Kurt Browning - Rag-Gidon-Time (clown) - 1998 Canadian Open

[@mumbal33]

For my money, the performer with the absolute BEST musicality in ANY genre of artist. Kurt is incredible as always! Genius. Comic, athletic, artistic genius. What a rare talent.

[@nathaliekorolev3017]

[@angelablack7946]

Not to mention gorgeous too

[@theresasutton6311]

Pure joy.

[@staticnoise84]

I remember this from when I was a kid. I've never forgotten this routine. I hope I never do as it's one of the best I've ever seen.

[@deeskers1]

Me too! This has always stuck with me and I am glad I found it here on YT. It is* the best routine ever for a male figure skater, imo. I saw it when he first did this, too. He will remain my favorite male figure skater of all time. Fantastic.

[@not0bored]

My All-time Favorite skater. He has a gift of putting your "In the Moment" and actually feeling what he is performing!! Truly an Amazing athlete and actor!

[@tabithasabella5212]

[@neiljoosse8989]

There is and only ever will be ONE Kurt Browning. The best, ever.

[@fanieli]

You're right! What he did is very difficult! No one can do it like Kurt! Absolutely the best!

[@andreaberryhill6654]

BEST ice skating entertainer EVER, IMO. Love this man.

[@andyvanm1]

Kurt is like Chaplin on the ice ,fantastic,Thank You....

[@ChristineTheHippie]

Even the judges were laughing! The parts where he "stumbles" are actually steps and all choreographed. It's actually an intricate program, though he makes it look like he's goofing around. He's a genius!

[@lindamaes6454]

This was during the gala, there were no judges.

[@ChristineTheHippie]

@@lindamaes6454 no, this was Canadian Open, a pro-am competition.

[@lindamaes6454]

@@ChristineTheHippie In the 90's we only saw the European and World Championships on tv in Europe, we never seen other competitions. I find it strange that there are spotlights during a competition so I thought this would be a gala.

[@alizaelias8912]

My favorite skater of all time. He dazzles!

[@rr7firefly]

Kurt has an astonishing degree of athleticism and it shows up in every aspect of his choreography, from the Chaplinesque teetering to his double axels. He is completely convincing even when he feigns uncertainty and goofy clumsiness.

[@tammylaronde8593]

My favorite routine! 😁😁 Brilliant!

[@mystiquelyunique290]

Man Kurt is just truly amazing like I remember watching this as a kid... I only watched the figure skating in the gymnastics routines and I always always always enjoyed Kurtz performances. It’s like he put his all into everything and this just reminds me how good he is and how good he was! Figure skating somehow lost his way but him and Scott Hamilton they are the real MVPs

[@BurrShotHam711Jenna]

this is one of Kurt's best routines, he was hilarious

[@kwaimaisai]

watching this in 2016. still love it. he continues scott hamiltons style yet makes it even better and uniquely his own. wish could see more of this style now instead of less artistic programs , that cram in jumps and show off style. ty for posting . a wonderful walk down memory lane !!!!!

[@4DodgeFamily1]

There is none who dances like this anymore!!!!!!!! I love it!!!! Love it ilove it love it!!!!!!!!!\

[@84josianne]

My favorite skater !!! and the best routine I ever saw !!!

[@angelastolze3616]

Adorable. ❤

[@kimwaddell4577]

There will never be another Kurt Browning

[@karybooks]

Although it was far from perfect, I miss this old scoring system. It's so epic when they call out the 6's. Great job Kurt, I love him so much, and I love this performance !

[@MightnightDogLover]

Kurt Browning is my all time favourite figure skater. When he quit skating, I quit watching skating.

[@heatherkmetz6136]

This is awesome! The expressions he makes are priceless! He reminds me of the scarecrow in the wizard of oz.

[@neiljoosse8989]

Respect. For the best.

[@TheDailyDoseofSarahO]

This is pure gold

[@tabithasabella7129]

Kurt is a genius, brilliant he's one of my favorite all-time skaters

[@tabithasabella7129]

He's inovative creative and loads and loads of fun. I love him to death.

[@RR202734]

OMG I die laughing when i watch this

[@Missdadawette]

Excellentissime!

[@ginou1943]

Fantastique ! super

[@МаринаБасова-е5и]

Фантастика! Очень профессионально катается, как-то необычно прыгает, практически с места. Смешно очень и очень сложно. МАСТЕР!!!

[@alexandrastankova3114]

Bravo umět a dělat s v tipem že neumím je nanejvýš náročné a vy jste velice roztomile se

[@seaquest2011]

he the best

[@kimwaddell4218]

I remember once having flu and a fever for a few minutes I was so happy and feeling better

[@ashleighjaimaosborne3966]

Wow!🇨🇦

[@katie-didellis2437]

It takes such control to do what he does on ice.

[@paulaguedes3187]

Espectacular, incrível, belíssimo e doce...assim fosse possível a paz no MUNDO 🙏❤️ from Portugal

[@hkmetz]

He would make a great scarecrow from the wizard of oz! So freakin funny!

[@sjwpg]

Coincidentally... kzbin.info/www/bejne/anOtk3Wtm5xli80

[@mjking9019]

Love Kurt. Met him twice and he's funny, sweet, nice and humble. I love Scott Hamilton but I think Kurt's the best performer. He was born to entertain. Also I have to say I miss Barbara Underhill and Paul Martini as commentators!

[@heikebohne8864]

Yeah He was good. 🇩🇪❤️❤️💙💙❤️❤️💙💙

[@VMagirusL]

Waw!

[@olgamakarovavoneck9963]

how artistic!!!

[@theclimbingchef]

I love how he mocks the shut outta the pretentious culture while nailing all his elements perfectly

[@JerriBerriBoBerri]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@eleanorwcarmany8922]

He makes it look so easy!!! Ha!

[@stacywiley9252]

Just say Kurt Browning is the Jerry Lewis on ice . Comic Genius

[@lemonade7542]

Naturally a clown IRL too. He's always chasing tail

[@mayashilakadze5698]

Does anyone know, who the author of the music is?

[@hugobouma]

It's by Georgian composer Giya Kancheli! watch?v=5G8n2Ewf40g

[@lilliehalumi8770]

I understand it takes an incredible amount of talent to make 'pretend mistakes', I always felt he was imitating Scott Hamilton's sense of humor on the ice. There is only one Scott Hamilton, and he will always be my favorite skater.
