Hey Limmy - I’m just 3 months into a 600 year prison sentence for the cannibalistic murder of 87 women and children, so as you can imagine I’m a bit down in the dumps - these videos are a real treat, helping me forget my troubles. Thanks and all the best x
@@avlpe7662 Not in the Barras, I'm from Manchester, but this brings back memories of me as a 13 year old travelling 30 minutes on a bus to Cheetham Hill to meet up with an older lad, hand over a fiver and get passed a brown shipping envelope full of 3.5" disks loaded with ST and Amiga Warez compilations from groups like Automation and Fairlight, good times :)
I always remember when I was in first year in Glasgow Uni, just arrived from Northern Ireland and someone told me to go to the barras one weekend. There was a jakey guy trying to sell 1 shoe and a wee van selling "sea food" that smelt really off and was stinking the whole place out. Was a baptism of fire. Bought a load of pirate cds, happy days 🤣
So weird but me and my wife were shagging there with our usual RUclips playlist of shagging tunes and this video randomly came on the sequence. Even weirder we both just ploughed on. I was watching this whilst rattling her up the Miller and Carter (I.e Farter) and we were both just laughing away. Thanks
Limmy nails these stereotypes to a tee. Craig then drops out after spending too much time at underground art school parties drinking hooch, gets a job at the politics bar and evolves into Malcolm Malcolm by his 30s.
Spot on with that vinegar and sickly sweet smell description, it cracked me up as I instantly remembered it, and flashbacked to digging about for cheap singles (records!) on a sunday. I wonder what that smell was, but I dareny think about it too much.
This story is a strong lesson in humility, flexibility, and the real challenges of business. It shows that true business skill isn't just about book knowledge or big ideas, but about understanding and handling different situations, dealing with tough people, and making the best of hard times. Craig's story is a clear reminder of the difference between school learning and real-world application. It emphasizes the need for adaptability, hands-on experience, and the ability to navigate various and tough environments in business.The hard lessons Craig learns at the Barrows could be very valuable in his future, making him a more complete and resilient person.
Why is it one of your favourites? My favourites if I had to choose are ‘dodgy cookie’ and ‘facebook friend only, doesn’t really like him’, although there’s so many others which are also genius, too many to mention. I think this one, which you’d expect from the title to be perfect class dynamics material for Limmy, loses its way and gets bogged down in the social politics. In my view he falls into this trap too often, even now as a more accomplished story teller. Most often, but not always, with the independence/scottish vs english source material.

stay strong mate you'll be out soon
Stay true to yourself ignore the haters they’re just jealous x
You'll pull through, I'm sure it was all just a misunderstanding
Hopefully an endorsement from limmy will show people our life choices aren't something to be ashamed of.
Do you know where i can get some steak ?
Unreal how invested I was in this story. Just zonked out picturing it aw out
5 years later and I’ve suddenly remembered fucking dying at this and the same has happened again, Limmys best work imo
My name is Jamesy Johnstone and I absolutely shat myself when you said my name staring into the depths of my soul
But you look like a Peter.
That intimidating angry guy voice is comedy gold.
Aye, that's pretty standard for Scots.
I love how he whisper shouts because his wean and the missus are probably asleep
Laugh a minute when yer on the receiving end ay it selling steaks in the Barras.
asmr roleplay: you’re getting strangled for using the word “sate” in the barras
That was my favourite part, it reminded me of Ivor Cutler's "The Shapely Balloon" when the shopkeeper goes ballistic after hearing the word "assuage"
“Jenksy was right about you lot man” - barras salesmen
pissing myself why does it always end up so violent
It's what the shareholders demand
@@DinckelburgMost self aware shareholders
used to buy games in the barras from a guy. he'd walkie talkie a lad and he'd appear with CDs for the ps1. great times.
What about Amiga disks before that, did you ever get them there..!??

“We’re corrupt as fuck”
This is the best sentence I’ve heard a person say
You need to get out more then, Craig.
I kno man hehe
@@kirstymcintee8162 "hehe" is the best possible spelling for this
"hehe im corrupt as fuck man hehehehe"
"great on a plate" you just can't teach that
pissin myself
"I CANT BREATHE!!!!"
[Terrifying Presence] "coz im fucking killing ye."
Think this is my favourite one, I like an uplifting story.
How noisey are you?!
Was worried Craig wouldn't be involved for a minute there.
Go on the Craig
Lol nice to see the scots supporting each other
The jacket was a total giveaway....
I'll be telling Twitter....
Ye selling steaks...
These emotions feel too real. Feel like this is some life experience comming out here
There's personal tragedy in all good comedy
Nah Limmy’s just that good.
even the polis dinnae like a grass
idk why but the thought of elon musk travelling all the way to Glasgow just to hear Craig speak has me in hysterics

This comment man 😂
This comment is better than the video!
Hahahahaha
Is it the playlist "tunes for when burst"? Those are some BANGING 80s tune m8.
Hahahahahahaha

i like to hold my breath everytime the kid gets choked out to really immerse myself in the story cheers !
Top ASMR channel
Why didn’t The Barra’s Human Resources Department get involved in this managerial harassment?
That's what I was wondering. Surely there is strict procedural protocol to handle this kind of situation in the Barras.
@@Etcher There is, a fuckin chokin'
because they’re corrupt as fuck
@@Etcher plot twist: they are the HR department tae 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Limmy, this is your finest work to date. Amazing.
Skyrim court wizard: "I'm sendin' yu t' the barras"
"Your appetite it will sate"
"the shops look shite..." Tears.
this and parasite 2019 are constantly fighting for dominance over who is the better classism commentary in my head
"you're jenks now" that was so wholesome
the void noise in these videos are really the cherry on top
So happy you posted some again. Really helps when my life is in the toilet. Appreciate you Limmy.
You’re a toilet
Spot on with that vinegar and sickly sweet smell description, it cracked me up as I instantly remembered it, and flashbacked to digging about for cheap singles (records!) on a sunday. I wonder what that smell was, but I dareny think about it too much.
It's the brewery man, the brewery mixed with the old river industry. The combination smells toxic
16 glasgow uni students disliked this
Did they aye
You a long way from the Bronx benny
I lost it at the bit where the cops go ''we're corrupt as fuck here mate...'' hahaha
This is Limmy's crowning achievement.
This happens to me everytime i go to the barras.
Diz it aye
@@agsrd4496 no I was lyin
@@brooscaredya
Wir ye aye
Started laughing just at the title.
"The shops look shite". The best line in this story
That Mr Jenks has worked everywhere btw (also in the Reunion Improv), gotta love a recurring character Limmy #doubleplusgood
This is tremendous. I genuinely haven't laughed so much at a comedian for years.
this is the most jarring ASMR video i’ve seen
You know you’re Scottish when the title alone makes you laugh 😂😂
"Always felt that I look like a Peter"
Hey!! Stop that...or I'll be telling Twitter. 🤣🤣
As soon you hear “let the story commence” then you know you’re in for a ride 😂
This is the third time I’ve listened to this story an it gets better every time.
Limmy the Story Genius, always a joy too watch dude....
I cannot believe this free to watch, it is AMAZING, PURE GLESGA xxx
Would be incredible if someone animated these haha
It’s happening!
@@weefinanimation5387 go on son
@@weefinanimation5387 yesi
In the same way of ‘Wee Gary’ from Limmys Show 😂😂

For about 10 minutes, I thought he was talking about selling STICKS. Imagining the uni student with a pile of twigs he's gotta sell.
@Marty McK most def
This is my current favorite story, i go through stages where im addicted to the one story, keep the laughs coming in this fucked up world, Legend

I’ve watched every improv story he’s done but I return to this one for the full 25 minutes every now and then. It’s pure joy.
I'm a lecturer and I got the job by becoming rich and then losing it all. Now my life is full of Craigs.
Back for my weekly viewing of this masterpiece
Still one of my fav Limmy improve stories
17:00 this is just so good it’s honestly wasted on a random improv vid on RUclips. 😂
Mary didnt know John's name for the 10 years they were together until they both met Craig
I love goin tae the barras
"I can't breathe"...
"Because am killin ye".
This should really be a movie.
the glasgow uni accent gets me everytime
this is my favorite video on youtube
A steak that tastes great on a plate mate 😂
Limmy, this is glorious. Thank you.
I've been here a few times... This is the best improv.
"am no oan the internet a don't gee a fuck" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I watch this every night it's a perfect bedtime story for adults.
After that story, I feel as though we are all Jenks now
Didnt know Limmy was playing Begbie in Trainspotting 3 following the cancellation of Robert Carlyle
I want a spin-off story about Jamesie Johnston
Benny Harvey rip
GBNF
Miss ye big man x
24:51 is that wee look that gets me man
you know that cliché where the old fart is too out of it to realise he's reciting the plot of a tv show he saw?
"THREE FOR A POON! THREE FOR A POON-AH!"
that ending was fit for a black mirror episode
Love me some hand fed corn fed Argentinian kobe steaks from Japan
i can't stop staring at that flick of hair on limmy's crown
I don't care what anyone says, I'm attending this man's streams.
'Mary, do people know what 'rate' means?'
The best story I've heard!
The barras guy is Gary Barton aka mr Glasgow on RUclips
The is the most inspirational story I've ever heard.
Super enjoyed that just waiting on the first bus on shift to arrive so I can go busking maybe a story about buskers would be cool
What a masterpiece of performance art this is.
This is very problematic
Only if you're Craig
What's the ploblem?
16:06 😂 this guys got it all. Honestly though Limmy your just a lovely man. Funny as fuck n all.
Might be the best one, certainly my favourite from the old fella.
Craigs had one hell of a life
23:20 . burst into laughter
Great story. Shocking ending.
Fkn Craig man, ah hate that khunt.
This is the funniest thing on youtube no exceptions
I want more Jamesy Johnston.
Day ye aye
This is your finest story
