Amazing

Sorry to sound like Lloyd Cole up there, but do people really watch 4+ hours of Limmy looking at shit on the internet and talking about it?
― fetter, Wednesday, 4 January 2023 17:31 (one year ago) link
Haha, I don‘t get it, but my brother often does when he is working.
― Chewshabadoo, Wednesday, 4 January 2023 17:33 (one year ago) link
Shit on the internet so much, but I could watch him watching old UK variety and game shows for 420 hours.

* not so much
I can watch his stream for ages but it's an on-in-the-background sort of thing usually. There is a yt channel which compiles short (like 1-2 minutes or less) clips too.

I enjoy sticking on the old TV 'analysis' or some of the video games he plays for twenty minutes here and there, but there does seem to be a lot of people who hunker down for a focused four-hour stream, which yeah is behaviour that's very alien to me.

I pretty much watch any time it’s on if I’m not in the office, can’t get enough tbh

job wouldn't allow me to watch regularly anyway but likewise did get hooked on putting the 80s tv streams on while doing housework over xmas
― devvvine, Thursday, 5 January 2023 14:01 (one year ago) link
Yeah, I put it on in the background sometimes. Like NPR but y’know Limmy playing Rust instead of Here and Now.

Would love to see him work the best of his streaming raw material into proper sketches someday because I miss them.

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

Limmy's Show = "The Stone Roses"Handmade Show & books = Second ComingSocial 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!
― imago, Saturday, 7 January 2023 19:33 (one year ago) link
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.
― everything, Saturday, 7 January 2023 19:45 (one year ago) link
he was unhappy with the pressure of making TV shows, he's much happier doing this
― Camaraderie at Arms Length, Saturday, 7 January 2023 19:48 (one year ago) link
i love that he’s stretching the boundaries of comedy, so glad that he’s embracing streaming and new tech.
― Tracer Hand, Saturday, 7 January 2023 19:57 (one year ago) link
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?
― everything, Saturday, 7 January 2023 20:03 (one year ago) link
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.
― everything, Saturday, 7 January 2023 20:06 (one year ago) link
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
― Camaraderie at Arms Length, Saturday, 7 January 2023 20:07 (one year ago) link
(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
― Daniel_Rf, Saturday, 7 January 2023 20:54 (one year ago) link
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!
