Potato

My song about a potato.

This was performed at AEOUD (An Evening of Unnecessary Detail) in Bethnal Green on 30th May 2017.

How the hell did you manage to do a visual gag without visuals!?

Respect.

Potato running though fields of wheat.

An attempted assassination by a man wielding a potato peeler was in my montage.

For my montage, I imagined a little potato wearing a high vis jacket being show around a factory.

This is a real master class of comedy song. Instantly funny concept, clever lyrics, audience interaction (with a twist!), and a freaking visual gag without visuals. I mean, the funniest parts of the song is just when he's strumming the same chord over and over for a few seconds while the audience imagines stuff going on. That is *extremely* clever. Real comedy art.

Don't blame me, I voted for Broccoli.

This is wonderful. You're wonderful.

potato gives talk at factory
potato reads stories to primary school kids
potato meets with foreign leader

In October 2022, when Liz Truss was outlasted by a lettuce, a potato Prime Minister suddenly seems like a perfectly good idea.

I thought it was an obvious Boris Johnson joke - before I realised it's two years old.... damn

[kilmorgancastle]

You can hear Tom Scott's laugh and honestly it's precious

[KhaoticPhoenix]

Tom's Laughter in the background basically says it all...

[Ghirahim]

So everyone's montage was a potato meeting an orange, both in office?

"Anyone got anything other than Trump", My feelings about modern news.

[eosatwood]

I just saw the notification of "Jay foreman" "Potato." "Youtube"

[lucybell]

1:27 the giggling absolutely cracks me up every time

[nickchambers]

I showed my mum this song and some of your others and she found them absolutely hysterical. She said “what a silly man”, which I consider to be a compliment of the highest order. Just thought you’d appreciate hearing this

I thought our Prime minister was already a potato?
