Simon Bird (Inbetweeners) 'can no longer listen to' Morrissey (January 27, 2023)

“I refuse to give up on The Smiths, but the cognitive dissonance that’s required to listen to Morrissey now is too much. It’s a shame because it’s an incredible song.”
The song is Now My Heart is Full.

Another one of these massive overly PC hive mind retards. How we love them.

The king of low brow comedy has spoken.

Apologising for liking a song - bad faith epitomised

 

[Thewlis]

What a disastrous human being. Never heard of him either…

Tens of people know this person.. less than that care about anything he has to say about any subject.

Simon Bird was Deaf

 

[Stephen Hofmann]

The Inbetweeners was one of the least politically correct tv shows about teens ever made but ok Simon.

 

[The Wild Turkey]

Sometimes they just need to whine.

Far from the first person I was going to be going to for recommendations anyroads.

Hahaha wow, this is quite rich considering the target audience for the "comedy" show he hails from. I had the unfortunate experience of it exploding in popularity at school and it was always the most obnoxious people parroting lines endlessly. By his own standards no one should revisit his work either.

I can't wrap my head 'round the logic of this. Morrissey is as much involved in The Smiths as he is in his solo work. Perhaps even more so, if you consider the sleeve designs. Who does he think wrote The Smiths' lyrics?

 

[NealCassidy]

Front page news???

 

[Young And Alive]

Oh boo f***ing hoo.

 

[eugenius]

I don't know who this bozo is, but this statement only tells us that he can't think for himself. Weird flex.

 

[Rodney Shortwang]

Inbetweeners? What is that? Are they those annoying guys who did that "I Would Walk 8000 Miles" song?

 

[On his way out]

Don’t forget his quality work in Friday Night Dinner. Why the urge on this site to putting down the critic as a person?
