Line 1: {{~~trope~~creator}} So this bloke came up to me and said "describe Tim Vine here", and I said "Tim Vine is a British stand-up comedian who has gained considerable ~~renown~~renowned for his mastery of the pun. His entire act consists almost entirely of him standing up and delivering a stream of [[Incredibly Lame Pun\|groan-worthy]] yet somehow amusing plays on words, with the occasional comedy song or other strange interlude". Also known for starring alongside Lee Mack in sitcom ''[[Not Going Out]]''. ~~----~~ {{creatortropes}} ~~'''This performer provides examples of'''~~ * [[Catch Phrase]]: Arguably, "so..." which is how many of his jokes start. He likely uses it because so few of his jokes have any relation to the others. If you wanted to extend it, you could argue that "so (person X) came up to me", "so I said to this bloke" (which was actually the title of one of his DVDs) and "so I went to the doctor's/airport/watch shop/wherever" are also catchphrases. * [[Ear Worm]]: "Pen behind the ear!" Line 11: * [[Overly Long Gag]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pwbQvJDFzQ&feature=related Pen Behind The Ear]. * [[Pungeon Master]]: Perhaps the finest example of this trope in modern times. * [[Rapid -Fire Comedy]]: He used to hold the Guinness World Record for Most Jokes Told In An Hour. * [[Self -Deprecation]]: Some jokes: {{quote\| I went into a mirror shop and I said to the bloke behind the counter "I want to buy a mirror you tall blonde idiot". He said "I'm over here sir".}} * [[Sliding Scale of Silliness Versus Seriousness]]: Probably the silliest it's possible for ''anything'' to ever get. * [[Small Reference Pools]]: A victim of this: many of his jokes have been wrongly attributed to Tommy Cooper. * [[So Unfunny ~~Its~~It's Funny]]: The "funny" anecdotes in "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQOOHsIO2Mc&feature=related Family Holidays]". * [[Surreal Humour]]: The set-ups of some of his puns are strange enough to turn the jokes into this. For example: {{quote\| I was in a restaurant and a duck came up to me and said "your eyes sparkle like the morning dew". I said "waiter, I asked for ''aromatic'' duck".}} {{reflist}} [[Category:Recorded and Stand Up Comedy]] [[Category:Tim Vine]] [[Category:~~Trope~~Comedian]] [[Category:Describe Topic Here]] [[Category:Names to Know in Comedy]]
