I like the muppets and this is funny, but it's also horrible because it's encouraging a sadly popular misconception that the bagpipes are incapable of making good music.

I have got to get myself one of those bag covers...

I didn't have the good fortune of seeing any of his live performances or even this Muppet episode as a kid, but I do have a vague memory of some kind of birthday video that I think he did. I didn't know his name back then, but he carried the same bag, did a similar bagpipe performance, a similar balloon animal performance, and also the spitting teeth. There was also someone with him in that video wearing a gorilla suit named Bubba. Anyone know what I'm talking about, or did I imagine all that?

This guy left his bagpipes in his car and walked two blocks when he realized that he didn't lock the car! He came running back and sure enough, there were two bagpipes in the car! Ha I know , this joke is as bad as this song!

Now this is true SKILL.

Everyone can learn to play an instrument, and the sound of an inept player is painful to horrendous. But to be able to play an instrument so well to make it sound as if you couldn't, that bloody genius, man.

Danny Bhoy's joke was pretty funny. ( watch?v=EeyjbqDCIeg ) This guy's humour doesn't really work.

As for the bagpipes, I reckon you need a LOT of bagpipes to make good music. There was a Tattoo in Russia where they had a lot of bagpipes playing Amazing Grace. That was good. But they needed 47 military bands or something like that. ( watch?v=oXbALs4f7cA )

Painful. Absolutely painful. And 10,000 views for that??!?
