Best firework display ever. Who the feck wants to stand in the cold for half an hour when you can do the whole lot in a minute and bugger off. Albeit deaf.
I can't really sympathise. Being from Australia, our New Year's fireworks are in Summer. The night air coupled with a sea or lake breeze is actually quite nice.
3/4 of the comments here are how Dara OBriain got us to watch this midway into his special and the other 1/4 haven't a clue what we're talking about lol
+TK Jones Aye lol. Saw the dvd last night and forgot to check it out. Off to see what that dodgy golfer was up to next :D. All the best for the New Year.
A guy told me "I'm glad my grandfather from Oban didn't live to see this day.". "Why would he have been really ashamed of the cock-up?" "No he had shell-shock.".
+Michael Price Tbh if you turn the sound up and close your eyes, you really can imagine yourself on a ww2 battlefield or in no mans land after going over the top. I can definitely see what that guy meant, it Sounds terrible.
This same footage is on the BBC site with the BBC logo so one can only assume that it was the BBC camera operator who couldn't figure out how to zoom out to see the whole view.
That was epic... i'm sorry people.. A one minuet explosion of fireworks is better that 20 mins of pissing about one at a time. they should do this every year.
Thanks Dara. . Oban has had many visitors from Cork . . . virtual visitors . . . . but still! If there was a virtual Oban tourist board, they owe Dara O Briain a load of gratitude!
Awesome. I love that last lone firework at the end. After a minute of the most intense firework show ever, that one last firework seems like good punctuation to the show.
Oh I so love watching this video. It is so spectacular and makes me laugh so much. I hope the good folk of Oban can appreciate how much joy this little hiccup gave to thousands of viewers across the globe. Oban, we love you!
This reminds me of fireworks in the Netherlands... none of the mucking about one arrow at a time, just 17 million people lighting all their shit in just over 30 minutes.
Holy cow, that display was really fast, that malfunction Should be addressed and fixed, the professionals bare the Brunt of the fails, booing and hissing, leaving disappointed or sad, Man, how terrible is that.
@no1cammy Agreed. You still get an awesome spectacle, without the trouble of standing in a field in the freezing cold for half an hour and getting a crick in your neck from spending the same staring upwards.
lets look at the positive all the publicity for oban it even made the national news,i was there and it was a spectacular 30 second and i got home for a dram quicker than i expected
to nattiechristopher my 9 year old rescued dog loves watching fireworks and never cowers under the table, since I rescued him as a pup I have always encouraged him to watch such things from indoors, so he knows that he is not going to come to any harm. We watched the re-run last night from the comfort of our home and we all enjoyed the show, well done pyro 1.
Awesome.... Best advert for Oban ever... I'd never heard of it before this. I just had to look it up on Google Maps. Sounds like my kind of place. No fussing, just get on with the job.
Well ,he likes country and western ,if thats what y`all mean . But who don`t ? What is porridge though ? I saw a picture. It looks like Bonda ,the stuff you fix houses up with.
All firework displays should be like this. I don't want to spend 30 minutes in the cold watching stuff pop in the air. Launch it all at once and have one amazing minute rather than 30 mediocre ones.
1,415,871 people paused Dara O Briain: craic dealer and came to watch this
Paused at 4.45, now I'm going back to watch the rest of it.
Ha ha! That is exactly what I've just done!
& I've just done exactly that :-), I love the bit at the end "You can all go home now"
Leigh Eastham me too
Anna Graysmith Boy am I glad not to be the only one.
Thanks, Dara ;)
lmao. yea I saw Craic Dealer there and checked this because of Dara as well. haha. i was giggling during this :P haha
Cormac McCarthy lol, from Russia with love :D I saw this show too ! Dara the best !
Hahaha! Dara is the best. Well said ;) hehe
I know right?
Да-да)) Если бы он не сказал я бы сюда не залез))

You should've seen San Diego's fuck up lmfao
I don’t know why albeit deaf at the end killed me so much 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
my Craic Dealer brought me here!
same here :P short and sweet :P
same here :-)
OI OIIIIIII
kevin love
3/4 of the comments here are how Dara OBriain got us to watch this midway into his special and the other 1/4 haven't a clue what we're talking about lol
hahaha totally why I'm here! Just watching Craic Dealer now :D
yes!
That's as may be, but what about that super injunction?
Correct, also who is Dara Obriain
something for the dads
+John Dolan I see you and I were sent here by Dara
+TK Jones Aye lol. Saw the dvd last night and forgot to check it out. Off to see what that dodgy golfer was up to next :D. All the best for the New Year.
Who else is here because of Dara O'Briain?
Right, back to Craic Dealer it is...
I paused it for a brief bit of Google and UA-cam. I'm going back now.
I must say, that I would actually prefer this to a 10 minute boring show.
Easily

Дара О Бриэн пропиарил видос
Even the stuff nobody can read is a about Dara
This same footage is on the BBC site with the BBC logo so one can only assume that it was the BBC camera operator who couldn't figure out how to zoom out to see the whole view.
That was epic... i'm sorry people.. A one minuet explosion of fireworks is better that 20 mins of pissing about one at a time. they should do this every year.
'UA-cam it, it's fucking epic!' thanks Dara!!
That last lonely rocket at 1:22 is like "dammit lads where'd everyone go, did I miss the craic?"
Thanks Dara. . Oban has had many visitors from Cork . . . virtual visitors . . . . but still!
If there was a virtual Oban tourist board, they owe Dara O Briain a load of gratitude!
I hate to be unoriginal, but thanks Dara!
G
Same here :D Thanks Dara! :D
It so cute, Dara O'Briain connecting us!
Fantastic! This is what a firework display should be like, none of the one after the other nonsense. Thanks Dara.
like if you came here from dara hahaha
@LouisWinthorpeIII There certainty is an issue with people stringing out shows too long. You cant do 30 mins for 6K unless its thin.
Dara O'Briain brought me here. :)
All fireworks displays should be like that! The ones in Cardiff this year dragged about ten minutes worth out over a long, cold half hour.
Fantastic! They should do this every year. People would come from miles around to see the biggest firework display in the shortest time.
Literally JUST came back from his show and went straight here :D
Awesome. I love that last lone firework at the end. After a minute of the most intense firework show ever, that one last firework seems like good punctuation to the show.
I spent NYE at Sydney Harbour Bridge in 2006/7...I wish it had been this quick.
Almost one and half million people pirated Craic Dealer ;)
Oh I so love watching this video. It is so spectacular and makes me laugh so much. I hope the good folk of Oban can appreciate how much joy this little hiccup gave to thousands of viewers across the globe. Oban, we love you!
Apparently the council made up for it and did a second display a few days later. xD
My thanks go to Dara too for this link. Great show on Tuesday night in spite of initially reserved audience.
I've paused Dara on Sky+ . Better go back to see if he has got any funnier
This reminds me of fireworks in the Netherlands... none of the mucking about one arrow at a time, just 17 million people lighting all their shit in just over 30 minutes.
you can all go home now
If you listen very carefully.. At the end you can hear sandstrom playing on the wind right after the display thats what got me 🤣
Dara, what a legend! Even better when you're live in the room!
That is tremendous. Long firework displays get boring after a few minutes anyway.
Short and sweet is the way forward.
No word of a lie I could swear I heard darude sandstorm at like 1:20-1:25
It's true
+blitz gaming JAJAJAJAJAJA
Ö I heard it too!
+Blitz Illuminati confirmed
you are correct
Much better than stringing it out for 15 minutes. Everyone should follow Oban's example.
Just a proper place to gather an audience of Dara O'Briain :D
I like this better than the normal fire works display. Just add another minute and it would be perfect.
That is THE WAY to do fireworks...brilliant.
Holy cow, that display was really fast, that malfunction
Should be addressed and fixed, the professionals bare the
Brunt of the fails, booing and hissing, leaving disappointed or sad,
Man, how terrible is that.
imagine the situation
employe: shit..
boss: WHAT THE FUCK?!
employe: *whistles innocently*
I can't see how anyone can complain - that was far more exciting than the usual boring "1 or 2 fireworks in the sky at once" routine we usually get!
Thanks,Dara!) From Russia)
Thx Dara, from russian too ))
Thanks Dara, back to watching your show!
WTYP brought me here
I LIVE THERE I SAW IT IN PERSON . They had give everyone an apology. It was amazing!!!!!
Dara, it's awesome!
F**KING EPIC!
FTFY.
@no1cammy Agreed. You still get an awesome spectacle, without the trouble of standing in a field in the freezing cold for half an hour and getting a crick in your neck from spending the same staring upwards.
How is this a fiasco. More like "accidental greatness"
Yeah, what an anti-climax after that description. I was waiting for a huge explosion.
well it may have been short ... but ... the fireworks you had were far better than the ones we had here in campbeltown
Brilliant, literally. What else to look at Dara
I've always wondered what it would look like if all the fireworks for a show went off at once. I now know.
just visualising dara's impression of the crowd
I bet everyone was like, "Wow, if that's just the start, the Grand Finale is really gonna kick ass!"
Dara sent me :)
Just paused Dana's stand up and came to see this.was not disappointed.
2019, still funny
lol. dara sent me here
lets look at the positive all the publicity for oban it even made the national news,i was there and it was a spectacular 30 second and i got home for a dram quicker than i expected
1:23 gets me every time.
to nattiechristopher my 9 year old rescued dog loves watching fireworks and never cowers under the table, since I rescued him as a pup I have always encouraged him to watch such things from indoors, so he knows that he is not going to come to any harm. We watched the re-run last night from the comfort of our home and we all enjoyed the show, well done pyro 1.
Yep. I, too, was sent here by the great Mr O'Briain.
Yeah me too, that way he emphasized about it made me quite desperate...
filmed like a true amateur
If Oban promise to do the same again next year, i promise i will come with 400 friends to watch it.
Noon ooh! We're going into hyper space!
Pretty spectacular... but I'm used to NYE Sydney. I swear they're actually trying to make us believe the Bridge has blown up...
I would love a crowd reaction video.
First part of Dara O'Briain's homework finished. Now to get to Montgomerie, super injunction.
really smart might be the way forward with firework displays and @libertyordeaf flippin brilliant post
I just paused Dara O'Brian to watch this cause he told me too
(with highland accent) THIS is how we do the fireworks in the highlands. 1 minute kaboom gives us more minutes in the pub.
As a Gael Highlander this is beyond accurate LMAO
dara o brain sent me here lol
It was the intro, body and conclusion all in a min.
Dara brought me here :-)
well at least the darkness hides the disappointment in everyone's faces as they realize #ShowsOver Folks
Dara led me here.....lol...
All fireworks shows should be this quick.
Thanks Dara, lol
Awesome.... Best advert for Oban ever... I'd never heard of it before this. I just had to look it up on Google Maps. Sounds like my kind of place. No fussing, just get on with the job.
Best fireworks show ever! Love it!
Who wants to hang around for 20-25 mins. That was much more spectacular!
Hello BBC 2'ers ;)
I think the lesson learned here: don't bother drawing it out, just let them off all at once
This is fecking epic!
dara 😂
amazing display..!! like new years eve in Sydney!
Who is Dara ? Is it Scotch for " The Lord" ? Howdy from Tennessee. I am one quarter Scotch . Praise Jesus .
Scotch is a drink. Google Dara O'Briain he's an Irish comedian he mentioned this on one of his shows.
My English buddy Jim calls Scotch people " Porridge wogs ". What does he mean ?
Well ,he likes country and western ,if thats what y`all mean . But who don`t ? What is porridge though ? I saw a picture. It looks like Bonda ,the stuff you fix houses up with.
ILikeZappa
Not very bright, are you.
AreHix I'll answer that question for him: No.
All firework displays should be like this. I don't want to spend 30 minutes in the cold watching stuff pop in the air.
Launch it all at once and have one amazing minute rather than 30 mediocre ones.
standing at petrol station when all the fireworks went off, fantastic
Spectacular grand finale to end all grand finales. I liked it.
brilliant firework display,the shorter and more spectacular the better in my opinion
"You can all go home, now."
All fireworks shows should be like that!!!
That is totally how fireworks shows ought to be.
Thanks for putting up this video. I was two minutes late!
that is not a fiasco ....that is glorious!
Thank you for this Dara O'Brien awesome show last night :D
That's better than 40 min of watching ))
I love how they all go off one after another (when not at the same time) then at the very end there's just one late one like "boom!" :L
They must be thinking, "They've splashed out this year! Ohhh.."
