@@Binichmoses2 the contrast is hilarious. He's talking about childhood trauma, he starts out with this image of the warm and comforting mother we all know, wearing a nice dress and serving special treats, then she turns into this monster and abuses you. Striking a match of your forearm sounds like something a tough movie gangster would do, and so does telling you to go dance in the living room for money (like a pimp basically). It's just funny how he paints the picture so vividly, his timing and everything is perfect. And also how original it is. You don't hear other comedians do this, it's only Dylan Moran. Hope that helps.
@@Biggyfication well thank you for the long answer but sadly I still don't get if dancing in the living room is a metaphor for smth? We talk about a small child right?
@@Binichmoses2 i don't know what else to say, you need some imagination for that sort of thing I guess? I think you've either never experienced childhood trauma directly or seen a child get traumatized, either way you would be very fortunate :)
I find it's easier to apologise after the fact than ask permission. St. Thomas Aquinas enjoyed a sugary snack. I'm sure he would have been fine with it.
SOW effin' true when he says"Those who turn to Jesus haven't really done very well with everybody else" was he talking to me ?? when he said that??? lol
29 in age, about 159 in cynicism. His stand-up has evolved somewhat over the years, but it's always had the twin driving forces of cynicism and whimsy, and the tension between them is a large part of what makes him so brilliantly funny.
Being a comedian is a really strange profession. What do you tell your family when you come home? "Well today at work, I could not see anybody, because bright lights were pointing at me. I was just talking to myself and rambling on about anything that came to my mind. Meanwhile strangers were laughing at me - It was great! Can't wait to do it again tomorrow!"

On this side of the Atlantic, Garrison Keillor bemoans the fact Protestants can't even enjoy sinning, while at least Catholics can enjoy themselves while their sinning.
What with that guy? Looks like a very normal guy! A VERY normal guy! INCREDIBLY usual guy! One of the most average looking guys I've ever seen in my freaking life! My mind just explooooOOOooodes how average that guy is! He must be in The Guuinness Book of Records as THE most usually looking guy in the Cosmos! Aaaah, he's great.
I wish I knew too. In another bit Moran described how trying to hide one's enjoyment of sensual pleasures is an Irish trait. It closely matches an observation my cousin made about our family years ago, that we can't allow anyone to see us enjoying money. And 1854 was the last time any of us had lived there. Seems like only wit and music are shared and enjoyed freely.
Might just be the eating disorder voice in my head taking the reins but why does Dylan’s bit on Protestant vs Catholic (the latter) just sound like anorexia?... “Oh it’s a plate filled with delicious food - I want it and my body has reached it’s limit - I’m going to eat the whole thing and hate myself for it but why does the self loathing feel so good? Oh the shame, the shame”
Ogmios Danite sorry, is it even English you speaking? ‘Cause it’s probably way too spiritual for me being able to get the point of your answer ☺️ oh maybe it’s better to try “deCeased” instead of “deSeased”? Go educate yourself first, then trying to get what humour and sarcasm are. Good luck 😉
He is just brilliant. There isn't another comic out there that can go from high brow to toddler on crack all in the same breath. He really is a genius. Imo Black Books s the funniest show of all time. Followed closely by The IT Crowd. If only we could get a show starring Dylan Moran and Matt Berry AND Richard Ayoade. How unbelievably awesome.would that be?!
Am I the only one who doesn't like how this was edited? I adore this special (still, many years later!) from start to end.... but it loses its magic when the clips jump around.
His mind is the same size as the universe. Where does he go get this stuff? Answer : good hard cider has only exists in the UK and we cant get it in Europe.
I'am helpless totally helpless with laughter, o the the shame the shame nothing will make me feel better now ... except cocaine. I think he retired but wish he hadn't.
It's not really "trashing", more just pointing out that he has a tendency to complain... cause, you know, for example, he did kinda let EVERYONE know he was pretty upset during that whole overturning-moneylenders-tables-at-the-temple incident. I mean, I have my problems, but do you see me basically shouting "This is where I like to talk to my Dad and I don't like you trying to conduct business here, ya bunch of criminals!" at any point? Gee: talk about melodrama! In all seriousness, as the child of a minister myself, I actually have a lot of respect for many people of faith. Maybe just relax a little? I think The Big Guy can handle the occasional silly joke at His expense - He's big enough for that, right?
In over 40 years of being Catholic including 8 years of Catholic school I've never experienced the stuff the comedians always talk about. Must be missing something.
Matthew Holevinski I... really hope he’s not. A substitute for Bill Cosby, possibly... who was brilliant on stage but who I can’t bring myself to watch anymore.
@@MatthewHolevinski No! I see a lanky mop-haired possibly tipsy Irish misanthrope with a strong sense of the absurd and his own fairly unique delivery - NONE of which is like Cosby (except, with the whole drugging and raping women horror, Cosby was in real life a complete and UTTER misanthrope, certainly regarding anyone female). Cosby on stage was an obviously calculated performer - part of Moran's genius is making it look like he's kinda rambling from a stream-of-consciousness and we just happen to be present for it. Not seeing Cosby AT ALL. Frankly bewildered how you do....
@@MatthewHolevinski How does Cosby's line delivery in any way resemble Moran"s? edit: just occurred to me - is this about... pauses? Cause if it is, one could note that William Shatner is also well known for this. Also, he's done at least one piece of dark comedy spoken word - does that make him identical to Moran, let alone Cosby? I don't get it.
Why? I mean I can breathe AND walk simultaneously. Why should it be a matter of choice? Loads of people laugh at something funny while simultaneously clapping cause it's brilliant at comedy shows. Have you not heard of "multi-tasking"? How are you so fragile that spontaneous clapping during a bit sends you (metaphorically, I stress, cause you seem rather literal-minded in a way) running for the hills? Who hurt you, to make you so easily dissuaded from comedic joy? Tell me, and I'll fight them! It doesn't seem right that you should be upset like this!
"I don't know what I want, but I know I want it now" now that is the truest thing I have ever heard...
How about the im compulsive, but im also indecisive lead up, hence the joke?

I can't place his age at all. When he laughs he looks in his 20's but he is non stop projecting the energy of a jaded sarcastic 50 year old
he was in his 40s in this clip.
@@tobiaztobiaz9355 he quite clearly states that he is "30, nearly 35"
Or you could just leave the silly analysis down the back of the couch and simply enjoy some very funny comedy and craic
A man would be doing well to have skin that clear in his 50’s!
he is obviously 72
I adore his comedy. Witty, surreal, absolutely true.
the best line is
"she would strike a match off her forearm, and go and tell you to dance in the front room for money"
absolute gold hahaha
I didn't understand that one can you explain?

"Just a tall child holding a beer" - how true!
As a Catholic, I can confirm that is indeed my internal dialogue when presented with a packet of biscuits.
But it’s just a bicky. 🍪 🙏🏼
I find it's easier to apologise after the fact than ask permission. St. Thomas Aquinas enjoyed a sugary snack. I'm sure he would have been fine with it.
The man's comedy is full of life wisdom. I love it!
“The cage would come down, the cage with the Japanese fighting spiders…..” that bit kills me every time.
_to winkle out that first divot of black jelly._ this is live poetry.
"What's he got, I want that one, he's got cream on his one" - is absolutely 100% how Baroque Jesus comes across.
SOW effin' true when he says"Those who turn to Jesus haven't really done very well with everybody else" was he talking to me ?? when he said that??? lol
IKR? My driving instructor was none to pleased when I said 'Jesus take the wheel!'
I may have said this but both Moran and Bill Bailey have great sections on jesus pointing outside the famous paintings!
Shame flavor, the new divine taste! It's so good you'll keep coming back for more!
Comic genius flows off the man in little rivers!
I found out that dylan is currently 49, which means that he was 29 when he did black books 😳
His genius increases.
And yet he looks exactly the same!
Well, we all are only tall children standing pint in our hands 😊
@@ThatCoalSoul it really does, I'm seeing him next month and I'm very excited :)

As a beginner comedian myself (3 years in). This is a spot on summation of what it's like to be doing this.
“Haven’t done that well w anyone else”. 😂😂😂😂
Something about this delivery/pace/escalation reminds me so much of Eddie Izzard. Love it.
I think that every time I hear him! 🥰
I miss Dave Allen - and Dylan Moran fills that void.
This is unparalleled genius. It makes me jealous.
....and then THE CAGE COMES DOWN!!!
I don’t know why but I just think that’s the funniest fucking bit, every time I hear it I crack up
Flynn°-°94 I believe the word you’re looking for is “unexpected”.😉👍🥃

One of the most enchanting moments in Notting Hill was his book stealing scene.
Yes. And the "exchange of views" he had with Julia Roberts here. Brilliant! The unforgettable scene - despite being so short.

Who isn’t
This is full of De botton wisdoms! Hope Dylan is safe and prepping for New shares and depressive joys
Love Dylan Moran
I did get a little bit of that "you know how funny guys are actually the most miserable" vibe there
Modern Dave Allen...I love it !!! 😄🤣
I used to enjoy Dave Allen until I discovered Dylan Moran, who now surpasses Allen.
Can confirm. Love Jesus. Entire family hates my guts.
He has perfect hair
Such an interesting style, really enjoyed this clip

he doesn't laugh at his own jokes...that's why he's no.1 for me!
All wonderful, but my fav part starts at 12:18 the part about riding on an airplane.
the blond girl seen at 1:42 definitely just checked her fella still has the gear on him for afters
Corona not taking him down 🤣🤣💕
That's before covid
I can't quite decide whether he's a young dude who dresses and acts older or an older man who looks fantastically young.
he's currently 49, but I don't know how old he was when this video was taken
The loose fitting pants make the video look out dated.
That guy at 4:01 😂

"I don't know what I want, but I know I want it now" - every young person

Art thrives in restriction.
Humor based on Pain?

Pretty sure he was being ironic. But I can't tell if you are... 🤔
@@achanwahn maybe. But it's also possible he doesn't know that much, unless he's a Batman reader. Either way it's still a funny line.

This is hilarious. Protestant is very different in the US.
Yeah. It's about never going to church, drinking watered-down coffee, and talking endlessly about wanking to people who are actually having sex.
Dunno what the word means, but I already know it's 96% of America.
What did the person yell out?
