Breaks my heart.

Self depreciating humor is nothing new. Are you actually offended by it or are you just offended by the audience he happens to be performing in front of?

galwayrush

Big Bottom

Red Hand

Well he wouldn't be the first. Alot of irish went across the stream and forgot where they came from. Well that is until Terry Wogan remembered were shannon airport is.

annfield1978

scandalous

B.A._Baracus

He is irish so it's allowed, he is a comedian doing what he is paid to do, making people laugh.

MMAGirl

I never get offended by anything. But that broke my heart to listen to.

I cant quote it properly but you can listen to it on BBC player if you want to hear it.

If you don't know who the person is try googling their name. I do it all the time and find out lots of interesting stuff about people.

TEMPLAR KNIGHT

If you watch him on mock the week he never shys away from where he comes from and any time another member makes a joke about Ireland he stands up for Ireland I've seen the live at the Apollo show and you are so over reacting!

You spelled tractor wrong

Rothko

If he was taking the piss out of another country, would you have started a thread? You should try having a sense a humour.

Yeh just saw that. He used to be very protective of Ireland but now he takes the queens shilling, he gives us two fingers.

F You Dara O'Briain, F**k you !

Is it not the fact they are irish themselves and know the irish humour?
Terry Wogan is king.

Watching BBC player?

This breaks my heart.

Irish people betraying our state broadcaster by watching dirty foreign television.

FOR SHAME!

poeticseraphim

Good on him....I like to laugh:-) For god's sake if you criticize Ireland or dislike anything your 'fellow Irish men ' turn on you..screw that

Ireland you're crap.....you know it


Suck comedy's balls.....:-P

OP go back to the humourless rock that is ...erm...yo mama?

I love it when people take the piss...


Irish hatred is not self hatred on my part .....It is YOU hatred ..you know who you are...

Seriously OP you are the type that of Irish person that annoys me when I see you abroad i avoid you

Anyway he is not taking the piss out of me...he is taking the piss out of all of you :-P

Ye Irish Basterds..hahahhahhahahhahahahha

markie29

Most comedians take the piss out of the country they come from or the city they are from...nothing new there.

That is very unparliamentary language.

humanji

Is it worth putting up a poll so people can bet on whether this is a huge over reaction or not?

Cienciano

Dara O'Briain is a legend.

That is all.

fatherbuzcagney

Is he telling jokes or telling the truth?

DEFTLEFTHAND

In the immortal words of the late 'racist' comedian Bernard Manning, 'Always remember that it's only a joke, don't look for something that's not there.'

AngeGal

Could someone offer a rough idea of what he said?

HeyThereDeliah

What was the joke?

Jimoslimos

Yeah damn right OP, he should be like Jim Davidson and his ilk, taking the piss out of other races and nationalities.

HemlockOption

What channel?

Shenshen

No idea hat he said, I only switched over when I saw this post.

There's a Scot on now taking the piss out of Scottish people.... Any complaints?

you can't watch BBC player here without spoofing a UK IP, that is, pretending to be from the UK.

For shame, MMAGirl, For shame

Dont be ridiculous! look at you trying to give a point to this specifically pointless thread!

Ellis Dee

it's called humour, which inevitably offends someone. Especially those with no sense of it. :rolleyes:

Anyway, I bet it's nowhere near as scathing as some of the things I can imagine stand up comedians in Bengaluru must be saying about the Irish since we allowed a young Kannadiga woman to die unnecessarily just because of one of our quainter superstitions. :D

Topper Harley

I've seen a few of his shows (not sure if I've seen the one the OP is talking about) and he takes the piss out of us along with the Brits and everyone else not to mention himself.

One that comes to mind is about all Irish people abroad writing "IRELAND" In caps on letters home.

But he never shies away from his Irishness and includes it in his act.

Sound of Silence

I'm not offended by the topic. I'm offended by the quality of the jokes.

If you want a true master of Irish self deprecation, there's only one.

Yeah they reacted very badly.
They just announced Independance, are leaving the UK as a result and closing the border now.

Yer man is stuck there with them english snakes for ever.
"NNOoooooooooooo !!!!!!!" :eek:

Seaneh

I'd rather have Dara O'Briain taking the piss out of Ireland than that yank wanker Des Bishop.
Unfunny cock has made a career from telling Irish audiences that Irish people are stupid.
