    Simon Amstell is a piss-taking legend. I rewatch his Buzzcocks episodes with glee. Classic TV.

    I am incredibly grateful for the frontman of 'The Kooks', and even more so for his incredibly fragile ego, without it this interview would not have been so fucking hilarious.
    Amstell personifies great British humour.

  • @billydeeuk

    Painful to watch those two, especially the singer. He seems like he was hoping to treat this interview as a showcase of how special and mysterious he is, but couldn't quite bend it that way when he couldn't figure out if he got Amstells jokes or not.
