Genius. He makes all the participants look good and he starts off by creating low expectations but then consistently raises the bar. His sense of timing is amazing.
His genius, as Howie was pointing out, is that he has brought the art of Mime to the modern world on prime time television. The face paint. The striped uniform. The body language. Building a world in the mind of the audience, and adding new polish to old fashioned parlor tricks. Genius.
One of the most original acts I've ever seen and funniest. If I ever return to Las Vegas I hope Tape Face is still performing there. After years I still remember him and every act he did on AGT.
@Commander Keen Jerry did pantomime over in France where he was very successful and was known for being a famous silent clown over there. By that time, people in the US knew him as a loud crazy man-child of the Martin and Lewis comedy team and would find his silent pantomime act too out-of-character here.
Saw him at a stand up show years ago in Birmingham and he was brilliant. The way he was getting audience members to do the most ridiculous things just by facial expressions! Always keep an eye out for his name
@essennagerry He tours the world he is originally from new zealand i remember seeing a show from him years and years before he went on agt, not sure if he still goes by the name but his name originally was "The boy with tape on his face" then he did agt and tape face stuck
Probably the best I've ever seen as far as comedy is concerned. Audience participation on stage , floor Audience swinging to the beat. He's certainly on a whole other level 🤣 & without one word spoken . Genius 👏👏👏
I am watching him again and again! BTW in his interviews he is absolutely charming and full of charisma, and his live shows are brilliant. In AGT he had a time limit unfortunately.
Awesome to see our Kiwi New Zealand boy Sam Wills known as Tape Face on America's Got Talent. He has such an original act. He is a pure genius and brilliant entertainer. Proud to see a fellow New Zealander making a name for himself on the world stage. 🙂
Дикий восторг от увиденного! Я смеялась, я удивлялась и получала эстетическое удовольствие. Браво участнику шоу! По-больше бы таких выступлений. Очень рада, что наткнулась на этот ролик
\hoping on the 4 years later train to say I don't find this funny at all. Remove the audience laugh track and this is so bang average, it's kids cartoon levels of comedy
Tape Face got robbed by not winning that season. He is truly talented. Like a nouveau mime that doesn't suck. Dude could have been a huge hit in Vegas or something, idk
I love this! It's soo cool how very individual and unique we can all be. I think about how I just about missed this. How many other amazing things are out there that we go through life never seeing or knowing about. This guy is Great!
What's cool is, since he doesn't speak there's no language barriers to his humor, so anyone from any place can enjoy it. Hope you're having a good day, I don't know who you are, or where you are, but I know you're like me so I wish you happiness and good fortune in your future
Tape Face, we hope you're somewhere being an absolute riot and as successful as possible. This is truly a wonderful watch! Loved every minute of your just light hearted demeanor and creative humor. Hats off my friend!
His talent lies in being liked no matter what. His talent lies in perfect management of audience mood and expectation honed in to second-to-second performance.
I love their performances so much. These performances are meaningful for education and good advice to remind all people to struggle all obstacles and go forward until successful. ❤👨👩👧👦🙏🏼 Congratulations to you guys from Cambodia and all of Cambodians we love you guys so much. 💞❤🇰🇭🇺🇲🇺🇳🇳🇿🇩🇪🇪🇺🇵🇫❤💞
I don´t know why, but I just love him! He is so weird, creepy and funny. I first thought he was some kind of a "singing" ventriloquist (the first act with those kitchen mittens) But as it turns out, he is so much more lol! =D
The true art in this is to pick the right audiance member to mess with and to measure exactly how much you can get away with. If you pick badly and the person just refuses to do whatever you want them to do or worse, if you do something that crosses one of these invisible lines it can easily torpedo your whole show. The lady he picks at 14:49, that was a bad pick. He was dangerously close to what he could get away with. Any more and she would likely have stormed off the stage.
So I have to be honest here, I only saw his first performance when he was on the show. I never ever saw his other performances ever. So I am very glad that these are on CS-tv. I love TapeFace. He is hilarious, and amazingly talented.
Morgan I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days, and I hope God bless you to have a great day today, i'm Steven from from Overbrook and where are you from ?
These acts and concepts seem so simple yet Tape Face makes it so incredibly entertaining by exaggerating his actions as well as playing with audio, you can really get a feel of this character he is playing and not once has he needed to speak a word. THAT takes true talent.
Tape face is an absolute legend. He was my favourite act in that season( 10 or 11, I don't remember ) I loved his comedy and weirdness, and everything about him!!! Amazing man!! I'm pretty sure he's speechless on how far he went... Tape Face the legend...
I know, right…why did they even bother cutting to that? “Quick, let’s cut to the much less funny and interesting version of what’s happening onstage…Nick hasn’t been on screen in the last 20 seconds”
I find him totally hilarious and creative. His acts are so unique and original and I laugh every damn time! At first I wanted to dislike him cuz I thought he was going to be obnoxious but I was an idiot and juged a book by it's taped up cover lol
quasicat c Sometimes really just somtimes weird? He my good friend is werid (and I know weird I am weird) all the time your right on the nose with the rest he is most definitely funny and mysterious.
I know I've seen this comment on another one of his videos but it needs to be said again: Someone who can make an entire audience die with laughter with a pair of oven mitts deserves some recognition
TRES SOFT PAS D EFFETS DE MANCHE Attentif il met tout en place calmement habillé de sombre Très créatif mais discret et efficace sans affolement ménage l effet de surprise gardant le spectateur Attentif et Captif DU GD SPECTACLE CHAPEAU L ARTISTE !!!! 🤩🤣😀🤗🤗🤗💖 BRILLANT et EFFICACE BRAVO 🤣😂🤩🤗🤗🤗🤩

There is the argument where anyone can literally do what this guy does, but not everyone has the balls to do what he does True comedian, 10/10
KydroxHD truelala
And no one has the mind for it, crazy creative!
KydroxHD t'y
Not everyone could do it with the same panache.
KydroxHD trust me they'll Learn when to stop ps mostly girls
this guy is the literal personification of "never let them know your next move" lol, truly impressive creativity
His shirt look like Rick Ashley shirt
@Devan Alfarezki i feel rickrolled now.
@Verónica Ledesma NEVER GONNA
@Aves Lazulli GIVE YOU UP, NEVER GONNA LET YOU DOWN
@Neko_Hiro San NEVER GONNA RUN AROUND, AND
Genius. He makes all the participants look good and he starts off by creating low expectations but then consistently raises the bar. His sense of timing is amazing.
*The dude has so much class, he's always thinking about THE NEXT PERSON!!*
Yes, Jacob?!
"He makes all the participants look good" except for the lady at 14:50 XD
@Nyde Ah, haha. I see what you mean. I suspect that was staged though just for dramatic effect
"Tape Face" has never said one word through any of his act. Yet, he gets whole audiences to laugh, smile, cheer and clap for him. Brilliant!
😂😂😂😂So true. I love him. He reminds me of a modern Mr. Bean. I loved Mr. Bean as a child.
Modern Charlie Chaplin
I got my friend to watch this and she was scared, until she burst out laughing when he starts scratching his nuts during the oven mitts gag.
His genius, as Howie was pointing out, is that he has brought the art of Mime to the modern world on prime time television. The face paint. The striped uniform. The body language. Building a world in the mind of the audience, and adding new polish to old fashioned parlor tricks. Genius.
Nailed it!
He's so bad....
@B U S S Mime isn’t for everyone but obviously a lot of people enjoyed his performances.
@Stephen Theriault I've seen people mime before. This sucks.
@B U S S its your opinion you are entitled to one but many find this amusing including me.
One of the most original acts I've ever seen and funniest. If I ever return to Las Vegas I hope Tape Face is still performing there. After years I still remember him and every act he did on AGT.
He definitely channels old silent film stars , Chaplin, Buster Keaton and mixes it with acrobatic magician comedy. He's very very talented
ahh u forgot about mr bean
Jerry Lewis started his solo stand up career doing this, which is called a "dumb act". He was never a success at it though
I feel like he’s got a little Andy Kaufman there too with the confusing the audience bit
@Commander Keen Jerry did pantomime over in France where he was very successful and was known for being a famous silent clown over there. By that time, people in the US knew him as a loud crazy man-child of the Martin and Lewis comedy team and would find his silent pantomime act too out-of-character here.
Hell, I even pick up on some major pee wee Herman vibes at 15:35 ! Tape face was, and probably still is, my all time fav on agt ! Brilliant
Saw him at a stand up show years ago in Birmingham and he was brilliant. The way he was getting audience members to do the most ridiculous things just by facial expressions! Always keep an eye out for his name
Oh cool, if I ever visit the UK I might just google check if he has any shows anywhere haha
I saw him in Vegas
@essennagerry He tours the world he is originally from new zealand i remember seeing a show from him years and years before he went on agt, not sure if he still goes by the name but his name originally was "The boy with tape on his face" then he did agt and tape face stuck
no way!! birmingham alabama?? i wish i wouldve been there!
Um gênio do entretenimento com simplicidade! Fantástico!
Pure genius 😂
Дети лучше бы придумали .
Blessing and honor and glory and power Be to Him Who sits on the throne, And to The Lamb, forever and ever.
PERFEITO AS ARTES DELE.ELE DEVIA GANHAR UM PRÊMIO DE APRESENTADOR DE TRUQUES E MAGIAS
Finalmente um brasileiro por aqui 😁
I would honestly pay money to go see a show of his. Love it.
You and I and many who know him would willingly go see Tape Face.
Vegas
We saw his show in Las Vegas this year. He's even more hilarious in person. We love this guy.
Oh wow he’s got an act in Las Vegas? Good for him.
@ohroonoko yes he does. It is at the Topicana Hotel and Casino.
I envy you!!!!!
Великолепно. В наше время "стендапов" так редко можно увидеть качественную пантомиму. Браво.
This guy is a true entertainer from just little props not even saying a word
Carl Musselman thank you for your service! have a good one!
Carl Musselman θκσνσ
So funny
I think you mean a "mime"
TheDancerMacabre mimes don't entertain they scare
Probably the best I've ever seen as far as comedy is concerned. Audience participation on stage , floor Audience swinging to the beat. He's certainly on a whole other level 🤣 & without one word spoken . Genius 👏👏👏
I am watching him again and again! BTW in his interviews he is absolutely charming and full of charisma, and his live shows are brilliant. In AGT he had a time limit unfortunately.
Is this Sam Wills?
This guy is really good... I imagine the pressure he goes through to come up with his shows each time he gets these reactions.
Молодец парень повеселил от души... Добрые смешные номера для взрослых, и детей. Наблюдать за ним одно удовольствие!
this guy can be in a perfect Tim Burton movie
Moe Sargi Fan I was thinking the same thing
Moe Sargi Fan right he is perfect
Baby AliveFan101 yes
looks like something out of a Jhonen Vasquez comic book.

Дикий как его глаза!
Releembrei dos cinemas mudos, maravilhoso!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've watched his audition I don't know how many times and after all these years I still laugh like hell at him. He is a genius!
I loved this so much that I started clapping as if I was at a live performance!
The best guy ever...I would pay to go see his own show. Absolute Classic
Well, you can. He has one.
@Socially Responsible Xenomorph its been 4 years
hahahhaha 4 years later
@Socially Responsible Xenomorph Better late than never :)
\hoping on the 4 years later train to say I don't find this funny at all. Remove the audience laugh track and this is so bang average, it's kids cartoon levels of comedy
He never gets old... love this guy!
Tape Face got robbed by not winning that season. He is truly talented. Like a nouveau mime that doesn't suck. Dude could have been a huge hit in Vegas or something, idk
that mean how the other must be bad..
He has a show in Vegas and has for years. He's very successful.
*Humble & Charismatic.....with a whole lotta HUMOR, you cannot buy or purchase this kinda creativity!!*
@Qi Huna LoL thx for the creativity ...OK the first was good... but all other.. really not.. but it's the price to do/to make say way all time
@wantkill alllgbt nice opinion. got more?
I love this! It's soo cool how very individual and unique we can all be. I think about how I just about missed this. How many other amazing things are out there that we go through life never seeing or knowing about. This guy is Great!
Браво! Это действительно смешно :) И юмор не злой. Его талант достоин уважения!
What's cool is, since he doesn't speak there's no language barriers to his humor, so anyone from any place can enjoy it. Hope you're having a good day, I don't know who you are, or where you are, but I know you're like me so I wish you happiness and good fortune in your future
@Jakob Whaley thanks! And all the best to you :)
что смешного?? очень тупой юмор, кривое зеркало посмотри лучше
@Jakob Whaley So cute
@LV what confused me so much is your pfp is my phone background and I was like "what the heck"
As his last act it would've been amazing if he turned out to be an amazing singer
Or shredded like a master on the banjo.
Alec ur idea is better
AnimationWizard he is
It would be amazing if he was
Esse cara simplesmente é um gênio
what's funny is most people who would attempt this would just come off as cringe imo but he NAILS it. Truly one of a kind
I never get tired of watching him perform.. 😍 Brilliant!
Uaaaaau que legal!!! Parabéns pelo sucesso 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
Смеялся от души ! !Великолепно!
A real entertainer. He took simple ideas and concepts and turned them into something everyone can enjoy.
Это фактор неожиданности! Супер. Захватывает, держит и не отпускает до конца
Free
Tape Face, we hope you're somewhere being an absolute riot and as successful as possible. This is truly a wonderful watch! Loved every minute of your just light hearted demeanor and creative humor. Hats off my friend!
His talent lies in being liked no matter what. His talent lies in perfect management of audience mood and expectation honed in to second-to-second performance.
Yep, still holds up even after 6 years. And him making the Human Table is still my favorite.
Legit. The ending had me singing and in tears. I mean...just wow. I wish TapeFace all the best the world has to offer.
it's like if Tim burton made his own version of Mr Bean
Joel Fleran YESSSS
QUICK TO HOLLYWOOD!!! we gotta pitch this
Joel Fleran OMG YES
Joel Fleran Mr Bean? Like? Julian2? XD
Katlin39 AJ OMG SPINNY BOI!!! Whats ur user on aj so i can budy you!!
I love their performances so much. These performances are meaningful for education and good advice to remind all people to struggle all obstacles and go forward until successful. ❤👨👩👧👦🙏🏼 Congratulations to you guys from Cambodia and all of Cambodians we love you guys so much. 💞❤🇰🇭🇺🇲🇺🇳🇳🇿🇩🇪🇪🇺🇵🇫❤💞
The communication without saying a word is always my favorite part. The "Thank you" nods at the end of the bits make my chuckle.
Wow a true master entertainer.. Why have we not heard more of this person?
Dude this guy's a genius. Not only does he evoke the silent film stars like Chaplin or Keaton, but he also borrows a lot from miming and prop comedy.
Muito bom 🥰😂
I don´t know why, but I just love him! He is so weird, creepy and funny. I first thought he was some kind of a "singing" ventriloquist (the first act with those kitchen mittens) But as it turns out, he is so much more lol! =D
He's amazing

Seeing this guy live was INCREDIBLE. I highly recommend his show.
ela jamais vai se esquecer disso kkkk
So I have to be honest here, I only saw his first performance when he was on the show. I never ever saw his other performances ever. So I am very glad that these are on CS-tv. I love TapeFace. He is hilarious, and amazingly talented.
Morgan I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days, and I hope God bless you to have a great day today, i'm Steven from from Overbrook and where are you from ?
Hope you don't mind me asking
Hello beautiful ❤️❤️
The only guy who can tell a story without a single word spoken 😂
Tape face doing his show: evebody laughing and cheering Janitors: god dammit it's him again
A fish Baker Lmaooooo
LMAO
what if he IS the janitor?
A fish Baker lol so true
A fish Baker you just made my day dude XD
Боже, как же это здорово окунуться в середину 2010х... Как всё мило и беззаботно. И весело.
I 100% agree. It wasn't a happy time for me, but I know the world was better.
Все мы были Так молоды и беззаботны! И зубы были все свои!
Молодец!!!очень нравятся его выступления!!!
2023 and this is still priceless till now, pure entertainment
very few people can pull off pure physical comedy ,this dudes got it.
I miss 2016 a lot, Tape face and Dorenbos will forever be one of my favorites on this show
These acts and concepts seem so simple yet Tape Face makes it so incredibly entertaining by exaggerating his actions as well as playing with audio, you can really get a feel of this character he is playing and not once has he needed to speak a word. THAT takes true talent.
It's so unfunny
@zarrowthenorseyou're pretty unfunny for commenting that on a four year old comment.
@MelodicFist lol
It's just like my cat!
Omg. ..just the expression in his eyes is totally enough to make you laugh!.... So talented so funny.💫
him firing more staples as the guy left. 😂 dude does facial comedy so well.
He is definitely one of the top acts on this show.
It says a lot that on his second appearance, Simon was smiling before the act even started
This guy is one in a million. He knows the classic humor with modern twist
He is the perfect example of the quote "talk less work more"😂🎉
Tape face is an absolute legend. He was my favourite act in that season( 10 or 11, I don't remember ) I loved his comedy and weirdness, and everything about him!!! Amazing man!! I'm pretty sure he's speechless on how far he went... Tape Face the legend...
@ChefGiovanni I’m dead asf
TapeFace is so good that even Nick Cannon’s seriously unfunny riffing off of him in the 1st segment couldn’t torpedo him. 👌
I know, right…why did they even bother cutting to that? “Quick, let’s cut to the much less funny and interesting version of what’s happening onstage…Nick hasn’t been on screen in the last 20 seconds”
Increíble!!! Súper creativo y original!!! Lo amo!!!
Замечательный артист!💓💓💓
After all these years. This is the man on americas got talent and showed comedy without speaking a single word. legend
I find him totally hilarious and creative. His acts are so unique and original and I laugh every damn time! At first I wanted to dislike him cuz I thought he was going to be obnoxious but I was an idiot and juged a book by it's taped up cover lol
free fallin tom petty
They are not creative, no art here
@Dixie_Normous creative can be any form, art is just one of them
@Dixie_Normous u can't see LLLLLL
@Dixie_Normous There's no troll here, besides you.
POR FAVOR COLOQUEM LEGENDAS PARA O BRASIL
Bro, this guy should have won it all! He did unexpected things! We don’t see these too much!
Muito bom mesmo!!!!
Mel B getting peeved off during the whole toilet seat act is always my favorite!~🤣🤣🤣🤣
When Tape Face asked Mel to go up to the stage, she looked liked," I hate this, why me?"
Mel has such bad sportsmanship - you can see it in other acts as well not just this one
She also murmmured something like ' f,ck this sh,t '
Best way to shut Mel B is... 15:55
Очень талантливый парень🙂
Весёлая программа у парня, добрая, юморная. Талантливо!
BRILLIANT, we need more entertainment like this❤😂
I can tell that this guy's really smart, it doesn't matter what you do, if the character's likeable, the audience will love it.
Ржал как конь! Парень - огонь!))))))))
OMG tape face made Simon smile!!
Just DreamingKawaii ye Simon never smiles unless it's funny
What about Gatis Kandis? xD
Jana Niu Gatis Kandis Lolololool He So Stupid 😂😂
Just DreamingKawaii
He's a genius in his realm of comedy. Amazing!
He won Americas Got Talent with acts that would be normally seen at a county fair. Brilliant.
Yes, this is simple. The true talent is in the act and also in the fresh wind it blews in this competition.
LOL HE IS SOO FUNNY AND WHEN HE PUT THE SUNGLASSES ON HE IS LIVING THE DREAM😂
Tape face is funny, and mysterious, and sometimes weird
quasicat c yah definitely
Add unpredictable and you have a full description.
quasicat c Sometimes really just somtimes weird? He my good friend is werid (and I know weird I am weird) all the time your right on the nose with the rest he is most definitely funny and mysterious.
too many and's. too many commas. The last comma is completely unnecessary. Correct sentence: "Type face is funny, mysterious and sometimes weird."
muito bom nota dez
Очень хорошо умеет держать интригу. Интересный и загадочный.
the fact that he makes utter crap seem genius is why everyone loves him
This is a diamond! He deserves endless applause! 👍🤣
I love Tape Face❤😊It's very funny 😂
I know I've seen this comment on another one of his videos but it needs to be said again: Someone who can make an entire audience die with laughter with a pair of oven mitts deserves some recognition
TRES SOFT PAS D EFFETS DE MANCHE Attentif il met tout en place calmement habillé de sombre Très créatif mais discret et efficace sans affolement ménage l effet de surprise gardant le spectateur Attentif et Captif DU GD SPECTACLE CHAPEAU L ARTISTE !!!! 🤩🤣😀🤗🤗🤗💖 BRILLANT et EFFICACE BRAVO 🤣😂🤩🤗🤗🤗🤩

I did sound for Sam at the comedy fest in Auckland, New Zealand several years ago. The man is a total genius. And a really nice guy as well!
I really want him to have his own show not gonna lie.
This guy is brilliant , genius in fact, he has the gift , the skills , and balls to do what he is doing,I do like his comedian sketches . ♥♥♥♥♥
Самый лучший мужик. Эх, ностальгия))
2022, I still enjoy this show. Best comedy audition ever.
Agree. He’s just pure joy and delight🎉
2023 too!!!!!
Yes one word. BRILLIANT. Have a nice day..
Превосходно! Просто и смешно!
