The writer and comedian on admiring John Updike, crying over Station Eleven and laughing at Alan Partridge

I’m listening to À la recherche du temps perdu on audiobook. I find it helps with the hoovering. I’m also rereading Roger’s Version by John Updike, which – as well as being about adultery, as per – is also about religion and physics, similar to my play God’s Dice. It’s slightly frightening, considering I last read it in the 80s, how much it subconsciously influenced that play.Rabbit Is Rich by John Updike – there’s going to be a lot of Updike.

PhillipsBarrie Nor, it would appear, any kind of self awareness at all. Including any kind of comprehension of the meaning of the words ' D-List Hasbeen'

Call him a c*nt and he'll have you banned.

PhillipsBarrie Sociopath?

Narcissistic has-been sociopath promoted by a paper that lies daily about being on the left and against racism. Only surprising thing here would be if the loathsome Baddiel were actually able to be funny for once.

We know all about it with your refusal to apologise over blackface Baddiel

🤢🤢🤢 but proud of it it seems

Couldn't care less what anyone jokes about, especially Baddiel. Just be funny and try not to be a hypocrite. He isn't funny. Propped up by Newman and, later, Skinner. Coasted ever since. He's untouchable though when it comes to light racism. Wonder why.

I once thought it sad that Rob Newman apparently distanced himself completely. But the loveliness of how Rob comes across rather makes it an innevitable, indeed honourable, distancing.

It’s a little late for you to suddenly develop any level of critical self awareness

He doesn't really have humour as a skill either.......

Well, he should!

Baddiel - the racist that blacked up. He is a low life

You should try it, after everything you've done.. Gobshite

We’re well aware of this.

Baddiel doesn’t have anything except a blue tick & an ugly midlife crisis. He knows it, we know it, & he knows we know it. Which is why he keeps trying. He’s the biggest try hard out there. He’s the guy every one laughs at, not with. The guy’s a disingenuous prat. Punto.

Well I bloody never

Total narcissist.

That’s fairly obvious.

So you're shameless...

We'd noticed, but who cares?

Nice thread, David... if you don't do shame. 🤷‍♂️

we know

Has he apologised to Jason Lee yet?! Baddiel

You surprise me. 🙄

David Badeial is just dunning Kruger plus time.

Indeed; as we know when you just made up a statistic about Labour party members & didn't apologise, admit wrong doing or show any shame. The corrupt BBC backed you up despite them agreeing it was factually wrong. Ironically it was on a show called New World Order.

Clearly.

I don't understand why you are platforming a known racist who went 'blackface' on national TV and ruined a black man's career? It seems like a terrible editorial decision.

He's not funny either.

This is David's anthem now

Haha yeah no shit

And he doesn't have humour as a tool he just is one.

Arsehole.

Self confessed Sociopath, like we didn't know already. YAWN

What's next after this scoop? Big news about where Bears shit?

Probably a pedophile or sociopath.

Him, David Starkey, Johnson, Trump ... none of them have any shame about their racist exploits.

We know.

Needed to know that.... thanks...

In other news, water is wet and the sun is hot.

Obviously otherwise he would have apologised for his racism

But if you want 'smug', he's your guy 👍

Really wish you did, though.

Basically depraved then?

Isn’t that a sociopath? I think you will find it is? He’s a bunion on the earth!!

Evidently

No shit Sherlock.

😁😁👍 👍

We knew that

His head is too far up his own arse

We kind of guessed that by how he ruined Jason Lee's life.

It's probably the most truthful and sadly funny statement (not in a good way) Baddiel has ever said.

Sounds about right

And Guardian writers had the temerity to call Corbyn’s Twitter support “an echo chamber” 🙄

That does explain a lot baddiel. Not much of a mensch.

shame

Why are you platforming this racist?

'Elite means Jews' His words not mine.

really?

baddiel. utter twunt. always has been.

we know

We noticed

Twat

no shit

next time you interview him can you ask him if he's planning to apologise to Jason Lee

Can't believe he never apologised for the blackface. What a dick.

Why does this irrelevance still get attention?

Writing children’s fiction is the new appearing in panto.

He feels no shame over dehumanising Jason Lee..

I think we already knew that!

That’s probably not good, Dave

People who think blackface is just a fun joke usually don't. This guy has much bigger skeletons in his closet. You can't be this confident otherwise

That'll explain the blackface

'Frank Skinner's unfunny mate'

But he does have hypocrisy as a standard feature.

Don’t like him but some unreal shouts in there . Updike rabbit series is incredible and the recognition of the Partridge book as a comic masterpiece

Why are you promoting this racist's book?

Explains the lack of appology to Jason Lee

We know

Nothing to brag about. Shame is one of the most important emotions in civilisations.

Hahaha no shit

we gathered

we know

Same here

I can’t imagine being so full of self-importance, conviction you’re right, egotism, and bereft of empathy and compassion that you’re unable to feel shame.

that would explain the seriously clouded judgement, wouldn't it?

I thought that was all white guys...🤷🏾‍♂️

Being shamelessly shameless is refreshing but not admirable but still refreshing 😈😹😹😹😹

Not even for doing a “comedy” show with Michael Gove?

So he's a sociopath?

Bear: 'We shit in the woods'

We've noticed

I know that I’ve heard him sing

As funny as chlamydia. 😭

Who knew?!?!

we know

Now that’s just shameless

Brutal and bizarre: the story of how Wigan collapsed into administration | David ConnOn the day Au Yeung took ownership after a £41m purchase he decided not to fund the club, and an investigation is now due Surely yet again the EFL have done nothing what is the point of a fit and proper owners test if these total idiots end up in charge of football clubs just like bury fc the EFL are complicit in the demise of yet another club the EFL board should resign... The whole saga stinks to high heaven, i am at a loss to why the league approved the change of ownership? Where did the new buyer suddenly get the money to pay IEC? Did IEC loan them the money, and we're now stuck with the loan repayments? The whole thing screams fraud, but I bet it's very very legal...
