The thing I like about Dylan is that he could say any sentence. If words exist in the english language, dylan can put them in some random ortder and still make them funny.
"I always wanted to look like a prawn who's being airlifted." 😂 Couldn't have been said more poetically than that. As a 60-something woman who DOESN'T have the time, money, or priority to follow these trends, I APPLAUD YOU!!!!
People always say that women appreciate a man that stand up to other men. Yet a man that excuses her woman from the peer pressure of uncomfortable shoes? Thats the real deal.
High heels are much older than 60 years as a trend…if anything you grew up with the height of that expectation. Tho not giving a toss is a much better way to put it, it’s just called wisdom!!! ^Whole heartedly agree with above comment! Tho men shouldn’t have to “excuse you” from anything as they are not your keepers. At least my partners aren’t, but that’s me. I thankfully have free will and men nor women dictate what I dress or do. :)
I definitely consider Dylan part of the Irish poetic/literary tradition. Some of his turns of phrase are just beautiful ''...something to stir the little cosmos in his skull...'' Positively Yeatsian! 😆
Hard agree. He's one of the very few genuine wordsmith performers of the modern era. Certainly the most eloquent comedian I can think of, from any time period actually. Plenty of confidently articulate, even cogent ones, but none quite as poetic.
@@I_Am_The_Paulrus hahaha not quite but I do live about 200 yards away from him in Edinburgh, and in 2018 was invited to his sons New Year’s Eve party. I brushed past him in the corridor : D
I love this man he’s been a favorite of mine for years. He’s not a comedian, he’s a comedic philosopher with artistic poetic skill unlike anything else I’ve seen ❤😂
As one of the 50, I can honestly say that literally EVERY piece of his standup available to us on RU-vid is ABSOLUTE GOLD! Because his material is all about fundamental forces of human nature, and because he is absurdist, it doesn’t matter when the set was recorded- it’s all timeless. I am envious of anyone just discovering him for the joy they about to experience; I am also just as sorry for the withdrawal pain they will experience in shortly thereafter because there’s just not enough of his material available.
Yeah that's the only part I would push back on lol clothes and makeup aren't priorities for me but especially for certain occasions/environments, they become a sort of modern day battle armor and imbue confidence
Count me among the 50 Americans. I've been a fan for years now. Despite knowing that he puts a lot of work and effort into his routine, he always sounds like he's just talking off the top of his head. That's what makes him a great comedian, he doesn't sound like comedian.
Same here. I started with the Walshes family, discovered the genius that is Graham Linehan, then warched the IT crowd, then Black books last week and discovered Dylan Moran and now I am here, binge watching his stand-up comedy because now my life depends on it.
I'm one of the 50 Americans who know and love Dylan Moran and Black's Books. He is incredible. Now I also know about Bill Bailey and a host of other wonderful UK performers. We watch British tv. American tv is s**t.
Now you’ve discovered British comedy, here’s a few more to try Blackadder IT Crowd Ab Fab Vicar of Dibley That’s just a small suggestion. There is an incredible breadth to comedy from the UK to try.
These 11minutes with new jokes to me, were like Christmas for a kid. Wonder what it feels like to that creative, inventive and funny? Or is it just well hidden hard work at his craft? I agree more and more that he might be within the ten best comedians, that I have heard. I hope he can continue to stay mostly above political partisanship, and only use it to create more unexpected absurdities.
It helps to be well read. If I can recall from a years old interview that reading books with a focus on human nature and related themes is one of Dylans main pastimes. Reading is his main form of media consumption, and I guess it kind of shows. Dude is a wordsmith.
As an American, I know him from Black Books which popped up on some streaming service or another a while back. I hadn’t seen him before or since until I got this video tucked neatly into my algorithm. What a pleasure. Also, I don’t know anyone who ever watched that show besides my wife and I
Most Americans don’t know him. I’m an American and I got introduced to him by my best friend, who is also an American, but she’s been living in Scotland for over a decade now. I love his style of humor, its extremely dry, nihilistic, and euphemistic, and I completely get that, but I have been told at length and many times that I am Weird and my sense of humor is “dark”. Comparing American and Moran’s style of comedy is rather fascinating. There’s one or two American comedians I like (Taylor Tomlinson and Jeff Dunham come to mind) but by far my fav stand ups are comedians people like Dylan Moran, Daniel Sloss (from Scotland), Sarah Millican (from the UK) and Randy Feltface (Australian), and what I’ve noticed that all my favs have in common is that they usually use stories to facilitate comedy, whereas the American comedians typically try to typically deliver constantly witty punchlines, but for me the lack of set-up usually causes it to fall flat.
I just looked on my shelf - I have this DVD - I Have seen him live twice, I've only seen three live shows so that's a record, Unless Louie CK comes back, the other show was Doug Stanhope and not very good. Dylans Film "A Film With Me In It" is a masterpiece of cinema.
Mary Shelley: I've got a story. Percy Shelley: what's it about? Mary: a morally devoid scientist who is somehow worse than a murdering cadaver man he makes contrary to the laws of nature and then abandons. I thought I'd call him Percy, but I'm pretty sure our friends will get it. 😆
he had that when he was young and just starting out. While he has had his challenges with alcohol, this is not connected to that. It's a physical condition.
Middle class as defined in the UK conjures images of educated opera fans. Middle class as defined in the US conjures images of plumbers, carpenters, and factory workers listening to country music.
The only thing I dont like about him is that he is not grateful for having a home, children, wife. Im 43 and all my life dreamed of that, but had the bad luck of being born Portuguese in Portugal.
