Adam Hills Comedy Festival Gala 2009

[Kianarama]

I love Adam Hills... He's such a genuine, funny guy. One of Australia's finest, I reckon.

[mattiguy97]

lmfao

[sfinkss]

OH GOD! That really IS how Dutch people speak English! (Or rather most of them ;-) ) I love how he tries to say 'maagdenvlies'. I really cracked up then, not only because he pronounced it very porely, but more because I finally understood that first joke :)

[MDfearlips13]

@KidThisCrazy no actually Kevin Shea is or Russel Peters

[StripedShirtsSS]

@MDfearlips13 It's a matter of opinion =____=

[KidThisCrazy]

hahahaha! i love adam hills, best comedian ever! <3

[FallingDownDeep]

the first time I heard that joke I didn't know it either but it was with subtitles and that helped a lot. though I do, sometimes, laugh even though I haven't got a clue whats so damn funny

[sharkhart93]

how has he not won a gold logie :O next year = huge campaign yeah :D his acceptance speech alone would be worth it

[Thiery2864]

hahaha im dutch and i understood the joke the first time xD

but seriously Adam brush up your dutch accent cause thats not how we sound xD

[mrarmaggedon31415926]

@Thiery2864 so what IS the dutch word for hymen? or was maagdenvlies correct?

btw that is THE stereotypical dutch accent for anglophones. Whenever an English speaker wants to imitate the dutch they sound like that.

[Thiery2864]

yeh Maagdenvlies is the correct word

and i dont like that steriotype :(

my english is perfect :D .. wel.. close enough anyway

[cheapshotdrummer]

@Thiery2864 No matter how good we speak english, I'm still ashamed when I watch Dutch politicians speak english.... That accent REALLY REALLY bugs me T_T

[Thiery2864]

i know exactly what you mean xD

[MissMiniMilly]

Haha, I'm Belgian (northern part so I speak Dutch) and I finally get the Misty Hyman joke now :D hahaa, thanks for the translation Adam! ;)

mystery solved :p

[Tcrumpen]

@MissMiniMilly Are you being serious, did you really not know what he meant by Hymen till he explained it (not raging at you, genuinally curious)

[AnnieWoo89]

i don't think we should compare comedians.. they all have their own ways of telling jokes.

[d3d3lina]

Her name is Misty Hyman... But I can't believe half the people here don't know what a freaking hymen is.:|

"I enjoyed your show very much. It wash very amushing. Cause Sean Connery rent the club." LMAO!

[Prime4571]

adam hills is clearly australia's best comedian.

[AMFbowling1505]

@Prime4571 OH HELL NO. carl barron all the way. :)

[Prime4571]

@AMFbowling1505 then why are you watching Adam Hills instead of Carl Barron? But seriously that Ben joke was gold as are his sketchs involving the Australian National Anthem and Accents.

[mehblahmehblah]

ha! in 2008, "ben" was called t-mobile!

he's a fibber!

[Bigbolo2010]

ahahahaha that Ben gag was comedy gold!!!

[wickedwy]

Maagdenvlies!!!

[aqu1r3]

[frickinradical]

is 'highman' supposed to be something because i'm english and i don't get, am i just blonde or something?

[hankingaround]

@frickinradical yes you are, or too young.

[hankingaround]

@frickinradical and it's hymen.

[kolmf]

@frickinradical he was referring to the word which is spelt differently, but sounds the same: Hymen. It's a piece of skin in a female body which is... torn during... sex...

*is very awkward at just having to explain that*

[frickinradical]

@kolmf oh........ok....OxO.....well thanks for explaining anyway

[Azmodeus87]

@frickinradical .....ahha...oh... hahahah rolflol XD Many thanks for that explanation from Sweden.

[kreena0007]

com'on Adam....ur too much especially with the dutch!!! i hope my ex-bf dnt mind hahahahaaa ............coz he was a Dutch!

[flickr95]

ahahahhahah "well he'sh being a dick, but i will noht tell him.."

[Bems4]

'i've no idea what he said but that was clearly the punchline, if you laugh i will laugh and we will all move on' lolololol

[goldenluver33]

Ahahaha, whose verizon? Come on whose verizon??? He's calling your girlfriend!!!!:) lol I was dying at that joke!!

[plonjcc]

imagine a person seriously asking you who Verizon is for ten minutes?

[SPnSSaremint]

ROFL that ben joke i nearly pissed myself!!!

[SingASweetSong27]

BEN is the name of the mobile phone network...HAHAHA!!

[ernazus]

I saw Adam Hills on tv a couple of years ago where he was joking about dancing on the music of Aha (Take on me) but I can't find it on You Tube...

[hasher22]

I dont get it...whats Heiman? Misty Heiman? or something

[BlueSharkBoy434]

@hasher22 Look it up on Google. That's why it exists!

[thefidlerontheroof]

DUTCH PEOPLE FTW!!! What he says of them is very true, though. They are hella, hella nice folks.

[mudkipdobarrelroll]

@missrandomgirl96: I'd look that one up not ask people on the Internet... Especially of you are a girl.

[honan91]

@mudkipdobarrelroll i wouldn't, you might end up with some horrible imagery hahaha

[Mikethepanda]

OHH, HYMEN! I thought he was saying "High Man"... He said the skater joke before to an austrailian audience and I thought it was an Aussie term for boner...

[missrandomgirl96]

[CamoSpartan07]

I would have never guessed what BEN was without Adam Hills's help XD

[onewingedangelthingo]

[ForeverTheGirl100]

Yeah, basically it's the barrier across someones vagina that gets broken when they have sex lol.

Not too many jokes about them around...

[goidontno]

Not enough.

[tiggerbear9]

[ForeverTheGirl100]

Sick yet hilarious!

[cheekylilmunkey]

kebaboriginal! hilarious :)

[MrSinAfterSin]

5/5 excellent.

[tilhon]

Brilliant as always

[vdwhans]

the translation for "highmen"<=( I don't know if that's written correct) is actualy right :D only it's not pronounced right but who cares?!

b.t.w : Totally love this guy :p

[bookworm266]

@vdwhans "hymen"

[lunadiablo666]

I had the same problem with that joke caus well I'm dutch so I had no idea where it was about untill is saw this vid wich is quite imberrasing T_T

[mitchkurt]

hymen joke is funny as

[Stefanimaree]

I found that hymen joke was very inappropriate- he shouldn't have said that in my opinion.

[bodyanti]

Can i just out, April1987, the Hymen is not a layer of skin it's a membrane! So stop scaring all the virgins. so - it doesn't have a huge amount to do with why sex hurts the first time. OK that's all thanks bye.

[danamies]

No he didn't. Other way around. Just cos it's on video doesn't mean it was the first time it happened. Adam was doing that joke on tour years and years ago, before Ross was famous.

[Projectrez]

There's no need to make up bullshit just to defend a comedian you like. You clearly aren't a fan of Noble so, obviously you wouldn't know when he did the joke or made it up.

[davidpidge]

if you will laugh, i will laugh, we can all move on...

[TheRockmaster5000]

in iceland they call hymen sneepur and in norway jomfruehinne, directly translated "virginmembrane"

[Batmanchick]

Oooooh , man, the Ben thing was great!

[universe93]

LMAO

[lunadiablo666]

I'm dutch myself and I had the same problem with that joke but then I found what it meant and wel LOL

-xxx- A

[romziki]

he is fkn good :)

[aussieebabe]

LMAO FUCK HES SOOO FUNNY

[WOOWOOP123]

oh, thanks anyway, as wierd and awkward that is.

[WOOWOOP123]

what's a heinman?

[aprilL987]

the hymen is a thin layer of skin that is inside a woman's vagina. it it generally broken the first time a woman has sex (that's why it hurts the first time) but it can be broken through sport, tampon use, etc. sorry but u need to know.

[1994cg]

ahahahaha I FUCKING LOVE ADAM!!!!!!!! hes so funny

[jacky817]

lol thx, but why were the boyfriend and girlfriend hinting him to drop the topic?

[paulabreuning]

so he wouldn't embarras himself further... i guess

[acdcrox85]

jesus christ do you have a negative iq or are you american or both

[jacky817]

Nah, just have a different sense of humour smart ass =)

[jacky817]

i dont get it, mobile phone network?

[namicml]

WE have a mobile network called "Telstra"

and theres another network called "Ben" in Dutch

but Ben is a common name in AUstralia so Adam thought Ben is a guy..

so theres a confusion lol

[randomshinythings]

mobile phone= cell phone

[yoklpo01]

he's very good for the environment

[bdrh12]

oi man look up carl barron funny as like adam hills lol

[gregkisskiss]

jesus hes a fuckin dickhead he makes up shit to get a cheap laugh

[imnotfrommayo]

You do know what an adjective is , don't you ?

[gregkisskiss]

what in the hell is that supposed to mean?

[mattikinsmatt]

ummm hes a comedian, he has to make shit up

[VomitFromTheEyes]

Yes, Jesus is a fuckin dickhead.

[ZexkStudios]

[karenshoney]

[walkingtoNewOrleans]

[xmeowkitty]

[nitrats]

This guy is one of aussies best, seen him on mock the week. some of the others kinda take the american approach and its kinda just loud, ott and lacks delivery.

[magicmuso]

Is he going on the roadshow too??? Does anyone know which artists will be in Canberra?

[Footieluver94]

PMSL

[GottaLoveTheHorrors]

LMAO

"Well our last names heiman, what shall we name her? How about Misty. But won't that be kind of embarssing. Well her brother Rusty doesn't seem to mind!"

[ScissorFilm]

[kasanatheangel]

It's because Americans with no humour rate it, us Australians can't be fucked to rate shit.

[M4N1F3570R]

[Minority93amy]

don't blame me, i rated 5 stars xD
