Not one 'err' are you sure that's Dara?
CivilizedUndead
I love this guy, everytime I see him on Imgur, I upvote. Sad I don't see him a lot.

Search YouTube for "Mock the Week"
VladimirPutinMyBallsInYourFace
some of his gigs are on youtube, hes absolutely brilliant at stand up and his interaction with the audience is the best of any comedian.
LiJasMom
Dara is ridiculously funny.
TheManInTown
I love looking for British television, even though it can be hard since I'm American. Mock the Week is great; and Dara hosts it to boot :D
CitizenDickbag
One of the funniest men on the planet, and absurdly nice to boot.

I went to one of his shows last month, I got stomach pain from the non stop laughing. His delivery of jokes is world class.
chettlar
I think part of what keeps you laughing is that he can improvise so well, so you don't expect it, so its even funnier.

SNL did a skit in the 70s about 4 blades. MadTV did a basically the same skit in the 90s with 20 blades.
stopdropandrollout
As soon as i realized the joke, i immediately thought of SNL. The joke is over played now.
Yourippaadeespantsyoumendadeespants
The Onion did it in the 2000s http://www.theonion.com/blogpost/fuck-everything-were-doing-five-blades-11056

*3 blades, sorry.
PleaseSendMePizzaRolls
Back when MadTV was actually good.
OliBShoutin
MADTV did it first https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjAZnGeBcgg
ToastyPotato
Even better though is that 3 blades was the max at the time, IIRC.

This also predates MadTV by 2 years apparently. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omTCrwHQMcw

Safety razor with one sharp blade.
DickDastardly404
I'd use one of those if I wasn't disappointed with the size of my dick or the unslicedness of my throat. 2/2
JamBarn
Safety razor, not a straight razor. Safety razors are super easy to shave with. I knick myself far less than I ever did with a cartridge.
DickDastardly404
oh well shit I need to read better I use a safety razor damn

I met Dara once at a comic signing here in Dublin. Fucking great guy. Also we share the same name!
athaclena
I didn't know of any O'Briains besides Dara and Dara's father!
introducedspecies
my name is Daragh so I kinda do too :D
PedalStool
Hi Dara

The pub lord? (I know who the pub lord is, this was just one of his jokes in his last Ireland tour)

whats your name?

Dara. Same spelling and everything!

Dara the Explara.
mmmchickenfriedrice
Did anyone else read this with his accent?
Dowtchaboy
Accent? Dara hasn't got an accent.
mmmchickenfriedrice
He's definitely got an Irish accent
Tickytacky
And then I thought, oh maybe he doesn't have an accent. I wonder if anyone else did that
Tickytacky
Yes!!
amluan
Heard it in his voice :D
NoSchoolLiketheOldSchool
Especially the "click. Vroom! It's gone!" bit. I now have to go watch this whole special again.
fiera
I don't know his voice but for some reason I hear a UK accent.
amluan
He's Irish :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVxOb8-d7Ic
lisp
But he tones it down a little for British TV (MTW)
JohnFloorwalker
Wasn't I supposed to capitalize the B in O'Brian? God damn it!
Snooj
Nice work spelling it correctly in the title (without caps) but not in your comment (with caps). You haven't gotten it correct yet. :-)

Bad luck Brian
UntamedGamer16
Bad Luck briain
InitHello
You could also spell his name Dara Ó Briain. Interestingly, that's where the American name O'Brian comes from.
Rabh
Whats American about it? Its an Anglisation of an Irish name
InitHello
Fair point. Non-Irish version, then.
PigeonFace
As an Irish person, it depends on the person really. Also, isn't his band O'Briain?
CanadaEhBuddy
@op this is one of my all time favourite standup shows, thanks!

I think its a shame that OPs have to apologize and ease the crowd with every mistake they make on this site. Its disgusting to say the least
McTravDad
I was just about to ask how to pronounce his name o.O thanks
LearnedCoward
O'Breen
icameinlikeafeckingball
I think Dara consistently spells it the Irish way, i.e. Dara Ó Briain.
PigeonFace
Imagine if he spelled his first name the Irish way, Daragh can be so hard for people to remember
icameinlikeafeckingball
But isn’t Daragh only a variant of Dara? I think Dara’s Irish as well.
PigeonFace
They are, yeah, but Dara is considered different even though it's just the difference between west and east/north.
icameinlikeafeckingball
Ah thanks, I didn’t realise they were regional varieties, I just thought they were variant spellings like Jon and John.
TheLANBeforeTime
Try Siobhán.
Collaborativelmgur
I wonder how many guys have asked an Irish girl's name and the accent made them think they were being told to get lost... "Shove on!"
GraysonHunt
We'd mainly be confused by the use of the term "shove on"
PigeonFace
I never thought of that! Wow! XD
Pumbaa401
You also misspelt Brian but sure ;)
HelpMeMortyAndSummer
Nope, his name is actually spelt the way OP has it in the title. It's pronounced Oh-bree-in.
Pumbaa401
Stupid attempt by me to appear funny. 0/10 will not try again.
HelpMeMortyAndSummer
Sorry. I didn't cop that. :P
madjo
Actually in the title OP spelled Briain correctly. But it is Dara Ó Briain.
Pumbaa401
I know stupid attempt on my part to be funny I won't try it again :(
JohnFloorwalker
I'm a self-loathing Grammar Nazi because I can't spell. :( I think I came up with a new Bad Luck Brian meme.
mountainofpuppies
don't worry, the irish language is a complete and utter NIGHTMARE as regards spelling
Pumbaa401
Are you sure you don't mean Bad Luck O'briain?
JohnFloorwalker
That double text was just my phone being stupid.
JohnFloorwalker
His actual name is Dara Dara O'Briain. You can Google it.
Pumbaa401
I know, I've seen him live a few times and met him once. I was hoping me correcting Brian would be seen as the sarcasm is was lol
daclownie
All well and good 'cept that Fusion shave is WAY smoother than the Mach 3 one. Just saying.
JamBarn
But still massively overpriced compared to a regular safety razor with nearly free disposable blades.
TooLazyToDoSomethingElse
Idk the comfort makes the difference.
rudejohn
The regular safety razors pull at my beard, leave me with ingrown hairs, and cause me to have to go over the same patch of skin 3-4 times.
TheMu
Sounds more like a technique issue than a problem with the blades. Watch some videos and give it another shot.
dangninny
Some people have more sensitive skin than others. Fusions use the 5 blades as 1 big blade for less irritation. Increased surface area, etc
nowitsshowtime
I always thought for those with sensitive skin, the best method is quality prep, lather, and fresh sharp blade. Shouldnt be using a blade
rudejohn
I've been shaving for 23 years. My technique is fine - the 5 blade razors just make life easier.
somnif
Have you tried dollar shave club's 5 blade? Its 9$ for 4 blades, may be worth a shot if only to experiment.
JamBarn
Eh, the technique for a safety razor and cartridge are different but to each their own. Go with what works for you.

equally specific reference in a very specific episode of a very specific show about a very specific company in a very specific country.
rovingtiger
For the Americans, from his topic panel show Mock the Week
Vedar
And the rest of the world apart from the UK... I'm pretty sure it's only us that have the Megabus.
lisp
Actually it appears the same company (with the same logo on the back) runs the Megabus here, too. A friend takes the bus back home...
brainfizz
*Are lucky enough to get the MEGABUS!!!
lisp
...every so often, and recently I decided to check if it had the same advertising. Sure enough, when we went to pick him up, it was the same
Worble
Very specific reference to a very specific thing in a very specific episode of a specific show. Good Luck America.
TheLANBeforeTime
As a Brit, I can't remember if it's Mock the Week or QI. I'm guessing Mock the Week?
Worble
Mock the Week yes. Youtube the segment if you are interested, very funny.
Bisright
*very specific reference in a very specific episode of a very specific show about a very specific company in a very specific country.
Worble
Haha... we have to go deeper!
DrYoloMcSwagmasterIIIEsq
I don't think that Canada, the US, UK, and EU count as a "very specific country"
ActuallyUnpopularOpinions
The EU sure as shit doesn't, but how exactly do the rest not qualify?
DrYoloMcSwagmasterIIIEsq
Because they are more than one country. Three countries, actually.
Bisright
Is mega bus outside the uk???
DrYoloMcSwagmasterIIIEsq
Megabus Europe is mostly in the UK, but has limited routes in the rest of the EU. Magabus North America is pretty widespread
Teddythewonderllama
Canadian here. Mock the week?
Worble
Yes. There is an episode where they mock Dara for looking like the mascot for a bus/coach transport company called Megabus (google it)
Teddythewonderllama
I've seen every episode of mock the week, I remember this one. Really stopped watching it tho after Frankie left the show.
3point141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105
There's megabus in the US, Canada and EU. It's not just a UK thing
Ayxu22
mega bus woorld wideeeee *whispers* wide.. wide.. wide
Worble
2/2 upon googling it is a British company but expanded. Thanks for the prompt, wiki page is interesting.
Worble
Thank you for the correction. I had no idea since the mascot design reminds me so much of Toby jugs which are very very british.
Vedar
Does it have the same face on the back?
