Dara and the Tayto crisps

Dara O'Briain Irish comedian at Vicar Street talking about Ireland and the Tayto
I didn't do the subtitles, I know there are some incorrect spellings there, but I think it's better with than without subtitles - esp. for the non-Irish audience. Sometimes you have to have subtitles, listen to this one for example:
• Dog licence - 96fm win...

[@LukesEnglishPodcast]

Love the way he so casually catches the crisp packet mid sentence, with his left hand.

[@Ragazar]

Damn, looks like you blew up since commenting this 😂 But that's his right hand!

[@ducheswannabe]

Mick from tayto is a marketing genius... :)

[@BlueJazzBoyNZ]

Aoife Is a Legend !!

[@Artess-od8wb]

So that's where all the vowels went from the Welsh language. They just swam across to Ireland.

[@eoinh1]

Артём Высоцкий I have only four letters in my name - three vowels - Eoin. Irish names are mad.

[@CountessCulhame]

I'm moving to Scotland and my Granny was like, "I'll get you a big bag of Tayto". Getting her priorities right as always. She got me Vitazade too.

[@poslednisoud]

best thing about this: I have never been in Ireland, I never tasted Tayto crisps or even heard of it yet I want to buy it now :D

[@midletonhole4528]

Nazael Rahl you would get them online i suppose

[@johnking5174]

Nazael Rahl Conan O'Brien in the US was introduced to Tayto crisps when he took his talkshow to Chicago and he visited their Irish Heritage Center,

[@wescha]

John King Tayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyytooooooo

[@Byronpat]

+Nazael Rahl The Ulster ones are better!

A few things for non-Irish friends. First, the version of Tayto in Northern Ireland isn't what Dara is talking about or eating. He's talking about the original and better Tayto Cheese & Onion that you can only get in the Republic. The NI one's aren't bad but they're just not the same. Second, not only did Tayto invent Cheese & Onion flavoured crisps, they invented the means by which crisps are flavoured and then gave away the secret so that other companies could do it too. So, whether it's Walkers or Pringles or anything else, it all originated with Joe Murphy and his Tayto Cheese & Onion. Prior to that, crisps were usually plain and came with a little packet of salt to spread over them. Third, the Tayto Cheese & Onion crisp sandwich is sublime. Another sublime Tayto sandwich is the Corned Beef and Tayto Salt & Vinegar sandwich (Cheese & Onion is also great with with corned beef). Fourth, anyone who says King's Crisps are better has no soul.

[@PK-qo1ww]

but kings are a rebranded cheaper tayto cheese and onion

[@fidelcastro3607]

"The NI one's aren't bad but they're just not the same. " That's the conflict summed up

[@KungfuCow5]

jedsithor Listen mate, Armagh is better than your ma.

[@jedsithor]

Sorry, I can't offer a witty response. I'm at the barbers, just getting a shave Antrim off the top...

[@KungfuCow5]

jedsithor Also, the Free State brand are coloured red, white, and blue... the main issue is that the North is Proper Ireland.

[@jazcash]

I love the way he caught it, "You're a fucking legend" :D

[@mosspally6995]

One thing, he says the word 'craic' which is spelled 'crack' in the subtitle. 'Craic' is Irish slang for a bit of fun.

[@lavrentivs9891]

Wasn't the name of the tour "craic dealer" or something like it?

[@mosspally6995]

Lavrentivs aye it was. Always thought it was great name

[@Ogrecrusher]

Yet they managed to spell Aoife correctly...

[@ep4everlegend317]

moss pally he also said.. Milkado and it's subtitle spelt as mercado

[@Emberrss]

and Scottish

[@martinwarner3593]

When I was a kid my parents had a friend called Helen, who worked in quality control for Smiths Crisps….every time they were working on a new flavour she would turn up at my school with boxes and boxes of crisps, in plain white packets, and my class had to conduct a taste test…how popular did that make me!!!! We were used as guinea pigs for the salt n shake bags of crisps that were relaunched in the early seventies…that one I remember clearly….the others are a bit hazy though I seem to recall they tried out Chipsticks on us as well

[@RoonMian]

Subtitles guy wrote "great crack" instead of "craic" but kew how to spell "Aoife" :D

[@almostfm]

Yeah, I kind of wondered about that.

[@TheHutchy01]

Maybe they did have some good crack at the event as well as Dara's craic.

[@zakmartin]

We (Irish people) didn't always spell crack as the Irish-language version, craic. It only became craic when the drug crack became popular. When I was a kid growing up in Ireland, we spelled it crack. The word craic did not exist as a word in the Irish language until the mid 60s. It derives from the word crack (and not the other way round, as many people believe).

[@cyrodilicbrandy]

@@zakmartin my local newspaper in my home county of Cumbria (community of Irish descent in parts) still has the name Cumbria Crack…I wish they would just use “craic” 😆😆

[@zakmartin]

@@cyrodilicbrandy But Cumbria crack has a slightly different meaning to Irish craic, doesn't it? My understanding is that Cumbria crack is news or gossip, whereas Irish craic is having a laugh or taking the p***. Do you know this one: "And they'll say 'Good on you Paddy' With your boat-fare in your hand. The craic was good in Cricklewood And they wouldn't leave the Crown." ?

[@Xanatos712]

Nice catch, Dara.

[@CorvusCorone68]

he's a gamer, i heard gamers have good hand-eye coordination in real life too, the military likes em for that reason, can figure out how to operate a gun quickly

[@DrDespicable]

Dara's a darlin' man, and I love him, Lord knows - but does he look like he's ever NOT caught a packet o' crisps?

[@alicebrown2393]

He genuinely looks so happy eating those crisps

[@philipberthiaume2314]

I like this Dara person, he is smart, funny and a good guy.

Now that's the kind of heckling anyone would love (I hope). Aoife (gah, the pronunciation :P) is a sweetheart. A genius sweetheart.

[@harvesterofsorrow111]

Pure utter Irish humour at its best, never get sick of this sketch. I love the uniqueness of this. Dara is an absolute legend.

[@g13flat]

I hope Mick from Tayto got a promotion and a bonus for his ingenious idea.

[@Mojosbigstick]

Brilliant improvisation. He is an amazingly clever man!

[@AlfaRomeoV6]

yes, the subs are from the dvd. I know how to spell craic, and I also wouldn't skip subtitling the sunset over the gaa pitch in Aughrim:)

[@sianchild]

I'm English but relatives are Irish so I've been over loads, and I love Tayto crisps! There's nothing quite like them. I just got back from Sligo this weekend, and this is making me miss Tayto.

[@buzon1658]

I just came back from Ireland and because of this video, on my list of Must's was to score at least one packet of Tayto crisps. I fulfilled my quest at a petrol stop. The cheese & onion are amazing...

[@AliTheAllStar]

Had to watch this again after visiting Ireland and eating Tayto. Gonna take some back with me. hahah

[@marycanary86]

how cute was dara munching away. he looked so damn chuffed

[@MisterAppleEsq]

Best encore ever.

[@SweetasSugar42]

4:34 for the most Irish thing you'll ever see

[@marklynch2012]

Dara looks like the Tayto man

[@AuntieWelly]

Not as much as he looks like the Megabus man lol

[@spider5600]

Or Gru from Despicable Me

[@thetertinator9562]

If their both clever enough, tayto and megabus could start a marketing campaign where the megabus man has a tayto branded eye patch

[@FSMusicLTD]

He could get a side job working at Tayto park in the summer for an extra bit of money

[@OWnIshiiTrolling]

He REALLY enjoyed eating those crisps.

[@ygnir1]

Hahahahaha the way he says "You're a fukin legend". And that was some catch

[@sallyquilford]

Love this story! Thanks for posting!

[@gillb6366]

I just finished my stash of Tayto here in China. Wish I hadn't seen this video now! I'll have to get some posted over I guess.

[@tiamonroe7850]

Caught it like a boss

[@Daniel_Nye]

I read an explanation about that joke in his book, and he made his point about how the Tayto crisps had quite a history in Ireland, but it's just so much funnier and alot easier to see what he was getting at with this footage, so thank you very much, just hillarious.

[@08sunbabe]

mick from taytos. absolute legend!!!! dara o briain, legend!!!! which makes this clip, EPIC!!!!

[@patdaman12]

I went to Northern Ireland for a week. I can tell you they are amazing. Better than any major crisp brand in this country.

[@Uloveituslags]

I have actually said to my family more than once 'When I move to London, I don't know how I'll cope without Tayto...'

[@alin1975]

Oh man that was funny. Dara is my favourite stand up act. Theres just something about his delivery that is spot on. I am beginning to be a huge fan of Mick too :D

[@rmcdaniel423]

BTW . . . I just discovered Dara this week, here on KZbin, and love his work. This man is BRILLIANT, and should be making buckets of money doing shows here in the states as well. Another brilliant man that is not well known here is Tim Minchin. You folks have a lot offer!

[@PtolemyJones]

I remember when Conan did a visit to an Irish place and he loved the name of Tayto's...

[@LadyRhiannon92]

Tayto....Just that word alone cracks me up~ :D

[@chiroptera626]

Dammit now I wanna try those chips but I'm in America.

[@AMYCLFLYNN]

Bloody freaking brilliant luv Dara o'brien!!!

[@ensigncook432]

Needed a laugh to start my day and this was superb

[@thedolphin5428]

Master storyteller.

[@solitarymacaroni]

we now have Tato crisps here in Melbourne supermarkets. Every time I see them, I remember Dara and this video XD

[@PiratesAndCowboys]

Dara is brilliant haha

[@johnjm3152]

Nogla, Stop at the east terminal i need to buy a bag of Taaytos

[@EvesInParadise]

Thanks so much for posting!! Any chance you could upload the whole routine? I've never seen this one and I love Dara so much!!

[@derekmulready1523]

If you love him that much buy the dvd

[@The_Republic_of_Ireland]

You know it's an Irish crowd when they're cheering the lad on stage for eating Tayto's 😂

[@Ye4rZero]

Awesome throw & catch

[@michikomanalang6733]

I LOVE this!

[@jjopassmore]

i love the fact that it's subtitled HAHA!

[@yourhowhigh6635]

Just brilliantly executed

[@phocjame]

Thanks for the subtitles mate.

[@poppy2365]

Proud to be Northern Irish and live 15 mins away for tayto castle! It's awesome!

[@felisd]

Is this the Tayto Crisps bit he was referring to in his book "Tickling the English"? I'm glad I finally got to see it!

[@imme4810]

To all the english and American lads, Tato is the best..crisps

[@ryankinsella99]

they are like heaven

[@ImRyanReno]

I'm a native English speaker and I'm really happy for the subtitles.

[@MetalSiicken]

this guy is amazing...

[@supercolourme]

My cheeks hurt.... he's a legend!!

[@NineTails20]

Sent from heaven by God to the Irish. Tayto are AMAZING.....

[@jae2476]

Ahhh! Thanks so much

[@TwilightObsessedxox]

more then my family xD TAYTO'z r tha best .. XD

[@belindatang1037]

Freaking hilarious!

[@Graid]

I'm Scottish, we have tayto crisps here, or at least we did in my childhood, they're a sort of budget brand of crisps, usually made of corn, of which Biker crisps was definitely the best variety. I had no idea they were Irish.

[@erimear]

Good point. You rarely see that on KZbin.

[@patdaman12]

I wish I lived in Northern Ireland sometimes and I can approve of this message.

[@alck12345]

"Fukin legend!" haha brilliant, it was a brilliant catch too! I really want a packet of cheese and onion tayto's now!

[@julianking4957]

thanks for the subtitle.

[@koca002]

yeah its an extra on his dvd dara o'briain talks funny

[@Midnightpigeon666]

That was the greatest 🤣

[@beatrizngra]

Dara is a f-ing legend.

[@Cathal1992edition]

Aoife, you're a legend!

[@WobblingFiddle]

Legend!

[@IRISHINFIDEL]

tayto were the originators of the chesse and onion flavour crisps,i prefer walkers now,but thats coz i was brought up on taytos,taytos were the ones that sold their cheese/onion recipe to all others

[@fatjez]

What a catch! He didn't even fucking move!

[@ianjones9961]

That's why he works with the hands-free headset mic. Because how else are you gonna catch a packet of crisps in one hand while drinking water with the other?

[@psychobollox]

i LOVE Tayto crisps!!!!!!

[@JackBracken]

He says 'More than an Aughrim GAA pitch'. Aughrim is a town, GAA is an Irish sports organisation.

[@jmosleyism]

Hello my name is John and I miss the Tayto.

[@ChrisR395]

I grew up in the North and now visit my ma in the South twice a year. Tayto tastes the same all over Ireland.

[@cdplayer2397]

Can you PLEASE put the rest of this gig up?!?

[@finbarscanlonwolf]

Now that's as irish as you can get 😂😂

[@lilpotayto]

The only other things that come to mind are Tanora soft drink and Barry's Tea. There are probably others but I'm not sure what we export and what we don't.

[@kristinaking9572]

Oh. My. God. Put the Closed Captioning on (the little CC button in the bottom right of the video) and prepare to double over with laughter. KZbin isn't very good with Irish accents, I see...

[@OrionoftheStar]

Kristina King your must miss the 80 something terrible.

[@nonrehc]

Tayto crisps are the best! Got to love those cheesy, oniony bad boys :D

[@CrinimalMindsRox]

My friend moved to America and when she visits she buys loads of Tayto, cadbury's, and HB cause she can't get them over there and she misses them (especially cadbury's)

[@DavidScobie]

tayto crisps really are good the spring onion ones are the best crisps ever.

[@SocFly84]

Bailed completely on "Aughrim gaa pitch" too, guess he's Irish enough!

[@THCynical]

Kings KINGS!!!!

[@ChrisR395]

The two biggest things I miss about living in Ireland are the Guinness and the Tayto. The Tayto are fantastic.

[@jedsithor]

@afivey Sarcasm aside, Tayto did invent the flavour. Joe Murphy and Seamus Burke created it. They also invented Salt and Vinegar. Before that, the only added flavouring on crisps came from little packets of salt included with the crisps. They were pioneers in how flavouring was added to potato chips. Every crisp company in the world owes their many flavours to Tayto. It's how we took our revenge on the potato after the famine. We drowned it in grease and artificial flavours lol

[@HopSkipLimp]

Ta for this.

[@Irish780]

tayto were the first crisps put in the bag. THE DADDIES

[@PanglossDr]

Just for information, Tayto made the first ever flavoured crisps.

[@daveroche6522]

So true - the first to come up with Cheese and Onion. Sweet!

[@williamtraynor4350]

I'm so disappointed looking at comments about different religious crisps and little about the comic genius himself DARA O'BRIAN

[@colin76samp]

He actually spells his name as Dara and tayto crisps are available in england in Asda

[@nocalsteve]

I want to meet Mick from Tayto!

[@declan0872]

ya, it was da extras on his newest dvd

[@AuntieWelly]

Ahhh Dara if only you read this. The TAYTO are here! I just found some in Tesco, cheese and onion, so despite being not a big fan of crisps in general, I had to buy them. Well they are really very nice, much finer than the usual dross, a more subtle flavour and thinner cut. I'm a convert!

Less oily too.

[@A-Duck]

That fucking legend.
