FIRST TIME REACTING TO TIM MINCHIN "STORM!! A beat poem" REACTION

[@Vazik05]

"Can he keep our attention for 9 minutes?" Yes. Yes he can.

[@coreyms]

If you want to hear really insightful and in-depth lyrics, I’d suggest doing his Pope song

[@008rane]

I’d go with either Come Home, Cardinal Pell or White Wine in the Sun

[@Bassalicious]

HA! Yes that's a truly lyrical one. Complicated words too.

[@immaseahorse24]

Yes

[@piperbird7193]

@@008rane I can't do White Wine in the Sun. I cry EVERY time.

[@jeremykothe2847]

It's complicated words though.

[@ol48spring]

Hell yeah, dude says “can this guy keep us interested for 9 min?” Oh damn this guys got bars! Love it 🖤

[@toddellner5283]

My wife has been a poet for about 25 years, especially spoken word. She keeps going back to this poem.

[@peterdubois65]

Funny songs, serious songs, poetry, stand-up, acting(tv, film and stage) in the last twenty years I have yet to find anything by Tim that isn't amazing

[@jackwhitbread4583]

Everything this man touches is gold, the Broadway musicals, his hit TV show Upright which he both stars on and co writes, the comedy, the heartbreaking songs, the poetry. I haven't witnessed one bad thing that Tim's name has been associated with, he even donates large portions of his salary to local charities when he's on tour. Great guy and a hell of an artist.

[@MrGonzonator]

Look up his motivational graduation speech. There is no kind of writing this man does not excel and entertain in.

[@peterdubois65]

@MrGonzonator seen everything he's done so far except for his unfunny show but got my tickets for Melbourne in October

[@MarijnvdSterre]

Can he keep us on our toes for nine minutes? Well, yes I think he can :D I always want more Tim Minchin ^^ Some suggestions: Dark Side (The man is plainly a genius on the piano) kzbin.info/www/bejne/aam0nn2Vq917eJY The Pope Song (Beware the complicated words) kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnOcZmumrdaooJI Lullaby (sweet song made for his child) kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4SpcoGwj7mXj68 Thank you God (May be the pettiest song ever, but so awesome. Has a little story as introduction) kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4vIiIOJmNOiotE There are more, but these are some of my favorites

[@jemxs]

All of the above ⬆️

[@vCoralSandsv]

Always

[@Bassalicious]

I approve of this list and would like to propose an addition: Inflatable You (A love song that makes you laugh with a brilliant piano solo and stage act) kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2fVkomwp8ekqK8

[@Cory_Springer]

And of course, "Cont".

[@nacoran]

One of the great things about Minchin's performance... the way he plays with that glass of wine, they way he starts to lift it but then goes back into verse is so perfect...

[@piperbird7193]

And even though he doesn't actually drink, his voice begins to slur more each missed sip as he becomes 'drunk' at his dinner party. It's so well done.

[@elbruces]

He also has a song called the "Three Minute Song" that always lasts 3 minutes and zero seconds whenever he performs it. He puts a digital timer up and everything.

[@somersetcace1]

His rhythmic meter in this and the whole lyrical scheme is absolutely amazing. Love or hate the content of it, the masterful way it was written and performed is pretty damned impressive imo.

[@Alex.The.Lionnnnn]

Love your commentary. Love the very knowledgeable insights. Made me see a few things I haven't noticed. Awesome shit bruv. Love from Aus, mate.

[@AP-gb3eh]

Beat poetry has been around since the 1950s very common around the Jazz scene. Minchin is a stellar musician as well as a lyricist. Nice catch about the music .

[@figurehead242]

Tim Minchin have so many classics under his belt. But 'Thank you God' is one of my favourites. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4vIiIOJmNOiotE

[@TheDylls]

Canadian here! Not many things can "outshine" your entire first trip to NYC... But my wife and I travelling down to catch Tim Minchin live in 2012 certainly did it! 😅❤

[@lamplightimage2929]

It's really tickling me pink that you're reacting to Tim Minchin hahaha

[@emcsquared8681]

Thank you god is a must hear from Tim.

[@jasons2851]

I love Tim Minchin. Fan for a long time.

[@FiveAcross]

I'd recommend checking out Thank You God by Tim, Dark Side (awesome version), Rock N Roll Nerd, Confessions, If I Didn't Have You, Lullaby .... that's a good start :D

[@Dr_KAP]

What a brilliant reaction you’re really tuned in to the nuances of Tim’s genius. One of the advantages of our Aussie accent is we can make “favour” rhyme with Australia because we drop our “r” at the end of words 😂

[@mikefetterman6782]

This is the kind of poetry found in cities in the 1950s. This is the type of word that caused the Beatles to drop their black leather jackets and slicked back hair for the mod classics jacket or turtleneck and French hair cut. True Jack Kerouac style beat poetry.

[@jemxs]

Great reaction, one of my favourite of Tim's. There's a few videos of this and he is always word for word perfect in his delivery. That alone amazes me.

[@neilt6480]

And the timing. The backing music is pre-recorded, and he matches it exactly in every performance. That just stuns me. I have no idea how anyone can do that time after time (excuse the pun).

Tim Minchin is a brilliant musician, comedian and author. He's managed to combine comedy and music together in a way that not only makes you listen, but keep you wanting more. Bill Bailey and Bo Burnham do the same, but on a different level with their music and comedy. Whereas Minchin plays around with different forms of music as well (beat poetry, rock songs, ballads, pop songs), all while tackling everything from religion to prejudice to environmental issues.

[@jennklein1917]

This man really is a genius 🎉. Love from Australia 😂

[@chuckriley3711]

I missed your other reaction to Tim Minchin, but lately "If I didn't have you" has crossed my path.

[@theresabashford1726]

Tim is brilliant, played Judus on a Jesus Christ Superstar tour, written a stage musical for the kids book Matilda. Plus great comedian have been watching Tim for nearly 20 years, introduced by my son and daughter who first saw him at a small gig in Maidstone Kent at the beginning of his career and could buy dvds after the show.

[@redcat8328]

Yeah, he's saying it like an artist. Recognize!

[@chriskuhn6130]

I've loved Tim since 2009 or so. Truly one of the most brilliant comedic lyricists in our lifetime. Love the videos you've done with his songs (just found em). If you make more I'll be watching.

[@davejensen7922]

Tim is a musical genius and a funny bugger too

[@bareakon]

I've recited this poem a few times, and I think what really helps get it over, is even if you disagree with it, you can admire the lyrical skills and sentimental points towards the end, and can always interpret it as a slightly shitty arrogant dude getting steadily more drunk and angry and ruining a dinner party. Or, if you're me, and do you agree with the points raised, you can interpret it as a slightly shitty arrogant dude spitting facts, whilst getting steadily more drunk and angry and ruining a dinner party.

[@MrJojomylove]

I just went ahead and subscribed because I am enjoying your videos. ❤🎉❤🎉❤

[@222damien]

the pope song is amazing

[@weaponizedanonymity4624]

Hate to tell anyone this is experience poetry. I have experienced this and wish I could have put it into poetry. I dated Storm sadly, and don't date crazy.

[@Kangamoos]

I loved your reaction to this one and also the Ginger song. I enjoy that Tim always has so much to say, even though I've heard Storm a dozen times, I feel like I hear something new I missed on a previous listening.

[@jamesmoore6424]

As a middle aged white guy, you will be pleased to know I love this stuff. I too listen to it in my lounge.😅

[@AlgernontheWizard]

Honestly this is one of my favorite pieces

[@dianeemanuel8541]

Best reaction!!!!❤

[@VampyreVladimira]

Personally, one of my favorite songs by Tim Minchin is You Grew on Me. I also really love Thank you God. Also, The Pope Song is great, but even though it's a happy song, it's got a lot of complicated words, so be careful with that one. But they're all amazingly great songs.

[@gaara98250]

I would have glossed over this because of the style, even though I love Tim's skits, but you made it fun and pointed out stuff I didn't notice. Like I'm listening with a buddy, good vibe man!

[@cyberoptic5757]

Thank you

[@Unbreakable1986]

You absolutely must see the animated short film version that he made, perfect

[@redcat8328]

You a homie bruvvah.

[@sharkb0078]

Wow, amazing

[@jakesurname1086]

I love that you're getting into Tim, there's so many good ones but i'd suggest 'Thank you God'. /watch?v=IZeWPScnolo&ab_channel=TimMinchin

[@j3mixa]

Great reaction! Your face is so expressive that it really makes this a reaction ❤. Looking forward to more Tim Minchin as he is one of my favourite comedians. One of my favourites is a comedy love song "If I didn't have you" kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJ-ZmIloqMmfaZo . I like the religious material too, like "Thank you God" and "The Pope song".

[@sapphoculloden5215]

Another spoken word piece of Tim's is Mitsubishi Colt. And, whatever you think it's going to be about, you're probably wrong. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYmnlWuqp9N-ars

[@thembill8246]

Some of Tim's best material is less funny. It's always clever, but he understands emotion as well as logic and comedy. He's so good.

[@stvbrsn]

You’d probably like fellow Aussie, Courtney Barnett. Not a comedy musician, but she has a similar flow to her lyrics.

[@BrickNewton]

If you like a more punk sound... Amyl and the sniffers. The lead singer is awesome, she's a little ball of energy

[@rhonmart1]

Would prefer your picture in the small box and Tim’s on the main screen. Can’t even see him

[@redcat8328]

Inside rhymes.

[@pmR32red]

👍

[@tomfinn739]

I do reactions to reactions. :) Why "mugetsu" over the video? A good part of this is his performance. OK, I'm not watching for him; I'm watching for you. Obscuring him is a valid choice. You mentioned the music but you didn't mention him. The almost-sips from the wine; the looks at the wife; the whole thing is a master-class performance. And yeah, it's only lightly comedy. All of his comedy I've seen has had the flavor of thought; this is thought with the flavor of comedy. I'll be looking at more of your videos. :) Also, I'd be interested in a reaction to this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fobKqIBngN5laJo

[@HaveMonkeyWillDance]

you went on your phone. Was that to suck up a bit of the black spoken poetry you mention (an example would be fascinating, I love that stuff), or just because you don't care enough to engage properly? Otherwise, kudos, man. You rock.

[@u8myshorts]

some one is wrong in this story.

[@ctopd6621]

bruh is that Bleach?

[@rickrick2810]

It would be nice to see this and not just listen to it, it's real easy to move you sticker to a different place.

[@glenod]

look it up yourself. its more likely done to avoid copyright strikes from youtube.

[@fairydonuts6552]

Couldn't see Tim because of the gif you have on screen? It is right over him so didn't bother watching your video.

[@MugnifyRTS]

Thats the only way I could post it

[@Really658]

Sorry i like his other stuff better.

[@NdxtremePro]

Ironically, this is the opposite of critical thinking. He is a fantastic storyteller, however.

[@kellymaher3355]

Word....critical thinking!!!❤

[@jackwhitbread4583]

Youve had some great Tim Minchin recommendations which are all great but i would love to see a reaction to something a little more obscure. Tim did a song for a movie soundtrack a few years ago (he also stars in the movie). The movie is Two Fists One Heart and rhe song is Drowned, its such a beautiful song and doesnt get any credit.
