Just saw this repeated on TV from last December, but I thought I would share for those who haven't seen. It is unusual for gaming to reach the forefront of a comedy stand-up, particularly on such a popular (UK) show. It isn't HILARIOUS, but it made me chuckle. Snake is mentioned!

Hahaah he's good, he pokes so much fun at the medium but he makes a lot of points that are actually true. Sadly, he swears a lot though, which takes the fun out of it for me...

Dara O'Briain's a legend. Got this on Dvd but I remember first seeing this is November and just saying 'Ah Snake' anytime it was even mildly appropriate. Didn't he do another piece about video games on the One show as well?

Ah I don't remember seeing that, but he might have I suppose. I just enjoyed being able to relate to the humour so well.

TBH, I agree about the swearing thing, though in that skit there he is pretty well mannered compared with so many others. But if the underlying humour is actually funny, I tend to be forgiving of the rudeness.
