Omid Djalili is one of the funniest comedians in Uk. He is a natural!❤

[@ChaseOakley-rw2lx]

Let's not go nuts...

[@keefsmiff]

He does great piccalilli.

[@littleshrimp6048]

Omid is very popular in the uk. He's an actor too and was in 'The Mummy'.

[@keefsmiff]

Yes And as a result Annabell has given him 3 children

[@lassechristensen2573]

And Gladiator

[@samloveslfc]

@@keefsmiff Apparently he had a very good time 😉

[@RobertClaeson]

And in Borat.

[@SpudgunStreams]

And he's in The World is Not Enough. For about 6 seconds

[@CarolHenshaw]

I'm a big fan of Omid he was born in London to Iranian parents. Love his comedy and have several DVDS of his and his autobiography Hopeful please do more reactions to Omid

[@bigal6789]

Omid is big here in the UK, very funny, even as his own game show here. There a lot more gigs out there he's done. You pronounced his name correctly.

[@definty]

He is one of the only comedians I know who has brought Sean lock to tears. In Sean Locks - TV Heaven Telly Hell

[@Phillip_Brewin_Hutchins]

Not forgetting Joe Wilkinson on 8 out of ten cats reciting his “penises poem” 😂 Sean couldn’t breathe!

[@lindadejonge]

Omid is hilarious and a total nutcase... that's why he is so admired. No one cares about his background, nationality or whatever.... he's just sooooo funny!! Live the guy!!😊

[@rolybling]

If nobody cares why do you mention it?

[@David-The-YorkshireMan]

he was born in London to Iranian parents who emigrated there

[@paltrax]

which technically makes him UKkranian we've all heard the joke-

[@stevenbrooks3573]

As you've guessed, he's British (of Iranian descent) - the Iranian accent is part of his act.

[@ndboulton]

Yes we've heard of him :'D he's pretty well known

[@cerbie70]

I didn't see 'Gladiator' in the cinema, so I only new Omid Djalili as a comedian/stand-up/panalist. He is funny, and then I was surprised to see him play such a good part in 'Gladiator'.

[@ChloeAndBetty]

Omid Djalili is a household name in the UK, has been for decades.

[@Arthur.in.the.Fridge]

Is he fk. He's a has-been.

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

Told the Iranian business man joke "As If" and he died laughing!!!!😂😂😃😃😄😄😅😅

[@scottveatch1375]

I mainly know Omid from the Mummy with Brendan Fraser. Great movie, and he had a comedic role in it.

[@CapraObscura]

He's also got a really English accent too in real life 😆

[@rolybling]

Being English he would do...

[@CapraObscura]

@@rolybling don't play stupid, he literally puts on an accent and who's going to know he's English when they've just discovered him

[@Exoamylase]

He also plays a great character Yusef Amir in GTA 4.

[@ianstaines4395]

and in gta online right now

[@keefsmiff]

Omid and "Achmed the dead terrorist" have never been seen in the same room at the same time

[@jamesjimbob71]

considering you never seen his stand up you did very well with the name pronunciation

[@davidbourgoin523]

He had a whole TV series on the BBC. Was pretty funny from what I recall

[@clarkeysam]

I met Omid Djalili in the crowd watching Stewart Lee at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. He was laughing so loud! He really enjoyed the show.

[@donepearce]

It is what is called performance laughter. It's an attempt to get noticed, to distance himself from the "normal" audience. It is really irritating to sit close to one of these in the audience.

[@clarkeysam]

@@donepearce I completely disagree. He was borderline in a disguise to hide who he was. When I was taking my seat, I did a double take to see if it was actually him.

[@turntheblueiris4626]

Did he do that yak-yak-yak thing with his jaw while he laughed?

[@clarkeysam]

@@turntheblueiris4626 quite possibly!

[@vespien2056]

I'm Australian and i've watched Omid's comedy for probably the past 2 decades. He's hilarious. He's also one of the Royals fav comedians, and has performed for them at a number of Royal Variety gigs.

[@CeltPatriot]

He is a legend in comedy always funny

[@clothilde1623]

I love Omid, he’s hilarious, he’s great in Gladiator, and his random Godzilla impressions always buckle me 😂

[@LorraineatNomadicRamblings]

I was fortunate to see Omid on the same bill as Al Murray at a free comedy club in West London, before either of them became famous. Have never laughed so much as I did that evening

[@nothinghaloart]

Yes mate, thanks for checking him out man. And Thanks for the reaction 🙏👌

[@brigidsingleton1596]

"chucking" him out? Did you mean 'checking him out' (or "disposing of" him?)

[@richardhargrave6082]

Omid, is brilliant, more please!

[@tonycasey3183]

How many Germans does it take to change a lightbulb? One, of course. Any more would be an inefficient use of resources. Why would you ask such a question? Now, let us all get back to work.

[@ianstaines4395]

this guy is like matt berry, distinctive voice, found in a lot of voice overs everywhere!

[@wizendrew6369]

Omid's story about meeting Gwyneth Paltrow is the funniest thing I have ever heard in my life.

[@HoneyGirlAatNo9]

I saw him live a few years ago. I was crying with laughter the entire time!

[@spikeus3039]

He's a class act, Love the Iranians here in the UK . Such a cultured, polite, knowledgeable people...and now funny! :)

[@davel8927]

He’s brilliant, you need need to watch more of his stand up 👍

[@zinnia2980]

Omid is hilarious.😅 He is British/Iranian and very popular. (We are trying to watch reactions in-between The Euros ⚽ 😍)

[@TheJulianFletcher]

I got to see one of his shows in London and he is hilarious!

[@MarkmanOTW]

You mentioned Proximo, played by the late, great Oliver Reed. He was a well-known hellraiser and very talented actor that came to the fore in the 1960s. Known for his smouldering performances he could be menacing. On chat shows he could be unpredictable and outrageous. He sadly died during filming of 'Gladiator' so some of his scences needed to be completed using ready-shot footage + special effects.

[@kengregory6026]

Omid is a great stand up...also hosts a game show over here

[@darrellpowell6042]

Omid Godzilla impressioms is in every routine he does.. He is a funny man.

[@yutehube4468]

6:08 for some reason this Godzilla bit had me in tears 😂😂

[@MrLachlanmackenzie]

Seen him live, hilarious 😂

[@kevo6190]

I've seen him in the Mummy but not standup... That was friggin hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣👏

[@chrisneal4257]

Used to see him on the TV quite a lot in the UK - always a top performer.

[@zaftra]

His laugh is his signature thing.

[@Hulks92]

Is it?

[@zaftra]

@@Hulks92 yes, when he started.

[@geebergoober929]

yes, absolute legend, he's got some brilliant stuff - you'll love it

[@Whippy99]

Omid is my favourite stand up comedian, ever. I’ve seen him several times and he never disappoints. 😁

[@elizabethsellors9046]

You need to watch him live, brilliant.

[@dr.zacking2097]

He's quality 👏👍....and uppa towen 💙

[@BloomLavender-g5q]

He was Brilliant on Never Mind The Buzzcocks

[@lukefisher2000]

He also hosts a British gameshow called The Winning Combination on the BBC King Boomer just so you know that too lol 😆 😂

[@richardmaguire9536]

I did open mic nights with him many years ago. He was hilarious from the start and just got better. His opening line was: "When my father arrived in London he had just one pound in his pocket- just one pound... but it was good gear." (I'm still doing open mic nights, not being as good as Omid.)

[@Coolvibes66]

The Mason-Dixon Line LMAO Havent heard that reference in a while 🙂

[@fishtigua]

He's also in Indiana Jones with the classic Rolls Royce.

[@louquine]

No, that's Alexei Sayle.

[@edix1673]

Omid is actualy English, born in London to Iranian Parents, he has a London accent but puts on his Iranian accent for comedy.

[@seangriffin924]

Going to see him in October, can't wait!

[@scouseofhorror104]

Loved this! Omid's a versatile legend 😅 Stand up, Gladiator, and a really good afternoon quiz show Winning Combination!

[@markthomas2577]

Omid is British of Iranian heritage. He's often on TV over here

[@aTiminCambodia]

Hes brilliant, hes been at the apollo a few times. German comedian - Henning Wehn. So funny. But that is the only comedian from germany haha 😄 😆 🤣 Tom stade! Check him our KB!!! Amwrican who lives in the UK. Hes brilliantly funny

[@waltdistel716]

Don't forget Flula Borg!

[@screamingunderbelly]

Why hasn't King Boomer ever seen 'Mean Machine' it's basically our version of the American movie 'The Longest Yard' and it was made by Guy Richie's production company & has nearly all the stars of Snatch & Lock Stock in it, even this guy Omid is in it, it's perfect for this show to react too 🤟

[@Polli-uw2mm]

this guy is funny lol I remember you laughing at his chin stutter on black books xD and please do more JAM reactions for the love of god. Its so funny! theres an american guy that reacts to the whole thing on youtube i dont know why you dont do it and upload it. You'd be the 2nd American ever to attempt it

[@anthoantho1989]

He's also does the voice of Yusuf Amir in GTA IV The Ballad of Gay Tony.

[@catshez]

"Who's at the door, 44.?" 🤣🤣🤣

[@wayne7521]

He starred in the 80s show ,The young ones,,, anything he has done ive psosiblly seen. He is fab .

[@buckyohare9993]

Saw him live just after Covid as my boss who had the tickets couldn’t go. Pissed myself, so funny!

[@That-Ginger-Chick]

I've seen Omid live. He's brilliant, and the bellydancing bit is even funnier live.

[@KNINESVIDS]

He also did the voice for a guy called Yusuf Amir in GTA IV The Ballad of Gay Tony, in gta online too. He plays the character amazingly.

[@helvete983]

Yes we know who Omid is. He's a British comedian of Iranian parentage. He's been doing stand up since the mid 90's and is also a very well respected actor. I personally love his wacky style, he reminds me a lot of Alexi Sayle an older school British comedian, with a very similar style and career path in TV and Movies.

[@PedroConejo1939]

To balance the books, maybe give Henning Wehn a try (I can't remember seeing you react to him). He's one of the minus two German comedians. Also greatly loved in Britain.

[@muninraven3327]

I love Omid. Don't watch the "Live at The Apollo" clip, because it's the same exact set. Edit: I just remembered Omid chatting to Sean Lock on a show... TV Heaven & Hell, or something close. I think our resident Boomer Muppet would like that one. :)

[@kylegacy]

Yeah, it's a shame really because his story about Ridley Scott getting angry at him is so good.

[@muninraven3327]

@@kylegacy Ah, I forgot about that. So true.

[@ennesshay5040]

The 37 min 26 second video ''TV Heaven, Telly Hell - Omid Djalili.'' Sean Lock interviewing celebrities. Especially the 33.38 mark...

[@NOKK72]

Omid presented an afternoon gameshow called "Winning Combination" on ITV or Channel4 in the last 2 years and he rips the contestants to bits. He should be on TV more.

[@rjds1800]

Yeah I remember him, not seen much from him for years. Good to see.

[@Levenstone132]

He's great😂

[@Halfdanr_H]

I’ve been to see him a couple of times in London. He cracked me up

[@carolfranklin]

OMG absolutely adore Omid wish he did much more stand up but he’s such a good actor he doesn’t have the time!

[@garethbrown9191]

He's fantastic! Loved him in "The Mummy"

[@pennyboulton9676]

He’s a brilliant Tv presenter too. He presents a Tv game show called Winning Combination.

[@mikethedigitaldoctorjarvis]

He was also in that episode of black books,he was the guy taking all the photos of Manny !

[@alistairmcdougall9625]

Omid is hilarious,there's loads of his stand up out there,please react to some more,you'll love it 😂

[@OriginsReborn]

Did you know two Englishmen drew up the Mason Dixon line? Check out two of my fellow 'Geordies' talking and singing about it here: 'Mark Knopfler plays Sailing to Philadelphia for Brian Johnson'

[@amberkelly3187]

I never realised how much of our UK comedy is quite random until watching Boomer react to it

[@JacknVictor]

He's in the TV spinoff of Snatch. Also was in Lenny Henry's last comedy sketch show. Hes in the movie "The Infidel" aswell that was very good. Hes been in a lot of stuff, and his stand up is very good. Another person i recommend checking out is Kayvan Novak. Phone jacker and face jacker woukd be a good place to start.

[@timcliffsmith]

You now have to dig out TV Heaven, Telly Hell with Omid and Sean Lock. The whole episode is great, but Omid playing his imaginary bongos is one of the funniest things ever. Sean Lock killing himself laughing.

[@peterdean653]

My favourite is stand up is Omid Djalili Live at the Palladium

[@Lones555]

I heard he gave up acting because he was sick of always playing stereotypes and then 9/11 made him not want to do comedy anymore, glad he changed his mind he's a great guy!

[@ianjardine7324]

I kind of get where he was coming from he's incredibly clever and funny and did a lot to help Muslim integration in the UK but it was kind of hard to find anything about racial differences funny after so much death and destruction on both sides.

[@ncarter9193]

​@ianjardine7324 he's not a Muslim. I have Iranian neighbours, and they aren't either. You haven't actually claimed he is, but it seems implied.

[@ianjardine7324]

@@ncarter9193 I apologise for the bad phrasing I meant to highlight his comedy bridging the cultural gap between middle eastern immigrants and natives I shouldn't have picked Muslims as an example without clarifying it was lazy of me.

[@rightlefter1285]

He’s a British comedian, really funny, been in many big films and has a clean British accent, no Iranian accent at all, he puts it on. 😂

[@joepiekl]

He does a longer version of this set on Live at the Apollo. It's amazing.

[@commonsense9176]

He played a gig in my part of Wales and had a speeding ticket. 😅

[@True_Heretic]

One of my favourite British Iranians. love the guy.

[@ansugib]

We went to see him years ago and we were crying laughing. He is also in the film 'The Mummy'. Check out his live at the Apollo clips. He is brilliant 😂

[@seijika46]

He had a two season sketch comedy show on the BBC.

[@jackh5489]

As I mentioned Djalili's many movies last time and the short stand up clip. He's a big name in the UK and well known in Europe, but my favourite film with him, is a little known UK tv comedy movie, called "The Infidel", where he, as a muslim man findes out, that he's actually adopted and Jewish. A very funny and definitely not politically correct movie, with a lot of UK actors you like....

[@wardjunior1450]

I saw al Murray last night in Lincoln. It’s was great.

[@robertkebell3719]

He was just in your latest black books episode you watched

[@roymillsjnr5172]

Originally from Iran very funny guy 🙌

[@junior602002]

Originally from London, born to Iranian parents though.

[@d12dan20]

This was probably prime Omid, he went through a period of being hugely popular to the point it helped him maintain a level of popularity to this day. Not the most in demand but he'll sell out a 2000 capacity venue on his own quite easily.

[@makaveliuk86]

You should definitely check out his appearance on "Alan Davies As Yet Untitled" and his story about his crowd work in his early stand up,he's been doing it since the 80s.....👀😱🤦‍♂️😂😂😂💜

[@rufus1346]

He went to the same school as me, in the year below. Wish I could say I remember him but he was born in London and is as British as anyone else who can call themselves British. Very funny man.

[@makaveliuk86]

And the "nutcase with the hook" was reference to a religious extremist we had in the UK who was given far too much coverage in the tabloids, and has since been deported👀😂😂💜

[@BAALABZV]

Deported, OR Given A Golden Handshake & Re'asined To Another Branch, Of MI6.😅

[@revbenf6870]

Hey Boomer you got the name pretty spot-on. I've loved his comedy for years.

[@waltdistel716]

I only know of two german comedians. Henning Wehn and Flula Borg. And both are expatriates. So -2 kind of makes sense to me XD

[@FortisConscius]

Hey, that's right! It actually explains -2!

[@guyblack]

He's great in Dickensian. I have got tickets to see him November in Newcastle.

[@keysersoze3866]

As a Brit, seeing him in Gladiator was a bit like you seeing Jim Carey in Titanic! Weird but he was still great.

[@Live-by2vk]

Jim Carey in titanic? Oh man the potential in that idea!
