Limmy's Show - We Are the Polis

[AlexH]

They even got the run right, fakin legends

[cheeriosy]

This went from light hearted joke to social commentary

[GMMReviews]

*"You canny go round arresting people for a joke!"*

That line aged well.

Limmy just referenced this 15 years later while playing Disco Elysium on stream.

Back on top :D

Athens when Delos asks them where the Delian league funds went

[Neo.]

I love how they run away shitting and giggling

[highviewbarbell]

I don't know why I expected some philosophical treatise on Athenian citizenship, obviously it's not that kind of polis.

[trisblackshaw]

That horrible moment when the Spartans decide to leave a garrison in your city.

[bossisin]

I like how they scurry away lol also him saying classic

[agravemisunderstanding]

That laugh was a certified polis classic

[Grimnir_x]

This show looks like it was recorded in Chernarus but then you remember that's just what Scotland looks like

[johnronald]

As an archaeologist I heard this guy call himself a Greek city-state

[kemosonicfanlbp]

I like how the lack of earlier context makes people think this is a free speech being silenced joke, when in reality the "Polis" handcuffed the guy as a joke 10 seconds earlier and that's what he's talking about here.

“You can’t handcuff and arrest someone for a joke!”
“What are you gonna do about it, phone the police?”
“Mate, we are the police.”

[arcihungbycraneonfire]

The new GTA 4 Scotland DLC looks epic.

[ihtihgtrzhijj]

He said it right: "Classic".

:-D

[adfasfuiuiui]

— Ye cannae gae round handcuffin folk an arrestin them fir a joke!
— What ye gonnae dae about it? Phone the polis? Mate, WE ARE the polis.

Reading Irvine Welsh's novels helped a bit.

[pitilessnightmare]

Limmy: polis

What YouTube subtitle heard: we are the Paulists

[UsernameDoesntCare]

"You cant arrest people for a joke!"
aged well.

[TheOnlyCathyCat]

Is this one of those "fly-on-the-wall" documentaries that people watch?
