Gingernuts are biscuits/ cookies Into ginger tea Tim wrote the score & lyrics of the hit musical Matilda. He's is renowned in Australia for his dark comedy songs. Taking the N word & turning it to Ginger was genius. Australians traditionally called redheads "blue".

[@susanatinsley7136]

Great reaction, but I do think you missed a little bit - the letters in the word GINGER are the same letters as the word you were thinking of, so although the song is about ginger haired people, the sentiments expressed for the gingerphobes can be the same sentiments felt/expressed in the N-word (well known that in England especially you do get bullied for being ginger haired, eg here is an excerpt from an article online explaining where this came from - "It all started in the Middle Ages when witch-hunting manual, Malleus Maleficarum, warned that red hair and green eyes were marks of a witch"). Hope you don't mind the explanation, it's a great song and message from the brilliant Tim Minchin.

[@BGNewsReporter]

I don't think thats a little bit! That's a huge part of the whole point / deception he aims to create with the song!

[@adammuir]

yeah i don't mind admitting i was watching and waiting for the comment or laugh or spark of recognition that the two words are spelled with the same letters.

[@e55ex36]

Fil clearly understood lol.

[@labethspain7936]

😉…thank you

[@labethspain7936]

😉…thank you

[@cindyshawver9986]

If you want to see his piano skills, you need to watch "Dark Side--Awesome Version" and "Lullaby"......2 excellent songs with awesome piano playing. He is so smart, so talented.... 😁😊😉

[@jemxs]

Tim is funny, brilliant, intelligent, clever and funny! His word play and misdirection is perfect. He usually has a point to make but also can just have fun. Also a Broadway composer.

[@Dr_KAP]

Composer and performer 😉 He played Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar

[@jackwhitbread4583]

​@@Dr_KAP composer, performer and actor. He has his own hit TV show which he co wrote called Upright, season 2 is coming soon

[@prestigeworldwide5239]

Whoosh!

[@zobek530]

Best serious song from him, which also got him the opportunity to write Matilda on Broadway is "White Wine in the Sun"

[@joshgavin1939]

Not sure if you realized the reason for the switch up. Ginger also has the same exact amount of letters, and same exact letters as the word he intentionally mislead you to think 😂. He’s a comedian, and a genius in my opinion!

[@peteryoung8462]

Ginger Nuts are a popular Australian biscuit.

[@swamihuman9395]

- As others have probably noted, he's not primarily talking about "gingers": he's still addressing the 'N word', but in a tangential way. - And, the switch is designed to point up the prejudice that most people assumed the 'N word". - Lastly, some references are Australian, so can be missed (like "gingernuts", which are cookies, or "biscuits", which get dunked into tea).

[@caro.k2958]

Ginger nuts are an Australian hard biscuit! 😂

[@Lenny-ue8hk]

His song White Wine In The Sun is my favourite christmas song. It's about chirstmas in the summer which as a new zealander is very relatable.

[@tarshnottrash1483]

Omg you’re reacting to Tim!!! Such a legend. Knew you would love this - such a musical & comedic talent. You must do more. Definitely want to see you react to Storm & if I saw your eyes widen at this one oh I can’t wait to see a reaction to the Pope Song- you must do the one with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. Please do carry on with these!!!

[@kevinmcgaughey8247]

To me he looks like the chuckie doll all growned up

[@christyzeeaquarianated2600]

"The Pope Song" (piano version) and "Storm", my guy. Tim also does a bit about dark humour and his wife, which is definitely worth checking out. Oh! And his bit called "Tony the Fish." The list where Tim's concerned is basically endless haha.

[@jayholland2632]

Fil, so stoked to see you discover Tim Minchin. While he is a brilliant comedian with an incredible wit his lyrical compositions are wonderfully complex. Tim is probably best known for his comedy songs, especially those which tend to skewer religious beliefs as an unabashed atheist. He is also a quite accomplished non-comedic singer/songwriter/composer having written the Tony Award winning musical 'Matilda' and the Tony nominated 'Ground Hog Day the Musical'. A few comedy suggestions would be 'Rock & Roll Nerd', 'Not Perfect', his 9 minute beat poem 'Storm', and his sentimental masterpiece 'White Wine in the Sun'. If you want to see his more serious side check out 'I'll Take Lonely Tonight' and 'The Absence of You'.

[@tarshnottrash1483]

😂 stoked is exactly the word I thought of too!

[@wendyraymond1751]

Very funny very entertaining made me crack up great start to my evening ..Love ginger nut biscuits....So funny brilliant reaction you are so fun much love an God bless always x

[@MrTombre]

Tim Minchin is very clever

[@firstsurname7099]

The history of using ginger as a slur is connected mainly with the UK and Australia where the 'ruling' class are English and the subjugated are Celts, Scottish, Irish and Welsh populations, wherein the recessive gene for red hair is significantly more common, so over here and down under ginger and other 'traits' associated with celticness tend to be used in a derogatory context (obvs not in anyway at the same level as ginger's anagram) In British ex-colonies/commonwealth with more influential/respected celtic populations the opposite is often true; so in the US, Canada and NZ having red hair is desirable and in most other parts of the world its pretty neutral if a little exotic.

[@caspianYT]

Please, please, PLEASE watch more Tim Minchin, he is a literal Goldmine, all his songs and standup specials or clips are... breathtakingly hilarious and good xD

[@PaulKleynjan]

ginger nuts is an australian biscuit

[@jacks9624]

Yey, you did it! Glad you liked him. And yes, the point of the song was to make fun of the fact that in today's world the obsession about some words (like phobia, as you well observed) has been brought to absurd, and anyone is entitled to claim special treatment for some reason that may or may not be based in reality. You can see he was really truly respectful of the N word usage (the one we all assumed as the one he meant, so... are we being prejudiced?), but he played with the fact that "a couple of Gs, an R and an E, an I and an N" do also spell GINGER. (Btw, ginger nuts are Australian tea cookies :D) For the next one of his songs, please consider Storm: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHq6m2aqfpJ3jsk It's a 9 minute beat poem as he calls it, also a brilliant comment on some modern world tendencies, but funny as hell

[@deano641]

Lullaby and You Grew on Me would be a good start before heading down the Pope song and Thank You God tunnel. Dark Side (Awesome version) is more or less a classic reaction. Great Aussie talent - can do everything.....

[@peterdubois65]

Ginger nuts are an Australian biscuit quite hard but nice dipped into a cuppa tea

[@pennicooke2277]

FYI - “ginger nuts” is a double entendre . In Australia they are a popular biscuit - good for dunking.

[@BGNewsReporter]

Glad to see you reacting to Tim Minchin! He's a fantastic entertainer/comedian. Also, gingernuts are a biscuit in Australia (NZ and UK too) that people typically dunk into coffee/tea. In case you or others didn't know. "Ging-ah" is also another way to pron. ginger down under.

[@MrkBO8]

Tim Minchin's Thank You God would be a good one for you

[@bluecloudrevs6383]

The words we never use

[@Maple837]

I really enjoyed this.. 🤣🤣 Thanks again Fil ❤️

[@caspianYT]

For another really clever and critical one: Ten foot c*ck and a few hundred virgins and for something still funny, but also just beautiful: You grew on me Both songs were part of one of his comedy special, I think (I recommend the old recordings, although there are some new tapings for netflix)

[@tw5732]

Confessions is a great one. If you want to really see his piano skills do Dark Side (awesome version)

[@melanieslack8645]

Lullaby, Thankyou God and The Dark Side are a great start

[@esselleanderic]

He’s a very clever man

[@philosophicsblog]

Mate, I discovered that 'Sherpa' is a slur. Luckily, I was only a spectator as my boss got the lecture.

[@taipan801]

Gingernut biscuits are Australian. Delicious with a cup of afternoon tea

[@nulse55]

Us ginger kids coped it sweet out in the world when I went to school. This song is also about The N-word and all the horrors of prejudice. Medicine wrapped in candy. Tim is brilliance.

[@melanieslack8645]

Ginger nuts in Australia are hard ginger biscuits that are softer when you dunk them in your tea or coffee

[@melanyprigg4515]

Also, yes, classically if you have red hair…. Well…. You’re labeled a ranga. Maybe where you’re from it’s just a colour. Here it’s a person. But the song is still about prejudice like it’s named, and really yes, about the n word.

[@caro.k2958]

Many many more Tim classics for you to discover Pope Song, Darkside and my personal favorite Lullaby!

[@Bushranger28]

Tim has many great songs. Thank you God, Dark Side and Storm are amazing. FYI Ginger Nuts is a brand of biscuits.

[@lesleyking4059]

Gingernuts are a type of plain biscuit,goes well with a cuppa

Acronyms for the win!

[@roxee57]

Ginger nuts are an Australian biscuit.

[@melanyprigg4515]

Ginger but is a real biscuit we dunk in our tea!!!!

[@NixyRose72]

Phobic is also used to mean an aversion to our repelled by. Like hydrophobic clothes repel water and photophobia is an aversion or negative reaction to bright light. Hope that helps 😊

[@elvwood]

He's really talking about the N word all through, although ALSO commenting on real bullying of ginger people (he multitasks). He's a great musician and composer and his lyrics are always very clever. My selection for next song would be Dark Side (awesome version), but in December make sure you hear White Wine in the Sun, one of my favourite Christmas songs.

[@lisannebaumholz5028]

As others have noted, gingernuts are a very hard biscuit (cookie) which are much easier to eat if you dunk them into hot tea. Of course, Tim was absolutely aware of how this would be taken as a sexual entendre, thus emphasizing his point about knee-jerk reactions to how we use & interpret language. Tim is also an accomplished musician & lyricist who wrote the musical "Matilda": kzbin.info/www/bejne/bai7pJStmbCGbrM kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIqbY6qhqaZ4o7M

You should watch his video called The Pope. ✌️

Totally went over your head mate!

[@abekane7038]

80s-90s Australia people would sometimes call my family "tampon family" because all redheads. Ginger is fine, not insulting. Tim is using it as an analogy. Check out Tim Minchin-Confessions

[@kennethdodemaide8678]

Tim is a comic genius, brilliant pianist, composer, songwriter and highly intelligent performer. He has a number of University degrees and you should react to his speech to university graduates at his old alma mater, the University of Western Australia.

[@spellcaster7893]

Tim is an incredibly talented and intelligent man, who takes on many a confrontational topic. He is the comedian of the thinking man, and he slays that piano! Ps. A ginger nut is a biscuit, , the double entendres are Tim’s speciality. I think you might have missed the point of this one a little.

[@TomJones-wx5on]

Ginger Nuts is a type of cookie btw

[@NebraskaGonvilleJones]

Try “thank you god” by Tim. It’s amazing!

[@genostellar]

I really don't see how you can agree with a group of people deciding, all by themselves, that they are the only ones who get to use a word. Imagine if other people decided to claim a word for themselves and said that nobody else could use it. The use of a word isn't the issue and should not be the focus. It's racism that is the issue and should be the focus. The fact is, when a group of people say a word is theirs and that nobody else outside of their skin color can use it, that is racist, even if it's true that most other people who use that word are being racist. It is possible for a person outside of their skin color to use that word and not be racist about it. Bottom line is, people have the right to be offended, but they don't have the right to not be offended. Anyway, Tim is actually talking about Ginger people, and it points out exactly the problem with a group of people claiming a word and not letting other's use it and how silly it is to do that.

[@owennoad-watson2820]

Jokes aside, I've been spat on for being ginger so yes, it's not comparable. But it's the closest comparison and that's why it fits so well- besides being a sarcastic anagram

[@aoao2263]

Wow you didn’t really get it at all. I don’t know how you missed what he was actually talking about.

[@tw5732]

Ginger nuts are cookies or biscuits

[@RuffledRodent]

Lullaby Thank You God The Pope Song (language warning but 🔥)

[@ThatguyPurps]

The songs basically finished, and I'm sitting here thinking to myself "does this bloke realise this is comedy?" Seemed to miss all the comparisons between the 2 words and the comedy aspect of it. Why so serious? Check out "Pope song" and keep in mind Tim is a musical comedian l.

[@paulgallacher5384]

I wish you could ask the folk at school that were gingerphobe to me.. Prob Tim too..

[@niakitten2937]

You probably already know by now but, in case anyone else doesn't or new people are coming here for the first time. (I'm on a binge of watching reactions to this song XD

[@traktician]

I love this... I actually agree with your thoughts here.🙂

[@revstringbean]

You don't understand why 'ginger' might be a derogatory term? Because you're not a ginger. Have you ever been called bloodnut? Have you ever been called tampon? While Tim is deliberately having fun, he's still making a point about the power of language, whether it's the word you initially assumed or any other words used to demean others.

[@davidsmith8475]

Watch dark side the awesome version, the Pope song, lullaby

[@chrlz904]

Another vote for Thank You God - it's a fantastic performance with orchestra..

[@seachangelezzie]

I feel like alot of this was lost in translation. Gingernut is a type of biscuit in Australia that we dunk into cups of tea. And GINGER is the word he was spelling out, not the other word you were thinking. And in Australia we call red heads Ranga's. This is a light-hearted comedic pun song, don't read into it too much, it will ruin the humour.

[@rattlesnakehaven]

Nothings changed. He's just using a creative approach to talk about the other word. "If I Didn't Have You" is great. The Pope Song, with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra (but don't live stream that. It's a bit edgier and you might not want to be caught off guard). Dark Side. Lullaby. Woody Allen Jesus. I happen to love his Peace Anthem for Palestine, but it's a little brief for a reaction video. Just watch it for fun sometime.

[@bigs1546]

Ginger is just swapped out for exactly what you were thinking in the first place...........BUT ginger discrimination is real. It is equated with Scottish folk - enemies of the English through a long and bloody history. The Scots mainly stayed Catholic when England under Henry VIII became Church of England so the Catholic / Protestant was part of it as well. In history redheads have been long put down. I am of Scottish descent and we have a saying that you always put the milk in your tea first or you'll have red-headed kids ............ my Grandfather's nickname was carrot top so no hope there - luckily my hair was dark auburn. But yes there is prejudice - just not as bad as that first thought of yours. Oh yes in Australia and the UK Gingernuts are are a hard biscuit/cookie that you dunk in tea....yum !

[@timothyfreise]

It's actually about the words...not ginger....I am ginger and ranga is our n word

[@nulse55]

Send you more....The Pope Song

[@gitakahn4993]

Ginger nut is a biscuit

[@stuartbroadhurst7523]

Rather missing the point the ‘prejudice’ bit is you assumed he was referring to the N word. The acronym contains all the same letters.

[@davidcruse6589]

I don't think anyone shouldn't be able to say either of the words you mentioned Because it's all in the way it's done and delivered That's pretty much what he's pointing out That it can be humours or to inflicting pain depending on how it's used I don't think many people would agree it's OK to use to inflict pain But wouldn't think twice if used as a joke making it adhering way 🤔 The problem today people taking words literally where's a single word can have a multitude of meanings depending on how it's phrased This is what people have forgotten about language especially English My concern is people demanding tolerance But are generally the ones who show the least This is what free speech is about If you reactions to certain words causing you this much of issue you need to look at what other issues you have in life Because this only gives the words the power they don't it you giving it the power by how you react to it For instance I've always been fat and people have tried to use the word as power but I'd agree with them and make many own fat joke about myself Guess what happened no more fat jokes as I'd taken the power of the word away and the use to try an inflict pain People told me I shouldn't put myself down like that My reply is I am fat and that's a facts But I can remove the personal attack by taking the power of the word away by my reactions Bullying is a sign of issues the bully has in their life not mine and I'm going to move on and leave them behind while I'll be enjoy my life Words and bully's only have power if you let it Just move on and enjoy the world it's only a very small minority of people in the world so don't play to their ego by giving them power with words

[@tomroome4118]

You were grossed out in the funniest way!!!

[@EessaTube]

Same six letters in both words. I think you missed that.

[@payntpot7623]

Tim is above the pay grade of many an average person. That is pretty clear here. No point mentioning any more of his phenomenally brilliant wordplays set to music. I think they may fall short of the mark, just as this has. Shame. Never mind, I don't suppose we miss what we don't understand.....or do we?

[@Maple837]

First 🤗

[@michaelshort2388]

I don't think Ginger is particularly offensive, but he's using it, as you said at the start, to make a point about the n word without saying it. :)

[@melanyprigg4515]

Someone tell this guy that ginger but is an actual biscuit we eat in australia! Also, as much as this song is funny because we do seriously pay out gingers in australia, he is seriously talking about the n word regardless… the whole song through.

[@mrmockatoo6786]

It's not about gingerphobia - it's a parody, making a point about the "N" word without saying it. Sure, redheads do come in for their share of ragging, but you're getting too literal. Just let his brilliance wash over you and then reflect on its effect (or drown in your effort to over explain comedy).

[@garfnob4832]

then i claim the word racist for concussion people. no non-concussions can use racist. he did not switch it up. he was talking about the G word the hole time.

[@lesleyking4059]

Legemd is that gingerz dont have a soul 😀

[@melanyprigg4515]

Dude doesn’t get it. He’s still talking about the n word the whole time, and ginger nut is a biscuit in australia. So people literally dip their ginger nuts in their tea.

[@Leo-qn5ek]

Ah-ha. Must be cultural because you missed the basic joke that Ginger has the same letters. Then ultimately lost the parallel genius of the whole song. That was hilarious though.
