Tim Minchin on Comical Radio

[catchleese]

Its amazing how many people don't get that this whole "interview" is a joke and that the interviewer isn't being serious.

[rubbishrider861]

either that interviewer has the MOST rubbish way of expressing irony, or he's a nob

[manthasagittarius]

This was so unredeemably rude and unprofessional I don't think it was real. I wonder if the two of them were just playing as a kind of sound check or warmup of some kind, before the actual interview.

[Michaelishous1]

I'm giving this 5 because Tim is in it, but that frigging interviewer knows fucking nothing of the man!! I'm from Australia, anyways but how the fuck could you not know where Australia is. And he deliberately filmed Tim's lower body, yeah that's good for pervs lol but you know why? And He's just so UGGRHH annoying. I thought my sister was terribly wrong about some Americans, but he has just proved it, some Americans are STUPID. no offence to anyone at all and I said some, actually I change it o

[Cheeseducksteven]

If the interviewer knew ANYTHING about Tim Minchin, he should have known that all that "rock and roll grunge" look he does is ironic and satirical. Before he was famous he had short curly hair, now he goes through a can of product to get to that "messy" look.

[DocWito]

somebody slap the interviewer plzz hes such a muppet. actually shoot him, should be pretty easy over there where you can buy guns at your local megastore :/

[simplerachel11]

i can't help myself to write one more comment, fuck this cun!

[simplerachel11]

Indestructible beauty of Tim.

[splinkton]

Saw Tim MInchen's show at Sydney Opera House last night. The man is a Maestro!! The crown went crazy. Standing ovation all around.

By the way who is that aggressive and uninteresting interviewer with Minchen in this clip? Minchen smiled through it. What a pro!!

[thelethalmoo]

lmao XD

[FreeeeS]

what a fucking douche the interviewer IS

[TouchTheSky333]

So LOL

[Aeilan]

Never engage in a battle of wits if you're just going to show up unarmed. I definitely got the sense that the interviewer was going for a "Colbert" sort of flair, but didn't carry it off very well.

[ferretgirrrl]

Isn't is just funny how people always tell you... about THEMSELVES!

We couldn't see the interviewer, but I BET he did his Degree in coiffeur and shoe-shine, perhaps with a Masters in Spellcheck.

But I digress... every poorly orchestrated 'barb' just served to make himself shrink in the eyes of those that couldn't see him(yes - us!) and probably those who could. How kind is Tim to not take advantage of such ineptitude?

[WolfXGizmo]

He knows nothing of the guy he is interviewing.

[TheKarret]

I thought the interviewer was being like Stephen Colbert with his humor.... But then I read these comments, and no one else seems to feel that way.. hmm.. @A@;

[mangezan]

Interviewer is a jerk.

[clazza103]

ahaha mann, that interviewer is such a tool!!! Tim Minchin handled that like a star, "...Austalia, Ohh I love new zealand!" " yeah it's a tiny island off the coast of New Zealand...called Australia" "I've never heard of it" ahahaha

[matcus5]

'a tiny island of the coast of new zealand, called australia,'

'i've never heard of it'

'its quite a small place.. as big as america'

sorry but that cameraman is a retard :L

[magnificoamar]

LMFAO "Dont take my picture! Whats wrong with you!?"

Haha. Fucking stupid interview though =/

[ComeAllYouWeary]

Such perfectly subtle destruction of the interviewer, as I would expect from Tim.

"Un-combed it looks like yours."

[WillCivic69]

Tim- Hey

Interviewer-i shower everyday

Tim- Yea sure...

[93tiny08]

oh my days.......Tim i feel for you, i would have lasted a minute then would have tried to hurt him.......what a wanker x

[misssur]

hahahahahahha!! amazing Tim!

[WillP999]

That interviewer fails.

He was trying to be sarcastic, but you can tell he just offended Tim.

[mybrainondrumz]

the interviewer wasnt trying to offend, he was purposefuly being a dick...cause its funny. funny, because sarcasm is still humor. i love this, how the two go back and forth subtly talkin shit to eachother, i think the interviewers fuckin great

[zer0s0und]

@mybrainondrumz No, no no, the interviewer had a try but got no cigar, sorry he is too stupid.

[TheKarret]

@mybrainondrumz Yeeaah, that's the impression I got.

[hatstalker]

Pissing myself

[musicanwannabe]

I love how he owns the interviewer :)

[darris321]

haha

i understand youre from the uk?

australia.

oh i love new zealand

xD

[ebenheart]

looks like the start to a porno

[nhl4471]

lol it does. ummmm, I'm just going to need you to take off your pants show the producers what you got. lol

[kuroninjaofshadows]

the interviewer is such a dick. I would love to beat his ass for tim XD

[Jaychra]

"Yeah, it's really amazing to finally get my first taste of capitalism and democracy ..."

... I'm laughing so hard!!! Such a straight face too! Tim you r**k ^^

[DCJellybean]

no offence intended to the interviewer

but he epically failed!

[cooljooles]

OK this is a complete set up is it?? So everyone's in on the joke? Or is Tim genuinely reacting to the interviewer? Can someone tell me .. I hate not knowing!

[grahammilesanderson]

no, this tool of an interveiwer tried to offend and failed miserably and then went for cheap shots at the end ...

[Lelby2]

The best bit is that the stupid interviewer thinks he's in control but Tim absolutely naied him! 'This is combed'! I love Tim!!!! Met him for the second time on Sat, soooooo cool!!

[spitfireMK22]

"Australia..............never heard of it" LOL "The little island off the coast of New Zealand" LOL tim is cool!

[783655]

Whether the interviewer was meant to be funny or not, Tim still owned basically everything he said - fantastic! <3 Tim.

[carrlerz18]

Worst interview ever. That man did not deserve to spend time with tim!

[thecomical]

i agree

[MADAMEOCTA07]

haha .... tim owned him :)

even if it was takin th mic :)

[kaizaluktarbaiZ]

stoned? :)

[malakii]

nah...marijuana makes him cough ;)

[bbvoncrumb]

how the fuck is he that dumb to not know australia exists. back to school plz

[jonbonjovi2009]

That interviewer got owned so many times.

All I can say is, well done Tim xD

[dizzi12345]

That's called irony.

[CriticalAtheist]

They were joking around people. A bit of the ol' ribbin' as it were. Calm down.

[ohmyrensa]

"you're from the uk?" ''..australia..'' ''oh..''

[ElectroGirl04]

The Interview dosnt even know his name... Its Tim MINCHIN not MICHIN... the interviewer is a nob... but we all love Tim xxxx

[brokenbuttons]

what a fucking douche. so glad tim pwnd him :)

[princepe123]

you've never heard of australia, fuckin idiot! hes not fuckin' british, i wish he was but he's stupid, tryin to make tim look bad, who the fuck does he think he is, tim is amazin, he was so relaxed and he still owned the guy.

[SakujoX3]

That dude got pwnt by Tim so many times XDD

Well done, Tim <3

[TheSamBrunt]

Does nobody think that the interviewer was doing that as part of the comedy?

Not putting Tims effortless witty replies down at all coz i love him, however you guys should stop being so negative...

[ruroremy]

The problem is just that the interviewer wasn't funny at all and just came across as very rude and antagonistic.

I wouldn't be surprised if other people would have walked away from this interview if he treats everyone like that.

[jaakeey]

if i say so my self i think that interviewer was shit at his job no offence!

[Muso8787]

My god, dont ever try and make fun of anyone as quick witted as Tim.

You will fail.

[thecomical]

good point

[mangaissofun]

although everyone has said this that interviewer was a twat, tim minchin brilliant, does anyone have the rest of the interview?

[pslgreg]

Minchin is a pro, and handled that very well, and that interviewer may have been hired as a comedian, but he sucks.....BIG time.

[Fweezeh]

Ugh. Interviewer was tryna take the piss. ¬_¬

He got owned :L

Tim. Rules.

[WacoGuitar]

i live in the little island off the coast of new zealant too ... definition of "little" being about 20 X the size lol

[alienfingers]

He's so adorable; I want to crush him with something.

[DestroyerMariko]

Hehehe, Aussie pride lol.

[SYNICtheAtheist]

the interviewer was part of the comedy people. lol jeez how can some people not realize that.

[mAmre]

The end line: "It's a pleasure, it's gone well,huh?" by Tim is well shown sarcasm and i love it!

[Maradwyn]

The interviewer was an idiot, but Tim handled it perfectly. God, I love Tim.

[pennydreadful666]

I think the interviewer is trying to be funny - shame he's failing miserably...twat.

[mybestfrendsafrog]

That interview was an idiot

Tim handled it perfectly though!

I wish I could handle situations like this :P

[rosuuuu]

interviewer: blah blah i shower everyday

tim: yeh sure (ignores him)

[ALI150296]

Lol. Tim is awesome!! But like.....what is with that interviewer?! I mean seriously.....dude lol.

[RaveSlave63]

tims genius shines through, throughout this interview.

the interviewer, on the other hand is appalling, he clearly hadnt done his research on Tim, eg. his image etc.

Tim seemed to handle it well though.

[EnemyOfGeneric]

Tim looked absolutely terrified. But he did very well with making the interviewer sound like a dickhead using sarcasm.

[JaackMaate]

Why is the interviewer a total prick?

[feobr1]

I love the fact that the interviewer came off the bat being really antagonistic like he had to be clever or show that he could be "funny" and Tim took it completely instride and made the guy look like an absolute idiot. Hilarious

[genericfirstname]

this is fucking brilliant.... he's saying all this and all the interviewer can say is comb your hair. lmao

[Krynn72]

That was really awkward. Even for Tim.

[squorge1234]

Yeah that went really well. Loving the sarcasm

[pipcmorgan]

the interviewer is just a bit of a wanker really!

[slushbushmush]

yeah, the interviewer is annoying

[cookieflower]

He looks great in glasses.

But to be honest I'd consider him hot in anything.

[shaunsation]

The interviewer just doesn't get it...

[Shantaell]

- So I understand you're from the UK?

- Errr... Australia. Little island off the coast of New Zealand.

lol

[devotedtodisney]

"That little island off the coast of New Zealand" - priceless.

[wickedlibrarian]

Tim is the coolest ever. I love that the interviewer is being so intentionally dense as well. HA!

[CherryDrop89]

"We're in a hallway, which by definition is a thoroughfare..."

How awesome is Tim??

Cat x

[Thedrinkingcluber]

fuck you guys you don't appreciate what the interviewer is doing here. You just don't get comedy!

[GrahamKayComedy]

Thank you for getting it sir.

[poopsmcgee2k6]

You had a brilliant comedic mind on camera, and you couldn't do anything with him. You don't deserve to speak one word to Tim Minchin.

[Equihan]

Hahaha. Cool.

[WaitingxInxSilence]

"This is combed." It's okay Tim, we understand.

[aminesix]

In Australia we are not aloud to shower everyday because we life in a Totalitaria political system however we are aloud to bath everday in red sand.

And a work to Tim - Don't use big works they won't understand you in the states.

[elizabethrazalia]

"Don't use big works (sic) they won't understand you in the states."

From someone who misspelled "allowed." Twice.

[she11she11]

what does "(sic)" mean???

[nickmorgan19457]

It's basically there to show that what was typed is not a typo, or if it is, it's a typo committed by the original author.

To Aminesix: die in a fire.

American (but still don't care for Bush, just to clarify)

Nick

[aminesix]

I also used "works" in place of Words and "life" and not Live

[elizabethrazalia]

I noticed--hence the "sic." But those were just typos; there's a difference between hitting the wrong key and being unable to spell a common, 7-letter word.

Also, I was just joking around. I didn't mean for anyone (read: nickmorgan) to take it as a serious argument and get all violent. I thought your comment was kinda funny.

[oggie114]

MAS

[nickmorgan19457]

Spread the MAS!
