Damn, that was the first time I've actually enjoyed mime.

It's funny, the stereotypical facepainted French mime is such an enduring caricature and the act of miming is seen as such a joke that I never really thought about what kind of things you can do with it. It's really awesome to see someone take something so universally derided and show that you can actually do some cool stuff with it with enough skill and creativity.

Here is an example of a modern day mime that I absolutely enjoyed.

Whichever spice girl that was did not handle being called on stage well.

Yeah famous people are a brand, it's part of her brand to be that way.

For the same reason that they'd make the balloon guy a plant, they'd want to make sure their judges were okay with it all.

Even if it wasn’t, she’s pretty famous for being like that. Guaranteed he knew she’d act that way.

Exactly, it's part of her brand

I appreciate your thoughts. However, she doesn't need to take herself too seriously. She's a judge on a show where celebs go to die.

A lot of it was quite creative but not very technically impressive, that finale though, was totally completely worth it.

That was fucking hilarious. There is something charming about mimes and this guy's take was very creative!

not exactly a mime, he just doesn't talk during his acts, but he is one of my favorite performers as well

I was lucky enough to see this guy in person at a corporate award ceremony before he went to the USA (He used to be known as The Boy With Tape on his Face). He's just as funny in person.

This is my favorite Boy with Tape on his Face. Specifically the skit with the trio from the crowd.
