Product Information

I never lost all my goddam fencing gear, nor did I ever possess any goddam fencing gear, but I did resolve to get myself a red hunting hat, which Holden wears all the goddam time.

I still chuckled a bit, and was charmed by Ayoade's quirkiness, but I thought it was too little to give this one a decent rating. He's directed music videos for indie bands including Arctic Monkeys, Radiohead, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Vampire Weekend, and Kasabian.

Along with Matt Berry, Ayoade directed, co-wrote and co-starred in AD/BC: A Rock Opera, which parodies life-of-Christ rock operas and aired on BBC Three in December 2004.

Because to be moved by something made by someone who has done something bad would mean that a bad person possesses the capacity to connect to us; that they haven’t, somehow, forfeited their humanity. Ayoade starred in an advertisement for HSBC in 2018, which addressed other countries' cultural impact on the United Kingdom ahead of Brexit; appearing in four more in the following years [73] Ayoade voiced Treebor, a Stone Age caveman, in the Aardman Animations stop-motion comedy Early Man (2018). The original The IT Crowd ran for four seasons until 2010, with a special airing in 2013, for which Ayoade won a BAFTA for Best Male Comedy Performance. I also feel like I understand the enigmatic mystery of a puzzler that is Richard Ayoade just a teensy bit more.

After appearing in Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding's radio series The Boosh, Ayoade was part of the original cast of Barratt and Fielding's The Mighty Boosh television show.

I read this book because I am an admirer of Richard Ayoade's performance on the British sitcom, The IT Crowd, and his two films, Submarine and The Double.It’s after about 67 Gwenyth in Paris mental appearances that I come across Richard Ayoade and become a fan. That year he also directed two music videos for the Arctic Monkeys, " Crying Lightning" and " Cornerstone", and videos for Kasabian's " Vlad the Impaler", starring Fielding, and " Heads Will Roll" by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
