For the last few weeks Richard Littlejohn has been incredibly boring. It is a struggle to get through the mundane gibberish that he writes. You could basically summarise his last few weeks output as stating that 'Gordon Brown smells'. Amusingly he described Gordon Brown as 'earning a fortune', yet Gordon Brown is paid a fraction of Littlejohns £800,000 annual salary earned for writing painfully unclever and unfunny 'satire'.
As boring, repetitive and numbingly unfunny his articles are one cannot but help fall in love with some of the comments made on them. Littlejohn has long been protected from criticism by the Daily Mail moderators, but recently more and more dissent seems to be getting through and some of them puts his effort at humour and satire to shame.
On Littlejohn's latest failed attempt at being clever and funny ('A Kray Twins exclusive! "We acted at all times within the rules"') this comment somehow got through:
You remind me of George Foreman coming out for the 8th round Richard.
You've unloaded everything you've got on Gordon and now you're throwing the same old punches, except now the whole arena can see them coming a mile off.
Gordon's definitely on the ropes, he's been there for six rounds, but he's just soaking up the punishment and getting on with the job.
You've hit him with Delboy, Python and the old Waterman one-two of Minder and The Sweeney.
But he's still there.
Trying to go low with cockney villains isn't going to shift him.
You know, I think you're being rope-a-doped.
I fully expect Gordon to bounce off the ropes next spring and lay you out with a ferocious combination, then stand over your prostrate body and proclaim:
"It's the economy, Stupid!"

Wonderful, and it doesn't end there:
Richard, read what Dave from Edinburgh posted.
That's how you do satire.

But it's not hard to make Richard Littlejohn look stupid because he is stupid. Some people argue that Littlejohn is an intelligent guy who simply writes what earns money, he is essentially writing fiction for a following of idiots, rather than being an idiot himself. However, I think the evidence suggests that Richard Littlejohn is actually thick.
For example, look at what happens when he is actually confronted with someone vaguely intelligent who asks awkward questions, he shits himself and sweats profusely. Look at how he constantly bemoans bins not being changed at least once a week and blaming it as another PC-gone-mad-save-the-Polar-bears scheme created by the Labour Government, yet - looking at the BBC site - it appears that the vast majority of councils are Tory run, so surely Tory councils are equally culpable for bins not being emptied every few minutes. Not that this matters to a man who lives in Florida anyway.
Another amusing thing about the comments if the efforts made by Mailwatch posters to get comments in mocking the 'ur so funny richard, you should be pm' comments. A lot have got through:
Spot on Sir Richard! Your Krays skit had my wife screeching so loud the neighbours though we had intruders in our home so they dialled 999! You're fresh and original. Keep it up Sir!!!

Richard. You've done it again. Your article had Mrs Noggett laughing so hard; I thought she'd turned into a cackling witch!
I'm speechless about that woman claiming for a haystack on her expenses. She even has the cheek to publish pictures of them together. I blame Gordon McPole Cat Brown.
When are you going to run for PM Richard? I'm sure your expenses would be cheaper, despite having to commute from Florida.

Remember, skim read Richard Littlejohn and get to the comments, that is where the real humour is to be found. |
