In fairness to the guy, he was doing the Royal Variety Performance. A LOT of his material (or any stand-up comic's) is going to be off-limits. He's pretty much just picking up the best of what's left.
@Terrra91 Dont mean to bring race into it. I find most 'non englishing looking chaps' get a much more hostile reception from crowds than white comedians in the UK. If you look at black/asian comedians they will constantly bring up their race to get a laugh and loosen the crowd up a bit. Stephen K Amos is one guy that stands out in my mind that does that. He is amazingly funny and its a shame he has to do that to warm the narrow minded in the crowd up.Omid gets a Bigger reaction in the U.S i hear
to be fair a lot of the videoes i've seen are from the same period, so when he's doing things like have i got news for you and a guest slot for jack dee, he was probably promoting his tour, so had a five minute routine and a line up of jokes to show what was on the tour without giving everything away. i'm sure if he went on tour again, the jokes would be different, not for definite, but probably
@chubbylilloser85 It also seems I have been explaining deadpan quite a lot lately, in the UK this style of delivery is usually complimented with a presented stereotyped `affliction` which in itself has no ring of truth at all but it is presented as a matter of fact(irony).Its nothing to do with shedding light on any narrow mindedness. It adds a ironic narrative reason for the fact that what he is saying is funny, but he presents it as if he had no idea he was being funny.
wat the hell r u guys sayin?im iranian myself...livin in iran is so much fun...but it has its dangers...and that is why we r here...not bc of blonde girls...infact most of the guys i know prefer persian girls(99%)
@Terrra91 Thats also true yea :( Women comedians (uk at least) will go straight to the "Its hard for a woman because so and so" or "When i take a guy home to fuck i so and so" The female comedians like Joan rivers and lisa lamenelly (bad spellign but shes american) are REALLY funny and do bring up their femininity sometimes but its more in a natural way rather than falling back on it.
why is it that europeans always do the 'surfer dude' accent to represent america? after clinton and bush, i'd expect the standard american accent to shift slightly east and south...
Omid Djalili is a legend in our time. If everyone was as easy going and had the same sense of humour as Omid we would all get alongt fine.
I'm German, and "Wait. that's minus two comedians" is EXACTLY what I thought XD
Shocking crowd. Brilliant comic.
that passport control joke was excellently delivered i have to say!
I saw this guy live in Manchester. He's great.. ITS WIERD.. He is really great at ANY accent.
he was one of the best charactors on black books ,deserves worship
Wow, his accents are amazing.
I adore you omid jalili, you truly are hilarious ❤
love this guy
as an indian i have to say his indian accent is actually better than most indian comedians lol
FUNNY HOW THE CROWD CHANGED WHEN THEY HEARD HIM TALK NORMAL MMMMMM.
Always a legend
Very intelligent stand up comedian.
love this guy, hes so funny
Truly amazing.
Good gravy, it's hard to tell which is his true accent. He's phenomenal with them accents.
Woow i'm iranian tooo!
Not that you'd care but you know :D :D
Shocking Audience !!!
This guy is doing a tour early 2007! Get yourself a ticket - well worth the money!
That can be a compliment. They're not wasteful.
i am from iran as well, my parents
this guy is awesome!
damet garm!
hahaha
yes he is, he's the one that runs full pelt into the wall. i think he's in Gladiator aswell, as a trader of the "Spaniard"
WHAT A BORING CROWD AND TO STUCK IN THERE WALLETS . OMID IS GREAT.
His American accent is spot on!
I don't understand why this hasn't come up with a new routine.
nice man , lovely
was he in Gladiator? the slave dealer? :O
+enterBeastmode1 nice call
soundspur I knew it. for some reason, I recognized him right away. Funny bloke
Also in the Mummy
He's my cousin.
The mummy
I like the way you say "europeans" while Omid is in fact Iranian
this guy is really really good i really like him and his material pity the audience where half asleep tho
Love him
these are his old performances, you gotta see him live, he is funny as hell!!!
They DO know what comedy is, it's just that I don't think they're allowed to laugh out loud TOO much.
probably one of the best but needs new jokes plus i love his new show
I agree, so many comedians try to be as anti-PC as they can because of shock-factor, Djalili says it how it is, no added sugar.
so true!!
loved the last sentence :D
katt and russel-u know ur stuff -top comedians
he did almost an identical act on a royal variety show a few years ago
its the royal variety
I wish I could keep up an accent that long, funny as hell!
Watch the rest of it....
I think he is funny he's better than any american
Yes. He was putting on an accent so after he stopped he was talking normally.
good point
His son's in my class :)
ur right
LOL the nuclear family joke was great
thats why the majority of the people on his videos are his fans
Persians still have Bards who sing ancient poems, and tell local stories, etc.
Tough crowd man!!
yes he is in deed.....
he uses everything more than once
he's also in "His Clothes".
He doesn't do any new jokes.

good stuff
He looks so small on that huge stage lol :D
yh it waz quality!!!!
of course he didnt forget about jackson, this was 4 years ago when he was still alive and the subject of much mockery ;)
its mainly because he wants his jokes to be exclusive, it takes time to come up with personal and original jokes
absolutley fucking great comedian lv him
@rfahm yes he is :).
they all do...
“It’s me Yusuf Amir mah NeEGaH!”

seriously, the majority white population cant fathom there's another perspective -- and it's not all that different, and it can still be really funny!
yh i think they ask him to talk about this topics over and over again , so that people feel a bit of bonding and release any prejudice
@SachuBachu this IS his day job!
to be fair a lot of the videoes i've seen are from the same period, so when he's doing things like have i got news for you and a guest slot for jack dee, he was probably promoting his tour, so had a five minute routine and a line up of jokes to show what was on the tour without giving everything away. i'm sure if he went on tour again, the jokes would be different, not for definite, but probably
go to 4:19 and wait 11 seconds for them to get the joke.
Where is the 2008 performance of Omid Djalili?? I saw it once, and I cannot find it again!!
It was 5 years after 911, the audience were nervous 👍
is it me or do they laugh louder after hes dropped the accent
this guy looks exactly like DJ Khalid
who were the three woman at the start of the clip?

heh??...he was born in Chelsea...some ppl tisk tisk. He has brown skin but he can come from Britain to...just so you know as some people get confused.
@SachuBachu Yep
where was that?
i saw him on broadway as fagan in oliver
In Oz....we used to go...rabbit bashing....rabbit fer dinner
...underground mutton
Its the same stuff but its still funny. Also this crowd was a bit off, same as the HBO crowd i saw.
In the presence of Diana, during the 2006 RVP? -.-
its been years watching him perform and i still dont know which is his real accent god damn it
wat the hell r u guys sayin?im iranian myself...livin in iran is so much fun...but it has its dangers...and that is why we r here...not bc of blonde girls...infact most of the guys i know prefer persian girls(99%)
If your referring to the "Passport controll" joke, I would say that was more of a New York accent to be honest.
I see what your saying though.
I'd rather have the BMW from Germany

2006
hes changed
hes great especially in black books XD lmfao!
Agreed =/
i hate it when comedians repeat there acts, i know its rly hard to come up with new stuff, and they are on demand a lot, but its just awkward to see
52 people are German Mathematicians.
LMAO! wheres your bag? I left it on the bus, Well done house point! ahaha
alot of comedians do .........
omid djalili ... too fucking funny
he's doing jokes that he was doing 4 or 5 years ago!
what about maz jobrani
why is it that europeans always do the 'surfer dude' accent to represent america? after clinton and bush, i'd expect the standard american accent to shift slightly east and south...
"The country of Islamia" hahaha!
