Limmy's Show

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

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

ENDS UP JUST GROGGIN BETWEEN THE ARSE CHEEKS N GETTIN A SPITTAL DEID ARSE CHEEK WANK AFF THIS CORPSE, FUCKIN HOWLIN.

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.

been making a list of the best few:

https://vine.co/v/hWeqA3aEVDA
https://vine.co/v/haEYEALiVD3
https://vine.co/v/hzmObaZ2Tv9
https://vine.co/v/hWWAExhjXVF
https://vine.co/v/hzlrUDZIdWW
https://vine.co/v/h7JEEPzZUDH
https://vine.co/v/hWQp75ueBqh

wish there was a way of downloading them all in a big batch as he has a bad habit of deleting all his tweets so im worried these might not be around much longer. also is there a way of searching vines by creator? having to scroll through his twitter feed to find them all, must be an easier way

good job! they are pretty magnificent to watch all like that

these pop up in my fb feed. "aye fuck off you" is killing me, howling here.

The easiest way to see all someone's videos is through the vine app. Limmy is by far the best user of this exciting new medium.

Jesus. I'd heard about how bad the new Daft Punk album is, but I never expected it to sound exactly like the music they use in the background on Teletext Holidays.

Those are terrifying

perfection

that made me lol so hard

few more winners:

https://vine.co/v/ha3i1XZpTaI
https://vine.co/v/hWmEpAELwEw

https://vine.co/v/hajTpKE6jpe
https://vine.co/v/hav6Xd2mdvl

far from a complete list, feel free to add your own. (is there any way of d/ling the vine app or a player/downloader on windows?)

a mate pointed out last night how you can hear his kid yelling in the background of some of these, while he's dicking about on his own making these horribly unsettling 10 second video loops. that and http://seenive.com/v/966063770055180288 suggest his kid is going to grow up to be the funniest darkest person on the planet

that KEVIN WEBSTER webcam bit above has kept me entertained for hours. if anyone else comes across more gems like that please post here!

The series of Vines where he spots the cider bottle in the park and then just loses his shit are SO FUNNY to me

the one where he's pushing his kid in the buggy, spots the bottle of frosty jack then walks away from it bellowing. that one's amazing. almost sounds like he's taking the piss out of his son as in the first clip you can hear his son chattering on going "blehh blehh" then the final scene is limmy running away yelling BLEEHHHH BLEHHHH

https://vine.co/v/h7vnzgumzDW

Finding Vine urls is a pain in the arse

is there a way to make vine not muted by default or do i have to click the unmute button every time?

Yeah how annoying is that?
