I really enjoy the way he sets up all these smaller jokes, like the sheets, key card, shortbread and Bible, and then combines them all into one scenario - like some sort of enormous towel :D
I used to work in a hotel as the wake up call operator! It was a fun job. If no one answered we would send someone to the room to see if the person was okay. It was a very serious thing!
@@nishajassal1476 I'm a flight attendant and have been for over 30 years. Perhaps the reason that people don't say anything when they pick up the wake-up call is because at least 70% if not 80% of hotels don't have a live person on the other end. The phone rings and you say hello and no one is there. Most hotels have a recording that is looped saying, "Good Morning. This is your wake-up call. The time is now " ____", and if you don't hang up right away it will just continue on the audio loop peating itsellf. My personal favorite wake-up calls are hotels that have the current and that day's weather forecast pre-recorded to hear when you answer the call. correction, my favorite wake up calls are from Stouffer hotels in the US. if you asked for a wake-up call they also asked if you'd like tea or coffee or hot chocolate and which newspaper you would prefer. So your wake-up call is a knock at the door at whatever time you've requested with the tray of a hot beverage a glass of orange juice a newspaper and it's complimentary for EVERY guest!!(They, of course, also ask how many guests will be waking up at whatever time you've told them and if it's more than one person they get everyone's individual beverage request. if you tell them you need a wake up call for one person at 8 a.m. and another person at 9:30 a.m. they do the same thing and bring separate trays. there used to be a Stouffer's hotel in most major US cities but I've been flying to Asia and South America for the last 8 years so I don't know which cities they are located in now. I asked you your statement about people being rude and not saying anything to you could very well be that they, like myself usually stay in hotels that does not have a live person calling the rooms. I am sure that there were some people that are/were intentionally rude. However in the defense of my fellow frequent travelers, many of us are not being rude -or do you not know we are being rude_ we simply don't think that a live person is on the other end! I thank you for pointing this out though. From now on when I call and ask for my wake-up call I will ask if it will be a live person or a recording so that if it is a person I can make sure to answer with a "Hello?" and to make certain that I thank them properly for the wake-up call.
His use of his whole body to express actions and emotions is what really makes his jokes friggen hilarious. Like Fluttering his hands to make eyelashes. Pretending to be his wife putting on stockings backwards and forwards. Being distressed because he's stuck in the horrid tight bed sheets. Walking cross stage with the mini kettle as he goes to fill it up in the bathroom. He just takes you straight to the moment. Funniest comedian ever.
I saw Michael last week in Hobart Tasmania - has been a favourite comedian for some years now and he was bloody hilarious. As you say he is a semi physical comedian so the humour is so easy to see and laugh till you cry!! Long may he entertain us.
My absolute all time fave example of him doing this is his impression of grateful hazard light flashing Just the hazard light impression to begin with was spot on But his impression of when you flash them as a thank you to another driver was too perfect He's a brilliant physical comedian, honestly
@@lfcredman8780 I definitely don't have a problem with swearing, but I realize that some people do. However, for some reason I wouldn't think that people who are generally offended by swearing would be offended when he swears because it just seems to work in his jokes and he doesn't make the words seem vulgar. He also swears very, very little
Klas13Klas13 it's just whenever you hear the audience laughing in plays and films and stuff I always find it annoying, even though when they don't add it in I miss it...😅
Death Eater Ah - I see what you mean and I can agree with you on that. But if a live audience wouldn’t laugh at your jokes... that wouldn’t be too great 🤔😄
I used to work as a receptionist when I was a student and if Michael McIntyre had asked me to join him for breakfast, I'd have gone in a heartbeat. He's super-cute!
As someone who works in a 5 star hotel this is beyond hilarious, but trust me all the “irrelevant” things you find there eventually are relevant 🤣 you’d never believe what people ask for
LOL I died laughing over the WWII evacuee/Duvet bit. LOL. Love the connections he makes, they're hilarious. - totally agree, they should give you Duvets, I don't understand this 'sheets so tight they could be a trampoline' business.
Love Michael. I'm in the US and only discovered him on RU-vid. My absolute favorite comedian. So, where's the bit about the Scandinavian hotel? Would've been a great addition to this vid.
Yes!! Same. I like that he barely swears. It's inline with his posh accent! Also, I don't think of him as a crude comic either which also works well with the posh àccent.
Me, watching McIntyre with earphones: *strangled wheeze* Friend: You alright Me: Yeah, I'm just watching Michael McIntyre Friend: Ah, of course. Carry on
Yes that turning down the bed, brought back memories of when I was working in hotel in school holidays. I had to turn beds, and I knocked on one door, and the man didn't speak english, and I was trying to explain what I was there for. I wondered what he was thinking, especially when I went to the bed to turn the sheets down. So weird and funny, especially when most don't know what's going on. Also walking rooms with a man lying on the bed with only undies on, or running to hid because they're naked. A good subject for comedy. Enjoyed the sketch immensely.
Just discovered Michael McIntyre, wish I knew about him sooner (though not being a UK citizen, never even been there, probably caused that). He really is a genius, and I like that he is having as much fun on stage as his audience have listening to him :)
I completely agree with the wake up calls being awkward and it's just as awkward for the person making the call. I work as a night porter and usually the last job for me is wake up calls and it's usually awkward. The only times it's not awkward is when it's a business person who's used to staying in hotels. It's nice when I go to a hotel that has a automated wake up call
At least British get a mini tea kettle! In america they only have a one cup coffee machine...so to make tea you have to really work it for a cup of tea...
Wow, it's like he's observed all of these hilarious things in hotels - anyone who has been to a hotel before is highly likely to identify with McIntyre's observations, and to find them amusing.
When I'm on holiday and the hotel has a breakfast buffet, no matter how hot the place is, I always take my jacket, throw it on the back of the chair and head to the buffet without sitting down
I like the sewing kits. They’ve helped several times with sewing buttons that have come off, safety pins for holding things together, thread and needle for sewing rips... I’ve started carrying mine whenever I travel though. Always need them at weddings, graduations, etc. if not for me, then others.
He's always so funny ~ My all time favorite will always be when he teases Prince William and Catherine about bed time story !!! and seeing them genuinely be in stitches !!!
OMG totally brilliant and hilarious!!! Never tire to watch him. Such talent in making real situations so funny 🤣 🤣🤣❤❤❤ Thank you Michael, you are awesome!
A Waitrose advert in the middle of a Michael McIntyre video...just spat out my coffee and my co-workers have just phoned for the men in white coats!! 🤣
