Micheal Rosen is nothing but a treat. Brought a tear with the Eddie stories. How great it must have been to have Micheal as a father.

[@MarkHarrison733]

Rosen is an anti-Semite.

His delivery makes it sounds like stand-up comedy for kids. That was amazing.

[@2006HONDACIVICENTHUSIEST]

20:36 Even in 1987 they were making jokes about it

[@astonishingpatch]

Michael’s a very funny person, even today. As Michael has aged into an old man since this TV programme aired, his appearance has changed quite a bit, but he’s still the same funny person.

[@misterk7_-]

But he still sounds exactly the same, it's amazing

[@Pixomite]

Don’t forget that these kids are probably in their 40’s…

[@senpaiskidz4445]

Had the pleasure of meeting this man once, he really is genuinely as delightful in real life as he seems. An experience I'll never forget.

[@MarkHarrison733]

He's a huge anti-Semite.

The Michael Rosen's 41st Birthday Collab (1987 - 199th decade and 20th century) (born May 7, 1946 - 195th-decade births and 20th-century births)

[@pschiptunes64]

the only real big difference I can see between this Michael and the Michael we all know and love is the energy he has here… and the hair lol

[@Down_the_Wind]

I watched the whole thing and smiled all the while. That was not my intention. I was just turning on KZbin for my son to watch, saw this video in the recommended so I was curious and ended up sitting with him while it played. I guess I’ll chalk that up to a happy accident. 😊

[@trumpsdailytruthsmakelibsc6952]

What a legend , it was only 5 years from here I was in infants then primary school where rosens books dominated the classroom shelves

[@SirAU]

Michael is a gem.

[@paulybfromda303]

If my math is correct he is 41 in this video He looks like Greg Sestaro here. I can hear Tommy Wiseau now . . . "Ahahaha, what a story Michael"

I think this is probably the only other time he mentioned "Everybody Here", the other being the Secret Staff Meeting interview. Now we just need to find footage of that show outside of the intro and the other programs he mentioned.

@@sami66666 Yeah, there are three of us behind this project, mostly YTPers. I'm Emilia Blue, (almost always) the one managing the channel. I don't make YTPs anymore myself, but I'm still a big fan of Michael and his poems and everything. This channel's main purpose is to preserve his work, not just to provide YTP sources, but I'm sure YTPers will still have their fun with some of them.

[@totallycoolgamer2682]

​@@EmiliaBlue what is the fixation with making ytps of Micheal Rosen lol

[@EmiliaBlue]

@@totallycoolgamer2682 If i had to guess, i'd say he became a popular ytp source because his videos are entertaining, and he speaks very clearly so they're easy to sentence mix. That's just a guess though, i dunno, the internet's weird

[@JOEY_YAMAN]

I heard something rather mysterious at 9:05. You can hear the sound of Michael pretend crying seconds before he actually does it. Put your phone up close to your ear as you listen. Now do the same with 22:44.
