Dara Ó Briain Is The Naked Harpist! | Mock The Week

[@JackPicko91]

Dara and Ed really are the perfect combination. This and Private Browsing.

[@button1ginger1]

There's a sequence where Dara and Ed remember the time Dara was taken home drunk by the police, disturbing Ed's beauty sleep. It's very, very funny.

[@iowa89357]

I would love to see a bunch of these guys play "cards against humanity" with each other

[@BlueBagger83]

Or Farming Simulator!

[@oliviadaly4795]

​@button1ginger1 ahh I want to watch that! Do you know which episode that was? Love Ed. Him on WILTY talking about finding a steak pie in his pants after being hungover 😂

[@KegOfMeat]

Ed is so unfunny it hurts.

[@rossyoung8892]

The Naked Harpist is up there with Private Browsing and Princess Monaco of Kent as some of the best clips of Mock The Week

[@romainsavioz5466]

Don't forget monsoon poultry hospital

[@RafaelSCalsaverini]

God, I almost DIED LAUGHING with Private Browsing and Monsoon Poultry Hospital.

[@Luigiman-rc9fi]

I really liked the clip about Hugh and Chessington World of Adventures.

[@brydon5721]

@@romainsavioz5466 Clear!

[@Michylawhty]

The one where they were talking about the monkey who took that selfie. That was hilarious too xD

[@magnussankaran1097]

Later on in scenes we'd like to see: Unlikely small ads: Josh Widdicombe: 'For sale, one harp. Really, really used.'

[@TequilaToothpick]

Did he do that?

[@Nikrawl]

@@TequilaToothpick Can confirm he did.

[@IByteNL]

@@TequilaToothpick The very first item in this episode's "Scenes we'd like to see", in fact. Edit: oh, here it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pauslWSijdKHbrM (Katherine does an extra one as well.)

[@celticwolff5429]

I like how Katherine is quiet the whole time only to swoop in and land the perfect closing joke.

[@fredh1720]

@Pete Jones eww

[@fredh1720]

@Pete Jones the eww was directed at you it's 2020 there's more to women on tv than being gorgeous

[@jeffjefferson3364]

Both your guy with the organ pun and Katherine with her pun were terrible. The funniest part of the bit may have been "is there a MAAAHN here!?"

[@DrZaius3141]

@Pete Jones Step 1: Check how many comments are about how men in a video look. Step 2: Check how many comments are about how women in a video look. There is a discrepancy (about a 200:1 ratio I'd wager) which is indicative of how different genders are viewed differently.

[@Karma-qt4ji]

@Pete Jones I don't find her attractive at all, and to be perfectly honest, don't even think she is funny. She seems like a nice enough person so this is not me hating on her, but I do feel that some people might find her funny BECAUSE they think she is gorgeous. That is a common thing in all genres of the arts, for both genders. Just my two cents...

[@DrDespicable]

It's not just the harp business - I am vastly amused by how Dara and Ed can reduce each other to helpless giggles and tears of merriment... ❤❤❤

[@housequakeb6866]

When they riff on a joke and build on it as a group you get comic gold.

[@sarahkinsey5434]

The banter is so authentic, you really know they're friends

[@CycolacFan]

I’d love to see a show where Dara and Ed just sit in a pub drinking Guinness (or some other stereotype) and making each other laugh, they’ve known each other so long that they work perfectly together. Unless it’s already being done as a podcast?

[@oliviadaly4795]

That's kind of done with Alan Davies As Yet Untitled (they get the name of each episode from a bit someone says) but I'd love to see Ed and Dara on it together

[@CycolacFan]

@@oliviadaly4795 yes I’ve seen most, if not all, of those. They generally work brilliantly. Ed and Dara need a show along the lines of the Fishing one Whitehouse and Mortimer do.

[@lillianward2810]

Ed’s “Baby! Play ‘em something!” always kills me.

[@lummersloyd]

That's when I lost it

[@NichaelCramer]

Of course the first in line to the British throne is the head of all whales. Why do you think France used to have the dauphin?

[@tgroeneveld8536]

Putting Ed in the show is a guaranteed good show. Such great chemistry with Dara.

[@JoyfulJasperJamesCalmClaire]

I can never open a private browsing tab or hear about private browsing without saying "private browsing" in Dara's voice and saluting.

[@michaelscott6022]

Went from coverage of the NATO summit to playing the harp with your twig-and-berries. This show, man......

[@richin2123]

"What's the matter, Britain? Too much TRUTH for ya??"

[@suzettehenderson9278]

Man, Dara rocks! A Beastmaster joke followed by a throw away mention of a Medieval middle English poem,

[@AxelSpinnet]

Honestly the best part of this bit is just how much they're cracking up as well.

[@AndersRapp]

I can't believe how incredibly well they riff och each other. It just goes on and on endlessly! Brilliant

[@alexwhite6487]

Ed and Dara when they're on together quite often own the shown

[@andrewdillon7837]

one of the best ones is where Dara is teasing ed,,and Ed goes,,"Best Man at his wedding i was",,,,so funny,,

[@brydon5721]

I think this could well be my most favourite segment from all of Mock the Week. Crying with laughter every time I watch it.

[@ProfessorHeavy1]

I love the sudden delivery of "No, they would dance as I played."

[@devinwalton408]

I have never seen a panel on any show have so much fun and laugh so deeply.

[@BrandonMichelle]

Everyone was on top form here, Ed&Dara egging each other on, Gary with his puns, Hugh with the smart humour, Andy&Josh with the questions and observations, then Katherine tops it off with the wordplay!

[@balinthollos6933]

This is a TV classic.

[@magnussankaran1097]

This is straight up one of the best scenes in British comedy history

Irish comedy history.

[@annother3350]

It's a British TV channel. We're far too politically correct to ask each team member if they're British. 😂

[@colinmcdonough4034]

This couldn't be more Irish if it tried, Dara and Ed riffing and the rest of them trying to keep up. Glorious stuff.

[@ferghalicious1480]

Except all the British comedians were a bit shit during it. I mean Hugh’s Prince of Whales joke was met with dead silence.

[@SamarIqbal1-2-1]

Dara: “I might buy it someday!” 3:38 😆😂

[@majorhayze]

It’s so good to see people just laughing hysterically! 😂

[@MrJohnycomelately21]

Can we not have a show in which Ed and Dara just get drunk on a couch and have a laugh like that?

[@mypillowguy445]

They do commentaries on each other's dvds while drinking.

[@tompengelly8030]

Im watching this, realising I haven't had a good group laugh in a long time (even before covid). like the kind where everyone can just relax, and then noone can breathe cos the shit you're saying is just outrageous yet good. I love this skit so much, and everyone in it.

[@drizer4real]

Comic timing of Katherine is spot on with her final very dry comment. And she's a good sport, as the lads are ... well being lads :)

[@EnycmaPie]

Something amazing about some of the UK's top comedian just laughing their ass off on a playing the harp naked joke.

[@sarahkinsey5434]

That’s what happens when you hang out with your best friend!

[@josephinemonahan915]

Dara and Ed are Irish🤩

[@jamesl8640]

I think Gary's joke about playing stairway to heaven got under appreciated there.

[@moxgirl5]

"He's not the prince of all whales" lmao xD

[@luisfrau9810]

These people have so much fun being funny.

[@sarahkinsey5434]

Just friends having a good time!

[@sarahkinsey5434]

Thousandth like! Seriously this show gives me life! I was feeling really sad one day so I watched this and the Private Browsing video and was laughing my head off!

[@fullautumnmoon]

"The Sovereign also has dominion over all dolphins in British waters. The Queen owns all the sturgeons, whales, and dolphins in the waters around the UK, which dates back to a statute from 1324, during the reign of King Edward II. " They are not too far from the truth.

[@pattyandbustershow1031]

So, when is the next series? Some of us NEED to know.

[@brydon5721]

Definitely needed these days!

[@DavidOakesMusic]

@@brydon5721 can you imagine MTW now ? It'll be 100% jokes about being bored indoors and 'completing Netflix'

[@richardlloyd2589]

David Oakes My GF wont come round to Netflix & Chill anymore, says shes completed all the shows with a happy ending...

[@Tiana_Skye]

I have been watching this series since 2009 and there is never, ever a dull moment to be had. I am always excited and curious to see what shenanigans the panelists will get up to all due to one word, a single joke, and then BOOM pure gold.

[@BallyBoy95]

God I miss this show, come back!!

[@flakmoppen]

Man, I'm gonna miss this show.

[@flgbanjo]

Seriously, I could just watch Dara and Ed all day. I don't care what they talk about.

[@orionhardy]

Why are the pictures being blurred out?

[@centurionquincy3899]

That’s what I was wondering. I would say “maybe they aren’t allowed to show the royals?” But they had no problem showing it on tv, and this is the mock the week KZbin channel

[@kinsmed]

Wanted to post the same question. Circumstances like this it is usually a rights issue. Maybe the photo publisher doesn't want this image widely available. For some reason BBC is notorious about content outside UK.

[@cesariojpn]

Kinda like how QI had a hard time with going overseas. The image walls had images reportedly only OK for use in the UK, but not elsewhere. Now it's probably changed or something was worked out where now there are official clips on KZbin.

[@davidtownson1476]

It's still unblurred on the full episode (s13e07) go there.

[@gwaptiva]

A night out with Ed and Dara sounds like a bit of a hoot; nice riffing

[@markandrade7547]

I've heard of slapping the bass but slapping the harp?!?! Lol

[@daveh7720]

"What's wrong, Britiain? Too much TRUTH for ya?" I swear the best parts of this show are never broadcast.

[@decodolly1535]

The whole of this segment was broadcast in the original show.

[@davidtownson1476]

We need some more Too Hot for TV DVDs

[@Wineblood]

We need more of this

[@just-tess]

Hugh masterfully saved that Wales joke!

[@nettieb7604]

how could they cancel this show nothing else on British tv has or will ever hit this level again

[@NewMessage]

I'll never sleep again.

[@bradleybarnett9545]

All the other kids say: "My dad's a policeman..." "My dad's a racing car driver..." et cetera...Hugh Dennis says: "My dad was a bishop!" Namedropper!

[@shaalis]

I MIGHT BUY IT!!!!!! [dies]

[@leow3696]

I got a Guinness ad before this.

[@RafaelSCalsaverini]

That would really sound funny if paired with the segment where Trump called Charles the Prince of Whales.

[@danmayberry1185]

No one can play the harp with your lad the way I can.

[@ericb9426]

What's up with blurring out the pictures in these clips?

[@retnavybrat]

I would imagine the production team no longer has permission from the copyright holders to show them.

More than likely the program no longer has the rights to air the picture.

[@davidtownson1476]

Unblurred on full episode

[@BolttheSuperPony]

Why is the photo blurred?

[@PunkTiger]

International licensing. The picture is licensed for use on that show in the UK, but not for an international viewing audience. They would have to pay for the rights to use it that way. Welcome to the world of idiotic copyright laws.

[@DJ.V-W]

nice

[@Teladian2]

"I bet that President Obama doesn't have his own harpist" well actually you're right. He has an entire wind band that includes a harpist....

[@TequilaToothpick]

Why would a wind band include a harpist?

[@Teladian2]

@@TequilaToothpick because believe it or not, composers of wind band music write for harp so The President's Own Marine Band has a Harpist.
