"Watching slightly famous people, talking to really famous people" Truer words were never said

I know this is a mean character but in this somg he's just so funny and stupid that I love him.

it is common knowledge that antagonists always have the best songs.

the delivery on "now i'm really really smart - very very smart" lives in my brain rent free

It's not the same without Michael yelling Telly every time

My school is doing Matilda jr, I'm Mr wormwood and it turns out this song isn't in the script 💀 Edit: A month after our final performance my school had a talent show. Me and Michael decided to sing the telly song for it, it went really well. So happy I got to sing this in the end.

"Take it away son" *terrible guitar solo* "you can't learn that from a stupid book" lol I love that part.

"Harry Potter? What a rotter' well. . . *Excuuussseee YOU!*

It's not the same without Michael shouting Telly in back round :(

I went to see Matilda last night and it was brilliant!

My school did this musical and they were so good and I can't listen to anyone but them now 😔 🤧 😪

Lol, the message is so funny and the way he portrays it!😂😂😂😂😂😂

Thank you, Dan. I didn't know I needed this in my life.

I was sent here by a man who supplied men with puppys for grooming.

Easy Grandma

This helped my daughter so much THANKS!

I love the play in London it was amazing

😂😂easy grandma😂😂

The live one is better with Micheal screaming "TELLY" in the background with his little ukulele

I have to listen to all the songs from Matilda and learn the lyrics because we are doing this musical for our summer show...

I love how everytime they say the number 3 they say free intead of three😂😂

Harry Potter is mentioned in this song. In both the 1996 movie and the 2022 one, Miss Trunchbull is played by an actress who was in Harry Potter. In 1996, she was played by Pam Ferris who played Aunt Marge and in 2022, she was played by Emma Thompson who played Professor Trelawny

michael's guitar solo truly touched my heart

Thank you, Dan. Thank you.

im singing this for my matilda audition

I might be performing this at a talent show in front of my school. I can't wait to see the audience's reaction!

its nice to know this poor girls video now has a shit ton of comments about puppies, grooming, and barbie blood money...

I was sent here by a man who stole puppies and called them rude names

0:58 is the new Jimi Hendrix.

mola mucho :)

Thank you NerdCubed. This is something i needed in my life.... I am confused how i feel about it though.

Mr Wormwood reminds me of Del Boy from OFAH in this song haha

Harry Potter, what a rotter! A lot of my classmates would be really triggered right now TvT

awesome!!!!!!!!!

I was sent here by a man who got parent complains on his videos about child rated games...

Very very very very funny 😂 song

what a banger

Matilda the musical is epic

Thank

This is why I am auditioning for mr wormwood

Mr wormworm: You can tell from my big telly, just what a clever fella I am Me: SHUT UP!!!

I feel like I lost 10 IQ points after listening to this.

Did Nerd3 go to see Matilda the musical, its been in the mrystery video twice

I recall in the version I saw Mr Wormwood (in character) hosted the interval.

I just school play and was mr wormwoood, had microphones and everything, my role was great but we didn't include this song.

like if you saw the musical with michael shouting TELLY

for some reason im laughing

even though im really shy i would love to be matilda in the show if i had a chance!

The Nerd who?

i listen to this well studying:l

I need to show this to my teachers

my schools doing this musical and i got chosen to do matilda it's so fun rehearsing

Describes a lot of people in the past and present.

This should be the British national anthem

It's funny when you relise they had to read the script to even come up all of the songs.

I'm auditioning for Matilda the Musical in a few months, but the problem is that there aren't any young male roles that involve singing, or at least that I know of. I could technically play a girl role but I don't know if I'd feel comfortable doing that. Maybe I'll do part of the ensemble or something. Suggestions would be great :)

The bigger the telly the smarter the man.

William Shakespeare swilliam shmespeare

what's the instrument playing in the background starting 1:33? is it the clarinet?

2:18 may i correct its actually "what a very clever fella i am!"

I really can think that Dan sang this.

I was sent here in an attempt to learn a Cockney Accent

our school bcps loves all the matilda songs cuz we r doing a peformance about matilda only my class 12 and class 13 yr 5

He sings in it a bit. Well he just say telly each time the farther does.

Yay

my brother did this in primary and now he can't remember doing this 😢 miss primary

10/Swilliam Shmakespear

Please can you make a "When I grow Up" video? :)

I'm doing matilda jr, and I'm mr wormwood D:

1:53.5 noice

I doing this play and part

easy grandma

Literally my mom and Matilda is me

I was sent here by a guy that discourages using puppies to attract children by old men

Time to go read a book so that I can get my IQ back up lol

Man I miss year 6...

I was sent here by the Ring Leader of an underground puppy trafficking cult...Barbie!

he kinda reminds me of david tennant

I found it hard to hate the father as much in the musical as I did in the movie because he's just so funny. And I like the funky green suit. Still hate the mom though.

I think my IQ just lowered :)

...he did.... dear goodness... he did...

If a picture is a thousand words than watching this video is the equivilant of reading 4650000 words [video is in 30 fps meaning 30 pictures per second or "Frames"] (2 min = 120 sec + 35 sec = 155 sec x 30 fps = 4650 pictures in this video x 1000 words = 4650000)

I was sent here because I saw Matilda at a theatre.

I can use this as an excuse! :3

gurujiAagar Aap ka ye totka shi ho gya to hmara parivar fir se jud jayga Aap ke ham Aabari hai

Is this how Trump is prepping for presidency?

lol

1:49 What?! I love Jane Austen!

It doesn’t feel right not hearing Michael scream telly

At 1:41 at the abusing part it’s funny

TELLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Barbie must die! Say "Aye" if you are with me, Aye.

all I know I lernt from my telly is mostly nothing I learn from books

But he did include it with James Joyce and Shakespeare, so I'm considering it a compliment.

Ive been sent here because i managed to somehow get Mr Wormwood in my school musical...

"Harry Potter, What a Rotter!" Proof that Mr. Wormwood prefers Lord of the Rings.

Books vs. movies. All depends on what you read or what you watch. You get more depth from an episode of Mad Men than you'd ever get reading Shades of Gray (though I highly doubt Matilda's dad watches Mad Men). However, the Animorphs book series is way better than the Animorphs TV series. In other words, all forms of entertainment have a story to tell and shouldn't be passed up. Though, to be fair, television was beyond crappy when Roald Dahl was writing.

*terrible guitar solo*

1:48 I got so pissed of, since I am a harry potter fan.

I'm kind of annoyed that this song wasn't featured in the new Netflix film, there can't be that many policies against insults towards classical literature, when it's only a bit of fun with the rhyming song lyrics, and not intentional disrepect.
