Oh, I'm one of the biggest Limmy fans going though, I'm not just going off this. I have all of his show on DVD, his Twitter is one of the only ones I actually follow, I've tuned in to his webcam show... I've even going his 'Swearing Xylo' app on my phone
I love him also, I've watched his webcasts, follow him on twitter and watched all his shows, he is a bit bonkers, you can see I'm a big fan by my sig, super dog is piss funny.

You are a fucking cunt.

Loved the last ep, I think Brooker is a genius, I think his writing and his timing is pretty much perfect, he comes out with some great phrases and he makes some pretty intelligent points too.

I have lived outside of the UK for 6 years now and only watch the big shows that I can download, it is sooo comforting to know that This Morning hasn't changed at all.

Found Limmy amusing this episode.

Everytime he's on I say "PC Zone!" to my girlfriend...she thinks I'm mad and looks at me with sympathy. :-(

The Pac-Man game was fantastic.

Probably best episode of the run so far for me.

I will now only be able to refer to the leader of the Literal Democrats

as Nick Legg.

I'd rather go and see the Turing shroud than the other one.

I get a perverse thrill out of being told to go away at the end of a program.

@ecureuil That's the problem. I hate the 5-10 minute cunk section at the end as it's a poor effort and no substitute for Brooker.

I knew The Jump was going to be shit and Charlie Brooker has confirmed it. What the fuck kind of jump is that?!

Those cunk bits where she interviews someone. At first I thought maybe they haven't told the person she's interviewing that it's a pisstake, Ali-G style. But now I'm thinking they know and they've been told to pretend like it is real and answer seriously. Because she's so obviously taking the piss, but they never react in the same earnest, confused way that celebs on Ali G or Brass Eye did.

Answering seriously is earnest...?

I enjoyed the lack of Limmy last night, hope that continues.

As a big Stanhope fan I am a bit disappointed so far as he is mostly recycling old material to fit the requirements. Both the British violence and the Personal Extreme Drug-taking bits were far funnier in the original sets, and it feels a bit like he is just phoning it in. I guess he's banking on an unfamiliar audience though.

Not the best, last night. They seemed to get through far less material than usual.

I didn't miss Limmy but I did blink and miss Shitpeas.

Highlight: board game Pac Man.

Note when I say the cunk bit i don't mean the VT sections with barry shitpeas; I mean her excruciatingly awful Ali G style docu things at the end of the show.

I've only been watching the Limmy sections so far, but watched most of an episode last night. Thought the northern woman was mostly dreadful. Can't believe people are raving about her but slating Limmy.

Deleted user 31 January 2014 14:10:32

Barry Shit and Philomena Cunt can get to fuck. They're like a shit version of some Nathan Barley character.

I love Cunk and Shitpeas. Limmy is a bit mediocre. The Sunday Brunch man was amazing though. Spot on.

The Cunk woman is awful.

Yeah, Cunk is awful. Her whole section feels incredibly dated, it's been done before, better.
I love Limmy, but he is an acquired taste, so it's kind of inevitable.

I don't really get Limmy to be honest. I find it weird that someone would just watch his segments and not Brooker's, seeing as it's really his show.
