lot of unbelievably gullible folk out there.his account is a constant bam-up-merchant and never fails to get a bite.

hes got a wee vine narrative on the go now - painter and decorator descending into alcoholism - which has been superb.

yeah but he can clown people with conspiracy shit by using any of the idk 40% of conspiracy shit that isn't overtly antisemitic, see also

Is this anti-semitism?

I have a book on oddball conspiracy stuff -- they pretty much all went there eventually. Even the alien Bigfoot time castle stuff.

i've got about a thousand of his vines to catch up on. might put aside my entire afternoon for it (not looking forward to the bread ones)

x-post (see also: Jon Ronson's "Them.")

2nd lot of vines (301-600):

full 60min mindfuck (001-600):

probably the most intense undiluted limmy experience yet, up there with his world of glasgow podcasts

bit annoyed with myself for not going through the 2nd batch of vines individually, something about the relentless loop really elevates the rough lols (for certain clips). still great to see them run-on like this.

has he announced a broadcast date for the xmas special yet?

Special on BBC2 tonight.

Scotland only, unfortunately. Sarah Millican for the rest of us.

A BASTARD AE A BOY

that was kind of bad. I liked the Scottish song though

Loved Dee Dee's bit

And Mulvaney

the dee dee one was great, limmy in excelsis. rest a bit patchy but that's standard with limmy, worth it for the good stuff

Mr. Mulvaney kills me every single time. So, so funny.

thought that was p excellent as it goes. keen sourcing of old rave flyers on teenage Dee Dee's wall

I also found it bad and not funny, sadly. He's lost quite a lot of weight and looks better for it though.

Thought that was pretty much consistently good, which is rare.

I thought Christmas of Yesteryear was one of the funniest things he's ever done tbh.

this was pish bar Xmas of yesteryear and deedee in my opinion.he has lost a ton of weight,skinny bastart now.

Loved Dee Dee and Adidas 4 Stripe. Most of the rest was meh. He must be running out of ideas, "what would you do?" is a recycled Internet sketch from years ago.

nah, he often rejigs early ideas (as do many writers/comedians/creative types, right?), and the density of ideas in his vines suggests that he's still 'got it'. he was saying a few days ago how he'd love to remake the benjamin skits from his world of glasgow but no tv person would fund the creation something so vicious.

remember thinking 'hm bit weak' about the first ep of s1 and s3 but subsequent viewings shows on a par with the rest, all part of a piece. falconhoof was good in this and the mr mulvaney is A+.

think he struggles with a theme,the "live" episode he did also fell a bit flat.also when he gets sentimental it can be a bit cloying.

really curious as to what he's going to do next. fingers crossed for a weird limmy sitcom.

like, i guess, was an uplifting way to leave jacqueline mccafferty but not even trying to be funny.

well he's doing a sitcom pilot anyway

this was ok! weird when he started doing the what would you do? sketch at the end and repeating just about all of the elements of the original but really sped up and not funny

just been reading about the source of the bust-up with rob florence, on cookdnbombd. some mega childish shit here, from both sides, though mostly from rob: http://www.cookdandbombd.co.uk/forums/index.php/topic,29109.msg1556411.html#msg1556411

would love to know what happened on that subsequent webcam.

Scottish comedian Limmy is working on a comedy book.

The writer and actor, real name Brian Limond, first came to prominence via his online blogs and videos. He has since gone on to create three series of the award-winning BBC Scotland sketch format Limmy's Show! and recently contributed filmed inserts for Charlie Brooker's Weekly Wipe.

Limond is now working on Daft Wee Stories, which is being described by publishers as a "inventive and funny" book.

Daft Wee Stories will feature a mix of "stories, thoughts, musings and anecdotes" from the comedian. The publication will present readers with a mix of short and long stories, with "stupid ones next to thoughtful ones, some written in the first person, some in the third person, some with illustrations, and some the size of a tweet sitting in the centre of the page".

Jack Fogg from publishers Century says: "Limmy has one of the most original, thoughtful and brilliant comic minds I've encountered. He can flip from side-splittingly funny to genuinely profound in the space of a paragraph. I'm sure that with Daft Wee Stories we're seeing the start of what will become a very exciting and unique writing career."

Daft Wee Stories will be published in hardback in July 2015, and as a paperback in 2016.

Last month Brian Limond spoke to GQ Magazine about fighting depression

The below behind-the-scenes video from Limmy's Show! sees the star talking about Falconhoof, one of his popular characters:

At the time of writing, Daft Wee Stories is not yet available to pre-order.

Limmy's Show! is available on DVD

will read fuck out of that

Limmy's Millport sketch alone indicates that he might well suit a more serious oeuvre too

Promising young comedian Limmy has shown in his brief public appearances so far that his best work might extend beyond mere comedy

Yeah, I was gunna say, Limmy's appearances on Charlie Brooker's latest series exposed him to plenty of America

not read this yet but here's the gq piece mentioned: http://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/comment/articles/2014-05/19/limmy-comedian-fighting-depression

would love to hear american ilxors take on limmy btw

he's doing readings & signings for the book so going all-out to get him booked in for a manchester slot. he's loath to do any actual live sets after the 2 or 3 he did, but would be so great if this was a step toward that proper
