This is a normal post I agree.
Limmy just is not that good. I do not get it at all.

This is a normal post Looking for a conspiracy?
I think he's popular here because:
1/ Before the show he used to do all kinds of clever internet things that tickled /links' fancy &
2/ It's a bit different from the bog-standard UK tv comedy.
...and 3/ not forgetting that comedy is ridiculously subjective.

This is a normal post He is popular pretty much for what Tab Hunter says
But also, here is the story of Citizen Khan:

I actually am one of the few that found Citizen Khan funny, but that show was an idea in a commissioner's head to have a comedy to appeal to a Pakistani and broader audience.

Pretty much the only Pakistani comedic character on the BBC had been Adil Ray in Bellamy's People - so the clever comedy commissioner called him, Anil Gupta and Richard Pinto and said, come up with a sitcom pilot for that character you used to do, and given it is the only bit of comedy with a diverse element we can assure you it will get finance.

And the rest, as they say, is coke and pats on the backs for the comedy bosses over at the old Beeb.

-------------

This is why people like Limmy. He fucks about with a comedy format. That is refreshing.

I am pretty sure people used to stare blankly at Monty Python, and it took me fucking ages to get what Harry Hill was trying to do with his Fruit Corner/Fancies. I have no fucking clue what Mrs Brown's Boys is all about. And though I get why Outnumbered should be good, and Him and Her and Hepburn and so on.. I just don't have the energy to watch them.

I say all that to prove that I am a humourless twat too.

This is a normal post I think the Python anaolgy's spot on. I used to find them funny, but can't bear re-watching it. Very much of its time. Like Limmy probably.
Also Limmy, as you say, fucks around with the format- he's not always out for the belly laughs. This I can enjoy again & again, but A dozen Tina Turners in a contest to see who's "The Best" is a funny concept rather than LOL slapstick.

This is a normal post I like the show for one reason
It makes me chuckle. Hit and miss with some, yes, but when he nails it, it's a belter.

SO THERE!
