Genius. He makes all the participants look good and he starts off by creating low expectations but then consistently raises the bar. His sense of timing is amazing.
Saw him at a stand up show years ago in Birmingham and he was brilliant. The way he was getting audience members to do the most ridiculous things just by facial expressions! Always keep an eye out for his name
@@essennagerry He tours the world he is originally from new zealand i remember seeing a show from him years and years before he went on agt, not sure if he still goes by the name but his name originally was "The boy with tape on his face" then he did agt and tape face stuck
You know why I think he is the best? That this is the best type of comedy? I showed this whole 20 minute long video to my parents. Who DO NOT speak or understand english. Yet they understood the comedy and laughed for the whole time.
Fun fact: That exact concept was the original idea for famous character Mr. Bean. Rowan Atkinson even had the first Mr. Bean act tested with an audience of people who didn't speak english just to make sure it was universally funny
The one with the toilet seat and horse race is just unreal. How can anyone come up with an act like that? 😂 And his timing with the music is incredible. There was no room for a mistake and he absolutely nailed it. What a comedic genius!
I love the cheerful “hi tapeface! How have you been?” In the second clip. Like he’s not even here to compete, he’s just an old friend that stopped by to do some weird shit
It is literally impossible to hate this guy. Every act he comes up with something new and unique makes you wanna keep watching him more and more. Honestly I could watch him all day long just to see what silly thing he comes up with next
His genius, as Howie was pointing out, is that he has brought the art of Mime to the modern world on prime time television. The face paint. The striped uniform. The body language. Building a world in the mind of the audience, and adding new polish to old fashioned parlor tricks. Genius.
This dude has modernized the mime in such a cool way! Passionate hard working, involving the others, to get them entertained, that’s so refreshing. I’d also like to say that Mel is absolutely gorgeous even with a toilet seat around the neck!
I like how first he did the acts by himself,then he’d ask the judges,and then even the people from BACK stage,one person from the crowd of thousands,and even four men to make a hug chair!
@@commanderkeen3787 Jerry did pantomime over in France where he was very successful and was known for being a famous silent clown over there. By that time, people in the US knew him as a loud crazy man-child of the Martin and Lewis comedy team and would find his silent pantomime act too out-of-character here.
Tape Face, we hope you're somewhere being an absolute riot and as successful as possible. This is truly a wonderful watch! Loved every minute of your just light hearted demeanor and creative humor. Hats off my friend!
\hoping on the 4 years later train to say I don't find this funny at all. Remove the audience laugh track and this is so bang average, it's kids cartoon levels of comedy
hes to good i love his acts, his timeing, his props, and his look dead eyes and black around them makes him look right out of a horror movie he has to be the best there has ever been
One of the most original acts I've ever seen and funniest. If I ever return to Las Vegas I hope Tape Face is still performing there. After years I still remember him and every act he did on AGT.
I don´t know why, but I just love him! He is so weird, creepy and funny. I first thought he was some kind of a "singing" ventriloquist (the first act with those kitchen mittens) But as it turns out, he is so much more lol! =D
My best friend got me and her tickets to go see him live in NC at the DCAP for my birthday and it was incredible, he gets the whole audience involved and it was an incredible experience
These acts and concepts seem so simple yet Tape Face makes it so incredibly entertaining by exaggerating his actions as well as playing with audio, you can really get a feel of this character he is playing and not once has he needed to speak a word. THAT takes true talent.
How many years later and honestly I still think about this audition and how much the mits made me laugh 😂 this was JOY so happy for him and his success ❤❤❤❤❤
Okay. This takes fucking skill. This guy had full control of himself. The first act? With the mitts? 90% of the performance was his EYES. D'you know how hard it is to perform with just your EYES!? Yet he made it look absolutely STELLAR.
Ţwø Śäşšÿ ßøýś he's pretty strict on his choice of entertainment and the fact that he smiled throughout the entire show and was genuinely interested means a lot
Watching Simons face was definitely fun. You could tell he was entertained but low key confused, at first. Then he picked up on the subtle genius of it
This brings back some great nostalgia. I remember first seeing tapeface on agt and I thought it was the funniest thing ever. I was so sad when he got voted out. Thanks for helping me feel 7 years old again
quasicat c Sometimes really just somtimes weird? He my good friend is werid (and I know weird I am weird) all the time your right on the nose with the rest he is most definitely funny and mysterious.
Tape Face is super nice and funny. I went to see his personal show I London and I went up stage with him! He kept coming back into the audience and sitting right behind me hehe.
How do you know he takes it off? Have you ever seen him without it? No, you haven't so you can't be sure that he takes it off. Maybe he puts a tube in his nose and feeds that way.
Fantastic. Haven't sat and enjoyed as well as have a good hearty laugh like this is some time. At first I thought silly. It was and just got more intense with talent. To think he never says a word. Expression and act alone.
I find him totally hilarious and creative. His acts are so unique and original and I laugh every damn time! At first I wanted to dislike him cuz I thought he was going to be obnoxious but I was an idiot and juged a book by it's taped up cover lol
Tape face is an absolute legend. He was my favourite act in that season( 10 or 11, I don't remember ) I loved his comedy and weirdness, and everything about him!!! Amazing man!! I'm pretty sure he's speechless on how far he went... Tape Face the legend...
I know I've seen this comment on another one of his videos but it needs to be said again: Someone who can make an entire audience die with laughter with a pair of oven mitts deserves some recognition
