5 Poofs and 2 Pianos by Tim Minchin

[ShadyGuy779]

i have a piano

[ba3cool]

Is that Quentin Tarantino on the couch behind the other 4 poofs?

[f34rgus]

@ba3cool Nope - Jamie Cullum (singer)

[FutureAbe]

@f34rgus and boy george

[GreNadeMusicNL]

he sounds a bit like a cross between weird al and james blunt :P

[TheRealHumMyName]

The top comments are the same.... again.... =.="

[reckless120]

did he rhyme 'adoption' with 'adopt them'?

[walenski2404]

No offence, Timbo but you sold out. Next station is Nundah and of course,snorting God only knows what from the top of Keith Richards' bottom. (what rhymes with...).

[freeburn9]

im from berwick un tweed!!!



[0zeagle]

Most musicians or comedians would be delighted to write a piece this lyrically clever and funny for their show. To write this for a single performance on television is just showing off!

[savetheguineaworm]

Ok, what's amazing here is that the advertisement I had to sit through before watching this was a Republican add attacking Newt for being too liberal. Seriously people, that is funny.

[KateawesomePrussia]

cure a man of trouser love and turn him onto skirt XDDD

[Carnifexism]

How does he not laugh while doing this xD

[PittSpeedy]

You are so amazing Tim! Amazing lyricist, amazing singer and amazing musician. *RESPECT* Always stay this awesome!!!

[VeroniqueCG]

I actually can't get enough of this. It is truly wonderful and has everything you could possibly want in a comedy song. You are very good Tim Minchin and I appreciate you more than I can express.

I am pleased to say I trod the same streets as you in Subi - though many years before. I am pretty old and you warm my heart! Clever lyricing, mate.

[wcefan100]

AUSSIE! AUSSIE! AUSSIE! OI! OI! OI!

[green9168]

A truly original concept indeed.



[xpinkxladie]

I know all the words haha <3

[MissJazzParrot]

41 people CAN have too many pianos...

[hobopobo]

@looneytoohey

hes an Aussie, so no, WE get all the best comedians

[hobopobo]

im just saiyan :D

[CalebSaysI]

He sounds like james blunt

[nanagirl1976]

What's a poof?

[WhatKindOfNameNow]

@nanagirl1976 It's slang for an effeminate or homosexual man. It's more often used in Britain than America as far as I know.

[nanagirl1976]

@WhatKindOfNameNow Ohhhh ok!! I'm in Canada, but still have never heard of it! LOL! The song makes more sense now though! Thanks! :o)

[looneytoohey]

Brilliant - you Brits get all the best comedy :)

[Slench101]

tim minchin best anti-depressive ever

[VeroniqueCG]

@Slench101 I couldn't agree more. Bloody brilliant and as irreverent as he can possibly be. He lifts my heart|!!!!:-)

[Vamp61616]

Tim you are adorable and funny and clever and please adopt me. Please. You'd be the best dad ever.

[Hetric111]

Love Tim, i think he works harder than most comedians! No matter how many songs he makes they're always origanl and funny. <3

[EmmaPocketsize]

Everyone check out prejudice by Tim minchin

It's frigging hilarious!

[Covcityrule]

Obviously the 37 dislikes are all homophobes!

[melovestimmy]

its the hair!

[MrMickthemonster]

LOL a trio of pianos and a big gay half dozen!

[itballifier]

I've never even realized before, at the start he uses infer instead of imply :( very disappointing

[KewoKiwi]

If Tim was gay, he'd be the hottest gay guy ever <3.

[heffejam]

37 prefer a trio of pianos and a big gay half dozen

[bryangrice87]

best line ever =D

why settle for a quartet of queers

when there's a possibility of a penta-poofter-piano-possey here

[ukswiftshot]

i live on the isle of wight!!! xD

[dinosaurcheeses]

@ukswiftshot And I'm from Hull... I've not written any letters lately though xD

[XGOD3210]

1:47 the way he says "revolution" sounds like a a different song which I cant put my finger on...

[united623]

I like that Ninja he's got, Oh thats the dislike bar.

[sekirk]

how could you cut this guy

[katiewookie1]

Tim Minchin is DEFINITELY my weird crush :-) think it's the fact that he's SO FUNNY that makes him so sexy...plus I've always had a penchant for guyliner!!!!

[parvanaturalia]

@katiewookie1 Honestly, I've been thinking we should lead a worldwide campaign for more guys with guyliners. There's a potential goldmine right there. All us guyliner loving girls should do the trick in getting more men to wear it.

[BenjiBarkerIsNomore]

Please tell me I'm not the only one who finds him really awkwardly sexy... .-.

[HellsLeeWay]

@BenjiBarkerIsNomore Haha, no... ;)

[fruitylightbulb]

surely the word "poof" should follow the same grammatical rule as the wordv"hoof", therefore being "5 pooves and 2 pianos". ;)

[parvanaturalia]

@fruitylightbulb Pretty sure it follows the proof rule. Proof = proofs, poof = poofs. Also, the plural for hoof can also be hoofs. Both hoofs and hooves are correct, if I'm not mistaken.

[SteMail926]

even though 4 poofs and two pianos arn't on wossy anymore, this is still friggin hilarious

[xpinkxladie]

I love this song!!!! I love this guy!!

[TheLordStu]

37 Daily Mail employees disliked this

[wcefan100]

what are the chords for this?

[liammccabe05]

100% more pianos and 25% more gays. Lol.

[MrDandpFTW]

I thought he said he shouldn't go over 3 minutes? :D

[AusJaz5072]

37 people are poofs.

[WhackjobAPB]

What the hell is a poof?

[Ookami1123]

@WhackjobAPB A homosexual. It's British slang.

[WhackjobAPB]

@Ookami1123 Much appreciated! *hat tip*

[TheHaileybop13]

is he a girl

[KeithDuffyLove]

Is it wrong that I know ALL the words to this and sing it LITERALLY everywhere? People just catch me singing it during lessons and are like, wtf?..

[KapStuf]

@Vervloet90 I had the same thought. I think the chorus has the same chord structure.

[63kickass]

@kickass63isepic wtf are you my #1 fan or some thing?

[CharlieeChaos666]

37 people don't understand Tim Minchin.

[TheOveruseOfMetaphor]

The dislike bar is practically invisible.

[QofLife69]

tim minchin is truly a genius

[silentbob82]

Anyone who can include the phrase 'Penta-poofter-piano-posse' in a song is an utter genius!

[Frozenkoldfury]

@silentbob82 Penta-poofter-piano-posse. Try saying that 10 times faster than he does.

[WackoLlama]

The red bar from dislikes is like Lady Gaga's Penis, It's only small but it shouldn't be there.

[iwannanumber]

@WackoLlama You mean Justin Beiber's?

[JackobusPhantom]

OK, don't understand the even number of homosexuals joke. Please enlighten me

[xPixiRose137x]

@JackobusPhantom Well, when a man loves another man very much they have a special cuddle... ;)

[JackobusPhantom]

@xPixiRose137x

Hahaha what is this heathen behaviour of which you speak?! :P

No, I get that, but 4 is 2 lots of 2 right? So wheres the problem?

[xPixiRose137x]

@JackobusPhantom So there are 2 pairs! :L It's not so much a problem, it's more that he's saying he thinks they have 'special cuddles' a lot :P

[RidersWhoRide]

@JackobusPhantom I think that's the exact problem... too much umm... cuddling...

[rubbishrider861]

@RidersWhoRide woah... you really have changed your tune... you were complaining about this guy on another vid just this morning, and now your explaining jokes to people??!! (well done tim!!)

[RidersWhoRide]

@rubbishrider861 ahha, yeah, i know! (oops, the last comment was supposed to be for @xPixiRose137x ) fail!

[KapStuf]

@JackobusPhantom Something about...pairing off.

[Huggy1988Bear]

haha class

[jenifereckles]

Campaign following shortly to put Tim Minchin on UK TV permanently <3

[gherkinfantastic]

I am so attracted to Tim Minchin. I don't know if it's because he's got that red hair, I DON'T KNOW UGHHH

[BigBadNightWolf]

@gherkinfantastic ITS THA HAIIRRRRRRR

[hannah171770]

@gherkinfantastic He's just so freakin cute :3

[littlemisswelder]

@gherkinfantastic Probably because he's gorgeous, his makeup is sexy as all get-out and he's a critical thinker with a sense of humour. I don't know about you but it's a combination I rarely find in men these days *sigh*

[TheDrezden42]

@gherkinfantastic I would sincerely like to know how many of the 92 likes are, in fact, men.

[noreasonforaccount]

@gherkinfantastic are you serious that he has red hair? looks brown to me, but colourblind meh. you're probably right

[deadsound89]

@noreasonforaccount he does have a song about being a ginger =P

[noreasonforaccount]

@deadsound89 whats it called?

[rthompson39]

@noreasonforaccount Prejudice

[deadsound89]

@noreasonforaccount Predudice

[QofLife69]

i like the way Jonathan pronounces his r's for some reason.

[MrBeggs13]

@UnspecifiedCarnage its just the fact he's heard of it lol because its a shit hole thats why its something to be proud of lol

[Tyrale2011]

1:54 Best part.

[MrBeggs13]

haha cant believe he mentioned berwick :)

[UnspecifiedCarnage]

@MrBeggs13 It's only because Tweed rhymes with Leeds, and is that anything to be proud of? ;)

[hettyu]

Absolutely genius! :-D

[adiostom]

LOVE THIS! :)

[cakeismybestfriend]

Does he not like wearing shoes when he sings and plays the piano?

[bentricky]

@cakeismybestfriend He never does! Watch more of his videos.

[melkyrion]

@bentricky shoes are overrated anyway:-)

[thedeadlystoat]

@cakeismybestfriend You must be new here ;)

[EmilyCompton1996]

I think Tim Minchin and 4 poofs and a piano should busk all together :D x

[cheese34763928756]

Why, WHY do I always watch this when I should be doing homework? I end up watching an hours worth of Tim Minchin!!

[tegoran]

@cheese34763928756 only an hours worth?

[hannah171770]

@cheese34763928756 that's so what I'm doing!

[SuperSmashyfication]

@cheese34763928756 An hour's worth of Tim Minchin? With today's Minchin to Time exchange rates, you're only gonna get one song.

[SirSaintFunk]

@cheese34763928756

You have no idea how many times it happens to me :D

[pigfarts100]

@cheese34763928756 coz that's what the cool kids do :D

[Iroflpuurikzelf]

I love the dislike bar.

[Jankin47]

I'm gay myself and while I think Tim is adorable, but I don't see him as a piece of meat. I see him as a very talented and educated performer who happens to be cute. Also, I wasn't even aware that poof meant gay. I will now go out of my way to use the word poof.

[claireglendenning1]

@chilit. Yeah good point :) I would like to think most people who watch Tim Minchin are educated enough to know that Tim doesn't have to be gay to sing a song about it. It's just these morons who are insecure/immature about their own sexuality who feel the need to comment. I adore Tim because he makes some very good statements about equality through comedy. It just gets my goat when people think just because people are married they are straight.

[claireglendenning1]

Tim Minchin isn't gay. Yes, he's married to a woman. Just a quick reminder folks that being married or not with kids bares no reference to being gay/straight. Gay people CAN get married and they're NOT infertile. Get with the times people. PS TIm rocks!

[Chillit67]

@claireglendenning1 Yeah, he kind of mentions he isn't gay in the song... If we're watching Tim Minchin, chances are we're educated enough to know at least a bit about homosexuality. 

[littlesouthpaw]

I love Tim Minchin! I think it's awesome that he plays the piano with naked feet :p haha

[H15T0RYR3P34T5]

I can't believe this song has less dislikes than White Wine...odd.

[guepardomorado88]

I want a penta-poofter-piano-posse too!

[dancingzira]

maybe I would find this funny if I knew what a poof was.

[ExtremePersuasion]

@dancingzira I'm glad I'm not the only one.

[MsKerenyi]

@dancingzira

I would think that the rest of the lyrics would make it self-explanatory, but 'poof' or 'poofter' is slang for a homosexual.

[DaveTheBunny]

@kvnpry Dude, chill the fuck out.

[io504]

@kvnpry Little aggressive don't ya think?

[Daxim101]

@kvnpry That's a little OTT, don't you think? Just because the person doesn't know what poof means, doesn't necessarily mean that they're a retarded freak. In any case, I'm pretty sure almost nobody was infuriated by that comment.

[kvnpry]

@Daxim101 Yes it was OTT, it wasn't a little aggressive but very much so.

I guess vodka + wine + Youtube don't mix.

@dancingzira, I apologise.

[RainFlame]

@kvnpry Oh wow, calm down.

[zammer990]

four lovely guys and me o r g s a m

i know its spelt wrong but its only one letter off

[xRubberNinjax]

i love how the song i listened to was in time with the peter kay add that i muted :P just a little bit of magic to brighten up my day...

[LittleMissMiffy]

Oh, I can imagine something a little more disgusting than that. But youtube probably wouldn't (and shouldn't) allow me to post it. Anyway, the four poofs are laughing, so obviously they understand something, and it is more funny than disgusting.

[22LunarBell]

awwww i love jamie cullum, sooo cute. and not forgetting tim

[LittleMissMiffy]

Ok, so the point is that my own imagination should fill out the gaps. Only problem is that I have a really disgusting imagination. Eeeew...

[MogensenKristian]

@LittleMissMiffy maybe its just the 90210 problem... you never know who's banging who ^^ - fail to see how that's disgusting though

[cookieflower]

Hah there was an ad before the video for "Catholic Match", uniting gay-haters across America.

[LittleMissMiffy]

Perhaps I am unimaginative, but what is the problem that you'll face with an even number of homosexuals?

[00angel4200]

@LittleMissMiffy At least you are brave enough to ask. I had the same thought, but that was instantly followed by another thought saying "wait, I'm not sure I want to know".

[HighlandChicken]

@LittleMissMiffy If you look at his face, you can see that he doesn't know what he's talking about

[bekcs]

@HighlandChicken yeah, i agree with you. hes just doing that funny thing with the non-rhyme!!

[bowen971]

He is bent really he's just in the closet COME OUT TIM ITS FINE BEING GAY IS FINE !!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

[pigfarts100]

penta-poofta-piano-posse i want one. :D

[drunkenape13]

I love how he is always bare foot xD

[Sozzie16MJ]

I want a motherfucking penta-poofta-piano-posse. Now please, Tim. :3

[ExplicitSimplicity]

Hahaha Poofer!

[luclfersangel616]

Why would anyone ever settle for a quartet of queers? Especially if the penta-poofter piano posse is up for grabs. Silly homo's, need to learn their maths!

[muffin8or123]

Such lyrical prowess :) Can't wait for Tim to come back to London for a full gig now that I'm old enough :)

[ougybearscruffles]

@MeStevenFram arguing over the spelling of poofter... thats just gay

[floomification]

tim minchin is my favourite person in the world. that is all.

[ktjanzen42]

Can never have too many pianos... or too much MAN. So true lol.

[bekcs]

Haha, the google sponsered ad that popped up said "Piano Removers"

[blahblahblah890100]

@bekcs i had an ad for yellowtail and it started off with just the kangaroo. Get it? because he's australian?

[SuperSmashyfication]

@bekcs Huh... All i got was an ad for bourbon.

[hollabooiers]

@bekcs They clearly haven't heard one can never have too many pianos. Or too much man.

[ElRihno]

Can't see the dislike bar. :D

[TheAtheologian]

@ElRihno It's a ninja. You know it has to be there, but you cannot detect it no matter how hard you try...

[bekcs]

love the piano part around 3:06=3:17!!

[xRubberNinjax]

@bekcs i like it when he says "5 poofs and 2 pianos" :)

[88Doofus]

@bekcs

I like the piano part and the singing part around 0:00 and 3:54

[DaBigChalk1991]

Jan moir would be frothing at the mouth. Brilliant

[thegoldenut]

31 people are uncomfortable with their sexuality

[gemma5632]

He's amazing, i love Tim Minchin. What a star!!

[zammer990]

Did anyone else get the joke at 0:14

One of the best in the whole song

[filtzlausrs]

Ich liebe seinen Sarkasmus! (Translate Google - Germen - English :D)

[filtzlausrs]

@filtzlausrs I love my sarcasm

[tomtomnavigatie]

Okay I'm stuck on this for days and feel I'm looking past something quite obvious...

But what is the problem you're inevitably having with an even number of homosexuals? :P

[LennyFrost1988]

@tomtomnavigatie Rofl, i'm having the same problem. Been stuck in my head for days and just cant figure it out haha.

[kairakia]

@tomtomnavigatie @LennyFrost1988

I assumed that it would be that they would hook up. If there's an even number then they can get together in couples, whereas an odd number means one person is left without a partner. I may be totally wrong, of course. Anyone think anything different?

[SuperSmashyfication]

@tomtomnavigatie You need a fifth guy to watch for the BNP?

[bdufka]

I'm from Poland and I just don't get the "poofs".. what does he mean?

[TheTramsmit]

@bdufka it's an offensive slang for Gay
