Dara and the Tayto crisps

[@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!

[@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.

[@ducheswannabe]

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

[@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.

[@jedsithor]

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.

[@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!

[@vaughnyalasagna4183]

Conan O Briain

[@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

[@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

[@jazcash]

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

[@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." ?

[@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:)

[@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.

[@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

[@ionpal9568]

CorvusCorone68 That's only after they figure out where the crouch button is.

[@GenericUsername-qp1ww]

+Ion Pal So long as we finally stop looking up and down, trying to toggle maps and then stop run-jumping at an obstacle.

[@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?

[@philipberthiaume2314]

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

[@Mojosbigstick]

Brilliant improvisation. He is an amazingly clever man!

[@alicebrown2393]

He genuinely looks so happy eating those crisps

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

[@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.

[@g13flat]

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

[@MisterAppleEsq]

Best encore ever.

[@AliTheAllStar]

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

[@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...

[@marycanary86]

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

[@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.

[@sallyquilford]

Love this story! Thanks for posting!

[@OWnIshiiTrolling]

He REALLY enjoyed eating those crisps.

[@SweetasSugar42]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@thedolphin5428]

Master storyteller.

[@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!

[@ygnir1]

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

[@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

[@williamtraynor4350]

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

[@PtolemyJones]

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

[@AMYCLFLYNN]

Bloody freaking brilliant luv Dara o'brien!!!

[@PiratesAndCowboys]

Dara is brilliant haha

[@Ye4rZero]

Awesome throw & catch

[@solitarymacaroni]

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

[@ImRyanReno]

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

[@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

[@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...'

[@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.

[@ensigncook432]

Needed a laugh to start my day and this was superb

[@hero2342]

@qhlpp no i think he was just joking about how out of all the difficulties of living abroad like missing family and friends, the only one the guy asked about was tayto crisps

[@LadyRhiannon92]

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

[@chiroptera626]

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

[@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.

[@johnjm3152]

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

[@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

[@erimear]

Good point. You rarely see that on KZbin.

[@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.

[@koca002]

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

[@poppy2365]

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

[@jjopassmore]

i love the fact that it's subtitled HAHA!

[@JackBracken]

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

[@yourhowhigh6635]

Just brilliantly executed

[@MetalSiicken]

this guy is amazing...

[@michikomanalang6733]

I LOVE this!

[@sillygoose2878]

Big up Aoifie

[@declan0872]

ya, it was da extras on his newest dvd

[@qhlpp]

is there something particularly special about "more than my family, more than my friends, more than the summer sun...?" are these lines from a TV commercial or something? (i'm not from Ireland so i have no idea)

[@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!

[@ryankinsella99]

they are like heaven

[@bungalowbiscuits]

Northern Tayto licenced the name and recipe off the Southern Company and the other user is right Tayto creator Joe Murphy did invent Cheese and Onion and the actual whole process of flavouring crisps or as what our American friends would call chips. However I am personally glad I live near the border and have access to the Southern Version because I do prefer them myself because they may have had the same original recipe but different spuds or oil must make the world of difference!

[@djwinger2003]

@mightynurse lol I see your point. These aren't official subs from a DVD though. Begs the question of why going to all that bother for a 7 minute clip.

[@Isrjisoneavalable]

What’s the show called? I’d love to buy the DVD

[@imme4810]

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

[@colin76samp]

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

[@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)

[@Restayvien]

@HPDMRLSB It's not the uploaders fault that no one from Ireland bothered to post up a version subtitled by an Irishman. ;)

[@NineTails20]

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

[@MrShanbla]

@HPDMRLSB : Ypu have a fair point and you may have spotted that whoever titled it spelled "Mikado" a bit like Dara pronounces it and spells " Mercado". It just isnt the same to us Irish people. haha

[@321womble]

Is Mick from Tayto MD yet?

[@DreamClean]

There's only subtitles because someone turned them on the DVD or whatever before uploading it to KZbin. They're there for deaf people, not because we can't understand him.

[@phocjame]

Thanks for the subtitles mate.

[@beatrizngra]

Dara is a f-ing legend.

[@jmosleyism]

Hello my name is John and I miss the Tayto.

[@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

[@ztoical]

would be nice to think they went out to the shops but it's on in vicar street so she only had to go as far as the bar.

[@cdplayer2397]

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

[@PanglossDr]

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

[@daveroche6522]

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

[@darraghgregory5675]

For those who hasn't been or heard of but ya need to get cadburys chocolate it's so nice and American chocolate is just Coco it's rank

[@WobblingFiddle]

Legend!

[@MrAzijn]

in the subtitles around 4:24, craic is what he means

[@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?

[@harvesterofsorrow111]

@ShogunnSlimm basically crisps = chips and chips = fries.

[@supercolourme]

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

[@nocalsteve]

I want to meet Mick from Tayto!

[@TwilightObsessedxox]

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

[@soheavyastokill]

It's not racist at all, he has a very strong accent which some people might struggle to understand, and he also speaks quite fast. Some Irish movies even have subtitles because the accents and dialects can be bloody difficult for outsiders to make sense of.

[@emilydolores6458]

Tayto are heavenly. For fecks sake, I would love to get that pack of crisps. And, Kimberly are also incredible, as well as Tiffin chocolate. Irish junk food is great.

[@killianb921]

yeah and chicken fillet rolls they can only be found in ireland

[@bleddyuffles]

yes, Yes they are

[@johnshee3]

Where can I meet this Mick from Tayto Crisps

[@patdaman12]

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

[@dob1997]

I want to see the end of this!

[@08sunbabe]
