Limmy's Show

i should have guessed you'd sort it out swiftly

think this series has been his weakest yet but he's my favourite comedian of any description right now.he absolutely kills me.his twitter ramblings are sort of anti-comedy,but can be amazing. coco jambo.

second ep of this run altho a few dud moments is the best complete ep I can remember and most recent adventure call the sketch that has given me the most continuous/mounting lol

This week's episode was the best yet I think... such a devastating combination of bleak and slapstick. Facile comparison, but "Mam, it's the Windy Man agin: call the polis" made me think he's a post-Trainspotting Ivor Cutler.

Dunno about best, but definitely very good. Perhaps the best episode to show someone who'd not seen the series before? It felt a bit easier going than, say, episode 3.

There's a track on the forthcoming Mogwai album (a soundtrack to a French TV show, 'Les Revenants') called "Kill Jester".

Episode 6 was pretty great too... and apparently the last ever. Which is a pity, but given the workload he'd have had making the thing it's probably best he stopped before getting burned out.

Saw ep 5, the payoff for the scary puppet sketch was bathos par excellence. i lost my shit.

episode 6 was the best of the series, for me.

series 1 dvd comes HIGHLY recommended

My sister got me it for Christmas, but I did actually see an episode on my last trip to Scotland so it wasn't quite my introduction. Have only watched the 1st DVD but... Googoogagas: Modus Operandi? Looks like I might have to stop my (occasional) Bobby Gillespie skits on ILM in case people think I'm ripping Limmy off :( Dee Dee is an instant classic, the Finnieston Cran + the kitchen. And that sketch about the evil wee ned annoying the guy in the park is so accurate on evil wee neds, down to saying "Yas" instead of "Yes", *steps down to pick up a conker* "Gies that"...

somehow had missed everything by him (one of those where you keep promising yself you'll catch up with it but don't). Watched all of season 6 the other week - Stevie T otm about bleakness of it all. Particularly enjoyed Windy Man and puppet battle. will start from season1.

My son and his school pals do the Dumbbell Dance and shout "your wife is a floozy!" at each other. I like that Limmy's created playground memes without being too catchphrasey.

Fockin' love how every Dee Dee sketch begins "Fockin'..."

... I was thinking the very same thing earlier today!

limmy's show the tv series? pfft, true fans watch THESE: http://www.youtube.com/user/GuyWoodward/videos?sort=da&flow=grid&view=0

Limmy getting attacked on twitter by Caitlin Moran is bringing tears to my eyes.

His obsession with hating the Daft Punk album is a bit embarrassing. Let it go Limmy, it's just a record.

I don't know what the correct quantity of time and words to spend on Daft Punk might be.

On Twitter? A lot less than this.

did you see this though http://hiddentracks.org/its-not-actually-a-disco-album-per-se-daft-punk-notes-from-a-small-backlash-2013/

xp on twitter as opposed to what? Print journalism?

i'd say about a muffit's worth

lol

haha

i thought his review of the album contained some of the funniest stuff he's ever done.

mainly:

https://vimeo.com/66155376#t=2206 the bit about working in an office and the guy next to him singing the words to the julian casablancas track under his breath, then breaking off to say "can you just put this on the server mate".

also the part where he's listening to skrillex then cuts back to that terrible terrible intro to the panda bear track. doing this relentlessly for ages.

both tracks are kinda crappy but limmy puts a magnifying glass right up to it, for 10/10 lols

also doing 'get lucky' as the foxy bingo ad

(ok, 'funniest stuff he's ever done' is a reach but i have been laughing a shitload at those bits)

The Caitlin Moran stuff is hilarious. I would like to see more of him v chattering classes idiots.

curses, i had vowed never to listen to the dp lp ever ever but a limmy liveblog is temptation itself

not sure i want to engage with his music views, he likes funk d'void and other shitty scottish techno.

Never engaged with this dude before but seriously the longer the Daft Punk hate goes on the funnier it is.

He's right about the Peter Paphides piece being astonishingly patronising btw.

He's done way funnier stuff than the specific Daft Punk stuff - it's not even cos I disagree with him on the record, it's just not his best work. The Caitlin Moran fallout and the Paphides stuff is brilliant though. Esp the photos of him in the park.

Her tweet about "if he keeps slagging off my man, he'll be pissing through a straw" was incredibly embarrassing.

imo all paphides pieces make complete sense once u realise he is the spit of gale from breaking bad

Her tweet about "if he keeps slagging off my man, he'll be pissing through a straw" was incredibly embarrassing.

It was so bizarre. All the more because he genuinenly did not slag off her hubby, not in a nasty way, but was more concerned about the DP opinion. Moran picked the wrong person to mess with, rookie mistake.

Has anyone storyfied it? Need to browse casually at work

not sure i want to engage with his music views, he likes funk d'void and other shitty scottish techno.

gona disagree. he also likes pet shop boys, shannon, shit loads of early 80s disco and a ton of early house. i've always thought and been pleased by the fact he has vastly better music taste than pretty much any other uk comedian out there. (saw david baddiel tweet the singer of starsailor the other day saying he was a huge fan)

the caitlin thing is car-crash interesting. i like her, and paphides writing, but her response to limmy was a real head-in-hands nooo moment

and yeah limmy was totally right to point out how condescending that PP article is: 'oh, the little people simply haven't heard it under the right circumstances' (though his early vinyl release idea does have something about it). i can't think of any circumstances where i'd listen to 'touch' or the panda bear track and think 'ahhh, of course!' shite's shite

calling his daft punk patter an embarrassing obsession misses the point. seems to me he's pushing it as far as he can go, like matt dc said, the longer and more extreme he gets, the funnier it is. i doubt he lies awake at night legit fuming about it, it's just schtick

the longer and more extreme he gets, the funnier it is

I mean yeah, this is what he does

isn't pete paphides from 6music? working for that station you could understand how he assumed music fans are myopic.

touch is awesome btw!

i dunno, i just didn't find the repetition funny in this case, he has done plenty of far funnier things. plus as well as being schtick there's an actual opinion in there and opinions aren't funny.

I still think this is the best thing that's ever happened on twitter

http://www.cookdandbombd.co.uk/Brian_Limond_%28daftlimmy%29_TheLose1000.htm#TheLose1000

ive read a lot of great stuff by paphides in the past, i think he meant well with this but misfired badly. he hasn't actually responded to limmy has he?

ahahaha

xp

:DDDDDD

THEY WERE STUNNED AND SHOCKED YESTERDAY AND TODAY.

this is magnificent

this might be the best thing I've read

the Lose 1000 thing = best thing on twitter of all time, just phenomenal usage of the medium.

Nothing new, but had this on while I was cooking and the bit starting at 01:03:30 cheered me immensely

that's brilliant. his vines are incredible too. he's said how there won't be any more sketch shows as he might have making a sitcom, and i was gutted but some of his vines are totally up there with limmy's show. mindblowing how he just wanders around parks coming up with this stuff seemingly on the spot.
