@thecrookedman Nothing much, just a lovely cake and some time with family and my boyfriend. Enough for me :) Yes he was fantastic, such a funny bloke! So quick witted. I'd recommend him to anybody
@usernamealredytaken you are a dumb motherfucker hes british not canadian and jim carey, and mike meyers and plenty of other hollywood actors are canadian
he's a one liner comedian and they are very cleverly thought of. he also delivers them very well which is why he is so popular in the uk.
i tried watching brian regan and didn't laugh once. american comedy is very different to british. we have a dry sense of humor, more witty rather than slapstick.
The Chinaman in the family joke was done by Tommy Cooper back in the Seventies. I still generally like Tim Vine, though. He should just resist the temptation to plagiarize.
On Tim Vine's dvd he talks about people believing part of his act belonged to Tommy Cooper but it wasn't actually true. Is there a video of Tommy Cooper performing that joke?
After reading up on the subject further, it may appear that a malicious lie has been perpetuated regarding Tim Vine using Tommy Cooper material. According to certain blogs and sources, a Vine joke was copied and pasted onto a Cooper blog but the words "Mr Vine" were carelessly left in. I will not remove my previous comment since it serves as an example of how easily we can all be misled by so-called "facts".
Ok, well that was good of you to find out the truth. On the Tim Vine Live Dvd Tim actually says large amounts of his material has been wrongly attributed to different people through the internet. He didn't seem overly bothered by this, using the quote "There is no limit to what one man can achieve as long as he doesn't mind who gets the
credit". He added he could at least take heart from the fact that people found his jokes funny.
the gambling joke was a one liner i think. he quickly added the next 2 lines cos the crowd was way too slow to pick it up. thats what i call quick wit!
Tim Vine is wayyyyy underrated. Wasted on Not Going Out - his real forte is stand up or anything involving just him - because he's got the natural timing and personality to just be funny-as himself and thats the best compliment anyone could wish for really! His two DVDs are the best - both over an hour long each and yet neither duplicating the other. Quite a feat for such rapid fire joke-packed performances really. Like Tommy Cooper you dont care if youve heard them before - theyre still great!
No this is Just For Laughs. Not his own show. This is the world's greatest comedy festival. (seriously, not just saying that. It was decided.) Many comedians and performers go here every year to entertain millions.
Thumbs down? Ahhh it's probably because he isn't swearing every other word. You have to these days, unfortunately. They say Tommy Cooper was one of the funniest comics ever? Well Tommy would have loved this stuff. Tim is funny. And clean. Refreshing. You name one other funny comedian who doesn't use the EFF word all the way through the act?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
excuse me but im not thick.. but i dont find his pathetic, endless one liners which he has clearly just memorised from joke books that amusing.. especially as i have heard his same act for bloody years now! ..yea ok, so he has a few funny moments, but generally i think hes shite
just coz someone might not have same taste in comedy as you, doesnt make them simpletons! your assumption that people may not understand his jokes implies that you think they are intellectual in some way.. hahaa.. hardly!! ..maybe you had trouble deciphering a few of his lines of 'genius' :S ..come on.. i think you need to watch some real comedians who can do better than endless one liners!
I saw this on just for laughs before him was gordie brown and before that Carlos mencia defanatly one of the best comedy shows I have ever seen especially gordie brown
