Tim is a comedian that is an exceptional song writer and an excellent piano player. But you need to listen to his words he has alot of hidden meanings that shows what a genius. I just love his videos. He's brilliant.
this man got me through the loss of my husband 8 years ago ... and now he is getting me through other lifechanging times )) i so love his humor and intelligence - my 7 year old daughter is dreaming of singing with him - writes her own songs so cheeky and u only can sell that to adults^^
This is my first impression of Tim, and he’s a god on piano and vocals omg, but he doesn’t get to me in humor as much as Bo. He’s still so cool, though, and I totally see your hype over him
His song about the pope on the surface is an excuse for lots of swearing but in reality is a well worded rant about the wrong doings of someone who in the eyes of many others is incapable of doing wrong
"Sticks and stones may break your bones, but words can break hearts" - Tim Minchin "Sticks and stones may break your bones, but words can break your heart" - Bo Burnham
"stick and stones can break bones but words can break your heart" Bo Burnham also said that in his songs who do you think influenced each other? Bo got it from Tim or the opposite?
Musical Comedy thanks, it's so awesome to see Bo adopt some of the techniques of others. Although I love both, Bo trully has a special place in my heart and now Tim as well. Thanks for sharing!
well it's a common saying no? I mean I knew it years before I ever heard of them and my native language is Dutch. Wonder where it originated though, if someone knows please help me out! :)
Moreheroes oh other than the song I hadn't heard it before. I'm also not a native English speaker so I wouldn't know, Bo may still have been inspired from Tim though?
To be honest bo burnham is funnier than tim minchin, but I think Tim Minchin is a musician who uses comedy and Bo Burnham is a comedian who uses music. (This is actually the first video I watched of Tim so this is my first reaction of him.)
Tim is a full time musician, he did comedy for about 6 years then went on to other musical things. He should be returning to comedy sometime this year.
Everyone is commenting about bo like no stfu go away Bo burnhams comedy is just easier to understand but Tims is clever and people that don't have a smart sense of humour just say bo is better cuz of his easy comedy
ZOE LOVES DRAG QUEENS both are clever, bo is very smart with words. I think that's why it's more accessible as well, that's part of its genius. both are hilarious in their own way so isn't very smart to compare the two when one is just more popular ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Bo was highly influenced by (and arguably wouldn't exist in his idiom without Tim). Comparing their popularity is rather difficult. Tim is extremely popular in Australia and the UK, but is relatively unknown in the US, and vice versa for Bo. Tim is more based in theatre (his first play "Matilda" is in the Guinness Book of World Records for the most Olivier awards ever received, and his second play also won Best New Production), Bo is more based in Hollywood with some parts in movies and shows.
i get being annoyed at all the bo comments, but you don't need to compare them my man. both are reasonably likeable and neither should be compared because at the end of the day, comedy is subjective and nobody is lesser for liking the other more.
the number of times someone says a particular word is hardly interesting. I can say clusterfuck 500 times in a row and all it would mean is I'm ridiculous. Why I love Tim's work is not because he swears, but because of the context and significance of his use of language.
Depends on the sense of humour. Tim Minchin is more so in accordance to the traditional sort of British or Australian dark comedy, while Bo is obviously more sarcastic modern comedy, though still more driven by the American format.
