You _exactly_ got it. Tim does a genius job of setting up the listener to jump to the wrong conclusion, which really highlights just how much certain things are internalized... and leads to exactly the question you asked. Your reaction is a pretty common one I've seen when people first listen to this song, because almost no one guesses correctly where Tim's going, and it makes them think.
Tim Minchin is brilliant! Bo Burnham was inspired by him, but Tim is a much better musician. He has written two critically acclaimed Broadway musicals and has been nominated for several Tony Awards.
@@whossname4399 Bo wrote a list with his favorite comedians and heroes and said this: "TIM MINCHIN - some of you may have heard me talk about tim before. a brilliant pianist and songwriter - to put it most eloquently, and i honestly believe this - he kind of does what i do except he does it 100 times better than i do it." I think I've heard him talk about it on a podcast too. I think it was the You Made it Weird with Pete Holmes podcast, many years ago. But there is a mutual respect and Tim thinks Bo is brilliant, and I agree. On some Bo Burnham songs you really need to study the lyrics carefully to get everything he is saying, and I still find stuff in his old songs that I didn't pick up on.

@@sarahhardy8649 are you kidding? He refers to himself as Australian. Did he steal himself? Lol. His family is Aussie. Just happened to be born overseas 😂
I'm not sure if anyone has ever explained this already, but when he sings "and dunking my ginger nuts into their ginger tea" it has a double meaning. A ginger nut is a ginger flavoured cookie here in Australia. It's a hard cookie so it's fairly common to dunk it in a cup of coffee or tea before taking a bite. But of course he also wants it to sound like he's dunking his testicles, which I don't recommend you try at home kids LOL
To add to this information, the expression 'Fanta pants' used in the song refers to an orange flavoured (and coloured) soft drink (soda) here in Australian called Fanta. "Fanta pants" is also used to jokingly refer to redheads.
could not be more proud that Devon got the joke - but also understood that the comedy was a beautiful metaphor to the obvious that Devon and others suffer through. Perfect reaction,,,
No one else has mentioned this that I can see, but in the UK, Australia and probably Ireland and Canada, Ginger nuts are actually cookies (which they also call biscuits).
This is a classic example of the "dislocation of expectation". I reckon about 99% of people seeing/hearing this for the first time were thinking (like Devon himself) were expecting Tim to address the other anagram involving the letters G G R E I and N. Utterly brilliant method of making people think long and hard about their own thought processes.
nah, its not misdirection. the first lines clearly indicate which word is intended. use of ginger is a respectful way making the point without using a word which he shouldn't have and didn't use.
sblla - no, he’s making a point. He’s using ginger to make you think about use of other words, all while being funny and right! He does that on most of his songs. They have many layers! Love him.
@@jongallop2613 normally i would say don't listen to him, he's deffo a fake codex, i'm the real thing. but i guess even a broken clock is right twice a day :P
@@davec-1378 I prefer this one : "By definition, I begin, alternative medicine have either not been proved to work, or been proved not to work. Do you know what they call alternative medicine that's been proved to work? Medicine."
Codex, thanks for sending me to Storm. I loved it. I've just gotten my wife turned on to Tim as well, whom she loves. But this one may belittle too many of her sacred cows. While she can Howl at Thank You God, I may have to play Storm with headphones on. Don't want her to throw out the Timmy with the bathwater.
For years, I used to tell people whenever they called me or someone else Ginger "Hey, that's our word, you don't get to use it unless your one of us". I was joking, but when I first saw Tim Minchin, I lost it. This man is speaking my language.
Kinda the same with the translation in my country. But only half-joking. Because it was pretty much a slur, so we tend to only use it with close friends or other redheads. Saying it without being close to the person and with a straight face was worthy of being decked. But then again, the history of redheads is pretty fucked in the west, and people don't really realise it.
You've hit on the beauty of this song - it engenders thought and discussion about the use of the "n" word as well as bullying in general. Tim knows damn well that being called "ginger" is relatively harmless, there are lots of other derogatory terms for red-heads, but it can still hurt to be name-called. Great reaction.
Depends how you define harmless. Lots of people as adults can deem most offensive words as "harmless". We learn to brush them aside, or reappropriate them, diminsh them with fun. However, the parents of small kids hanging themselves after endless bullying because they're red haired wouldn't consider it harmless. Women (or men in some instances) being overly harassed sexually because "gingers are just wild in the sack" wouldn't exactly agree either.
Devon, don’t be hard on yourself. There are all sorts of prejudice out there. If it’s not skin color, it’s hair color, or eye color. It will always be something.
Yeah, I was impressed but sad that his first reaction was self-recrimination. I don't think Minchin intended his song to call out Black people on their own prejudices!
I really hope the winner of his next one is Thank You God. That was the first Tim Minchin song I ever heard and I was hooked. Pretty much all the other videos that Devon mentions are still really good. A few more could easily be added like.....The Pope Song, Storm, White Wine in the Sun and Some People Have it Worse than I. Just to name a few.
Thanks for reacting to my request! Even better thanks for giving me my own pole! Sorry for overloading you with request, just wanted to see more people appreciate his stuff like I do.
Actually your first reaction was not wrong. Minchin takes advantage of the letters but if you play it in your head replacing the G word with the N word you find you are still on the same ethical page.
On the same ethical page yes, but part of the point of the song is also to lead you to jump to the wrong conclusion and then think about why you did that.
LMAO! “ Am I RACIST?!?” love it. I am not ginger, but I am ginger adjacent ( my mom and kid brother are both - well you know... ). As an aside, Tim Minchen does a beautiful holiday song called ( I think ) “ White wine in the sunshine “ I think. You can find it if you look for it.
I was bullied badly at school for having ginger hair. It was relentless and made me think I was ugly for years and I hated myself. So on the one hand it seems light hearted but when it is you it's no fun at all. I don't mind since I grew up and learned to love my hair and myself, calling me ginger now doesn't offend me at all but it would have when I was a young teen into mid teens. I never use names such as the one you are thinking of or anything other derogatory towards anyone. You will love more Tim; he's a comedic and musical genius of Australian origin. Sing with me now "...only a ginger can call another ginger, ginger..." heeeeeheeeheeeeehaw. Hilarious.
Dawn, it wont make you feel any better but i was considered fairly cool in school and was popular amongst peers and appeared happy on the outside. On the inside i was and still am a raging introvert who made quips about other kids and got laughs. I was never overtly mean and always had lots of "nerdy/geeky" friends whom I never shunned when with my other friends but I still stress about hurting others in school with my quips even in my 40,s now I think about it. We all make mistakes. Im just sorry that some of ours infect others disproportionately.
I am also a ginger, and I was tormented and harrassed all through early childhood through to mid teens for it. Looking so different to everyone else, being so drastically different looking to everyone else I was relentlessly bullied. My sister had darker hair, auburn and so wasnt harrassed as much. Standing out and being different I heard all those other names and a lot worse that he mentioned in the song. Not only from students either. We got talks about prejudice in race, but nothing due to something like hair colour, sensitivity classes on race and culture then teachers turning around and addressing me as... ginger, alice (alice in wonderland) Annie (another movie reference), carrot top, and other things, not just the student who then gained permission to go much worse, while they defended children of different backgrounds, races, cultures and beliefs... I love that tim here draws the idea that we get so caught up in popular ideas of prejudice, when prejudice occurs in more areas than just mainstream, we are constantly judging everyone all day everyday, and often overlooking the fact we are judging others without realising it... the youtuber here is awesome in actually acknowledging that... high praise to them.. got to give like to them for that
I've always thought ginger and red har is absolutely gorgeous, if I could change the natural colour of my hair just from wishful thinking that's the colour it would be. Never understood why it's a thing to bully people cos of their hair especially when it's so nice. Glad your happy with your lovely hair now, that's all that matters in the end xxx
Loved this reaction and the way you got into a bit of actual analysis of how it made you feel and how the build up works. Tim Minchin in my humble opinion is the most talented and clever comedian in a generation. I grieve nothing more than that he doesn't do his artistic work in this way anymore, I think his voice could do a lot to make sense of this world we find ourselves in. As to your little detour in music theory, I know somebody further down already explained and maybe you have worked on your musicianship since this vid was posted a couple of years ago :) but if you don't yet know it, you should DEFINITELY check out the Four Chord Song by axis of awesome. (and as for Tim Minchin, he's a singular natural talent, I'm afraid, he doesn't even read sheet music, that is all just pure improv and I am jealous, but also glad he uses his power for good :))
Me too :)) this is a reflection though. Analysis would be looking through some stats about the video, or community response, and drawing conclusions. A reflection is personally sharing how it makes you feel and is an important process to any story. That is why the reaction genre on UA-cam is an important community.
Ha! “ If you call us ‘ginge’, you can’t whinge if you’re injured, if you don’t have a tinge of the ginge in your minge...” (minge = Aussie slang for lady-parts)
I appreciate the commentary you give on this. Too many reaction videos are literally people watching the clip without saying anything at all. It’s more interesting to hear other people’s thoughts.
That was brilliant. Thank you for reintroducing me to this great piece. ****, that was brilliant! Reminded me of early-to-mid Carlin: all the musicality and cadence without the instrumental(s) [aside from the human voice/instrument, of course.]. The whole tempo of the piece is just great. So awkward, syncopated, jazzy but iffy, distressed, linguistically constrained (purposely, of course). ****, that was brilliant! Thank you. Keep up the good work. Have fun. "PEACE!"
Everyone is making this chord thing way too complicated. Pick any white piano key as a starting place, then play every other white key at the same time until you have a 3 note chord, done. Major chords: CEG, FAC, GBD minor chords: DFA, EGB, ACE Mix and match those major and minor chords and sing or play melodies over the chords using only white key notes (either on the piano or with your voice) and you are doing exactly what you were talking about Paul doing. Yes it goes WAY deeper (full time musician here), but you will get SO much mileage out of that, and if you were studying songwriting with someone that would be where you'd start anyway.
Not to mention, that if you are able to play just those major and minor chords you'll be able to play about 80 percent of pop songs ever written. For instance: Halo by Beyonce can be played with just repeating 4 chords namely : G, A minor, E Minor, C. Once you fiddle around with those you can make it sound good. Obviously playing it like a professional will require some more advanced playing and variations of the chords, but for someone starting out it is a great way to enjoy playing music and getting that fulfillment out of it.
I deleted my original comment and I'm back here because I watched it again. Amazing reaction. I know the original song/video well, but your reaction was the most pure and honest I've seen of any. Props dude.
I kept my eyes on your face, watching to see your reaction when you got it. Lmao, you didn't disappoint! I was laughing right along with you like we were in the same room watching it together. Of course, I already knew what was coming because I love this song! I agree. Why would anybody want to use that word? New subscription.
I love that you understood the joke right away. I watched 4 reactions before this that sat completely quiet after he sang the ginger part... Your reaction was perfect!
I don’t think you were being prejudiced at all, all of his language up front is intended to set us up for the misdirect. When he talks about a six letter word that does harm, has been used to abuse - I mean it is significantly more true of the word we were all thinking of at first. Even his facial expressions, like he isn’t supposed to be saying it. It is what makes his comedy particularly clever though, he is setting us up for the bait and switch but it’s a way of talking about the larger problem of hateful language in a way that is appropriate for him to talk about. He’s a genius. Love watching your reaction though, appreciate hearing your take on it.
It's just not gone on as long or as harshly as the word he's misdirecting us to. Gingers were targeted automatically during the Spanish Inquisition as witches to be jailed, tortured and killed. Some people would cover their hair in animal feces to disguise the colour - if they had no means of colouring it any other way. Babies were left out in the road or in the woods to die by their parents if they were born with hair that had even 'a tinge of the Ginge'. All that has remained is the bullying, though.
@@cvgme I mean, it went even further. Hypocrates (father of modern medicine so admired doctors to this day pledge an oath to his name) classified redheads as "subhumans more akin to pigs, with lecherous and violent character, and dishonest as a fox". And the bullying goes beyond a bit of hazing. I've had a woman tell me to my face (I was 14) that she'd rather abort if she knew her kid would have red hair. And the nasty opposite exists as well. The objectification is by no means flattering. Women being presumed to be promiscuous and men to be "fiery" and impossible to exhaust in bed. It's weird and unhealthy.
His face when he realized the left hook out of nowhere from Minchin. Don't worry, Devon. It caught me right in the chin when I first heard the song too. XD
Appreciate you taking the time to listen to Prejudice...by Tim Minchin. He has many other songs. Many times he skates the razor edge of social idiocies. He is a genius. Most important on top of it all, he is a very much a wonderful humanbean. Love from CrankyGranny Western Australia.
Tim Minchin is one incredibly extraordinary human. Vocalist, stupidly talented pianist, comedian, actor, playwright and social activist. Sets the bar a tad high for the rest of us Aussies, but proud to have him as an unofficial ambassador.
Just a quick word. I'm super impressed at this video, I just subscribed. I did because it was so pure and real. You're going down a good comedy road! Keep being you, and you will kill it.
I love Tim Minchin ❤ this song and Thank You God is my favorite. So glad you had the same reaction I did. Ive seen a few ppl get rl pissy and upset and its meant to make you look at yourself and your own prejudice assumptions while having a laugh. I love it, and loved your reaction lol
I agree with a lot of the comments below, but my favorite of all time is his Christmas song ( not comedy and yes, Christmas) White Wine In The Sun. I tear up EVERY TIME I listen to it. My favorite Christmas song ever.
so i'm having one those nights, hitting up old classic on YT. i love Tim Minchin, just listening to the classics, and then this popped up. what a fkn National Treasure TM is. I loved seeing your reaction. BTW Tim Minchin is self taught, he is a genius.
I'm totally loving your video. I've been a longtime fan of Tim Minchin since 2011 and your comments about piano playing are spot on to how I feel haha. All I can say is check out everything Tim Minchin has done, even on your personal time. He's recently composed the music for two Broadway musicals "Matilda" and "Groundhog Day" and I cannot recommend them enough. Those are less comical, but they both possess the emotional complexity that Tim obviously is a master in. Also, if you watch him on BBC Proms, you won't be disappointed. :)
You hit the nail on the head ! Words are such a small thing to make people feel comfortable . Why would you not do that ? Helping an other human with words does not cost a thing
Bo is my favorite comedian, and Tim is a very close second. They are both absoluty brilliant in their own ways. In a way, Bo IS still honing his craft, even if he is taking a break for now, but calling him an amateur is doing him a huge disservice. He can't hold a candle to Tim when it comes to musical and vocal talent, even though he is a very good pianist. Tim has virtually perfected his style, as comparatively narrow as it is. While No may not be quite as good as Tim at any one thing, he employs a much more diverse toolset, many different styles of music, and uses not just that, bit dancing, lighting, effects and costumes in his acts. It really sets him apart and makes him unique. I also think he is way funnier, but that is incredibly subjective of course. Lyrically, they are both absolute masterminds, no doubt about that.
I don't watch reaction videos anymore but if your fans wanted you to watch Tim, they must have a high opinion of you so I am happy to watch your reaction while listening to This great Tim Minchin song! Wish you the best!
Love your reaction. One key for me in understanding chords (on the piano or on any other instrument) is that it's the interval between notes that's important. If you play a two note chord, that is, two different pure sound pitches (frequencies) together, say frequency X and frequency Y, the two frequencies will "beat" together as if you're hearing two additional notes, namely X+Y and X-Y: the sum, and the difference, of the two frequencies, sometimes called "overtones". That's pure physics, just to start with, nothing to do with human perception: an electronic device that analyzes frequencies will "hear" and report those overtones. They're real. If you add a third note to the chord, call it Z, the number of overtones shoots way up: you get X+Z, X-Z, Y+Z, Y-Z, in addition to the aforementioned X+Y and X-Y. So the complexity ratchets way up very quickly with each additional note you play. The way we perceive those overtones, what the chord does to us, psychologically, is probably partly physiological, but it's also culturally bound. Minor chords sound "sad" to Western listeners, and Major chords sound "happy", in large part because we are used to hearing those chords applied for those purposes by composers who themselves grew up in the tradition. There's lots of other chords besides major and minor, and different cultures may have different emotional connotations attached to them by those cultures' musical traditions. So learning about chords has a pure mathematical component, to do with the physics of how sound waves stack up against each other; and separately, a culturally bound component that makes sense within a particular human culture. It's been some years since you posted your reaction, but if you haven't already, I can make no better recommendation than to suggest that you find a piano (or electronic equivalent) and just start banging away at a song you like. It may help to read some of Wikipedia's articles on music theory, for example the articles on "Major chord" and "Minor chord": Wikipedia is good because if I'm reading one article on one musical concept that has an idea in it that I haven't learned yet, I can just follow the link and read about the underlying concept, then go back to the previous article once I'm ready. I just have to remember to have that two pronged approach, the pure mathematics of sound combinations, and the psychological component of what those combinations mean, either within my own culture's musical tradition, or those of a culture different to my own. (Even if I don't understand it, I can still appreciate those "foreign" traditions in the same way that I enjoy the sound of the spoken Spanish language, without understanding what's being said.... it's fascinating and mysterious!) It may seem like a daunting undertaking, but I promise that one can get there, and more easily than one might think when approaching the vastness of the subject for the first time.
This was so fun! I love Tim Minchin! Chords made simple from a piano teacher 😀: Chords are skips on the piano. If you want to play a major chord like C, C is the bottom note, then count 4 keys up for the middle note (E), then 3 keys up for the top note (G). (Count all black and white keys in order going up.) This process for finding major chords works on any key you start on, whether it's black or white. Minor chords work the same way, just backwards - count up 3 then 4. So C minor would be C, E-flat, G. The notes in the chords never change, so C major notes are always CEG, even if you play them out of order like GCE. Of course this gets more complex with jazz chords, but the basic structure doesn't change. 😀
I love this song, and I REALLY love seeing people’s reactions when they think they know what word he’s talking about only to realize he means a different word!
First, love Tim Minchin! This is such a unique comedic skit in my opinion. Second, I really appreciated the insight you gave, I found it genuinely enlightening and addressed productively. Great job!
hi, just found your channel, digging the way you follow a train of thought after the reaction and see where it goes. Music theory! wow, there's a youtube rabbit hole to go down!
Well I'm about two years late but I appreciate any video of Tim Minchin. And more importantly I liked your discussion of the n bomb. I can still remember the last time I used it (aside from talking to my son about its usage). I hurt my ankle playing basketball and said it. Not at anyone - just as an expletive like s**t. It was part of the jargon of white suburbia. Then I thought about it and now it's one of those awful moments that you can't forget. That moment, 35 years ago, changed my life. It may have been my first adult decision, as a 15 year old, to never again use words that hurt people for who they are (but I'll still point and laugh at silly ideas like creationism and flat Earth, etc). Thanks for this thoughtful reaction

nah, its not misdirection. the first lines clearly indicate which word is intended. use of ginger is a respectful way making the point without using a word which he shouldn't have and didn't use.
@@healthcareforallhawaii3336 It's a comedy not a lecture. I don't think black people are sensitive to UV.
There's no need for anyone to think on their thought process. That's not even meant to be the point it's simply a misdirection for comedic effect.
I didn't even realise there were anagram. And I am a Ginge.
A good amount of British/Aussie slang in that.
sblla - no, he’s making a point. He’s using ginger to make you think about use of other words, all while being funny and right! He does that on most of his songs. They have many layers! Love him.
You have to take a look at, 'Storm' also by Tim Minchin. It's the best thing he's ever done! :)
Codex7777 Yes, yes. 1000 yes. The best thing by a mile
@@jongallop2613 normally i would say don't listen to him, he's deffo a fake codex, i'm the real thing. but i guess even a broken clock is right twice a day :P
Nah, 2nd best
The best is "Thank You God"
I do love the line...
"Throughout history, every mystery, ever solved has turned out to be...not magic"
@@davec-1378 I prefer this one :
"By definition, I begin, alternative medicine have either not been proved to work, or been proved not to work.
Do you know what they call alternative medicine that's been proved to work?
Medicine."
Codex, thanks for sending me to Storm. I loved it. I've just gotten my wife turned on to Tim as well, whom she loves. But this one may belittle too many of her sacred cows. While she can Howl at Thank You God, I may have to play Storm with headphones on. Don't want her to throw out the Timmy with the bathwater.
For years, I used to tell people whenever they called me or someone else Ginger "Hey, that's our word, you don't get to use it unless your one of us". I was joking, but when I first saw Tim Minchin, I lost it. This man is speaking my language.
Kinda the same with the translation in my country. But only half-joking. Because it was pretty much a slur, so we tend to only use it with close friends or other redheads. Saying it without being close to the person and with a straight face was worthy of being decked. But then again, the history of redheads is pretty fucked in the west, and people don't really realise it.
You've hit on the beauty of this song - it engenders thought and discussion about the use of the "n" word as well as bullying in general. Tim knows damn well that being called "ginger" is relatively harmless, there are lots of other derogatory terms for red-heads, but it can still hurt to be name-called. Great reaction.
Meg Wilcox such as Tampon. 😳
Yep, gingers have come a long way from getting burnt at the stake for witchcraft. They just get bullied on the playground now adays.
As a life long ginger, I felt the pain as a child, grew up in a Dutch settled community in Michigan, lots and lots of blondes.
And Judas Iscarot has been depicted as a redhead.
Depends how you define harmless. Lots of people as adults can deem most offensive words as "harmless". We learn to brush them aside, or reappropriate them, diminsh them with fun. However, the parents of small kids hanging themselves after endless bullying because they're red haired wouldn't consider it harmless. Women (or men in some instances) being overly harassed sexually because "gingers are just wild in the sack" wouldn't exactly agree either.
The penny drop moment was quality. Bravo, mate, bravo.
His laugh in that moment was beautiful!
Tim Minchin is flat out AWESOME. Amazing musician and lyricist and comedian.
Devon, don’t be hard on yourself. There are all sorts of prejudice out there. If it’s not skin color, it’s hair color, or eye color. It will always be something.
If Avenue Q taught us anything it's that everyone's a little bit racist.
Yeah, I was impressed but sad that his first reaction was self-recrimination. I don't think Minchin intended his song to call out Black people on their own prejudices!
I love the
"Just like only a ni--nja"
The pause is just perfect to think he's going THERE
I really hope the winner of his next one is Thank You God. That was the first Tim Minchin song I ever heard and I was hooked. Pretty much all the other videos that Devon mentions are still really good. A few more could easily be added like.....The Pope Song, Storm, White Wine in the Sun and Some People Have it Worse than I. Just to name a few.
"The Pope Song" and his bit about Tony the prehistoric fish did it for me.
Yes!
Thanks for reacting to my request! Even better thanks for giving me my own pole! Sorry for overloading you with request, just wanted to see more people appreciate his stuff like I do.
@ThisIsNeil TV • I'm so glad you did!!
This is Tims schtick, makes you start one thing then switches on you. Guys a smart bloke.
Actually your first reaction was not wrong. Minchin takes advantage of the letters but if you play it in your head replacing the G word with the N word you find you are still on the same ethical page.
On the same ethical page yes, but part of the point of the song is also to lead you to jump to the wrong conclusion and then think about why you did that.
Yeah it's cause he links the two G's together and puts emphasis on the N. Incredible songwriting
That moment you twigged-precious! We ALL had it. Tim pulls it off.
LMAO! “ Am I RACIST?!?” love it. I am not ginger, but I am ginger adjacent ( my mom and kid brother are both - well you know... ). As an aside, Tim Minchen does a beautiful holiday song called ( I think ) “ White wine in the sunshine “ I think. You can find it if you look for it.
Did you just “some of my best friends are black” ????
Kidding!!! 😛
White wine in the Sun is so beautiful.
Yeah, his misdirection and thusly highlighting the behavior (the topic at hand)as it happens in their brains was masterful.
So happy you reacted to Tim Minchin, more please 😊
Ste D
I love watching other experience Tim's work for the first time.
I was bullied badly at school for having ginger hair. It was relentless and made me think I was ugly for years and I hated myself. So on the one hand it seems light hearted but when it is you it's no fun at all.
I don't mind since I grew up and learned to love my hair and myself, calling me ginger now doesn't offend me at all but it would have when I was a young teen into mid teens.
I never use names such as the one you are thinking of or anything other derogatory towards anyone.
You will love more Tim; he's a comedic and musical genius of Australian origin.
Sing with me now "...only a ginger can call another ginger, ginger..." heeeeeheeeheeeeehaw. Hilarious.
Dawn, it wont make you feel any better but i was considered fairly cool in school and was popular amongst peers and appeared happy on the outside. On the inside i was and still am a raging introvert who made quips about other kids and got laughs. I was never overtly mean and always had lots of "nerdy/geeky" friends whom I never shunned when with my other friends but I still stress about hurting others in school with my quips even in my 40,s now I think about it. We all make mistakes. Im just sorry that some of ours infect others disproportionately.
I feel your pain too...a redhead in a community of blue eyed blondes...omg. It truly was hard!
I am also a ginger, and I was tormented and harrassed all through early childhood through to mid teens for it. Looking so different to everyone else, being so drastically different looking to everyone else I was relentlessly bullied. My sister had darker hair, auburn and so wasnt harrassed as much. Standing out and being different I heard all those other names and a lot worse that he mentioned in the song. Not only from students either. We got talks about prejudice in race, but nothing due to something like hair colour, sensitivity classes on race and culture then teachers turning around and addressing me as... ginger, alice (alice in wonderland) Annie (another movie reference), carrot top, and other things, not just the student who then gained permission to go much worse, while they defended children of different backgrounds, races, cultures and beliefs... I love that tim here draws the idea that we get so caught up in popular ideas of prejudice, when prejudice occurs in more areas than just mainstream, we are constantly judging everyone all day everyday, and often overlooking the fact we are judging others without realising it... the youtuber here is awesome in actually acknowledging that... high praise to them.. got to give like to them for that
I've always thought ginger and red har is absolutely gorgeous, if I could change the natural colour of my hair just from wishful thinking that's the colour it would be. Never understood why it's a thing to bully people cos of their hair especially when it's so nice. Glad your happy with your lovely hair now, that's all that matters in the end xxx
@@resonablehuman1163 Thank you for your support; come the Ginger Revolution (at night cos we burn easily) we will remember our Friends!
Loved this reaction and the way you got into a bit of actual analysis of how it made you feel and how the build up works. Tim Minchin in my humble opinion is the most talented and clever comedian in a generation. I grieve nothing more than that he doesn't do his artistic work in this way anymore, I think his voice could do a lot to make sense of this world we find ourselves in. As to your little detour in music theory, I know somebody further down already explained and maybe you have worked on your musicianship since this vid was posted a couple of years ago :) but if you don't yet know it, you should DEFINITELY check out the Four Chord Song by axis of awesome. (and as for Tim Minchin, he's a singular natural talent, I'm afraid, he doesn't even read sheet music, that is all just pure improv and I am jealous, but also glad he uses his power for good :))
Me too :)) this is a reflection though. Analysis would be looking through some stats about the video, or community response, and drawing conclusions.
A reflection is personally sharing how it makes you feel and is an important process to any story. That is why the reaction genre on UA-cam is an important community.
Congrats!!! I have watched many reactions to this and you are the first one to get that he was showing us our prejudice, top shelf sir!
Ha! “ If you call us ‘ginge’, you can’t whinge if you’re injured, if you don’t have a tinge of the ginge in your minge...” (minge = Aussie slang for lady-parts)
and in the UK :P
I appreciate the commentary you give on this. Too many reaction videos are literally people watching the clip without saying anything at all. It’s more interesting to hear other people’s thoughts.
YES! There are soo few Tim Minchin reactors on youtube. Thank you! Hope to see more of him in the future.
That was brilliant. Thank you for reintroducing me to this great piece. ****, that was brilliant! Reminded me of early-to-mid Carlin: all the musicality and cadence without the instrumental(s) [aside from the human voice/instrument, of course.]. The whole tempo of the piece is just great. So awkward, syncopated, jazzy but iffy, distressed, linguistically constrained (purposely, of course). ****, that was brilliant! Thank you.
Keep up the good work. Have fun. "PEACE!"
tim minchin is a famous australian atheist singer, comedian and so on
Everyone is making this chord thing way too complicated. Pick any white piano key as a starting place, then play every other white key at the same time until you have a 3 note chord, done.
Major chords: CEG, FAC, GBD
minor chords: DFA, EGB, ACE
Mix and match those major and minor chords and sing or play melodies over the chords using only white key notes (either on the piano or with your voice) and you are doing exactly what you were talking about Paul doing.
Yes it goes WAY deeper (full time musician here), but you will get SO much mileage out of that, and if you were studying songwriting with someone that would be where you'd start anyway.
Not to mention, that if you are able to play just those major and minor chords you'll be able to play about 80 percent of pop songs ever written. For instance: Halo by Beyonce can be played with just repeating 4 chords namely : G, A minor, E Minor, C. Once you fiddle around with those you can make it sound good. Obviously playing it like a professional will require some more advanced playing and variations of the chords, but for someone starting out it is a great way to enjoy playing music and getting that fulfillment out of it.
That's the thing though, most people aren't musically literate. Only musicians understand the differences.
He is so smart, funny, and thought provoking while delivering his message in a great way. Love it
Loved watching your reaction! I’m a big Tom Minchin fan and an Aussie :)
Thank you! 😁 Awesome name by the way. 👍
I deleted my original comment and I'm back here because I watched it again. Amazing reaction. I know the original song/video well, but your reaction was the most pure and honest I've seen of any. Props dude.
I kept my eyes on your face, watching to see your reaction when you got it. Lmao, you didn't disappoint! I was laughing right along with you like we were in the same room watching it together. Of course, I already knew what was coming because I love this song!
I agree. Why would anybody want to use that word? New subscription.
I love that you understood the joke right away. I watched 4 reactions before this that sat completely quiet after he sang the ginger part... Your reaction was perfect!
That was actually amazing. That was greatness
One of the greatest pieces of comedy misdirection of all time.
If you enjoyed that, you need to watch Tim Minchin’s “Cont”... even better
Indy J - I ageee! Its the best song after The Book
That’s his first song I heard, then I watched his specials.
I don’t think you were being prejudiced at all, all of his language up front is intended to set us up for the misdirect. When he talks about a six letter word that does harm, has been used to abuse - I mean it is significantly more true of the word we were all thinking of at first.
Even his facial expressions, like he isn’t supposed to be saying it. It is what makes his comedy particularly clever though, he is setting us up for the bait and switch but it’s a way of talking about the larger problem of hateful language in a way that is appropriate for him to talk about. He’s a genius.
Love watching your reaction though, appreciate hearing your take on it.
It's just not gone on as long or as harshly as the word he's misdirecting us to. Gingers were targeted automatically during the Spanish Inquisition as witches to be jailed, tortured and killed. Some people would cover their hair in animal feces to disguise the colour - if they had no means of colouring it any other way. Babies were left out in the road or in the woods to die by their parents if they were born with hair that had even 'a tinge of the Ginge'. All that has remained is the bullying, though.
Heather Mitchell-Adams Thank you for that additional context. I didn’t realize it was that bad!
@@cvgme I mean, it went even further. Hypocrates (father of modern medicine so admired doctors to this day pledge an oath to his name) classified redheads as "subhumans more akin to pigs, with lecherous and violent character, and dishonest as a fox". And the bullying goes beyond a bit of hazing. I've had a woman tell me to my face (I was 14) that she'd rather abort if she knew her kid would have red hair. And the nasty opposite exists as well. The objectification is by no means flattering. Women being presumed to be promiscuous and men to be "fiery" and impossible to exhaust in bed. It's weird and unhealthy.
the most thought-provoking and intelligent commentary I've seen on the many layers of this amazing song - thank you :)
His face when he realized the left hook out of nowhere from Minchin.
Don't worry, Devon. It caught me right in the chin when I first heard the song too. XD
Appreciate you taking the time to listen to Prejudice...by Tim Minchin. He has many other songs. Many times he skates the razor edge of social idiocies. He is a genius. Most important on top of it all, he is a very much a wonderful humanbean. Love from CrankyGranny Western Australia.
Your reaction was fabulous! Loved watching you.
Glad you enjoyed!
@@DevonDaVinci I came back to enjoy it again 🤣
I have been subscribing you for years. You are just so obviously intelligent guy. Keep up the good work! Shout out from Finland o/
I love your reaction to this gem of a comedian and musician. He's a real treasure.
Tim Minchin is one incredibly extraordinary human. Vocalist, stupidly talented pianist, comedian, actor, playwright and social activist. Sets the bar a tad high for the rest of us Aussies, but proud to have him as an unofficial ambassador.
Just a quick word. I'm super impressed at this video, I just subscribed. I did because it was so pure and real. You're going down a good comedy road! Keep being you, and you will kill it.
This was the best reaction of Prejudice Iv seen ...and Iv watched loads.....just subbed off the strength of your reaction. 👍🏽🙋🏽♀️
Great react :) Tim's so good at giving all these clues, even the little "yeah" before the big reveal is misdirection
Always think that is so clever. Totally adds to the discomfort, like, oh god, he's not going rap is he
I knew you would love this, it's so clever, knew you would appreciate his genius.
I love Tim Minchin ❤ this song and Thank You God is my favorite. So glad you had the same reaction I did. Ive seen a few ppl get rl pissy and upset and its meant to make you look at yourself and your own prejudice assumptions while having a laugh. I love it, and loved your reaction lol
your reaction was so genuine. loved it!
I have just watched 7 these reaction videos to this song. I think you are the first person that can spell and were able to be miss directed. well done
I agree with a lot of the comments below, but my favorite of all time is his Christmas song ( not comedy and yes, Christmas) White Wine In The Sun. I tear up EVERY TIME I listen to it. My favorite Christmas song ever.
You’ll never compare Tim to Bo again once you know that Tim has written a Tony nominated musical.
I think after Inside, it's hard to say Bo doesn't have some serious chops. That is a work of art.
so i'm having one those nights, hitting up old classic on YT. i love Tim Minchin, just listening to the classics, and then this popped up. what a fkn National Treasure TM is. I loved seeing your reaction.
BTW Tim Minchin is self taught, he is a genius.
I'm totally loving your video. I've been a longtime fan of Tim Minchin since 2011 and your comments about piano playing are spot on to how I feel haha. All I can say is check out everything Tim Minchin has done, even on your personal time. He's recently composed the music for two Broadway musicals "Matilda" and "Groundhog Day" and I cannot recommend them enough. Those are less comical, but they both possess the emotional complexity that Tim obviously is a master in. Also, if you watch him on BBC Proms, you won't be disappointed. :)
This video never gets old - your honesty is great :)
Ty for understanding. Prejudice is something we all we have. Love u dude
Love that you got the title of the song talks also about the direction of the song itself
I can't like this enough. Haven't heard from you so much recently - you are missed.
Try also “Inflatable You”, “Rock n’ Roll Nerd”, “Cont”, “Thank You God”, “Storm”, “Confessions”.
Cont is one of my favourites!
Inflatable you is my favourite!
Cont has to be done!!
Great video and very thorough and detailed explanations of your thought process when watching his video. Subscribed !
Loved your reaction to this! Tim Minchin is a genius. Glad you noticed.
Well said Devon, greetings from Melbourne Oz ! It was funny as feck too
I loved your reaction! Fantastic!!
You hit the nail on the head ! Words are such a small thing to make people feel comfortable .
Why would you not do that ? Helping an other human with words does not cost a thing
Tim makes Bo look like an amateur still honing his craft. Tim is a master craftsman. Please do more
They are both great. Found Tim after Bo mentioned him in an interview.
Bo is my favorite comedian, and Tim is a very close second. They are both absoluty brilliant in their own ways. In a way, Bo IS still honing his craft, even if he is taking a break for now, but calling him an amateur is doing him a huge disservice. He can't hold a candle to Tim when it comes to musical and vocal talent, even though he is a very good pianist. Tim has virtually perfected his style, as comparatively narrow as it is. While No may not be quite as good as Tim at any one thing, he employs a much more diverse toolset, many different styles of music, and uses not just that, bit dancing, lighting, effects and costumes in his acts. It really sets him apart and makes him unique. I also think he is way funnier, but that is incredibly subjective of course. Lyrically, they are both absolute masterminds, no doubt about that.
The amazingly talented, generous-spirited and all round terrific human being. Minchin is brilliant.
I don't watch reaction videos anymore but if your fans wanted you to watch Tim, they must have a high opinion of you so I am happy to watch your reaction while listening to This great Tim Minchin song! Wish you the best!
Of all the reaction video's of this, you're the only one that got it straight out of the gate. Tim's wicked clever
Love the Minch!
He's an absolute genius.
You had the best reaction!
“I assumed he was gonna say one thing and he said something else” is the basis of most jokes!
Love your reaction. One key for me in understanding chords (on the piano or on any other instrument) is that it's the interval between notes that's important. If you play a two note chord, that is, two different pure sound pitches (frequencies) together, say frequency X and frequency Y, the two frequencies will "beat" together as if you're hearing two additional notes, namely X+Y and X-Y: the sum, and the difference, of the two frequencies, sometimes called "overtones". That's pure physics, just to start with, nothing to do with human perception: an electronic device that analyzes frequencies will "hear" and report those overtones. They're real. If you add a third note to the chord, call it Z, the number of overtones shoots way up: you get X+Z, X-Z, Y+Z, Y-Z, in addition to the aforementioned X+Y and X-Y. So the complexity ratchets way up very quickly with each additional note you play.
The way we perceive those overtones, what the chord does to us, psychologically, is probably partly physiological, but it's also culturally bound. Minor chords sound "sad" to Western listeners, and Major chords sound "happy", in large part because we are used to hearing those chords applied for those purposes by composers who themselves grew up in the tradition. There's lots of other chords besides major and minor, and different cultures may have different emotional connotations attached to them by those cultures' musical traditions.
So learning about chords has a pure mathematical component, to do with the physics of how sound waves stack up against each other; and separately, a culturally bound component that makes sense within a particular human culture.
It's been some years since you posted your reaction, but if you haven't already, I can make no better recommendation than to suggest that you find a piano (or electronic equivalent) and just start banging away at a song you like. It may help to read some of Wikipedia's articles on music theory, for example the articles on "Major chord" and "Minor chord": Wikipedia is good because if I'm reading one article on one musical concept that has an idea in it that I haven't learned yet, I can just follow the link and read about the underlying concept, then go back to the previous article once I'm ready. I just have to remember to have that two pronged approach, the pure mathematics of sound combinations, and the psychological component of what those combinations mean, either within my own culture's musical tradition, or those of a culture different to my own. (Even if I don't understand it, I can still appreciate those "foreign" traditions in the same way that I enjoy the sound of the spoken Spanish language, without understanding what's being said.... it's fascinating and mysterious!)
It may seem like a daunting undertaking, but I promise that one can get there, and more easily than one might think when approaching the vastness of the subject for the first time.
Great video fantastic that he actually discusses the song and its meaning and not just watch and end.
Good luck with learning the piano.
Absolutely loved your reaction.... Tim Minchin plays on words he is very talented!
You are a very impressive human being: I'm really grateful I ended up 'meeting' you today.
This is the greatest reaction to this song. Ever. You are 100% right.
This was so fun! I love Tim Minchin!
Chords made simple from a piano teacher 😀: Chords are skips on the piano. If you want to play a major chord like C, C is the bottom note, then count 4 keys up for the middle note (E), then 3 keys up for the top note (G). (Count all black and white keys in order going up.) This process for finding major chords works on any key you start on, whether it's black or white. Minor chords work the same way, just backwards - count up 3 then 4. So C minor would be C, E-flat, G. The notes in the chords never change, so C major notes are always CEG, even if you play them out of order like GCE. Of course this gets more complex with jazz chords, but the basic structure doesn't change. 😀
Excellent react. First time I have seen you, known Tim's work for ages. Very nuanced understanding of words and stuff Devon
Thanks so much for this reaction and for sharing your perspective on language
I love this song, and I REALLY love seeing people’s reactions when they think they know what word he’s talking about only to realize he means a different word!
First, love Tim Minchin! This is such a unique comedic skit in my opinion. Second, I really appreciated the insight you gave, I found it genuinely enlightening and addressed productively. Great job!
He’s making us all think - high awareness. Loved that laugh of realisation.
hi, just found your channel, digging the way you follow a train of thought after the reaction and see where it goes. Music theory! wow, there's a youtube rabbit hole to go down!
Even more sophisticated. The song ‘Cont’ is brilliant.
Tim is both eloquent and intelligent. An accomplished musician and comedian. Very clever comedy. Love it ❤️
Well I'm about two years late but I appreciate any video of Tim Minchin. And more importantly I liked your discussion of the n bomb. I can still remember the last time I used it (aside from talking to my son about its usage). I hurt my ankle playing basketball and said it. Not at anyone - just as an expletive like s**t. It was part of the jargon of white suburbia. Then I thought about it and now it's one of those awful moments that you can't forget. That moment, 35 years ago, changed my life. It may have been my first adult decision, as a 15 year old, to never again use words that hurt people for who they are (but I'll still point and laugh at silly ideas like creationism and flat Earth, etc). Thanks for this thoughtful reaction
Great video :) so Bo Burnham has gone on record saying that Tim Minchin was a major inspiration for his work. Cool that this made you think of him so quickly
Great reaction! You have such a nice smile 😊
