Officially the world’s worst comedian.

And officially the world’s worst comedy routine…

I may have shown you the horrors of Daniel Songer before. Well, I apologies, because here’s another slice of Songer for you…

So many why’s…

1) Why is he dressed as a 9 year old boy?
2) Why does he sing ‘Happy Birthday’ like that?
3) Why – sorry – where is he physically standing?
4) Why is he ALWAYS shouting?
5) Why does he do that ‘Name’ song?
6) Why, why, why? Etc…

Please send me your why’s. I’m sure you’ll have loads.

Props to Dougg Lussenhop for this internettal horror.

    He's like a three-way cross between Kevin James and John Madden and someone else with no sense of humor.
  • Princess Margaret
    Mr. Popper, you deserve an award. i am addicted to your site and cannot believe that someone actually finds worse videos than i find.

    btwwwdd---my dad would kick this guy's ass before making him change those shorts.
  • Pleasure...
  • Drdonelittle
    I just came in my pants. But it was blood.
  • gabecunningham
    He has quite clearly been left on Endor by a breakaway imperial faction, performing to a tied up family of ewoks from their veranda.
  • Jess
    I have suddenly found out that this is JUST a rehearsal for his show, isn't it?
    and if he IS planning to do this LIVE...God bless people in the first row at 3:50. :s
  • Hamish
    Awesome. This is why cocaine ought to be legalised.
  • james
    thank you robert, i cant breathe he is so good! "hey guys" *fingers through hair* hahaha
  • wowser808
    Why does he slowly do the conga during his routine?
  • This is like when an over-excited small child is with some adults who are telling each other jokes, and then the child announces that he's got a joke and starts to tell it, except that he hasn't, so he just makes stuff up, and everyone goes "Aahh". Just like that, except with a large man, no grown-ups, and over a very drawn-out period of time.
  • Why does he do that little spin about 3 minutes in?
    Why does he keep insisting on saying 'first name and last name'?
    When is he performing love in London!
  • Dirk
    1)His 'metal' age
    2)It takes training
    3)I don't know but I want it to collapse in an 'ilarious hugebigframe incident.
    4)So many Americans are hard of hearing, it is second nature
    5)Because it rhymes with nasty shame, man!
    6)Delilah?
    7)Because they actually are deaf?
  • barelyshocking
    Too awkward to even laugh.

    Why does he insist on thrusting his pelvis like that?
    Who is holding the camera?
  • AlexHolland
    This man could be the cleverest comedian ever
  • MrPhilBeswick
    Why is using the bit of the set that Ant and Dec do not go to on I'm a Celebrity!
  • Most excellent...
  • Larry Hastings
    This guy is dull, but lacks the breathtaking incompetence of Darrell Bluett.

  • Nice find!
  • Joshua
    Hey, guys, you know how you go out to a public pool and the lifeguards all all gorgous girls - oh, wait, girls? rrrrrriiiiightttttttt… WWDD - my new philosopy is to just do the opposite of that…
  • Why does he keep grooming his hair when there is clearly not enough of it to need grooming?
    Why does he do those troubling little squat thrusts?
    Why does he think singing WWDD will make me believe that I can make WW and DD rhyme?

    Also, can ANY comedy routine posted in thirty-nine parts ever be more than ominously orwellian?
  • Wow - I bet no one else will use the word Orwellian when describing this. Very good work. I like!
  • He's almost as funny as Chris Moyles
  • stuckinchair
    His family have built him a tree top enclosure. good move. maybe now they could hermetically seal it and do us all a favour.
  • pond
    unbearable
  • It's the "Hey Guys..." that gets me. Also just discovered the 39 other parts to his routine.... dear god...
  • hamletsweeney
    Holy jeebus. Please, please, pleeeese tell me this isn't ironic?!
  • lucy
    Why are my ears AND eyes bleeding simultaneously?
  • Officially the world’s worst comedian.
  • 1) He thinks he is Michael Jackson
    2) He has a throat disorder
    3) He is standing on an invisible running machine
    4) He thinks his audience can't hear him, whereas actually they're trying to ignore him
    5) Alien entities from Saturn beamed the song directly into his head
    6) I don't know. Youtube gave up on loading the video after 5:19, it had obviously had enough of him
    7) He doesn't have any neighbours, you can clearly see he lives in the woods on his own.
  • Chris
    Why do people say still say "It's all at matter of self confidence -if you think you can do it, then you will succeed." Because this guy has self confidence coming out of his ears. And he is bollox.
  • Macron 1
    1) Why do his shorts have 'turn ups' ?
    2) Why does he squat to sing/bellow ?
    3) Why does the cameraman/woman react with absolute silence to the 'comedy' ?
    4) Why did I laugh at the lifeguard 'joke' ?
  • tobystevens
    I assumed he'd set the camera up on his own, but NO. SOMEONE IS FILMING IT. Why did they not tell him?
  • "Hey Guys!"
    "What? ........ SHUT THE FUCK UP and put your legs together.
  • turns out it was her sister who was julie, hilarious!
  • Wow, usually they don't allow belts and shoelaces in an asylum.
  • John
    Christ. That just gave me a headache. And massive rage.
  • grahamoliver
    The worst ever audition for I'm A Celebrity presenter .. don't call us!!
  • 5) It's a parody of the already awful song "What Have They Done To My Brain".
  • I'm glad he keeps brushing his invisible fringe from in front of his face, it was really distracting.
  • That....was....horrible. It was like watching a man before a firing squad who will only let him live if he entertains them constantly. What was with the singing? And the skin tight hotpants?!
  • WWDD ?
  • neilcubley
    I like his decking. It appears to be robust too as I would estimate his weight as 'large'.
  • Why is he actually mathematically possible?
  • my god he's crap
  • tetongo
    for some reason I can smell him through the screen
  • karmas_kitty
    why was he ever allowed to make a part 2 ~ let alone a part 31 ~ before being restrained and returned to the asylum?
  • FrankBruno
    Why has the person filming agreed to do so 30 times?
  • tommerlinford
    Why does he look like a thumb?
  • Kempy
    Holy mother of Jesus! Why cant I stop watching!
  • I'm wishing I hadn't discovered the 49 videos on his youtube channel. Strangely compelling whilst simultaneously being unbearably bad.
  • Why didn't he go to the toilet before recording this?
  • Rory
    The beginning of part 28 is a killer one-liner.
  • Hey Guys!

    He clearly has someone filming him. Why are they allowing this to continue?
  • Because they are clearly being held hostage in his comedy jungle lair!
  • elmoschmoo
    This clip of Mr Songer made me make a little Man Wee: http://www.youtube.com/user/danpoetman#p/a/f/0/...
  • Lino
    In fairness, he has come a long way since the first video.. Well, all the way from the front door to the porch.. Don't know why he dropped the artistic dancing though, that was a winner for me..

  • trevorpyne
    Oh dear. Oh dear me. Why has nobody told him?
  • iain
    why is he on the set of 'celebrity get me out of here'?
  • harris_jon
    this is why we should ban the internet
  • bravenewmalden
    I suppose you had to be there. By 'there', I mean anywhere but where this man is.
  • NamesInSpace
    so many answers, so little time to waste
  • Good Lord. Can imagine his double-act with Brian Blessed.
  • Oh god, it's part 31.
  • Joellifer
    Why did I waster 5 minutes and 46 seconds of my life watching him?

    Also...why do my more primitive instincts show themselves? It would have been far funnier if the platform collapsed while he was gyrating and bouncing all over it.
  • Why does he keep squatting down? It makes me afraid that the seams of his shorts will give out.
  • God help us all!
  • jaytaylor
    WWDD

    Why would Dan do.
  • I spent the whole time hoping he'd suddenly be kidnapped by monkeys.
  • simjaha
    I've laughed more at traffic accidents.
  • joelslacksmith
    1) Why does the policeman sing just like him?
    2) Why does this make me laugh so much more than most standup comedy?
    3) Why is he doing standup in the middle of a rainforest?
    4) Why does Dan do what Dan does?
  • jeej
    This is also the guy from the infamous "8 Octaves On The Piano" video, although he seems to have removed that video now, which is a shame, because it was... interesting.
  • Meniscus
    The payoff to the lifeguard joke at 3.00 is a zinger - he even waits for a non-existent audience reaction.

    "What Would Dan Do?" was just confusing - the dance, the lack of any direction

    Am I the only person who feels he should have been performing some DIY skills during his routine?
