Ricky Gervais- Daddy Longlegs

Short (2mins) piece on Daddy longlegs.

Great sketch!

The Brits have a different Daddy Long-Legs to other places, theirs being a long legged crane fly. In Australia we have the cellar spider, which I think is the same as the US?

Oh, well that would explain the flying bit... cause I didn't understand that at all... makes a bit more sense then

Tags for this video have been changed from 'ricky gervais, daddy longlegs, comedy' to 'ricky gervais, daddy longlegs, comedy, Animals' - edited by Zeph

From his live show 'Animals'. It's also untrue that they are venomous, Adam and Jamie disproved it.

Adding video to channels (Standup) - requested by Zeph.

Chaucer says...

We always called these grand daddy longlegs
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opiliones

My god! Who knew there were so many different 'things' (not all even spiders) that people called daddy longlegs!

I'm glad I posted this just for the realization of that!

Also, is it some sort of badge of honour to be downvoted by ant? I really fail to see how this could be offensive to anyone, but hey... there you go.

Chaucer's link is the US Daddy Longlegs. An arachnid but not a spider and doesn't build a web.

Spoco, it's because he's talking about spiders. They don't get along well together.
