Haaaa
I saw Sam Campbell at the Sit Down Comedy Club in Brisbane in 2013 and he threw durries into the crowd and it was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. 10 years later I still think about it.
What a performance
Just come to have a look,as he's on series 16 UK taskmaster can't wait 😁
That program has gone down hill. Series 8 was the best. S16 line-up looks crap
Same here. This guy has massive John Kearns energy...except that he actually has some energy. He's my pick for funniest + most psychotically random.
@@nicky_nike Aaron Chen would have been a better Aussie choice for TM, I haven't laughed once at any of this lad's material.
@@nicky_nikeSeason 7 was better.
@@teeman8999 ok 7 and 8.
Saw him in Melbourne. Haven’t smiled, laughed that much ever
Kinda reminds me of James Acaster. TM is my gateway to many great comedians!
I'm fascinated by the psychology of people who think he's not funny at all because I don't think there's ever been another standup who makes me laugh so hard so consistently. I was crying with laughter like a minute into this
i came to see if he was funny after watching 2 episodes of Taskmaster with him on them, I thought that as i found him only mildly irritating and nothing else that i must be missing something, but no. i watched this and i didn't get annoyed, nor irritated and certainly didn't raise a smile. it's seems to be a chap out of place, as if he's turned up for the wrong job interview, tries to blag it anyway but doesn't get the job. can you perhaps point to something in his set that was funny? perhaps with some help I'll "get it".
@@dannygolightly865 I think "as if he's turned up for the wrong job interview and tries to blag it anyway" is actually a decent description and it gets at why I find him funny! A lot of his schtick is kinda like he's an old school observational comedian who doesn't really know anything about the real world or how to construct a joke properly. As someone who finds most "typical" standup unfunny, his particular style of subverting the structures is really funny to me.
Like jumping to "Someone was telling me the West is collapsing" out of nowhere is already hilarious to me because it's so jarring that he'd just suddenly bring up this huge political topic with zero transition. And the way he says "Is that [breath] true?" as though he's randomly out of breath and has no idea where he's even going with it. Then where a normal comedian would probably go on to make some satirical political commentary about the topic, it's like all he can come up with is "there's too many clocks". And it's like he's trying to go into this classic "What's the deal with / in my day" routine complaining about society but he's talking about clocks and he's also not confident at all in it. "Back in my day - well not in my day, but wasn't there a time - I don't know actually - surely there was -"
So by the time he does actually pin down his argument against there being "too many clocks" it's totally absurd. I always find it so funny the way he builds up to getting outraged about something that makes no sense like using the microwave to check the time, implying he's some kind of clock conservative who believes society has gone soft because we don't check the time on the town clock tower anymore. "Midnight would travel through your body! It'd put ya right!"
On top of that I just find his mannerisms and use of language really funny. There's this out-of-place eloquence and old-timeyness to the way he relates some things which obviously contrasts with the absurdity of the content and his general awkwardness. I feel like detractors seem to think the awkwardness and clumsiness is actual incompetence lol but it's clearly intentional and he uses it very cleverly.
@@sione_etcthis is such an excellent analysis of what makes Sam so funny. It’s breathtakingly perfect nonsense (and it’s obvious why other comedians love him)
Haha! thankyou for constructing this little deeper dive. I already love cambo but reading this analysis of the jokes I already love made me giggle some more. + a little deeper insight is always fun. It's always satisfying when something is just great silly absurd comedy on the surface but upon reflection you realize there is really precise reasons why it is funny. @@sione_etc
@@dannygolightly865he made me laugh harder than anyone else on Taskmaster. He seemed to make the other comedians laugh the most too, especially Alex Horne.
If you get the chance you gotta see this bloke live. Hysterical stuff
What’s the difference ?
why?
I saw this fella in London last month and have never laughed so much at a comedy show
Absolutely genius- totally fresh and unpredictable each time.
The clock bit was ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Eggerson Keaveney back at it again
I hope he took his 27 empties from the bushes.
@@dwaynedibley6339 They weren't his, though :P
@@KangarooKommandoI'm sure that it's true because he's eggerson KEEV-NEE
On the bright side, chiropractors are still not needed 😂
peep the redfern electrical shirt. nice.
"FG...FFS " 😂
What an ending 😂
Ugh, sorry guys, there weren't any jokes about Married at First sight on channel 10 or getting trained at a club so I don't understand what's going on
Vatican City let's goooooo!
Soooo good!
WILTY. amazing
That's what brought me here. He was so funny on it. Gonna UA-cam binge him now.
🤣😂literally crying
And me
Microwave always blinking 12:00 though
I honestly thought he was talking about quarks in the beginning. 'Straylia, right?
Australian Acaster?
Acaster is the worst
This guy’s gotta lot of Acaster about him
that's exactly what I was thinking
i can sort of see that, but Acaster does also say some funny things and his awkwardness is better placed@@caseycryan4277
Next to this guy Acaster is a put together rational chartered accountant
It’s literally anti comedy and I fucken love it
What's anti-comedy about it?
@@bravetherainbow it’s like he’s doing satire on what a comedy special is. I just can’t imagine anyone else doing this kind of material and making it funny 😂
@@SirBonsley I dunno a lot of these jokes seem like pretty straightforward comedy jokes.
An "anti-joke" is when you're expecting some funny twist but then they just say something completely literal and commonplace instead. Not really what's happening here.
@@bravetherainbow can you explain how the west is collapsing joke with too many clocks is straightforward comedy? What about climbing into the chimney at the Vatican?
@@SirBonsley They're both pretty absurd, but especially the Vatican chimney one seems like using a piece of trivia to make a funny image/silly situation? That seems pretty common in standup comedy to me?
I dunno. I should make it clear I think this guy's great, either way.
He's like James Acaster with ADHD instead of autism
feet!
LoL ! :D
Theres too many clocks should have got more. try yelling the start of each new idea. im not a comedian so
Did Dave Hughes have a kid?
Was there a joke in there somewhere?
Yeah lots, he’s a very good stand up comedian
He decent
Yeah the start middle and end just like my favourite erotic novel
So terrible
@@joshodavo what stand up comedians are you a fan of, I'm always on the look out for new stuff
Err, yeah nah, ok delivery but baaaad material. Maybe ok for an Ozzie pub crowd but too formulaic and lacks creativity. Call me a snob but he's not for comedy aficionados (Kitson, Lee, Cook, Coogan etc is my vibe if that helps)
Sadly he was just not funny. Those who find him funny seem to remark that it is his disconnect from reality and the absurdness of what he is saying that makes it funny. It leads me to believe that they are more laughing at him than with him.
I feel like his jokes would be better delivered by someone else. It's like he's still working on his comedy at an open mic night.
That’s his style and part of what makes him unique and hilarious
Liked him on Cats and Taskmaster but he bombed here. Just bad writing.
Came looking for his stand-up after seeing him on Taskmaster, where I found him quite amusing.. not impressed by his stand-up one bit though
now they all cus.. but still their not funny
Cussing? Fr?
Until you know and understand the difference between they're (they are) and their (possession, ownership) you don't get to have an opinion.
@@Jagabot_Esq. No free speech? Will U forcefully vaccine & chip me as well?
What an idiotic thing to say.
Show me someone who never cusses, and I'll show you a fuckin' liar 😉
Not funny.
I LOVE him but that was painful 🙈 CLOCKS???
