Limmy's greatest sketch.

"I made mistakes.. i know i made mistakes, but thats just part of life, just part of living, thats what it was it was living. Unlike now its just... i dont wanna be here anymore, i wanna be there."

A time and place with pals. Great memories not to be renewed again. Not appreciated because we didn’t know any better. Limmy hits the mark here more than any other comedian can. We all wanny go back. This is lethal!!

Ive seen this clip 1000x. Every time at 1:58 when he turns his head and says "unlike noo.... I don't wannane be here any more" its like a knife in the heart. Not because life is so bad for me, but because it changes the scene from one about a man reminiscing about the freedom of teenage years in the 80s and 90s to one about a man in deep depression and looking for a way out. And if you know Limmy's history you know what I mean. Genius level pathos. The naturalistic speech is Mamet level, the fleeting expressions across Limmy's face are perfect, and the director's framing and timing of the framing are perfect. It's the Beach Boys of sketches. Pure genius compressed into less than 3 minutes. Edit: Should be obvious, but honestly I rate him as a brilliant actor. I think I understand why he's doing what he's doing now, and appreciate some of it, but Christ I think it's a waste.

It must have been even more powerful seeing this in the context of the show, broadcast on TV, mixed in with all the absurdist comedy sketches. Absolutely devastating haha. Love that there was a time when this kind of artist-led TV could be made.

If you read his autobiography he talks about the time he spent in Millport when he was younger. Seems this was really close to home for him

Summer of 2007 - just finished A-Levels and was working retail for a year before starting Uni in 2008. Every single weekend for a year straight we would meet up, have a few drinks then get the bus into town. Pure vibes, having a laugh, loads of friends about, getting drunk, chasing girls, zero drama and not a care in the world. 19 years old and invincible. I miss those days so, so much. More than I ever let on.

Loved reading people's comments on this. Hits me right in the gut when he says i don't want to be here anymore. Its hard being a adult

Thank you for bringing this back. It disappeared for ages.

If you'd asked me how to put into words what it's like to reminisce and yearn for that time in your life, I'd have said it was impossible. And here Limmy just nails it. Happens to us all, but still feels special.
Great to have the memories all the same.

How do I get there. The era this video was made. When I didn’t doom scroll, when the everyday news wasn’t worse on top of bad.

I want to be there. How do I get there?

I saw this clip last winter. I guess it had just been uploaded and it happened to pop out and I clicked it. I didn't know who Limmy was and I guess I was in a hurry. I didn't click "follow" or anything. I just saw this bit and it stuck to my head. What was it that I saw? I tried searching for it in vain. I remembered the guy looked like that purple burglar alarm -guy, I had seen, but I didn't think it was the same anyway. So in a while I forgot about it.

But now, over half a year later I found it, by accident I would say. I dove into the world of Limmy. I'm listening to his autobiography. I've lived a different kind of life, not as conflicted as he has. But there is alot of stuff I can relate to. Alot. It's a brilliant book. And I love his unique brand of comedy.

I wonder why this bit is not on Limmys official channel.

whats he say at the end? "just give me a ton of logs"?
