    This wasn't just the most hilarious thing I've heard in a while, it's also the bloody cutest one. Look at what a dumpling this guy is being. He couldn't stop laughing at his own amazingness. He literally took a second in the middle for a "Bad joke, okay, gotta cut that." "...Thanks for the feedback!!!" I love him so much.

    @movelea 8 років тому +528

    The seahorse commet deserved an OOOOH at least, but not a peep out of the audience. It was a clever jab at the current way pregnancy and abortion are treated ikn western culture, but it clearly either went over their heads, or they were all pro-life.

  • @rowansmith9005
    @rowansmith9005 10 років тому +6

    Neil Hilborn has given me a lot of things: inspiration, courage, validation, a response to one of my tweets that I got to brag about at school, but this might be the most important work I've experienced of his. If my heart could do the hands up in praise emoji, I think this is what it would feel like.

    I clicked on this not even looking at the name just the title of the poem and the picture of the mountain man and then when the video started i saw "Neil Hilborn" and I was like no way a mountain man ate Neil Hilborn and stole his poetry. But nope 3 seconds of hearing his voice and it really is Neil where'd the beard come from?

    I feel he wrote and performed that drunk... But I just learnt so much about animal sex and genitals... I might have to rewatch to take everything in....
    Also that joke about men having the final decision was perfect. If he cuts it from his next, if ever, performance of this, I'll cry.

      +Wp3PK Haha yeah, it would be nice if that happened a little more often ^^ Well, since I'm a Christian, I suppose that believe goes along with that belief. But I also find it impossible to believe that all of this just happened out of pure coincidence. Right now I'm in a Psychology 100 class and it's INCREDIBLE what the brain can do and how it develops and so on. I just... looking around myself and at the world, it's an amazing place and people are just... wow. I can't see any of that just happening.
