Actually this is genuine family entertainment. This is not dark/obscene humor, this is genuine family humor! That's what Got Talent is supposed is looking for! Aren't there kids and families primarily!? This is awesome, I would take my kids to a restaurant or theater if there was an act like this! This is kind of Mr. Bean comedy style. Speechless comedy, just movements and he can achieve a lot of things. I hope to see a lot of him soon (:
***** Fair enough, but think of all of the comedians out there. They might do one or two jokes over, but the rest of their act is fresh. He is brilliant, but he really needs to think of something new before people get bored. I know he's on AGT - what if he wins? Will he have anything new to show, or will he repeat what he's done dozens of times before?
he is genius. i find him funny every single time it means a lot, i find him funny even after watching the same act over and over again. he is truly entertaining. every people from every country can understand this.
I loved this! xD this guy is amazing! Must admit this form of comedy you love it or hate it, But this is Reall comedy! I love the expression he got with his eyes :)
Well before he auditioned for AGT he performed on the streets and actually went to school for being a clown as crazy as that sounds. So he did have a life of clowning around and comedy before AGT, he is almost 40 so
the moment he started the airplane act, I paused the video and now im debating if I should continue watching videos of Tape Face on youtube (this is only the first video I've seen since the agt clips)... I don't know, I want to see what else he's done but if he's going to do another past act the next time he appears on agt, I don't want to see it beforehand. the element of surprise would be gone and the joke would be ruined. :| I'm glad he decided to put on eyeliner though. it completes the character.
Just saw his (Semi-final?) performance and it used the horses + more. The free falling was used in his earlier performances (episode 10). still love this man. Never knew he used the comedy routine before AGT.
As soon as he laid himself over the stool and I heard Tom Petty playing that guitar I knew I was in trouble. I still couldn't stop myself from laughing out loud in the middle of the airport. XD
He's deffinetly Improved then. I can see he has worked on his actions and acting and on his facial/ body communication skills, since this performance and now on AGT.
People.........This IS Tapeface that we saw on America's Got Talent! This is NOT a fake. This was when he was over in the UK. When he auditioned for AGT, THATS when he applied the makeup.
Because New Zealand only has a small comedy scene with very little publicity as it is not a huge part of NZ culture. England is the international center of comedy so he was able to reach much larger audiences and grow his profile on the comedy circuit
I just think it's a good sign. In a world absolutely packed with the same crap and lackluster entertainment being produced every week it is a relief to see a respect for the old arts still exist. That a man can make a living, indeed reach international acclaim with a MIME ACT shows that our world is not as far down the hole as it sometimes seem. Guys like this are a must to counter balance the Lady Gaga and Kanye West generation.
Judging by the little zip through piece I saw in the Agt Judge Cut preview I think we just witnessed here in this vid what he's gonna be doing on that stage. They showed him in the preview wearing that airplane head gear. If all this is to come in his agt act this coming week I don't see him moving on
when he shakes their hands and sends them back to their seat he goes like: thank you, fak off haha fucking genius guy and genius character he has created
came after seeing americas got talent. and this guy is on the next ellen. gonna get life time supply of tapes.
xD
what kind of tapes?
OMG!!!!!! SAME!!!!!!😝😝😝😝😜😜😜
XD
Kim Daniel hehe tapes
I think he looks better with eye liner
Yeah, me too!
his eyes pop
agreed
yes
So true and i just saw he wasn't wearing that shoes he was in his 1st autidion
Eye Liner was important. And dark, cynical humor too. This is random.
dat profile pic doe
This was 4 Years ago
That moment he performs this act in the final and you said it was random
How do I snap like that
It's always random. I certainly agree the makeup adds but this isn't awful without it.
I am so glad that he is finally getting recognized on AGT. Hard work pays off. Love his act.
* angrily shakes two stuffed horses *
Me: VOTE TAPE FACE FOR PRESIDENT HES A GENIUS
true
Like him more with his dramatic eyeliner, makes him look like a Tim Burton character
YES
Ikr
same
Yes, more expressive.
true
he is like an old school jester.........I LOVE IT
Having watched this guy on AGT recently, I am still in stitches. His humour is absolute genius. :)
This is the weirdest TED Talk I have ever seen.
this isnt TED xd
It's the best TED Talk so far.
funny
You actually made me laugh aloud at a TH-cam comment.
PickyMcCritical kkwegksrveagaeg
Incase you guys dont know, he's the real guy behind HowToBasic
rlly? or just a joke
+Nurfajar Kurniawan no lie
he's from New Zealand :-)
uso
na he isnt

He's like a clown who's being held hostage and is being forced to entertain.
hahaha!
+Chronick wow. well
soooo...a jester?
So... Marina Joyce?
+Pixelgamer671 too soon man. too soon
That audience member is way more fun to watch in this act than Mel B
Ikr, probs Americans are bit too sensitive compared to this British audience :)
Agust Diz
Lol, the bloke from the crowd was having a blast.
Dude's my favorite AGT act. I'm literally ONLY voting for him in the live rounds. All 10 votes just to him.
I fucking lost it at the horses 😂😂😂
Ikr 😂😂😂
yea when he shake it and no music 😂
SAME I WAS TEARING UP BECAUSE I WAS LAUGHING SO HARD
The way their heads just flop around XD
I love him, but if you chain-watch his vids it gets so boring. He needs more acts.
Well he's obviously going to have repeat bits
Yeah its boring as hell. Especially now that hes doing the exact same shit on agt now.
***** Fair enough, but think of all of the comedians out there. They might do one or two jokes over, but the rest of their act is fresh. He is brilliant, but he really needs to think of something new before people get bored.
I know he's on AGT - what if he wins? Will he have anything new to show, or will he repeat what he's done dozens of times before?
Humourists tour the same jokes for years ...
+Kid Dynamite What about Paul Zerdin, he won agt a few years ago but if you chain watch it gets boring
he is genius. i find him funny every single time it means a lot, i find him funny even after watching the same act over and over again. he is truly entertaining. every people from every country can understand this.
Doesn't matter how many times I watch it, I love it
He’s a genius the way he puts all together! Love him in Vegas that’s a great place to watch him…🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈
I don't see how people could dislike this it is hilarious😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This guy is pure fucking genius. I hope AGT realizes his wit. He has a $1,000,000 mind so unlike the shitty singers and dancers on the show now
Ikr there are dancing and singing competitions
Ikr there are dancing and singing competitions
he is touring the UK soon as well
MrBlueD3V1L
Ya
+MrBlueD3V1L No. I am in Love with Tape Face right now but now I think he copied off of this guy or its the same guy. idk
Idk wtf I just watched but whatever it was I am now obsessed
Art in it's purest form
I loved this! xD this guy is amazing! Must admit this form of comedy you love it or hate it, But this is Reall comedy! I love the expression he got with his eyes :)
I can't wait to see all of this, on American got talent!
Anyone here from AGT
me
me
Me
lol me too....this guy is awesome he don't use his mouth and you'll end up laughing
Me
It's funny how much of this he did on AGT
Well before he auditioned for AGT he performed on the streets and actually went to school for being a clown as crazy as that sounds. So he did have a life of clowning around and comedy before AGT, he is almost 40 so
OMG I saw him on America's Got Talent. He's awesome!
the helicopter was genius...
it was plane, not a helicopter
MONKEYBREAD300 whoops, lol you are correct.
what are you doing with your life. Come on, dude.
haha jk
Agt
+Caleb Andrew Lewis well it like a humour guy or joke man
the first successful mime in history
When u realize that he did the same act 4 years ago for this year's AGT and there were already in TH-cam haha
You are a real life cartoon man! Really love it.
Watching him on America's Got Talent
He's being totally ORIGINAL and using crowd participation without saying anything is just genius. Reminds me of old black and white silent films.
this is silliness sublime! thank you
We know what to expect on AGT now
the moment he started the airplane act, I paused the video and now im debating if I should continue watching videos of Tape Face on youtube (this is only the first video I've seen since the agt clips)... I don't know, I want to see what else he's done but if he's going to do another past act the next time he appears on agt, I don't want to see it beforehand. the element of surprise would be gone and the joke would be ruined. :| I'm glad he decided to put on eyeliner though. it completes the character.
He didn't that was the only one
+State Farm all of his acts except for his sunglasses act were old
+GB6 - Super Smash Bros And the oven mittens I believe
GB6 - Super Smash Bros. bj
I just keep watching him, same gag different venues, still great.
This is how I imagine Mr Bean would be as a stand up comedian.
Rowan Atkinson did stand up comedy before play Mr Bean.
I know that, but it was an entirely different style. I meant if Mr Bean, the character, did stand up.
How about those act when he didn't say any word? Like the "Invisible drum" act?
Got here from America's Got Talent... this guy's humor is absolutely stupid, but it's hilarious! Love how he incorporates music as part of his act.
Just saw his (Semi-final?) performance and it used the horses + more. The free falling was used in his earlier performances (episode 10). still love this man. Never knew he used the comedy routine before AGT.
I love how in the last few seconds he taps the mic and shrugs, like "The fuck is this here for? I'm a mime..."
He's like a modern mime but better!
I don't blame you, it's a select kind of humor. I loved it, but that's just me and what I find funny.
Hey he did this is on AGT,why would he use it for the semi finals if its a re run?
His 'look' of today 2016 is soo much better than where he started. Keep the eye make up on dude!
Sent into an uncontrollable giggle after seeing a speechless man wave stuffed horse heads on a stick to speedy music.
Some Guy: I bet you can't get an audience member to wear a toilet seat around his head.
Tape Face: Your on!
I can never seem to get enough of tape face. Yes, that is his official name on bgt.
But before that his offical name was boy with tape on his face
it seemed like random acts that connected at the end. the horses, the cheerleader act, the toilet. brilliant i say. hatsoff
As soon as he laid himself over the stool and I heard Tom Petty playing that guitar I knew I was in trouble. I still couldn't stop myself from laughing out loud in the middle of the airport. XD
Somehow he reminds me of Mr. Bean and Carlie Chaplin
I was also thinking Chaplin.
+Marvelous Marv his very subtle, yet fast body actions do make him seem very Chaplin-ish
He's got the uniqueness and genius that was Andy Kaufman.
i was thinking like that
That's what Simon said too!:D
hello everyone.. someone know's The Song from 0:24 to 0:32 ? any clue is very welcome.. thank everyone
One of his weaker shows but he's still awesome.
It's just my opinion.
What if he has a cold?
make a slight in the tape
Enjoyed this vid, I have a dance, sing, act and more channel and have just done the tape face challenge on my brother and sister lol
Yo he can be a Great Doctor on doctor who!
He's deffinetly Improved then. I can see he has worked on his actions and acting and on his facial/ body communication skills, since this performance and now on AGT.
4 years later and he's the winner of the american got talent
Wow,l tough crowd. That guy he chose from the audience was awesome though. Tape face is AMAZING !
The reason that is funny is not because it's "funny". It's because this hilarious bloke is poetically insane.
I can't help but think about Rowan Atkinson every time I see this marvelous guy.
I love this guy! Anyone know what that piece of music that's playing at the very start of Sam's routine?
Freefalling by Tom Petty?
He's on Americas got talent season 11 as tape face and did the plane free falling act
People.........This IS Tapeface that we saw on America's Got Talent! This is NOT a fake. This was when he was over in the UK. When he auditioned for AGT, THATS when he applied the makeup.
with both my favorite songs ride of the Valkyries and William tell overture finale
Lol the moment he hands the Pom pons to the volunteer Tape Face must be thinking: "uh-oh. Got a live one here."
what name the song 0:32
Hahahahaha i can't stop laughing for minutes his the guy in Americas got talent his name is tape face
I bet this guy would do well on a television talent show, maybe in america
This was his performance final on AGT i was saddened but its still funny wish for new content though
can't wait to see you again in your home town next year Sam Wills!!
music at 0:14 please?
The same act he did on America's Got Talent 4 years later(2012this-2016AGT)
Because New Zealand only has a small comedy scene with very little publicity as it is not a huge part of NZ culture. England is the international center of comedy so he was able to reach much larger audiences and grow his profile on the comedy circuit
The toy horses made me die of laughter
the build up took too long...I'm glad he improved his act in AGT, making it seamless
wheres the eyeliner he had on at AGT?
this is from 2012
I believe he was actually well know before his audition, now he just probably wants to share his act with everyone.
hes been doing acts since 2001
he really looks like eminem! hahaha
I just think it's a good sign. In a world absolutely packed with the same crap and lackluster entertainment being produced every week it is a relief to see a respect for the old arts still exist. That a man can make a living, indeed reach international acclaim with a MIME ACT shows that our world is not as far down the hole as it sometimes seem.
Guys like this are a must to counter balance the Lady Gaga and Kanye West generation.
I think we all get him hes so simple to understand and funny its automatic :3
So taped has been here for years
yup since 2001
same bag he used in agt year 2016 !! this guy is really comedian
adorei
essa cara é demais ❤
ele me lembra o Charlie Chaplin......
muito Bom!! !!
Is this the same guy from AGT 2016? Of course this was before that but is it the same guy?
Salmak Fernandez It's aCt. Not agt. Verb: acting.
I want to play charades WI this man.
so creative , incredible :)))
Judging by the little zip through piece I saw in the Agt Judge Cut preview I think we just witnessed here in this vid what he's gonna be doing on that stage. They showed him in the preview wearing that airplane head gear. If all this is to come in his agt act this coming week I don't see him moving on
Se parece a Eminem😂😂😂😂
for his act the eyeliner makes him feel like a cartoon... is perfect. without it he looks like a good looking dude.
what name the song 0:25 ..???
finally he is on american got talent.....tape face u rocks
He is for real, he is the realest!
he is an absolute genius !!!! Love you tape face!
that was delightful. i have been delighted.
Now this man is on America got talent XD
when he shakes their hands and sends them back to their seat he goes like: thank you, fak off haha fucking genius guy and genius character he has created
this guy is so funny, saw him on tv last year!
That volunteer from the audience was way more into it than Mel was 😂
oh my god.... tape... tape face...?
he literally did these on Americas got talent...
