It's strange to me how many people hate him, I think he is brilliant, his comedy is so relatable that you can't help but imagine yourself in any situation he talks about. He is my favourite kind of comedy, can't relate to comedians who just swear, or talk about politics etc.

[@MagycArwen]

Same.

[@UffeErupLarsen]

Well said. 👏👏😊

[@KuiWagacha]

WHO HATES HIM???!!! LOVE LOVE LURVVE!!!!!

[@Shorty-uh9ks]

The majority of people especially in the UK love him. Those who don’t like him tend to just shout the loudest lol

[@marchy0710]

wait what people hate him?

[@PARoth2011]

This American absolutely loves him, he’s hysterically funny and so witty. He captures life as it is and makes it so relatable. I’m glad he has so many videos, watching him brightens my day.

[@charlottecolley8713]

Yes!

[@dianeyoung2914]

I watch him too but I also watch Peter Kay clips because he is another British comedian who is absolutely hilarious, you should go watch if you haven't already. His misheard lyrics are so funny and the songs he picked I can't ever hear in the same way lol

[@PH_1964]

Thank you for being an American that doesn't need canned laughter ❤

[@user-wt7ps7dq5h]

Same, American also. LOVE Send to All! Die Laughing. Love him & Ricky G. 😂

[@loretta3203]

American here. Michael McIntyre is a riot! He absolutely needs to do shows here!

[@jacetaneneko_vt]

The Wheel on NBC is his only show, I would love him to do more shows over there because I think he'd do well.

[@rabmcnair4488]

Please take him.

[@saurabhsinghmakrahi]

I seriously doubt anyone has come close to how sharp his humour is. As for him being endearing…I doubt anyone could ever hate him. He’s adorable he’s lovable. Fabulous comedian.

[@infiniteinspiration1628]

Absolutely outstanding comedian 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@OperaJH]

Unfortunately, quite a number of people have expressed their disdain and dislike for him in comments. I myself have countered their malicious, and nasty comments many times.

[@infiniteinspiration1628]

@@OperaJH very sad 😔 hey

[@Marykguise]

Michael is hysterical!! I’m an American and I would love to see him over here. His jokes about us were brilliant!!

[@rabmcnair4488]

I would be happy if you would take him and never let him come back.

[@melaniekendall4903]

He's not even funny

[@infiniteinspiration1628]

Definitely hysterical 😂😂😂😂😂

[@simongreen3646]

Absolutely. His level of asininity would go down well in America

[@smithchasea]

Pffft, nice try British man. We don’t use the word brilliant. 😜

[@chaunitawoodson4667]

I love this guy!! I’m an American and would go see him. What he said about us just now had me in tears. Love his humor.

[@aspie4jc]

If you hae time and money, he'll be in NYC next month, September 2023. There are tickets available for his show on the 14th. (NYC is the only city he goes on his "world" tour.)

[@allisonsack9207]

Me too! I've seen an extended version of that bit and I cried laughing.

[@Bethi4WFH]

😊. Perhaps you have some English DNA?

[@charlottecolley8713]

😂🤣

[@PirateLeota]

I'm an American, and I love Michael! I only just heard of him in the past year, but I've been a fan ever since.

[@paulinefollett3099]

I am from Australia and I think he is one of the naturally funny comedians ever.

[@kellynewman8492]

I love him. He became famous without all the cursing. I'm old fashioned, I do wish he would go back.

[@melyalvarez9262]

... and then, when he swears, it makes it all the more funny. He only and occasionally uses swearing as enhancing rather than the joke itself. Brilliant!

[@Alexe829]

Has he retired?

[@Mindthegap125]

@@Alexe829no he still does shows, and a tv show on the bbc

[@dawn5227]

Hes the absolute funniest comedian because he is so relatable. His humour is quick and on point its impossible not to laugh.

[@JettRSmith]

I’m American and I know we’d love you. I think we need your kind of hilarious humor, relatable, intelligent, surprising and delightful.

[@rogannachurch7116]

How could anyone hate him he is fantastic

[@surfsister100]

I didn't know much about Michael until I came across his autobiography on KZbin. He read it, himself, so I got a full picture of his life and how he came to be the man he is today. After that I watched anything posted about him. The Unexpected Guest segment of his show is hilarious, and he is hilarious and he watches it unfold. I am an American and he gives me a glimpse of what English people like in their humor.

[@pauladaffron4897]

He is so funny without being obnoxious!🎉

[@debparker7239]

I've been watching Michael on KZbin for probably two years now. He is the only standup comedian that I would buy tickets to see, and, yes, I'm American.

[@pechaa]

Michael McIntyre is quite handsome. His hair is brilliant. He is a wonderful writer and performer. I’m so glad to have run across his work.

[@margaritabishop6595]

He has me laughing all through his shows no matter how long it is he's wonderful just funny thank you

[@Qatpaw]

I'm American and I think he's hysterical and completely adorable!

[@catherineono3387]

I’m American and I wouldn’t absolutely recognize Michael if I saw him on the street. He got me through covid

[@ericlarsen1721]

A few of us Americans have knowledge of the outside world. Michael McIntyre, Pub Landlord, Graham Norton, (Monty Python, of course). We love the humor and can take the quips about us, which are largely true.

[@tsundereyoongi3869]

Have you seen The League of gentlemen? Not everyone's cup of tea, but give it a go if you haven't already! Also Black Books is hilarious

[@Rachel-art-and-design]

As an American I must say He is the funniest comedian ever. I have to be careful to not pee my pants when I watch his shows. I would love to see him live, with the loo close by.

[@annemccarron2281]

People in the US "get" Michael McIntyre. He could easily do a residency in Las Vegas. Would love to take my adult kids to one of his performances.

[@sandrathompson1277]

I would be surprised if he even wanted to visit Las Vegas…never mind stay there..he’s too English and too normal for that ..

[@c2wak]

Absolutely love his comedy it's so funny and relatable.

[@caravanstuff2827]

Two of the smartest mouths and sharpest wits on the planet together in one room... comedy gold!!.♥️🇬🇧

[@colleengunn3934]

I’m Canadian and thanks to KZbin I watch your shows all the time.love them.

[@kathimeci5179]

I'm American and I thoroughly enjoyed this bit on American English. Had me laughing out loud. If we can't laugh at ourselves, .... I won't ever see him live (unless I don't have to do business with ticketing companies), but I've enjoyed his Netflix specials and these clips on KZbin. Thanks to all who make Michael available without me feeling ripped off by ticketing companies!

[@tamarayork3902]

He's fabulous, we love him in Australia

[@abornbuyer]

Since KZbin posted a video of Michael McIntyre I have been hooked! He is by far the funniest comedian I know. And the only issue that I ever had wasn't understanding his comedy act but some of the celebrities from Britain that he talked about that I didn't know. So I personally think that he would be awesome in the US especially on the West Coast! Living in Nevada ya know. Even though I know he is performing in New York later this year (2023) I believe...so bummed! Because I would definitely save whatever I had to just so I could see him live. There has never been another comedian that talks about everyday stuff and makes it hysterical!!! The woman's tights skit gets me every time!!!

[@marinamartens1334]

You might like ISMO too

[@thomasjohnston4800]

I’ve met Micheal McIntyre it was one of the greatest days of my life he was fantastic with us 👍

[@rabmcnair4488]

You must have had a terrible life.

[@onegorgeouschick]

Wow

[@margeparker9571]

I am American and I love him. Great comedian.

[@paulasweetman7319]

He is just so funny It comes so naturally and everyone an relate to his humour

[@kellynewman8492]

The penguin, the Norwegian hotel, the dentist.. he is hysterical.

[@pechaa]

The dentist! The dentist is my favorite.

[@Ridiculina]

Agreed! And the BS production

[@lanamaria76]

I live in Northern Ontario, Canada, and absolutely love him. Even his laugh makes me laugh 😂

[@thudeshreenaidoo3330]

Please read his autobiography Life and Laughter.. he is so real and true! Very underrated in my view. I am from South Africa. He is lovely!! 😊

[@jabekajabeka3188]

I always laugh out loud whenever I see a Michael McIntyre stand-up (or sit down) routine. Love his work!!!

[@shannonstevens2476]

Another American here! Love love love Michael McIntyre ❤

[@pizzagaming9949]

I've been waiting for him to come to the states. So so funny. Your routines are relatable world wide. Especially losing the tape and scissors while wrapping.

[@rabmcnair4488]

Please save us and take him to America.

[@cbisme6414]

I loved the one about watching his wife get dressed, it's was so relatable, I cried laughing.

[@lorim.1528]

I’m American, I looove Michael McIntyre! Come to America Michael! Come to California! He puts on a good American accent too! Lol

[@juliestokes7]

I would be in line to buy tickets for Him...Love his stand up.

This American absolutely LOVES you Michael!!!

[@jacquelinearmstrong8558]

I'm an American and he is way funny. Spot on too!

[@DebbieAnn-nk3lm]

Aussie here! He came to Adelaide in South Australia in about 2019. I was so thrilled that he did a show in our city when we are so often overlooked by big names. He made some funny jokes about our city which we appreciated and enjoyed. Such a thrill. PS He is much better looking than the North Korean leader.

[@anniekalaydjian7571]

How can anyone not like Michael M. He is so lovable, witty, quick and humble too, such a family man. Watched so many of his videos he is hillarious. 😅❤

[@DhavalBrahmbhatt2627]

One of the brilliant comedians from UK! Love him, would watch every one of his shows

[@anniepaul787]

I love him so much and laugh so hard every time.. must've seen this like 20 times already but every time I come across this video, i watch it fully again!! Both of them too.. Especially appreciate hosts who let the guest shine! Love it !!!

[@markslowen1411]

Keep your hands off him America he’s ours and we are keeping him.❤

[@storytime8205]

Would you share him with Canada?? Just discovered him and was crying I was laughing so hard!!!! Love him!

[@charlottecolley8713]

You can only love Michael Mcintyre ❤️

[@lizuca08]

I live in the US and I think Michael is hilarious! :D

[@BetterAfghanistan]

He is a comedy genius

[@jq8974]

This Canadian 🍁found MM during covid and would looooove to see him live. Great guy!

[@ZenZill]

Meanwhile his shows are already sold out in Manhattan! Michael McIntyre is amazing, what a great comedian and entertainer!

[@TheKeebster1]

In all fairness, as an American, I have literally never heard anyone ever say "waste paper basket." It's trash, or garbage. But the rest, absolutely spot on 🤣

[@robinwhite5151]

My parents used to say "waste paper basket"

[@pestbsn]

When I was in school, it was always the waste paper basket.

[@cynthiajoeverett5798]

In government offices I've heard the word. Years ago, however.

[@cbisme6414]

Waste paper basket or bin here in Australia 🦘

[@dalevafeas7933]

I think that's more Canadian

[@abornbuyer]

I think if you look through your comments during the last year (+) I strongly believe that Americans are thinking you are absolutely hysterical! And would love to see you live!

[@robedmunds7163]

Saw him live, he has definitely got it.

[@idaornstein1305]

He is totally hilarious! Brilliant! The best comedian! ❤️

[@jadarv]

I can totally relate to what he said about the woman who thinks of him every time she puts on her tights (stockings in the states lol). In the bathroom at my work, we have a motion activated paper towel dispenser, and I saw a routine of his where he compares activating it to doing karate, and that goes through my mind every time I use it because it is so damn true lol

[@coolersmoke]

Problem with this show is all the questions are pre-loaded. But Ross is a master of making them look spontaneous and around-about.

[@TimGreig]

He would be better off going it alone. The questions were lame

[@user-nq5py7he4d]

He's great! When I need to feel good, I watch one of his Shows!!

[@loreedavis5988]

I think he is hilarious and adorable and he has the best hair ever 😂

[@joannekennedy3350]

I’m America and absolutely loved Michael for years!

[@mystik.mermayde.aotearoa]

I'm not from the UK (and I'm not from America either 😅)... I usually can't really appreciate Michael's comedy for some reason, it's just so British! But that joke at the end about Americans needing to change English in order to understand it just totally killed me!!!!! I'm dying!! And it's so accurate too 😂😅🤣

[@gonnabeok.]

Love him. He is hilarious 😆🤣

[@ajcurran100]

I love this man. He is hilarious 😂

[@ShannansShenanigans]

The hardest I've ever laughed was at some Michael's jokes. However, I love the British accent and know the differences between USA and British nomenclature. I'd Love it if Michael came to America.

[@rbuffett]

I love Michaels comedy. I'm Canadian and would like to see one of his shows live

[@mahrukhfarazsheikh9566]

He is my absolute favorite!!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@margaretlarking665]

Michael is amazing and we can all relate to what he says in his act his material is brilliant.

[@Josey0801]

I'm from the South USA and I absolutely love you!!!!

[@LivesinReno]

64 year old American granny here and Michael is my FAV!!! So relatable and hysterical. He reminds me so much of John Ritter! Looks like they could be brothers! PLEASE come to Reno, Nevada!! ♥

[@VivGrimston]

We are seeing him next week in Sydney - can't wait!!

[@kendradorman6014]

I have been watching you for 4 years and I am smack dab in America. Love your stuff!!

[@daniellebutcher2744]

I love Michael but I feel bad for him in this interview and realise if he was a woman being asked these questions there would have been uproar. He’s asked twice about his weight/staying in shape, commented on his appearance negatively and basically asked how well he knows his own kids. It’s insulting. He obviously was hilarious and professional and fair play to him and took it in his stride.

[@pechaa]

I agree. He makes fun of himself, which is his prerogative, but it’s bad form to sling his self-deprecating digs back at him. It’s lazy and mean-spirited. And just plain incorrect - Michael is quite dashing. Most men would love to have so much hair on their heads. He dresses well and isn’t any more overweight than any other middle-aged father with a busy, wildly successful career.

[@koborkutya7338]

Roasting each other on anything is more like a cultural thing here, if not on live TV it would have been much worse :)

[@joybarr8965]

I’m an American wife & mother of 3. I think he’s hilarious and would definitely see a show if he came here💗

[@joannecastille6468]

Greetings from Canada. Funny thing, you can't understand a word spoken in parts of Canada. And besides that, we are a bilingual country. So imagine that conversation. I Love them all and love you too.
