Dylan Moran "WHERE'S THE CAKE?" | BEST OF What It Is | Universal Comedy

Taken from his 2009 special What It Is, Master of Surrealism Dylan Moran (Black Books) talks about cake being the language of love, how things are taken away from you in life and how Irish people were voted the ugliest in the world (and Dylan does not disagree).

I went to one of his shows in England last year and before he came on stage someone put a box of eclairs there and now it all makes sense he asked for the eclairs it just feels even more hilarious

I would disagree with Dylan on the weather thing, only because I had a Spanish girlfriend who wanted to know why the British talk about the weather all the time. To which I said "Because we have it." I had to point out that in Spain has either really hot, or cooler, versions of really sunny. 🌞 Whilst in the UK it can begin nice, becoming really warm followed by rain, sleet and/or snow followed by getting warm before the sun goes down again. 🙂
