History Series / LimmysShow

** Snippets from ''Oxygène'' by Music/JeanMichelJarre are featured prominently in the ''Adventure Call'' sketches.

A Scottish SketchComedy written and directed by Brian Limond, ''Limmy's Show!'' has a cast of himself and others in sketches that often are surreal in nature. Limmy plays a host of characters that often mock certain stereotypes of people in everyday life, while also occasionally having a fictionalized version of himself making comedic observations on the absurdity of the world around him.

With the success of Limmy's previous endeavors as a live performer and podcaster, the BBC ordered for a 6 episode series that premiered on January 11, 2010. A second series was done after in 2011, with the third and final series of Limmy's Show aired on November 12, 2012. A Christmas Special however, was done in December of 2013. Limmy, an avid social media user, went on Twitter to say that he didn't want to continue Limmy's Show in lieu for another BBC pilot he's working on.

* AcceptableBreaksFromReality: Many of Limmy's sketches have this. In response to people thinking his show sucks, Limmy interrupts a sketch just to say a MST3KMantra for them.
* {{Main/Breaking the Fourth Wall}}: When playing as himself, Limmy does this to get the audience's attention for his observational commentary.

* HomeVersionSoundtrackReplacement: The version of the show on Netflix removed some of the copyrighted music and either replaced them with generic pieces (as with the Adventure Call theme, or "Holiday Rap" used in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Y22NHkZ904 this sketch]]) or cut those scenes altogether (as with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nv6Ec5P-63k this sketch]] from [=S02E01=]).

* {{Main/Phone In Game Shows}}: Parodied with the ''Adventure Call'' sketches with Falconhoof, which parodied text adventure games and phone-in game shows with erratic callers.

* TapOnTheHead: Averted. When Limmy [[spoiler: brings his laptop bag down full force onto a mugger's head]], the audible ''squish'' sound and the way [[spoiler:the mugger]] just crumples to the ground make it clear that he is ''not'' okay.

* ProductPlacement: One of the "adventures" from ''Adventure Call'' is basically just a lengthy advertisement for a fictional soda called "Barry's Red Cola".

** ''Dream Scheme'', a made up show featured in Series 3, is clearly a parody of ''Series/Balamory''.

** Dee Dee has a poster for ''Music/TheOrb'' in his bedroom, and music from the group are used in his sketches.

* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: Wee Gary and John Paul are never seen in person, the former because Limmy likely couldn't convincingly portray a small child, and the latter because his segments all take place in POVCam.

* {{Main/Phone In Game Shows}}: Parodied with the ''Adventure Call'' skits, with host Falconhoof getting erratic callers all the time.

* EruditeStoner: Parodied with the character of Dee Dee. In one sketch relating to a CD compilation commercial, Dee Dee tells that he often spots out things that nobody usually does. He describes this ability as due to the fact that he doesn't work.
