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

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.

Love it when he kicks out the handyman and starts saying crazy shit like "I'm legally entitled to stab you"
"A big fat hen!" is probably the winner though.

I went and looked and he seems genuinely concerned about the fire, people in the area, and whatever institutional malpractice could let it happen again. I don't see why one would take it as a joke (nor make one)

Bit of both going on tbh. Gallows humour is a Glaswegian speciality after all.

Been listening to the That's Your Lot audiobook lately and it's a LOT better than DWS, although that wasn't bad by any means. He seems to have nailed the craft of story-telling a lot better, less of the ta-da! punchlines or over-extended endings of DWS. Plus the final Benidorm story is fantastic - a total throwback to his World Of Glasgow podcasts but with all the skills he's learned and honed in the years since. Few duffs in there, particularly in the final third, but overall a lot better than I expected.
Two stories really stuck with me, for totally different reasons. New Life is this brilliantly understated, non-grim, non-shock, genuinely moving short story, which ends in the exact right place for ultimate spine-tingling effect. Getting a shudder thinking about it now, in a perfect world, where Limmy got his own series of Black Mirror, this would be his San Junipero.
And Moustache, which is classic dark Limmy, but it's a tone I've never come across anywhere, no other comedian, no writer. Totally unique, and again, stuck with me long after reading, but for nastier laugh-out-loud reasons.

so limmy twitch streams regularly now. some of him playing games but also regular storytelling streams. stories are generally available on his youtube

Would very much like him to do some more TV with other actors etc. That was the best stuff he's done.

I once found myself watching him play GTA for a couple of hours, it was entertaining but I promised to myself to never do that again

I ridicule youtubers playing Minecraft etc so I can't imagine the hell my children would put me through if they caught me watching Limmy doing the same thing.
― everything, Friday, 1 February 2019 22:42 (five years ago) link
i watched him play a truck driving simulator for 2 hours one day
― ( ͡☉ ͜ʖ ͡☉) (jim in vancouver), Friday, 1 February 2019 22:58 (five years ago) link
loved him playing that
― nxd, Saturday, 2 February 2019 00:10 (five years ago) link
I watched him do the 350 dabs in a row thing the other day after idly clicking the link on twitter. I have little idea what twitch is or how it tends to work/be used and missed the set-up of why he was excessively dabbing in the bushes in the park in the snow, which all added to the watching experience in the end.

It was a reward he posted that he would do if he got 3500 subscribers

he's fair cranking out the content right now.
doing his improvisational storytelling streams every day or two, ranging in time from 10 minutes to half an hour.
recent ones that have had me creasing

he did a long stream where he read some selections from the autobiography

also revealing some elements not touched on in his online presence before

I went from doing wee daft animations to being an invaluable member of a team of 30 people. I’d only started at the company a few months previously as a wee ned from Carnwadric – that’s how I felt.
I was one of those 30 people btw.

Turns out that Limmy was asked to star in Bandersnatch as the more experienced developer who leapt off the balcony after taking acid. But he turned it down as it clashed with the Bristol tour date.
Crazy that he turned it down - Black Mirror is a worldwide phenomenon and could have exposed him to a massive new audience and new acting roles. I mean, massive respect for not letting down his Bristol fans but he could have rescheduled that date, surely?
― NI, Monday, 25 March 2019 18:48 (five years ago) link
that's wild.
although i would say that he's never going to become a worldwide draw due to his accent and he probably wouldn't fancy a big acting career as he's a huge homebody
― ( ͡☉ ͜ʖ ͡☉) (jim in vancouver), Monday, 25 March 2019 19:06 (five years ago) link
Both true yeah, but it'd be a big boost to his career either way. He is fansfirst4eva though but man, I'd have moved heaven and earth to do that role, it's the most 'him' tv character probably ever
