In times like these, we need Balloon Writing Guy more than ever

The collective Jackass cast should do the Criterion Closet, which we now know to be a van, while the van goes speeding down the highway careening round corners and the Jackass boys fly into the shelves trying to pick out and discuss art house films the entire time.

The Safdies should make a stressful kids movie about how Santa gets it all done in one night

Being back at my parents got me feeling all sorts of ways. Was just doing dishes and saw a particular fork and said “god I’ve not seen you in a while”

The energy I’m bringing at the dinner table the second someone brings up ChatGPT

The amount of songs that know a key change and sax solo is an option and don’t is a fucking disgrace

At SNL I worked with artists who made the funniest, stupidest graphics in no time flat. Some of my biggest jokes would have been impossible without these geniuses building an insane image or finding the perfect real-life photo of a politician. Sucks that their work is being pushed aside for slop.

Let this be the motto of the AI movement.

RIP Jay Gatsby, you’d have loved party 4 u by Charli XCX

I’ve been silent about this long enough, seeing ITVX programming on Disney+ makes me sick to my stomach.

We did it everyone. We made men embarrassed to read books by women in public once again. Great work.

I’m sorry you think I “ruined” your Gatsby-themed party by sleeping with your wife and dying in the pool.

Me: I feel like maybe I don't allow myself to be happy because deep down there's a part of me that believes I don't deserve to be, you know? Dr Loomis: *scribbling notes* dead eyes pure evil

They say A.I. can replace our jobs but I’d like to see A.I. quickly burn out and make the overall environment toxic. Okay I’m being told that’s the main thing it does.

Waiting patiently for my 3G to search and save Don Draper I Don’t Think About You At All Meme so I can win this argument.

I can’t help but notice you’ve not immediately paid me for the invoice it took me seven months to get round to sending you.

Head barista: So I'm thinking we offer rolls, full breakfasts, hot drinks to sit in or takeaway... Tim Robinson character in the back: yeah and what if the whole cafe could be dracula themed

some awful nice timbers you’ve got there be a shame if someone were to shiver them

Dinner - CANNOT have the same thing twice in 1 week or so help me god - Need veg, protein, carbs, all the groups - Need to clean 8 dishes - All day's been leading up to this, don't fuck it up Breakfast - Same shit every day - Hot coffee - Cereal - Smash hit every time - The best

There is an epidemic amongst young men and it’s looking at your phone at the urinal. Look at you, you’re doing it right now.

I genuinely believe raincoats that are yellow are more waterproof and there’s no science to back that up

Love this picture of Batman with a tablet like he’s about to tell you there’s a 50 minute wait for a table but he can seat you at the bar

After the films about Dylan going electric and Springsteen going acoustic, I cannot wait for the 2+ hour Oscar bait biopic all about when Tom Waits went full Cookie Monster

David Lynch was my favourite director and I’m absolutely floored by his loss. Here’s the stupid joke of mine he inspired. Thanks for everything David.

Can’t believe it’s that time already.

Not sure what to get that special someone for Christmas? Well it was two days ago so I’m sorry. You’ve fucked it. Anyway I’m bringing a new Work In Progress to Glasgow Comedy Festival in March and tickets are on sale now. www.glasgowcomedyfestival.com/performances...

In the spirit of Christmas I'm going to use my first post to draw attention to something by @cbthorburn.bsky.social that has greatly improved my enjoyment of Jingle Bell Rock

she’s perfect

The original tweet made me laugh so uncontrollably that my family made coasters out of it

Members of the jury, I ask you: why do we enjoy Mars? Is it the flavour? The texture? Or is it the great big throbbing vein?

Amazing night at Drygate Comedy Lab. Sad to see it go but @cbthorburn.bsky.social & all the acts tonight did a fuckin' incredible job as always.

Put all the Scottish and Scotland based comedians I'm aware of on here in this starter pack. I think, I probably missed people, I'm sorry. go.bsky.app/JecbjH2
