Genuinely think Limmy’s comedy was ahead of it’s time. The show stopped because of low ratings but this would’ve been a huge hit with a gen z audience today.
Did it? If you have read Limmys book it was more to do with he ran out of ideas, he didn't really even want to do a third series. Limmy is one of the most truthful guys out there, if it was stopped due to low ratings he would have said. Like how he said a few of his other ideas were rejected by TV companies
It also didn't air nationally? Which is an absolute disgrace. Limmy deserved a decent spot on the BBC in the way The Fast Show and Big Train did 20 years ago. If he was an English comedian he would have got a decent spot, xenophobia all over.
@@WalesGaming86 i also wonder if he didn't do as well outside the UK because his accent is harder for americans and non native speakers to understand. i usually pick up what limmy is saying, but my family genuinely can't figure out if he's speaking the same language. it sucks because you lose the comedic timing if you have to stop and think for too long, which isn't his fault i also have an auditory processing disorder and miss like 1/10th the sentences i hear in US accents. maybe my brain is just scottish?
There's so much to love about this. Personally, I enjoy the way he takes the complete piss out of the stock acting and story-lines of the Scottish soaps, and maybe one in particular.
I really love they way this is filmed and how the actors delivered, I goes form to a stupid skit to a drama and then back to a stupid skit If you took that third part under the bridge out of context you wouldn’t think it was from a comedy show
also so glad that at the end he doesn't run past Marti Pellow walking his dog or something that other wanker comedians would do. There is NO Marti Pellow. NONE.
@wearealltubes twas in a comment section quite like this one, couple of years back. I was just chatting away with some other tubers, just lads like you and me, and then this one commentor join the conversation - he's got a real good vibe to him, seems to have a good understanding of music, too. So we're blown away by his posts, till he tells us to check out his channel if we're interested. What do we see when we go there? It's Jon Bon Jovi, and he's livestreaming for a small audience, playing some sick tunes.
I think, to be fair, I would be hurt and probably more than just a bit angry if someone told me a story about Marti Pellow and it turned out not to be true.
I cracked up when I realized this was filmed at the Pewter Pot, used to go to the karaoke there on a Friday night! Just a short stroll to the Woodside Social for NPL where you could dance the night away to Felt and the Go-Betweens. Good times :-)
I've been watching this once every few days since I found it a month ago Something about that bench scene makes it so moving I'd love to know the name of the music piece when they're on that bench
apparently the song's name is => Martin Tillman & Tom Vedvik "Good Psychosis" I still can't find it on the internet, I tried on apple music with no luck
I’ve been a massive Marti Pellow fan since Wet Wet Wet’s first hit. This actually had me at the end as well. It took a while for the proverbial penny to drop Marti Wasn’t making a guest appearance. I laughed so much I nearly chocked myself out a sweet I was eating. 😂🤣
It's mad that Limmy drives trucks for a living now.
@Dinselt In case you didn't get the joke / reference, Limmy is big on Twitch these days and plays a lot of a truck driving simulator.
Daniel Black I don’t think he’s that big on twitch is he?
@@yeahyeahyeah-7674 Depends on your definition of big. He has 120k followers.
Daniel Black ah right
Well, let me tell yous a wee story. It's about a man who drove a truck, just like any other truck....
I can't get over how good Limmy is at impressions not of famous people but just of you know, types of people. We all know them
I can't get over how SHIT Limmy is, or how the leftist media have seduced people like you, and programmed you into thinking he's actually good.
Sonny the Snowball His show is odd, It’s meat to be odd. There is more than one type of comedy, you can enjoy them all in kind. Please calm down.
@@TheSeanoops I'm calm. And Limmy is still crap.
Sonny the Snowball “Diffrent strokes for different folks,” Dr. Phil.
@@sonnythesnowball thank god im not a leftie and i love limmy
The bench scene always makes me want a Limmy movie.
A Limmy movie with serious and comedic parts, that would be something else
Crawlspace Dweller Matt earth is flat
go away
I reckon he'll do something like that one day. "Limmy's Movie". It has a certain ring to it.
This is what you call a bench scene: czcams.com/video/lQPy8kfpsjo/video.html
best part is when the guy goes to join in with the applause
best part, the end.
or the slap at 4:18 haha
I think you're rang, the slap definitely takes it
Where's that? I missed that.
I thought the best bit is when he makes the door seeking noise himself...but maybe I was RAAAANG.
This...boys...voice...filled the ROOM
Filled. the. REM
Filled the. RÖÖM
I remember being in a bar, with a karaoke & the big man himself Benny Harvey smashed it - he was a belter! RIP Benny Harvey, gone but never forgotten rest easy big man
is... is this true?
i've always heard people say that about him. i'm really upset that i didn't get to hear his voice before he died =/
F
I heard him once do aha’s Manhattan skyline.. breath taking RIP big man
Is that true? What you said about Benny Harvey?
"Coming clean makes for some very dirty work"
Brilliant
Omair Sheikh DEE IT YERSEL, AS FOR ME? I’m outta here
@@jacobfarrell1120 *PUNCH*
That one sentence was somehow performed by robert carlyle, looking like limmy
RIP Benny Harvey
miss ya big man
GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN
@Jim Taylor good, then next Kill Jester
I think you mean, Benny Harvey RIP...
Aye. Brellwielnt feylah. Miss ye beg guy.
how does something like this come into existence
Picture it, it's 2010 in BBC Scotland headquarters, anything can happen.
Limmy’s loony likeness
A genius decides to create a sketch show
Because it’s good patter
Because Limmy.
Yer a bigger badda man than il ever be
favourite line
Cracks me up
I love the terrible Corrie style acting from 4 minutes
Its good acting all the way through though :)
The bench scene is pretty well acted. The BRIDGE SCENE, is something out of Corrie.
Naw Corrie doesn't have the depth and range of the Limmy show.
Hotpot, it has Hotpot.
@@incargeek the ginger guy was shite
Mate, Limmy would be the greatest chaotic evil villain in Soap history lmao

Soaps are the same all over the world … reminds me of the Pakistani soaps
@@scottishbanjothey use soap? Could’ve fooled me.
Limmy's actually a really good actor. A lot of potential to be had there.
He writes, directs, edits, acts, composes, everythn. A season of the homemade Limmy's Show is being released this year. Super excited
Omair Sheikh Yassss. Didn’t know about that super excited. Loved his first episode. His vines are also a work of genius.
@@88omair He had the potential and spent it all
All that talent wasted on driving trucks now.
@@FaridShahidinejad nah
First Limmy sketch I ever saw. I was blown away and he's been my hero ever since.
You're a good boy.
The first I saw was the feathers vs steel sketch
Mine was “ges yer laptop”
His comedy filled the room
Why is this actually really well done and moving
Yeah xd lmaflmaocopta
The whole thing feels SO cynical and satirical, but at the same time, just completely pointless and unnecessary. So glad that Limmy exists
"Comin' clean makes for some very dirty work...Do it yorsel..." gets me everytime hahaha
"Coming clean makes for some very dirty work" is such a good line
I really love they way this is filmed and how the actors delivered, I goes form to a stupid skit to a drama and then back to a stupid skit
If you took that third part under the bridge out of context you wouldn’t think it was from a comedy show
That's the brilliance of it, the attention to detail is unlike most sketch shows. The entire cast is fantastic
The fact he yells at the camera man to run ("go'on) at the end is so underrated
Didn’t even notice that 😂😂
That facial expression as soon as he sits down to start telling the story is incredible
Might be my favorite Limmy short, I love how it goes from genuinely emotional to stupid in a matter of seconds.
i like how it's not even raining, they just put the sound effect and umbrellas in
The running scene was impressive. Putting so much energy into running but not getting anywhere so the cameraman can keep up
Limmy is a seriously good & subtle actor. Would love to see him doing it more. It would be really great to see him play more serious roles too.
Marti Pellow tore the heart out of this community.
You just don't go and lie about Marty to all those people like that
This is actually PURE ART.
Apparently “Limmy” is played by Robert Carlyle
Foogafoog i’m crying
It actually weeerksss
also so glad that at the end he doesn't run past Marti Pellow walking his dog or something that other wanker comedians would do. There is NO Marti Pellow. NONE.
what about the real marti pellow? is he no marti pellow?
Blundering Tusk Marti Pellow is just a myth, a legend, a folklore figure. He does nae exist!
@@alanmalcheski8882 Marti Pellow was in Wet wet wet wasn't he?
I mean you say that but have I got a story for you...

"People need hopes, people need dreams....." I'm like....This is like a Batman movie speech lol.
All we need is Micheal Caine greetin.
You're a bigger badder man than I'll ever be
LMAO
cjm2005 my fave moment - give this man a film, a talk show, anything
Great line, well delivered. Hahaha
Limmy should be the dude who's behind it all in line of duty
3:12
IT'S SHUT
His delivery is really so fucking well observed it's frightening. oh yeah also Kirstin is gorgeous.
The lad lifting his hans to clap along gets me every time
Ran out the back door. Came out the front.
Story of my life, mate.
Submit it as a goof on IMDB
This is the greatest sketch ever .
the reaction of the karaoke people when he drops the bomb that it was marti pellow on the mic
:O :O :O "YER JOKIN!!!"
Part where he breaks character an tells the camera crew to run as well is fucking brilliant
'you're a good boy' 🤣
The absolute genius of this man’s comedy. It’s criminal that he never made it big. Way ahead of his time
He's next level. There are too many layers in a lot of his sketches for larger audiences that have a short attention span unfortunately
This one's for you Benny Harvey. Gone but never forgotten mate. RIP
If this show launched on CZcams it would have blown up
I love how the slap does literally nothing, just continues as normal 😂
The bit when he looks at the grave stone... We may aswell lay down and die with them.
Rip Benny Harvey

Class. A hint of the legendary John Sparkes in the delivery at the beginning when he starts the lie.
One of those sketches I have to rewatch because I can never remember how it ends
My hopes and dreams for a Limmy mystery theatre series are still alive
favorite sketch
Бенни Харви, царствие тебе небесное
Man, I always forget how great this show was.
“Dae it yersell”
For some reason when he says “.. the right karaoke”.. sublime.
I you liked this then try and find the one where Limmy pretends to be an angel in a white suit.
There's no way Marti Pellow hasn't heard about/ seen this by now.
He’s a great actor and writer and all round talented. I really hope he gets the fame and fortune he so truly deserves 🙏
I've been watching this once every few days since I found it a month ago
Something about that bench scene makes it so moving
I'd love to know the name of the music piece when they're on that bench
apparently the song's name is => Martin Tillman & Tom Vedvik "Good Psychosis"
I still can't find it on the internet, I tried on apple music with no luck
'Well! you are a bigger badder man than I'll ever be...."
Best part about the limey show is, someone let it air man this Screams internet show
"Coming clean is dirty work" Actually a good line, this
Holy fuck this is one of my favorite Lemmy's.
0:58 - Great De Niro impression. I had to look up who Marti Pellow is. What a captivating saga this was.
Absolutely brilliant
This felt like a feature length movie
when you dont have enough speech so you just gotta beat the shit out of the person to finish the quest.
Absolutely brilliant.
Cant believe I've only just discovered Limmy. Definitely great comedian.
damn, limmy is a great actor. could see him on hollyoaks one day
yeah that'd be why he's not on hollyoaks. cause it's shite.
@@khanzy. haha too true
he'd make a great android....he should give Ridley Scott a bell
Marti pellow is a great inspiration to me and junkies all across the world
This has been recommended to me for years, now I've finally watched it
this is so good holy sh*t i want a Limmy movie XD
think i might have seen marti pellow in witches of eastwick as a teen
god the expression and tone when he turns around at 5:15 he so deserved that smack
So good 😂 😂 praise limmy and his brain
3:13 Andrei Tarkovsky’s ‘Stalker’, 1979
An entire drama based around a pub story about Marti Pellow
This is brilliant.
So sad this show stopped.
Genuinely would've been so successful if it came out more recently.
I’ve been a massive Marti Pellow fan since Wet Wet Wet’s first hit. This actually had me at the end as well. It took a while for the proverbial penny to drop Marti Wasn’t making a guest appearance. I laughed so much I nearly chocked myself out a sweet I was eating. 😂🤣
You!........Are gonna hang for this!
😂😂
This sketch is peak surrealist comedy. Not for everyone, but had me in stitches!
Limmy's such a good actor
Drunk lassie at the end
Limmy is amazing!
Robert Carlyle, Trainspotting vibe about him in this one!
That slap…exquisite.
pure gold!
I always feel disturbed somewhere very deep when I watch Limmy; yet I still watch him.
omg looool I laughed out loud when he slapped him even though ive seen every episode of limmys show at least 5 times
The funniest part is prolyl that feeble run at the end where they obviously have no desire to catch him.
Limmy's face when he sneaks off the stage llf
your a good boi
0:08 How do you reckon he managed to rise up from the ground like that? Was it reversed?
James Wilkes I just noticed that! 😂 Must’ve been.
Rewinded over that a dozen times
I read every comment in a Scottish accent
Just watched this then turned on the Telky and Marti Pollow is on Sunday Brunch on C4 haha.
1:16 the guy in the green shirt is marti pellow
And that's why we love him. over and out
