Tim Minchin: Taboo

[MisterRarsclartPest]

pure wordsmithery lol! this is brilliant!!

[TheHyruler]

Filmed with a potato?

[BertTheBest123]

Ginger.

[rossvilla4]

ginger bear is cokny slang for a gay

[GingerCatherine]

i'm ginger (obviously) and tim has got it 100% right that only gingers can call their fellow gingers ginger.

[EnceladusEmpire]

Oh right, I thought the word was 'nigger'!

[Relaxinyt]

@EnceladusEmpire That's what he meant.. The problem is that "Niggers" only allow other "niggers" to say "Nigger".. He made it say Ginger.. Indirectly saying, that it's bullcrap..

[DaSm0k3r]

I nearly died laughing when he said, "I don't think that's appropriate!" rofl

[moontoastify]

my favourite comedian of all time

[ShannonScottMusic]

I love being a ginger! most of the time... ahaha

[hearseluver16]

I"MMA GINGER!!! Sortta... I'mma ninja ginga....

[CrzyEX]

The audience is dead

[RogerFilmProduction1]

we've got a ginger fight because he got hate to be called THE GINGER funny!

[94vian]

i don't know why... but i love ginger girls/girls with red hair. i just love it :D

[AdamsSeed]

@94vian Idc what people may say, ginger girls are sexy. I still try to convince my ex her freckles are sexy.

[therealezio666]

@AdamsSeed dude that's true gingers like me are called all the time but being ginger is actually a genetic mutation the muggles(non gingers) don't know if they strike us down we will come back more powerful than they could ever imagine but not when its sunny out or our freckles will flare out lol

[Lhyllis]

@AdamsSeed My partner is ginger and very freckled... I play connect-the-dots on his shoulders :D

[tetrisacidbath]

@Lhyllis A ginger with a partner? As a ginger, I detect lies.

[NYC4LIFE2K8]

Epic song...only a ginger can call another nigge..i mean ginger

[JessRawrrrr]

Natural Ginger, dyed my hair brown though... Thinking I should go back to normal cause that's who I am :)

[bubbleofthestage]

I thought it was called prejudice...

[MrMaxknd]

The G word is an anagram for the N word :)

[ILOVEWAFFLEWATCH]

Fanta Pants ^-^

[waitingforanangel02]

[julietanimeluvr13]

[GingerJeronimo]

i dont think thats appropriate.

[GingerJeronimo]

[Malibuthunder]

just saw this live at reading today- we were an awesome audience- we love you tim!

[mmmtriplem]

NIGGER

[NightGodess80]

ahahahahha he is soo brilliant!! When someone calls me ginger I will sing this song :)

[pkerisme]

ggrein- Ginger!

[epidemicstudios]

This song isn't called taboo. It's called prejudice.

[IWillEatYourInsanity]

@epidemicstudios He says it's called both. Didn't you hear the start? "It's called Taboo." And in another video he says "It's called Prejudice."

[jennyb414]

I'm a natural redhead, and i never believed those stereotypes about hair colors. And when I dyed my hair brown, it was like a facet of my personality was stripped away. Now I'm back to rockin the ginger swag and I couldn't be more proud.

[doddyboy1]

I love being ginger... I sing this... then pretend to be really offended when people call me ginger xD

[nutz4lutz13]

ginger!!!!!!!!



[WhitmoreSCFC]

Where has this guy been all my life?! Unbelievably funny and some seriously good piano skills!!!!!!!!!

[vissmat1021]

He called this video PREJUDICE on his channel???

[TheMilitantWalrus]

Sooner or later, this fucking ginger will want to vote. Lynch all the gingers before they do away with all of us!

[Rachiesexy]

Has nobody clocked that the whole point of this song is that the letters in 'ginger' are the same as the letters in 'nigger' he's making a point.

[1234stuff45678]

@Rachiesexy yes. yes i think we have clocked that. thank you for justifying it.

[Adam900able]

i can call him a ginger

[Supernaturalxxxxxx]

@Adam900able me too

[LamoniCa7Garrett]

Just like only a ninja can sneak out on another ninja . hilarious

[martyren1243]

I would love to see a statistic off how many caught the fact that "nigger" was the most likely spelling considering the first part...

[Brainbox97]

My catwalked in when you said the g word and he is the g word and he looked at the screen and he knew.

[NiKoLaRR]

I dont think thats appropriate!

[32Zenith]

This song makes me proud to be ginger :)

God I love Tim Minchin.

[ClashxCityxRocker]

whooo gingers!!!

[TheBuizer]

I sold my soul to satan 4 weeks ago, i got a new nice couch in exchange for it and Im ginger now :D

[Talendiem]

Just saw him on Conan

[bkg198621]

Just saw him on Conan. lol

[HopeLess1212]

Oh, and I sang her this song. She loved it.

[HopeLess1212]

My english teacher is a ginger but she's HOTT. (I'm a girl LOL). We always mess around with her. We call her Ms. Ginger but she doesn't care cuz me and my 2 best friends are her favorite students.

[jame55millie]

18 people can't do anagrams

[Thezezo1999]

@STIGOFTHERING  dittoooooooooo

[DuhuKaralius]

this performance was lame. The one called Prejudice is MUCH MUCH better! Anyways, shitty audience. Good job Tim!

[midlifecrisi]

[TheRealBarnez]

@midlifecrisi AKA You don't get it.

[midlifecrisi]

[XxsiananxX]

[FurryVegetables]

[estinski]

[VerxGaming]

i love this guy and the song.. but he did it pretty crappy this time.. i coudlnt finish watching it, theres a much much better version..

its the one where he called this song prejudice..

the audience was better and his timing etc.

[cheesecake1932]

17 people don't have souls...

[magictrev80]

and dont see wats wrong with ginger people i mean we ainet ginger ninjas if we were yuo wouldnt be taking the piss out of us and blondes i have a friend who is blonod she is smarter than most people 3 years older than her and being black or white it doesnt matter ur the same so dont get anoyed bout being diffrent be proud :)

[JollSSteR]

Why are people proud over stuff they cant control o.O

like race or being born into wealthy families or haircolors or anyhting like that....

You havnt really achieved anything by yourself-

The only reason that Ninjas can sneak up on other ninjas is because they trained, THATS something to be proud about

[smilespazzzz]

ya know a ginger is just a blondie who got stuck in a strawberry

[TheJoe666999]

i was broght here by coppercab!

[JakeTheAppleTaker]

Hahahah put the 'audio transcribe' on! it cant interpret for shit :P

[foxyzee18013626]

[MJlover3307]

[stewilko14]

i was thinkin nigger until he starts saying ginger

[THECOOOLESTLOSER]

@stewilko14 no shit sherlock



[TheRealBarnez]

@stewilko14 That's the point of the song.

[yohdawn]

Now I feel cool that I'm ginger :D

[josestrings]

What is a Ginger, is that like a Ranger? I am a cook, I use Ginger in my food alot and its not red... Its not even burgnundy, surley being called a cummin or a paprika would be more offencive...!? NO....!?

[raynarks]

@josestrings What?

[josestrings]

What is a Ginger, is that like a Ranger? I am a cook, I use Ginger in my food alot and its not red... Its not even burgnundy, surley being called a cummin or a paprika would be more offencive...!? NO....!?

[ballerina2rockerchik]

Yes, everyone, quickly thumbs down the top comments that have the word ginger in them. Don't thumbs up this one, as that would defeat the purpose.

[TheRealBarnez]

@ballerina2rockerchik Clever.. .clever indeed :P But it wont work :L

[Naaaaaaayr]

Don't let the Top Comments spoil the song.

[123rangabanga321]

Tim Minchin was actually trained to be  classic piano musician but gave it up to do this... and thank god he did!!!

[TheKiinan]

ginger is also an anagram of nigger, am i the only one who feels sorry for the letters?

[TheRealBarnez]

@TheKiinan /watch?v=OTtvOHZQYVQ&NR=1&feat­ure=fvwp

Nicely pointed out there... I think only several million other people noticed that.

[raynarks]

@TheKiinan Duh.

[gobbo777]

Gingers for the win!

[xstefferzx]

The audience's reaction enrages me here, because he is absolutely fantastic, and they barely applaud and laugh. Unappreciative idiots.

[sineadmichelle]

There are redheaded girls and there are ginger girls, trust me I'm irish. yes redheaded girls are hot. Ginger girls are like irish albinos.

[jackolanda13]

isnt this song called prejudice?

[nikolllekaj]

@jackolanda13 I know! I thought so.

[jackhold22]

@jackolanda13 don't think so

[LunaeVampire]

If you switch the letters around in the word 'ginger' you get 'nigger' (no offense intended to anyone!) and they're both being prejudiced against! AMAZING! (realization) :D

[rgWordsmith]

@LunaeVampire  That's the point.

[GainingBananas]

@LunaeVampire THATS WHAT I THOUGHT! i didnt know he was talking about Ginger before, and when he said Ginger and not Nigger I was like "Urmm... alright then" XD

[9000PHX]

@LunaeVampire

That's the whole goddamn joke.

[breathlessloveless]

Does think he ever takes a step back and thinks: 'God damn, I'm a genius'?

On another note he has really nice teeth. :D

[matthewrotherham]

the look of self adoration when he uses the ginger bread line is

A) funny as fuck

B) cute as hell

C) i do that after certain lines!

[lizedawg]

its his song... he can call it whatever he bloody likes! :-D

[ViolentPixi]

The song isn't called Taboo. It's called Predujice!!!! :(

[Barendsen2]

@ViolentPixi You know, Tim Minchin seems to disagree that this song is called Prejudice. I mean, he says "Its called taboo" in this video. :)

[ViolentPixi]

@Barendsen2

Youtube Predujice...even HE seems confused about what it's called then

[thedarkmusician]

I laughed so loudly at the ninja line.

[Crazyfilly1010]

as a ginger girl, i find this funny :D me and my friend are ranga 1 and ranga 2 :D

[stinkerlinker2]

The ENTIRE song. I was waiting for the part for him to say nigger. Then I realized that he was talking about ginger o.O

[05lewisb93]

I THOUGHT HE MEANT NIGGER. HAHAHA! but i was wrong... badly wrong.

[snowdrakon]

Audience suck as shit :P

<3 Tim Minchin FTW <3

[goshdangheck]

Gingers unite!!

[Mociex]

Ginger girls: the more rust on the roof, all the more wet basement

[xAbix95]

LOL I'm a ginger and what he's singing about is sooo true! I've had the mick taken out of it since I was about 5 and it used to really upset me, but now I laugh along and I do insult myself. But since hearing this song, it really bugs me when anyone who's not ginger calls me it. Although to be fair, people tend to call me carrot top or say my hair's on fire, which I don't really mind. This man's such a comedy genius.

[jwidja]

what a shit audience



[aNya1127]

@jwidja itz cause this was at The Secret Policeman's Ball was huge, the mikes never could pick up everyone was in the Albert's Hall. Also this was when he wasn't so famous and it was for Amnesty International you didn't know where he was going with it all its only at about 2.16 everyone's gets it, if you see his second peformance everyone was way better

[vanderToki]

Mr Ginger, may the people who has their hair dyed ginger call another ginger ginger? ;)

[Pseudonym655]

@vanderToki as a ginger, i say no.

[xlxsarah]

He's right, once u go ginge u never go bk, my boyfriends ginger, we broke up 4 a while and now we're bk 2gether, his ginger hair pulled me bk 2 him xxxx

[ellafazak]

took me ages to get this!

[sophiesimmonds999]

i loveeeee being a ginger :)

lol the 15 that put thumbs down are prob ging and cant take a joke

haha GING IN DENIAL! :p

[mitsucanter247365]

@sophiesimmonds999 Maybe they are "strawberry blonde" and refuse to be tarred with the same brush?

[nicolaswirth]

15 people misused the "g" word

[jegerkristina]

once you go giiiiing' you can't go back!

- and yes, i am ginger xD

[careyoakes420]

hey im ginger and im a girl

[freakishidiot]

@mrbeanaswell Thank you. Without your comment, I would have been completely ignorant to that. Also, my reply to your comment wouldn't be dripping with sarcasm.

[GemmaD1888]

If the letters were used in the other way this song would be a totaly different story =/ But it's the best song ever my friend sung this to me all day today :P

[lethimlive]

Shit audience.... AWSOME SONG <3

[jegerkristina]

@lethimlive AGREED! They don't laugh nearly as much as they should!

[NachosaurusRex]

Dude, I'd pay him to be his back up guitarrist.

[d07a]

please click the annoying bubble on the right of cc or the left of 240p if you are sick of reading some random bollox fame hoarding slut trying to ruin your fun.

[KelsieBernard]

I am now proud to be ginger. :-)

[creamislush]

PAHAHAHA!

love this song !!!! <3 :')

[kaylehmon]

Haha, he's made up with the "pappa's gonna be bringin home the ginger bread".

Genious

[sarkasmi83]

"...just like only a ninja can sneak up on another ninja." was the last straw that made me roflmao.

[TheScarletPimpaDale]

you too could be ginger if you put in the effort!!!

i know because i was born bold and now Im a ginger!! :D

[maneatingham]

Yeah! Gingers rule!

[ziran70]

"Yeah go ging go motherfucker go!" LMAO XD

[MadeinheavenQueenfan]

This song makes me wish i was ginger :(

[Thezezo1999]

@MadeinheavenQueenfan i am a ginger

[mineshjoshi]

I am viewer 232,232!

[lilcutiebex]

Proudly married to a ginger!

[ZexyZexion]

It's true.

Ritual bullying in the schoolyard.

But we do alright with the ladies.

[Ev3ryUsernamesTaken]

In my opinion tims best song, the way he has us all fooled into thinking the song is something its not. Fuckin hillarious i laughed for ages when it got to bit when he got to the bit when starts on about gingers :L iv got his dvd "Tim Minchin Ready fo this" its fuckin hilarious from beggining to end =]

[sarkasmi83]

@Ev3ryUsernamesTaken Just found his videos, immediately loved his songs. And now I know he has a DVD. Which I MUST obtain. So tnx for accidentally giving me the info I wanted.

[zearfox]

Tim Minchin: Quite possibly the only Ginger with a soul, because you need a soul to be funny

[xxbladebanexx]

I thought the work was 'nigger' when he was spelling it out.

I don't think that was what he was aiming for :P

[octopushcrazy]

@xxbladebanexx that failed on a collosal scale

[cheifguggletram]

@xxbladebanexx Wow. You've completely taken the joke out of the song and made yourself look like a huge idiot. Congratulations.

[LadyLapisLazuli]

@xxbladebanexx That's the joke, love.

[EbonyFaery]

@xxbladebanexx That was the point you fucking doofus.

[xxbladebanexx]

@EbonyFaery I was joking. Thanks for the lulzy rage reaction though, was it seriously not obvious?

[DJMORTYBOI]

14 people are ginger............

[Trisbreya]

I was a ginger by choice, sadly it's not natural =(

[tore650]

@Trisbreya kudos for trying ;) :)

[Trisbreya]

@tore650 Thank you...I hoped to make gingers everywhere proud =p

[GamerPrinceMXZ]

Oh Tim, one of the few gingers i actually like.

[Fatchic45]

Legend. . . !

[smithiesBAM]

[MrFreeman042]

@smithiesBAM no... shit... u moron.

[smithiesBAM]

@MrFreeman042 i know hence the stupid pointing the obvious comment :D i asume your american because you dont understand sarcasm

[MrFreeman042]

@smithiesBAM need a tone of voice for sarcasm. don't work when you type it... still a moron. you would know that if you understood sarcasm.

example A: that was fun.

example B that was fun.

Which is sarcastic...?

yours truly from London.

[lovemac95]
