    "I CANNOT CAMEMBERT IT ANYMORE!"
    Is possibly the greatest song lyric of all time.

      I love that when he does this sone live now, that lyric is by far the most popular moment of the night. I saw him a few days ago and it must have taken 20 tries before the audience actually let him finish the line

He's using that to really play up the fact that he's out of place with this fancy orchestra in this fancy theater and how funny it is that he's even there.
      So yes, that is the joke. I am just saying he executes it really well.

    I was about to order Minchin's video and I've read it "contains a seven minute song about cheese". I thought It was a joke! IT'S BRILLIANT!

    I can safely say this is the greatest tribute slash love declaration to cheese my ears have ever had the pleasure to experience.

    I had had this thing where I thought that, if I had enough will, and enough focus I would equal any one of those things that I cherish and love. Something like: It is a wonderfulness. It has come from human-ness, I am human-ness, therefore I can do wonderfulness too, QED.
    And then Tim arrived, and so we refocus, and realign, and a fresh paradigm is resurrected, and the scales fall from our eyes and then the words run out because we're still reeling from Tim...

    I just watched several Minchin videos and I am very very impressed. Reminds me of Frank Zappa a little bit, but with only one singer.

    @Elektro0Hexe Unfortunately, we can't show you the clever new songs because Tim's still touring them and wants to keep the surprises for those still to see them live, but they do exist, trust me.
