- Second episode of the improv show hosted by Paul Merton. The contestants are Clive Anderson, Sally Lindsay, Hamish Blake, and Michael McIntyre. 2/5
Seeing Clive in casual clothing is kind of odd. (Not as odd as the costume they made him wear later in the episode, though.) - Komedie
"My racquet's in there" classic xD
"How are ya muscles?" Fucking dead.
Smelliest Müt lol
Yeah💯😂😂😂😂,he's gold💯😂😂😂
Fuckin got me 😂😂
Hamish is soooo awesome.
"why should we let you into heaven?"
"My racket's in there!"
He's the funniest guy =D
"My racquets in there.."
That was pure genius.
The UK scenarios are so weird. The only reason that was watchable was because of Hamish!
I LOVE how he manages to guess the kidney thing before they even say it!
True fact: In Australia, this show was a comedy.
Was it not in the UK?
Australia's was comedy throughout. UK's was not particularly that: more of an improv exercise, besides Hamish's contributions
@@stephaniewaters1777 ah I see. I’ve only seen the Australian one, I thought it was the same over there. The UK usually does humour really well, I thought this show would be similar.
I hate the UK version. They never give the actor (being Hamish Blake) any usable material. The Australian version is much smoother and funnier
Normally English comedy is the best but the Aussies do a much better job. Hamish just couldn't shine!
Yes I agree
I guess Working Dog productions weren't producing the UK version then.....everything they do is gold!
Aussie humour, the best kind.
Hamish is the master of Thank God you're here
What i find amusing about this show is that not only must the contestant know how to improvise, the actors in the scene also must both know how to improvise and try not to laugh during the whole procedure.
They try setting him up too hard instead of his creativity flowing naturally.
1:44 "Back to Australia" should have been the answer
+Dr McFlurry It's clear they were setting him up.
Except we're the complete opposite of crowded.
@@gameguru1234 You've obviously never been to sydney
gloop32 yeah I was thinking Bondi beach in the summer
One frustration I have with watching TGYH is that the way they have the show structured, it violates one of the cardinal rules of making good improv: Never try to "deny" the things your fellow performers inserted into the scene with their words. Always accept what the other actor said and build on top of it, or if you have to deny it, deny it in a way that actually inserts a funny twist on it, but never just say "no you're wrong, it's really like this instead". But because all the performers except the 'victim' have scripted events they have to hit during the scene, they keep telling the performer that they're wrong if something is invented that will get in the way of the scripted events to come. One example of this is the question with a hardcoded answer. They ask the performer a question like "why did you miss work yesterday?", and whatever the performer comes up with is utterly irrelevant to the scene because they then say, "no that's not true, it's actually that you were in jail...."
That's because this is a game show, not real improv. The whole point of this show is to let the guest score with jokes and funny remarks, not create an interesting or well developed scene. That's just what the show is. Not saying you're wrong or I disagree with you, I would love to see a show that does improv proper.
It's not a game show. The "contestants" are paid professional celebrities and the "winner" is picked arbitrarily, like in Whose Line is it Anyway. And I agree that the point of the show is to be funny but it's funnier when you have to build on what the other performer said rather than deny it and ignore it.
Yeah but you have to remember that this is for TV. If they didn't have that structure as security you really don't know where the scenes would end up. I understand that that is the whole point of improv, but in a TV setting it's unpredictable and could make for some awkward scenes.
You also have to remember that not everyone they bring on the show is necessarily good at improv. I didnt watch the english version but in the Australian one lots of the people the brought in were celebrities or talkshow hosts or actors, not people who necessarily specialiase in improv.
popnfreshz It's not the skill of the 'guest' at doing improv that matters for what I'm talking about, though. It's the skill of the regular repeat cast members, who presumably *are* improv performers. I'm not referring to the guest's inability to come up with an answer. I'm referring to the regular cast's apparent inability to *accept* the guest's answer and do something on top of it. It's the regulars' constant denying of the guest performer's clever ideas that gets a bit frustrating.
"Why should we let YOU into Heaven?"
*_pause_*
"aw my racquet's in there" *_throws racquet_*
Killed me. Killed me dead.
TheNexan lol
That got me too💯😂😂😂
Hamish is a genius!
Australia represent for sure!!!
I love when Hamish threw the racket behind the gate! That was hilarious! :)
Yeah, the only time I've ever laughed watching the UK version is when an Aussie is up.
Classic Aussie comedian. We are like that
Hamish is so creative and witty 🤣🤣 god I miss the Aussie shows
wow the UK version is just asking a bunch of questions... not a smooth improve skit. such a shame
That’s… literally the Australian original version. That’s how it works. Everything is scripted except the guest.
Hell, the scene Clive walked into in the previous segment before this *was exactly the same as done on the Aus show* . Same script of the actors, just the guest improvising.
Thats literally the show
The audacity of Hamish to call St Peter himself out of all people, muscles has me rolling 😂😂😂
5:40 "I'm really glad this is just in England" (Hamish Blake, 2008)
Funniest bit when he threw his racket over :P Such quick thinking, he's wicked.
Agreed, and he wasn't able to bounce of the actors at much.
Their improv was pretty stiff, poor timing, leaving him with the awkward silence here and there.
Makes it hard for the audience.
The funniest video ever!! This is why I love Hamish!!!!
Hamish is so funny and he's aussie!
hahaha he killed it
def one of my fav comedians
What a STAR!
hey muscles HAHAHAHA
omg i knew hamish was going to pick the angel!!!
wow hamish seemed really uncomfortable. the scenario wasn't very encouraging of the actor though. they should take a page out of the australian version.
Lovely impro.... including tossing the racket in and saying I'm just going in to get it.
My racquet is in there!
Hatza04 lol
"Why should we let you into heaven?!" *throws the racket over the fence* "Qh, well, my rackets in there" PURE GENIUS!!!!! HAHAHAHAHHAA!
I just hate how TGYH is not on anymore. Some of the best laughs I ever had, especially Josh Lawson as an African explorer
its being rebooted in australia
Typical Australians, with their amazing accuracy and coordination.
i love hamish so much
hamish&andy best radio show ever
This is heaven😇
Hamish rips up at the end in the interview skit compared to the others. Aus represent ^_^
5:00 omd love this sooooooooooooooooo much!!!
hamish is a genius. .love him
"it wasn't that immaculate" hahahaha!
lol hamish is soo good at improv! he did very well despite being a bit nervous. does anyone have the link for hamish's first appearance on tgyh uk?
Australians are so much funnier.
i love how you say 'import' like they're objects lol
hamish is awesome
Gotta love Hamish!
Yay! Double time!
I wish they'd kinda shut up and let him talk.. I know they have a time restraint but seriously they cut him off a bunch of times!
I love Hamish! :D
hahaha love it!
Aaah, that makes sense
OH REALLY!!
that's gr8 to know YAY! lol
P.S. proud to be an aussie : D
it may only be in britain but we heard you loud and clear here in aus hamish
this hamish guy is hilarious
iv never heard of him before?
I know someone called Andrea Booth 😂😂
he means this version is only airing in England...
if you use google you'll find that the australian version is the original
I appreciate the fact it's an Aussie show... I don't think my point was clear enough perhaps. I don't doubt the original show is Australian, I was commenting solely on Hamish's ironic comment. I find it funny that here in Australia I'm hearing Hamish be glad that people in Australia won't hear him...
haha yeah this is awesome... mind you, he does seem made for this show haha
Aahh Hamish, freakin hilarious
God the uk version sucks!
oooooo you miss out...... hahahaha. Gravey baby Gravey
My racket is in there lol
5:47 if you would like to skip the context.
Yeah, thats the one...
Wonder if Hamish Blake is a Homely Bloke
Haha it's not showed only in England! :P
Hamish is wonderful, Merton is wonderful. How did this show not quite make it in UK?
no!!!! im too far away :(
What about the english versin with the car thing, with the guy whos name i forgot!!? it was so the best someone should post that!
So much for only in England.
Why is this so darn laggy!?!?!
I'd like to wait until this show gets its own feet, then they'll get a bigger budget as they get more popular and stuff.
As long as Britain sticks to it.
It's Hamish all the way, isn't it!? :)
It’s literally just the actor’s asking questions. Aussie version is way better
oh are you serious that happens to aus as well!
omg i can't beleive they tried to make kath and kim...how did they do it coz kath and kim r aussie...then was there's american style or what?
well you can't break them all...
The only funny one here is Hamish haha
It was near the top
ok thanx i know now..someone already told me!
but thanx anyway :D
I am Australian and I agree with skintightpanda lol
What happened to Yes And lmao
Hamish was on fire. Very very funny.
