Fax machines & Ninja Turtles? Psch, I'm sold at the possible wonders of the keyboard's MIDI interface!

Always enjoyed seeing him on UK panel shows like "Would I Lie to You," really wish guys like him and Frankie Boyle and Sean Lock (R.I.P.) had more of an international following.

[@dharini09]

Goog god, Sean Locke is no more??

[@solaceinrage]

@@dharini09 Unfortunately yes, cancer got him. Some of his friends like Jimmy, Jon and Lee Mack knew, but Sean requested they keep it secret so he could pass quietly, on his own terms.

36 was the beginning of my physical deterioration.

At the age of 36 I am living my best life, best job, best friends, I go out dancing all the time, I still longboard everyday. It wasn't until 36 that my life started to blossom.

[@miamitten1123]

Maaan stop lying. You wasted your youth if 36!is when it all came together. What the hell were you doing for 20 years!?

[@philj9594]

@@miamitten1123 You took this comedy sketch way too seriously apparently. 30s are often cited as the decade with the highest level of life satisfaction for many people.

32 this year, time to get it together

[@daraokie1157]

Just saw his show today at all together now, he was hilarious

[@winec00ler]

36, the year I decided I didn't care for toxic friends and dumped 2 of the 3 closest to me. I also decided to fix my credit

Credit is important 😌

[@GT6SuzukaTimeTrials]

He's 45 now.

[@EMVelez-qb1zu]

Very true. It was all downhill after 34.

[@MaZaKeRaL]

This video changed my outlook. My 36th birthday is coming up soon, before I saw this video I was real sad and after watching it I'm suicidal now.

[@calamityairlines9762]

Update David O'Doherty is 46

[@wharpig]

I'm 36...pretty accurate but I also am financially secure and have the best friends. It's not all bad.

WHY THE HELL IS EVERYONE HERE IN THEIR MID 30s?

[@yassingbreel7854]

Because aging is horrible 🤣🤣🤣

[@philj9594]

Because we are pondering being at this age and then googling about it to see about other experiences.

[@naimam3976]

Im watching this video as I am a few shy months away from 35. I guess I like to hurt my own feelings lol

[@Menibor1]

Why does he sound like a leprechaun?

[@williamg9441]

Your ears work

[@brett4264]

Dude, it ONLY gets worse.

[@Liolia22]

I like the content itself, as well as the fun twist at the end, but I’m not sure the music element does much for it. Possibly because he’s playing the same key & it gets a bit annoying.

[@Alr1ghtyThen]

That's part of the joke too...

[@Liolia22]

@@Alr1ghtyThen I get that. It is funny in some parts, but just feels too repetitive after a while. Like the same joke (basic repeating notes) over & over loses its impact. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@Alr1ghtyThen]

@@Liolia22 yeah it did go on a bit too long in the 2nd half

[@AlexXDiety]

This dude very oddly sounds like Kumail Nanjiani

[@EMVelez-qb1zu]

No. He sounds exactly like Chris O’Dowd.

[@theoneandonlykyle9800]

I'm 36 women don't want you anymore dogs bark at you more. Approaching hot women is off limits because you'll be labeled a Creep. All I have is anime my job and exercise that's about it dating is dead.

This video, though newly posted, is from around 10 years ago.
