Charlie I don’t understand why there are so many negative comments, like, why come here to watch this if you don’t like him - this is fairly standard material for fielding, I think it’s hilarious personally but 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
I get surrealism but It's not really comedy and not that funny, it's like expressive dance but with words and I'm not a fan of expressive dance either.
If you didn't laugh you didn't get it. Fuck off. Noel Fielding is an overrated hack whose main shtick is be le random and goofy. The Mighty Boosh was the only good thing he did and Barrett was all the talent on that.
I LOVE YOU, NOEL ~ He is a glittering rainbow ball of happiness so off the possible scale with which to measure happiness, that it broke said scale. He's on par with unicorns and space monkeys in tutus. :)
He wasn't actually using a monotone voice at all. He was using a voice which mimics the sound of an annoying fly in your house. At the end of each sentence his voice changes to mimic that subtle sound a fly makes as it lands...and then silence. Noel's ability to use expressive voices is one of his most amazing talents. The voice, the fly movements around the stage, the timing (stop and start) and the smug fly telling the story about how annoying he is, make for unique & innovative comedy.
I love how he's basically gone on a show full of bland, generic observational comedy, and blown everyone else out of the water by doing another piece of observational comedy. What really makes it for me, is how uncomfortable it is for all the people in the audience; they just have no fucking clue how they should be reacting.
What I find funniest about the fly thing was that for the first 3 or 4 lines, I thought he was just odd, doing one of his jokes that I don't get or don't like. Then it became progressively funny as it went on.
if this is the best standup youve seen i feel very, very sorry for you and encourage you to watch other comedy bc youve clearly only seen this particular show and nothing else if you truly believe that and i say this as someone who likes noel fielding
There's a lot of comments that are sharing the opinion that this routine is shit, and I agree. But apparently, that is because Noel had no time to prepare an actual routine for this show- he was only told he was gonna be on hours before they started recording.
The guy has been doing stand up for 2 decades, he has material (which Im sure at least 95% of the audience wouldnt have seen). If he chose to improvise that was his decision. I think it worked.
All his routines are awful. But here's the clever part, he knows that. He's literally trolling the crowd, saying any old random crap and people will laugh just because they are at a comedy show. Anchor Man 2 did the same thing, make a film about complete nonsense and the human sheep will love it.
And just how many comedians have ever pulled off either a musical number, done a ventriloquist act or done a 3-minute routine pretending to be an insect/animal with success? not many from what I've seen. Long may you rule Noel Fielding/Vince Noir/The Mighty Boosh.
I guess the beautiful thing about comedy is it's subjectiveness. This sort of "randomist" comedy (a la Noel Fielding, Ross Noble, Julian Barratt, Richard Ayoade etc) is actually really really difficult to do convincingly and get a laugh from it. The audience members laughing weren't laughing AT him, whereas most who attempted it would look stupid. It's just the way their mind works that's so impressive i guess, they see the world differently. Genius and madness are often the same thing.
stripedhyenuh I saw his most recent show live and i wasn't too sure about it since all the standup i'd seen wasn't great, but it was genuinely fantastic. he did about an hour of standup then did an hour or so of sketches and I've never laughed so much in my life. His stuff is very hit or miss i guess.
Noel Fielding's awesome :) He's just so unique, there should be more people like him in the world. There are too many people who are afraid to look anything other than 'normal' and just copy the fashion etc of everyone else :(
LOVE THIS!! I know all the words to his whole performance! Even the song! Love himmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!! My friends get a bit creeped out when I start saying the words along with him though...
Not much. I was at this recording and he pretended to be a fly for around 10 minutes. And they edited in a LOT of the laughs. I'm a fan, but he wasn't doing well that night.
For all the "he's just not funny" and "he shouldn't do stand up" comments below, I just laughed out loud at his fly bit. I've watched it before and not laughed, but I've realised lately just how much my sense of humour depends on my mood. One day something can make me cry with laughter and the next, nothing. He's not your typical traditional safe bet, but I like what he does. I don't mind that it's not what we expect from a stand up comic. He's just doing something and I like it.
This standup was the shit at my school for ages! We'd just walk into lessons saying 'heres me coming in, Im a terrific blueeebottleeeeeeeee!!!' Classic times xD love noel, love this!
When I first saw Noel I hadn't heard of the Mighty Boosh and therefore had no clue who he was, I thought he was about 20-25 and just starting comedy or something :P A couple of days later I looked this up on youtube and saw a few comments on the Boosh and decided to look it up. I'm now proud to say I love both him and the Boosh and I'm addicted :D
i dunno about the rest of y'all, but i can't get enough of this! it's incredibly fresh, and strangely addicting. it's like looking at traditional observational humor through the back of a spoon.
