Of course what makes you laugh is subjective, but Tim Vine has to be one of the best comedians going. For every joke that the average stand up tells, Tim will tell about 20 (that goes for most one liner comics too) and every one is fantastically cleverly written and performed with care and love and enthusiasm and good timing. Pulling off one liners is possibly the hardest thing to do in comedy and Tim does it to perfection near enough every time. And they are consistently funny. He never relies on swear words as so many comics do he never feigns over exasperation as so many others do. Every joke has to be cleverly written and intentionally worded and well delivered and Tim nails them every single time. True genius.
It is so very unusual and brilliant to do four minuets of one liner type stand up that you could even take your kids too. This is way harder than it looks for sure, well done Tim.
The most underrated comic ever. This guy is a genius, never a dull moment, and always leaves everyone feeling better! I love his artistic surreal stuff (his youtube videos on the TVTV channel, wow!), but his stand up bits - beyond brilliant. Sore Naples... come on...
Tim is our best family comedian by miles, but always appears to be under-rated because his act is one liners. Very funny man, if he doesn't make you laugh you must surely have no sense of humour IMHO. Multi-storey car park crime, wrong on so many levels...classic!
I have a sense of humour.Tim Vine is even less funny than being slowly drilled through the eyeball and of the back of the head with a very rusty drill bit! If you want really funny one-liners comedians watch Milton Jones and Stewart Francis! They are the complete opposite to Tim Vine!
Love Tim Vine. You just knowvhes got a book of English idioms and phrases and he just goes through asking himself " how csn i squeeze a joke out of that?". Sometimes i suspect the squeezing of jokes involved a Black and Decker Workmate and a large vice, but its all to the good.

Coco Salt Way ahead of his time? Err no...Tim Vine is very good but you can see that he has been very heavily influenced by the late great Tommy Cooper who was doing this act 40+ years ago..
@Zaco Baco...I had no idea who Iglesias was until you mentioned him. To say he is in the same league as Tim is completely fanciful. Iglesias is just one of those comedians who loves the sound of his own voice and thinks he is hilarious when in fact he is about as funny as a party political broadcast. Broaden your mind.
Right…you start watching his act and think this is crap. For some reason you continue to watch, you last the whole video. Then you google his other videos 'cos they really are funny. Wish he was in the Road movies with Bob Hope instead of Bing.
Don't get me wrong, Tim Vine, to me, was a funny man when he just did 5 mins or so on the BBC programme "Live at the Apollo". He just hits everyone with one-liners and puns and doesn't bother with all that stupid (childish) songs. And that's how I like Tim Vines humour: without the rubbish. Just "get on", "blast the audience" with that rapid fire wit, and "then" exit stage left. I'd never pay to see him perform live, as I honestly think I'd walk out 10 mins in as soon as he started that bouncing around and "singing". It doesn't suit his act. He's known for puns etc, but to just break it all with childrens party singing, clown dancing, and songs that don't make sense interupts the flow and lets down the rest of his performance. Sometimes, the internet is the best place to see his comedy, as you can select all the good bits, skip the rubbish, and save about 30 quid on the price of a ticket. I also liked Milton Jones on his short bursts on "Mock The Week" and also at the Apollo. On the strength of those stand up bits, I went and bought his DVD "The Lion Whisperer". And my gawd, how disappointing that was. A complete let down, and 15 mins in, I was still sat with my arms folded, not uttering a single laugh. It wasn't funny, and his timing was well off. So again, like Tim Vine, I think some comedians are best just kept to short sets of 10 mins maximum.
The songs and visual gags break up the performance and give the audience a rest. Tim says that it's really tiring for an audience to hear joke after joke continuosly for over an hour.

His expressions always looks like he can't believe that joke worked.... Tim Vine is brilliant
Love it when he says “yeah for a livin”...
that's a tim vine classic!
It is so very unusual and brilliant to do four minuets of one liner type stand up that you could even take your kids too. This is way harder than it looks for sure, well done Tim.
He writes the best jokes. The ones that make you think "why the hell didn't I think of that?"
saw him couple of yrs ago over an hour and not one swear word and he was hilarious
A comedian who shows you can be clean and funny. Brilliant
I love a minuet.
hes the king of amazing bad jokes. he just owns it
We need more comedians like this who can craft a joke.

Sore Naples... come on...
I could easily have sat through an extra half hour of that 😅🤣😂
My aching sides might not cope!!!
"Sorry? Yeah, for a living". LMFAO!!!
Aahaha!
I didn't get this
Husnain Afsar as in he acts stupid for a living
Husnain Afsar He's making a joke saying he's not a great comedian
It's as if someone at the front said "are you supposed to be a comedian"
I can listen to Tim Vine all day. Even the stupid jokes are funny, but it’s the way he tells them.
Tim Vine is such a dad character. 😂 Love that he makes a living off of it.
"I'll skip that" LMAO!
Tim Vine is hilarious, the one liners are so clever...He's not too bad in his sitcoms either...
The waiting song KILLS me.. don’t know why it’s so brilliant but it is.
waiting... can sometimes be... lots of fuun..................................................
Absolutely love Tim Vine but that... For a living bit gets me every time
Expensive sweets. Mars, Galaxy, Milky Way. They're astronomical.
that joke is sweet!
No holes in that

mrguillemot he’s great. I love him and Milton Jones too. Clean family friendly.
Tim Vine has his own uniqueness: "HIT THE MUSIC PLEASE!"
@@bradleybaum9000
It would appear you already have had the back of your head drilled into - and your sense of humour removed.
The finest family stand-up, EVER!!
So I'm finally going to read my new clock manual today, it's about time.
He has such comical expressions too which works so well with his act . missed him alot when he left not going out 😢
Love you...never crude our Tim ... xxxx
Amazing, I haven’t not laughed so much in ages
I read a book once on anti-gravity, I couldn't put it down!
the most unique talent
I once attacked a circus performer. I went straight for the juggler.
So This farmer came up to me and said I've got 68 sheep can you round them up for me?
I said sure "70"Hahahahahaha
Spent half my life in elevators, had it's ups and downs
Unfortunately there has been no heated discussion of your comment, which means I don't get to say "that escalated rapidly".
Although the comment did lift our spirits
made me laugh on so many levels
bahaha
David Graham oh wait it’s a torch
I think Tim Vine would be a fun Doctor Who.
That ain't going to happen straight,white male.
@@laurenceseale Yep. I reckon you're right.
Gruntfuttock ok snowflake. They’ve only had one doctor who’s not male, and none who aren’t white
@@MattCrawley_Music have you not seen the new season?
I hate that doctor
Hasn't even got a name...

My God those puns ❤️❤️❤️
He arrived before his herbs did, he was ahead of his thyme.
Brilliant as always 😂
“What concerns me is that one day I’ll wind up an old man and he’ll attack me “😂
His joke selling is top notch

I once modelled for a Grizzlie photographer, i had to bear all (i just made that up)
He was mugged by a bike and got tangled up. The police say he was caught in vicious cycle.
It was a chain reaction.
Love it
Brilliant!!
A unique comedian, way ahead of his time
Coco Salt Way ahead of his time?
Err no...Tim Vine is very good but you can see that he has been very heavily influenced by the late great Tommy Cooper who was doing this act 40+ years ago..
He's actually very old fashioned. In a good way
CANT STOP LAUGHING XDXDXDXDXDXD
Yes for a living 😂😂😂
he's definatley the next Tommy Cooper!
Bloody hell, Alan.
Best comment by far!
I once got my wife a prosthetic leg for Christmas as a stocking stuffer
I told a girl she was tastier than a bottle of ketchup. She said ‘I don’t take condiments lightly’
What salt of joke is that ?
Tim is a genius, check out his channel. Recreating Columbo is great
Masterclass 😆😄😃🤣😂
He was on countdown today.
Half his puns were lost with the audience.
Give em a break they are the older generation
Where's me washboard....
Probably OAP Brexit voters... less than a brain cell between them...
I heard this guy was great. I think he said it himself about himself.
I guess I heard it on the Great Vine.
He is a modern Tommy Cooper brill !
"Nah, I'll skip that!", not completely crap.
Tim Vine = Vin Time
Exit signs, they're on the way out, aren't they?
One of my favourites
love it when the camera cuts to the crowd and we can spot those with no sense of humour
It's so bad it's funny
Genius

Is it a boxing glove or is it a shoe?

The answer is it's a torch.
Has anyone heard that new album featuring a vomiting cow? It's called "now that's what I call moo Sick!"
Ugh
Brilliant
It's hard to believe this is the guy who had hair and presented Whittle
I'm sure plenty of people have already pointed this out, but has he got notes written on his left hand? 3:26
I was grumpy about the largest satellite we can see, so I stopped Mooning.
James Spader (aka spider) looks like Tim Vine.
It’s a torch.
No a banana.
No it’s a tornanna

Tommy Cooper would be proud..
I honestly can't see the connection. TC rarely made me laugh but Tim does every time, all the time ..:)

So again, like Tim Vine, I think some comedians are best just kept to short sets of 10 mins maximum.
I feel the same way about You Tube comments. That was way too long. I gave up half way through
The songs and visual gags break up the performance and give the audience a rest.
Tim says that it's really tiring for an audience to hear joke after joke continuosly for over an hour.
Modern Day Tommy Cooper....
very funny, but I hate the songs
