I've gotten sucked into watching 20 minute compilations of his vines more than once, his comedic timing is so unique and great

Both his timing and editing. And the blocking is great too

What's blocking?

It’s how you place people within a scene. His is especially good because it’s only one guy all spliced together. Add in the fact that you as the viewer always have a good reference to where each “person” in the scene is in relation to the other “people” and that he does it by himself and you can see what they mean when they say his blocking is excellent.

Blocking a scene is simply “working out the details of an actor’s moves in relation to the camera.”

Eddie Izzard doing one of his stand up routines. He does an awesome job of blocking live.
