It's insane to think that every action and every motion he makes is deliberate and probably rehearsed to within an inch, and yet it seems so improvised. The coordination and control displayed is nothing short of astounding!
Props to the drummer, who had to catch all the bits! This type of comedy really relies on the drummer following the performer. If the drummer can't see, isn't watching or had limited rehearsal, certain bits don't come off (like the counting of the fingers). There's a reason why artists shell out on their personal accompanists. Just tightens up the performance. Thanks for posting!
Thank you for this very interesting observation! As far as I remember George Carl was originally a circus clown. That is, he had to be get used to perform with live orchestra
@@Naftalinoff correct. And working in the circus, he would've performed with the same drummer each show. Would have been hilarious! Very tight timing...
@@synthdude When I was in the circus, I was friends with the drummer. He was really on the ball, following the rimshots for three rings, minute by minute, for two hours, twice a day; 3 times on Saturday. He was amazing and really loved the high of sitting on his little stool, being so in-the-flow. Takes a certain type of person, and he was one of them.
Wonderful with the simplest of props. A fellow like this could make a living long before a thing we call “Vaudeville”. Makes me wonder how early in human evolution the first gag was performed. Earliest art form.
Non conoscevo questo comico o claun..ed è strano visto che li seguo molto evidentemente deve aver fatto lo stesso effetto che ha fatto a me dopo 2..3 volte averlo visto..una noia mortale per tutta la sua carriera..se ne avuta una degna di questo nome... sempre e solo le stesse cose sempre le stesse ripetitive mai una novità quando entrava in scena già sapevi esattamente al secondo cosa avrebbe fatto e il bello che un esercizio ripetuto migliaia di volte riusciva pure a sbagliarlo se fosse stato un grande artista avrebbe fatto qualche film e sarebbe andato oltre confine invece dove è nato e li ha fatto tutto
He was a circus clown. This is natural that he always repeated the same things permanently improving them getting regular feedback from live audience. This was the usual approach of clowns in traveling circuses. They skits were staged to watch them life in circuses and theaters, the art of circus clowning often gets lost on video
It makes me laugh and it is entertaining as well. Especially when he's getting all tangled up in his coat and suspenders and in other routines his microphone cable. He was genius.

Every time I see this guy he slays me. Never get tired of watching him. The KING of lazzis, in my opinion.
Pure Genius his routine was so funny you can't take your eyes off him

He worked for decades as circus clown. This gave him possibility to polish his routine day after day on life audience following their reaction.
уникальный талант!! смотрю в 23-м году,смеюсь от души!!)
Maravilhoso!

The drummer that was working with him was working just as hard.
Loved this guy's act. Silent clowning at its finest
You love really easy
Absolutely brilliant!
Virtuose ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
figata assurda! che genio!
So brilliant!
GRANDE!!!!!!
My first view ,bravo .I applauded too
Physical comedy genius!
great.....wowwww
MASTERFUL!!!
Funny stuff! I wonder how long it took him to perfect this shtick.
His whole life working in the circus! I don't remember how old is he in this video, around 50?
Also, erstklassig. Alte Schule holt...👍👌👏
Very very difficult to do this , he looks so relaxed
We couldn't do that if we tried. It's a skill both mentally & physically demanding
Fantastic actor and clown comediennes
Brilliant!
FANTASTICO !

Didn't hr also do a sketch playing a harmonica that dissolved into spoons?
Yes, he did
@@Naftalinoff Thanks. I remember him from my childhood, but I wasn't sure if it was the same guy.
Grandioso❤❤❤
Настоящий Артист!!!
Everyone should see this at least once
بلىر ةةوك
Genial!!
I love this guy!
Congratulations on being in love with another man
Over 6 minutes of great comic masterpiece routine. Curious how old he was. Thank you.
There is a wikipedia article about him. George Carl was born in 1916, so in this video he is 53.
One of the world's greatest clowns,he appeared all over the world.
Sensacional!!👏👏👏
Geniale..!
Отлично!
So Great!!!!
Excelente
Master
his deadpan is quite similar to that of buster keaton
No, I think Carl shows more emotions
@@Naftalinoff he certainly does
Гениально!
Особенно с пиджаком и руками 3:12

Aussi Classe que le grand Charlie!👌🤗☮️

I have no ideas
It was his daughter.
Thanks@@john-carl

In France, they still think clowns are funny. I don't.
Seems like it was funny back then. To me is simply boring.
People do not understand physical comedy anymore :(
@@Naftalinoff consciousness is higher now and people need something more intelligent.
@@alienbird2271 I'm 46 years old, and a veteran of the internet and social media... and that might be the dumbest thing I've ever seen typed.
It is somewhat entertaining, but not even remotely funny.
You have no appreciation of talent and skill quite obviously
It makes me laugh and it is entertaining as well. Especially when he's getting all tangled up in his coat and suspenders and in other routines his microphone cable. He was genius.
@@RS-os7wm besides physical skills I don't see any talent here and its not even funny. Whatever was good back then doesn't have to be good these days.

"Primitive" stands for basic as well as simple and reliable
@@Naftalinoff ok
