctly Irish.
OhSquiggilyLine
No he's Irish with a particularly distinctive voice
idownvoteplottwist
Which kind of British accent?
skinbin
Ireland isn't part of Britain
MrMcGeeIn3D
I have no idea who this guy is, and I still read it in an Irish accent.
irishnovember
OP I love you for only using .gifs when it added something. You are my new best friends.
sirelurksalot
+1 for opting into gifs when his body langauge improved the jokes.
joedohn
He buttons both buttons. :(
Idsertian
I fucking love Dara O'Briain! Discovered him while I was living in Ireland and every time he's been on Qi has been a treat.

gabot045
I thought this was Will Sasso at 1st and instantly thought of MadTV
larryface
Immediately what I thought of!
frostedbutler
Me too
RocknRollDr
My favorite bits from Dara are always his interactions with the audience
CFC44
I love it when he gets on to the boy for filming his show, and doesn't have the kid thrown out.
realGeorgelucas
I misread that as "My favourite brit" and I was about to get very annoyed. but yes, this is one of the best things, this and his games bit.
TheAwesomeCrazyMoth
i remember that kid that he talked to for taping his show. He just told him to buy the dvd because he was now in it
Eearslya
"I don't forget a thing, ya fucker. I don't forget a single thing you've said! Sharp as a tack, sharp as a tack."
LeftHandPanda
Definitely. His interaction with the audience means every show is different. Hes also really nice to them too.
LynxNord
"I's not some corny comedy thing, where I slag you off, I'll make Gods of you."
UnemployedInGreenland
The 5 blade razor is actually a Godsend. I have incredibly sensitive skin and having 5 blades distributes the pressure better >
o11c
I can't *stand* any razor with more than 3 blades.
PartyMagician
Yeah, it's not about “moar cutting”, it's about pressure distribution. I had a simple 2-blade before, and fusion takes much less effort
UnemployedInGreenland
And it irritates my skin SO much less. If I use a razor with 3 or less blades, my face looks like its been attacked by a rabid wolverine.
Dawnstempest
I can help you with that... For comparison purposes, totally. *Cocks rabid wolverine*. I'm the best there is at what I do, and what I do
Dawnstempest
isn't very nice.
TastyBrainMeats
The name is still incredibly stupid, though.
becauseofhisbloodyawfulpoetry
Less blades are better for sensitive skin. You should try a straight razor shave. More razors just make it harder to cut yourself.
UnemployedInGreenland
Also. +1 for your username :)
becauseofhisbloodyawfulpoetry
:D
UnemployedInGreenland
Ive tried straight razors and single blade cartridge razors. Ive tried everything. They all make me bleed severely - except the five blade.
becauseofhisbloodyawfulpoetry
Gotcha, yikes bleeding! Then yeah, more blades. I get the worst razor burn and my neck looks like I fell in poison oak unless I use a str8
hyperdistortion
Saw him live a few years ago, he was amazing. His "Solid Snake is the worst secret agent ever" bit had me crying with laughter.
Newjerseysuccesstory
Snake? Snake? SNAAAAKE!!!!
hyperdistortion
His grief undiminished each time, despite the incredible regularity with which Snake dies...
Nemain
He put his weapons into his items, his items into his weapons, and he spent half the time waddling around on his knees...
hyperdistortion
Then, when faced with an enemy robot? He gave it his rations.
Nemain
I just love how obvious it is that he's ACTUALLY played the game to know the processes enough to fiddle around with them xD
hyperdistortion
He's openly geeky, it's great. One of us... etc, haha.

labrat
Doesn't a lot of advertising treat us like we're dumb? Men are immature beer-drinkers and women are age-obsessed homemakers.
bridgebrain
It's Negging by professionals
diphiminaids
They sure know how to open a set.
PrincessMerida
It's true. While ads were very sexist towards women back in the day, today, they are sexist to both. It's awful what they portray guys as.
mateysaidwot
Messy, incompetent pigs? Yeah, actually. It's excruciating.
llortamai
Did someone say beer?
xVancha
A lot of us are dumb.
VioletCrow
You mean media propagates caricatures of men and women that don't resemble a real life personality in the least? Oh em gee!
labrat
Well..yes. that was my point. Elaborating on something from the post.
Flipittopwise
The thing is, they don't care about you. The ad is for that drunk 18 - 24 yo. Who is going to post a pic of his new razor, caption: "ladies"
SlickLily
*Age-obsessed homemakers who do gymnastics whilst on their period
InertiaCreeps
I saw a tampon ad a few days ago and with the lady jogging full-speed and hopping obstacles. So unrealistic.
thesethingsarestupid
Exactly. When I'm on my period I can barely get off the couch long enough to do much of anything. And I'm a mom
Psychethos
In white pants! Always with the white pants.
labrat
Oh, I would love to have expanded both the male and female stereotypes presented by ads. Stupid character limits.
thesethingsarestupid
Yes
rumandbass
White men are also the incompetent half-wits who can't do anything right. Good thing smart wifey is there to make it all better!
labrat
I'm not sure why you're being downvoted. That is exactly what all commercials for home- or children-centered products imply.
rumandbass
probably because I made it a race thing. In general, men are the butt of every consumer goods commercial.
labrat
Well, TV on the whole tends to be pretty white-washed. So it's more like you correctly identified it as a race thing.
NorfolkBoy
And we're also only going to buy it if attractive women smile about it. Both Genders. Have you ever seen the Gruen Transfer?
mmmmmmShaiHulud
Also mums are over worked and can't stop for a second or they'll die. Whilst Dads are idiots who shove pencils up their noses
LuckyICantSeeFarWithThisLeg
The smart ones don't send a lot of money.
whyexactly
To be fair though, they kind of have to direct the ads for anti-aging products towards women who don't want to age.
labrat
The implication of those ads is that aging is bad. And none of them seem to be directed at men. So only women should try to hide their age.
alundra828
And their kids clothes are filthy.
accipiter
Don't forget that women have horrific trouble pooping so we all need special yogurt so we don't turn into constipated poop monsters.
ArdentSlacker
I tend to suspect that advertisement works best on the dumb. Most desirable demographic. And why smart shows die.
odraencoded
Most people are dumb. If you are selling a product that is consumed by most people, then you can treat your viewers like that justifiably.
suretoast
I wonder what would happen over the course of 50 years if we treated people like they were all smart
bridgebrain
Tumblr
odraencoded
I have no idea. But I'm sure people wouldn't become smarter just because the ads are not dumb anymore.
jadespider
This is why I turned off my TV 5 years ago, I buy turbo on twitch or netflix, and I use ad-block. When you cut out 90% of the marketing >
jadespider
>the bits that are still there just become so blatantly obvious and stupid.
clarkia
Yay ad block !

You mean all women are not losing their minds trying to get a stain out of a shirt?

FeckItImAubreyPlazaNow
"Out, damned spot!" Indeed.
parkanov
ads don't impress you or challenge your wit, that's not their job. they carve the brand's mark into your deep memory so when you must (1/2)
labrat
You're right, for the most part. But some commercials actually appeal to our logic and actual needs.
parkanov
(2/2) decide between equally new things, you intuitively hover towards the ones that seem to ring a bell, long after the ad is forgotten.
mateysaidwot
and yet somehow, I still hate Dove chocolate and avoid it specifically.
parkanov
that's brand awareness for you - resentful, but it still counts. doesn't make you buy any, but you won't forget the name of that nasty crap
DesiredUsernameWasTaken
Also, in commercials, yogurt's eaten pretty much exclusively by women for some reason.
WhimsicalCalamari
Except for Powerful Yogurt. "Reveal your inner abs" like seriously?
DesiredUsernameWasTaken
Pfft, "Abs". I have one really big ab. Quality over quantity.
myapartmentsinfestedwithkoalabears
Women and John Stamos
FlatPlutoSociety
And chocolate as well, for some reason.
healthyasfuck
Well it is really good for vaginal health with all them probiotics there.
Megabyte1024
There was an ad in the uk a few years ago for activia, and the guy was sneaking into thr fridge to get the yogurt like is was girls only
opad
I feel like Burn Notice tried to counter balance that

VulcanP90
I'm a dude and I have like a half a gallon of Chobani in the fridge.
mateysaidwot
Yoghurt is eaten by svelte, yoga-pant-wearing sylphs - with teaspoons. Ice cream is consumed by PJ-wearing, bearded trolls - face-first.
gondring
Research has shown that yogurt consumption is good for maintaining the flora of certain anatomical parts that men don't have. You're welcome
healthyasfuck
It's good for vaginas. Vagina is the word you are looking for.
irrationallime
And salad too
labrat
I think it's cuz yogurt is seen as healthy, and even a weight loss aid. Obviously women have to be/are the only ones concerned about weight.
KeatonX92
Fuck that shit. I'm a man who eats Activia and I fucking love it!
EpicPublixCustomerServiceStaff
Except Cam Newton :)
BlobbyJr
And chocolate! Don't forget chocolate

!!!! I HAVE GREEK YOGURT IN THE FRIDGE. Thank you for reminding me. I'm going to go eat some.
DiscomfortZone
Activiaaaaa
WowSoSparkly
Yogurt is no food for a manly man, and everybody knows only women manage what goes on the shopping list anyway amirite?
badacha
Granola and yogurt, man.
erikoftheloin
They even shop for single men! The local women are the only ones allowed in the market, you must 1/2
erikoftheloin
apply for a female as soon as you can! But honestly this shit is ridiculous. 2/2
ossius
Tell that to Burn notice.
battery1979
Burn Notice was the best yogurt commercial for men ever. +1 to you.
PinPointSnarkuracy
Tell that to Terry Crews (fun fact, he's from Flint Michigan)
WowSoSparkly
Hey, leave Terry alone, Terry needs nutrients, it's.... it's not the same, ok?
WeFoundSomethingBeneathTheIce
It's all good. I just watch Brooklyn 99 to remember that men like yogurt too. Terry loves yogurt.
onionstick
Do you also find it strangely pleasing that in the opening credits his real name is the same as his show name?
WeFoundSomethingBeneathTheIce
Yes. Yes I do :)
KaneToth
Michael Weston (Jeff Donovan) does too! Thank you Burn Notice for looking out for us yogurt eating doods.
nothisisntme
Unless you're a teen, then you've gotta eat your yogurt from a tube, a radical tube
yogurtandstuff
Loooool
rumandbass
you might even describe it as...tubular, dude
FatchRacall
... Get out.
Trekker47
Because women get "that bloated, yucky feeling", obviously.
zigzagler
Because they're not farting enough. Ladies, don't contain your toots- it's for your health.
Txtcat
I'm a man, and I eat my yogurt.
lizabean
For some reason, thick, gloppy yogurt is never my go-to snack when I feel "bloated and yucky". But maybe that's just me
