"YOU WERE WARNED! WAAARRRRHHH!!! I AM THE MAN! FEAR THE MAN!" i've watched this about 50 times and it just keeps getting funnier! dara o'briain is legend!
In my early 20's I started balding during that time I was in a pub having a meal and on a nearby table sat a mother and two children also eating. When one of the children refused to eat his vegetables the mother indicated at me and said "Eat your greens or you'll end up like that man over there." !
I can really empathize with Dara on this one as I too am a solidly built man over six foot tall and I get this shit from incompetent mothers all the time. One day I will just snap and give the mother (or sometimes grandmother) a piece of my mind. Look after and discipline your own children and tell them WHY something is wrong and don't just say some strange man will be annoyed for no good reason.
I remember one time I was doing some shopping and a mother threatened her child using an even worse target. she told him if he didn't behave a POLICEMAN would take him away. I wonder who she expects her child to trust if he ever gets lost. The policeman is now the evil fantasy monster instead of the person who can help him. He is likely to run or hide from uniforms when afraid, not ask them to find his mum.
Alfred Hitchcock said his dad gave him a note and had the police lock him up for 5 minutes when he was a small boy, and after that, he never trusted authority again.
Tracey Granter that's what my friend got told all his life. He's very...anti authority now as an adult. I don't think it was thought through as a fear tactic.
Tracey Granter Or, like most kids I come in contact with, he will see the policemen as guardians that take bad people away. I'm not justifying the mother in anyway, just trying to say that that outcome most likely won't happen in most cases. My cousin (2 years old) jumped out of my mother's lap and went to the phone saying she was going to call the police for my mom because she was being rude. My mother was fixing her hair and I guess the plats were painful
This actually made me and my mum laugh so hard when we saw it on t.v that we had tears in our eyes, and no matter how many times i watch it , it doesnt stop being funny! love him!
I've experienced this once, where a mom told her kid that her(the kid) being noisy was bothering me, and that I would take her doll away if she didn't quiet down. What I did, was look at the kid and said "I don't mind the noise at all, and I'm not gonna take your doll, go nuts." This was a few years ago, and I still treasure the memory of the look that mom gave me.
Happened to me in the supermarket, someone told their kid to behave or the bad man would take them away and pointed at me. I remembered this sketch and started laughing, fair to say I got some distressed looks
Saw him myself last Sunday and he was brilliant. Unfortunactly he didn't do this sketch, probably cause 1), he's got a kid of his own now, and 2)someone had brought their 10 year old son with them. Dara was going to do him a glossary to explain some of the very interesting words the kid would have heard.
I went to one of his gigs, and I came out with a sore belly. I'm sure I lost 5 pounds that evening. I didn't stop laughing for about 2 and a half hours!
Has anyone else noticed that one of the bulbs on the O in the APOLLO sign in the background has blown? Just below the hole in the O. It's distracting me more than it should.
+PixelBro64 I'm always distracted by that bloody sign. Keep trying to figure out ways to make a clean edge on the A, P and O's without ruining the pattern.
He actually hit on a very important point there. This is why some fathers develop poor relationships with their children. Why? Because usually the mother, traditionally for being the one at home, is the one who catches the child in the act or who hear the confession of something first. She then say "You are going to get into so much trouble when your dad gets home." and thereby avoid taking the punisher/discipliner-role and make dad, despite him not being there, the villain instead.
used to be lifeguard it used to constantly happen to me, "you see that man up there? hes going to get cross with you and not let you in the pool" and you can see hate and fear in their eyes.
Just got my first "the man will take you away" from a dad trying to control his unruly child. At 23 years of age sat on a park bench minding my own business
@WeirdBlueOne To me it's more the '' YOU WERE WARNED '' and then he goes '' WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH '' as he shakes the kid around. Friggin' hilarious
I'm a fairly short, unimposing young woman and I get used to threaten children I don't know. "Put those sweets back or the lady will get you." "Stop all that noise - if you don't stop that noise the lady will steal your toys!" "The lady won't like it if you eat those sweets before your dinner." "If you don't stop messing with that the lady will get you in your sleep." I'm a bit worried. Am I really that scary?
This guys really REALLY good at the top of his head. thats why i love him. i know this was a Pre-Planned show but when he has conversations with the crowed hes 'fecking' good!!!! :P
there is no other comedian who can split ur sides with his facial expressions but doesn't, like, REALLY rely on his facial expressions to be funny...if that makes sense. i love him :)
Someone in one of my LJ comms said a mother threatened her kids with "the lady" She said she told the kid "your mom's a liar because she's too lazy to control you"
ah this actually happened to me the other day at work, i was tidying up some shelves and this woman was trying to get her kid to put some toy back back and she was like "put it back or the man will tell you off and take it away from you" and all i could think of was this clip, i couldn't but laugh so i had to walk off to another isle incase she thought i was crazy just standing there laughing lol p.s i'm seeing dara live this thursday at the theatre its gonna be legend!
My Mum and little brother went to London to see a football match today, where they met Dara OBrien, a man who I find hilarious, and Im bloody jealous. They asked him for a photo, which he agreed to when they told him the object was to piss off elder brother. They didnt say anything about it until they showed me the photo, in which he stands in a kind of ta-daa pose. I am so annoyed. But anyway, at least I can say that Dara OBrien has communicated to me through body language.
@nick191092 Well you know : Rofl - roling on the floor and laughing Copter - just a simple adjective to add to the end making it sound better ;) Kind of like lolcake :)
I AM THE MAN!!! That bit made me spit tea out through my nose. But it was totally worth it.
@Aaron Smith most hot liquid moment
me too. wasn't even drinking tea
"YOU WERE WARNED! WAAARRRRHHH!!! I AM THE MAN! FEAR THE MAN!"
i've watched this about 50 times and it just keeps getting funnier! dara o'briain is legend!
EVERY time I see an ad for "Fear the Walking Dead" Dara O'Briain screeching "FEAR DA MAN!!!!" pops into my head...its weird.
In my early 20's I started balding during that time I was in a pub having a meal and on a nearby table sat a mother and two children also eating. When one of the children refused to eat his vegetables the mother indicated at me and said "Eat your greens or you'll end up like that man over there." !
Oof.. I’m sorry
I'm going bald at 21. I feel for you bro
I'm laughing so hard I can't breathe. Tears! Just when he goes "I am.. THE MAAAAAN!!!!!" and picks up the imaginary kid. He is brilliant!
Dara O'Briain = Legend and feckin funny as well.
Aw, the joy of seeing one icon, Karl Smallwood, give another legend, Dara Ó Briain, a shout-out.

In my wife’s culture, they say “The Bengaly man (Indian)” will come and take the kids away.

"When the man comes over here." Sounds like a Johnny Cash song.
An *awesome* Johnny Cash song.
Lou Reid vibes as well
He does have a song called when the man comes around

When he's shouting, he looks like either the Smilers from Doctor Who or Peter Boyle in Young Frankenstein.
I went to one of his gigs, and I came out with a sore belly. I'm sure I lost 5 pounds that evening. I didn't stop laughing for about 2 and a half hours!
LOL I feel so guilty because I have a three year old son and I do this myself!!! HAHA!
Love Dara O'Briain, he's so funny!!!
This is so funny
I get this all the time at work, it's infuriating
Same, at least 3 times in every shift I hear a parent telling their kid "The lady's going to shout at you!" while I'm just trying to do my job
Hahaha I can remember my mum saying stuff like that when I was younger XD Dara is a fantastic comedian, one of my all time favourites :)
"any time you need a hand"
absolutely amazing
Has anyone else noticed that one of the bulbs on the O in the APOLLO sign in the background has blown? Just below the hole in the O.
It's distracting me more than it should.
+PixelBro64 I'm always distracted by that bloody sign. Keep trying to figure out ways to make a clean edge on the A, P and O's without ruining the pattern.
Bah I can now not see it
There are dozens of us! DOZENS!
...mother...fu... I can't unsee it
PixelBro64 Well, now that you pointed it out I cant think of anything else

I just did and its the best thing i've seen and heard in ages
The way he just boots the child away at the end xD
Just got my first "the man will take you away" from a dad trying to control his unruly child. At 23 years of age sat on a park bench minding my own business
Top class .Could watch and liston all day.
Funniest and most likable comedian in the world today.
I'm seeing him in April, i can't wait
Thanks karl Smallwood
very good.
one of my favorite comedians
YOU WERE WARNED!!!!!!
i laughed so much i actually cried when i first saw this, absolute genius
He’s a great Irish comedian
@WeirdBlueOne To me it's more the '' YOU WERE WARNED '' and then he goes '' WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH '' as he shakes the kid around. Friggin' hilarious
This guy is a geni! I looove him. His accent is lovely x :D
I'm a fairly short, unimposing young woman and I get used to threaten children I don't know.
"Put those sweets back or the lady will get you."
"Stop all that noise - if you don't stop that noise the lady will steal your toys!"
"The lady won't like it if you eat those sweets before your dinner."
"If you don't stop messing with that the lady will get you in your sleep."
I'm a bit worried. Am I really that scary?
press 8 for "AAAAAAAAH!!"
My crayons got taken by the MAN, maaaaan.
Hahahaha i literally used 'the man' with all my 3 boys-it was indeed the ultimate tool in toddler training 🤣 i love that Dara was one The Man
Haha this is class!
Wish he was still on the panel!
going to see him live this Thursday- FRONT ROW!!!!
Ditto! haha!
I always have to be careful and take the perfect opportunity to take a drink before a punchline when I watch Dara :D
I AM THE MAN!!
lmao. has me in stitches. Thanks for the video.
This guys really REALLY good at the top of his head.
thats why i love him. i know this was a Pre-Planned show but when he has conversations with the crowed hes 'fecking' good!!!! :P
okie dokie, thanks... i'll try to find it and buy it asap!
DARA IS CLASS
fantastic and so true!
dara's a funny bloke. i always get so tempted to do that cuz i get it all the time working as a waiter part time.
god this bit is good
I AM THE MAAAN!! YOU WERE WAAAARNED!!
He's amazing! x
My relatives do this. The fact that they're not strangers doesn't make it any less infuriating.
My favorite 3 comedians are Irish,
Dara O'Briain
Ed Byrne
and Neil Delamere
Dara is THE MAAAAN!
How could you not?
I fancy him SO MUCH.
Just reminds me of this tweet I read that the mother was telling off her son about running about naked and said the man would steal his Willy.
lmao
there is no other comedian who can split ur sides with his facial expressions but doesn't, like, REALLY rely on his facial expressions to be funny...if that makes sense.
i love him :)
I would lean over and say “Kid, I’m not gonna do a fucking thing. You carry on.”
OMG I LOVE THIS MAN!!!!!
YOU WERE WARNED!!!!! I AM THE MAN!!!
XD bloody genius
I think it's an extra on Dara's Live At The Theatre Royal DVD. This bit's only half an hour long.
They used to do that to me when i was a checkout operator.
This happens to me in work all the freaking time!
Someone in one of my LJ comms said a mother threatened her kids with "the lady"
She said she told the kid "your mom's a liar because she's too lazy to control you"
Take the kid aside and tell him that if he waits until he gets home to go wild, Mommy will give him a (whatever).
oh yeah,she is brilliant!!
Maeve higgins is also amazing!!!
oh dear this is my favorite stand-up ever. i almost pee myself everytime i watch this! do anyone have the full show?
People do this to me at work. Fucks me off no end.
HAHAHAHA OMG I nearly choked on my tea xD
Genius, this man!
People did this to me all the damn time when I worked at a cinema.
@ShortstuffC Dear lord...I'm Irish too, but ALL I got from that is 'I'm sad' hahaha. There's commitment, eh?
It's an EXTRA. Not the same show. His Apollo bit is only half an hour long, so it is included as an extra on the Theatre Royal DVD.
I would love to do that!!
Hahaha, I fell over backwards watching that! xD
It's not so much the line, "FEAR THE MAN!!", but how he slams the child about and then kicks him offstage that got me.
ah this actually happened to me the other day at work, i was tidying up some shelves and this woman was trying to get her kid to put some toy back back and she was like "put it back or the man will tell you off and take it away from you" and all i could think of was this clip, i couldn't but laugh so i had to walk off to another isle incase she thought i was crazy just standing there laughing lol p.s i'm seeing dara live this thursday at the theatre its gonna be legend!
Going to see him in Edinburgh on the 23rd, can't feckin wait
p.s.i'm not irish
I watched this 1 minute ago and i almost died of laughterXD
YOU WERE WARNED! I AM THE MAAAAAAANNNN RAAA *shakes kid, slams him on the ground, kicks him to a distance* anytime you need a hand!- hilarious!
i completely agree
I Love good owl Dara.
I wonder who's now scared of him more, the mother or child?
My Mum and little brother went to London to see a football match today, where they met Dara OBrien, a man who I find hilarious, and Im bloody jealous. They asked him for a photo, which he agreed to when they told him the object was to piss off elder brother. They didnt say anything about it until they showed me the photo, in which he stands in a kind of ta-daa pose. I am so annoyed. But anyway, at least I can say that Dara OBrien has communicated to me through body language.
"Anytime you need a hand, alright?" Lol.
You were warned! Classic! :D x
I AM THE MAN!!!!!! god himself could not have been more funny
FEAR THE MAN!!!
Love it. XD
i'm laughing so bad and cause i have a cold i'm having a coughing fit he's hilarious XD
I didn't even know that single mothers do that, scary! o.o

~lox

Makes me proud to be Irish!!
...you were WARNED!
I was the child. I still need therapy
I too watched the video.
@nick191092
Well you know :
Rofl - roling on the floor and laughing
Copter - just a simple adjective to add to the end making it sound better ;)
Kind of like lolcake :)
wow!!!
