Limmy is amused by Sam from Cheers and remembers his interview with Tim Heidecker [2021-07-06]

[@terenceflynn5125]

I don’t have any comprehension of how English or American people can complain of not understanding someone with a Scottish accent. I have never misunderstood a word and I’m from Bournemouth. As southern as a fairy can be.

[@tesko_1]

same. the english understand scottish accents. I was raised on rab c nesbit, trainspotting and then read all then all the irivne welsh novels. it's not a ploblem.

[@TheLaHabanaShow]

Same here, from Bristol.

[@signoguns8501]

I dont think english have much trouble, do they? There were quite a few popular Scottish TV shows and films when i grew up, so we all knew it. Not to mention Irvine Welsh, probably the biggest british writer of the modern era

[@Gubalicious]

Limmy's relaxed voice instantly transforms him into a PE teacher.

[@itsgeegra]

Tim is so legitimately chuffed at the quality of the camera and it's delightful

[@LettersAndNumbers300]

7:35

[@SassyFontaine]

We can all relate to Limmy seeing himself on screen and being traumatized.

Frasier is on another level

[@myphonroboshoes2091]

I just want to say i absolutely love your titles

[@Eradicus]

This is why Limmy kept getting recommended to me, I love Heidecker's stuff particularly On Cinema. This crossover must be the reason...surely..?

[@MrFooFighter13]

They're both 6 baggers for me.

I wojuld love to see you two work together that would be hilarious!

[@eliwood9906]

So weird not seeing Tim in the on cinema characters

[@bonkerzisgood]

Tim swinging dicked him down but Limmy came off more humble and scared

[@Meladjusted]

I didn't like that interview, but it was because of Tim's weird attitude towards it. It was like he wasn't interested or something. It was off and not because of anything Limmy did.

[@lugie69]

It's weird how bitter and unfunny Tim seems now. His podcast Office Hours barely seems like a vehicle for comedy, all the comedy comes from the shitty sample drops that the two other guys throw in incessantly. He's brought a lot of talented and funny people on that show, including Limmy, and the atmosphere and energy that Tim and his show creates seems to try and counteract any attempt at them being funny and also seems to counteract any attempt at them having a thoughtful conversation. Not sure what the point of the show is if it does none of those things and is mainly just an excuse for Tim to be loud and brash, desperately thrashing in the water to let the world know he still exists.

[@MrFooFighter13]

@@lugie69 Maybe it's all a parody of the concept of a podcast and a lot of the guests just aren't in on it. Seems like the kind of thing he would do. Not defending the show though, I don't watch it either haha.

[@callum6224]

@@lugie69 I don’t know what you’re talking about, I love Limmy and I know what you mean by tim being weird, but on cinema is one of the best things ever made.

[@fcawley2042]

His face went so red

[@TransoceanicOutreach]

He remembers the cruel parts of Cheers. Who whudda thunk it?

[@edh482]

Both Limmy and Tim& Eric are similar comedy. Both made waves, in a kind of way.

[@haydnsamuels73]

Cheers was great. I watched the fucking lot during lockdown.

[@mattyrichardson7239]

[@christywhiteman4249]

I love Tim and Eric's Awesome show, great job! Not surprising you were inspired by them tbh. Watching the second series of limmys show, I did clock it. Love that. "You're a beautiful lookin guy lemmy" 😆 You and Tim are both beautiful guys.

I think they are in it!

Love Heidecker he has a new album coming out at the moment too. Like you a funny multi talented nut job

[@sb_dunk]

Did ye like cheelz?

[@clockworkpineapple9510]

Limmy > Tim & Eric

[@mendelovitch]

I find his stuff more heartfelt, e.g. the McCaffery Saga, while their stuff is ironic through and through.

[@PawsleyDirt]

Tim & Whoric?

[@eliwood9906]

On Cinema, especially the Oscar Specials far exceed any of Limmys lore,

[@davidb5173]

Cheers was brilliant. So was Only Fools and Horses. There seems to be a bit of sneering from alternative comics towards ‘normal’ comedy, as if it’s unimaginative or too vanilla. I find it really off putting. I see no reason why people can’t enjoy Cheers and OFAH but also enjoy the likes of Limmy, Monty Python, Armando Iannucci, Brass Eye, Stewart Lee etc

[@sinisterteaser4464]

I feel like the middle ground between alternative comedy and traditional sitcom type comedy is something like Seinfeld or father ted

[@DaveyMulholland]

I love Brass Eye/Jam and Dad's Army

[@mendelovitch]

Thanks for the list! I will look them up.

[@mendelovitch]

@@DaveyMulholland Oh! Dad's Army reminds me of Keeping Up Appearance! Embarrassment based comedy. It could be seen as a The Office ancestor.

[@dannybuchanan3661]

I don't know I don't think Limmy gas anything against safer comedy it's just not what excites him. He's not wrong Cheers isn't that funny but it's also not really meant to be, which is kind of how I understand shows like Everybody Loves Raymond. They're just funny enough to hook you but ultimately you're meant to be interested in the relationship dynamic and find it sort of s comforting and relaxed atmosphere. Only Fools and Horses is okay, I think they clearly made something that resonates and there's some brilliant jokes in there. I think the worship of it from what I've seen (obvs I don't know where you're from) always seems like a distinctly English thing, kind of like Still Game is for Scottish people.

[@avavhee9807]

Is this the origin of the Blahm?

[@vvvictoriav5958]

why does his fucking voice always sound so high and tinny on recordings?

[@smileforthesun]

Limmy has a bit of a hostile view towards Americans where he thinks everyone sees him as the pink elephant. Everyone in America has different accents, I have an accent. You'll have some negative people laughing at accents but generally no one will care.

[@coronalights9693]

you ever been on his stream? or seen people react to his videos?? its always a comment on his pronunciation of words or say things like.. IS THAT ENGLISH?

[@smileforthesun]

@@coronalights9693 yeah that's my bad, didn't understand the community too well. Still don't but I understand most say it in a joking manner. Thank you for letting me know tho.

[@signoguns8501]

@coronalights9693 I hope he doesnt take that too seriously tho. Everyone online speaks with a corporate cable news type of accent lol. CNN accent. Theyre the last people you want to listen to about that kind of thing. But if you want to earn a living on here, yove got to along with it, i sppose. Sounds like hell on earth, but thats the way it is now

[@coronalights9693]

"praise redacted"

[@TransoceanicOutreach]

I just google Tim Heidecker, and apparently he is on tour in the UK RIGHT NOW. I still have no idea who he is.

[@e4unow421]

Cheers was the name of a shite pub in Greenock too.

Lol what

[@GekoPish]

AdultSwim is awesome

[@fakename503]

Not to belittle Tim Heidecker but his whole 'style' is basically stolen from the guys who made the G.I Joe parodies. Who are writers for his company.

[@urmumsbaps]

Total nonsense. I don't thinkyou understand what the word stolen means.

[@fakename503]

@@urmumsbaps Not only is it stolen, Tim made his whole career of of it. Google/KZbin Adult Swim and Doug Pound. The whole 'random' (Do you smoke? Make sure your dog does too. [ADULT SWIM]) thing that replaced their whole edgy early anime (You quit smoking. Your friends don't think you're cool anymore. [ADULT SWIM]) thing comes completely from Doug Pound and his friend. They made a movie named 'Printer' (I think) in the early 2000's. Adult Swim based their whole thing off that and his editing style. (One that I can think of is Too Many Cooks) Doug Pound actually works for Adult Swim/Tim and Eric. He's a satire of a DJ. Look up his series Pound House. It's basically shot for shot Tim and Eric. (For the most part not drowning you in surrealism though)

[@kinghani]

Tim Heidecker's best work is On Cinema, which I don't think has input from Dougg Pound and has a whole different style from Tim and Eric. It's not based on camp video editing or parody so much and it's funnier in my opinion.

[@eliwood9906]

On Cinema is the greatest comedy, Tims a genius, not sure if Limmy is

[@sowhazupguy]

@@eliwood9906 what's the point of saying that

[@louistracy6964]

Agreed, not that funny. Cheers.

[@Silphwave]

I've hated Tim ever since his involvement in the cancellation of Sam Hyde from Adult Swim
