    Rory's stories are fine in my opinion after hearing Sir Stevo Timothy!

    Nah

    Both are as bad as each other. Rory just tries to be the 'lad'.

    Look at me. I work building sites and play gaa, im mad so I am.

    Ah, I dunno, I find Farmer Michael to be much more painful.

    And some of the surface level things just make me dislike him - the man bun, the beard, the tattoo: he just looks like an insufferable dose: there's an irony in him making a living in playing a caricature, when he looks like one himself.

    Can someone explain how that shouty video is in any way funny? I'm not saying it's offensive but where's the joke?

    This reaction is funnier than the actual video. https://twitter.com/griffski/status/1032229168661053440

    Same can be said for all his videos. There's an observation, an idea and then a sketch with nothing clever like a punchline.
    Fair play to him if he can make a living out of this shtick.

    Twitter needs to restrict the number of characters you are allowed to use!

    The replies are even worse.
    “Literally gave me anxiety”
    “It was confusing and horrible”
    “It’s awful, like the first scene in a harrowing domestic drama”
    The last one from a man that looks like he will never see a real life vagina.

    You seem to have conveniently left out the rest of that tweet, which refers to having grown up in a house where that kind of behaviour was usually followed by domestic violence.

    I also am kinda perplexed by the latest video. It looks like the start of of a dramatisation of the lead up to a massive row, rather than a sketch. I get that the joke is supposed to be that her demands are so insessent and OTT that he flips out, but there doesn't actually seem to be much of a joke in it. His frustration feels very genuine and if this was the beginning scene of a kitchen sink drama I'd expect him to start going around smashing up the kitchen.

    Where does it say that? I don't see a reply that says "literally gave me anxiety" but there's one that says "I had a full on anxiety attack watching it, it's awful" and that's the full tweet.

    Any video that triggers and upsets idiots like yer one and her followers is ok by me :D

    It's in the replies. Look again.

    Some of his stuff can be a bit witty funny and observational.


    The blonde one that's in a few of them is dire though. Dreadful acting.

    You seem to think the word literally is used properly on the internet.

    A simple "yeah, you're right, quoting that tweet out of context was a bit of a dick move on my part" would have sufficed.

    I couldn’t care less if you think it was a dick move. If it upsets you and your need to get offended on behalf of other people, all the better as far as I’m concerned.

    I've read all the replies. I don't see any in which anxiety and having suffered domestic abuse are in the same tweet. Having said that maybe I'm blocked by someone I've never spoken to because they followed repeal shield so I'll look again while signed out.

    EDIT - I see it now.

    Gloating about kicking a wing mirror off a carelessly parked car, now that’s a real dick move.

    So is changing the subject to distract from your shitty post. Desperate stuff.

    My post is fine. It’s only sh*tty to that one girl I quoted out of context and overly sensitive, perpetually offended people and they don’t count. I apologise if the girl is reading but not to anybody else.

    The fact that on these kinds of tweets I'm guaranteed to be blocked by at least two of the people responding because I got on repeal shields hate list goes to show how over sensitive they are. I guarantee they haven't even read any of my tweets, they just thought "oh shit, someone on the internet probably doesn't have the same view point as me".

    It's good that you've at least gone halfway towards acknowledging that it was a shitty thing to post. Well done.

    That dead parrot sketch that Monty Python did was confusing and awful. Like the first scene in a harrowing drama about death and coping with the loss of a loved one. It literally gave me anxiety as I grew up in a house that experienced the loss of numerous pets down through the years.

    Take a step back and look at what you’re doing. You’re getting angry with someone you don’t know, quoting someone else you don’t know, who most likely won’t ever know, out of context.
    Take stock dude.

    My father was one of the loudest, angriest people you could meet. However there were six of us and he never once raised a hand to any of us nor my mother. It's possible to get angry and shout without it leading to physical violence.

    I still think the video is unfunny shite. I don't see anything offensive or 'toxic' in it though. And the woman is annoying as fuck (although so is he).

    I wonder if you might be overreacting to getting called out on your nonsense.

    If I was you, I'd respond to this post by accusing me of overreacting.
