Adam Hills - Talking About His Leg

Adam talking about his leg, or lack of

[@beckyboulton2362]

I couldn't stop laughing about the bit with the guy with the artificial ear sticking his head out of the car window and the Northern Engish guy saying "Your mum and dad cut your ear off as a punishment?"

[@jsmithmultimediatech]

Whats even funnier I think (not sure if this is the video) when he says rather than calling people who are disabled that, calling them mutants instead XD, creased me several times over was thinking about this a while after him saying that lol, as I am technically that pmsl. I may not look like I have a disability but do have Personal Independence Payment at the extended rate too which replaced Disability Living Allowance, the condition I have which causes me right now a whole load of problems lol, is due to a mutation of the APC gene so tadaaaahhhhh!!! I have to say when he said people with disabilities have the sickest sense of humour I do have that, I love the proper belly laughing when my belly starts aching, I'd love to have a convo with him about that I bet he'd laugh his ass off! XD!!!

[@madperson876]

I love that although he is Australian he still strengthens his accent.

[@lilmissrom]

"Does he have a run up?" - best line.

[@pickledcardigan7923]

A similar thing happen to me! I have a titanuim re-enforced spine, so I beep at airports and some of the shopping detectors at the front of shopping centres.

[@Deevo037]

Ever since I had a hip replacement that went wrong (they broke my leg during the operation) I've not only had the metal ball for the hip but a big plate in my leg. Both of those combined set the alarm off every time I go through airport security.

[@lochlanhanham8308]

How did that happen?

[@jsmithmultimediatech]

Whats even funnier I think (not sure if this is the video) when he says rather than calling people who are disabled that, calling them mutants instead XD, creased me several times over was thinking about this a while after him saying that lol, as I am technically that pmsl.

I have to say when he said people with disabilities have the sickest sense of humour I do have that, I love the proper belly laughing when my belly starts aching, I'd love to have a convo with him about that I bet he'd laugh his ass off! XD!!! On a more serious note I don't have a large bowel and can come up with the sickest jokes about all the examinations I've had done pmsl!!!

[@jsmithmultimediatech]

Seen him twice in person live in the audience and both times I've ended up in tears this was before he got behind people with various health problems though, would be far funnier now I think (not saying before he wasn't far from it haha).

[@aModernDandy]

I'm so glad I found this! When I was in Britain 3 years ago I saw him on the telly, and he took his leg off in "mock the week" but I never heared of him since, because I had forgotten his name.

[@olivialewishussey]

Love that he 'does' an aussie accent, even though he's aussie.

[@rhi1989]

That Geordie accent wasn't half bad!

[@TheTerrortot]

doesn't Adam sound like Chris Ramsey?!

[@onaseriousnote4183]

I cannot seem to "reply" so, to all those people wondering how Adam Hills lost his foot? Well, he didn't. He was born without it to my understanding. I love how the guy took the mickey and told him a croc took his ear.

[@Deevo037]

A very Australian response.

[@jsmithmultimediatech]

He walked in to a gig in Melbourne I went to (2nd time I've seen him live when he never used to mention his leg as he wanted to see if he could do standup without making jokes about his artificial foot lol) when he brought in all his former lower legs lol, his mention of what looks he got with them sticking out of the bag pmsl. Or suppose the look he could have got, purposefully I think putting footwear on some of them just for the sake of the joke lol.

[@tamatharawls637]

Always love Adam Hill's comedy. I love his humor and get almost all the jokes (and yes, the ones I don't, I research, rewatch the segment and educate myself because you're worth it.)

[@YKKY]

OK, I'm signed off at home with severe depression, haven't laughed for weeks but this had me rolling of the chair! Fantastic!

[@tashigifan]

My boyfriend has an artificial right leg and gets all that fuss at the airport. Adam Hills is right though, there is no sexy way to take a leg off. Beaches are hilarious, and people try to be overly sensitive about it. He just thinks it's funny.

[@Deevo037]

As a recent amputee I have to say if you don't make a joke about it from time to time you'll spend the rest of your life feeling sorry for yourself. I have the odd dark day but my favourite saying right now is "What's left of me is feeling great."

[@Bowmaj21]

He's a Comedian, and he's got an Artifical foot! It doesn't get any better than that!

[@kattahj]

This is brilliant. When I got to the Northern English guy going "Your mum and dad cut your ear off?" I laughed so hard my cat gave me odd looks.

[@k2477456]

Im american, I understood the joke, and I think the criticisms he makes are hilarious!

[@eileengilbey]

@Abigail Luftig I think he was referring to Tomato Sauce lol I think you guys call it Ketchup?

[@idc5309]

My first thought was he was trying to eat his artificial foot, but the shark attack joke makes wayyyy more sense

[@Naro_Rivers]

@@eileengilbey Given that he said “bottle”, I think that’s probably what he meant. In the US, “tomato sauce” typically refers to either a pasta topping or pizza sauce, and the condiment is ketchup.

[@stephentrepreneur]

Couldn't stop laughing all the way through this. Adam Hills for the Minister of Laughter!

[@creamysodarevenge]

Hahaha, that was definitely one of Adam's best acts!

[@msfyn]

Love this guy - thanks for sharing.

[@annagilda1]

This guy is a LEGEND!!!!

[@am15101989]

he is sooooo lovely!!

[@CastielGirl1991]

I love how he puts on an Aussie accent for the guy, even though he is Australian. lmfao. X

[@knucklescapricorn31]

Gosh, I love Adam Hills xD

[@sprouseter16]

omg. i can't belive i didn't find him sooner. genius!!!!!

[@HerdULeikMudkips]

I am so envious of this man's optimism.

[@wolfchasing]

Adam Hills is fucking hilarious. I want to see him live, so badly.

[@Kabloomi]

written and proformed by adam hills!. Hes excellent at proforming.

[@aqu1r3]

i love the one where he talks about going to the paralympics haha

[@livstar93]

that was bloody marvelous. laughed so hard xD

[@Capt_Sulu]

imagine the change of facial expressions from "Hi!" to "WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR FOOT?!" priceless.

[@beCrunchy]

he is brilliant

[@SpiketheHedgehog0]

Seriously: NICEST guy in Aussie television. One of the funniest too. ^_^

[@KollaaKollaa]

This is one of the first times I've actually ended up in tears from laughing. xD Fucking amazing.

[@turdl38]

Identifying myself as an American who totally gets the joke and finds Adam hilarious.

[@Tenwalkerluvr]

I'm american and I get the beach joke..... and I love this guy and I love his idea of "sexy music"

[@cookieboss904]

Why did this show up now 11 years later in my recomended.

[@LadyStarAussie]

LOOL .. omg this guy kills me mate!LOL . ahh Love em

[@lennic95]

This guy is epic!

[@mryoung1989]

This guy is hilarious! He's in Cardiff sooon I think - definately going to have to go!

[@HartyBiker]

wow thats amazing

[@enjoythestruggle]

Damn he left out the part where the guy asks him 'do you use it?' xD

[@ainerobertson78]

I think the best part of the tomato sauce joke is that it's turned into Americans immediately getting it but going ....wait that's too obvious it has to be something more convoluted than that...

[@kingkhan110790]

lol this guy is just amaazing~!!!

[@mikewazowksi7938]

idk if this is weird but i love his voice

[@colemyst]

Hey, Adam can have a job here in America any time. But no, we're not all as dense as other countries think. Hell I had to explain to a Welsh friend, that Canada isn't ours and that his visa wasn't good there. "Friends" were going to take him over the border and let him work it out with immigration on his own. Sometimes dense is imported.

[@dawgyv72]

I'm American and I totally got the tomato sauce joke, so fuck you back man! lmao love this guy he's great

[@piglatin123]

My sides hurt. From laughing. SO HARD.

[@taha32]

absolutely class, northern english guy jumps up and says ' your mum and dad cut your ear off for punishment?'

[@squeaky88]

saw him on monday at regents park n my cheeks still hurt 4rm all the laughin!

[@4aleas]

"that's amazing how did you lose the ear" "WHAT" LOL

[@MADAMEOCTA07]

hes gorgeous! oooof

[@MattBeardless]

if anyone's wondering how he lost the leg he was born with it. And tbh I do seriously believe it's produced some of his funniest jokes.

[@robk1990]

Australia has some of the world's deadliest water creatures- 4 of which are: The Bull Shark Tiger Shark Great White Shark and finally the Saltwater Crocodile The last two are well loved in Australia, and despite what many Americans might say- Saltwater Crocodile would rip an American Alligator in half and eat it for lunch!

[@Dougomite]

@ibleedpinkglitter Exactly. I spent half the video being confused as to why he thought we wouldn't get it and why the audience seemed in such agreement about it.

[@Tracymmo]

@Tracymmo You're right that we don't think of sharks nearly as much, at least not since "Jaws" was popular! Few of us live near the beach as it is. I have had plenty of confused discussions with Aussie friends in Adelaide and while living in Europe, which are even funnier when there's someone English present and we all have different words for the same thing. Some I words I've had to have defined: dag, chunder, lino, bikie, Pom, sickie, milk bar, esky, bikkie, pressie, jumper, fairy floss.

[@HippoHannah]

"hi! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR FOOT?!?!" lmao rofl brilliant =] *****

[@Missydizzychick1]

@Noontz He means have the beach to yourself as like. If you're in a concert and you're amazing, then the stage is yours. As in you own it. That's what it means.

[@reddexred]

thx for uploading...still LMAO

[@sultanofsick]

even if you didn't know that, tomato sauce is still red and the joke makes sense o.0

[@TheMiiirna]

''...windowwwww eeeeeh?'' he's the best.

[@DeederDangler]

OMG THAT WAS FUCKEN HILARIOUS

[@TyneGibbs12]

Will do :)

[@snowyalice]

Lol. So random especially the ear joke!

[@aprilblenk]

@pr0gram1st Aww! That was such a nice thing to say! Thank you and we would love you to come! From Australia :)

[@22Rocker22]

'Fuck em, learn' LMAO

[@xjillx38]

Hahaha i love this guy he's hilarious - hahaha us aussie's are the best.

[@Emerald3357]

@sunseaandparadise I love them both

[@reefrunnerart]

I reckon instead of saying he was a tennis coach, he should have said he was a surfing instructor...work that one out!

[@vermilliongecko]

Not that hard to work out, to be honest.

[@reefrunnerart]

Francesca Stout never said it was meant to be hard, heheh...just might have been funny

[@vermilliongecko]

reefrunner If it's not hard, then there's nothing to work out.

[@reefrunnerart]

Gee, chill...I'm just saying that might have been funny...who crapped in your frosties?

[@vermilliongecko]

reefrunner I *am* chilled. You just seem to be pissed off that we're not wetting ourselves laughing. Move on, dear.

[@SKA336]

omg he is so funny (and cute!! :-D )

[@mitchkurt]

funny as hell

[@oORIGINALSIMo]

They are in Australia. We don't have ketchup at all (except chain restaurants originally from the US, they use the American name for it) only tomato sauce. You might have ketchup and something else you call tomato sauce over there, we only have tomato sauce.

[@RocChickOfTheCentury]

'but fuck em, learn.' LOL.

[@lilfizz1619]

that first one is so true omg. I'm in the middle of treatment for chronic pain and I was texting my friend "hey how r u wuu2" y'know casual chit chat and I mentioned that I had just come back from the chiropractor, forgetting that i'd never actually told him that I have a condition. and he replied "oh god...…..I sense a pun coming." I laughed my ass off and told him I wasn't joking and he didn't believe me lmao. so I decided that while he was waiting for the punchline to my chiropractor joke, the joke would be that there's no punchline and no joke. we had that convo two days ago and as far as i'm aware, he's still waiting for the punchline xDD

[@ghenulo]

Der Fußweg!

[@alkahmist]

He's a fucking genius

[@rjb112010]

Yeah....... Like the other Americans, I don't get why we don't understand the tomato sauce thing... I talked to an Aussie friend about it and simply said "shark" and she explained everything to me... I'm like "er, yeah. I kind of got that........" lol

[@AupyMA]

I do, its hilarious

[@mollyjbrooke]

@sunseaandparadise So true!

[@nikkolia]

3:00 - perfect time for a terminator/iron man reference.

[@Bruceologist]

Nah, I grew up on a farm, knew a guy who was missing a toe. He'd been cutting wood and was bitten on the big toe by a big Eastern Brown, the thing just slithered away, he took off his boot, took off his socks, and just lopped off his toe. That's badass. I also have a scar all the way down my back, my brother pushed me onto a barbed wire fence. I tell people it was a drop bear. Basically, keep variation, or they'll twig that we're all lying about our "war wounds" :P

[@pirates09rock]

@confederacysoldier He does! there was an episode on mock the week where he passed it round lol

[@uiruu]

@R4NDYS4V4GE In America it still means victory. Altough it's turned the other way with the palm facing away

[@CecLangKaulitz]

@CrazyLazySnazzyJazzy I totally see your point. I agree x)

[@cMegumi1]

I love Adam Hills! even though the "fuck 'em" thing kind of hurt. :/ I won't stay stuck on it. Everything was funny! :)

[@Tracymmo]

@amber14hikari Weird thing is about his joke is that it still works for Americans who don't know the term "tomato sauce" since what we consider tomato sauce would still look like blood. Funny he picked that term when there are 1,000 other Aussie terms that we Americans don't understand!

[@emotherapys]

this was fuck hilarious!

[@Eivyll]

What is there not to know? We know that ketchup is a sauce, and we know that its made from tomatos. Though here, 'ketchup' is used as a condiment, and 'tomato sauce' is what we put on pasta.

[@tinylaughs]

the angry security guard face is priceless (:59)

[@avengedsoul6661]

Can someone explain the bit with the tomato sauce?

[@hastflickan10]

"Hey.. WHAT HAPPEND TO YOUR FOOT??!!!"

[@Djevans7]

@jameexfm Yay, someone shares my viewpoint!

[@XCILE625]

@amber14hikari I like the one when he talks about deaf people and the one when his at APPOLO

[@DanielCatt23]

"Hi... WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR FOOT!?"

[@bubblebob2]

@maysfestival112 He means that if he takes off his foot (and leaves the stump bare) and slathers it with tomato sauce (which looks like blood) people will think a shark bit his foot off, and people are gonna be freaked out and leave the beach.

[@MissSlideyy]

Americans watching won't get that joke but FUCK 'EM. LEARN. Oh Adam, how I love you.

[@Klymenthis]

Have you ever heared it somewhere else?

[@jellybun12]

He is talking about putting tomato sauce on the end of his leg to pretend that a shark had bitten off his foot while he was swimming in the water. This would scare all the people away, leaving him with the whole beach to himself.

[@SiennaElderly]

1:49 I got it.... but then again, I'm from Texas. We may as well be our own country.

[@amynlew]

i know ive seen it its well kool =]

[@amynlew]

love adam hills XDXDXD would love to see the foot properly lol

[@yehetmykkaebsong]

@tigbig90 OH YEAH ! Thanks =)

[@MadestManiac]

OMFG!
