lol the reason he is so funny is a lot of people dont get his humor, and because hes been trying to make interviews with idiots funny for so long he thrives off the awkwardness of other people.. if anything he seems the opposite of vulnerable, and also a lot more aware/intellectual than most people, especially like the 2 idiot presenters. he doesnt give a fuck
I dunno why but this made me feel really rather sad ... I can see where he is trying to get to, his point of view, but it's as though he's over-analysed it into the ground... I believe he is trying to say, be open and be aware and enjoy the moment for what it is - take time to stand still .. instead (to me) he seems so sad, overthought, trying too hard and just ... awkward ? I've left watching this feeling "hmmmm ?? "
who is watching television at nine in the morning...if your up for work you'd be at work by nine..and if you dont have to get up for work that early you'd still be in bed surely...
I think the whole Russell brain tumor thing he said is exaggerated by the media because as he explained it later on, he only restated what the presenters said. Bill and Sian were the awkward ones in my opinion in that they didn't go along with the humor.
@xxxGOLDENGALxxx Wow! See these stupid YouTube comment blazes all the time but never seen someone conduct themselves with such integrity. Well done. And I agree with you btw, it's a shame for all women he's a gay man. Lucky for me, so am I. :-)
Funny guy. Might even get his vid. By his own admission though, he sometimes fails to treat people like 'human beings' in his attempts at humour, as displayed by his last comment.
I love how it all ended up with Simon interviewing them instead of the other way around. It's great to see that his sharp mind works even at that early hour, even though he looks really tired.
@icecool1065 and @legendsxdie123 - Leave @xxxGOLDENGALxxx the fuck alone. She said nothing bad, at all. If anything, her observation should be commended -- Simon Amstell is a brilliant addition to the male population. I am heterosexual, and even I have a crush on him...
@icecool1065 I don't really know who pissed in your cornflakes, or what your problem with what I've said is? Perhaps you could explain what your issue is and I can explain myself, cos I genuinely didn't mean anything harmful, cruel, mean, homophobic or heterophobic by what I said. I'm sorry if I've offended you, but I really don't understand what I've done?
@legendsxdie123 I have absolutely no problem with Simon Amstell being gay. Really I don't. I was just saying that he's a really sweet, funny, cute guy and is a loss to the female population in general. But a great gain to the male population. I hope I have made my point clear. Goodbye now.
@icecool1065 I could commentate on your inexplicable urge to call someone a moron and a hag, when said person does not have to be either. One might say you are a bitter old fart, or perhaps have an amazing superiority complex. Though in essence, I figured you were just experiencing angry emotions.
To be entirely honest, the interviewers were extremely hostile right from the start, and his comment about Russell Watson wasn't even that bad! There have been a lot worse comments on TV that go unnoticed. I hate how the newspapers went on and on about how offensive it was, yet if you watch the video Simon is visibly nervous from the start due to the ignorant, hostile and rude interviewers.*
When I first watched 'Do nothing', I couldn't concentrate because all I could think of was "Why is this man single?" - He's bloody gorgeous and lovely!
@xxxGOLDENGALxxx I understand you completely. I've gone through several British gay celebrity crushes - John Barrowman, Stephen Fry and now Simon... shame really
..lol this is why they sacked Simon from T4, Simon will say EXACTLY what the more discerning viewers are thinking and NOT what the liberal media and the general brain-dead sheep public are thinking.
@Cheshirecat55 ...There is a difference between the liberal media/government and liberal people. Liberal Media and Government is actually an Oxymoron.
@Cheshirecat55 Well the Liberal Media & Government are Liberal to a point until it cannot serve their personal interests for example political correctness which in itself contradicts the whole notion of Liberality.
He's so cute here! If I was ever interviewed I'm afraid I'd have to steal his pose!! I can't believe he's 30! He's like a hot hyper hilarious 15year old!! I don't understand what's so offensive about his last sentence... He stated that the man had a brain tumor...
i felt that was unfair to simon. the interviewers just started like. "hello. you're a very awkward young man. tell us more" ... doesn't give him a lot of room lol
I always used to think these BBC presenters were alright, but after watching this, Simon seems to have somehow made them look pretty stupid while they sit there lying and pretending to get/appreciate what he's on about.
what a couple of assholes. those interviewers. prick/dick and cunt. i think simon is great. he's very intelligent. and he's funny. i only watched this because of him. the two uncomfortably built cocks doing the interview, yes, very mis-shapen and not so attractive but appealing to the couch potatoe types, yes, them, were out of order. yet they love this "russell" who ever he was.
Everyone is entitled to an opinion mine is he is no comic, he is someone who just thinks a cheap laugh is ok especially if its aimed at someone who has gone through a serious illness and it would not be funny to all of those who have been effected by a cancer or serious illness, what next take the piss out of the mentally ill? Go Simon Go !!! what a prick! grow up! stop acting like a complete creep! Cant wait for your next Hospice Tour !
He wasn't making fun of Russel Watson, he was making fun of the fact that the entertainment industry, including this show, has used Russel's illness to sell his records. I wouldn't expect someone with your reactionary nature to know the difference.
Haha, he said that in irony right after he said that he wished he'd been a bit more sensitive to human emotion. Bit too far, but IT WAS FUNNY, RIGHT? Love Simon.
he looks ill and slightly underweight -- aww si i know thin is your thing but try to stay healthy. cant wait for next series of grandma's house!! :D:D:D
These interviewers are proof that when someone thoughtful and introspective and honest wants to deliver something meaningful, they curl up defensively. They expected Simon to answer all the easy questions and jump through hoops, but he gave them much more than they were capable of comprehending. But they couldn't be gracious and try to stay along his line of thought, Instead they were just shallow pricks about it and him.
I really don't get this. I mean the interviewers are terrible, and totally at odds with him, but how can he interview people so confidently and then be so awkward in interviews himself?? I hated him on popworld and buzzcocks but I adore his standup and Grandma's house. It's a kind of bizarre split personality to have
@mryoung1989 It's not a split personality.You just have to understand how introverted people think and feel. Introverted people are comfortable having the focus on someone else instead of themselves. They do well as an interviewer. If the focus switches to them there is more risk of them being judged and that makes introverted people really uncomfortable. Therefore, not the best interviewees. Plus, introverted people like to think about deep stuff. Interviewers like to stick to the superficial.
@monkeyflowers As an introverted person, I find the idea of being on stage infront of people incredibly uncomfortable, as I don't want all that attention on myself, as you put it. I don't think you can make such a huge generalisation. And because a person is introverted doesn't mean they are 'deep', although of course this can be the case, just as it can be with extroverts. I'm not disagreeing that SImon is a complex person, but I just find these mass sweeping generalisations slightly bizarre.
@mryoung1989 I'll take the general out of it then. I am basing what I said off of what Simon said. When he is on stage HE is the one doing the self-deprecating jokes about himself. That means he's in control of the judgment. When he sat for the interview the judgement was out of his hands and put into the interviewers, thus at the beginning he said, "I'm nervous." I'm an introvert too and I know all introverts are not the same. I just think it doesn't mean he has a split personality.
@mryoung1989 I find it incredibly uncomfortable to be on stage too. I think that if a person wants something bad enough though they can train themselves to perform well at extroverted things and even appear extroverted, purely because they practice so much. Stand up and television may seem effortless and natural at times but it's mostly rehearsed. Whereas, an interview usually is not. That's my reasoning behind my statements. I agree with you too though.
Is it really awkward that he reminds me a lot of my brother...? Probably. Wow, I am glad that, out there, somewhere in the world, there is a celebrity who is actually smart and very much himself. I mean, he actually said that a lot of famous people really do sell their lives and make themselves cheap and that they should be treated that way because of it. I think it's amazing that he had the courage to say that! Everyone was thinking that anyway!
Simon's very much on his own wavelength. Having a bit of a nervy break. Come on though, it's really not that bad. Quite funny. They want to stick to the form, he wants to break them into little pieces to discuss abstractions he can't understand himself, it's all very itself, really.
I think BBC breakfast should stop interviewing celebrities, it just doesn't work on the news and of course they're shit at interviewing people just report the news and get on with it
damn son, he needs to go back to makin fun of celebrities to their faces. when he doesn't he's super annoying.

@mryoung1989 It's not a split personality.You just have to understand how introverted people think and feel. Introverted people are comfortable having the focus on someone else instead of themselves. They do well as an interviewer. If the focus switches to them there is more risk of them being judged and that makes introverted people really uncomfortable. Therefore, not the best interviewees. Plus, introverted people like to think about deep stuff. Interviewers like to stick to the superficial.

@monkeyflowers As an introverted person, I find the idea of being on stage infront of people incredibly uncomfortable, as I don't want all that attention on myself, as you put it. I don't think you can make such a huge generalisation. And because a person is introverted doesn't mean they are 'deep', although of course this can be the case, just as it can be with extroverts. I'm not disagreeing that SImon is a complex person, but I just find these mass sweeping generalisations slightly bizarre.

@mryoung1989 I'll take the general out of it then. I am basing what I said off of what Simon said. When he is on stage HE is the one doing the self-deprecating jokes about himself. That means he's in control of the judgment. When he sat for the interview the judgement was out of his hands and put into the interviewers, thus at the beginning he said, "I'm nervous." I'm an introvert too and I know all introverts are not the same. I just think it doesn't mean he has a split personality.

@mryoung1989 I find it incredibly uncomfortable to be on stage too. I think that if a person wants something bad enough though they can train themselves to perform well at extroverted things and even appear extroverted, purely because they practice so much. Stand up and television may seem effortless and natural at times but it's mostly rehearsed. Whereas, an interview usually is not. That's my reasoning behind my statements. I agree with you too though.

@monkeyflowers Fair enough, it makes more sense to me after the explanation!

They are really fucking annoying. They are treating him like a little kid.

Is it really awkward that he reminds me a lot of my brother...? Probably. Wow, I am glad that, out there, somewhere in the world, there is a celebrity who is actually smart and very much himself. I mean, he actually said that a lot of famous people really do sell their lives and make themselves cheap and that they should be treated that way because of it. I think it's amazing that he had the courage to say that! Everyone was thinking that anyway!

Simon's very much on his own wavelength. Having a bit of a nervy break. Come on though, it's really not that bad. Quite funny. They want to stick to the form, he wants to break them into little pieces to discuss abstractions he can't understand himself, it's all very itself, really.

I think BBC breakfast should stop interviewing celebrities, it just doesn't work on the news and of course they're shit at interviewing people just report the news and get on with it
