Opera Singer scared a pianist with high pitch

I miss Victor so much. In the 1970s, 80s and 90s he would pop up as a guest on TV shows at the weekend in the UK. He was an amazing pianist but a brilliant comic also. So very talented and so very much missed.

That's Victor Borge. Well known pianist/comedian. He wasn't scared, it was part of the act.

[@castelodeossos3947]

Oh, thank you. I do wish they'd put a trigger warning on these videos: 'Warning, this is comedy. Not for real. Do not worry.' Make the world a safer place, better for people's mental health.

[@KimiTheV]

​.A trigger warning? W.H.A.T?😂

[@doggycatalan]

​@castelodeossos3947 I respect trigger warnings, but you don't need them for everything. I sincerely doubt this could trigger people.

[@castelodeossos3947]

@@doggycatalan If one cares to read my comment carefully, one will see that it is a response to chrisarsenault's telling us that Mr Borge wasn't actually scared, only pretending, upon which to me absurd comment, I elaborated on the absurdity, which two commentators, so far, have taken seriously. Sign of the times.

[@AlbinoHammer]

@@castelodeossos3947What the Hell are you talking about? How is telling people that the man is a comedian absurd? I think the issue is that your comment was too serious to be taken ironically and was generally unfunny. Signs that the older generation is struggling to keep with the times.

[@Rollin_L]

Those of you who didn't have the opportunity to see Victor Borge live, there is plenty of you tube stuff. The man was one of the most talented and funny ever born. Had the honor of seeing him once, late in his career. If you find this short bit amusing, you need to see more!

[@rhyfelwrDuw]

I've seen clips of his 'routines' he was pure genius and comedic!

[@ariellasandberg2001]

She scared herself as well! His reaction though is amazing! 🤣

[@draconiclady0610]

He's such an icon, I love watching his stuff, especially when he does punctuation sound effects

Oh, dear. Saw him in person several times. The first time he had people laughing for so long I had to leave early because I HURT. Loved that man.

The singer was a world famous opera soprano not a comedian.

[@ajs11201]

@asnalelo.165 Fair enough--she is definitely both an opera singer and funny. I think the above point is that unlike some of the others you named, this soprano didn't specifically plan to be an actress or do comedy. I think after doing these bits with Victor Borge, she returned to her usual operatic work.

[@WitchKing-Of-Angmar]

​@@Kai04834 No you hyena she was getting to the point that it was an act.

[@ibelieveinyourgalaxy07]

I'm 21 and I'd love to watch and listen to an opera by myself. It's just classic.

[@arnaubasulto4448]

Ok nobody cares. I’m 16 and I like to listen to everything from jazz to flamenco to cuban music of all tipes to peruvian guitar music to mongol throat singing and country and mariachis and some old italian songs and military anthems from Spain and Italy and some old catalan music and very old russian tunes with acordeon and argentinian and uruguayan guitar music amd boleros and all kind of stuff. But do I feel the need to come here and tell the world how classy I am? No. Do you know why? Cause it doesn’t matter and nobody cares.
