Rare Richard Ayoade Stand Up Video

Richard Ayoade stand up video from 2003. Discussing toilet graffiti, James Dean's sexuality, smoking, strip club etiquette, and electrocuting his dad.

[@rachellraee]

I feel like I'm watching a video from a parallel dimension

[@IanJones942]

Weirdly, he seems more confident here. ...Must be wearing women's slacks.

[@mrtjm1152]

Ian Jones The IT Crowd was the best

[@shaiandrews6964]

[@Marties2nd]

it is IT.... sorry lol

[@lozzybozzy234]

Nah, he seems like hes unsure about who he is here, I think these days hes more comfortable with it. As he should be, he's great!

[@ja-ju7gl]

Bahahaha!!!! 😁

[@Lucifronz]

He probably hates this video.

[@Emma-fq9pv]

His approach is so different here. Interesting to see how comedians develop their personas.

[@Tridentus]

Yeah dude, it takes time for people to BECOME the people they need to be to accomplish things.. That's what is never recognised.

[@markzomm1309]

KingOfTheCairns maybe it would be interesting if ayoade had a personality, all he does is speak in a dull slow voice, hardly groundbreaking is it?

[@BennHaze]

I think that's because most people look to who they find funny as an example, so they slightly take on a similar persona (because its proven to work). In the comic strip doc they talk about how Seinfeld was unlike everybody else and then eventually all new stand ups were like him

[@tsukimarushinji9433]

@@markzomm1309 it's actually quite new and brilliantly clever and it's becoming more and more well known. It's that style of comedy that inspired captain raymond holt in brooklyn 99. It's unique because it gets everyone involved in the joke. It immediately opens so many avenues for the other characters and people to react to as well as yourself.

[@Whoops201]

This is hilarious if you've seen a lot of Ayoade in more recent years, cause his entire comedy act is built around him being all uptight and dorky and then here he is just dancing on an imaginary pole

[@ainstainify]

Exactly! I tend to believe that his role in IT crowd is what influenced his comedic style substantially. Somehow Moss became his persona. Although he is definitely like him in his personal life (to a lesser degree perhaps).

[@MM-dq2pi]

It looked like he was flossing his butt with a towel!

[@davereeves454]

ainstainify I think Jon Richardson also plays the same game and it works

[@djhart25]

I dunno.. Jon Richardson did a relatively serious documentary style video on his OCD.. You're probably right, but I'd guess Jon irl is much closer to his persona than Richard

[@MegaFatimab]

I think this was the act because he stood like he was uncomfortable.

[@PomegranateStaindGrn]

Anything Ayoade I will watch. Can’t get enough.

[@simonpenum]

Only thing I won't watch are those God awful panel shows he does. Like, don't get me wrong, it's understandable- it's great money for just turning up and making wisecracks but he's so much better than that

[@wrenclark4907]

simonpenum noooo trust me he makes the panel shows so much better

[@bitchykins]

It's somehow unsettling to see him smile so much...

[@coolcoconuts4453]

You know someone's talented when they can pull off charismatic in the traditional sense like this and can then turn into a robot man character and yet somehow become more charismatic

[@sirtogii5216]

Saw him in a tiny student union in Paisley 2001 and it's to this day one of the best acts I've ever seen.

[@thentheworld6152]

[@titanictotired]

I'm from Ipswich and I can say for sure that Joeseph can't play cricket.

[@Gerwald_Lanzer]

Yes I can.

[@stayforthepeelpronpls4774]

I feel like the standard Richard we see is an exaggerated character kind of based off moss because it’s what people found funny. Watching IT crowd bloopers you can see him not being his ‘dignified character’ because it’s not being broadcasted and sometimes he breaks character on game shows. I feel like it’s more of this alter ego that he plays for the cameras because he seems quite private. Don’t get me wrong I find him very funny and I think he just sticks with what works and I like that it adds a layer of mystery that makes clips like these even more interesting.

[@ferhottie]

With him being a Gemini sun and mercury that doesnt surprise me.

[@puddycat2325]

Annette Danielle What are you on?

[@bestfeet]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYGVnZmbeK1snqc

[@puddycat2325]

Phermone Fanatic but then again when you look at the bloopers he changes quite a bit. Some he stays in character, but in most he breaks it.

[@RetroRulzMyTown]

The thing is that he’s a Woody Allen fan, and Woody Allen himself was someone who played a shy and neurotic character instead of actually being that himself. So I feel like this is mainly influenced from that.

[@tiltedmouse1972]

To be fair, i would like to see more

[@megglesy]

I'd LOVE to see more of Richard this young! He's brilliant.

[@vlada1582]

It took me way too long to realize why i was uncomfortable and then it hit me - the glasses

[@TarmenAmzarian]

We were all young at some stage. And the some of u... one of us grew to be the gem that is Richard Ayoade today.

[@cheers4life100]

I mean this was actually funny. I wish there was more content like this from him but I prefer his current comedic style. He's great either way tho

[@vampireunicorn9361]

[@kit2614]

his voice is so deep compared to the one he puts on usually

[@arfski]

Take the cheese out of your ears then.

[@HolandaChiquita]

He sounds the same to me... I think it's the bad audio that makes it a bit more rumbly, but his voice itself is the same as always.

[@pausebeforeviewtube]

It's not. It's deeper than many of his characters. He often changes his pitch (and, to some extent, his timbre) for characters. Moss and Learner are quite high, while Saboo is at the lower end of his range (and also less nasal). Interestingly, his voice on panel shows actually sits a little higher than this, so he may have spoken in a slightly deeper voice when he was younger and doing standup to project an air of confidence while he was feeling nervous and unsure.

WHERE ARE HIS GLASSES

[@daniellaumney482]

I was wondering the same thing. Maybe this was before he started wearing glasses. In the description box, it says this stand up video was from 2003, and I think before he started playing Moss in The IT Crowd in 2006, he played some other roles in TV programmes where he wasn’t wearing glasses. I know he was definitely wearing glasses from 2006 onwards because he was wearing them nearly all the time in The IT Crowd.

[@MadArtMart]

Unless his glasses are part of his character persona, as they could be fake glasses

So the joke goes that in a London cubicle he saw relatively offensive graffiti whereas in Ipswhich it wasn't anywhere near as offensive. An example of the Ipswich graffiti is "Jeremy can't play cricket" and underneath someone (assumed to be Jeremy for brilliant comedic effect) wrote "yes I can". This is comedy gold! The guy is a genius. Little wonder he is given so much work when he's concoting comedic gems like that.
