[3viktorsijpkens]

[HKOverlord117]

I wonder what would happen if the Wiener Philharmoniker allowed Rowan Atkinson to direct the New Year's Concert.

[HKOverlord117]

* Conduct, that is.

[LieutenantShweinHund]

You have spelt conducteur wrongly !

[soURfunnyYOUthink]

[7ChibiTetsu7]

[ChristoExecutor]

[RobertPeetersPiano]

[fh154wv]

[SonOfPsalms]

Reminds me of PDQ Bach

[Deel2506]

That was genius!

[trandoanhung1991]

I never understood why he switched from making hilarious, tasteful skits like this to being Mr. Bean. It's just not the same>,<.

[triondrummer]

@trandoanhung1991 One Word.....Money! Nonetheless.....Mr. Bean was a Work of Genius!

[Fyndy]

I...did not know these existed :D These videos of him are awesome!

[Coolcat607]

hahaha I liked when he fake-played the flute's part... I think he might have been playing the oboe, but ... lol

[MrSkeleton16]

You can barely hear the the laughter, it feels like I have him all to my self.

[111winnetou]

please, where can I have this version of the 5th symphony without laugh (I'm french, sorry for my language)

[gilh1986]

His Clarinet face.. LOL

[adyot2]

This audience has no sense of humor.

[Michaelscoolio]

i <3 Cleese so much. Whenever i can i watch his videos. The channel snapsnap has a few really good ones of him, just heads up.

[thebigfenix2011]

[GOTHICforLIFE1]

THE Greatest comedian of all time!

[Brandonlohaus2]

If this is composing, then I would be good at it.

[machoclownvis]

@Brandonlohaus2 You mean conducting? Well than i've got sad news for you....

[Jornev]

It's the dedication that impresses me the most.

[MrRubyxp]

Did he button? 3:14

[ccqccl]

He's conducts better than Beethoven!!!

[Josingable]

@ccqccl haha, he would! Good old Beethoven is deceased : )

[Seleukos1209]

I think this just captures how creative both Beethoven and Rowan Atkinson are :L

[Seleukos1209]

I think this just captures how creative both Beethoven and Rowan Atkinson are :L

[MrCellissimo]

[duhhh86]

[RennaLyra31]

[111winnetou]

2:25 nice strike!

[edva326]

3:00 - the origin of surround sound.

[blacked3mirror]

HAHAHAHA how sarcastic :P ^^ XDXDXD

<3

[DerekWilliamsMusic]

freakin' hilarious!

[SalomOon01]

He is absolutly fantastic, love the moment when he does some fencing @ 1:24 xD

[ClassabeticalOrder]

Such an amazing imagination. To have nothing but yourself yet have an entire orchestra / drum kit / show cast.

[koringn]

best ever conductor, c the blonde violinist looks like a uuuh whats that actors name??

[ultraplatnumman]

43 people can see the orchestra.

[SpyFlame]

Everything he does seems funny =)

[TheSmoovies]

Dun dun dun daaaaaaa

Dun dun dun daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!­!

The most iconic and memorable parts of Beethovens's Fifth Symphony!

[ChelLissa09]

he's one hell of a comedian..

All Hail Rowan Atkinson..

You're so good!

[mcdrunkin]

an absolute master of physical comedy (and he can tell a damn good joke too!)

[painfulParagon]

did you noticed the audio at 0:43 flocked........

[bubbaXzone]

anyone else besides me laughed throughout this clip? THIS IS SERIOUSLY GEENIOUS!

[jomnz]

One of the greatest comedians of all time

[Manwithafan005]

@jomnz Correction: THE greatest comedian of all time

[obiwan88]

@jomnz For a sec I thought you said, "One of the greatest conductors of all time" LOL...

[Basketball4LifeAZ]

@jomnz If not the greatest

[brandonscherrer]

I'm quite sensitive when people fun of Beethoven, but this, this is an exception :D

[twigletism]

@brandonscherrer This.. and when in Tom and Jerry/ Looney Tunes

[royanupam]

@brandonscherrer: Indeed. I can never tolerate people making fun of the greatest composer that ever walked the Earth, but this somehow is different. A genius. And an alumni of my college too, coincidentally.

[pennthebaker]

@brandonscherrer Just get over it if someone makes fun. Lighten up a little and you might enjoy life. I'm sure he would laugh at himself if he could.

[realisticHomeboy]

@brandonscherrer You suck if you can't handle humor, just because it's about Beethoven.

[realisticHomeboy]

@brandonscherrer This is by the way in NO WAY WHAT SO EVER, an example of someone making fun of Beethoven. If he was making fun of anyone, it would be of conductors. It just happens to be to a piece of music by Beethoven. Get a grib.

[carlinianam0s]

@realisticHomeboy ...What? He said this is an exception. He said it was funny. Learn to read.

[realisticHomeboy]

@carlinianam0s That is the reason he sucks. Learn to read. He said he is quite sensitive about making fun of Beethoven. So he is a humorless idiot. It has no relevance that this video is an exception. He shouldn't have problems with any of it.

[triondrummer]

@brandonscherrer May I ask why you´re so sensible about Beethoven?

[YOURMUM443]

101 things to do a baton :)

[A0GP5YCH0]

@YOURMUM443

lol :p

[jamedcream]

this is a really good video

[mwahhhmy]

his brilliance gives you a deeper sense of appreciation of comedy.

it just gives me pure joy watching his genius in this, and two other (piano player, drum kit) bits.

mr. bean rocks!

[Jellogel]

strange and funny man

[mzkojak]

he he he he u r the best

[seveowns]

rukkig filmke

[jebo94]

genius =)

[kurtislee100]

traffic control at 3:07 so funny

[yeshevishman]

only a master like Atkinson can do this perfectly without delivering a line. All comedians these days just tell viagra jokes.

[drwho188]

Amazing how many conductors actually conduct like this in real life, and get away with it calling it "interpretation and expressing the composers's intentions". The 36 people so far who dislike it probably realised they were looking at themselves in the mirror. Unfortunately those kind of people won't change their ways.

[1bolt2many]

Rowan Atkinson looks a little like Ritchie Blackmore.

[hubert520]

I performed this at my school, and everyone loved it!!!! he is the best!!!

[A0GP5YCH0]

1:54 lmao

[sasorinodanna13]

move over beethoven! you have some serious competition!

[neilxt]

This is part of a set but I can't find the guitarist. I got the drummer, the piano player, the conductor.... Can anyone help?

[bastardchildofmary]

wow! I thought that was Stephan Sanderling!!!

[aussiechickdiana]

Ha, haaa...love his 'golf-swing'....BRILLIANT!!

[sasorinodanna13]

@aussiechickdiana quest crew style!

[aussiechickdiana]

@sasorinodanna13 "Move over Tiger"...ha, ha...

[chris96ar]

how can someone dislike this i dont understand how can someone dont think this is funny...........

[beardy736]

ROWAN ATKINSON = LEGEND

he plays the buffoon so well but is such an intelligent mguy

[LaurazDG]

Ahahahahahahah!!

Usually i don't like Atkinson very much, but this video is very funny!!

[JASmahler]

Beethoven's 5th is in C sharp minor now I guess...

[gokolink]

how long has he played wii music

[cbmtrx]

In the timeless words of Beethoven: "VAAT? VAAT YOU ZAY??"

[DCMusicMan2008]

If someone did conduct like this, I'm sure I couldn't get through the performance. =P

[thetrumpetstar]

Lol

[xedMCRmy]

he accidentally snap the paper XD

[xedMCRmy]

i like the hair

[drsmokesweed]

this is real comedy the bollocks now dunt even touch this. what a fucking legend

[AcePilot101]

Why do they make laptops with a surface that is hard to clean and keep free of fingerprints? Is it some kind of CIA conspiracy?

[endingtheme00]

Wow... he's doing the exact job of a conductor...makin up bullshit on the spot XD

[tarbis1]

best comedian ever



[CrazyFly191]

this is SO FUNNY

[brankom999]

But the moment when he start dancing is pissing hahahah

[11Kralle]

Looking to real conductors is quit even funny - the deliberately comic is not to underestimad!

[l0seit]

@EvaBrick8 omg i love tha joke !! did u make it urself?

[Vesivian]

@EvaBrick8 Lol i see what you did

[TheNNBCrew]

@EvaBrick8 i dont get it.

[ShiningWolfXXL]

this reminds me of looney tunes! the one episode with bugs bunny as the conductor!

[gotmeagrape]

The real comedy is that we had a student teacher not too long ago that conducted JUST like this.

[AYB210210]

ME ENCANTA ES MUY BUENO

[rotateaxis]

more like a bus conductor HAHAHAHA!!!!!

i love you mr bean!

[sinivend]

1:39 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

[miriettee]

HAHA Very Good

[EmoBoyOldFasion]

hahahahahaha thats not a conductor its a traffic enforcer. . hahahaha

[octavine]

best part, when he demonstrated the oboes and flute... LOL

[TrickyLittleMonster]

Rowan Atkinson could even conduct John Cages 4'33 and make it hilarious

[icyxicyx]

love his dance at 1.55 - 2.03 XD

[sophelet]

One of the most brilliant things about this and his "piano player" bit is how well he knows the music! His physical comedy is priceless.

[metalheadlass]

i think this comic performance shows how common people think that the conductor does nothing but a series of random gestures. LOL! if only they knew that's it's not as easy as rowan atkinson puts it!

[zarins92]

@nfsmwrox 35 for now - conductors :D

[mandragorra]

@nfsmwrox He conducts better than them, perhaps?

[nfsmwrox]

@mandragorra hard to find someone more entertaining than the performers themselves don't you think? ^.^

[mandragorra]

@nfsmwrox God bless Rowan Atkinson!

[RoyalSnowbird]

@nfsmwrox He is a comedic artist - one of the world's best. He is actually quite innovative in his silent 'discourse.' Indeed, he is a legend in his own time; a sort of British Marcel Marceau with a style of his own. Albeit, some conductors may not like this, the fact remains that comedy is not meant to be perfect - it is meant for a good laugh or two. If he succeeds in this and puts a grin on our face, then he has done his deed. Good show old boy the Brits would say!

[ACOMaestro]

@nfsmwrox Ahhhhhhhhhahahahahahah.

[vvinblog]

The main concept of this joke was that conducters are praticly usseles :)

[Wulfik666]

1:40 i start fuckinawa laugh ! xD

[enyeny7077]

i have so much respect for him..he is indeed a very talented actor in my point of view.

[melalitasan]

He's better than Mehta and Gustavo Dudamel... Ha Ha Ha

[animumaurarium]

Wow

[faivision]

he control traffic of the music,....hahaha

[MissMexable]

looks like a clown, but sounds like karajan!!

[fleeb747]

WHAT DOES HE SAY AT 3:31 ~ 3:32?????

OMG THIS IS THE BEST EVERR!!

[johncharnley1]

\did he intend to turn the page after spinning his arm around at 1.08.

[MrRAndom5]

@johncharnley1 yes, thats why he lost his place later on

[killergirls]

This is so hard to do!

[ucav4]

i must say, his humour is intelligent. He's a genius!

[SandrineSoprano]

Great classic....

[docwho97]

He's better than Karajan :)

[kacs96]

29 people know the original version:D

[MrNinjaFish]

Was Rowan actually quite musical?

[liekebos]

@MrNinjaFish The answer to your question is yes, just look at Invisible Drums or Pianoplayer

[Physicspilot]

Loooooonnnngggg live Mr.Bean!

[chrizosthemis]

He looks like Rolando Villazon.

[sirmoglok]

Very cheesy, with a little practice, anyone could do a performance like that.

[TravellingMan79]

@sirmoglok Yes, but it is nearly 30 years old. And HE came up with it....So I guess, yes, if you practice you could do it, but you would need to think of it first!!

[elsecretonegro]

Funktastic...

[lionsrage9]

27 people were laughing so hard, they missed the like button.

[DoomOkkultaNaglfar]

Beenoven lol

[MyPianoSucks]

i think there is only one word to describe him . . GENIUS ! we will not see this again :((

[KAPNIZW]

Hehehe.... Fantastic :)

[veitcall]

3:19 is cracking me up...

[BellaSwan18]

2:25 Lol

[Udderchaoz]
