this latest sketch is so amazing:

That's great. "But at what cost?!" is a keeper.

that is pretty incredible

yeah i think it's a new level of quality. just so fucking weird and hilarious.

saw that and yes it’s amazing. would v happily see a series of this.

There's also this: https://www.patreon.com/Limmy

I've gone for the $10 behind scenes + bonus option, and it's way more money than he'd get from me in any other way. Really glad he's doing this. Likely because his sitcom ideas keep getting turned down by the BBC, Sky, etc.

That Armadillo sketch is a year or two old, he's not done many (any?) new sketches in a while. Probably saving his ideas for the Patreon stuff. I wish he'd ditch the computer game stuff and return to his webcam videos, some incredible stuff buried in those.

his posh-glaswegian-student videos are about as good as anything he's done

the final "but at what cost" is so good.

The last "but at what cost?" Is his Mr Mulvaney voice.

that video is a sort of compilation i think? all fine fare

Fuckin hooray! Another interview on Richard Herring's show.

Some folk are asking what's happening with Limmy's Homemade Show. It's almost finished, and it'll either be on Patreon or the BBC.

— Limmy (@DaftLimmy) September 30, 2017

I'd almost prefer Patreon as there's a chance of more stuff coming out. Hard to say that Limmy would benefit from a BBC editor as his stuff varies so much, one man's £5 note trick is another man's Yoker, high chance of obtuse gold getting culled. I'd rather have 6 hours of Patreon videos, with a 50/50 hit rate, than 3 hours on BBC with 80/20.

Or to put it another way, zero chance of his Vines making it to mainstream TV, and that's no good.

one-off special

but at whit cost?

Here we go: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09yj4rc

this is really something. it feels like a window into genuine mental illness and into thinking about your own mental state. i'm glad there aren't six episodes of this. it was very overwhelming/depressing.

the depressing element of it seemed greater than the comic element of it.

His best stuff yet I reckon.

Amazing how he was the only person in it, all filmed himself round his house and local park, but it felt so rich and layered. So much more intense than his sketch show stuff, largely because it was all him, not having to reign it in or dilute it at all, no (or v few) clunky punchlines. Credit to the BBC that they'd put out something like that, but minus credit that it's online-only.

I didn't find it depressing though, more like he's pushing things further than most, saying unsayable, etc. Your mileage etc etc though.

Loved it. Agree with how intense it felt, very well crafted.

it's all gonna kick aff again

Currently don't own a computer and live in Canada so fuck knows when I'll get to see this. Murder.

Xpost to NI : it was shown on tv, on BBC 1 Scotland. Just not UK-wide.

Also loved this, seems like it's surely cost effective enough for the BBC to pay for more. Didn't find it anymore depressing than Limmy's Show or the Vines though. The mental illness has always been there, like the Millport sketch is just brutal.

I watched it on youtube last night. A search there currently turns up the full episode (uploaded by Darren Rigby-O'Neill) for those without BBC access, though I guess it may get taken down before too long.

lool

this was incredible

with this, and still game, bbc scotland are putting out stuff that's funnier than anything else on iplayer

the depressing element of it seemed greater than the comic element of it.

With this and Limmy saying he was drifting away from the comedic approach, I wasn't expecting to laugh so much. This is as funny as he's ever been, I was laughing at this more than any comedy show since... maybe since Limmy's Show? I'm sad there's only one episode.

Did anyone else search for this on iplayer and find his Funny Valentines short video? That's good too. It's about a guy making a dating profile advert, who has no clue how fucked up he is.

yes

& i should have seid: whit with this and still game, bbc scotland have got tv comedy.. on loch

oh dear, oh dear

cheers for the link, krakow. got it watched last night, thought it was cracking, not sure it will be commissioned for a series as it seems a little darker and even more sui generis than his earlier tv stuff. limmy tweeted that he will make a series whether it is commissioned or not, id imagine he'll probably going down the patreon route if it isn't

wonderful. but imagine how wonderful if that bear had been there instead of the odd shoes

a second viewing of this confirmed that i was wildly wrong about this. it is excellent.

i absolutely love that sketch where the hard-man shouts to ask if his wife is in then starts filing his nails and bitching "Ivy, whit is she wearin'?"

"call yersel' a man? I says "man?' - wi that thing?"

exactly. I loved the minimal nature of this - everything pared down to a facial expression or tone of voice (radiator harpist) or repetition (ouija board)

The bit about how to tell the guy to pick up the litter was perfect.
