I wonder if the same applies to making youtube comments. That the bottoms of the comments section is full of gold from people who didn't think of the comment right away, but about 6 months later think about it, come back and comment.
That expression also gives a clue to the social status of people who would understand the saying. They lived in two-story apartments or houses and, after coming home from a party, they would be climbing the staircase to go to bed when it hits them what they could have said as a come-back at the party.
The cop asks me to walk in a straight line, so I do, then he asks me “You call that a straight line?”. You know how you can never think of a clever reply until after the guy's gone. Well, I wish I had said, I wish I had said…. “yeah”. But I was nervous and the only thing I could think of was “Well Officer Pythagoras, the closest you’ll ever come to a straight line is if you make an electroencephalogram of your own brain-waves!” - Emo Phillips
This guy I wish I had this guy with me in a few arguments that I had had whenever other people there there were in everything was just so precise and sharp and whenever I would think of it come back they wouldn’t be there anymore so I would turn around and they would be gone and me standing there with the best gotcha come back but no one there so yeah I think that this kit is really really great
Weird that he says "we don't have 100% equality, there's a glass ceiling" and then immediately disproves that with "we've got equal opportunity laws" (also "divorce laws" isn't even an equality-of-the-sexes thing), but definitely a funny set overall!
It kinda is, for a long time to get a divorce, both couples had to attend a full divorce trail and hearing, and often the husband would refuse to show up, forcing the wife to stay married to them even if they were abusive, so it kinda of was a progression for female rights, being able to ditch your husband even if he refused to divorce you
I'm so glad Ed put the cap back on that imaginary felt tip marker. I was getting nervous about that.
😂😂😂
So happy to hear "chinny reckon" again after so many years not hearing it! ;-)
Ed's amazing. One of my favourite irish comedians. Geeky but super intelligent.
Lovely backhanded compliment there. Do you seperate Irish from Northern Irish? lol.
There should be one Ireland united!!@@rcisneros8567

Luckily you can edit
1 year on and I'm still thinking, watch this space. But not exclusively I'm sure you've got other stuff to do in the meantime.
The ocean called. They're running out of shrimp.
This deserves more love.
I win a lot of imaginary arguments in the shower.
Ed Byrne one of the best comedians in the world
In French there is an expression: esprit d'escalier.
... word/fraise at the foot of the staircase/stairs? I can't remember and have never spoke French but Tim Minchin is class 👏
I've heard that, something about coming up with a witty retort while descending the stairs

In polish we have the word DUPA.. I thought we just say random words. 😶
I thought James May was the one with the Ed Byrne haircut?
This is good 🤣

6:55 sounds like something the current US supreme court would come out with
Except that it doesn't, not even remotely, unless perhaps only in your imagination.
I'm having one of those 2 months late comebacks since six o'clock this morning. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
If I wanted my comeback...
What...no volume
Turn it up

That's like saying there's anti littering laws therefore we've solved littering
