Irving is like a Terry Pratchett character, come to life.

[@HansHammertime]

Exactly my thoughts. He fits right into the unseen university

[@vjc2270]

You nailed it❣️ 👏

[@imdeadinside792]

Yes he is

[@v.e2035]

Mr finkel. Is a (by definition) real world wizard. An encyclopedia of knowledge and wired as wild as a bat, and far beyond that.

[@almishti]

did you just write a Captain Beefheart lyric for Dr. Finkel? :)

[@donaldgraham6414]

It’s Dr Finkel, not Mr. He has a PhD in Assyriology from the University of Birmingham. Yer, I had never seen that word before today either.

[@donaldgraham6414]

@@almishtiDon’t give him ideas like that! Too many rude words rhyme with BOTH Irving and Finkel.

"What we call a diagonal; from the greek diagonal, meaning diagonal."

As a 31 year old historical linguist, this is who I aspire to be in 30 years.

[@angeliqueriou4067]

Hi, I'm interested in going into historical linguists. May I ask where you studied and what you enjoy most about the job?

[@srenstraarupfrederiksen313]

Good, the world needs more people like you

[@j3licat]

Only 30 years? This wizard is at least two hundred.

[@yuzk2]

You want to grow a beard?

The third one is what we call diagonal, from the Greek diagonal meaning diagonal

[@joshuahutchings558]

I had to pause the video to finish laughing.

[@jennybrani6030]

As a second semester sophomore majoring in history, Irving Finkel is the pinnacle of what I want to be when I grow up.

[@JhonJrCoffee]

No you can not, you are a muggle, ypu can't attend his wizarding school by any mean. 🤔

[@masonmorgan4]

Dr. Irving Finkel must be protected in this time of madness at all costs.

[@Alpostpone]

Dr. Irving Finkel represents the invaluable timeless madness

[@hannahbrown2728]

Dr. Finkel will eat the current madness for breakfast

[@jimpalmer2981]

Dr. Finkel is what happens when you lean apologetically into what you love. Suddenly the most obscure thing becomes fascinating to everyone around you.

[@Skaftholu]

Unapologetically*

[@peytonalexander5300]

“What do you do if you’ve made a mistake?” “Oh, they chop off one of your fingers.” 💀

[@bustedfender]

[@BruderSenf]

[@francisfischer7620]

Oh my! The world is better for having this treasure of an old fellow in it!

[@jezusmylord]

the second i saw that man on matts and toms channel i knew i love this crazy wizard.

[@curiosdevcookie]

As a 37 year old Ex-PhD-student of Ancient History now gravely in love with Functional Programming… I aspire to be like Irving Finkel, too. Not the looks, mind you, but his kindness, knowledge and his humour are all quite endearing 😄

[@bennettbullock9690]

Why do all us antiquarian humanists - those with at least one humanities degree and a persistent interest in ancient languages or history - fall for FP? I'm a Classics major/ex-Arabist who's read a significant part of the Greek corpus (not to mention plenty of Classical Arabic literature and Hebrew too). I got so frustrated with procedural programming in Python that I wrote an FP that compiled into Python. Out of sheer rage at tedious programming.

[@kelliethornton7986]

Omg PROFESSOR DUMBLEDORE LMAO 😂😂😂 You are the oldest I'll love for many years 😂

[@oldmanfromscenetwentyfour8164]

He's a delightful eccentric! What's not to like about him!

[@marmieRH]

I love this man 😊 merci du Québec! 😊

[@inkryption3386]

What a Chad.

[@manuellubian5709]

Kind of makes me wonder if the director of LOTR had Dr Finkel in, mind when he was trying to visualize / bring Gandalf to the silver screen. Lol

[@jasons2023]

He could have made a great Tom Bombadil or a Blue Wizard

[@manuellubian5709]

@@jasons2023 True. I agree.

[@chompachangas]

Finkle fucking rules.

[@martinnadaud8649]

Irving is my spirit animal

Irving Finkel, a man who makes me proud to be British.

Mr. Finkel is the very model of Conan Doyle's Professor Challenger.

[@DisVietVetUSA]

Precisely

[@vikingfitness384]

I have a beer with irving

[@donaldgraham6414]

I think Dr Finkel has created an entirely new professional niche, which we may call Cuneifedian.

[@menwithven2862]

I wanna go on a road trip with him and Alan Moore

[@tramainecbaynes1364]

Cool video.

[@meganbirdsong533]

Just imagine Dr. Irving Finkel and Dr. Robert Bakker together.

[@MetalWolfz]

he looks like a living oil painting

[@tdbarton7712]

Why has Irving Finkel not been knighted by the monarch?

[@hannahbrown2728]

Im honestly disapointed this doesnt include the subtle jabs he makes in the lectures he has on youtube but great nonetheless

[@hillmc]

Was he playing mornington crescent there? I think he might have been....

[@markandresen1]

I no longer miss Viv Stanshall.

[@dan.j.boydzkreationz]

He reminds me of Stephen Fry
