Comedian perfectly re-enacts slow motion goal celebrations

A comedian has recreated a typical slow motion football goal celebration in real time.
Karl Porter nonchalantly launches into the celebration during his set at Up The Creek in London's Greenwich area.
Many commenters online were so convinced by the act that they did not believe it was actually Porter pretending to celebrate in slow motion.

@Ryan-og4zf the term acting is a descriptive word. The term actor is a profession. For example just because I was sprinting yesterday.. it does not make me a sprinter. Just because I was acting when doing an impression, that doesn't make me an actor.. its pretty simple mate

[@miketike3246]

The thing that a lot of people don't realize about this, is that he's not ever moving his legs or feet in any kind of running motion. It's all the waist up which makes it even more insane how accurate it is. Plus the eyes following the ball into the goal is next level talent.

[@YesOkayButWhy]

Comedy is like food, there's hundreds of kinds. If you don't appreciate this then Bernard Manning is still on KZbin.

[@richardmullens4707]

@@YesOkayButWhy Just to say, my favourite comedian is Tim Vine, I'm very much a pun enthusiast. But I also like Jimmy Carr too. However I don't see what's funny in slow motion mime. If he did a slow motion mime of using a self service till in Tesco, would that be funny? If not, why is doing a footballer celebrating funny? The more comedians who are cancelled because of their real life views, not their actual comedy acts, means lower hanging fruit like this has to fill the slots.

[@aaoooaaa2]

This is amazingly funny. Didn't expect it to be so accurate

[@stephencarmickle]

I would watch him just moving around in slow motion for his whole set.

He just needs an Oscar for that, because I don't think I've never seen this high level of acting before.
