- On 12 June 2014, EMBL-EBI (/www.ebi.ac.uk) celebrated its 20th anniversary on the Genome Campus in Hinxton, UK. It was a beautiful, sunny day, full of good food and excellent company. Robin Ince was one of the main highlights of the day - his lecture kept everyone laughing for close to an hour! Thanks very much to Robin for coming and making a great day truly remarkable.

About this video
The event was filmed and the footage edited by SaSo Media, Cambridge: www.carlbergman...
I think the crowd seem essentially silent because they're not mic'd up. The audio seems to be the recording from the headset microphone directly.
Also, to be even fairer to Robin, The European Bioinformatics Institute isn't necessarily known as the home of comedy.
That's a tough crowd...
Nicu Drosu Maybe try watching one of his stand-up shows. This is more of an informal talk.
Robin is a good guy, all valid comments and funny. very tough crowd indeed
How many out there, would love to have lunch with Robin Ince?
Who's buying?
You of course ;-)
Cheap bastard!
Some guy
I'm not cheap, you are some guy for saying that.
Sorry -- come to think of it, I'm not that expensive myself.
Robin is fucking awesome here!
What's wrong with the crowd? Maybe they don't speak English?
@EMBL "...his lecture kept everyone laughing for close to an hour!"
Well, it's kept me laughing for close to an hour! However, the audience appear to be sedated.
was the camera man deaf?
15:06 Charles Darwin still going strong
Great talk. shitty camera work.
Hahahahah “science comedian”
Mildly abusing at best but not what I expected.
This is not funny. If I was Robin I would be embarrassed. The virtual absence of a laughter track is not a satisfactory answer to that.
To be fair I think it's meant to be more of a seminar speech than a comedy routine. This isn't the Apollo.
@@koleberdinoch926 To be fair, the video title bills him as a 'science comedian' and the description says 'his lecture kept everyone laughing for close to an hour.'
Hence my confusion.
@@zastorlexa9800 to be fair you're right, that description is utter tosh
