Ayoade is one funny fucker. His deadpan humour never fails to make me laugh.
I first saw him in Garth Meringhi's Dark Place in the early 2000's. I reckon that's your kind of thing, if you aren't familiar with it.
I am not. I will check it out, thanks.
He first came to my attention in Travel Man.
It's a horror series parody. Garth Meringhi, a narcissistic (and awful) horror writer had a low budget series called 'Dark Place' commissioned in the 80's.
The series never aired and was lost for some time. Meringhi got hold of the tapes and then was given a broadcasting slot. He introduces every episode.
It's weird, and quite unique. I loved it. Though when I first stumbled on it, it was about 1am after taking acid... Confused didn't cover it.

What's the latest with the inquiry into his finances?
Because I think there is going to be another by-election soon there because Farage will be in Miami grifting on their talk show circuit.
Probably why Burnham is angling for next April for a possible General Election - because Farage (Seymour from Rising Damp) will be gone!
Pretty sure he'd win another election there, Clacton is "special place".

Won't he just quit and leave politics this time?
I used to think so but not after these Bond Villians have given him tens of millions, they will want a return on that money, they own him now, i doubt they would let him walk away, you dance with the devil you have to wait for the ride to stop.
The follow up comment “looks like he’s dying for a crypto” was pretty funny also.
Was it?
Ayode almost as unfunny as Nish Kumar, The Crystal Maze reboot with him as the presenter flopped massively and was axed a bit like Kumar's unfunny Mash rubbish axed on the BBC and even axed when it moved to Dave.
Worth a read, probably a bit long for our Conformers.
Remoaner John Grace of The remoaning Guardian. desperate, Codswallop Cadwalladr AKA Mad Cat Lady sued https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-65644475, maybe the failng Guardian wants to go bankrupt . Backtracker Burnham had to backtrack again on his Russia claims, made to look a right wallybrain yesterday, a serial liar like Starmer before him. The public are seeing right through him and his deflection tactics over the UAE bungs... and yet more prisoners released early to reoffend

Yeah, pretty rubbish. Hislop's quip about him needing a crypto was especially poor from him, he usually at least has a bit of wit about him - but there's no pun there about 'needing a crypto' it doesn't sound anything like need a dump, does it. But I think left-wing comedy is just crap in general, I look at their comedian's like Nish Kumar and Howard Russell and just think wow, these people are so fvcking dull, so safe, zero creativity.
