Tim Minchin: Canvas Bags

[TheTwoCreepyGuys]

I'm gonna take my canvas bags to the supermarket

[frederz6]

is the tune to this song based on a genuine song cos i think i have heard it before

[Sozzie16MJ]

Tim Minchin with shirt all undone = HEAVEN.

[DomasBanevicius]

Stop making stupid jokes about dislike bar.

[firemonkey4me]

I love his awkward style of comedy :D

It amuses me :3

[LiveLifeAndLoveLife1]

i think... he wants us to take our canvas bags to the supermarket..

[DrChalkwithering]

@LiveLifeAndLoveLife1 What makes you think that? That's not the message I got from this.

[buggyshamanfly]

XD take your Canvas bag to the supermarket!

[cub995]

defo just scored a ticket to see him in november :3

[NightGodess80]

I end up singing this when I go to the store... or if I see someone go to the store.. ahaha :) I sing this out loud too!

[Daxim101]

Tim... Looks amazing without a shirt on.

[freezegrrl88]

no shoes no shirt

just take your canvas bags to the supermarket.

[freezegrrl88]

when he took his shirt off I was all like

*blush*

[TORMENTUH2]

Tim Minchin, making skinny white people without six packs proud since 1975

[KillerMime64]

"Doesn't look good with his T-shirt off" my ass :)

[36chocolas]

Omg he took his shirt off......

*faints*

[SJANews]

I love it how he's slowly stripping and no-one notices until his shirt's bascially off xD

[thebigtree74]

I think I am in love O-o

[maccarox481]

the ironic part is that if you dont use your canvas bag once then the energy used to produce the canvas bag outweighs that of disposeing of the plastic bags.

[SJANews]

@maccarox481 which is why you TAKE the canvas bag to the supermarket ^_^

[GerryB1110]

He's defiantly being ironic with the balloons ect .

[xXeeDeeXx]

@GerryB1110 The balloons were just inside the bags to make them drop slower... Don't try to overanalyze it

[ErrorUncertainty]

@812225 what do you think a hot air balloon is? Dimwit.

[GammlFelix]

i love the way he stays serious at the beginning :'D i'd probably laugh my ass off when i sing this :)

[illfindoutful]

@812225 Do you happen to know something called irony ?

[ErrorUncertainty]

@illfindoutful what do you think a hot air balloon is? Other Dimwit.

[illfindoutful]

@ErrorUncertainty Yeah sure, feel free to teach me...

[GammlFelix]

haha i love this :D

[DarthFennec]

This guy is fucking awesome XD

[BubbleWrap5505]

anybody find it weird that he's singing about plastic bags and the environment and he's using pyrotechnics and paper AND plastic confetti?

[TechXMarine]

@BubbleWrap5505 i think you'll find that wouldn't have been his choice

[BubbleWrap5505]

9 people are the owners of supermakets, upset that they wasted so much money on plastic bags.

[illfindoutful]

It's a shame they didn't use canvas balloons instead of plastic ones...

[SuperBrutalBanana]

One Word: EPIC! <333

[Someone400000]

HOLY SHIT THAT WAS EPIC! :D

[989swimmer]

he looks a mite uncomfortable...

[allanaek]

@989swimmer he does it epitides

[DivineMastery]

Not his best version of this song, I think the best was when he was doing his show in england. Perfection

[scatmanscott]

@DivineMastery which show? hes done a few over here, i recently saw him in birmingham.

[DivineMastery]

@scatmanscott Im not sure, might have been in the O2 arena?

[luukve]

If I had to describe this vid in 3 words, they would be:

Awesome

Epic

Canvas

[Flaza54]

please tell me it's not just me that thinks of a new bill bailey when i watch tim minchin? brilliant stuff

[d07a]

@Flaza54 dont worry it's not just you , i never think of bill bailey when i am associating brilliant with anything, let alone tim minchins genius.

[Kirschblabla]

He has a great voice! It's brilliant...

[loldhroflg]

The song is so brilliantly

[toddtimeocom]

can you upload the most recent version the one thats on his dvd, because I love that version way more :)

[jenalicerose]

aww he looks so young haha =]

[ZeDingoBlag]

Absolute genius. Tim Minchin writes a song about using canvas bags instead of plastic, but the bags have balloons in them. I doubt those balloons are made of canvas.

[lahbl]

That trumpet player was fucking annoying.

[EbonyFaery]

LOL At his face when the choir come on. He's fucking hot.

[SFZAFZ]

very good song but in a part he drives crazy1!!!!!

[Nudgewoorth]

It would be great if all public announcements were like this :) He is so funny

[Vaydayer]

i bet he doesnt really take his canvas bags to his supermarket!

[SHACHAR12345]

brilliant as always

[onsherizer]

Wow, this guy is amazing. Seriously funny. @WellyRobert your comment is perfect, I totally agree. The first one only. I wouldn't have his children or anything :).

[dorkasaur98]

LOVE HIM LOVE HIM LOVE HIM

[assbacon1]

wow...just wow, such an AMAZING show. love it<3

[khlova]

Fun Fact: Recent studies show that 98% of canvas bags have Feces of some sort within them due to produce and such being washed when the person who used them gets home, but not the bags themselves.

[BrianLOLZZ]

7 people don't take their canvas bags to the supermarket.

[SirBulldriver]

@BrianLOLZZ now its 9 people

[WellyRobert]

I'm serious. I am prepared to pay up to £50,000 per child.

[WellyRobert]

Takes a real genius to write a funny song in a serious way about a reasonably sensible point and manage to make it both poinient and bloody funny. I love this man and I want to have his children.

[HymnofDoom]

@WellyRobert I would love to his children too, but sadly it is impossible for a man to impregnate another man.

[ankl3deep]

@WellyRobert I assume you mean "poignant"

[EC17MEISTER]

@WellyRobert

took me a minute to realise you meant "poignant"

[ninjapenguin567]

Sounds a lot better on stage than in his music video.

[FoughtLicense1]

7 people use plastic bags even though they know the world can't take it.

[humanchainsaw]

i hope they were eco friendly balloons at the end

[moin93]

just must see because of axis of awesome xDD

[gantok2]

Is he wearing eyeliner? other then that, i love this songD

[MissRebelion]

@gantok2 its not eyeliner its guyliner ;)

[TheRealBlackRefleX]

awesome performance! *_*

[jekari0]

he reminds me of Russell Brand ;]

[trezz62]

tim minchin is the ultimate

[LukesO3]

it´s sounds like an another famous song from 0:45 to 2:10 especialy from 1:40...... melody...music..... I thing that I know it by someobe other...... is possible..?

[Dinyang]

@LukesO3

See: Axis of Awesome - Four chord song.

It might be there.

[LukesO3]

@Dinyang

bright, that explains a lot for me;)

thx

[Zalfazar]

Axis of Awesome brought me here, Tim Minchin make me stay.

[JeroenVerwee]

Hero! :')

[ilfirin86]

I always take a canvas bag to supermarket.

[71inderpal]

this song inspired me

[Kirschblabla]

Unique and fascinating. You can't describe this man!

[sabbatdark]

tim minchin is funny as hell. Axis of Awesome are all the better for including this in four chords.

[TheKingdomofErnor]

this song is sarcastic right? haha

[Nowzies]

The annoyingness of the Australian accent is unbelievable. Pretty cool nevertheless.

(and yes, I know he was born in Britain)

[Kalamarifisch]

2:22

[MckMick]

Oo <3

[mcviphil]

this man is amazing!

[BoboBublz]

After the bags dropped and he got really into it, i almost teared up.

no joke lol

[kingoffhej]

i love him!!

[inferiusnl]

he's actually right

[CallmeFles]

Wonder what that microphone stand is made of.

He might have a point, but he should get rid of that stand first... jezus what a terrible noise he made there.

[gabys2thur]

4 chords here XD

[starlytube]

Epicest song in the freakin' universe

[onewaragainstoneman]

@ 4:07 the choir girl's head in the back becomes an active volcano - awesome!

[hoodia131]

like if you were brought here by the 4 chords!

[Xb0x360ForTheWin]

err is he serious?

[wendighoul]

@Xb0x360ForTheWin very rarely

[PancakeRunner]

lol

[BrotherDamascus]

Holy crap! This is this guy! Part of the 4 chords song! Now it all makes sense! No wonder that song is so awesome, one of Minchin's songs is in it.

[BULLETCOVERMAN]

this is a four chord song ;)

[chunlunchan]

Omg.. Horrible... xD

[neo2568]

@scatmanscott i think that the WTF moment you speak of has something to do with the amount of awesome spilling out of him that not even his superior mind can control which resolves in a momentary memory loss.

[Elektro0Hexe]

OMG my dream has come true, I've seen his whole upper body *-* well, that's only half of the dream ;D

[tchlubna]

hehe respect to Tim...since now I am taking only canvas bags...to hell with plastic....its terrible that everything is now in plastic bottles instead of glass...want to make even beer in plastic bottle

[Thisisj3ff]

those canvas bags are lousy with bacteria, and infestation if not washed properly, and a recent study found that barely anyone is washing them. Fuck off if you use one, pussy.

[zisan1956]

@Thisisj3ff well wats easier, simply washing a canvas bag or trying to get a plastic bag to rot away underground???

[seattlejenny77]

@Thisisj3ff

yeah, that's why you don't use one. not 'cause you're a lazy douche. keep telling yourself that.

[Thisisj3ff]

@seattlejenny77 How many children's fingers in china were bled to the bone to make your bacteria-ridden canvas shopping bag? Considering when I go to the grocery store I only buy cases of beer and string cheese, I am actually doing more for the environment than you. You ostentatious hipster fuck idiot.

[punkmario06]

@Thisisj3ffokay, how about you sick my dick? just an offer, JUST SAYING, my dick would be a better use for your mouth, as the words that are comeing out of it at the minute are clearly...full of shit

[Thisisj3ff]

@punkmario06 Oh yah I'm full of shit and you think using a fucking canvas bag is going to help the world....*facepalm* You know what would help the world? If every smug, conceited fuckface who thought that went to the gulf of mexico, helped clean up some god damn oil, then drowned themselves.

[cyberblood21]

Hhahaha... this was so funny and awesaome... t("-")t

[lol327]

Truly inspiring; I know what /I'm/ taking next time I go to the super market!

[Bertisite]

KOSOVOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOO :|:|:|:|

Republic OF KOSOVO NoWWW !!!! :)

[dogeatbear]

I've never seen anyone so enthusiastic about canvas bags. Or any container.

[opryhunter]

We could cut military spending and just buy a canvas bags for everyone.

[arieshoro]

HAHAHA. TAKE YOUR CANVAS BAGS :D

[StageHolder]

Do something to rid the w-canvas baaags

[NotMissSunshine]

Does anyone know where I could buy or get a Tim Minchin canvas bag?

[Maksimfan]

@NotMissSunshine from his website at the bottom of the page in the 'shop' section. If you google Tim Minchin, it's the first one that comes up.

[NotMissSunshine]

@Maksimfan Thank you. For some I didn't think to look there.

[Maksimfan]

@NotMissSunshine you're welcome :)

[MrXiiaobendan]

FREE BAGSSSS.......MUST SAY BAGSSSSS

[ProsperoTheMagician]

this shoud be played on the radio !

[scorpio594]

i will take my canvas bags to the supermarket!

[PaddyFromGermany]

02:33 xD I do like this vid & song! :D

[mbluebond]

This was sent to me by my friend, Gary Landis! Yes, I'm an old hippie and I'm proud!! And yes Gary, my grocery bags are a combination of CANVAS and other materials....all biodegradeable!!! But thanks for thinking of me!

[potifant]

naja die stimme naja

[subtletube123]

So funny. But the thing about plastic bags: I always reuse mine to line my trash bin. If I took canvas bags I'd just have to buy plastic ones anyway. Never understood the logic of that.

[spikelov]

*rips open shirt* "CANVAS BAGS!!!" lol, she should take his shirt off more often, lol. loved this <3

[biggieboy2510]

Not over the top or anything. I wish public announcements were more like this

[benda316]

can someone tell me what the original of this song is called ??? its been bugging me for ages, i know what it is but i cant put a name to it or anything ARGHHH oh and tim = god!!!

[willisthebomb]

[fracturedempiricist]

[L00NGB00W]

*wipes away tears*

[CheeseTruncheon]

when he said 'to the supermarket' i laughed. i laughed at the choir, then i lost it when the bags fell, the trumpet topped it off. i know one thing. tommorow.... i'm gonna be singing about canvas bags.

[HeIemeri]

He's probably doing it on purpose :>
