"Well, science knows it doesn't know everything. Otherwise it would stop." Brill
I love this quote
That's a quote to remember and use.
Tim Moore -- Physics almost did. Until Planck came along. An advisor actually suggested he pick another field of study.
dav ep To be fair physics didn’t nearly... misguided and overly prideful physicists opinions of their level of understanding of the science nearly did, which is a different thing entirely.
Actually Science doesn't know anything.
Science is a method to find answers for things, it's not a person or institute.
In the town where I used to live there was an annual psychic fair. Then one year there was a notice in the paperwork say it had been cancelled ‘due to unforeseen circumstances’. The locals had a bit of fun with that.
xDD I'd bet! xDD
Yeah, I always wondered why they had to advertise psychic fairs...😉
Good one. That mistake never fails to make fun of the psychic business on the whole. You'd think that people making their living from this fake science business would know to avoid using words like "unforeseen" and similar, in any form of public relations.
I new you were going to say that.........
🤣
There's an interview with Dara where he talks about this routine, saying he thought he was losing the audience during his 'hit them with a stick' bit and felt that the show was failing, but after the woman shouted 'Energy' it just revitalised the whole room. He said that if you look just afterwards, you can see the relief in his face :-) I suppose even someone as good a he is has off days every now and then.
Time stamp as I didn’t see him losing the audience at ANY point
Bartholomew Lyons it’s different when you’re up there looking at the faces, there were plenty of people laughing but he might have been seeing a lot of bored faces.
No, I think it was the energy that she gave him.
@@bartholomewlyons I think it's the bit them around priests, because the laugh at the hit them was sticks wasn't quite as big. He hadn't lost them, but can see why he was worried he was losing them
Audiences can be crap too, if they were offended by the stick bit they need to grow up!......It is the comic's job to bring them back and work them to where they feel comfortable and laugh their arses off again though......
I like how he just goes on a tangent riffing off the audience. Really good stuff. Clearly having fun with it.
His reply to the woman who reminded him the topic "Psychic", "How did you know I was going to talk about it?"! That was EPIC!
It's even more epic when you realise he set the crowd up so he could use that response, as part of his masterful improvising skills.
Probably planned, but cleverly so
"What was I talking about?"
"PSYCHICS"
"Oh my god how did you know?"
😆
The woman who yelled out *ENERGY* "must" of been a Psychic, as she could have known that would throw him off track -> *BUT THEN* I'm not Psychic OR else I would have won *EVERY* offer of reward money offered by police to solve unsolved crimes. 😏 🧙♀️👨🔬 🧕🧟♂️🧠🔮🎯
@Innocent Bystander someone's sexually frustrated
Get in the sack
£680 to repair a cracked aura!!! How do people actually fall for that? That's obviously a scam, the going rate is £350 but I can do it for £300.
I'll do it for a tenner, and I'm real quick too and can do it over the phone.
Lots of dumb people out there, unfortunately...
Does this mean repairing the crack in your aura, or the aura in your crack?
You will take £200 or I will call the police and your manager. Oh, sorry, wrong theme! This isn't Karens.
😂😂
His version of stealth is basically video game stealth
"Nope, can't see me. Not at all crouching right in front of your nose or anything"
The assassins creed level of stealth.
"I'm kneeling in a cornfield, you can't possibly see me..."
Bethesda Stealth: "Nah that arrow in my eye must have just been my imagination"
Far Cry Stealth: "Is that an eyebrow sticking out 2 miles away?"
Sniper Elite stealth: "That massive explosion that happened about 30 seconds ago, must have been my imagination after all".
Have you seen his metal gear stealth bit about hiding in a box? It was brilliant had me in tears
"... just because science doesn't know everything doesn't mean you can fill in the gaps with whatever fairytale most appeals to ya!" no trueier truth was ever truthed.
@Jon Bird The fucks wrong with you mate?
that's why its called the god of the gaps *fallacy*

@@134StormShadowFlat earthers don't fill in gaps of knowledge, since we know for a fact that Earth is a planet. They just reject reality and live in a fantasy world
That was brilliant... this guy is the king of navigating a shit crowd... saw him in cheltenham, crowd gave him nothing to feed off... he was masterful at improvising funny moments out of nothing. 👏🏻👏🏻
He's not good in this performance, though. He's pretty bad here.
I *DON'T* have any respect for the views he shared in this video about "who he'd put in a sack & hit with a stick & not care about who got the worst of it". Although I find he's *HILARIOUS* most of the time in watching his videos. I must go see him live some day. 🗣😡 🧙♀️👨🔬 ✝️💔🏳️🌈 🚔🔮💰

@@Sunshine-zm1fx "He's not good in this performance, though."
True! He were great :P
He got me with "Get in the fucking sack"
Dara: "Who removes their own teeth for Christs sake"
Bob Mortimer: "not *yet*"
As long as you use Fuji 9 its okay
Obscure frerence, my favourite
I mean Bob has done a damn good job for an amateur fucking about in his kitchen
Honestly, I’m relieved I wasn’t the only one who thought of that 😂
I thought the exact same thing!😁
A good psychic would see the stick coming
Or you know, anyone with looking in the right direction.
C. W. They’re in a sack
They can't see the stick coming, they're in a sack. And being psychic wouldn't help because it's bullshit. And even if it wasn't, reading the guy with the sticks mind wouldn't help if even he doesn't know which ones he's hitting in the sack. It's foolproof.
Edit: disclaimer for the slow, this was not a serious discussion of the method to take down psychics, it was just a expansion of the above, compiling the whole funny concept of beating scam artist psychics in a sack into one whole. Please resume picturing John Edward and miss Cleo in a sack getting smacked.
@@FFKonoko you seem to be under the impression that jokes aren't allowed to exist and that anyone who makes one must be murdered on the spot. you also seem to be pretty fun at parties.
@@namavoid3266 you seem to be labouring under a terrible misunderstanding. I was in fact, making a joke. More specifically even, I was expanding your joke, which is why your bit about them being in a sack, also appears within mine.
I can understand why you didn't recognize it as a joke, the joke I was expanding was admittedly pretty terrible, but I have faith you'll improve eventually.
My sincere condolences on the death of your party life. Console yourself by giggling in the corner at the high pitched whistling noise that was way overhead.
"who ignores sudden blindness?"
As a spouse of an optometrist I'll simply say: You. Would be. Amazed.
I feel I should ask... what??
You can't overdose
You can *fecking drown*
Amazing :D
Best audience interaction ever.
Also, i love the idea that some people might see this without seeing the whole dvd show and will wonder what the oil in Reading line was about. That and the fairies in bulbs.
Brains to burn and beyond funny. I actually ache with laughter simply watching him arrive on stage. Love this guy. I would gladly have him take over Boris Johnston's job!
When Dara mentioned rectal bleeding... thats another one a family member of mine ignored for MONTHS, and when he finally went to a doctor, the colon, liver, and lung cancer he didnt know he had had progressed to a terminal stage. Months and months where he could have caught it earlier. "Who would ignore these severe symptoms!?" It happens all the time, people get worried about getting bad news or don't think it's a big deal or wait for things to go away or get embarrassed by symptoms, and it leads to disaster. It sounds so ridiculous that these are symptons people ignore, but they do, and often!
That family member of mine was my dad. Smartest man in a room oftentimes. Fiercely clever and funny, well loved and very popular, enjoyed sport, music, trivia. Even smart, well put together people can ignore their health, and in the case of my wonderful father, it cost him his life. Who knows if going to the doctor 3 months earlier might have saved him?
If you have rectal bleeding, please, see a doctor ASAP!
I really appreciate it when entertainers encourage skepticism and critical thinking - especially when they're funny.
I love the way he nurtures the hecklers and roll with the punches, rather than put them down. Most other comedians tend to have an agenda and resent audience participation :)
I take it by "agenda" you mean that they... prepared?
@@benvoliothefirstyeah those bloody comedians just want to spout off all this pre prepared material
Are those comedians in the room with us now?
One of my mates removed his own molar on magic mushrooms. It was very bloody. We refer to him as 'the dentist' now.
I knocked two teeth out of the nephew of Jock Hobbs. I was referred to as that cunt who knocked out the teeth of an All Blacks nephew
I think you guys can repeat these stories as comments to the Greg Davies "nicknames" sketch ;)
I think you should call him 'the toothiologist'.
Richard L that’s quite an assumption, let alone a bet. Put your money where your mouth is.
Richard L one of the girls was literally passing out from the smell and sight of blood. It was everywhere.
I have a buddy who believes in "Earth Energy", and tries to get us out to spots where he's heard the energy vortex is strong so we can sit there and soak(???) it up. I just kind of nod my head and go along. He has good weed.
Hmm yeah, the weed might have something to do with it.
Amazing what we do for weed
Sounds like it !
That explains a lot .
Good weed? That explains it!
RUclips interrupted "the average life expectancy in China today- with an Arby's commercial saying "two for six dollars?!" and I just about died
“Who removes their own teeth?!” *Bob Mortimer sweats nervously*
Classic Dara. The Evening Standard thing was perfect. I also love it when (about10 times a year) a newspaper headline announces that scientists have found a way to greatly reduce the risk of cancer. It's always the same - Eat vegetables, exercise, don't smoke. Obviously they get some quiet days in the newsrooms.
I'm kind of glad they keep reminding people since so many, myself included, are prone to stretches of poor life choices diet and exercise wise.
It's okay. One third of cancers are just bad luck and many people with so so habits live to be 90 or even 100--genes.@@NeutralAtJSP
I've met a few people who ignored episodes of blindness in one eye that happened every few weeks and lasted for a few seconds
Only went to the GP when it lasted for more than 5 minutes
They were having mini-strokes/TIAs
I once went blind when I had a wank. It was a really great wank.
@lcyw20 I'm not joking. That was their reasoning. It went away quickly, so it wasn't a longterm problem....even though it happened multiple times 😅
@@AlaA-ms9up Blimey, the moment this happens once, you'd worry a bit, right? More than once, you should defo leg it go the nearest doctor, if they're unavailable, at least get your eyes examined! Could be an issue with the eye, although not in the case you cited.
Legit one of the best comedians out there, his charisma and relation with the crowd is faking amazing
His improv how he plays off of the crowd is amazing
The China joke is one of the best things I've ever heard
It aged so well, considering that this is an old recording.
"There is more to life than E V I D E N C E"
That kind of selective logic honestly scares me. Because I cannot discern where those people draw the line between stuff that evidently happens vs stuff they heard in a dream.
@Craig Gibbons
But both gravity and air exist. And humans have used evidence based logic to utilise both throughout millennia to utilize both.
But to get to the core of the matter. What weighs heavier than evidence in a discussion of somethings existance? Because, that is what that claim professes. That even though we have evidence of something being true or false, there exists some nebulous unknown thing out there that trumps evidence. But what? And if it exists. Without evidence of its validity... Should I really accept it as relevant?
George Bush publicly claimed that "God" wanted him to invade Iraq and was cheered by some and ignored by most others. When people are talking about things 'God' wants/needs them to do, I always replace that word in my head with "My dead great grandfather" (which, ironically, you can prove existed and quite possibly make a reasonable guess on what they would have wanted you to do in any given situation based on empirical evidence from when they were alive). If you do it in your mind, it shows you how stupid a justification that is. If they do it in their speech, they'll be removed from office and sent to a psyche ward - nobody's going to cheer it and very few people would just ignore it.
"Ya' look fantastic, let's have a pint!" That WOULD be the best ever nutritionist.
If it's Guinness doubly so!
Good lord he's funny. Great material, great delivery, great performer!
If that bit with the audience wasn't pre-planned (his jokes, I mean,,, I'm not suggesting he planted people in the audience) and was genuinely stand-up then this man s a genius.
Stand ups tend to pre-plan their jokes.
I imagine it's a collection of possible bits which respond to certain prompts. Some of it might be off the cuff, but a lot of it is not just planned but rehearsed and refined.
It wasn't. There was another version of this on youtube, and it didn't have it on there. He's just good at improv, as it's part of his act.
He tends to start out by asking audience members various questions about themselves and makes jokes on his own observations of them.
The best standup-comedians are highly intelligent.
he's always been very quick on his feet
*hides behind curtain* “Tats fookin great stelt”
I think this is my favorite video of Dara on the Internet out of all the ones I've seen LOL
Fairies stole my headphones.
My evidence? I can't find my headphones and I forgot to leave out a cup of cream last night.
I think we need some kind of twenty-first goblins who steal the TV remote and so on. Most people dont know what a hob is anymore (outside of the UK anyway) so who's concerned about hobgoblins?
This comment is homophobic
@@Ag3nt0fCha0s I meant literal fairies, like the tiny people with wings. Also it's a joke.
My earliest memory of being genuinely angry at a random stranger was when I was about 11 and I was going to a shop in town and a god botherer stopped me to ask "Do you believe in god young man?" (let's not even get started on approaching and stopping an unescorted minor to preach your religion) and when I said "No, I believe in Science" they responded, ever so smugly, with "Ah but can Science explain why the sky is blue, why the stars shine or why we feel love?" and I remember snapping "YES! Read a science book! We covered two of those three in school already!".
What made me so angry about it was that 1) There are a hundred examples he could have picked where I would have had to say "No, it can't" but he picked three that it had literally already offered definitive and provable answers to and 2) NOWHERE in the Bible does it offer an answer (however fantastical) to any of those questions so, presumably, even if I had said "no" then if he was being honest he'd have had to reply "Yeah, we don't have a bloody clue either".
Like, if you're going to offer a bullshit question in that situation, at least pick one that ACTUALLY has Science currently stumped and that whatever mumbo jumbo you're peddling actually pretends to have an answer for.
This just made me think of Sokka
„Can your science explain why it rains?“ „YES. YES IT CAN“
@@tairneanaich Yeah, I remember that episode, I think I was about mid teens when it came out, I flashed back to what I recounted above and identified with him so hard in that moment.
In the words of Robin Williams, "Was 'let there be light' a metaphor for the big bang?" "No, God went click *mimes turning light on* "
My reply to "Do you believe in God?" is "Which one?".
@@silasfatchett7380
Alternatively you could go "Yes, I love the way he swings that hammer around!"
OMG I'm rolling on the floor laughing. Going to binge watch him now
I made the mistake of watching this while eating snacks. I may have nearly choked.
I can not get a dentist where I live now so haven’t been in 5 years. So yeah, damn right we need to address it. Also I am planning to die early on in the zombie apocalypse so you better hope I have removed all my own teeth before then.
You'll still be able to gum some flesh from the (probably fatally titillated 'cause there's nothing like coming so hard, you go, so I've heard from my psychic {psycho?} girlfriend), er, where was I, oh yeah, gumming the victims, right, shouldn't be a problem, I'm sure.
PSYCHICS
Fuji 9, Amber... Google it.
Jakov Brižić When you have Fugi 9 you are a dentist!
Haha!
I admit that I have seen the full show a handful of times already, but in this part he gets to speak so much truth that I can't stop myself smiling and laughing, even if I am only halfway listening to what is being said (occupied with eating or looking around for something else). As a follower of science, natural physics and realism, I do so agree with how he feels about the fake sciences. By the way, thank you for uploading this clip in this length or time frame, it works very well for me most times when I need a quick laugh.
Brilliant. Well done. Totally lost it at "sudden blindness."
Haven't laughed so hard in a while.
This is so brilliant (and spot on)
I love it!

I removed 2 of my own teeth by turning my head just before the puck hit.
If I hadn't, I'd have removed 10 of 'em. I'd have had a Bobby Clarke smile. Instead, just a Cletus Dicktwiddler smile.
The guy who shot that puck decapitated himself snowmobiling through farm fields about 2 weeks later. Hit a barbed wire fence at 25-30 mph, right at neck level. Showed the true value of helmets. He was recognisable. Usually, by the time the usual idiots were pulled from the lakes, they were hard to identify without dental records.
Didn't have DNA testing, back then.

Years ago I went to London to see a concert at the Hammy Odeon. We got there way early so took the underground to Oxford St. We were all in our late teens, early 20s. Anyway, we decided to run up the escalators at Oxford St. Bad mistake. I got to the top and everything went black. I mean everything, couldn't see bugger all. I called to one of my mates and told him I couldn't see. He started to panic and asked me what should we do. I said sit me down and get me a coke. Not, call 999, or get me to the hospital. No, sit me down and get me a coke. About 6 minutes later I could see again. I'm guessing I just had oxygen starvation to my head from running up the stairs and everything went black. The gig was great.
Yeah could have been that and a blood pressure problem, depends how active you were.
"Who ignores sudden blindness?"
Ooh, ooh, I know that one......is the answer Dominic Cummings? :D
Jaysus Dara IS psychic after all!
Energy!!!
As a Buddhist I love the Tibet joke
As an herbologist firmly rooted in science I must point out that the way we tested most traditional remedies misunderstood and often completely discounted the entourage effect and decided it had to be just one or maybe two of the component chemicals that created the effects. Often testing only examines a single plant in isolation, which is rarely how they were used. Also many of the experiments were done by people without direct knowledge of how to use the plants and the most frequent result is they test a miniscule dose and then determine it must not be effective. It'd be like deciding alcohol has no effect because a single drop of beer does nothing. Frankly it's maddening.
If someone forks out hundreds of quid to a psychic, it ain't their fecking aura that's cracked.
Well, on behalf of toothilogists all around the world, I am offended by this routine.
