Dara O’Briain provides a masterclass in dealing with internet trolls

Carl Kinsella

Anyone who works on the internet will tell you that the worst part of the job is, invariably, the trolls.

You know the type. Refuse to use their real names, often have a car as their display picture and are unrelentingly and unjustifiably abusive.

Well, it should be no surprise that a funny-man like Dara O’Briain is one of the best equipped amongst us to handle the haters, as he proved last night on Twitter.

Somebody had a go at O’Briain over his involvement in the new Robot Wars series, and Dara went and showed him that if you come at the king, you best not miss.

The sickest of burns. Goodnight, sir. The original offender tried to calm things down and play it off, but Dara O’Brian simply buried him further.

Game over.
