I actually knew a guy who had a burglar in his house. He had just got out of the shower, and he was a big collector of stuff from Medieval and Renaissance fairs. When he heard someone was in the house, he stripped off what clothes he had on, grabbed a big-ass claymore, and ran screaming through the house yelling "HAIL SATAAAAAAAN!!!" at the top of his lungs. As it turns out, most burglars aren't prepared to be attacked by a naked screeching guy with a sword, and tend to run away.
***** I was just running through what I'd do. Then I read this. Man from the pub who helped me with my garden left his machete with my gardening tools. I'm pretty naked thanks to the heat. All I'm missing is a good 'Hail Satan' voice. I'm almost ready. Burglars beware.
***** ive got lots of katanas. So ill strip to underwear grab my katana and run at him screaming "praise be to allah" LOL that would scare the shit out of him
+simpsonsim07 when it happened to me, I couldn't find any weapons so I used a skillet a crock pot and an oven door before I finished with a fork. the prosecutor said that was a lucky choice because weapons that look like weapons are likely to get a defender in trouble.
My sisters solution was awesome. Her first apartment in college, she put a note on the front door. It read thusly, "Dear potential burglar, I'm not worth robbing. I'm an unemployed art major in college. I don't have a TV or stereo, just some art supplies, a lumpy mattress, and non-working game boy circa 1985 that's covered in paint. My microwave was maybe $20 brand new, and it barely works. Just save us both the trouble and pick one of the trust fund kids."
This is why I never fix cosmetic issues that don't affect function. When I had a car, the door handle broke. So I jerry-rigged an Allen wrench in there and had a new door handle that both worked and warded off potential car thieves.
@@India.H many comedians do the same thing but they move on to their main material quickly after that. Dara uses the audience as material as if he planned this ahead. Similar to Russell Peters, in a way.
@patrick gabrielson I would say they’re both top tier at incorporating the audience. Jimmy tends to incorporate the audience’s mothers quite a bit, while Dara is more of a teasing tone. Don’t get me wrong, everyone knows they’re both joking (well, almost everyone). I’m in the US and really can’t think of a comic here who does this sort of interaction as much or as well.
The thought of running into a really big, angry person is sure to be a deterrent to a break in. After I moved out, and my dad passed on, my mom asked me for a pair of my old boots (I wear a size 16). She put them on the mud tray, on the outside of the front door. No one ever tried to break in.
If you're being burgled, go up to them naked and say: "Where have you been? You're late, we're all upstairs waiting. Come on'. It'll freak the life out of them.
A friend of the family in Argentina was heavily pregnant when she confronted a burglar. She stood to full height and said in an authoritative voice "young man you should be ashamed of yourself. Put that down right now and go home". He did the sign of tye cross and ran out. My mum reckons that he thought he had seen a vision of the Virgin Mary!! 😂😂😂😂
The whole peekaboo thing has become such an ongoing joke with a friend of mine that I recorded just that bit and made it into a ringtone for my cell phone.

Dara actually did exactly that once (with creepy doll music) to prank his wife from another country. His wife phoned him shortly after and told him she was on call (being a surgeon) at the hospital, but the babysitter was freaking out. Naturally, it became part of his routine.

I don’t think you meant to say that God is a false demigod.
My cousin (6"4, muscular dude) once heard someone in his house so he stripped naked and ran into the room with a frying pan screaming "the doctor will see you now!!". That worked pretty well.
If Dara had a burglar, he could just burst open the door and yell as loud as he could and scare the absolute shit out of anyone. They'd either think it was a massive bald bear, or shrek.
Or, walk slowly towards him while speaking backwards, eyes rolled back, head slightly tilted to the side and get progressively louder as you come near to him.
I was at a show and shouted "an aroused moan" (my idea being that the idea of unrequited and aggressive sexual conduct would be scary for a burglar) as a suggestion. I ended up having to perform my idea of what such an aroused moan would sound like, much to Dara's amusement. I went to the show with my father, who sat next to me. Cheeks did flush with blood.

I stopped an attempted burglary when I was eight. I'd fallen asleep on the couch while watching TV with my parents in the den, which faced the back garden through a sliding glass door. I woke up around 2 a.m. to see two hunched, dark figures. It took me a while to determine that they weren't animals but people trying to force the bolt on the back door. I had a plan, but as backup I grabbed a poker in case of a physical confrontation and the phone if it became necessary to dial the police. Reasoning that they'd be fairly anxious trying to break in without being detected, I decided that making a sudden loud noise and then flashing on the outside lights would probably scare them off. And that's exactly what I did. I banged five times on the glass with my fist as hard as my 8-year-old body could manage and then flicked the lights on and dove out of sight, so they wouldn't see their opponent was just a little boy. It was a tense couple of minutes before I decided to put my head out and see if it worked, but it did. They had run off, leaving only a little bit of damage to the wood of the door jamb as a testament to ever having been there.
I hide knives around my house. Have done since I was much too young to be using knives. And considering I laugh hysterically when I'm scared, I reckon I'd come off kore unsettling than him.
+Ray McGrath I keep a pair of baseball bats with the handles sticking out in my closet for just such an occasion. Granted I was never very good at hitting baseballs with them but I think hitting a human being would be much easier.
As per statistics in the US, if there's an intruder in the house at night, that intruder is going to be of the violent variety. That intruder is not there JUST for the valuables, and you need to get out as fast as possible. The ones that break in during daylight hours, while most people are at work, are the smash and grab type burglars.
if he is on the other side of a door, got a fire axe or something like that, and start to smash open the door, I guarantee you he will be running for the nearest window
+LemonZeppelin Depends if they have weapons or not. If they are prepared to attack someone because they think they could get away with it, then being naked only makes it easier... That said, if you charge them while naked and screaming incoherent shite at them, they're probably gonna panic.
***** True, a naked person would easily be killed. But then again there are two reasons to fear a naked person. 1) They KNOW that they have left a lot of soft-spots open and thus have some kind of plan for that, or they're just that badass they don't need protection. 2) They DON'T know that they have left a lot of soft-spots open, implying they are batshit crazy. Nobody wants to fight a person like that.
I once suspected a room-mate of stealing my paycheques. I knew he was very religious, so I searched for some satanic symbols online and drew them on the envelope, alongside some made-up Latin. For good measure, I hid the envelope inside a dvd box, which was inside my padlocked backpack. When I came back from work, my backpack looked untouched. I opened it, the envelope wasn't there -it was as if it had disappeared. I was starting to panic when my other room-mate, with the envelope in hand, said he'd found it on the floor. My guess: the thieving bastard picked my lock, hastily took the envelope, put everything back where it was, but then realised the cheque had pentagrams and the other stuff. He then, got scared and tossed it.
So, it's Christmas time, 1981. I'm a 21 year old sailor living in an apartment with two other guys from my squadron in a marginal neighborhood just outside of San Diego (Imperial Beach, to be exact). It was a low-income neighborhood, populated by a mix of retirees, mechanics, dope dealers, sailors and other sketchy types. During the day, the place was ok, but nights were different. The neighborhood was prone to auto and house burglaries. The entrance to the apartment was in a dirt alley which doubled as a parking area. My room mate had is car broken into and stereo stolen while parked there one night as did a couple neighbors. One night, as we drove up the alley after getting off duty (this was like around 2AM), we caught the beach rat whom we'd seen lurking around the neighborhood before trying to hide from our headlights. We figured him for the auto burglar. So what I'm getting at is that it was a dicey neighborhood. Anyway, it's Christmas time and I've just come back from Christmas leave. Both my other room mates are still on leave. One room mate (Ken) left for leave the day I came home, the other room mate wasn't due back from his Xmas leave for 4 more days. Around 2AM I heard the door knob on the front door rattle. I sat upright in bed wondering if I'd imagined it. Then I heard it rattle again followed by what sounded like the door being shouldered in. No way did I imagine that. So I jumped out of bed and loaded my Colt M1911 .45, including putting a round in the tube. I leaned out my doorway and thought "Ok, all the lights are off but if this is Ken or Matt, they will turn the lights on as they make their way into and through the apartment". Nope, whomever it was didn't turn on any lights. My heart was pounding. Through the darkness I could see this hulking form weaving side-to-side as he made his way down the hallway towards my bedroom. I took careful aim, center of mass, and started to pull the trigger. Then something inside me said "Wait. Give this fucker ONE chance". So I cycled the thumb safety on my pistol on then off. The image stopped about 10 feet short of me. Once again, I started to apply pressure slowly to the trigger when I heard out of the darkness "Mike????". Jesus, it was my room mate Matt coming home from Xmas leave FOUR DAYS EARLY!!! That just doesn't happen in the Navy. No sailor EVER reports back to his command EARLY. Now, the thing is, Matt and I didn't get along too well and I have to confess that the thought of pulling the trigger anyway did cross my mind, if only for the briefest of moments, but I knew I'd land at least 7 years in Portsmouth Naval Prison, so I wished him a Merry Christmas and told him how close he came to being shot dead. So, if you are ever in the same situation, and if you've a gun, see how the burglar reacts to the click-click of a safety being cycled.
Last week I woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of a break in. I draped a big floaty scarf over my shoulders, then proceeded to screech and thunder downstairs. When I reached the living room, I locked eyes with him and continued my performance. Judging by the smell that lingered after he left, pretty sure he shat himself
Couldn't help but think that with modern home automation, you probably _could_ back up "peekaboo" with some jack in the box music, and possibly the lights switching on but in a flickering red rather than a normal white. Throw in some infrasound and the burglar will really start shitting themselves!
my mum's had trouble sleeping lately. I heard a noise from the kitchen, and thought she must be up there, but when I walked past her room, I realised she was asleep there. no one else in the house. went upstairs kind of creeped out, and screamed when my cat patted me in the face as I walked past the banister.
Haha that'd work in Newfoundland as well. Well, maybe not St.John's, but "I knows yer mudder..." would definitely work for most Newfie burglars I imagine, if that's a thing that exists. That or "How's yer fadder?"

I don't have a cat so I'll have to stroke my toy snake instead
ooo that gave me an idea. id let my three snakes loose in the room and RELEASE THE LIZARDS!!! mwahahaha
then id say nothing... id just laugh and laugh
Is toy snake a euphemism?
at 6:00 I was legitimately reduced to a teary-eyed mess on the floor, unable to breathe through my own choking laughter.
7:19
Oh Irish people, you are the best....
The fucking best!
Well I'm a knife collector, so I have a choice to pick from. You brake into my home, you're not leaving.
ohman
everytime I see this the "Get tae fuck" cracks me the fuck up
TY so much for uploading this! I still cry laughing at this part and I'm still surprised it hasn't been posted before.
As per statistics in the US, if there's an intruder in the house at night, that intruder is going to be of the violent variety. That intruder is not there JUST for the valuables, and you need to get out as fast as possible. The ones that break in during daylight hours, while most people are at work, are the smash and grab type burglars.
I'd just open the door very fast and would angrily shout "Who's there" with the craziest and most intimidating stance I could think of
MasterShakeXYZ At your mom's.
if he is on the other side of a door, got a fire axe or something like that, and start to smash open the door, I guarantee you he will be running for the nearest window
I would be as quiet as possible to get to the door, the burglar opens the door and in the creepiest way I could, I would simply say...
Boo!
Ahahahaha!
+johannes nordeng why don't you shout "Heeeeere's Johnny!" too while you're at it
Deadbolt me and the cat in my safe room and hope the burgler takes the stuff for the Goodwill so I don't have to cart it out myself.
I would just get naked. Nobody wants to rob the naked guy.
+LemonZeppelin Depends if they have weapons or not. If they are prepared to attack someone because they think they could get away with it, then being naked only makes it easier...
That said, if you charge them while naked and screaming incoherent shite at them, they're probably gonna panic.

True, a naked person would easily be killed. But then again there are two reasons to fear a naked person.
1) They KNOW that they have left a lot of soft-spots open and thus have some kind of plan for that, or they're just that badass they don't need protection.
2) They DON'T know that they have left a lot of soft-spots open, implying they are batshit crazy. Nobody wants to fight a person like that.
excellent... perfect timing, i was just about to run out of ingredients....
I once suspected a room-mate of stealing my paycheques. I knew he was very religious, so I searched for some satanic symbols online and drew them on the envelope, alongside some made-up Latin. For good measure, I hid the envelope inside a dvd box, which was inside my padlocked backpack. When I came back from work, my backpack looked untouched. I opened it, the envelope wasn't there -it was as if it had disappeared. I was starting to panic when my other room-mate, with the envelope in hand, said he'd found it on the floor.
My guess: the thieving bastard picked my lock, hastily took the envelope, put everything back where it was, but then realised the cheque had pentagrams and the other stuff. He then, got scared and tossed it.
'' Well Ma I guess we're eating tonight after all '' .or just play the outro from this video on really high volume.
Blast either death metal or Toccata and Fugue in full volume and yell "Praise Lucifer! Another offering has arrived!"
So, it's Christmas time, 1981. I'm a 21 year old sailor living in an apartment with two other guys from my squadron in a marginal neighborhood just outside of San Diego (Imperial Beach, to be exact). It was a low-income neighborhood, populated by a mix of retirees, mechanics, dope dealers, sailors and other sketchy types. During the day, the place was ok, but nights were different. The neighborhood was prone to auto and house burglaries. The entrance to the apartment was in a dirt alley which doubled as a parking area. My room mate had is car broken into and stereo stolen while parked there one night as did a couple neighbors. One night, as we drove up the alley after getting off duty (this was like around 2AM), we caught the beach rat whom we'd seen lurking around the neighborhood before trying to hide from our headlights. We figured him for the auto burglar. So what I'm getting at is that it was a dicey neighborhood. Anyway, it's Christmas time and I've just come back from Christmas leave. Both my other room mates are still on leave. One room mate (Ken) left for leave the day I came home, the other room mate wasn't due back from his Xmas leave for 4 more days. Around 2AM I heard the door knob on the front door rattle. I sat upright in bed wondering if I'd imagined it. Then I heard it rattle again followed by what sounded like the door being shouldered in. No way did I imagine that. So I jumped out of bed and loaded my Colt M1911 .45, including putting a round in the tube. I leaned out my doorway and thought "Ok, all the lights are off but if this is Ken or Matt, they will turn the lights on as they make their way into and through the apartment". Nope, whomever it was didn't turn on any lights. My heart was pounding. Through the darkness I could see this hulking form weaving side-to-side as he made his way down the hallway towards my bedroom. I took careful aim, center of mass, and started to pull the trigger. Then something inside me said "Wait. Give this fucker ONE chance". So I cycled the thumb safety on my pistol on then off. The image stopped about 10 feet short of me. Once again, I started to apply pressure slowly to the trigger when I heard out of the darkness "Mike????". Jesus, it was my room mate Matt coming home from Xmas leave FOUR DAYS EARLY!!! That just doesn't happen in the Navy. No sailor EVER reports back to his command EARLY. Now, the thing is, Matt and I didn't get along too well and I have to confess that the thought of pulling the trigger anyway did cross my mind, if only for the briefest of moments, but I knew I'd land at least 7 years in Portsmouth Naval Prison, so I wished him a Merry Christmas and told him how close he came to being shot dead. So, if you are ever in the same situation, and if you've a gun, see how the burglar reacts to the click-click of a safety being cycled.
Last week I woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of a break in. I draped a big floaty scarf over my shoulders, then proceeded to screech and thunder downstairs. When I reached the living room, I locked eyes with him and continued my performance. Judging by the smell that lingered after he left, pretty sure he shat himself
Personally I'd just go for "Oi!" and then smash their head into the kitchen worktop
An ecstatic breathy, "Oh, at last!"
I still come here all these years later for the smile
"I will be up when the burglar comes." 😂😂😂
In an exited voice scream, "We have another one get the strap on and the lube I'll get the knives and preheat the oven."
I'd walk in like "do you want a cup of tea?"
YOU PICKED THE WRONG HOUSE FOOL!!!!
I'd whisper through the door "Did you bring the Vaseline and cucumbers?"
I would remotely turn on my hifi and start blasting ride of the Valkyrie's very loudly
*in a sing-song voice* two-by-two, hands of blue. Two-by-two, they come for you.
River Tam tends to have a creepifyin' affect on people.
"Peek a boo!" I'm crying laughter XD
And, why, when I click the 'i' button do ads for rubber mallets come up?
It's a lot scarer than knock knock isnt it? Knock knock seems like a long time ago now 😂😂😂 kills me every time!
"well, looks like we got ourselves a fresh one"
I would go
*"You picked the wrong house FOOL!"*
watching this man more and more....such fast paced thinking....so funny
"Would You like to play a game?"
Just shout PERKELE!
No matter the place or time people will know you're angry.
when i saw this section on the dvd and it came to the peak-a-boo part i was in stitches for a good five minutes. still gets me every time
Couldn't help but think that with modern home automation, you probably _could_ back up "peekaboo" with some jack in the box music, and possibly the lights switching on but in a flickering red rather than a normal white. Throw in some infrasound and the burglar will really start shitting themselves!
my mum's had trouble sleeping lately. I heard a noise from the kitchen, and thought she must be up there, but when I walked past her room, I realised she was asleep there. no one else in the house. went upstairs kind of creeped out, and screamed when my cat patted me in the face as I walked past the banister.
put dueling banjos on the stereo, go into the next room and start saying "here, piggy piggy."
Hey, Zeke. Looks like we got us another one.
"You gotta purdy mouth...."
I chased a burglar out my garage and only thing I could think of as he jumped over my fence was to shout " I know where you live ' 😂
"You came to the wrong house, bub."
Haha that'd work in Newfoundland as well. Well, maybe not St.John's, but "I knows yer mudder..." would definitely work for most Newfie burglars I imagine, if that's a thing that exists. That or "How's yer fadder?"
i'd go down naked with a whip goign 'Helo. I;ve been looking forward to this for a long time!' (do it in a camp voice)
What do you say?
"Ooooh, fresh victims"
I would do my weird squeaky voice that comes out to play occasionally whilst hiding somewhere
