Limmy's Show

I'm quite enjoying it so far. Pissed myself at "now he gets it".

The cast from the last two years is immensely better than the pish had in the first series. The slightly older guy is excellent at the deadpan stuff. His reaction the "cock out" suggestion was absolutely superb :lol:

I also laughed like f**k at the bit where he found the wee door on the ground for some reason.

I liked that the most. Saw it coming a mile off but was strangely satisfied when he did it.

I know the "what's your 'hing" guy in the cinema.

I wasn't a big fan of Limmy's Show but I'm getting into it a bit more. It's really hot and cold. Some sketches are class but other ones are heavy shite.

Would agree about the cast. The older guy's facial expressions and deadpan stuff is superb. His face in he sketch last week where he was drawing on the napkin was superb. The younger guy and the woman are also pretty natural. The last cast were a bit too comedy actors pulling daft faces for my liking.

The other thing that gets over looked is how good a comedy actor Limmy himself is. His timing and facial expressions are superb. The bit where he was in the chemist asking for two packets of paracetamol and laughing nervously was magnificent

Totally agree, the older guy in particular is excellent. I think a lot of the ok sketches from the first series would have been really good with this cast. The one where they find out Limmy's bird is an old man comes to mind.

I was worried the series would be pish after the first episode, but that one was brilliant. Probably the most consistent episode he's done, I laughed at pretty much all of it. I was talking to a mate in the pub and laughing at all the sketches, we both loved party chat, "whits your thing", Raymond Day, the sketch with the old guy saying "you've played right into his hands there" and the wee door on the ground one.

There was another sketch I remember pissing myself at, but I couldn't remember what it was:

Thanks PnB. :lol:

I just don't get it. His comedy is massively derivative and what isn't can only be called comedy in loose terms. He is also extremely annoying, imo.

Fair play, he's making money out of it, but I just don't understand how this was commissioned for one series let alone others.

Probably because a lot of people like it and find it funny.

Well he got a reaction out of you, you've got to give him that. You gave him exactly what he wanted, you played right into his hands

It's the fact that people find it funny that I find most confusing. Granted the only people I know who like it are on this board, but that said it has to appeal to a certain demographic.

Not really, I see him I switch off, that's not playing into the hands of anyone other than the other channel I switch to.

I'm not slating Limmy here, btw, if people find him funny they find him funny, I just can't see why.
