"I CANNOT CAMEMBERT IT ANYMORE!" Is possibly the greatest song lyric of all time.

I love that when he does this sone live now, that lyric is by far the most popular moment of the night. I saw him a few days ago and it must have taken 20 tries before the audience actually let him finish the line

Really thought the whole song was just gonna be him saying cheese and it wouldve been just as wonderful
It cracks me up how desperately he was trying to get the audience to spell cheese with him, and they just kind of stare at him blankly, slightly confused.

@@benrose5153 Well Tim is really good at working a crowd and is able to simulataneously act as if he is trying to get them to spell it with him while also discouraging that behavior in subtle ways. He's using that to really play up the fact that he's out of place with this fancy orchestra in this fancy theater and how funny it is that he's even there. So yes, that is the joke. I am just saying he executes it really well.

I feel like a kid again watching this awesome video.
The beginning is hilarious, he has an entire freaking orchestra behind him and he just keeps saying "cheese". Then the brilliant lyrics start, this may be his best song ever!

What I love about Tim Minchin is that not only is he an intelligent, articulate guy, and not only that he's funny and witty, but that he's clearly a fantastic musician as well, and you can see that clearly evident in all of his songs, which are all well arranged and written. It's incredible, really.
I love the way he enjoys playing and has so much fun while performing :) like 5:33
....”I wrote this amazing musical movement...words?...I need words to relate to my audience?...crap...oh don’t worry I’ll come up with something”. Love You Mr Minchin!
This song is such an emotional rollercoaster.
the way he sort of stumbles around the stage is just icing on this cheese cake
And now, let us have a moment of silence for all those who are lactose intolerant. v_v
This is basically 10,000 people or so listening to a an Australian singing about his love for cheese with orchestral aid.
I was at this show, I bloody loved it so much.
This is what I call magic..Cheese? No. Tim Minchin. He waltzes,plays all kinds of instruments, multilingual, a lyrical genius, Comedic astronaut, composer extraordinaire! If love wasn't just a chemical reaction in my brain; I would definitely say "I love him". But since it is, might I ask Tim..Can we just be friends?

I can't believe the lack of comments about this song helping with their battle against addiction. Replace cheese with you vice, and while not all parts fit, considering that would be impossible, it's a really accurate representation of how addicted people think about it. I love it, I hate it, it makes me feel great, and makes my life bad... I promise to stop after one last taste...
I camen-bare it anymore!!!....... CHEESE!!!! ... Love you Tim!!!
"I can't camembert it anymore" I laughed a little too hard at that XD
Just cant get enough..... of funky funky CHEESE !!! Absolutely f***ing brilliant ! Its an Homage to Fromage !!!!
4:40 always makes me smile. Dat korgy funk is awesome. and to give my comment validity: What does cheese say when it looks in the mirror?.... Halloumi
one of the best comedian/artists of our time. thanks tim.
How nice to see a left handed conductor directing the orchestra. As an amateur conductor myself who holds the baton in his left, its a comfort to see.
You can really feel the emotion through his lyrics. This guy thought long and hard about how it feels, and this resonates deeply with me. Thanks Tim. Cheese is truly... Cheese.
Is Tim Minchin like the greatest comedian ever? Because he seems like the greatest comedian ever.

Glenifir H I believe he is at Albert Hall! I expect this is where the royals would attend a show or Opera! Sitting way up in their private box/room with their Opera glasses in hand even though they probably have a video screen with them in the box now too! Anyone of his songs during this show are amazing! The "Awesome Version" of Dark Side came from this show as well! Epic piano!!! A must listen even though it's nearly a quarter of an hour-long. That's 15 minutes for those who only use a digital clock any more and forgot lol 😊
Tim: "Sometimes I feel compelled to remind my followers that this is the best / most important thing I have ever made. Even if you just ignore me & listen to the band & Heritage Orchestra & look at the lights in that building. Sigh."
I love him so much with all my little heart. Genious!
Song's been stuck in my head for a month now ...always come back for that one more little sliver
I think that before playing this song, Tim turned to the band and said "If I go insane for 5 or 6 minutes, would you guys be willing to play along?"
I hope someone has told him about Lactaid in the last 9 years. (Also, why has it been so long since anyone commented on this video?) EDIT: Oh, I guess the newest comments aren't always at the top.
Beautiful.
tim you are a ginger ninja keep rocking
