What was with the swearing? For me fuck is word to be used in a 'correct manner' or as an extreme swear word. It certainly could be slipped into a comediec performance for dramatic effect. But in Tim Michin's performance, the word was used so often, I started to feel annoyed and lost concentration.
Fuck is an important and useful word in our language but Mr Michin totally devalued the word in his performance.
I feel so old and out of touch.

I didn't watch it, but I know what you mean. I saw some comedians at Comedy Bites that I thought overused the swears. It's just not ncecessary and to be honest, I think it's lazy. Make up some words folks.
ReplyDeleteOf course you being a non swearing type Fen, you would say that :-P
ReplyDeleteMaybe he's just 'fucked up' :P
ReplyDeleteNah Jayne, he is a fuckin' smart guy.
ReplyDeleteI love Tim Minchin but I understand what you mean about the swearing. I don't mind the 'f' word so much but I really don't like hearing the 'c' word all the time. Yep, we're gettin' old! V.
ReplyDeleteV, does Michin use the c word. I can't say that I recall him using it? C seems to be the last taboo.
ReplyDeleteHe does use it occasionally but I was actually referring to entertainers in general. One hears the 'c' word quite often these days. V.
