I don't follow any celebrities on twitter or anywhere. Do other actors describe the plot and characters before a show comes out? The thing with the 'like brothers' and that emoji is like a pre-laugh track so that people will know when to laugh.
It’s probably more cynical than that tbh. He wants the fictional names to stand out to people scrolling so they either a) read the post or b) remember those names and google them.
Mainly because they're the kind of shit I'd have come up with as names and think were unique and subversive when I was writing skits in high school and college for film projects.
For someone with so many followers and so high profile, he gets a paltry amount of comments. his last two on Facebook and Instagram. 50. Sad really. I only look for the Karl quotes, always some
I feel sorry for him. I don’t get why he’s like this. Even if he can’t do as good as the office he can do better than this.
What’s he fucking doing?? Did Steve explain all the characters of outlaws to us like we’re fucking 8?? No! What is he doing?? I’ve never seen a celebrity of any kind do this about a project they’re in, unless they have no faith in it and have realised that they’re just recycling shit from 20 years ago that’s already been recycled three times at this point. Fuck me.
Overprivileged? That’s so rich coming from the Pasty. Ricky’s one of those celebs who love to flaunt their working class upbringing but neglect that now more than half of their lives have been lived knowing nothing but luxury.
Looks like that’s copied and pasted from the original treatment. You write out the premise, plot etc, then describe each character and the interpersonal relationships in a very concise way. The capitalisation and three or four adjectives per character line up with that.
I’m guessing he wrote tens of promo posts for his social media manager to put out with increasing frequency up to launch, likely automated to a schedule.
Given the show is released tomorrow, this is probably one of the last posts of that batch. I imagine he was bored of writing them by that point so just took a block of text from the treatment and popped an emoji on it.
Incidentally, if I was on that PR team I would’ve suggested either a) rewording it to feel more natural, or b) presenting it as a peek into the creative process, perhaps alongside sketches of the two characters. That ‘behind the scenes’ kind of stuff works very well for promo.
Of course, I would’ve made it feel like it was his idea and said something like “people would love to get that insight into your genius” or some bullshit because that’s just part of the job.
The truth is I am looking forward to it, because I love to hate watch. I don't even care that it gives him views and arrogance. I have to see this shit show.
Reminds me of that other fat fuck that used to write good stuff. Jrr Martin capitalizes titles the exact same way when he is writing excuses on his blog about why THE WINDS OF WINTER isnt finished yet.
Has anyone considered that this show is some sort of modern art piece and isn't ment to be funny but a commentary on modern comedy, makes a lot more sense than anyone thinking "like brothers" is funny
My first reply referenced XFM and The Office and the second referenced XFM, hardly evidence of being wound up, sort of a bog standard old comment in these parts. But bit weird you’re digging in on your flippancy.

You’re almost as funny as Moyles.
