647 dislikes? Wow, that's a LOT of people who've had their senses of humour surgically removed. Victor Borge was a genius.

Viktor: "Hello."

When he said "I don't know anything all the way through" I felt that.

The greatest comedic musician of all time. Playing the William tell overture backwards was priceless.

For one person to have such a command of language and music is utterly remarkable. When you realize he's not a native to an English speaking nation, it's even more amazing.

This dude would’ve absolutely been a star in today’s era

Victor Borge : "Yes" (without context)

He was a master musician who never took himself seriously. His talent will be missed.

Notice when he speaks to the audience, he stands up. Thats a nice touch and shows a gentleman.

If you'd ask me to define what "chaotic neutral" means, I'd show you this

First time watching Victor Borge. I've got some googleing to do.

"kind of a short day wasn't it?"

He had an angle that nobody else had. He could take the stuffing out of stuffy music, and always still play beautifully. He was an ambassador for classical music, and like that music he is timeless.

I think I read somewhere there was one song, Debussy's Claire De Lune, that he refused to use for comedy. He said the song was too beautiful to disparage in any way. There are videos on YT of him playing that song and it's not hard to connect with his depth of feeling as he plays every note. And no jokes to be found. It's very beautifully done. I encourage you to find it.

The Man is insane. 😳

Funnily enough I discovered this guy because of an offhand joke i made to my piano teacher that the music he handed me upside down fooled me for a moment, because it still looked like right side up music. Then we spent 10 minutes on a Voctor Borge tangent.

I miss Victor Borge. Very funny, tasteful and a little bit mischievous.
