[QUOTE=BrickInHead;27116779]How the fuck can you post a Tim Minchin thread without posting some of his greatest shit?[/QUOTE] Yeah unfortunately I haven't seen that much of him yet, but I do plan to see him some more.

I love Tim. Hopefully seeing him in March with the Adelaide Symphony. Should be awesome. Favourite songs are If You Really Loved Me, Inflatable You, White Wine In The Sun, Nothing Can Stop Us Now, You Grew On Me, and If You Open Your Mind Too Much Your Brain Will Fall Out (Take My Wife!) His beat poems are fucking fantastic aswell. Mitsubishi Colt, Storm and Angry (Feet) are some of my favourite things by him. [QUOTE=Clunj;27123207]Probably best to keep the British comedians away from other nations.[/QUOTE] He's Australian. And awesome. Also, most British comedy kicks American comedy's arse any day.

[QUOTE=Skellyhell;27123004]He needs to sort his hair out and stop wearing eyeliner.[/QUOTE] He does it because when he's playing the piano, he can only use his eyes to emote. I bought his new album, and it's fantastic. "Context" is brilliant.
[QUOTE=Skellyhell;27123004]He needs to sort his hair out and stop wearing eyeliner.[/QUOTE] the reason he wears eyeliner is because while most singers have body movements to aid them in their acts, as do comedians - his are restrained to the piano. he uses it to emphasize facial movements. the hair? god knows what the fuck that's about [editline]1st January 2011[/editline] and honestly i've watched a bit of this bill bailey chap because people have mentioned him in this thread and I really don't find him very funny. in his #1 video on yt I laughed at ONE joke; the one about belarus. everything else was extremely meh, and he absolutely tries too hard. watched his love song about loneliness, love, and loss, too, and really...not great. yeah he's okay, but I don't think he's got shit on Minchin at all. Minchin is a better singer, comedian, and from what I can tell, musician.
He has wild hair (and doesn't wear shoes on stage) because he feels like it separates him from others, allowing him to say outrageous things without possibly offending someone.
[QUOTE=Funktastic Dog;27112952]His humour is unnecessarily littered with swearing, and is needlessly controversial. Also he looks like the infamous youtube idiot Shane Dawson. Disagree x 12[/QUOTE] If your disagreeing with me on the humor point, I'm okay with that, however: [img]http://images2.fanpop.com/images/photos/6900000/shane-dawson-s-HAWT-shane-dawson-6969153-480-359.jpg[/img] + [img]http://www.imagementors.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/russellbrand_897_18188102_0_0_12656_300.jpg[/img] = [img]http://img.metro.co.uk/i/pix/2008/10/TimMinchin151008_450x381.jpg[/img] Also, those images do not look like images of heterosexual people.

[editline]1st January 2011[/editline] honestly his face is significantly wider and his jaw is less angular [editline]1st January 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Ryz0;27123325]That song nearly made me shed a manly tear :blush:[/QUOTE] actually did make me tear up first time i listened to it

[QUOTE=Funktastic Dog;27131274]Also, those images do not look like images of heterosexual people.[/QUOTE] Because this matters, right?

Tim Minichin proply the funnist looking guy iv seen
Holy shit those eyes.
[QUOTE=HumorOfaDeadGuy;27528076]Tim Minichin proply the funnist looking guy iv seen[/QUOTE] You should probably leave your house now and again. On topic. Tim Minchin is a legend. His Christmas song, as controversial and inflammatory as it proved to be, is still probably the most perfect representation of the holiday as it is now than anything I've ever heard. Rock 'n' Roll Nerd is fantastic too
What the hell guys you're missing some of his best songs [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcdtVD8X1-A[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVN_0qvuhhw[/media]
