and not good enough to be the hard-hitting social commentator he aspires to be. Frankly, he's just not good enough.

Is your satire more critically approved?
I'm not a fan but he's significantly funnier than several other professional comedians, and much less of a cunt than Francis Wheen, Ian Hislop, or John Sessions.

Unlike him, I know the limits of my talent. He comes across as a faux self-righteous twat.

It's just one of those things, nothing could have stopped it.

From what I've seen he's consistently held up a mirror to those in power, whoever they are, and repeatedly put himself in the legal firing line in the process. Sure, I can see he might be irritating to some people but that doesn't make him a cunt IMO.
I might be missing something, in which case I'm genuinely interested what it is!

Speaking as someone who has watched HIGNFY for about 30 years - tory? Really?

I'm not sure he claims to be a comedian. However, launching BJ's career is another thing entirely - when did this happen? I must have missed it!

It’s the same situation with Nerine Skinner, a.k.a. Liv Struss/Navine Borries; the Tories are out so now they’ll need to change their acts.
In the case of the latter she can switch to Rayner or Phillips (she’s already done some videos in these personae) but Pie will struggle without a target so universally hated as the Tories.

Pie is not a Labour character, he gets flabbergasted by corruption, lies and incompetence. Labour are capable of providing him ample material, but hopefully less criminal and fascistic.

Do the joke, pull the face, done.
Pie rambles and labours the point.

Entertainment is a matter of taste, and taste is famously highly variable.

But if you claimed he wasn't good enough to be a comedian then I could simply point to his success to prove your claim to be false.

Just not my taste, too much angry rant, not enough wit.
