I frocking love this guy because for some godforsaken reason he is pretty much the only "clean" and not all that cynical comedian I am able to laugh with.
Remember buying my first pair of glasses at Christmas ‘87. When I put them on for the first time, I saw a Christmas tree on the other side of the street and to this day, remember how sharp all the difference coloured lights were on it. Just a memory.
I got my first glasses at 4... I don’t remember it at all- probably didn’t notice much since my only problem then was a lazy eye; now it’s double vision and a lazy eye, WHOO BRAIN SURGERY!
Hey I also got my first pair in 1987 and stood staring at a tree outside my window amazed that you were supposed to be able to see the leaves on it not just a big green blurb like a children’s picture of a tree
I didn't realize I needed glasses my whole childhood and was convinced trees simply had shadowy silhouettes, not perfectly visible leaves and branches easily distinguishable from one another. Getting glasses and going on a roadtrip was extraordinary
I do that guessing thing absolutely. And he’s quite right, you’re not going to ‘fail’ an important test and lose out if you don’t get the letters correct! I think I should stop doing it. 😃
Went to get my eyes tested n the eye lady said can you read the letters on the wall n I said there's no letters on the wall. I was looking at the wrong wall.
I went to the optometrist once. They asked me to read the letters on the chart. I said "I don't see any letters." They were just smudges to me. Yes, I'm pretty darn blind.
Don't understand people that out of vanity won't wear glasses. The first time i got mine and put them on outside the shop i entered a whole new world. Trees at a distance weren't just green blurs, i could see each leaf ! And from my house i saw the basketball/skateboard park and before glasses i just looked down there and identified my friends by the way they walked and moved, and with glasses i actually saw them...i just grew up and thought everyone sees like this, but it's so much more fun if you actually have proper eyesight :p
But being short-sighted is like seing the world like in movies ! The background is blury, the lights are softer. The only thing better than that is being short-sighted WITH warm coloured sunglasses, then you're in a freaking Wes Anderson Movie lol
I'm blind without glasses since I had cataract surgery and contacts won't work unfortunately. My hubby is infuriating! He's gotten to the point where he needs glasses and was prescribed them, problem is that he refuses to wear them until he needs to read then he keeps losing them. If he'd just leave them on his face he wouldn't have this problem. He's 52 years old and it isn't even about vanity he just doesn't want to have to wear them.
I remember in 6th grade when I first figured out that I needed glasses. I borrowed reading glasses from my aunt for a role in a play and tried it out an hour before. I was in class at that moment and I remember being so astonished seeing each letter on the board with proper spaces and clarity. I could see leaves on trees and distinct features of people around me. Then it took me 6 months to tell my mother because I was afraid she'd get mad because there was something wrong with my eyes😂
I was eight when I got glasses for the first time, it was amazing. That was when I started the over the glasses reading because I can't read very well with them on. It came in handy when I started babysitting to perfect the, "don't look at me that way," look. My niece said the same thing when she got her glasses. She had needed them for at least three years and she was amazed at how everything looked. She just got braces and she isn't as impressed lol.
If you're able to watch this while on a treadmill then may I suggest you turn up the speed a bit? You'll still not be able to breathe, but this time it'll be better for your health :)
I suppose there's some merit to figuring out which size letters you can kinda see but not clearly, and which you just can't identify at all. I often found myself saying stuff like "I can't tell if it's a C or a G" or "that one might be a T but it could be a Y" during my eye tests.
I wonder how long he practiced the glasses move. He must've developed brilliant eyebrow muscles 😅😂 Edit: oh gosh, thanks for the likes! Edit 2: there's even more 😂
In hindsight, after choking several times and spewing water from my nostrils (an unfortunate side effect of choking on water), I don’t think watching Michael McIntyre videos while eating my lunch was one of my brightest ideas.
I've been there my friend. We all make poor life choices at least once and then we learn to protect ourselves 😂 tea out the nose and down your lungs is most unpleasant
I cannot wait for the opportunity to see you in South Africa. Absolutely lift my spirits in a fit of laughter every time I watch your videos. It takes a great deal to make me laugh & you succeed without fail. You’re my ultimate “happy pill”👌
My favorite is my optometrist testing my far sight when I’ve been quite near sighted for over 10 years. I have no hope of reading letters far away so they get the biggest kick when I have to tell them the letter I can read. “E.” “That’s all you can read?” “That’s all I’ve been able to read since I was 9 years old, keep up, Lizzy.”
Me: can't read the 5th row anymore. Eye guy: what is your best guess? Me: E D F C G P EG: that is correct. While I mumble: I remember that from my left eye.
I love him. He's funny & cute cute cute. I love how he speaks. Hello from NYC 🇺🇸 USA. Bless you and your family. I'm hoping to see your show at the Radio City Music Hall in New York City on Jan 2020.
"Everyone can see the big letter" LMAO. Without my glasses the big letter looks like a slight discoloration on the wall. If you wear glasses with a high prescription you'll know what I mean.
I'm lucky and I go to the same eye doctor as my mother, and she found him long before I was born and he is so nice and trustworthy, I've never even seen him in a bad mood, let alone yell at someone. One of the other reasons I liked going to him as a kid, is because he had an awesome little play house that was more like a tree house IN his office. I was very bummed when I could no longer fit into it, and even more so when they got rid of it. Some good memories of that. Yet as an adult who has to make my own appointments, I try to go as long as I can between eye appointments. (Last 2 times were 4 years apart each.)
@@genli5603 I had that happen many times, it's not just the pressure test, its the damn eye drops as well. I hate it when I have to mess with my eyes. It's a very sensitive area, and I just absolutely hate anyone but myself with touching them, it's a reason I do not wear contacts, I literally cannot touch my eyeball, because it's an instinctual reaction. So, for like the longest time, I would annoy the many eye doctors because it was a bitch to put eye drops and eye pressure tests, I would have a literal breakdown. Anyway, me and my mom finally found a really good eye doctor, and she was very patient with me, I ended up finding a good way to do eyedrops that didn't have her touching my eye, or me watching the damn thing drop liquid, it's actually a good system I got for that, I vow to use it every time I need to put drops, and I learned how to cope with the pressure test, I do flinch, and back away, but I am able to deal with it now to the point that I don't outright refuse it. It's an instinctual reaction, I've learned to cope and joke about it, but I've had doctors yell at me before for things like that, depending on how bad they lose their temper depends on whether I go back or not, sometimes they deal with stupid people and they snap, their human, is it a good way to deal with patients hell no, but I've dealt with the medical industry long enough to know that people are people no matter the field.
Thanks Molly and Chester, something to think about and look forward to post pandemic, I simply love Michael, he is just so talented, posh and funny, a class act!
My dad cheAted the system for years because he thought he would look stupid in glasses. He memorized his the letter chart and could go through it perfectly each time. It wasn’t until recently when the veins started popping up around his eyes and he started getting bad headaches that he conceded and finally got glasses
Okay, Michael, I hope you read this. When you got to eye test, I could not control myself and my slobber choked me up, I had to pause the video. Thanks for the deep belly laugh. Very well done.
"The big one is just there to start you off" lol All I see of the bloody top letter without my glasses is a blur. My doctor actually asked me how the frick I had managed to drive without them and not crash.
@@user-ez4ny5kd7x I'm in America and last few times i have gone they had a projection of the letters. I remember the biggest letter they put up for me was just a K. And all I said was, what letter?...(they couldn't get it any bigger either.)
The worst thing about wearing glasses is when you are in school and some random person in your year who you barely even know asks, "can I try on your glasses?". And I'm just like,. "no". Why on earth do people ask that. It's really really irritating. And then they start begging and I'm thinking, "why would you possibly want to try my glasses on. Why the _______?
@@rheam9391 the absolute worse, I don’t mind sharing my glasses for a bit as mine is really strong ( +6 in both atm but used to be +7.5 and 7 ) but absolutely unnecessary indeed it seems like they are suddenly “experts” 🙄
This reminds me of when my family comes home looks directly at me and says "are you home?" My normal response is something like " no I'm at the store can I get you anything? "
I have a "lazy" left eye. My mother was offered surgery for it, in the mid 1960s, she turned it down (thanks mother /s). I'm legally (half) blind (20% sight) in it now in my 50s. I tell the optician, "no idea". I often get asked, "well ... guess?" As you might surmise, I'm not allowed to drive anymore.
At my last appointment, they were like "okay now without your glass try the lowest row you can read" and I not being able to read the top row I just laughed
2:39 thank you for recognising my talent. I always asked my mom if i guessed correctly and she always said "there are no wrong answers here" Yes, there literally are.
Cannot even tell you how accurate the last part is!! This was me last Friday at the opticians squinting and trying to guess the letters 😂😂😂😂😂 my eyesight has gone from -4.50 to -5.00 and my astigmatism has gone from 1.75-2.25 😭😭 yay I got pointy eyes as well as being short sighted
Reminds me of my Dad's visit to see a eye consultant a few years ago. He's been registered blind for over 40 years but hadn't had seen a consultant for ages. The consultant says "I'll do an eye test first, can you tell me the first letter on the board?". My dad searches around the room & asks "where's the board?". It turns out he hadn't read the patient notes so had no idea my dad only had 1% vision!
When I first got my glasses me and my mom were driving back and I was looking at everything saying it looks so HD. Apparently thats what glasses are for lmao
I was cross eyed for a while when I was a kid. My parents took me to see the optometrist and he got frustrated because I couldn't read the letters. My parents said, "she is two years old; what were you expecting?" Fortunately, my eyes straightened without his help.
When I go in for my yearly glaucoma test, they make me wear my glasses when it's time to read off the rows of diminishing letters. Because I'm so near sighted I can't see the top row.
Same when they ask me to look at the chart without my glasses i tell them ill save you the trouble i cant even tell the first letter up top is even there without them because its blurred way too much
Once my mom got out all of our old VHS tapes because she still had her VCR, and we started watching a video of my son’s birthday party of when he turned 11. Then the person taking the video panned over to me. OMG!!!.....my glasses were SO BIG they hit my cheek. Everyone started laughing. Someone said “Where’s Waldo!!! Ask Shanan, she could have found them with those glasses “. I couldn’t believe how big they were, but they were popular back then.
This man's talent to make the most mundane things hillarious is unparalleled.

I believe it's *"optometrist"* not optician 🙂
Yeolie Park I’m pretty sure it can be both, but who knows
Actually, mine said, after I told her that I couldn't see the letters anymore, "Try again, come on, you can do this!"
Depends on the state in the USA but as an optician with someone with bi focals if they are one or two off I’ll get them to give it another shot

Cannot even tell you how accurate the last part is!! This was me last Friday at the opticians squinting and trying to guess the letters 😂😂😂😂😂 my eyesight has gone from -4.50 to -5.00 and my astigmatism has gone from 1.75-2.25 😭😭 yay I got pointy eyes as well as being short sighted
Reminds me of my Dad's visit to see a eye consultant a few years ago. He's been registered blind for over 40 years but hadn't had seen a consultant for ages. The consultant says "I'll do an eye test first, can you tell me the first letter on the board?". My dad searches around the room & asks "where's the board?". It turns out he hadn't read the patient notes so had no idea my dad only had 1% vision!
I was drinking water...
You can guess the rest
yes😂👍
Rookie error
Oh Hades
Michael...you make me laugh out loud! 😄
"Everyone can see the big E!"
Bro even with glasses i have trouble seeing the first letter sometimes 😂
Every time I have an eye exam for work they always ask me which line is blurrier than all the others. And I'm like... They're all the same?
Thanks for the laughs.
Bravo? Michael
This is the only stand up comic thats made me audibly laugh. Impressed
You know your a good comedian when you can make glasses funny
I'm seriously dying of laugher 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He's the Best..
As a person who is getting glasses in just about 1 and a half weeks, this significantly lowered my anxiety.
When I first got my glasses me and my mom were driving back and I was looking at everything saying it looks so HD. Apparently thats what glasses are for lmao
This is the first thing I said after switching from glasses to contact lenses! Like updating from 480p to HD 😂
I love you Michael!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I remember when I could see enough letters to guess! Now I just say "I know there's an E on top, but I can't actually see it." It's boring. 😂
I was cross eyed for a while when I was a kid. My parents took me to see the optometrist and he got frustrated because I couldn't read the letters. My parents said, "she is two years old; what were you expecting?" Fortunately, my eyes straightened without his help.
that optometrist sounds like a jacka$$😒
It's so funny when comedy is relatable and true, a wonderful comidian ....
The first time I put on my glasses, the world somehow became "clear". Literally clear!

Yo that was so smooth 😂
The first one reading glasses motion types of person, is my best friend! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ love this guy
When I go in for my yearly glaucoma test, they make me wear my glasses when it's time to read off the rows of diminishing letters. Because I'm so near sighted I can't see the top row.
Same when they ask me to look at the chart without my glasses i tell them ill save you the trouble i cant even tell the first letter up top is even there without them because its blurred way too much
You are the best
Hello Emma how are you doing today merry Christmas
One of my favorite comedians.
Absolute genius 😂😂😂
It's absolutely fabulous that the camera man actively focused on people with glasses.
Brilliant ....really the Einstein of comedy .
Love these videos by topics
My first pair of glasses and I went home and into the front room and told my Mum there were cobwebs on the ceiling! Lol.
Once my mom got out all of our old VHS tapes because she still had her VCR, and we started watching a video of my son’s birthday party of when he turned 11. Then the person taking the video panned over to me. OMG!!!.....my glasses were SO BIG they hit my cheek. Everyone started laughing. Someone said “Where’s Waldo!!! Ask Shanan, she could have found them with those glasses “. I couldn’t believe how big they were, but they were popular back then.
Michael is a comedy genius, just a complete natural talent at making you laugh, using normal everyday issues.
The way he called me out for the "i'm gonna try and guess the letters from now on" part ahah
Just saw my optometrist yesterday. Funny!!
I literally did the same thing on the same day as you! Turns out that I need glasses too. They're arriving at the weekend
