How do you even set a fucking bike on fire?

Irish comedian David O'Doherty recorded his song 'Life' while drunk in a hotel room in Australia for the You Made It Weird podcast. It is hilarious.
I made it to 1:20. What do I win?

I like how "Kerplunk" sounds when an Irish person says it.

Ireland has many excellent comedians, and I was trying to remember if David O'Doherty is the (in my opinion for what it's worth) painfully unfunny one that annoys the crap out of me or one of the funny ones. He is in fact the painfully unfunny one who annoys the crap out of me. Some people really like him, personally I don't get it.

That. Was indeed. Bloody hilarious. Guaranteed to appeal to a curmudgeonly misanthrope Brit like me.
Now my sides hurt. Which is just bloody typical, isn't it? Still at least no one set my bike on fire. Probably because I don't even have a bike. Life, eh? Aching sides. No bike. Fucking sucks.

I found it wry, but not laugh-out-loud funny, except for the how-do-you-even bit.

"while drunk in a hotel room."
I haven't found the "funny drunk" bit humorous in a long while. Sorry to harsh your buzz, but I think that behind every drunk musician, artist and writer, there is a human being in pain. Pain can inspire Art (ask Kafka), but as I grow older, I feel the Pain more than the Art.

It is possible to be drunk without being a drunk, you know.

Yeah, being a 'drunk comedian' isn't really part of David O'Doherty's schtick. He just happens to be drunk in this one particular recording.

If you get tipsy and have a laugh with your mates, you're fine. If you write that joke down, you're a tragic clown grappling with an unsounded abyss of pain.
