One of my favourite comedian! Thanks for all you do and the comfort you've provided me with your humour. I love to visit Iran one day, and experience some of the capture you singlehandedly introduced to the World. Great 👌
This reminded me of something when i was a kid. A ball or something went into a very muddy field in a place where the cattle would be fed. Some of it was liquid and was only a few inches deep. This was fine. I was wearing rubber boots. It was the bits on the edged that were frozen that were dangerous. They were a lot deeper. I didnt realize and thought they were solid. The ice cracked and my boot went in. I wasnt worried, so i shouted to my sister to get my dad to come and help pull me out. Before he had a chance to come, I saw a cow heading for me. I wasnt able to move my boots, which were stuck in the mud, and scared of being trampled, I pulled my feet out of my boots and ran. I was just reminded of this charming little incident from all those years ago, because even after a change of clothes and a long hot shower, i still stank. Obviously this is nothing compared to Omid's ordeal. If my "stuck in shit experience" was bronze, his was definitely platinum.
So, glad I bumped into this video. I love his comedy and ability to fully understand and straddle two cultures. His bit about his mother I very familiar theme of Iranian mothers. Hilarious.
Combination of comedy and Philosophy , comedians are super intelligent ppl can control humans in right direction not in religious way that’s him ... one of kind
Nima - Me too ! A very intelligent and enlightened man with a lot of wit thrown in .His book is very funny , particularly with regards to his A levels and time in Ireland .Well worth a read !

Now how do you get the chinese to appreciate something like this ??? 😂😂😂😂👍 This is how you break down barriers with humour ... not with confusion institutes 😂😂😂
Dear Mr Jalili I have heard on few of your show that you saying ' Jalili means less'. How is that possible, can tell me how. As far as know Jalil means ( ba shekooh va bozorg) magnificent and big. can you please help me to understand this please? Thanks
@@omegadragon2121 You don't necessarily know more about your country just because you are from that country. You are not a scholar most probably. Some scholar somewhere in an American or an European university knows more about your country than you and other people. Chicago University is a center of such studies for that geography. Which country are you from anyway?
Rumi "MOLANA"was obviously one of the most influential and well known PERSIAN poets . I don't understand what the F*** is wrong with Turkish and Afghani people !!!!!!! dear Afghani and Turkish fellows for your information if you don't know anything about history your countries were AND USED TO BE part of Persian empire at the time , therefore Rumi was born , lived and died in Persia his own country and all of his poems WERE IN FARSI !!!!!!
Just sayin'... the presenter is good, but that "yeah yeah yeah" would get you smacked in the teeth in ( *some parts of* ) Ireland...it's seen as patronising and dismissively brusque all in one go.(Actually having listened to him for a bit longer, Peter Guttridge seems like a lovely man, it's just a local thing) I LOVE *Omid* he's a funny fecker!, and hearing him *DISMISSED!* like that made me twitch a bit. Oh *aaargh!* how my nerves were ramped up by the effortless tension building of the *CESSPIT STORY!*

He is by far anything like a bridge between East and West. This doesn't mean he is bad, but he has very little understanding of Iranian culture and even Rumi that he quotes.
Iranians are amazing people, and im from Kuwait.
I think Kuwaitis are amazing people
Love you brother
where is kuwait ?? i cant wait for your response !
@@newlifenowife3522 it's a small nation between Iraq , Saudi Arabia and Iran

Having grown up with this lovely man, I can tell you there is no off button! He’s just constantly entertaining - oh and a brilliant footballer!

Not really. He has had plenty of fame and performed in front of royalty etc.
Love you, Omid. Do you give inspirational talks to kids about not giving up? To find their potential?
He is really funny, naturally funny man👍
You are the best!
A brilliant entertainer!

I believe he's saying that for the sake of joke
Tacke it easy man '!
You're such a smart person! No one really believes Djalili means less. We all know he is telling it for fun.
Lovely omid
omid(امید) means hope.
jalil(جلیل) means beauty
ghalil( قلیل) means less
He was born in London... Interviewer so how long before you went to the homeland?
"Anyone in from overseas?"
"YEAH.........YOU MATE"
Great birtish. Man
Exactly, how come djalili is translated as less by him? I thought Khalili means less in Arabic and Persian
Jalili mean is in the mean of Glory
nice

btw Jalili means beautiful.
He is so funny
bestttt
Love to see the man who put fat into fatwa hahahaha
Strange that he adopts a Glasgwegian accent when mentioning Morningside...
😂❤😂
zibaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Both interviewer and interviewee has big honkers :)
Joe brand is so suitable for you
Very funny
😎 👍👍👍👍👍
Today you read MOULANA(Rumi) and still understand it but not shakespeare.
His name was not Rumy or Romy, his name was jalaluddin Mohamed balkhi , he was born in North of Afghanistan not Iran. his given name was Romy.
Rumi means Roman. Where he was taken to as a child was Byzantium at the time, to flee the Mongol invasions. He was born in Balkh and wrote in Persian.

Omid = Hope
Djalili = Less
Djalili does not mean less. The word in Persian for less is Qalil and not Djalil. Djalil means glorious.
Clearly you don't know how jokes work.

Oh man,,you're joking about you're family name,,jalily means grate ,,good very grate,,,,ghalily means less
i agree with you it means great
He likes brown shoes..
Rumi was an Afghan poet. His family fled due to mongol invasion. They went to Turkey. To this day, Rumi out sells Shakespeare

AL DOM persia had different capitals in different places at different times and one of them was afghanistan, persia wasnt only iran.
@@alamodel turks has nothing but to still other nations traditions as they always have
There was no Afghanistan back then. Get real! the whole region was part of Persia whether you like it or not.
Afghan means Pashtun, and Rumi wasn’t Pashtun he was Persian and his poems are in Farsi/Dari and not Pashtu
Also the definition of madness is repeating the same behavior that doesn't work!
He is by far anything like a bridge between East and West. This doesn't mean he is bad, but he has very little understanding of Iranian culture and even Rumi that he quotes.
His mother spoke Turkish?
No turkish
So he went from the Iranian troubles to the Irish troubles
.................
Shame about the repeated use of "sh*t" :-( :-(
