Tim Minchin's "Three Minute Song" - Ruth Jones' Easter Treat, preview - BBC Two

[Joeobrown1]

I reckon he's got a click in an earpiece or something

[MrCrushus]

@Joeobrown1 when you're on TV usually they show a screen of what the audience is seeing so you can see yourself and make sure everything looks fine. So he could probably see the clock

[jonnyopinion]

What a twat.

[Wunderbartable]

Does he have an eye on the time counter ? Would be impossible otherwise, hum ?

[DSioRa]

@Wunderbartable not really, he just has perfect timing on the song for when the notes have to be played

[Wunderbartable]

@DSioRa soooooo crazy !!! I knew he was strong, but not that strong :-)

[CoreyJinxxWhittaker]

I love how he is like DID IT WORK??? at the endd

[elgangsterchido]

Apparently 20 people didn't get for china...

[GrayShark09]

Thumbs up for China!!!

[AaronMartinWright]

i love tims little tune he puts in all his songs ♥

[mattempson111]

for china for china for china for china vagina LOL

[zoerickard]

Feh all you doubters, I knew he'd make it, he's TIM MINCHIN! Sillies!

[EtherealGames]

I used to dislike gingers.... but then i took a tim to the face.

[awwamonster]

oh ruth jones you tap that hand hmm..

[CJVENOMZ666]

For china

[leaguesmanoframsgate]

Sadly, he is right.

[TAPSMonsieurXX]

Vagina :D !

[gredangeo]

I watched a bunch of his videos and I realised just now, he kinda sounds like Chris De Burgh. :)

[awwamonster]

@gredangeo no chris sounds like tim :O

[shadowhawk272]

HE'S SO GOOD!!!!!!

[NightShadeGuitar]

for china



[dorkasaur98]

LOVE HIM SO MUCH

[kontaktseistrup]

People don't realize that they are messed with the time between the seconds..

[toastersmakemehappy]

@kontaktseistrup but I timed it on my iPhone...

[Sozzie16MJ]

So much innuendo :')

[bluedragon8147]

he sang this at the royal viarty

[ljmkernow]

Best version of the three minute song so far...

[loomey2011]

Genius!



[raspberrycuttlefish]

I've watched a thousand times, but I still get nervous every time I see the counter get close to the end.

[TheRyo971]

orgasam

[museman98]

@TheRyo971 Spelling..

[AustralianHPfan]

near the end i was going - OH DEAR GOD HE WONT MAKE IT!!! i cant believe i doubted him

[cannonbulk]

@AustralianHPfan Amazing huh xD

[CallumTheEpic]

2:15 lol



[damod15]

i only made it to 2:53 of the song

[adler208]

omg he has shoes on, he is the most amazing comedian EVER!

[CrissCross407]

Great song, this is my fav performance of it :) and those contacts are pretty...but it looks like they irritate his eyes somethin fierce

[AwsomeMarnie]

Wkd!!! I now officially love tim--even though i watched this on tv =P

[DonforDead]

Hahaa you could tell he was a bit early on this one in the final 20 seconds xD

[mtrenchandeminem]

omg my new favorite comedian. does he put his songs on itunes?

[4Death4The4Kid4]

19 dislikes!? Those b*tches are crazy! :D Thumps up if you love Tim

[amusedtd]

love

[HaistaPaska92]

Pretty good performance, but can't really hold a candle to the one he did at the Royal Variety Show. That one was pure genious

[cnaizhen]

@HaistaPaska92 It is natural that he perfected the song over time. But for some reason, I prefer this version. I do agree that the Royal Variety Show's version is more witty :)

[cueball154]

2, 3, Fore Skin

[Canaanabolaanan]

@cueball154 lol, wow, I've watched this like 5 times and never caught that until you mentioned it. Fantastic replay value.

[LegendaryMusicMakers]

@Canaanabolaanan caught what? i'm intrigued!

[Canaanabolaanan]

@LegendaryMusicMakers The "2, 3, Foreskin" bit.

[Messoppolis]

Funnily enough this is probably far more offensive to middle class english than anything else he could have sung.

[XplosivCookie]

Thechina is a cunt-tree that can bring me to my knees :'D

[MyFarmerguy]

awomeist guy i think i have seen

[TallerThanYou11]

fuck i love boobs though

[supersophie942]

i love you u are amazing and always make me smile when times are low xxx



[TheIcyBlade99]

I needed three minutes to pass. But I am listening still even though I dont have to

[Jonty8000]

Four Skin :D

[juicykarkass]

absolutely brilliant.

[swiftpawsharpclaw]

FUCKING LOVE THIS GUY

[JimothyMcgee]

I didn't even notice that the first time round "for china (vagina) is a cunt ry "

[pigfarts100]

"ooh Mr Humphry my pussy is all wet"

reminds me of the story of my cousin's cousin who walked up to her uncle with her remote control cat and asked him if he wanted to pat her pussy :D Don't you just love how innocent little kids are

[MotherTeresa456]

@pigfarts100 Brilliant.

[pigfarts100]

@MotherTeresa456 HAHAHAHA! I KNOW! child honesty is another dangerous thing :D

[TVFILMBUFF]

Jokes on you BBC... I watched it twice.

[MrAndrewScott101]

"oh mr humphreys my pussy is all wet" love this song!

[MangekyouRook]

PLEASE!!!!! HAVE MY CHILDREN!!!!! <3

[SuperRandomsock]

love this song

[MsTrixxi666]

'two three four skin' <3 Tim

[jayswears]

Fa' China!!!!

[xpinklipglossx]

Was much better on the royal variety performance

[Blood4wrists]

@xpinklipglossx *nods* it was :)

[mattwalkerpianist]

I would have thought he'd need a click track with a metronome to keep in time, but I don't think he has an ear piece? Great song.

[roooseness]

Aw man, I thought we were special and wrote this for the Late Late Show. ;_;

[theLFCperson]

2...3...4skin!

[b14blah]

Tim is exceedingly talented, not to Minchin clever.

[MrChaoscheese]

@b14blah höhöhö, noice wun

[EnglishGavz]

@b14blah Wait, I see what you did there!

[SrSoAd]

@b14blah OMG U SO ORIGINAL

[mankenos]

@b14blah I don't get it please explain

PS. I'm retarded

[ThePseudoSlayer]

@mankenos not to Minchin/mention clever

[mankenos]

@ThePseudoSlayer I see what you did there ;). Cheers.

[ValcanGaming]

@b14blah not Tim Minchin clever xP

[Epicrenamon777]

@b14blah i see what u did there

[obglobgablob]

@b14blah

Horhorhorhor.. Ba-dum-tish.

[TheMasochisticZebra]

@b14blah So punny.

[Nerfi]

@b14blah Your right to use puns is hereby revoked. >:|

[Reidy48Pages]

@b14blah OH MY GOD.

That... was just .... terrible..

[MrDieDieMyDarling]

This guy is a GENIUS

[ayahuascamaharaja]

it's only me or the backgrounds reminds me of Kirby Superstar?

[haidycool]

That little piano solo at the end made me go :O

[GameOfYears]

Either his clock was fast by a few seconds or youtube is wrong.

[ItZjUsTrIcHaRd]

@GameOfYears How do you figure? He starts at 0:01 and ends at 3:01, because at the beginning he tells the camera to start, and the end for the Ruth Jones advert.

[MrChaoscheese]

@GameOfYears Huh, what, why. Why is his clcok wrong.

[nicholasjames999]

fa-china

cunt-ry

2, 3, 4skin a needle...

hoe-down

I can't find any more than this. 

[KyleAB5000]

@nicholasjames999

Pianist (Penis-t)

[mankytoes]

@nicholasjames999 I've listened to this about ten times and missed the foreskin one... I dunno how.

[TanjedStet]

@nicholasjames999 for the last time its not "a needle" its I need a little happy clappy country song.

[MrChaoscheese]

@nicholasjames999 He doesnt even say country, so youve only found 3. And BTW, there are a lot more.

[Tobbzn]

Apparently I'll listen for way more than 3 minutes.

[ljlightfire1]

@Tobbzn like an hour total so far from when i first heard it

[erikmw274]

Such a good s 3 mins song

[FalcnPWNCH]

hih he said penis :3

[KyleAB5000]

@FalcnPWNCH

no he didnt, he said pianist :P

[SarikaMae]

@Tradjectory there are like 4 different versions for this song and he only does done in 3 for the RVS

[Tradjectory]

Our drummer apparently only lasts for 3 minutes

[Tradjectory]

he wasn't done in 3 minutes, he didn't do the don't mind me i'll be done in 3.

[penpin654]

2, 3, 4 (skin)

[SM10101010]

Anyone else notice "for China is a cunt-ry that will..."

[MustradElbow]

@SM10101010 Yeah, that was too funny. But I think 'for china' was meant to sound like 'vagina' XD

[WaKaSaWaKaSaa]

LOVE HIM

[sbagg88]

Seriously, I miss the blasphemy.

[JohnMyersLikesOreos]

for china.. hehe

[jwjw1994]

See I love this guy, he's brilliant :D

[swjkja]

GENIUS!

[RegimentOfGaming]

I'm guessing he is gay?

[shroomzys]

@RegimentOfGaming Nope, he has a wife and daughter.

[MarkTheMagnificent]

@RegimentOfGaming Nah, he's got a wife and kids. Or one kid, at least.

[hahulee]

@RegimentOfGaming

he's got a wife and 2 kids

[DontLikeBandsIHate]

love tim minchin. good bloke too.

[Gam3Fr3ak187]

he reminds me of bo burnham

[AllBeart]

@Gam3Fr3ak187 bo burnham might remind you of Tim Minchin, no offense against Bo, he's awesome as well

[sinbadw00t]

@snaredrum110 you're a tiny dicked, trampy twat to carry on raging at the world for this long... you sad little man; grow some balls and stop listening to Minchin's music everyday each time you reply to one of the many who think you're a retarded mug for saying he has no talent sorry I watched him for hours in "are you ready for this" showing his many talents and compelling observations on the world. NEVER GOT BORED ONCE

[smellytyrant]

oh shit nice timing!

[Deathriken]

lol my art teacher is called mr humphreys

[08alexg]

@Deathriken and we can all imagine his face if that was said to him right kez?

[ItsJustDonkey]

Does he say "for china" or "far china"?

[TheCaalo]

@ItsJustDonkey for China (sounding obviously like vagina)- for China- for China is a country that will bring us to our knees.

[Wintertunes]

@ItsJustDonkey for china fa china vagina vagina vagina is a country that will bring us to our knees

[samie800]

@Wintertunes

he stills says for china, but makes it sound like vagina

[Wintertunes]

@samie800 well the fourth time he clearly says vagina... although the lyrics say for china, he says vagina.. if you know what i mean..

[shawn106]

@ItsJustDonkey vagina

[wobbish97]

Hahaha,

FaChina is a Cunt-ry that can bring me to my knees...

[musicbabexful]

HA I got the 'for China' bit stuck in my head and I didn't see my mum walking past!! :')

[osborndoug]

Hahaha I love the are you being served references

[SianTheMahomiee]

Love it!



[MrDoodosh]

for china =D

[MrDoodosh]

every body loves a pianist lol

[RSKimboMafia]

DAMN YOU.. I Wanted moar :(

[SmileForInsanity]

@snaredrum110 Glad to know you agree, please continue with your trolling as you were.

[Lars0scar]

guys, guys! the youtube time wins! should have had a blooperwarning there

[SmileForInsanity]

@snaredrum110 I respect you're trolling ability my friend, it's rather amusing to watch everyone get so annoyed at this person that they don't know and just likes winding people up.

But homophobia isn't cool, my dear. Stick to the slightly insane trolling that reminds me of the joker from Dark Knight. Don't sink to the level of the other trolls, they are no fun :)

[SmileForInsanity]

@snaredrum110 Lol, you're still here. I admire your determination :)

[MegaScriber]

@smosh do another pokemon in real life

[NattS0rg]

@snaredrum110 Forever alone.

[TheEquinox100]

@snaredrum110 Ahh phil daoust, you have come along way down from the Gaurdian... oh well.

[Thewestguy11]

@TheEquinox100

Haha xD

[TheEquinox100]

@snaredrum110 does it matter what I say now? You're out numbered. Fuck off lad.

[999Thegamer]

@snaredrum110 You call that trolling... Son I am dissapoint.

[pianofortekristina]

every version of this I watch, I spend the last ten seconds panicking because I think he won't finish on time. Somehow he always does. <3

[Jord3W]

if this song was just one second too fast or a second too slow it would lose all its magic

[lovetohate12]

@snaredrum110 I can only assume that you're a young, angry teenager who didn't get enough love from your parents and therefore lack social antennaes, aswell as overall taste. Still, you need to hear this: You're a basement dweller and you will realise this when you are 30-35 and haven't achieved anything, neither carreer-wise, socially or emotionally. Have a nice life, your transparent trolling isn't affecting anyone here in any way.

[lovetohate12]

@snaredrum110 "And I thought my jokes were bad…" - The Joker, 'Batman: The dark knight'

[EyamOnline]

Why can't this song be longer?

[Poppalarge86]

SNAREDRUMS110 wants to have man sex with MR. TIMMY, that's why he keeps leaving messages on this guy, I think he wants to taste this fella's love juice..

[MrMoterhed]

Ignore or SPAM the stench known as "snaredrum110." It's only existence is to attract flies........don't be one!!!

[RokkTheDragon]

@snaredrum110 No, little one. As predicted, you didn't understand my point, and thus don't understand why I'm actually satisfied.

[mizjellybelly]

@snaredrum110 Don't you wanna play any more, C'mon 

[NatalieAnnFox]

@snaredrum110 To say you hate this guy so much, I find it great to see you commenting on more than one of his videos. Surely if you don't like it, you wouldn't be here.

[RokkTheDragon]

@snaredrum110 Little one, you have no idea of the endless satisfaction I have from you proclaiming your existence in the mannerism that you do.

[standup001]

who were the other guests (in the sofa) ?

[mizjellybelly]

@snaredrum110 So you have given up on me damn, I was enjoying my fishing trip but you have stopped addressing me. Cmon bring it on.

[TheImperson8]

@snaredrum110 Again, you are saying i think he's a genius, i never said that. i just enjoy listening to him. And it is clear that you are clutching at straws now because you've reverted to insults.

[TheImperson8]

@snaredrum110 Who said he was the highest caliber? I said he's not as bad as you say. and if no one found him funny why ask him back on to the shows to perform again?

[TheImperson8]

@snaredrum110 What are you on? He is a musical comedian, the lyrics are displaying the irony and unnecessary conservatism of the BBC, i will agree he's not great at singing, but it's more for the lyrical content, you are entitled to your own opinion, but if I'm completely honest, He would not have been on prime time television multiple times on different channels if he was as bad as you said he was. Think about it.

[TheImperson8]

@snaredrum110 i don't understand why you cant appreciate the clear musical talent of the man above. Also, don't talk shit about barney, he would kick your ass at drums.

[ThePseudoSlayer]

@snaredrum110 escuse me, but can you read?

[EmmaPocketsize]

Genius! Anyone who doesn't like this has no sense of humor, and anyone who points out they don't like it has no intelligence.

[abbycheesecake]

ill only watch for 3 minutes?? iv just watched for 21 O.o

[PetethePieman123]

looks like the lolus @ 2:40 XD

[TheImperson8]

@snaredrum110 Something tells me you're either 1. Deaf 2. Christian or 3. A Drummer. If the third is true, I feel deeply sorry for you and i have a few spare coloring books my baby sister grew out of if you want something a bit more challenging than hitting things with sticks, no offense to other drummers though I'm just insulting you because you are commenting on a video you don't like and are still here, returning to the video and giving it more views.

[Iroflpuurikzelf]

Love his laugh at 2:21 

[Guardgriffin]

@snaredrum110 I just came from another Tim Minchin vid, wich you were hating on too... Seems like you waste a lot of time hating. Learn to love!

[mizjellybelly]

@Guardgriffin I think they might be a closet Tim fan.
