Benny and Tim Minchin Piano Duel | The Axis of Awesome

[@zpy121596]

my two favorite pianists both playing on the same piano at the same time... my life is complete.

[@Schontaylor]

Wonderful! A combo of axis Benny and minchin ! Made my day.

[@douglaslawrie3449]

right at the end: Tim: oh no... Benny: i don't know the words Tim: yeah me neither

[@briandoig4488]

I never tire of watching... or listening to this! Two geniuses.

[@fendroca]

I still come back from time to time to watch this amazing performance xD

[@kathyjaneburke2798]

Tim & Benny! I finally found you together!

[@vickykennie5760]

Genuinely the funniest night of my life! So glad I got to witness this!

[@MrMysteryPenguin]

Such a great song and really fun combo. They should do more together!!

[@Kimarius2die4]

This is the meaning of life

[@katharinad.8455]

it's unbelievable how perfect they are playing this instrument! It's just like they ARE the keyboard.

[@JacobIsCraig]

they are playing Tims song "The pope song" In case anyone was wondering what they were playing

[@howinteresting8268]

I absolutely love Tim!

[@lilpeif]

Both of you rock hard. You give me hope for the future. Not everyone raises their young to be stupid. Thank you both so fucking much!

[@JasperTanimation]

This is like, the ultimate Aussie pianist duo.

[@thatwhoviangirl]

Both of them are so talented

[@RennieMonster]

I live in this country..... I was at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2010..... HOW DID I MISS THIS?!?! D:

[@paulnunes3215]

QUIET DOWN IN FRONT.

[@MorganandWest]

We remember being in the front row for this, it was awesome! Good work on putting it up!

[@GuitaringEgg]

I have a feeling I will need to see the Axis of Awesome this year at the Fringe. Just too awesome.

[@WhidMARKIi]

AW OMG WHERES THE REST :(

[@Raicuparta]

This is the video that got me into Tim Minchin, thank you :)

[@helenwhite6071]

Two of the greatest pianists ever!

[@georgemlewis2]

I would have loved to been there

[@rockandrollnerd]

Ahahaha.... "I don't know the words..." "oh yeah... me neither"

[@Aldo636]

So awesome!

[@insaenband]

So THIS I how you write a love song?

[@raoatv]

Now if we could just get these 2 to have a baby.......World Peace Instantly!

[@cysioland]

I don't see any dueling in that, it's more like a lousy, yet brilliant collab.

[@leandrotoniut1619]

All through the beginning of the song Minchin was trolling Benny as well as showing off (Switching hands without warning and looking away from the keyboard)

[@gibsondanny]

Dueling in a musical context doesn't actually imply competition, or anything like that.

[@northernanorak]

@@leandrotoniut1619 but that look Benny gives Tim as he sits down and proceeds to play the main part arguably better than Tim was is pretty special

[@mighty_claw]

if you were at the gig you'd still hear everything fine. it's the camera's mic picking up the cheering over the music.

[@emilyflotilla931]

Me thinks some do protest too much! 😉😉😉

[@P4r4dox1986]

Benny, Tim Minchin and Bill Bailey in one room with a massive fucking piano!!!!!!

[@ElderUnikirin]

So good. Reminiscent of Tim's piano duet with Eddie Perfect on the Laughapalooza DVD :)

[@MaliciousSlug]

For some reason, I got a "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" flashback from this video.

[@nathanm2646]

Scarabic Jones your drugs are so much better than mine.... :(

[@MaliciousSlug]

Sonic TheStonedHog well, cuz the piano-part in the bar? In the movie?

[@YamahaCruiser0]

Dang it, nw that song is stuck in my head...

[@coreybennett9020]

Tim is AWESOME

[@spartanatreyu]

So hope i get to see tim perfrom this in 2 months

[@RACERDALEJR88]

That is true

[@irenicus9]

Talent right there

[@Sanitoeter666]

I think we can agree that Tim is twenty times more amazing on the piano. Still they are really awesome together.

[@IsiahTomas]

If only that piano was longer...

[@unholyXromance]

OH MY FUCKING GOD!!! TIM MINCHIN AND BENNY DAVIS TOGETHER...HOLY SHIT!

[@Grovyle9TheSpycrab]

My life is complete.

[@Achedb0b1]

oh gggod this is amazing.

[@kickyous123]

There is a reason you are called axis of AWESOME!!!! COME TO CANADA!

[@swardist]

Oh. My. God. YES.

[@Vancha7]

Fucking amazing! Also even KZbin loves these guys it shows this by not even showing the 4 dislikes on the rating bar :D Tim is such a show off. I love him

[@brenton9615]

Wish I was there D:

[@EFT4MeDebi]

Now that is ...'TALENT TIMES TWO"

[@RACERDALEJR88]

Like CoothaDrifter just said, any Tim Minchin fan knows that chord progression

[@RichardFarnsworth1961]

As I reckon it, it's I-V7-I-IV-iv-I-VI7-II-V7-I The slightly unusual bits are the IV-iv and the VI7-II-V7

[@Tagl.]

The Dynamic Duo! ^o^

[@OhHeBustin]

No

[@katess9055]

Tag! I

[@spartanatreyu]

nice work benny

[@Doctoranthetardis]

There's too much awesome on one piano!!!

[@makingnoises2327]

@djbiggyb i agree many times over

[@nichharp]

was this improvised?

[@JoeMartinMusic]

Hehehe, brilliant, where are the other two?

[@DTDplays]

And this how you play the keyboard!!! :D

[@Sheldon.Williams]

SOO MUCHH SCREAMINGGGG AAAGGGHH.. can't hear shit :\

[@Neverwishy]

oh my fucking god you guys got to meet tim minchin

[@Holyniwa]

and two feet?

[@Stitchbaby102]

OMG YAY

[@Shakes-Off-Fear]

Come on, every Tim Minchin fan knows that progression

[@Shakes-Off-Fear]

Why is this chord progression so familiar?

[@lmfcanada]

blame the guy who wrote the comment, not the 313 who thumbsed it up? ... please allow me a moment while I play you the worlds smallest violin

[@PwnageGravy]

@coldglorry Search for it, it exists and it's hilarious.

[@samquilter8300]

When I saw the name of this song I shat. Twice.

[@mortschubert3909]

Is your church better, you're saying?

[@Zinkx.]

lmaooo "better" this song just happens to go after the catholics *this* time! There are other songs and other days for the rest of the religions

[@TheEquinox100]

I read that simply as "Tim: The Universe"

[@FengshenNL]

I thought English was your secondary language?

[@BelowAboveAverage]

Damn... two reasons I live in the wrong country together on the same stage.

[@alejandrovasquez-gagliardi9477]

Fuck that was Awesome

[@xXmatthdXx]

#colab

[@longtallemm]

'I don't know the words' 'no, neither do I' :D

[@ellafay2012]

sorry, but I don't get the bit when the puppets come on!!??? what did tim say? and why is it funny?

[@tomtom21194]

Victor Borge esq, nice!

[@chewygoodness0]

I think I have discovered my theme song lol

[@LiTTleKiNg009]

Make that 6 :)

[@CyclopsWasRight616]

I'm not saying this isn't really cool, but those people are totally losing their shit when two guys famous for being really good at the piano are really good at the piano.

[@eden1588]

GEZUZ !

[@Genderkaiser]

Whoops, I think, at the end there, but hey! Can't be perfect all the time.

[@wingnutO1]

Incorrect, English is our second language, You just had the two back to front, no harm done, us Aussies are pretty laid back.... Now don't fucking forget! :P

[@ElderUnikirin]

@ProfessorPooglet ...but with more muppets, and less hair-biting.

[@dunzy1996]

They could only put Benny on the stage because if they'd all been on there with Tim the universe would have collapsed under the extreme awesome.

[@UkuleleAversion]

Personally, I think that Tim won that "piano duel".

[@Vancha7]

@PJW1269 It's funny çause I bet only a few people know what you just said ;P

[@Mikhanius]

Still better love story than twilight ^.^

[@sme7198]

*an Australian ;) Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi Oi Oi!

[@DavidMcBrien]

Overstimulating, Make it a room with a piano that likes them in a platonic way, but still willing to let them play with her.

[@The41550]

still a better love story than twilight.

[@PJW1269]

Bit difficult to keep up with Minchin--what a virtuoso!

[@BojanglesCanada]

@livebenrules2 you souldn't compare their talents.

[@footballrepertoire]

holy crap so funny

[@MrCar651]

Nice one...why the fuck don't you have more thumbs up then him?

[@CaijunPawnStars]

Not to sound gay but. I love you tim

[@GregBrownsWorldORacing]

Parry, you sound like an absolute rump ranger!

[@MrNickeh]

Tim doesn't seem to put as much energy in his singing as usual here D: .

[@steadfast1984]

that is a lawl

[@bubble992]

too much talent in one video! though i find it mildly disturbing how tim looks at benny intently when he says 'motherfuckers fucking boys'...

[@Gohan3323]

well thats tim minchin for you

[@Jimmer93]

That was going so well until FFFFFFFFFF.....

[@mikeandrewp]

What's that shit you were saying about Victor Borge, Tim? Borrowed a skit, perhaps? xD

[@93tiny08]

Tim Pwns.

[@agentgreenland]

This is like South Park on Speed
