@@henry7696 was gonna say, there are some people you just can't get back on top with. if you have a run of being awkward with some people, it's over mate. just pack it up and find a new life.
That few milliseconds before everyone laughs at his second joke makes all the difference. It almost looks like it's not gonna land, and then it does. Pure comic timing, that
You have to double down in situations like this. You have to feel when a joke doesn't land, when it crashes. But when it does you make sure it grinds across the landing strip for as long as possible before going up in flames.
I recommend repeating the bad joke over and over in an increasingly shrill manner until everyone who heard it walks away and/or blocks it from their memory entirely.
@@Psybo a Scottish genius maybe. It's called bias. He's the only thing hof decent to come oota Scotland therefore we all (well, not me, obviously) hold him in some sorti high regard. Compared to almost anywhere else he's just an average quirky comedian. Dimeadozen.
@@JHanrahanlmao calm down wee lad. They're surrealist sketches stitched together that the vast vast majority of only work for Scottish folk. Even then, as evidenced by me, they don't even work all the time in that circumstance either. He has a cult following. And naturally, everybody in that following thinks they've spotted something absolutely amazing that the rest of the world missed out on because they're just too uncultured and dumb to see it for the "genius masterpiece" it really is 😅 that's the definition of cult following. Should change the name to cunt following for the amount of them that make up cunt fanbases. Just cos you like something with a wee following doesn't mean you're a perceptive comedy genius that has found something only smart folk can see. Or "out of the box thinkers" 😅😅 cccccccuh-ringeeeeeee
“...he must be the clumsiest guy in the world. He wasn't even drunk. We were all sitting around in the beer garden, lying in the grass, and he comes out with a tray full of drinks, right, goes to put them down, tips up the tray, and the drinks go everywhere! Raining everywhere! Seven pints of lager and pear cider everywhere!” “Seriously, he wasn't even being clumsy he was just trying to fertilise the, the grass.” “What?” “Seriously, he wasn't even being clumsy he was just trying to fertilise the grass. With the drinks. Like he's got into gardening or something without, without telling anybody.” “Aye. Eh, anyway. So everybody's totally...” “Soaked!” “...soaked. And then this wee argument breaks out, right, and we were like, well everybody, and we're just like “well who's going to buy these? Who's going to replace the drinks?” “And who's going to replace the clothes!” “Exactly, I had brand new junk on and everything.” “Julie was going, Julie was mental.” “Julie, Julie was, well what a cracking sense of humour, right 'cause she's got it worse there, she's totally soaked...” --- “I can't take him anywhere with me. Just so clumsy!” “That reminds me, did I tell you about Paul at the beer garden the other day? Oof, right. We were all at the beer garden, lying on the grass right and he goes away to get drinks. Comes out with the drinks on a tray, goes to put them down, tips them up, drinks go on everybody and everybody is covered in 20 quids worth of drink. Unbelievable.” “James, imagine you were there - you'd be sucking it out your clothes like an ice pole wouldn't you? You'd squeeze it out of your clothes into a pint glass. (drowned out by laughter).” “That's exactly what he'd be like.” “Back on top.”
I love the small subtle details like Limmy's expression of concern when he hears he's telling the story again at 2:08... and then his sigh of relief when they laugh at his joke at 2:30.
Ah, I think most of us have been "there". Again, Limmy throws a lens on awkward situations in his own inimitable style. I may need a little time to think things ovou.
The best thing for me about watching Limmy is how much my girlfriend doesn't get it and just gets all stressed out about me watching for some weird reason. Pure genius, fan for life here 😁
Ooof that's happened to me before. Tell a joke with bad timing so that no one hears it/ignores it, then some smart arse that heard you says the joke again and everyone laughs.
I had a friend who would do this in school. I used to get proper pissed off by it and mentioned it to the others but they never realised it. One time he did it not 5 seconds after the joke was made and I looked at the others and it all clicked. Cheers for listening to my life story.
When you watch this for the first time and you’re wondering where it’s going, then he breaks into the first “gotta take a little time” is fucking amazing.
I love this skit so much. It has left a mark on me. Now when I have a tough time in life and finally get through it I think to myself, "back on top", and have a little smile.
I love coming back to different Limmy skits. The first time I watched this, I was about mid way through the first time I had ever watched them, and I didn't understand most of what was being said. I got the premise of the joke, so I moved on. Now I can understand everything and it's bliss.
Its incredible there was a good ending to this, make you see that even when its hard there might actually be hope ... It might be like a joke to some but Limmy really showed a lesson in life here, he could've give it a bad ending but decided to make people feel happy instead. Thanks Limmy!
I'm one of the biggest record executives in the world and I have to say, this is the best song I've ever heard in my life. As soon as I heard it I said "STAR". Limmy has to be the greatest musical genius the universe has ever known.
This song came on in Gregg’s the other day when I was buying a bacon roll. Immediately thought of this sketch while she was asking what sauce I wanted.
I always does this.. But by bein greedy for the laughs i try and add on to the first vit of succesful patter that just landed for me. God.. Its always rough
After crap patter, In order to rid myself of future anxiety I simply look at people in the eye and say "Aye, A took that too far." That usually lightens the mood
Sadly some times if you miss joke it hit you hard and make you stfup in company for many years if not the whole life even if people forget it quickly but you never forget that
Good news, this band called foreigner did a cover and made it into a full song. They took some liberties with the lyrics though and decided to make it about love instead of jokes that don't land
Aye it's like he's not even trying to make a joke, he's just feeding the plants his carbon dioxide, like he has a garden and didn't tell anybody or something
