Yep, as Dara O'Briain points out "herbal medicine has been around for thousands of years.... then we tested it all and the stuff that worked just became MEDICINE"

Personally, I prefer racism.

Maybe you're terrified. I'm really not that concerned and the clip you posted is actually satirising that very attitude.

I accidentally posted the wrong Dara O'Briain clip, but please watch the edited one (it's very funny and relevant).

Here's Stewart Lee on the same topic

The reason why is because people are terrified of the consequences, both for their physical safety and social assassination.

Even Russell Howard himself says so: https://youtu.be/a3BL837VjBE?t=182

Even in your clip Dara feels the need to apologise for pretending to make a fake joke, because he expects a particular reaction.

I'll preface this by saying that on average i like Frankie. I think he says some stupid stuff, but he may have his own reasons for doing that because he certainly isn't stupid... anyway:

What a crappy joke to lose your job over. He's a lot funnier than that, and i think he's said far worse things both in general and about the queen. I don't personally know Dara or anyone, but part of me thinks that they would have lent their artistic support to him had it been solely about that joke. Many of them are still doing it now and they seem like a tight knit bunch, and they all loved Frankie and he kept their popularity up.

I wonder if a part of him wanted to go for some reason - perhaps he felt his better material (less PG) stuff wasn't getting aired and should be.

Did you not watch the video? That was the very first point that Dara spoke about; how the stars are not in the same place at the same point in a year.

Dara Ó Briain did a bit in which he argued that Tom Cruise is the greatest actor that has ever lived - because he's made numerous highly watchable movies despite being so incredibly annoying.

There's no "of" in "Mock The Week". And the man described as looking a bit like a penis, and a bit like a sausage, armed with a buzzer, is the host, Dara O'Briain.

Dara O'Brien is meant to be a highly qualified physicist, dunno how he could let that slip.
