"And she is naturally going to *presume*..." [horrified double take] is one of the finest bits of comedy timing I think I've ever seen.

[@FunkyLittlePoptart]

This reminds of my sister's destination wedding. To save money, my dad and I split a hotel room. Every single day, the maids would push our beds together. We asked them not to do it and explained that it was creepy, but they kept shoving them together with towel origami of love swans on top.

[@GBfanatic15]

did you tell them he was your dad? :P

[@prunabluepepper]

You can be very sure that someone bribed them to do it, and enjoys to this day that you still complain about it XD A gift that lasts a lifetime.

[@markplain2555]

You should've leaned in to that. Give them your and your dad's underwear and ask them to make something of it.

[@kevinfoo8031]

Laughed my pants off so hard they turned into a duck.

[@judythompson8227]

I love the way he builds on small things into adventures in hysterical terror...

[@areasquirrel]

I'd never heard of the Turn Down Team before this tour, ever since we shout "TURN DOWN TEAM!!" at least once during a hotel stay.

[@EleanorPeterson]

His timing is brilliant.

[@danlw212]

A couple days ago I thought that the story of poor ol’ Chuggy was the funniest thing I’ve ever heard. Right now, I don’t know what to think about that! Keep up the awesome work Dara!

[@echognomecal6742]

Gotta ask if, as a child, you read Mike Mulligan & His Steam Shovel. It has a happier ending :)

[@cannaweallgetalong7168]

"The pheasant" "make a fecking duck".... omg "that's not important let me tell you what he's really like" Love his thought process

[@qwadratix]

The real joke here is that this is EXACTLY what they do. I used to travel a lot for work, staying in hotels all over the world. Some were seriously basic with like literally a hosepipe sticking out of the wall in the bare concrete bathroom as the source of water. Others were ostentatious enough that even Royalty stayed in them (The hotel in Beijing that Queen Elizabeth stayed in was one). In those places, things like origami pyjamas would not be out of the ordinary.

[@decodolly1535]

I've only ever been in one hotel where I returned to the room to find my pyjamas had been removed from the drawer where I left them and had been refolded on the pillow. When I'd finished saying "What the f*ck is this freakery?!" I then replaced my pyjamas and all my underwear into my suitcase and locked it. Every day.

[@AnonEyeMouse]

I can beat that. I stayed in a hotel in Paris. I just threw on some old comfy clothes for the journey there because it was a long train journey from the North of England, through the tunnel, and then from Calais to Paris. I got into my room, threw all my clothes onto a chair in the corner, had a shower and get dressed in clean clothes before heading out to meet up with friends. When I came back, at about 3am, I stumbled up to my room and found my work phone, house keys and pocket change in a little dish on the night stand. A receipt of some kind poking out underneath with some hand written notes in green ink all in French. Which I don't speak beyond my name is... I live in, and give me the fat one with extra sauce... And then I noticed my clothes were missing. I go down to the front desk where the night porter is on duty. A 300 Yr old munchkin man with most stereotypical French old man face you could possibly imagine. His English is worse than my French. I eventually impress upon him my confusion at my missing clothes and he eventually communicates that the laundry service is included in the room fee and it would be returned to my room, about noonish. I express my surprise and bid him goodnight. I have a 9am business thing followed by a lunch with my friends so I don't get back to my room until 8pm. My clothes are hung in a clear bag, from a hanger, from the top of the door frame. I assumed, because they had gone into my room to get my clothes, they would go in to my room to return them. But no. Worse still, my enquiry about my clothes had been taken as a complaint, so they had been returned uncleaned. They were pretty ripe after almost 24 hours of travel and being stuck in a laundry bag for another half a day. But the final pain was that the clothes were ordered largest to smallest in the clear bag. And I had decided to wear my comfy old, stretched, faded, stained, novelty 'Love Smurf' briefs... covered in well endowed smurfs and smurfettes engaged in rule 34 type activities. Because the clothes were hung from the top of the door frame, the briefs were hung at eye level. For 8 hours. My room was only one door down from the lift doors. Then I had to go and ask that my clothes actually be laundered, which cost me 25 euros because it was an additional request. I'd like to think it was only paranoia that made me keep hearing the word 'smurf' in French conversations over the next week.... I'd LIKE to...

@@AnonEyeMouse Lol Smurf is schtroumpfs in french ( pronouced Stroumf )

[@Padraigp]

​@AnonEyeMouse there's no way I'm hell they didn't plan all of that .... and that French guy...fluent English I will bet. They knew exactly what they were doing. So mad! Ya have ti laugh sometimes cos people are actually that insane or stupid that it boggles the mind..thanks for the laugh😂

[@joanhoffman3702]

My face is just on the edge of pain from laughing so much.

[@GBfanatic15]

I've worked in housekeeping before and even I'VE never heard of the "turn down team" XD but to be fair I've never worked in a fancy hotel

[@Padraigp]

Maybe ut was a brothel? Sounds so bizzare

[@adamadrianYT]

Reliving some of my favourite comedy moments ever has made me realise that this was the one thing KZbin has been missing all along. Thank you Dara

[@DNTXPCTMCH]

A very long time ago, maybe about 10 years my husband showed me a clip of a funny dude that Left me in tears I was crying so hard. Two years ago I found the show Taskmaster. I😂😂❤ For years I never knew it was Dara O Briain that made me laugh so hard. I subscribed immediately when I saw this channel!!!❤

[@anothersquid]

When i was in Caracas, the pillow treat was a mickey of rum.

[@sleeperyjeemtoybox]

Actually had a turndown team visit me once.....hadn't a clue what it was at the time, so just said no thank you.....years later seen this and it all made sense.

[@nigelbond4056]

A true comedy legend, fecking brilliant 🤣🤣

[@user-db6wv4rd9m]

So glad you are producing your own KZbin channel! I miss Mock the Week ❤️🇨🇦

[@danpage6907]

My wife & I love Dara Ó Briain's humor in general, but this routine has got to be the pinnacle of his standup work. (The armadillo is a very close second....)

[@ItsDaElk]

This one is just brilliant! The build up from one hilarious scene to next is incredible. Happy New Year Dara and Team.

[@antelope6826]

I died of laughter in the middle of this 😂🤣😭 and came back to life if only to watch more Dara clips in the future

[@question-question]

Good man Dara. Always enjoyable.

[@AquaticFeather]

Funniest man 😂😂 Great dynamic and amazing delivery of each line

Happy New Year Dara! Thank you for all of the hilarity you provide - when I need a laugh, I can 100% count on your comedy to make it happen:)

[@dianacfleming]

Omg, I almost choked on my prosecco.

[@subbtopp]

oh Dara, you make me so happy. x

[@LOUDERthanU]

The pheasant can strike anywhere….

[@hannahk1306]

If I have to stay in a hotel, I usually put the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door, precisely because I don't want strangers in what is essentially my bedroom for the night: it feels like a massive invasion of privacy and completely unnecessary for short stays. I don't need clean towels when I've been there less than 24 hours; I'd prefer to make the bed in a way that I can actually get in it; the bin is highly unlikely to need emptying; I'm also highly unlikely to have ploughed through all of the toiletries and drinks. The vast majority of things that I might need during my stay, I can just ask for them at reception.

[@ericlong9085]

Excellent 👌

[@terranovarubacha5473]

Damn fine comedy

[@ulalaFrugilega]

🎉 A feast for eyes, ears, and heart, Sir 😂 Thank you very much.

[@mattresbert]

Brilliant ❤

[@h.s.9465]

Hah, this reminded me about my summer job at a hotel where I did turn downs to some rooms. It felt like such a silly thing to do - close the curtains and open the bed 😅

[@KB28L]

Amazing!

[@SoItGoesCAL34]

Thanks so very much. Happy New Year

When you are one minute in the video and get two 30 second unskippable ads, the video is ruined. This platform kills, Dara. You are great, KZbin is not. Bye.

[@ChristineKelly1000]

I’ve watched this video without one ad. The number of ads you see is as a direct result of your ad settings, the number of times you accept cookies and the vlogs you hit like that have ads on them. There are a number of vlogs which show you how to adjust your settings to avoid ads.

[@ClaudeSac]

@@ChristineKelly1000 I know, but thank you. Not all the computers I work with are mine to administer though. The YT platform requires you to meticulously manage every device you use to enter that platform; if you want to enjoy it, that is. My criticism about YT still stands. And I fully realise that I am just pissing in the wind ...😂 👍

[@Yxalitis]

Look, a comedian that isn't woke, or anti wok, or racist, or anti-racist, or needs to swear three times a sentence, just nice, funny, awesome routines. Amazing!

[@ulalaFrugilega]

Is the Algorithm getting sardonic or why is the recommended video after this the one about Graham Linehan claiming the Comedy Industry destroyed his life, the very fate Dara so narrowly avoided?!

[@user-ob1oi7kn2w]

He aknowledges God and Jesus 3 or 4 times in his act. He really believes in Jesus which is great. indeed. Hes very very funny . Fab timing and great stories....😊😊😊😊😊
