Limmy on Twitter and webcam [split topic]

[Better Midlands]

I listened to the audiobook and I'd say that's the way to go.

Limmy's voice is so strong in my mind I can't remember if I read the book or listened to the audiobook now I think about it.

I know this is an old clip but it was re-uploaded recently:

Can't really put my finger on why it makes me laugh so much, it isn't witty or clever, it's stupid but fuck me it's funny.

Not sure how something like this could work or be funny in a recorded sketch show.

Yeah I love this as well. The desperation on his face is so good.

Does anyone have the archive of Limmy's "Lose1000" from a decade ago?

It's brilliant, I've watched it so many times. It's incredible how well he gets across his changing emotions in such a short space of time. He goes from joking, to angry, to scared. to tired and back to normal all in the space of about ten seconds.

He gammoned himself the other night. I don't think I've ever been more concerned for a man's blood pressure.

It's kind of mental how this thread's been running for a decade now and has still to make it to 100 pages.

[Cuellar]

He needs to pivot to transphobia, the threads will really fly then.

[MoreauVasz]

He just needs a few more bangers like 'holding his breath on camera'.

What do you even like?

The whole bit was highly amusing. Grumpy.

[ProvanFan]

I used to do that as a child, and sometimes I was sad, and at night my room was dark, so it's clear he's depressed.

I have gammoned my avatar in a show of support for Limmy.

[Cold Meat Platter]

Awful the poor man has had to debase himself like that.
Properly concerned for his mental wellbeing.

I've also been trying to find the Vine clip with with the sock puppet ('You want me to kill 'em all?'), but to no avail.

If anyone has a link to that, it'd be much appreciated!

[Utter Shit]

On a similar note, if anyone knows where I can find the incredibly short clip of him in the passenger seat of a car in GTA5 in first-person mode, seeing someone on the street bury an axe in someone's head and shouting "He's got an axe! DRIVE!" I'd love to see it again - it was on his Youtube account but I think he must have deleted it cos I can't find it anywhere. It's brilliant.

[Retinend]

Are these all bona fide gammon Question Time people or something?

His 2021 revisit or circa 2013? I'm going through these GTAV playthroughs currently, because I just got into this game in a big way. Will tell you if I see it.

You've seriously never seen that before? They were all on a Question Time special prior to the 2017 election. They're infamous for asking Jeremy Corbyn dumb questions about whether he'd nuke North Korea and so on, while they just asked Theresa May why she was so great over and over.

Feels like a million years ago now.

[Retinend]

I was out of the country at the time so thanks for the context. This was the genesis of "gammon"?

[imitationleather]

I think it's the first time I heard it.

[kalowski]

I remember it like it was yesterday.
"Mr Corbyn, I can press the red button on my remote control. Will you press the red button? The nuclear button?"

Agree. Like Limmy a lot but this was hard to watch.

I really don't like when he repeats/imitates peoples phrases and mannerisms.

I think it's the first time I heard it.

It's actually been recorded as an insult as early as the 1600s, but Dickens first used it with a political/nationalistic angle in Nicholas Nickleby in 1838;

The time had been, when this burst of enthusiasm would have been cheered to the very echo; but now, the deputation received it with chilling coldness. The general impression seemed to be, that as an explanation of Mr. Gregsbury's political conduct, it did not enter quite enough into detail; and one gentleman in the rear did not scruple to remark aloud, that, for his purpose, it savoured rather too much of a 'gammon' tendency.

The meaning of that term—gammon,' said Mr. Gregsbury, 'is unknown to me. If it means that I grow a little too fervid, or perhaps even hyperbolical, in extolling my native land, I admit the full justice of the remark. I am proud of this free and happy country. My form dilates, my eye glistens, my breast heaves, my heart swells, my bosom burns, when I call to mind her greatness and her glory.

[Carpool Dragon]

I thought his reaction to the review was just bemusement. That "intelligence of a certain kind" line deserved a far stronger reaction tbh. I did laugh at "his partner, a long-suffering woman called Lynn".

Top middle looks like a cross between Chris Moyles & Stephen Graham.
