I have never understood why Tim is not more well known throughout the world 🙄 The man is simply brilliant on so many levels ❤️❤️

[@jackwhitbread4583]

It's actually part of the reason he stepped back from the comedy more than a decade ago, the level of fame he had reached at that point freaked him out and he had the intelligence to notice how so much fame can change a person when people don't say no to them and constantly stroke their ego. I agree he should be more well known but he put his family first so they could have a more normal life.

[@grantgraham5201]

Sony...part of this song... he's so cruelly funny

[@askapk]

Because he's not religious nor is he Jewish.

[@PianoDiary85]

@@askapk he made a conscious decision to pull back a bit so he didn't turn into a terrible person. That's part of why he's so great.

[@peterwaddell6114]

A collection of Jaguars is called a “Scrap heap”

[@TheThamesmen]

Ha ha

[@Reneesillycar74]

😂😂

[@785boats]

One of the best entertainers on the Planet. Thanks for this. If you get a chance, have a look at 'Storm'. A 9 minute beat poem. His comedy intelligence is absolutely brilliant in that one. A true wordsmith.

[@Dr_KAP]

So excited to see you react to this, Tim is just brilliant. You’d never guess he can’t even read music!! He’s essentially a self taught pianist, although he did have some training, he admits that it wasn’t really for him so he resorted to teaching himself. C#minor was the perfect choice for this melancholy up yours to the judgemental record industry. Thank you hairy Chris for the recommendation 😆 👍

[@MonstaAU]

Do we ask the guys to extend to Pope Song yet Kappy, or is that somewhat premature? 😂

[@sammy_dog]

@@MonstaAU we could always start them off with come home (Cardinal Pell) ease them in gently so to say

[@lencooke944]

Some say that the correct key center would be Major C(****)

[@Dr_KAP]

@@lencooke944 LOL ur funny 😁

[@pmR32red]

👍

[@micheleallen]

Tim is a genies. He is different to anyone else in the world. I love Not Perfect, White Wine in the Sun and his beat poem Storm.

[@johnforde7735]

I love Tim Minchin. I saw him live a few years ago. He didn't play this song unfortunately, but plenty of other classics. He is just oozing talent and intelligence. Some other good ones are: "Thank You God". "Prejudice", which has been reacted to a lot because it catches American audiences out. "Rock'n'Roll Nerd", which is pretty old, but a great song and "White Wine in the Sun", which is less a comedy song and more of a song where he appreciates going back to Oz at Christmas when living in the UK. (Which I can relate to.)

[@firecrakka]

Minchin has the midas touch... everything he touches is quality. Comedian, Singer, Songwriter, Actor, Director, Scriptwriter, Playwright and a monster on the keys.

[@jackwhitbread4583]

You missed voice actor, activist and one of the greatest modern composers but I will forgive the over sight as Tim's genius knows no limits

[@elvwood]

I would love to see Bill Bailey and Tim Minchin together. The only problem is that visually, musically and comedically they would create a critical mass and destroy the universe. Want more clever musical comedy? Try Axis of Awesome's How To Write a Love Song.

[@MrLocomitive]

Love my old home town mate Timmy! Particularly "Thank You God", "Lullaby" and "White Wine in the Sun".

[@barbararees604]

Said it before and will say it again - Tim Minchin is the best musical comedian on the planet! A very unique talent and a great human being 😘👌💖

[@jackwhitbread4583]

He has been retired from comedy for over a decade, you will hear him perform some of his old comedy songs still but you won't be getting any new comedy material from Tim. I would say he's one of the greatest musicians and modern day composers though

[@jukip1485]

@@jackwhitbread4583 I like airport piano....with the video clip.....that’s fun

[@JoTracy]

Awesome! Love Tim He's so multi talented Another fab video guys

[@bernbee1679]

Thanks for playing some Tim, so brilliant! My two favourites are Prejudice and Lullaby ❤

[@barnowl5774]

Check out, 'Prejudice', by Tim Minchin.

[@toddjames7]

He is brilliant check out his song (white wine in the sun)

[@barnowl5774]

Tim Minchin also wrote the music and lyrics to the very successful musical, 'Matilda The Musical', which is an adaptation of the children's book, ' Matilda', written by Roald Dahl. It has received many awards. The film adaptation of the musical is to be released in December 2022 by Netflix. The kids (and adults) can't wait!

[@785boats]

Hell yeah! A great excuse to drag my young nieces & nephews to the movies.

[@jackwhitbread4583]

As has Groundhog day another Broadway and West End musical composed by the genius that is Tim Minchin, not sure why people always forget about Groundhog day, it is just as wonderful as Matilda the musical.

[@andyb1653]

Ladies and gentlemen: The greatest comedic song ever writ. It's about 17 things. See how many you can spot.

[@jenniesaunders1917]

Rock and Roll Nerd, Confessions or Thank You God. Would be great choices. Thank you gentlemen. As your Chris is from Melbourne and the Yarra River runs though the city he should be called Yarraman

[@leelee2350]

I think his song Lullaby is the best example of making music funny. So good.

[@leelee2350]

This version is such an experience, I think I've watched it more than 100 times purely for his piano playing. He has other much funnier songs but this is just a masterpiece.

[@taniaPBear]

Tim Minchin week? 😁 Thank you guys for this, I think you'd like ' White Wine In The Sun' (not funny but seriously beautiful) or 'Storm' (Tim's version of Beat Poetry, funny and sooo clever)

[@jackwhitbread4583]

No a week is just not enough, Minchin Monday or month of Minchin is much more apt. A week isn't long enough to get through Tim's wonderful catalogue of geniusness

[@christinecoombs3536]

I’d love to see you react to Tim Minchin’s “Lullaby “. ☺️

[@fringelilyfringelily391]

Good clean fun ... yes ... do The Pope Song next, so clean, such fun.

[@leelee2350]

LMAO that Les Dawson bit was hilarious,

[@jemxs]

Epic and genius! Oh for a clean Tim song try The Pope Song! But as he says it does contain complicated words! But 'Storm' would probably be more of your liking!

[@andyturner3056]

Tim is a brilliant lyricist, musician, comedian, pragmatist, stage performer, poet, and all round the one performer you need to see once in your life. He is so gifted with talent that it shouldn't be missed

[@stevesmith9285]

Have watched a few of your reactions and have enjoyed them. Watching you watching Tim Minchin was easily the best. Keep watching him, it’ll only make happy. Keep up the good work guys 👍

[@TheThamesmen]

Thanks 🙏

[@leelee2350]

So good to see reactors who actually get it. With so many it goes completely over their heads and they laugh in all the wrong spots lol.

[@wasabicars]

LOVED this. (Sorry for) Loving the Aussie stuff. Tim, Divinyls, John Farnham, Jimmy Barnes, etc... I really appreciate the reactions. Btw, are Hoodoo Gurus on your radar? To be fair, more a pub/club experience than virtuosos. Anyway, until next time

[@zwieseler]

How do you make piano playing funny? Victor Borge….

[@JoeNienaberNienaber]

He was Judas in the Australian version of Jesus Christ Superstar. Slso you need to listen to his poem Storm.

[@OceanChild7]

Hi! React to Harry Styls at some point, please, I'm interested in your opinion)

[@marionbray6774]

Tim Minchin - White Wine In The Sun (modern Aussie Christmas classic) or The Pope Song.

[@flip8702]

Tim Minchin is the ducks guts. 🦆

[@shauns5680]

Pope song, lullaby

[@krpurple2678]

Victor Borg is another excellent classically trained comedy pianist from the 1950s. He had his own television program

[@phunkmonkeycookiegarage7773]

Best damn piano solo ever!

[@TheThamesmen]

I know right

[@rjswas]

Just a little bit of info, he is self taught piano wise. and that piano was specially made for Tim, it wasn't a Yamaha, it was a Yama HAHAHAHAHA Hi from Australia.

[@TheThamesmen]

Hi!

[@baird55aus]

best thing on a piano since Victor Borge.

[@LikkieAU]

Going by the laugh the “deep as, bro” line got I’m guessing he was playing somewhere in New Zealand.

[@Dr_KAP]

Filmed in Australia

[@carolynh8866]

Forget how bloody brilliant he is. His skill on that piano is ridiculous.

[@elizabethscott7660]

My landlord was so happy that his prized thoroughbred Grey mare was in foal to his prized Bay thoroughbred stallion. Until the foal appeared and it looked very much like my Blue Roan Shetland Stallion. We surmise she must have done the act on her knees.

[@donnachatterton1639]

A great song and bonus track would be Tim’s White Wine in the Sun, which he wrote for his baby daughter, followed by Lullaby, which he wrote for his baby son. Both are wonderful songs, but in VERY different ways. I’m sure Chris, the Hairy Australian, can confirm this.

[@erwinzyx]

"Tim Minchin is good, clean fun." - You guys definitely need to have a listen to the Pope Song. 🤔

[@TheThamesmen]

Ok :)

[@ThePellefantman]

wow that was an amazing intro you both got

[@TheThamesmen]

Cool!! Ex BBC presenter.

[@TtownHacker]

Tim Minchin is a brilliant genius on every level. Everything in the Heritage Orchestra performance at the Royal. Albert Hall is pure magic.

[@digimontexcelguy1114]

I'd suggest The Pope Song, but after reacting... you'd have to decide whether to publish or not.

[@jenniesaunders1917]

How about sampling Icehouse featuring Michael Paynter Man of Colours live. Not a comedy unfortunately but well worth a listen and critique. Get Yarraman onto it.

[@michaelkyle7687]

You should see Tim as Judas in the Jesus Christ Superstar Live Arena Tour or playing 6 sold out nights at Royal Albert Hall with the 60 piece Heritage Orchestra or as Friar Tuck in 2018 Robin Hood or composing the lyrics and music for Matilda the Musical winner of 4 Tony Awards, 12 nominations or as writer, executive producer, starring with Milly Alcock, now in its 2nd season, Upright, the story of a man and a 16 year old runaway driving across Australia to return the family piano, or after 7 year absence returning with the 2019 BACK tour, a slightly matured Tim, a touch cynical, less silly, even more clever and his music has gone to another level.

[@martinphillips3549]

Well done for bringing up Les Dawson

[@sean---the-other-one]

Now I have pianist envy. On a serious note this Dark Side might be better than the one by Eddie & The Cruisers. 😂

[@jenniferjacobs228]

So, is that dark enough?..hahahaha OMG he is unbelievable...I am exhausted. Talent extraordinaire! So proud of our Tim xxx

[@lesleyking4059]

He also does the "wrong note" thing in Inflatable You

[@palsyvlog1465]

got here looking for a tim minchin reaction. but I'm insta subbing for the mini podcast/who wants to be a millionaire at the start. incredible content thank you.

[@peterdubois65]

The man has perfect comedic timing. In his song prejudice He pauses after sensitive to UV. Not particularly funny but with the pause everybody laughs right on cue.

[@soozarty]

Tim Minchin is a god.

[@brettwilkie3833]

He has so many diffetent levels of genius talent , lyrics, musicianship, humour, acting, etc

[@Joshualuv13]

I could listen to him playing the piano all day long ...guys a genius!

[@flor9389]

Thanks for this! Genius is right! Mimics other singers perfectly and the piano skills are excellent!

[@dalewyatt1321]

He is so here good but I think better on his Lullaby song for comedy and Not Perfect for his intellect

[@jamesstubbs2228]

What an absolute treat. Genius is often over used, Tim Minchin is.

[@mals4125]

Self taught Tim - just brilliant.

[@lesliedavis2185]

The multi talented, very witty and clever Mr Minchin. I have seen him improvise a song live on a quiz show. As others have said White wine in the sun is a great song. Prejudice is also worth a listen.

[@mikeschenk4730]

Is there anything you two aren't rubbish at? ;) Cauldron of bats is nice, as is a shadow of jaguars. Tim Minchin is indeed a genius. That bit where he went off on the piano made me think a little of Chico Marx (who did it better, but that's nothing against Mr. Minchin). Tim Minchin is hilarious in a very original way as well as incredibly creative.

[@TheThamesmen]

We are proud of our rubbishness!

For a good laugh, you should check out "3 minutes song" by Tim Minchin that he performed on Ruth Jones show. He explains the song in the lyrics.

[@kevintopliff4995]

Tim Minchin "Rock and Roll Nerd" definitely worth checking out kzbin.info/www/bejne/joGcoaGJjc2cmNk

[@reallyoldskeptic]

Yes - he is WONDERFUL!!! And you understand!!!!!

[@Puggo_Huggo]

To add to the brilliance of this performance, it's played at the end of a 2 hour show.......

[@kaafromoz]

Thanks guys for getting too Tim, he is a lovely man who just happens to be a genius and brilliant in so many areas. His performance as Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar was fantastic so that is worth a look see. The show also featured John Legend and Melanie C (ex Spice Girls) and I would highly recommend it. Keep safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘🎶🎶🎶🎶

[@davidsmith8475]

Watch if I didn’t have you, the pope song and the lullaby songs by Tim Minchin

Lovin’ me some Tim Minchin.... A true creative Genius... Terriers are the Best! I have a Jack Russell Terrier named “Ollie” and he thinks he is an Alsatian 😂😂🐶💓

[@evaadams8298]

Tim Always plays in bare feet... I remember seeing him at the Sydney Opera house about 16 yrs ago (solo with his piano) and he had bare feet there too....

[@melanieslack8645]

Tim is awesome 🤩 Other songs that are really funny are Prejudice , Thankyou God and Lullaby are all great

[@paralna7755]

Yeah Tim Minchin is good clean fun lol maybe listen to the Pope Song next

[@Twitfilteron]

He is a genius!!!

[@TheThamesmen]

No question!

[@carolynmck6046]

Lullaby is hysterical, give It a go you won't stop laughing

[@jackwhitbread4583]

Also worth taking into account that this song was played after an already 2 hour long performance, to still have that amount of stamina to perform such an intricate and challenging song is so impressive and yes the bare feet is his thing, he gets quite anxious before going onstage so bare feet makes him feel like he's playing in his living room

[@annaparsons4788]

Hello, Thamesmen...appreciate your reactions, plus little extras like this one (collective animal pronouns, for folks who may be skimming comments pre-viewing)...I'm awake at 3am in Seattle; I find your lovely accents relaxing ASMR, thank you! Wanted to add this to yr list: a flock of crows is called a murder, what's the term for a flock of ravens?

[@TheThamesmen]

The collective noun for ravens is treachery which is what started this whole conversation. Bastard birds!!!!!

[@ianlead9338]

Some great suggestions previously but you have to see his song, rock and roll nerd. One we can all relate to 😂

[@TheThamesmen]

Probably true!

[@davidcruse6589]

Tim is a trained classical piano player could've be in any orchestra But likes the freedom to create and wants the average person to love the piano again

[@jackwhitbread4583]

That's not really true, he had lessons from the age of 8-11 years old but he is largely self taught and is not even close to being classically trained, find someone who has had double the training of Tim and I can promise they are not nearly in the same league as a pianist

[@muzza1967]

Les Dawson or Victor Borge🤔, I'll take Tim over those 2 and my pick would be either "Prejudice" or for something completely different "Storm" (a jazz-backed beat poem)

[@jackwhitbread4583]

Prejudice is soooo ridiculously overrated, its over played and Tim literally wrote in less than 10 minutes while sat on the freaking toilet!! Woody Allen Jesus, Cont, Angry(feet), 10 foot cock and a few hundred Virginia and lullaby are all far better songs and there aren't like 500 reactions to them either

[@digimontexcelguy1114]

Victor invented piano comedy. That must always be understood and respected accordingly. He is immortal. I expect Tim will be too.
