Limmy’s Show! is a sketch comedy show created by Brian Limond. The show first aired in 2009 and only three seasons of Limmy’s Show! can be found on Netflix.

The show can be very confusing if you aren’t ready to think openly, I am not sure that I could easily explain the premise of the show. The humor is something that you have to see in order to understand. But I believe you will enjoy the show if you are a fan of vines, memes or just internet culture in general.

In the first season, Limmy tells his viewers that his show is funny and everyone will agree, you just can’t think about the content too much. You can find another summary of this show in the article in which I list cheeky tv shows on Netflix. Each of these characters are played by the creator of the show, Limmy.

I decided to return to talk about the characters because these characters are some of the most original that I have ever seen.

Falconhoof

Falconhoof is the host of the tv show “Adventure Call” and guides callers through imaginative adventures. The caller has to make decisions in order to survive the role play so that they can win cash prizes.

With money on the line, the caller always seems to stray from the adventure which leads to a hilarious conversation between the timid Falconhoof and the usually upset caller.

Derek "Dee Dee" Durie

Dee Dee is a man who can almost always be found in his apartment, over analyzing everything. It is amazing to watch what he will waste his time on in each sketch. He begins every sketch with “Fockin…” and proceeds to explain a paranoid illusion or something that just doesn’t seem to add up.

Most of his thoughts are just exaggerated versions of notions that every person has had before.

Raymond Day

Raymond is a medium on his television show ‘Paraside’ and starts every episode with, “Let’s see where the spirit takes us.” People attend the show in order to connect with deceased relatives and friends. The audience expects to hear loving words from their lost ones but instead, Raymond always manages to give awful readings.

In one episode, Raymond connects with the mother of a young woman who had come to the show with her fiancé. The mother tells Raymond to inform her daughter just how much of an arsehole her fiancé is. The couple’s relationship is ruined on public television but there are no shocked faces in the crowd and everyone continues to applaud.

Limmy

Limmy pops up throughout the show to pose hypothetical questions or to just do something completely out of the norm. He keeps the episodes funny and exciting.

For one interruption, he suggests that his audience draws random arrows all over the ground so that non-watchers will confusingly follow meaning-less arrows. He may also ask you to imagine a certain nonsensical scenario.

Mr. Mulvaney

Mr. Mulvaney is a successful 60-year-old man who owns his own company. Yet for some reason, he commits petty crimes, ones so petty that they might instead be described as basic nuisances. Then he sits at his desk and prepares his story for when the cops come to question him but the cops never come.

So, he does something silly like stealing a candy bar, then he sits at work and thinks of how to get away with the crime as if anyone is actively looking for him. It sounds like a strange premise for a character but the sketches get crazier which makes them even funnier.

Jacqueline McCafferty

Jacqueline has lost three years of her life on heroin, and another five years on a methadone program meant to get her off of heroin. Jacqueline mentions this in nearly every encounter and is determined to overcome any obstacles that have arisen from misjudgments of her past.

Yet, no one really cares or knows about Jacqueline’s past. Most of her problems are minor and some are even just made up. She is always on the defense even though no one is ever really attacking her.

Wee Gary

Wee Gary is a child who recalls his various playground schemes. He tricks other kids into giving him money or goods in exchange for information or items, such as shoes. These skits are in the form of a voiced over comics and are very witty. Wee Gary is most definitely ahead of his time and makes use of it by conning his peers.

Overall, Limmy's Show! deserves your views. It's super funny and if you enjoy improv comedy, sketch comedy, or shows like Comedy Bang Bang!, you should give this show a try.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
