I just love Tim Minchin! I could watch his songs all day and frequently recommend him to friends and colleagues. Oh to be so intelligent (I prob am tbh), such a talented pianist (maybe one day), and such a brilliant singer (no hope in hell) all in one! Tim, you are a legend in your own lifetime.

Don't dis the kiwi, at least our national animal isn't just enormous roadkill! Besides, I bet you can't extract bugs from a log with nothing but your nose/mouth!
Hey, don't dis the kiwi! I bet you couldn't extract bugs from a tiny hole in a log with nothing but your nose/mouth. Humph, and at least they're better sounding than a fucking cockatoo!
P.S.Tim Minchin=Jesus but without the mental preaching.
The 8 people who gave this a thumbs down need a sense of humour transplant, as their brains are clearly malfunctioning! Either that, or they are Kiwi's who have taken great offence to their species being mocked in such an evil way!
@TheLeisurePirate I'm right behind you! :D He's dreeeeeeeeeeeamy. I love how he laughs. HOW FUCKING ADORABLE!! Hearing him sing stuff like this makes you want him to write a song about you, dunnit?
yes, our birds are useless our kiwi pretty much thinks its a hedgehog. coming out at night , blods around on the ground looking for bugs. but our Kea fucking owns all
OMG fantastic :D i love u tim!! SEX GOD! :o BTW I KEEP LISTNING to this song cannt stop! i have it on my fone! haha so funny btw love the accent so cute :D XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
sorry ment to agree but there wasnt a haha your so rite-the witch in snow whites got nothing on him button so i had to improvise with the down finger becoz my mouse went there somehow :s lool
I just keep replaying the few tiny seconds at the end where he laughs a bit. I'm about to ccross the border of "ordinary fan-land" and walk straight into "STALKER-TOWN!"
I recently moved to stalker town! What part of stalker town are you in! Im on the east bit of TimMinchinIsReallyQuiteAwesomeAndHeIsAReallyDeepGuy street
Gee, there are a more than a few confused people here: Tim Minchin is Australian, appearing here on an Australian TV show. The song is clearly about Alan Brough (hence "I'm Alan, bro") who is the tall New Zealander seen in the background, spotlighted behind the desk. New Zealanders are, of course, sometimes called Kiwis, after the disctinctive flightless NZ bird. Hence the avian puns and also the fruit puns (the latter after the Kiwi Fruit, also named after the bird).
New Zealanders already know all that information, of course, but there were, unsurprisingly, some serious misinterpretations in older comments from further afield.
woah, calm down! its just a song! who givs a f*** about the friggin bird? ps, need a life, if ur gonna do all that research every time u listen 2 a song that isnt politically correct.
I'm astonished that i've managed to prompt such ire. And on a Tim Minchin clip of all things! LOL. It didn't require any research - I remember the original broadcast. I was foolish enough to think that people wouldn't mind a bit more contextual information. Feel the love, brother.
Haha, More Then i have. When i try to talk to my friends about him, their either like "Never herd of him" Or "Yeah i watched the link you sent me, he sucks" I hate my friends. They are into stupid screemy death metal shit. where they strum on a guitar over and over, and beat a drum set to death, and scream in the Mic until the 3 minute mark is reached.
Yeah idk he just started in Australia and then went to the UK but it seems like most of his career has been in the UK, he is australian after all. I just watched him live in Geelong it was awesome!
He lives in Australia. He moved from New Zealand to Australia. Notice the heavy New Zealand accent? Thus, he is *from* New Zealand. It's like an American who moves to China. You wouldn't say they're from China.
no the bird was from New Zealand, Tim was born in perth, West Australia, although he did move to london, and more recently New york... Or vice versa, i've seen several interviews, but i'm not sure wich ones were later than others
hes talking about the guy in the red shirt, alan brough. Tim had to make a song about him and the only thing that he knew about him was that he was tall and from new zealand.
hahaha no it is slightly, like... "obsolete wings" "poky probiscus", but actually its just making fun of alan brough lol by comparing him to a kiwi :P
he is from new zealand. people can move from countries you see, so he was born in new zealand and grew up there, then this is the tricky part, he moved to australia! holy shit thats complex
My dad's a 6 foot 4 kiwi! :O
Sadly i'm never gonna be that tall...
