Realize he has lots of unresolved challenges but anyway, he has wasted his talents.

Limmy's Show = "The Stone Roses"
Handmade Show & books = Second Coming
Social media stuff = The Seahorses
"Stream me playing Animal Crossing" = Ian Brown's anti-lockdown song

Idk, some of his social media stuff is arguably the pinnacle. Those Vines!

Imo he is best when working with straight actors which gives a reasonable context to his whole thing.

He had the promise of a young Steve Martin or Rowan Atkinson. Someone who is just naturally funny with unique body language to express it. He could be making movies by now instead of retreating into a corner.

he was unhappy with the pressure of making TV shows, he's much happier doing this

i love that he’s stretching the boundaries of comedy, so glad that he’s embracing streaming and new tech.

That is a very crowded field and he is a very minor participant. He is making a living perhaps but where's the evidence that he is happy?

As long as he's happy and making a living out of whatever he's doing then that's a good thing. I don't think we really need a Glaswegian Mr. Bean tbh.

His autobiography had barely a moment of happiness in it.

i mean, he says so, but if you watch the stream or just the clips channel you'll see how he's in a better place than a few years ago

(xp) That's just who he is. Let's just say as happy as can be expected.

I suppose there might've been a world where he could've gotten famous enough to make auteurist films, but really "he could be making movies" just makes me think of a scenario where he gets wasted in bit parts in Hollywood comedies, so I'll take the streams

He would probably agree with you. His book has a strong vien of a particularly Scottish fear of failure and ridicule. Keep your expectations limited and know your place!
