Germans Love David Hasselhoff: The show is unusually popular among Americans, in part due to the sheer absurdity of the series meshing well with American meme culture.
"What's heavier: a kilogram of steel, or a kilogram of feathers?"Explanation A question posed by Limmy to the audience, when an expert tries to convince Limmy that a kilogram of anything is the same weight. The bit became a popular subject of parody, often surrounding The Ditz in other works; Limmy's confused expression additionally became a popular reaction image.
"She's turned the weans against us!"
"Wa-ah. Pure wa-ah."
"Benny Harvey RIP"Explanation At one point, Limmy interrupts one of his own skits (about a pair of 80's metalheads enjoying an A Ha song) to suggest randomly writing or posting "Benny Harvey R.I.P." somewhere in a public space, and/or adding other remembrance quotes to the writing if it is encountered, such as "Miss ya big man" or "Gone but not forgotten", as an apparent bit to get people to memorialize a completely fabricated person. Unsurprisingly, eulogies to Mr. Harvey soon became viral among the Limmy fandom.
"It's shut"Explanation Limmy pointing at himself situated in various places, and the final Limmy is attempting to get up to the Glasgow tower to finish the bit, but shouts the quote in response. The whole skit is basically a Take That! by Limmy towards the Glasgow city council, as the tower (The Glasgow/Millenium Tower, designed to be a freestanding, wind-guided observation tower that can rotate 360 degrees to always face the wind) was notorious for its numerous mechanical issues and failures, and was unceremoniously closed not long after its initial opening.
Fallout: New GlasgowExplanation Youtuber MarioInATopHat made an edit of the aforementioned video, playing the clip overlaid with "Big Iron" and making the numerous zoom-ins of Limmy look like V.A.T.S. targeting; when the "player" finally reaches the tower, they unlock it with console commands and head inside, only to be mobbed by an army of Easy Pete clones. The sheer absurdity and random humor of the short manages retain the feel of Limmy's Show, while also giving it the feel of some sort of lost Fallout: New Vegas gameplay clip. Several viewers have also pointed out that the city of Glasgow is doing itself no favors, making the entire city look like a wasteland itself due to the fact that Limmy is the only one ever seen on camera.
Limmy is Thom YorkeExplanation The uncanny physical resemblance between Brian Limond and the frontman of Radiohead did not go unnoticed, and consequently it became common to jokingly compare the two to one another, with even Limond himself joining in.
More Popular Replacement: The entire supporting cast in the first series, consisting of Raymond Mearns, Tom Brogan, and Debbie Welsh, was replaced with Paul McCole, Alan McHugh, and Kirstin McLean, and it is this second cast that most fans remember. Reportedly, Limond had originally intended to make each series with a new supporting cast, but liked McCole, McHugh, and McLean so much that he kept them on for the third series.
Nightmare Fuel: A good chunk of the shows sketches seem to be this, crossing into Surreal Horror most of the time, such as one sketch where Limmy imagines himself relaxing in minestrone soup, to him looking up and imagining his coworkers dead and bloodied, it seems you need to have a pretty dark sense of humour to get what is going on.
