The great thing about his shows is that he tells so many jokes that you have forgotten most of them before you even get half-way, so you watch it over and over and still laugh at jokes you could swear weren't there the last time you saw the show.
His vocals are a slightly changed Too Much Heaven by the Bee Gees. The backing is something else because I'm guessing he didn't have the rights to a direct copy.
I've just moved from watching some of the most offensive jokes ever by Jimmy Carr to the far more innocent Tim Vine. I smiled a little at Jimmy Carr. I literally laughed out loud at Tim Vine. Being funny without being offensive is a rare skill - and far harder than smut and bad language.
Carr reminds me of someone who was bullied a lot at school and has become snarky and cynical in his response. He's chosen to react that way with his material
I can't elaborate on your point without saying how I feel about stand up in general: I was never one for stand up. To me for the most part its just a guy with a microphone on stage gossiping cynically about this n' that for half an hour or more. Not talentless but not worth the money either. The only stand up I like on the whole is Rowan Atkinson since he puts on actual performances (not what you'd call stand up) and like you say, there are certain moments of Tim Vine that get me laughing a lot.
He is bloody great,just a naturally extremely funny man. To me he ranks with people like Tommy Cooper and Frankie Howerd. Pure,daft and very funny comedy.
Yes, his wife must have felt very lost indeed having to watch people laugh at him on TV, surrounding him in validation and adoration, just before he came home and gave her a good battering.. Fuck that cowardly woman beater and his fake underbite.. I'm glad I saw him start snoring on live TV now.. Bet she was too..
Is that seriously all you have to say? "He doesn't swear." So by your standards, he doesn't have to have any talent at all or be the slightest bit funny or entertaining, so long as he doesn't swear? Grow the fuck up. If a dude's funny, he's funny. Doesn't matter if he swears or not. But if that's your only take away is that he doesn't swear, then maybe comedy isn't your thing. Maybe Bob Ross is more your speed. Or the PTL club.
+Robbie Wallace Yes he is a genuinely nice guy - I think that's a real element of his success because the audience like him and want him to do well! I've been to two of his theatre shows now and he just instantly puts the audience at ease and takes them along with him - it's just a really nice atmosphere!
Torchure put me at de edge of de cliff and 'nothin we're not a real shop' sent me cleanly off haha he always slays me no matter how many times i hear even his old stuff as well
Wasn’t laughing at all. The boxing glove turned out to be a torch. I lost it. Well done. Edit: 4 years later and I still come back to this video often. It’s the vid that got me into Tim’s stand up and I’m so grateful for it. I still can’t pick up a torch without my daughter pointing it out 😂🤷♂️
I went to my local Indian restaurant the other day n I asked for the chicken tarka. The waiter said don't u mean chicken tikka sir? I said no it's like chicken tikka only it's a little otter!
The only thing that annoys me about this video is that the red semaphore signals either side of the stage aren't supposed to have notched ends? Or something along those lines.
I can also see quite a bit of Tommy Cooper in his style aswell but Tim and Harry started around the same time although I think Tim was starting just before Harry released his first tour Video
Tim Vine is the king of dad jokes. Or mum jokes, doesn't really matter, it's all relative
even flow don't forget Tommy cooper, the man who inspired Tim
even flow that was brilliant
wow i read this exactly when he said it, so trippy 😂
No profanity and safe for all ages
Mum? You don't say.
The great thing about his shows is that he tells so many jokes that you have forgotten most of them before you even get half-way, so you watch it over and over and still laugh at jokes you could swear weren't there the last time you saw the show.
+vinny142 It astounds me how he can rattle them off so quickly. An insanely talented man.
I laugh at the ones I DO remember too though.. I'm only here BECAUSE ''the answer is - it's a torch'' . lol
Tim Vine's work is art. Sublime, surreal art. It has a rhythm. One which is somehow so familiar and inevitable ... but actually uniquely his.
Oh look at this comment section- oh its a torch 🔦
You're "torch"-uring me.😂
Brilliant. I just love how hes got the balls to just go straight for it, doesnt take himself too seriously. Lovely stuff
Who would've thought torches would be so funny?
And yet, I don't think it would play as well with flashlights...
They're always good to lighten the mood
Just light entertainment 😉👍
who would've torched thoughts would be so funny?
@@rowynnecrowley1689 With all these Torch Puns there really is light at the end of tunnel!
A talent so rare today.no swearing & very funny.
Sammy Sheaf pisshead
@Gennady Golovkin Gay boy? Really? Well, isn't that over-generalising...
Where dads go to get their material.
@MichaelKingsfordGray Ooh! An edgy internet hero.
“It’s torture”
“I guess you could say we need someone to lighten the mood”
You mean... TORCHURE
How he got away with that last song is genius
John Dolan what song is it
His vocals are a slightly changed Too Much Heaven by the Bee Gees. The backing is something else because I'm guessing he didn't have the rights to a direct copy.
I cannot stop watching it hahaha
Is it a boxing glove?
Is it a shoe?
The answer is...
It's a torch. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The man's an actual genius
I walked through a flea market the other day and I tell you I was itching to get out of there.
I just came back from a 'once in a lifetime holiday'.... Never again!
I fell off the catwalk whilst modelling a pair of crimson gloves. Luckily someone saved me. I was caught red handed.
He doesn't need gross topics or swearing, he's just pure genius.

@@moodydude6790 nah mate stand up is am art, people like lee Evans and Peter kay have had me on the floor crying from laughter
@@corpgov there's nothing wrong with swearing
He was mean to Flag Hippo though.
He is bloody great,just a naturally extremely funny man. To me he ranks with people like Tommy Cooper and Frankie Howerd.

+feralferret Hmm no,Tommy Cooper was one of the greats.

@@reemlsilkworm who beats who?!
@@Bayshuck But he couldn't write his own material, unlike Tim.
Nice to see a comedian that doesn't swear.
You're fuckin right there!
But his first words in this video were ‘dick please’
@Matthew Dawood Khaghani fuckin right ya cock!

Tim is a great person. A real gentleman. I wish he was still in Not Going Out.
+Robbie Wallace Yes he is a genuinely nice guy - I think that's a real element of his success because the audience like him and want him to do well! I've been to two of his theatre shows now and he just instantly puts the audience at ease and takes them along with him - it's just a really nice atmosphere!
+tjf4375 He's like Boris Johnson's lost twin.
Not going out never been the same since tim left.
"Of course binoculars is plural - the singular is telescope." :D LOL
An illuminating example of the Punmeister's art.
The glass of water slayed me
The only comedian who can make me cry with laughter, hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂
The dislike bar....
what's that red dot on the end?
...it's a torch
This is the first time I ever saw Tim Vine, less than a year later, I've seen all of his gigs & become a fan of Not Going Out, says a lot!
This dude needs to Come to America to make US laugh
Best Bee Gees take off ever. God bless them all.
5:13 Sounds like late Dylan.
Cried with laughter for a solid 5 minutes at "mmister Plum" 😂
Torchure put me at de edge of de cliff and 'nothin we're not a real shop' sent me cleanly off haha he always slays me no matter how many times i hear even his old stuff as well
The Mr. Plumm joke is my absolute favorite
Mmr. Plum*
I used to have guys like this come through my line at work. Always made my day.
He torched the building at this gig.
Is it a comment or is it a torch?
Is it a comment or is it a torch?
Is it a comment or is it a torch?
The answer is
it’s a torch
One fractional stumble in all the jokes I've ever seen him deliver. Ab-absolutely marvellous.
Could watch him all day! Excellent :)
If we had Oscars for jokes the MMr Plum joke would get a life time achievement award.
i tried to press the like button but it was a torch.
I worked in a sewage farm I had my own stool to sit on at lunchtime
That Astronaut Joke was gold haha.
Wasn’t laughing at all.
The boxing glove turned out to be a torch.
I lost it.
Well done.
Edit: 4 years later and I still come back to this video often. It’s the vid that got me into Tim’s stand up and I’m so grateful for it.
I still can’t pick up a torch without my daughter pointing it out 😂🤷♂️
One of the funniest comedians
His torch jokes are just *TORCH-ture*
THATS A TORCH ASWELL!!!
10 people thought it was a boxing glove
gareth cooney he shouldn’t use that torch as a glove. He could knock your lights out :>
rimski - No
I thought it was a shoe
5:59 "oh look at that, its a torch!" that had me in fits
This man is my inspiration
He makes me laugh, cry even. Thanks Tim. Look his Ventriloquist sketch and try not to laugh. I dare you.
Great. Real comedy is always based on real life! Love it!!!
First time I've seen the Bee Gees impersonation,nearly ruptured my spleen! So funny!! :-)
Excellent, lover the Bee Gee singing at the end
that was torcher lol. Tim Vine is great
Ridiculous lunacy...that only Tim could get away with 😅
The king of dad jokes!
So the Baked potato with a torch in it...?
A sort of Spud-U-Light...?
Eoghan MP haha 😂
Eoghan MP is it a potato or is it a torch
@@romainsavioz5466 Neither. It's a prop.
@@rowynnecrowley1689 it's a torch that looks like a potato

Haha don't give up your day job mate!
Only the comedian Steve coogan could have been
He may well be the most likeable guy in the world
Incredibly talented and entertaining . Spot on.
He is a literary expert and a wordsmith also a complete nut job 😂 that singing got me laughing out loud.
He is so off the wall you never know where he is!
the torch jokes made me beam!
Nervous Legs sounds like something that John Foxx would do ;)
saw him do this live...pissed my pants!
Torch song is just hilarious!
An act based on English is she is spoke. Marvellous stuff!
I find it pretty funny that his last name is vine. Very fitting.
It's torch-ure. lol
''a torch'' should be released as a single.
And now I need to stitch my sides back up! Too good.
There's also a torch hanging from the ceiling.
That's the highlight of the show.
He could make it as a lead vocalist or a voice over artist as well.
The multi talented TV
The Mr Plumb gag set me off.
Oh my god, he's the funniest man alive.
Anyone feel like watching The Sketch Show now? Haha
I say, you cant hold a Torch to him. :-)
A Real National Treasure........I get face ache every time he’s on TV....a live performance would probably kill me....
Great guy, harmless fun, top comedian
Gawd of the dad joke.
His Barry Gibb parody is excellent
2 people had a nervous mouse
Time Vine is the best 👍😂
He is the humanisation of a dad joke in comic sans
Great one lines. Didn't he get some kind of record?
Yes that Not Going Out show was great
So funny it's unreal !
that bee gees tribute / impression killed me
I went to my local Indian restaurant the other day n I asked for the chicken tarka. The waiter said don't u mean chicken tikka sir? I said no it's like chicken tikka only it's a little otter!
great timing
lol... this guy likes torches!
The only thing that annoys me about this video is that the red semaphore signals either side of the stage aren't supposed to have notched ends?
Or something along those lines.
Delivery is everything 😂👏👏
what a weird unit 😅🤣 i love it
The Bee Gee's song is mostly "Too Much Heaven".
There's a lot of Tommy Cooper in his gags.
You just cant fault the guy.....brilliant stuff......good nights entertainment
It's not any specific song. He's prodying Bee Gees' ballads in general.
Ever ready to tell a torch joke....some are positive and some negative
3:43 I first thought he said "disguise the limit" - took me a few seconds (and rewinds) to get the joke.
I can also see quite a bit of Tommy Cooper in his style aswell but Tim and Harry started around the same time although I think Tim was starting just before Harry released his first tour Video
He’s such a genius
What's Tim Vine's favourite videogame?
TORCHLIGHT!
Bee Gees is genius.....simple as that.
Hey
Look at this comment
It's a torch
