„Я не шучу про мусульман по двум причинам. Во-первых, я про них *** не знаю. Во-вторых, вы тоже.“

„Хамместрит — один из экономических двигателей, которые не дают стране скиснуть. Говоря Хамместрит, я подразумеваю того газетчика на Кинг-стрит, где поляки ищут работу.“

„Только потому, что в молодости было больше секса, не значит, что жилось лучше. Это дурацкий самообман. Все меняется, взгляды меняются, ценности… Даже будучи комиком, иногда рассказываешь шутку, которая приводит к неприятностям из-за того, что сменилась мораль.“

“If we were truly created by God, then why do we still occasionally bite the insides of our own mouths?”

“Stop taking it literally—it's only the Bible, it's not gospel.”

“Right now I would take homeopaths and I'd put them in a big sack with psychics, astrologers and priests. And I'd close the top of the sack with string, and I'd hit them all with sticks. And I really wouldn't worry who got the worst of the belting with the sticks.”

“Chinese medicine, oh, Chinese medicine! "But there are billions of Chinese, Chinese medicine must be working." Here's the skinny on Chinese medicine. A hundred years ago the average life expectancy in China was 30. The life expectancy in China at the moment is 73. And it's not feckin' tiger penis that turned it around for the Chinese. Didn't do much for the tiger, if you don't mind me pointing out.”

“I said "Anyone Jewish here?" and someone goes "I'm Jewish!" and I said … "And what year is this now in the Jewish calendar?" And she goes, "Er, I wasn't expecting questions, to be honest…"—and then turned to her presumably gentile friend and had a bit of a natter—and then came back with the single finest answer I have ever heard from a member of an audience, where, without any shame at all, she just went, "Yeah, it's the Jewish Year of the Rat."”

“I'm not a religious man, right, I don't even believe in God. But still Catholic, obviously.”

“Here's my favorite little fact. If anyone is ever described to you as a nutritionist, just be slightly wary, right? What they're saying may be perfectly true, but "nutritionist" isn't a protected term. Anyone can call themselves a nutritionist. "Dietician" is the legally protected term. "Dietician" is like "dentist", and "nutritionist" is like "tooth-i-ologist.”

“Science knows it doesn't know everything; otherwise, it'd stop. But just because science doesn't know everything doesn't mean you can fill in the gaps with whatever fairy tale most appeals to you.”

“I'm sorry, 'herbal medicine', "Oh, herbal medicine's been around for thousands of years!" Indeed it has, and then we tested it all, and the stuff that worked became 'medicine'. And the rest of it is just a nice bowl of soup and some potpourri, so knock yourselves out.”

“There are three states of legality in Irish law. There is all this stuff here under "That's grand"; then it moves into "Ah, now, don't push it"; and finally to "Right! You're taking the piss."”
