I love how limmy is able to verbalize vague, primal thoughts that I sometimes have but can't put into words.
That's the role scottish people fulfill in humanity.
Limmy would have loved it if James Corden had played Ken
"well THAT just happened"
"they FLY now!?"
I for one am really interested to see Richard E Grant's reaction to this new, modern masterpiece.
I imagine he'll be cheering, shouting and fist-pumping the air.
He can't WAIT for you to see it. Gah.
Better than star wars tbf
@@landondonovanify To be fair that's not that hard.
Nothing will prepare you for it.
It is 90’s American sitcom smart arse patter , quips and rapid fire mini patter battles of smugness
Reddit: The Movie
God I hate this type of humour
I always think Ryan Gosling is one step away from going utterly insane if he hasn’t already.
LITERALLY me
@@hithere981press junkets must be absolute torture.
@@borismuller86 Ryan Gosling was paid 12.5 million dollars for this movie, I think he's probably fine with it mate
Every movie I've ever seen him in it feels like he's acting ironically, he's just like "this is really stupid isn't it" in every movie
@@kubaprosek9989 I saw this documentary about Nicholas Winding Refn and there's a bit where he's trying to explain an idea to Gosling, and he's using some sexual metaphor (I think) to try and explain it and Gosling keeps turning to the camera and raising an eyebrow as if he's an episode of The Office instead of hearing Refn out first. He comes off as a bit smug and woke-y.
Theyd need to make a film about Spinning Tops for Limmy to relate.
Stick and hoop rolling more his speed 😁
I think it’s great the way you can analyse, articulate and defend your taste.
Apparently the bald dude from Aqua has made millions in the last month from a massive up-tick in the amount of people downloading the song " Barbie Girl " and its predicted to keep rising.
Imagine writing a song like Barbie Girl in 97 for a Euro-dance act and nearly 30 years later you are making more money from it than ever before. ( Not that it hasn't made a lot of money anyway but his wealth is going through the roof because of a movie he has zero connection to )
I mean it was a pretty popular song back in 97.
There’s ZERO chance he’s making more money now than when it was in heavy rotation in the era of music when musicians actually got paid more than zero dollars.
@@baTonkaTruckI mean if he owns the streaming royalty rights he could make some money. Literally dozens of dollars.
I don't think it goes any deeper than Kate Mckinnon just being crap
I love Limmy so much because my mum's Glaswegian and shares exactly his inability to lose an argument. "An ahm no saying" "An it's no jist because" "snob? YOU'RE the snob!" - background soundtrack to my childhood listening to my aunts and uncles argue. It's not that Limmy doesn't want to see Barbie. It's that you have to understand why he's right with all this context. As a bonus you get the two wines in stuff too: "There's a Ben Stiller feel tae it [...] does ma fuckin' nut in".
I wish Limmy would make another sketch show.
I’d like that too, but I understand why he is reluctant to make another one. He’s done 4 now.
"Yeah ya did" Classic.
Spot on limmy ❤
Rab Nesbitt is my favourite humour.
I'd like to know what Limmy thinks of that.
the comedy of today has turned the weans against us
hilarious
I don't think so
😭😭😭
I genuinely didnt realise that was meant to be comedy
That's incredibly base level simple comedy. It's just simple common references delivered very simply.
it comes from the writers room designed by committee comedy pioneered by east coast elites. a word-heavy competition style where 10 people have had to add value to a single sentence justify all their paychecks.
@@figgettit it was written by 2 people
I have noticed that a lot of "American style" comedy is always very simple and predictable, it's also mostly text based comedy
@@ItsASuckyName yeah, it's "written article" funny. The joke in this clip annoys me because it's attempting to establish not only that a "weird barbie" is a phenomenon everyone remembers, but that everyone called it a "weird barbie". And then the comedic content of the joke is very thin, it's just a witty description of such a barbie. That's generally the vibe I get from mainstream American comedy. It's witty, not funny.
@@MFKitten I think this clip is just awful out of context. The audience already knows about weird barbie by this point of the film, so this is her quickly introducing herself to the people that are kind of responsible for creating her. It's played as more of an anti-joke if anything. On its own though this clip is just a garbage tier "haha look at the thing" joke.
Is it a gift or a curse to have such strong opinions as Limmy?
It’s definitely an intelligence of a certain kind.
It’s neither and both
Limmy has made me feel so much better about hating 90% of films. I didn’t like it. I found it way too try hard.
Enjoy 2023 cinema landscape
I completely feel the same way, same as my pals making me sit through Adam Sandler films or even most of will Ferrell which i did find funny in my younger years but now I'm hitting 30 my sense of humour seems to have dried or just changed and I only seem to really find more structured stand up or sketch comedy funny and most popular "box office" films I just find a bit obnoxious to be honest.
A voice of reason
Fucking Astro Wars man!!! yeeeesss you just unlocked a memory!
It’s Kate McKinnon comedy, she’s such a one tick pony
Trick
@@tonypine3434 did you actually think that’s what I meant? Use some critical thinking skills mate
Didn't laugh at any of the promo material but genuinely found the jokes in the context of the film very funny.
The thing about the movie is it feels like a movie
let em know limmy
I hope I don’t get that bitter once my forehead is longer than m scalp.
So thats why he never watched Tropic Thunder.
It wasn’t pure Marvel on the nose humour but it wasn’t too far off, i think Limmy would enjoy Gosling in it to be honest
Barbie looks like a bit of fun
lankey is a good lad
Comedy of today is hit or miss.
Imagine being a grown ass man and having to defend not wanting to see a Barbie movie.
The world is fucked.
gettinhg called a snob because he said it wasnt firhim.
@@rso823 Yeah...cos men just love watching movies about women lecturing men.
I'm Cosmo Kramer, the Ass Man
“Having” to
You paid to see them, they didnae pay to see you. Staun yer groun.
I am so glad im not the only person that doesnt like Ben Stiller.
I actually really enjoyed it
The theatre I saw it in was 90% of the time silent
Are you from the UK?
before watching this I was surprised limmy needed 8 mins to explain this
but im glad he did
Limmy needs at least 8 minutes to explain everything.
Can somebody please explain the joke Limmy tells at the end? I hear it as, "Did you hear the one about the lonely prisoner? He was in his cell." I get the feeling there's some sort of play on words there, that "he was in his cell" is supposed to sound like something else, but it doesn't sound like anything to me.
"his cell" sounds like "his sel" which is scottish slang/pronunciation of "himself", so the lonely prisoner was both in his cell and by himself
@@jamesrice9482 Yeah, I suspected it might be some expression that would only make sense to Scottish people.
Can anyone explain that final joke? I guess it only works in a Scottish accent.
He was "in by himself"
@@MJK808 ah! cheers.
Limmy for president of the world please 🙏
But Limmy, what about Zoolander?
‘Smart Casual’ shites on this from a great height.
Hollywood’s down the pan, big style.
take my wife...
...please, take her!
Was the Cindy doll Scottish
Went to see it last night. Wasn't expecting much from the trailers but it was actually class
That bit with the weird Barbie isn't funny though, I don't even think it's supposed to be funny
It's too on the nose. They're just explaining their jokes & that's their jokes. I agree with him
In context the scene works, outside it doesn't. Overall it's honestly a pretty funny movie, with some of the best lines being genuinely amazing comedy. You don't need to justify not liking it, but that scene out of context isn't really indicative of the movie.
I think it's just American TV show comedy, someone being over confident in that kinda annoying zippy way, like Brooklyn 99 and shows like that.
Brooklyn 99 comedy is everybody gets a punchline comedy.
Greta Gerwig was in a Ben Stiller film.
Oh yeah? If you know so much about comedy, why don't you write a comedy sketch show? Then you can talk, Limmy.
Just watch Mean Girls again.
Saw the film, having not seen the trailer, after reading a film thread on a guitar forum. Really enjoyed it. Each to their own..
you must be a womanly man
It's ok your allowed not to like it mate!
But, but, but... Amy Schumer!
geis yer laptop
I haven‘t watched it yet, but scene reminds me of the humor in Don’t Look Up, which I didn’t find funny at all.
How it worked was to put absurdly dumb „mainstream“ people in dialogue with a „quirky outsider but sane“ person, who reacts in a very dry way, and show the resulting awkwardness.
The clip wasnt a joke though was it?
Is that a rhetorical question?
It was based in observational/relatable comedy
More of a comment, really.
It's the josh whedon quips that really grate on me, everyone's always so snarky
I like Greg's Girwig and Noah Baumbach, and this Barbie film actually has something to say apparently. But this humor is also not for me. I don't know why every American comedy sounds like late series American the Office.
It does feel dated.
He didn't say it wasn't funny, it's not an attack. It's just not for him but a fragile ego can't handle someone not liking what they like.
Yous are all rang
Everybody is still trying to make Anchorman again and it wasn't even funny the first time.
Yeah something about awkwardcore is really off.
It's excellent, very funny and surprisingly touching. The whole cinema applauding at the end got me right in the feels.
Did you first bump the air?
@@EpicJonT and high five the person next to you!
@@EpicJonTit's ABSOLUTELY everything you want it to be, and I CANT WAIT for you to see it. Gah!
lol
It's not really humour. It's reenacting currently familiar patterns of expression that people recognize as humour.
Has Kate McKinnon ever been funny in anything?
kate mckinnon has got so far for being as unfunny as she is
Really don't think it's aimed at you tbh
Cancelled
That clip isn't indicative of the comedy in the film whatsoever
Yep, seconded. I found some of it (like this bit) fell a bit flat but when the jokes landed they really hit. Goes to show you can't judge a 2 hour movie from one clip.
I saw the movie and thought it was really good. It's not exactly hilarious but it's definitely very entertaining and has a lovely message
I haven’t seen it. What was the message?
@@TheSaladin777i've heard that gosling is good/funny in it, but that otherwise the comedy falls pretty flat for the most part; also heard conflicting opinions on the message, or at the least the tone of the message, some saying it's a bit satirical and parodies sort of 'progressive zealots' in some places and others saying that it's all fully (politically) earnest.
I'm sorry but what was the 'lovely message'?
@@MattPuxty have you not watched the movie?
@@arnold-hu4vk No, that’s why I’m asking…
Have we gone so far thru the looking glass now that 50 year old Dads have to explain why the Barbie film isnt for them.
Did anyones 50 year old Dad watch Friends or Sex and the City back in the day? No. So leave it to the lassies and gentle wee fellas under 25.
Not sure this is about age, but rather taste. Don’t think Limmy would have liked it as a young man either. There is nothing new or progressive about this sort of humour which makes it age specific. It’s a question of personal preference.
I’m still to be convinced Ryan Gosling is a good actor.
8 minutes? It's not for him because he's a scot, residing in Scotland. Exposure to a colour any brighter than grey for more than a minute will probably give him a stroke.
Is it rated for children? A friend saw it and she said there’s a lot of weird sexual and political references in most of the jokes. And she heard a mother whisper to her child in a concerned tone. “are you enjoying this?”
Kids won't have a clue what's going on
i think it was PG 13
This is going to sound incredibly patronising but I think Limmy's trying to say he doesn't like 'Lo-fi' - where the dialogue is purposefully unpolished to give a sense of relatability and authenticity.
Yeah that humour based on awkward conversation is cringe as fuck.
Its more corporate cashing in, inviting the plebs in for a bit of nostalgia, it could be entertaining, just not my idea of fun.
Kate McKinnon is so painfully unfunny in everything.
I'm always impressed by Limmy's restraint, in holding back his true feelings. Especially, when he clearly wants to blurt out on obvious truth when something is clearly "pure f###ing sh!yte!" 🤣
i dunno what to tell you man, he says the exact opposite. he's not restraining anything. at 3:20 he says that he explicitly doesn't feel like its a bad film. there is nothing here that tells me he's withholding his true feelings lol.
It's just not your thing. That's cool dude and you don't need to feel a need to justify your opinion.
You aren't hateful or angry, you're just you x
Just say its shite mate. Cause thats what it is.
I thought it was shite and I haven't even seen it.
My only point of reference with the Barbie movie is listening to Limmy voicing his disappointment with it. Thats all I need to know
I found the film very enjoyable and funny. I didn't laugh at all of the jokes, maybe 80% though. I did play with barbies when I was little so I am the target audience. The messaging was good, but delivered in the typically American heavy-handed way which made it a bit cringe
What was the messaging?
@@grantmitchel Men are inherently evil.
Barbie doesn't appeal to those with a certain kind of intelligence
Just say it Limmy the film was a load o shite 😂
Took the missus to see it and ngl it was quite funny. A solid 6/10.
I enjoyed it more than she enjoyed Oppenheimer the night before
Same shite as Seth McFarlane aka explaining what is meant to be funny rather than actually just setting up and delivering a punchline. Just saying "wow what a wacky thing is happening right now". And I mean, that can be done to good effect sometimes, but not if it's the entire humour of a film or done too overtly.
I feel like the reaction to the film sums up current society - angry gammon rage about the film in general -v- angry reactions from people who loved the film when you say it wasnt / isnt for you. What if you just dont care about this film haha
Then don't care about it. People who don't care about it aren't vocalising their opinions as much so all you're seeing is rage or fan boys.
Is gammon a racial term?
This funnyman is quick enough to attack his own community for its humour but quails in fear at being seen to think Barbie comedy is bad
Barbie was good but the humour felt very snl, I know a lot of people love stuff like that but I just don’t find it funny
I think he needs to accept he isn't the target audience for this type of thing
“It’s just not for me.”
Sounds like he accepts it just fine.
That actress was great in The Hunger Games because it wasn't a comedy and she was playing a character but every generic American comedy she is in, the humour is so lame.
It's the constant pandering that ruins lots of modern films. It's not even the intrusive socio-political point-making so much as the ham-fisted and cheesy way it's done.
i loved the barbie movie but i understand how the comedy falls flat. also i just wanna say limmy is a comedic genius
The feminist messaging is a little too heavy handed and quite cruel actually. With a little better writing they could have made it about the Kens and Barbies coming to a realisation and moving forward equally.
@daftycunt such a missed opportunity though. Instead of being man hating etc it could have been a great little movie for putting forward a message of working together and how we are stronger if we do.
@@chrissymc886 no one cares what a man thinks about their idea of "feminism"
@@chrissymc886i think you completely missed the point of the movie if you think it was man hating
@@Connax94 it was dreadful. The men were technically the oppressed class in the Barbieworld. The sheer joy Ken felt when someone asked him the time in the real world... He had never been given even respect enough for that. The way they would only give the men equal rights if the real world changed... Changed what exactly? Lotta sh*t.
