Hey Limmy - I’m just 3 months into a 600 year prison sentence for the cannibalistic murder of 87 women and children, so as you can imagine I’m a bit down in the dumps - these videos are a real treat, helping me forget my troubles. Thanks and all the best x
@@avlpe7662 Not in the Barras, I'm from Manchester, but this brings back memories of me as a 13 year old travelling 30 minutes on a bus to Cheetham Hill to meet up with an older lad, hand over a fiver and get passed a brown shipping envelope full of 3.5" disks loaded with ST and Amiga Warez compilations from groups like Automation and Fairlight, good times :)
I always remember when I was in first year in Glasgow Uni, just arrived from Northern Ireland and someone told me to go to the barras one weekend. There was a jakey guy trying to sell 1 shoe and a wee van selling "sea food" that smelt really off and was stinking the whole place out. Was a baptism of fire. Bought a load of pirate cds, happy days 🤣
So weird but me and my wife were shagging there with our usual TH-cam playlist of shagging tunes and this video randomly came on the sequence. Even weirder we both just ploughed on. I was watching this whilst rattling her up the Miller and Carter (I.e Farter) and we were both just laughing away. Thanks
Limmy nails these stereotypes to a tee. Craig then drops out after spending too much time at underground art school parties drinking hooch, gets a job at the politics bar and evolves into Malcolm Malcolm by his 30s.
Spot on with that vinegar and sickly sweet smell description, it cracked me up as I instantly remembered it, and flashbacked to digging about for cheap singles (records!) on a sunday. I wonder what that smell was, but I dareny think about it too much.
This story is a strong lesson in humility, flexibility, and the real challenges of business. It shows that true business skill isn't just about book knowledge or big ideas, but about understanding and handling different situations, dealing with tough people, and making the best of hard times. Craig's story is a clear reminder of the difference between school learning and real-world application. It emphasizes the need for adaptability, hands-on experience, and the ability to navigate various and tough environments in business.The hard lessons Craig learns at the Barrows could be very valuable in his future, making him a more complete and resilient person.
Why is it one of your favourites? My favourites if I had to choose are ‘dodgy cookie’ and ‘facebook friend only, doesn’t really like him’, although there’s so many others which are also genius, too many to mention. I think this one, which you’d expect from the title to be perfect class dynamics material for Limmy, loses its way and gets bogged down in the social politics. In my view he falls into this trap too often, even now as a more accomplished story teller. Most often, but not always, with the independence/scottish vs english source material.

stay strong mate you'll be out soon
Stay true to yourself ignore the haters they’re just jealous x
You'll pull through, I'm sure it was all just a misunderstanding
Hopefully an endorsement from limmy will show people our life choices aren't something to be ashamed of.
Do you know where i can get some steak ?
5 years later and I’ve suddenly remembered fucking dying at this and the same has happened again, Limmys best work imo
Unreal how invested I was in this story. Just zonked out picturing it aw out
used to buy games in the barras from a guy. he'd walkie talkie a lad and he'd appear with CDs for the ps1. great times.
What about Amiga disks before that, did you ever get them there..!??

pissing myself why does it always end up so violent
It's what the shareholders demand
@@DinckelburgMost self aware shareholders
My name is Jamesy Johnstone and I absolutely shat myself when you said my name staring into the depths of my soul
But you look like a Peter.
That intimidating angry guy voice is comedy gold.
Aye, that's pretty standard for Scots.
I love how he whisper shouts because his wean and the missus are probably asleep
Laugh a minute when yer on the receiving end ay it selling steaks in the Barras.
“We’re corrupt as fuck”
This is the best sentence I’ve heard a person say
You need to get out more then, Craig.
I kno man hehe
@@kirstymcintee8162 "hehe" is the best possible spelling for this
"hehe im corrupt as fuck man hehehehe"
Was worried Craig wouldn't be involved for a minute there.
Go on the Craig
Lol nice to see the scots supporting each other
The jacket was a total giveaway....
I'll be telling Twitter....
Ye selling steaks...
asmr roleplay: you’re getting strangled for using the word “sate” in the barras
That was my favourite part, it reminded me of Ivor Cutler's "The Shapely Balloon" when the shopkeeper goes ballistic after hearing the word "assuage"
"great on a plate" you just can't teach that
pissin myself
“Jenksy was right about you lot man” - barras salesmen
"I CANT BREATHE!!!!"
[Terrifying Presence] "coz im fucking killing ye."
These emotions feel too real. Feel like this is some life experience comming out here
There's personal tragedy in all good comedy
Nah Limmy’s just that good.
Think this is my favourite one, I like an uplifting story.
How noisey are you?!
even the polis dinnae like a grass

i like to hold my breath everytime the kid gets choked out to really immerse myself in the story cheers !

This comment man 😂
This comment is better than the video!
Hahahahaha
Is it the playlist "tunes for when burst"? Those are some BANGING 80s tune m8.
Hahahahahahaha
Why didn’t The Barra’s Human Resources Department get involved in this managerial harassment?
That's what I was wondering. Surely there is strict procedural protocol to handle this kind of situation in the Barras.
@@Etcher There is, a fuckin chokin'
because they’re corrupt as fuck
@@Etcher plot twist: they are the HR department tae 😂
🤣🤣🤣
idk why but the thought of elon musk travelling all the way to Glasgow just to hear Craig speak has me in hysterics

"you're jenks now" that was so wholesome
"the shops look shite..." Tears.
Limmy, this is your finest work to date. Amazing.
This happens to me everytime i go to the barras.
Diz it aye
@@agsrd4496 no I was lyin
@@brooscaredya
Wir ye aye
"Your appetite it will sate"
Skyrim court wizard: "I'm sendin' yu t' the barras"
the void noise in these videos are really the cherry on top
So happy you posted some again. Really helps when my life is in the toilet. Appreciate you Limmy.
You’re a toilet

It's the brewery man, the brewery mixed with the old river industry. The combination smells toxic
This is Limmy's crowning achievement.
this and parasite 2019 are constantly fighting for dominance over who is the better classism commentary in my head
Would be incredible if someone animated these haha
It’s happening!
@@weefinanimation5387 go on son
@@weefinanimation5387 yesi
In the same way of ‘Wee Gary’ from Limmys Show 😂😂
This is tremendous. I genuinely haven't laughed so much at a comedian for years.
That Mr Jenks has worked everywhere btw (also in the Reunion Improv), gotta love a recurring character Limmy #doubleplusgood
"The shops look shite". The best line in this story
this is the most jarring ASMR video i’ve seen
You know you’re Scottish when the title alone makes you laugh 😂😂
I lost it at the bit where the cops go ''we're corrupt as fuck here mate...'' hahaha
"Always felt that I look like a Peter"
Started laughing just at the title.
As soon you hear “let the story commence” then you know you’re in for a ride 😂
This is the third time I’ve listened to this story an it gets better every time.
Limmy the Story Genius, always a joy too watch dude....
I cannot believe this free to watch, it is AMAZING, PURE GLESGA xxx

This is my current favorite story, i go through stages where im addicted to the one story, keep the laughs coming in this fucked up world, Legend

I’ve watched every improv story he’s done but I return to this one for the full 25 minutes every now and then. It’s pure joy.
Best improv story you've ever done
Hey!! Stop that...or I'll be telling Twitter. 🤣🤣
Still one of my fav Limmy improve stories
This should really be a movie.
"I can't breathe"...
"Because am killin ye".
Back for my weekly viewing of this masterpiece
Limmy, this is glorious. Thank you.
"am no oan the internet a don't gee a fuck" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm a lecturer and I got the job by becoming rich and then losing it all. Now my life is full of Craigs.
Mary didnt know John's name for the 10 years they were together until they both met Craig
Fkn Craig man, ah hate that khunt.
this is my favorite video on youtube
For about 10 minutes, I thought he was talking about selling STICKS. Imagining the uni student with a pile of twigs he's gotta sell.
@Marty McK most def
the glasgow uni accent gets me everytime
I've been here a few times... This is the best improv.
17:00 this is just so good it’s honestly wasted on a random improv vid on TH-cam. 😂
I love goin tae the barras
After that story, I feel as though we are all Jenks now
I watch this every night it's a perfect bedtime story for adults.
'Mary, do people know what 'rate' means?'
Didnt know Limmy was playing Begbie in Trainspotting 3 following the cancellation of Robert Carlyle
Benny Harvey rip
GBNF
Miss ye big man x
"THREE FOR A POON! THREE FOR A POON-AH!"
A steak that tastes great on a plate mate 😂
What a masterpiece of performance art this is.
that ending was fit for a black mirror episode
I want a spin-off story about Jamesie Johnston
I don't care what anyone says, I'm attending this man's streams.
Super enjoyed that just waiting on the first bus on shift to arrive so I can go busking maybe a story about buskers would be cool
The is the most inspirational story I've ever heard.
The best story I've heard!
The barras guy is Gary Barton aka mr Glasgow on TH-cam
24:51 is that wee look that gets me man
the best improv to date
Watch Mr Glasgows videos on here they are absolutely hilarious showing small clips of the characters past and present in the barras.
Aye mad puppet n that. He's pan breed but
Mad Puppet, Cheeky Wullie, Gerry et al.
des were men of trae
Painting the picture.... spot on pal😂
Might be the best one, certainly my favourite from the old fella.
Craigs had one hell of a life
Great story. Shocking ending.
i can't stop staring at that flick of hair on limmy's crown
15:05 not one not two not three not four
The barras guy would be played by Robert Carlisle, Craig by a young Alan Cummings
This is your finest story
This is very problematic
Only if you're Craig
What's the ploblem?
This is the funniest thing on youtube no exceptions
Love me some hand fed corn fed Argentinian kobe steaks from Japan
ending fucking sent me. could only dream of being this good at improv
you know that cliché where the old fart is too out of it to realise he's reciting the plot of a tv show he saw?
By far the best improv story
One of my favourite videos
Limmy is the man! My favorite story!
