I love how he goes from supporting him to going on about how he'd fuck him up if he bumped into him like that hahahahaha
He's walking the wrong way down a.....you know the rest.
Pretty sure that road’s got two lanes

Verve’s faither wid be proud
This is the Limmy content i'm here for
anything with bobby too!
Same 😊
My dad hated this video because he thought that it was rude. Would love to see my father and Limmy discuss this nearly 3 decade old video.
This video is actually 26 years old so nearly 3 decade
Rude?
@@edmunddonnelly3881 people used to respect each other, in my day you would've been knocked clean out walking down the street like that

Limmy is world class at noticing stuff 99% of folk would never notice. I bloody love it.
Naw mate yer just no paying attention
What specifically are you referring to in this video?
Mmmmmm danone
Dying at "Somebody will get them."
I actually find that kind of inspiring.
Only just now realizing, after all this time liking this song, I've never watched more than the first few seconds of this video.
Hear hear.
Entitled people walking three abreast yapping expecting everyone else to part like the Red Sea.
Absolutely relatable. What is the worst, is when the kind of people who you are talking about will expect another group to walk in a single-person line when passing them, but they will refuse to do the same; if you barge into them because there is no room they will act offended, as if you should just walk off of the pavement completely.
I'm sure that's a trolley bag, not a pram.
If the mother could hear you call her baby a loaf of broad... mercy on your soul, lad
Basically as a wheelchair user this video perfectly describes my experience going through town lol
Broke my foot and two seperate people bashed right into me, rather than pause their conversations for 2 seconds... agony for me, and I really couldn't easily move out their way!
@@liz6367 yeah it really sucks, alot of people are not self aware nor do they care x
Get sum fuckin spikes on those wheels theyll soon move out the way.
ripple
Is nobody gonna mention this man is half giraffe half human?
I'd never seen Limmy before today, so I thought this was going to be a Wings of Pegasus style analysis video. Not even half-way through, I literally had tears streaming down my face. Thank you Limmy! Instant fan!
4:58 - Limmy somehow manages to rewind the video he's watching... and rewind this video at the same time
Hmm
I'm a 6ft2 wall of a bloke. People never get out of my way. So pretty much as soon as I was old enough to hit the 6ft mark, and I realised that this was going to be a trend, I figured out a specific tactic:
Stop. Immediately stop. When someone's about to keep walking and barge into you, come to a complete halt. Either they notice, and stop, and you end up with this gloriously awkward moment where they're really, painfully conscious of you looking right at them...
...or they walk into you. And because you weren't moving at the time, it was a clear-cut case of them walking into you, and you can proclaim "It's over, Anakin. I have the high ground."
I'm stealing that, can't believe I didnt think of this strategy before
6’2” is pathetically short.
6ft2 might as well be 5ft9 mate
@@Rosecain27 Less than 3% of men are taller.
Here’s something that works: stare into the horizon and walk with a mission. People will part like the Red Sea.
that lad needs a decent meal and some sunshine
So does everybody in the UK!
Just needs a good holiday
"five guys out for a drink who work at the same place but you can tell they're not pals pals." is such an incredible statement about my favorite band as a kid. i think that really sums up their struggles to stay together and the tension in their music.
Walking down Oxford Street a few years ago, and got shoulder shunted by Claude from the Apprentice. Strong lad.
Shame about the heart attack. Would probably knock him to the ground now.
He's a creep you should have whacked him.
Do this for as many music videos as possible. Quality.
4:34 Been dreaming of her for over a quarter of a century.
Huge Verve fan. Fun fact for you Brian, in the original sketch Ashcroft wanted to have his character battered at the end. However it was ruled as being too dark so decided that he would meet up with the band instead. Also at the end of the video it leads into the Drugs don't work video as he approaches a vending machine. "Imagine the future I woke up with a scream I was buying some feelings from a vending machine"
Isn't there a version where that battering does happen at the end? I've definitely seen it
@@SongBillong You may well be right. I have never seen it and perhaps it was leaked video if there was. I remember seeing an unofficial behind the scenes VHS documentary that detailed still drawings of the proposal. I actually got the tape copied onto a Dvd. I should dig it out and upload it onto here. No doubt someone would want it pulled down though.
Isn't "buying some feelings from a vending machine" from Life's an Ocean?
That's the ending I always wanted from when I first saw it as a kid.
@@ouroldhouse3674 such a superior album my god
This video is genius because it perfectly captures my mood when I'm walking down the street and listening to music on my headphones and a belter of a tune comes up on the playlist.
So it’s genius cause of that??? Low iq comment or what mate, goan look up genius you absolute 🌵
Hahaha fucking unreal, no better feeling when an absolute belter comes on and you start feeling like a big bastard
I’m crying with laughter! Tears streaming down my face. “Go, get ‘em!…Put the fag out in his fucking eyes!” My sister told me Limmy was funny, but its taken me this long to finally watch one.
Pro tip: if you see Limmy walking towards you on the pavement get the fuck out of the way
Bittersweet Blahemphony
This is just Edinburgh during The Fringe.
Didnt know I needed this content. Superb
Wrong way down a one-way street.
🤣
the amount of analysis Limmy puts into something like this... Like the art analysis plus looking at the directorial choices... checking to see if the girl has her keys, lookin at the band's body language... really brings a blahem to my eye
I'll take you down the only one way street I've ever been down
It wasn't a pram it was an old-woman style shopping trolley
Oh its alright then
@@Aisatsana1971 yeah old people are moany old gits. Stuff like this happening adds fuel to their whinge-fire and makes them strong.
Seas of pedestrians walking towards me part like the Red Sea. The trick? Well timed coughing.
Great analyses Gary.
If Ed Sheeran did this he'd apologise to everyone afterwards. It wouldn't occur to him to launch that baby out of the pram. Rock is dead.
ah yes, ed sheeran the huge rock artist
@@TheOriginalZzYT he is performing with a “metal artist” … i wont say “black metal”
Look for the alt version were he gets the shit kicked out of him!
To be honest, I've definitely considered walking across the hood of cars when people just pull up onto the crosswalk like that. Well deserved
i nearly got punched in the face in glasgow for walking down the street.
Yikes
thatll teach ye to walk down the street
High level analysis as usual! 👍
Finally someone's said it. It's like he's reading my mind
I was randomly thinking about this song today. Me and Limmy are in sync lol
Limmy should do a remake of this as Dee Dee with The Proclaimers 500 Miles but he's apologising to anyone he bumps into
Some boy... A well thought out route and plan to catch him in the crosshairs of his drive by groggerin. 🤣
At a train station in London I once saw this big bloke in an expensive looking suit bump into this small bookish looking woman and almost knock her over. He said "Move for fuck sake." then went back to talking on his phone. He acted like she was SO beneath him. I could feel my pulse thumping everywhere. I'd never gone from totally calm to raging so quickly. I timed it perfectly so that he was next to a wall when I smashed my shoulder into his and started shouting "MOVE! MOVE! MOVE! MOVE!" hahaha. He was like "WHO ARE YOU!???" I wish I would have said "I'm batman baby!"
Alright Tom Petty calm down
Cool story bro
@@Stovethepirate haha I don't know why this cracked me up so bad.
*sees mildy attractive girl at the train station* "hmm, I don't have the confidence to just speak to her... Maybe if I fought off a villain for her, then she'd have no choice but to speak to me" 😏.
*Woman gets on train and leaves*
"Hmm.. guess I could head home and write a CZcams comment."
@@YourPalHDee My comment effected you so much that you replied, sat there stewing and then edited it and wrote a brand new comment. Mate, I’m married I’m not trying to impress anyone, the girl didn’t even see me do this. Also people have physical confrontations every day. The average person probably has about 20 fights in their life. I don’t get what’s so unbelievable about pushing someone 😂. Like, do you think people only get pushed in the movies or something? Where were you brought up that you never witnessed a real life push hahaha. It sounds lovely.
Pissing myself laughing here big man 😂😂
thank you
0:03 vs 1:46 and generally everything had me screaming laughing for several minutes this is gonna be a big one i can feel it 😂
2:55 completely unhinged
Quality. ♥
I love how hard Limmy goes.
So sick of people who walk *at* you with the presumption that *you* should move out of their way. I think Richard Ashcroft taught us all a lesson here - *fuck* them. Don't move out of their way. Straight through, let them deal with the results of their own bad decisions. And manners!
It's 5am in Edinburgh and I'm shaking the bed laughing while trying not to wake up my wife.
Nice to know we’ve got some English viewers
@@R.Mac_ lmfao class
I was cackling at this in the shower this morning. Was super tired so it really tickled me
I remember myself at the age of 6 walking in the street like that after seeing this video. It must have looked very daft... but I was just haunted by this song
The guy deciding whether to fold his arms or not is typical of musicians. They're a shy breed dedicated to their art. That's why the front-man is almost never a musician by vocation, he's always a performer who soaks up the attention, so that the musicians can do their thing in the back. You need a cool, confident guy like Richard Ashcroft to "lead" the band (at least on stage).
True, most musicians are kinda nerdy kids, then when their band is popular some stylist throws decent threads on em and they fuck supermodels way out of their league, but they remain dorks at heart. Aw god bless em.
Prince being the exception to the rule
@@LimmyTwitchClipsPlus Prince was a performer and a multi-talented musician.
@mr.coolmug3181 yeh that's why I said he was exception to your rule
That’s Simon Jones, thoroughly lovely bloke!
So good.
Stating the obvious here but every single person he walked into expected him to get out of their way. Because he didn’t he’s the piece of shit. Brilliant video
I assume this is satire? They are actors?
The only one who didn’t was in the limo. That’s the only time he stopped.
The Millport Story 😆
Sometimes you just gotta hold your ground and stamp your right to take up some fookin space and own it "I got as much right as you coont!"
Brilliant
brilliant
LOL the 'windae bit' 😂
Looks like a typical day walking down sauchiehall street
I remember this music video as a man walking down the street being ignored, I never noticed anything unusual about his behaviour. This is the first time I've seen it since I was a kid.
Banger tbf
From my home town this band
Quality commentary.
I always imagined shoulder barging someone in Glasgow would be a death sentence. Or at least the start of a sectarian riot of some sort.
if shrek and the honey monster had a baby they would still be more charismatic and make better music
Just at the weekend mate.
Once got knocked by this by Pete Burns of all people, 7ft tall in boots in Camden
The sound of the summer
There is a Alternate Version where he gets beaten up around 5:27 Pretty sure its on youtube.
The two bouncer guys who laugh at him are my favourites, they see right through his insecurites. I feel sorry for his mate at the end who is incredibly self conscious about having to walk down the street next to Richard Ashcroft as he knows that he will be the one to get punched.... again. You can see him considering whether to confront Ashcroft about it when he folds and unfolds his arms, but as always its just a passing thought, which may or may not come out in a future alchohol and amphetamines ramble.
You do realise that all the people in the video are actors and he was only doing this as part of the music video
I sometimes think about watching this, but then I just watch the Vindaloo video instead.
GET IM !
Limmy's such a chilled out pacifist.
The worst thing is when you try and move out the way and you’re wearing a backpack and you just swing into them with it
fascinating pronunciation of jacket at the end there
draws the line at pram, he's got a good heart has old Limmy
It was a shopping trolley old people use 🙄
I mean, the whole “I can chaaange , I can chaange” while being a massive prick is kinda brilliant
“I bet that jacket’s fucking stinking, man.” 😂
😂😂😂 subscribed 👍🏴👊
2:56 YAAAAAS! GET THAT PRRRRRRRRRIIIICK!!!!!!!!!
Limmy should recreate this doon sauchiehall st at 3pm on a Saturday
Grog on his dish 😂 yas man
This is the greatest analysis of a video ive ever seen.
So busy reminiscing in his own violent behaviour that he completely misses that woman casually land a shoulder.
"Greener, right oan his dish" very articulate Limmy, that was fucking class
This should be a regular thing
Brilliant! 😂🤣💀
4:59 Both.
Limmy’s got a wee hulk hogan growin on the top lip there
That was a shopping trolley/ buggy that the Ole dears put their bags in
those shoulder pads XD
Limmy's VAR analysis of this video is fucking killing me.
10:56 😩😩😩😩😩 that observation is so astute, so true
They look like Oasis doing a photoshoot
peak limmy that he would get fixated on the guy being rude 😂
Maybe he just found out Jagger & Richards are gonna be takin all this song's royalties for the next 25 years.
5:03 - Yes
That wasn't a pram it was just an auld Biddy's shoppin'😂it's cool 😎
Limmy : " i like this video"
whole video is nothing but him picking it apart and insulting the singer, amazing.
I read somewhere a few years back that the original idea was for the whole band to be walking down the street. Limmy would’ve lost it!
9:02 - I thought this back then, I think it now. Ashcroft just looks like he's slept at the Biffa depot
