Free speech warrior Andrew Doyle has a hissy fit and threatens a lolsuit [split topic]

[Thursday]

I love how whenever I see some "controversial tweet" from some dull centrist commentator, they're inevitably followed by Simon Hedges. It's a brilliant stamp of non-approval.

[king_tubby]

It's the gift that keeps on giving.

[Thursday]

Also his likes are things that Simon Hedges would like, meanwhile look at titania's likes, it's pathetic.

Of course the best example of this is dril's likes, a hidden gag that's been there all these years.

[idunnosomename]

That one like is the funniest thing about the account

[RicoMNKN]

Her follows are mostly middle aged right wing pundits and brexiteers.
Just like a woke millennial would do.

So lazy.

Doyles trying to make money by cosying up to the powerful, not be funny

(I don't *think* I my approval is because I agree with them...)

Fuck me, I got throat cramp from laughing so hard at that. I don't use Twitter so this whole thing had passed me by. Now I worry I'll have to start bothering. Although I imagine I can just follow all the TBEU accounts and be happy with that.

Any chance of a screenshot or description? Not visible without logging in, and I'm curious.

Titania has one like about IT (clown movie) 2 which is probably an accident.

All of Drils likes are the line "I got the poo on me" from various Joe Dirt movie script bots

[Barry Admin]

Okay thanks, appreciated.

Doyle might possibly be playing to his alt-right/4chan edgelord fanbase there, by referencing the "clown world" meme?

[Barry Admin]

He's having another wee cry, instigating another pile-on, and riling up his idiot fans again:



His account's not actually locked.

[Monsieur Verdoux]

Dave Anthony from the Dollop podcast? Weird feud

[Barry Admin]

He's deleted a load of tweets now, after one of his fans veeery gently pointed out that he's a thin-skinned, hyper-sensitive hypocrite. He posted a link to a blog where someone alleged the Dave Anthony guy was a homophobe. Oh and evidently he did lock his account, but can't have actually retreated to his safe space for more than a half hour, so I'm presuming it was more crybullying behaviour from this Gervais wannabe.



Again, as evidenced in the above, "no u" is the limit of this Oxford-educated pricks arguments.

IM TELLING ON YOU

CUZ YOU WENT TO LOO AT HALF PAST TWO

[ajsmith2]

Okay thanks, appreciated.

The full text of the tweet he liked was 'I watched IT 2 and it wasn't terrible. #IT2Review #InDepthCommentary #MoviesAndThat'. Seems far too obtuse to be a clown world reference: I'm thinking 'twas a slip of the thumb while forgetting what account he was logged into.

[Blue Jam]

Who is Sam Whyte and why has she blocked me?

EDIT: Oh right, it's one of these Twitter blockchain things isn't it? Probably because I'm following someone she doesn't like, or they're following me. Shame because it sounds like I'd be on her side. Twitter seems to fucking pointless these days.

[idunnosomename]

Twitter's gone so obtuse these days it's gone like usenet did but without the binaries.

You don't "research about XYZ", you "research XYZ". Adding "disinclined" at the beginning of the sentence doesn't negate this error, though my preference for politeness neatly disinclines me from studiously itemizing this actualization henceforth, therefore, and so on.

"I'm happy to delete if it turns out to be wrong".

Fucking hell that's a scary mindset.

If comedians aren't allowed to be offensive any more why are there about 5 identical threads in Comedy Chat on various right-wing, down-punching cunts?

I just discovered there was a Titania McGrath stage show last summer. One star review by Brian Fucking Logan in the Guardian, but the typical fucking woke liberal bends over backwards to try and find good things to say about it even so.

Someone should get Toby Young a graph of UK fossil fuel consumption over the last 100 years as well. It's not fucking millennials who burnt all the coal.

[idunnosomename]

Its also boomers who marketed all this plastic shit to millennials

[Ron Superior]

In case anyone want to see a clip of the live show:

It's even lamer than I assumed it'd be. And the audience! Laughing at the mere mention of every PC term. Fucking hell.

[Lisa Jesusandmarychain]

Millie Tant in " Viz" was many, many years ago; and Alexei Sayle saying " I'm an alternative comedian- which means I'm not funny" was nearly 40 years ago. That's a very easily pleased live audience.

[poodlefaker]

Yep, Rik in the Young Ones, Alan Parker Urban Warrior, Dave Spartt in PE, Bel Littlejohn in the Guardian...it's hardly new, is it?

Bloody Hell, yeah, Bel Mooney was 20 years ago, wunnit? Indeed, that whole Not The Nine O' Clock News " let's just lie here and have a good sneer" attitude is from 40 years ago. There's nothing remotely new about this hackneyed load of old bollocks; hearing the Pavlovmutt- like cackles of that audience on that video, and reading the almost uniformly arselicking comments on the comments below it ( " Andrew Doyle is a genius, and not a talentless cunt at all") has made for an entirely depressing morning. So, cheers for that.
