I was showing a group of my friends this (about 6 or 7 people), and we just started this part. We were about 30 seconds in, and then some of my friends decided to do something and cause a distraction. Then everyone got involved. I paused the video until everyone quietened down. After they did, I was about to start the video again, and my friend was like "LOOK AT HIS FACE!" We all looked. The pause face was hilarious, yet no one but him noticed. Out of us, he'll be the one to notice the carrot :P
Epitome of Adam's message of "How to use 'surreal'": uk [dot] news [dot] yahoo [dot] com [slash] woman-stabbed-beheaded-tenerife-145217799 [dot] html
I honestly found myself screaming at the computer: "IT'S NOT SURREAL! Yes, it *is* bizarre, BUT NOT SURREAL!"
Oh, and I'm very sorry for all who she left behind but, seriously, the fact that someone said it was surreal just really pissed me off!
I have quoted this whole thing word for word for my friends quite a few times now. It is my favourite thing from any comedian, i think, pretty much ever. The only things that have kind of approached it is Billy Connelly describing eating Toblerone, and Eddie Izzard talking about finding the perfect position on the dial of a shower.
"Ewan? Is his name Ewan? Come away from the light. He's not responding because he doesn't recognise my voice. I KNOW! I'll talk to him in a voice he'll recognise!"
HIS BEST FRIEND WHO IS A DOCTOR, HAS BEEN PICKED UP AND CARRIED AWAY BY TWO SECURITY GUYS! HIS GIRLFRIEND HAS *STEPPED OVER* HIS BODY, HAS COME TO ASK *ME* FOR AN AUTOGRAPH! AND NOW, BART SIMPSON, IS TELLING HIM TO COME AWAY FROM THE LIGHT!!
Fantastic act, this guy is a huge riot, I love him. I got to confess a shame to have misused surreal on occasion, I do try hard to use it properly, (believe me!) But sometimes there's just a slip of the tongue.
Where did he do this? What country I mean. I love the sign language interpreter WE NEED MORE AT SHOWS! And everywhere actually. Good for him for working with one there. *emphatic nod*
THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! THAT HAS GOT TO BE THE FUNNIEST MAN ALIVE!! i was literally crying, my eyes were actualy meltin down my face that's how hard i was laughing!!! Honestly!! :-) CLASSIC!!!! HAHA
you know, i'm at least mildly disturbed by how spot on he is about Americans. i've lived here my whole life and i don't think i could possibly count the number of times i've heard people use the phrase "don't go into the light", even in situations it doesn't belong. an old man told me that when i crashed my bike. i was already getting back on my feet when he started talking...
"Notice the carrot." That will be my mantra from now on. And if I really like someone, I'll go, "There's someone who notices the carrot." A carrot-noticer. Now that's a noun that should be in the dictionary.
Damn...I haven't laughed like that in far too long. I am literally in tears.
btw @nessacheng He is indeed very popular in Australia, but I think what you were getting at is that he's mainly known for Spicks and Specks and as a tv personality but his stand-up shows aren't very mainstream, which is a great pity.
I saw Adam do the surreal portion a few years ago and ever since if people say something is surreal I ask if there was a hippo making toast... bloody brilliant
Guys, I feel like we are a big family here watching this show :P The audience, people commenting that they have fallen from the chairs laughing, quoting Adam - just a big bunch of related people!
"This guy has collapsed on the floor in the middle of a public bar. His best friedn who is the only doctor in the building has been carried away by security. His girlfriend has stepped over the body to ask me for an autograph. And now Bart Simpson is telling him to come away from the light. THAT IS SURREAL!"
This has always been my favourite Adam Hills bit! I saw him doing this on the comedy store and I've been waiting forever for the surreal gag to come on youtube so I can see it again! Thank you!
I CAN SAVE THE DAY!*
