The Book of Wabbit

This is my personal mantra every morning before I set out to work...

He’s very much an introvert’s comedian; I can see why some people might find him annoying, but only Amstell could write a “sitcom about depression, disconnectedness and isolation” (SA) and actually make it funny!  You really, really should watch Grandmas’s House or ‘Numb’ - I think you’d love them.  ’Numb’ is on iPlayer atm - if you get the time check it out!

But what I find annoying is that I’m worse than him. I find him extremely extroverted, actually. ET-continue-explaining: which makes me so much worse than him, who already says he’s the worst that can be, while he’s having friends all over the world, looking gorgeous and being professionally funny. I just realised, writing this, I’d like him to acknowledge just once he’s not the only one and not the worst off? He must have said that, surely? Once?

I know, I know... it can be hard to suspend disbelief when someone this successful and attractive goes on about how isolated, sad, depressed, etc, etc they are...I can see how that can be quite irritating.... to be fair though, he's self aware and self deprecating enough take the piss out of his own self pity and i'm glad he exists amongst the more glittery and brash comedians - he kind of validates being a certain type of angsty outsider - e.g. when he talks about having hated school parties so much "couldn't wait to turn 17 in order get a driving licence and drive away from all the fun" etc.   I dunno, I suppose I'm just a massive sucker for his awkward, sensitive outsider schtick - it feels real enough to me :)

Undoubtedly cute, and pretty, and manages to bring out the motherly in me.  (Christ knows it takes a lot.)  And yet, still so friggin’ annoying somehow.
