Yes, that's the nub of the issue, as it were,

You don't think, for example, Vic or Bob could get away with it? I do agree it's infantile but I also think many people here are disproportionately annoyed by it because they quite rightly, don't like RB.

Although I was going to say is that it's irrelevant to me who the person to have used it was, I would likely be harsher on people that I like and expected better of.

As previously mentioned, there was a vogue of doing bad imitations of Nadsat, such as in adverts; Brand was far alone in doing this. Basically, what people were just rhyming words together in a sing-song, childish way to a achieve a faint resemblance of Nadsat and one wholly superficial. It was lazy and rubbish.

One advert, which I don't remember much of but think it was one of the more visually striking ones, was someone dressed as Alex and greeting a threatening werewolf with 'Steady, teddy.' Pretty clever writing!

Also, one of my issues is that this was connected to other pillaging of popular culture to sell tat or be cool/cheeky, roughly around the same time.  There were some really blatant rip-offs such as one WKD advert that paid a 'homage' to How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. Because I'm a small-minded, petty individual, this irked me.... But that would have been nothing compared to if a comedian I liked used it for a sketch.

They could, but they wouldn't use it because it's not funny enough. It's like when someone talks about surrealism and introduces a fish somewhere incongruous. It's simplistic.

I can imagine him writing a book about the deaths of Jews in World War Two, called the Holy-Wally-Caust.  Actually, on his trajectory, he'd probably end up doing a David Irvine and denying it all

greeting a threatening werewolf with 'Steady, teddy.' Pretty clever writing!

To be fair that werewolf was Ted Rogers.

Weirdly I can't find the ad online at all, beyond a 1996 newspaper article about Ted.

It's infantile.

Well, what if a baby you really liked wrote it

[The Mollusk]

My Booky Wook is legitimately and almost objectively a shit title, no debate in my mind. Awful.

Although respect is due to the CaB poster who suggested that Peter Mayhew should have written an autobiography, just so he could call it My Wookiee Book.
