Tim admitted that this song was pretty much bullying and he doesn't sing it anymore. :( he totally should!
Ok there may be cases when it's NOT the overweight person's fault. Healthy food has been proven to be much more expensive than junk. People with cœliac disease gain weight. Or hey, giving birth to 2-3 kids does the trick! Etc. But obesity? No! Obesity = gluttony + laziness.
@segjulie Well it is their fault really, the amount of people who work their ARSE off to get their figure back after a baby! My mum is 41 and it took her 6 weeks to get her figure back after my baby sister haha, which is QUICK!! Space the births out, don't have 3 kids in 5 years my god. You should space them out for disease-detecting reasons anyway (autism for example). It's easier to eat an apple than drive to maccas I think everyone would agree too haha.
@OneStarRatingLTD Then stop? It's basic science, either you stop, or your body will stop you. That's a 100% proven fact sir lol :P. May aswell make the decision soon, instead of trying to find someone that will love you "for who you are", we're genetically programmed to avoid those who look unhealthy in anyway, if you were slim as fuck but bright yellow people will steer away cause they don't want offspring with liver disease :P.
This is exactly what's so amazing about Tim Minchin, he knows how to get an important message across in a very funny way. Tim Minchin is a genius ahead of his time, I would dare say.
I've listened to all of Tim's songs so many times i barely laugh anymore, but i keep coming back cause he's not just a comedian. Every song has such a beautiful tone and rhythm, it all flows together perfectly. Honestly Tim's as high on the list for me as Elton John
@jem199068 Did you miss the fact that this song was sort of saying that the kids are that way because of their parents?
Don't hate children for being the way their parents taught them and ALLOWED them to be. Parents are responsible for teaching their children and taking care of them. If they're older than 10, sure, you can be annoyed with them, but otherwise...no.
@sarahwa7 Probably from the growing obesity rates of America and Britain... he was probably trying to make us understand not to be as greedy as we are... cause we're dipshits who don't understand how to think of other countries and give them what they need and what we don't :)
My god this is a fucking awesome song lol. I grew up fat, still a goddamn fatty but I'm 73lbs down, it took me this long to realize there's no excuses.
I love this song. The message is amazing, and some people dislike it because it's so abrassive, but this passive approach of being nice and caring to issues hasn't been working well. Solution? BOOMBALADA MOTHERFUCKER!
i work at a coffee store here in canada and it makes me sick the amount of obese people that come through our drive through and buy their kids or their grand kids 2 or 3 doughnuts each! im not skinny myself but never, ever would i think to feed a kid that many in one sitting. yeah give them one ever so often as a treat,but not all the time :s and the only reason im over weight is cause im lazy lol
@chiffmonkey I agree that a lot of them are, and I have laughed along with them. I do not believe this one is though.
This is for granting good old shame down to the center of the listeners jiggely butt. The laughter strengthens the shame since you laugh for a moment and then realize "Dang that flubbery blob is my kid"
Then again I love shame. Shame is so important to have, give and take. Reasonable doses sure, but it's what allows us to enjoy ourselves without annoying everybody.
There is a difference between an adult being overweight by their own choice but a parent should try and keep their child at a regular weight, just like they should try and stop them breaking their bones or catching diseases. It's part of keeping your child healthy and alive.
@outnabout26 Finally! somebody who also thinks it should be endomorph :D (i've said it once but was then shunned by somebody who didn't know what endo/ectomorph was).
My brothers are overweight yet my mom keeps bringing them home brownies, Hot Pockets, pizza, french fries and all sorts of crap. They have low self-esteem and I can see their complexes forming right in front of my eyes but I still can't convince my mom to stop. I'm going to have to play this song for her soon.
I feel sorry for those kids. Adults who do not take proper care of their children and doesn't make sure they don't get taught to follow a self-destructive lifestyle shouldn't be allowed to have them.
@bluestocking9 It's about stigmatizing dumbass parents who allow their children to become morbidly obese, through neglect and setting a poor example. People who won't force their kids to live healthy lifestyles just shouldn't be parents. And people whose kids are obese need to get a clue and try to get their kids on the right track. Self-acceptance is important, but we should never be tolerant of people who inflict unhealthy lifestyles and attitudes on children.
@ktjanzen42 I'm not in disagreement with that. I feel like there's the assumption here that fat=incredibly unhealthy and eating nothing but fried donuts. And honestly, I think there are a lot of things that parents do besides what they feed their children that we should focus our energy on changing.
@bluestocking9 "so I'm crazy in love with tim minchin...but fo reals? WHY WE GOTTA STIGMATIZE FAT PEOPLE? especially children...."
If you listen, he is actually criticizing people who feed their children vast amounts of junk food and thereby condemn them to various forms of ill-health.
I have an issue with the thing people who learn to eat poorly from their parents develop is the idea that they can do what they want to their own bodies and that it isn't hurting anyone.
Why, no. All that deforestation has nothing to do with paper and everything to do with meat farming these days. Where do you think all the dead cow that fat people put away comes from? The magical Animal Flesh Land?
well, he says that, but its not always everyones fault that they are fat, I'm fifteen, and have a BMI of 35. I admit its my fault, and I am goign to lengths to lose weight. they may not be the best Idea, but I only want to lose 4 or 5 stone, it'll take hardly any time.
@mrgerardwaysgirl Honey, if you're only 15 and you're 70lbs overweight, it IS your parents fault. However, don't do something stupid just to be thin. It's not "only" 4 or 5 stone. It's the equivalent of a 7 year old child. Take it easy, don't try to do it over night and STAY HEALTHY. Better to be fat and alive than thin and dead. It took you YEARS to gain the weight. It will take about the same amount of time to lose it.
@ciaochowbella Thankyou, but at the end of the day it was me that was shoving food down my throat, I guess so, but on a programme here theres someone whos lost a stone in a week. there's so much pressure to be skinny in the media and everywhere :/.
@mrgerardwaysgirl No, dear heart, at the end of the day, your parents ARE responsible for you.
As for losing 15 lbs a week, that's a crash diet and it's utter madness. Not only will you most likely gain it all back, but most likely 20% more. Don't even start down that road, love.
Best bet, eat healthy, fresh, unprocessed foods.....none of those frozen diet things.....and exercise. Making yourself sick to fit into society is not mentally or physically a smart move.
@ciaochowbella mmm. yeah, I think you're right, I've recently been diagnosed with depression too, so I think that might be a contributing factor to why I want to lose weight so quickly, thankyou.
@mrgerardwaysgirl Sweetie, stay healthy, be happy and enjoy your life. TRUST ME, appearances that seem SO important as a teen are just not that important for the rest of your life. Cultivate friendships with people who see your inner beauty. I think most teens are depressed because it's just that time of life....hang in there, darling...you're golden.
@ciaochowbella Thankyou so much! its not the usual "depression" its severe depression or something, and I have to go on medication, I am in the process of doing that, you are too, thankyou :) x
Tim Minchin is brilliant.....BUT..... shouldn't that be "mesomorph" (rounded body type) and not "ectomorph" (thin body type)? Don't wish to spoil the party.
@andrback....ectomorph used here as many fast people say that they are skinny really but just can't seem to lose weight. Think Cartman in South park...i'm not fat...I'm big boned
Hell, I'm fat, but I know it's my own damn fault, and if I had a kid I wouldn't let him eat nothing but junk food. Working at a convenience store, I saw a woman who took her 10-11 VERY obese daughter to the store every night I worked and bought a gallon of milk and a butt-load of pastries and candy. Pissed me off something awful.
@popejimbo1 Oh shit, I did use double negatives. Sorry about that, I'm a bit of a grammar Nazi, and I usually don't never use double negatives unless I'm doing it to make a joke. :P
THE WORKERS WILL RISE AGAIN, CAPITALIST PIG! ONCE WE BRING STALIN BACK FROM THE GRAVE, YOU WILL STAND NO CHANCE AGAINST US AND OUR UNHEALTHY SNACK-FOODS.
@SuperSmashyfication See, the difference between your joke and Minchins is that his reflects and obvious concern. He really cares that these kids are effectively abused by their irresponsible parents. Whereas you just like putting down fat people.
@WalterLiddy Actually I do care about fat kids. Thanks for your internet psychology though. Seeing as you know so much about me, what are my political views? What do I think of pop music? How many people live in my house? Help, I need a lecture from a Youtube cop!
@SuperSmashyfication Well, I can say with confidence that you are dimwitted. I based my comments on what you wrote, not on what I imagined you to be like. Nobody claimed to be a cop. Your joke was designed to berate and belittle. In that it contrasts with Minchins, so I'm just calling you out on fancying yourself in some way kindred of his spirit. The fact that his joke contains elements that might be misconstrued as offensive is not permission to make hateful comments.
@WalterLiddy Of course I am dimwitted, because you say so. I intended my joke as just that: a JOKE. It is wordplay, as well as a parody of the basic 'these things I hate about X', in that it only had the one thing described as 3. Honestly, I wouldn't expect a 5-year old to have trouble with that bit. And I do not consider myself to be like Tim in any way other than that we both clearly have a better understanding of comedy than you. Not too difficult.
Also, parents should try to limit the tendency their children may develop to heal their psychological problems with food (comfort) and make them face their problems sometimes. Education is really important when it comes to food AND life, so many people are just not taking care of kids at all because they are so sweet and innocent and can grow up on their own. And people should be educated about extreme diets, they'll make you fatter in the end. Just learn to eat properly, you'll lose weight
@RandomStrixAluco naturally. Our societies have a big problem with food, we encourage people to overeat just because it makes profit and we no longer teach them about what to eat. It's important to eat everything (though, meat isn't necessary if you replace it with a bigger quantity of some vegetables, etc and milk is unhealthy). Health issues creating obesity are sometimes linked to what you eat and take (medicine), it messes with your body permanently. I have hormonal issues and was overfed
@RandomStrixAluco as a child (premature baby plus psychological issues dealth with food) and I am no longer fat because I have learned to eat everything without being ashamed and to cook for myself. I eat less and better because it became a pleasure rather than a habit and I listen to my body needs.
It's really is a matter of education in many cases.
@andrback maybe you should stop trusting what you first here you could have easily just miss heard cause if you say them both then they sound alot like each other
Despite this being one of my favourite songs, I've always wondered why he uses the word "ectomorph" at 1:07 to describe a fat person. Ectomorph happens to be the word to describe the skinny body type. The word for a fat body type is endomorph, and could be easily used instead, since it rhymes with ectomorph.
This is pretty much what I tell my fat friends... and the skinny one's too. Especially after I was watching my friends little 90 pound 6 year old sister panting while eating 2 ice creams.
I was listening to this in headphones at work trying to keep quiet, but as soon as he said "Your 6 year-old minieture Jabba the Hutt" I just burst out laughing. People were staring for a while after that.
The buffet at pizza hut is fantastic in fairness, as much pizza and garlic bread as your face can manage, plus salad for the weird people (only kiddin, but for me if it didn't walk and taste of bloody horror it's inferior). I'm slightly drunk by the way, but only just under two pints, which in Mitchell and Webb terms means I'm eligable to rule the World.
I keep thinking how much Michelle Obama would like this and how much she could use this in her campaign, if she could get past the Minchinosity of it.
@123runaround He's crying out to lazy parents who feed their children shit food, trying to wake them up to the reality that their actions are going to be extremely detrimental to their children's health and well-being. What group of people could possibly disagree with this message enough to give it a thumbs down? Lazy people who eat shit food...aka fat people...well, fat, stupid people. Fat people could certainly agree with this as well. What part of the message did I miss exactly?
@BAY868 Well, there are plenty of lazy people who are skinny (somehow!) who eat shit food, too. Fat doesn't necessarily mean unhealthy unless it's really bad, and unhealthy certainly doesn't mean fat all the time. Generalizing is usually not very smart.
Healthy at Every Size (HAES) is a movement worth looking into. Or, you know, ignorance is fun, too.
But yes, the general message that feeding your kids bad food is bad is an important one to spread.
Tim admitted that this song was pretty much bullying and he doesn't sing it anymore. :( he totally should!
Ok there may be cases when it's NOT the overweight person's fault. Healthy food has been proven to be much more expensive than junk. People with cœliac disease gain weight. Or hey, giving birth to 2-3 kids does the trick! Etc. But obesity? No! Obesity = gluttony + laziness.

Tim Minchin is brilliant.....BUT..... shouldn't that be "mesomorph" (rounded body type) and not "ectomorph" (thin body type)? Don't wish to spoil the party.

@novadrian Endomorph is actually the rounded body type but you are right that ectomorph is the thin body type.

TweekDash, thank you for spelling "doughnuts" correctly.

@professor2442 There is no correct way to spell "doughnuts". Just like "color" and "colour" are both correct, so are "donut" and "doughnut".

@TheBrainPulse
Doughnuts are nut-shaped things made of dough, so that spelling makes sense. The other spelling is just lazy.

@andrback....ectomorph used here as many fast people say that they are skinny really but just can't seem to lose weight. Think Cartman in South park...i'm not fat...I'm big boned

Hell, I'm fat, but I know it's my own damn fault, and if I had a kid I wouldn't let him eat nothing but junk food. Working at a convenience store, I saw a woman who took her 10-11 VERY obese daughter to the store every night I worked and bought a gallon of milk and a butt-load of pastries and candy. Pissed me off something awful.

There are three things I hate about fatties: their chins.
SuperSmashyfication 4 months ago 151
@SuperSmashyfication See, the difference between your joke and Minchins is that his reflects and obvious concern. He really cares that these kids are effectively abused by their irresponsible parents. Whereas you just like putting down fat people.
WalterLiddy 3 months ago
@WalterLiddy Actually I do care about fat kids. Thanks for your internet psychology though. Seeing as you know so much about me, what are my political views? What do I think of pop music? How many people live in my house? Help, I need a lecture from a Youtube cop!
SuperSmashyfication 3 months ago 2
@SuperSmashyfication Well, I can say with confidence that you are dimwitted. I based my comments on what you wrote, not on what I imagined you to be like. Nobody claimed to be a cop. Your joke was designed to berate and belittle. In that it contrasts with Minchins, so I'm just calling you out on fancying yourself in some way kindred of his spirit. The fact that his joke contains elements that might be misconstrued as offensive is not permission to make hateful comments.
WalterLiddy 2 months ago
@WalterLiddy Of course I am dimwitted, because you say so. I intended my joke as just that: a JOKE. It is wordplay, as well as a parody of the basic 'these things I hate about X', in that it only had the one thing described as 3. Honestly, I wouldn't expect a 5-year old to have trouble with that bit. And I do not consider myself to be like Tim in any way other than that we both clearly have a better understanding of comedy than you. Not too difficult.

Also, parents should try to limit the tendency their children may develop to heal their psychological problems with food (comfort) and make them face their problems sometimes. Education is really important when it comes to food AND life, so many people are just not taking care of kids at all because they are so sweet and innocent and can grow up on their own. And people should be educated about extreme diets, they'll make you fatter in the end. Just learn to eat properly, you'll lose weight
RandomStrixAluco 4 months ago
@RandomStrixAluco naturally. Our societies have a big problem with food, we encourage people to overeat just because it makes profit and we no longer teach them about what to eat. It's important to eat everything (though, meat isn't necessary if you replace it with a bigger quantity of some vegetables, etc and milk is unhealthy). Health issues creating obesity are sometimes linked to what you eat and take (medicine), it messes with your body permanently. I have hormonal issues and was overfed
RandomStrixAluco 4 months ago
@RandomStrixAluco as a child (premature baby plus psychological issues dealth with food) and I am no longer fat because I have learned to eat everything without being ashamed and to cook for myself. I eat less and better because it became a pleasure rather than a habit and I listen to my body needs.
It's really is a matter of education in many cases.

Despite this being one of my favourite songs, I've always wondered why he uses the word "ectomorph" at 1:07 to describe a fat person. Ectomorph happens to be the word to describe the skinny body type. The word for a fat body type is endomorph, and could be easily used instead, since it rhymes with ectomorph.

The buffet at pizza hut is fantastic in fairness, as much pizza and garlic bread as your face can manage, plus salad for the weird people (only kiddin, but for me if it didn't walk and taste of bloody horror it's inferior). I'm slightly drunk by the way, but only just under two pints, which in Mitchell and Webb terms means I'm eligable to rule the World.

123runaround 5 months ago
@123runaround He's crying out to lazy parents who feed their children shit food, trying to wake them up to the reality that their actions are going to be extremely detrimental to their children's health and well-being. What group of people could possibly disagree with this message enough to give it a thumbs down? Lazy people who eat shit food...aka fat people...well, fat, stupid people. Fat people could certainly agree with this as well. What part of the message did I miss exactly?
BAY868 5 months ago 4
@BAY868 Well, there are plenty of lazy people who are skinny (somehow!) who eat shit food, too. Fat doesn't necessarily mean unhealthy unless it's really bad, and unhealthy certainly doesn't mean fat all the time. Generalizing is usually not very smart.
Healthy at Every Size (HAES) is a movement worth looking into. Or, you know, ignorance is fun, too.
But yes, the general message that feeding your kids bad food is bad is an important one to spread.
