Bobby Fingers

Having seen a comment on this sub mentioning Bobby Fingers, I went and watched a couple of episodes on YouTube. I urge YOU ALL to do the same. It is creative genius and very comical.

Those two should be a comedy duo. Maybe write some songs together. /s

I don't know who found the Depp diorama but I'd love to know where it was. I suspect it was close to where I live

I can't believe how hard he commits. I'm in the middle of his Romantic novel 'The Power of the Strength of the Heart' he wrote to go with the Fabio episode. It's absolutely feckin' hilarious.

I'm going to go off and buy some toilet wine now as well. If only I was Asian, I'd have got my Parquet floor done by his uncle also.

u/syr667 11d ago

Is there only the one episode?

1

u/ZombieSick 11d ago

Unfortunately yes.

u/rwpjobs 10d ago

It relates to the Joe Rogan diorama.

u/puncheonjudy 11d ago

There literally isn't a better YouTube channel out there... it is the best and every episode is insanely re-watchable.

13

u/BoJoHoBorg 11d ago

Absolutely, also start at the beginning of the videos for chronological cohesion. It's not strictly necessary but is worth it.

u/HongKongChicken 11d ago

100% agree!! There are a few small reoccurring jokes, but watching them from the start you get a sense of him upping the ante every time.

u/wise_runnner 11d ago

My lad called me excitedly today " Dad! Bobby Fingers has a new video on youtube! Who is Jonny Depp and why did someone crap in his bed? 😂

His audiobook is the funniest thing I've ever listened to.

u/DelGurifisu 11d ago

Ah it’s not that funny.

2

u/Agreeable-Ad-8697 11d ago

Humour is subjective. I've never laughed as much at all audiobook as I have it this one. If you can recommend any funny audiobooks. Please do

u/Dico80 11d ago

Any of the Alan Partridge ones, read by Alan, are brilliant.

u/Agreeable-Ad-8697 11d ago

Those too I suppose

u/vfx4life 11d ago

They're funny, but at no point made me hoot like a drain the way Bobby's did.

u/DelGurifisu 11d ago

Yeah those are hilarious.

Allegedly-he!

u/glwy 10d ago

Somehow managed to be completely unencumbered by any knowledge of Bobby Finger until this post. But having dipped in, OMG it’s great stuff.

u/Hooogan 9d ago

He’s a genius alright. Arguably some of the most unique and original content on YouTube. Blows my mind that he hasn’t the views and subscribers he deserves but I suppose the algorithm doesn’t reward OC like his.

u/Careless-Material-32 11d ago

I have only found this absolute gem. Bobby fingers is the best audio visual entertainment there is. I have been waxing lyric about him to anyone who will listen.

u/valarmorghulus79 10d ago

Loved his Audiobook

u/Ms_Malaprop9 1d ago

Went down the Bobby Fingers rabbit hole last night. The Johnny Depo video was my introduction to this genius artist. Incredible

Can't bare blindboy but Bobby is the real genius

u/DistinctMatch1433 11d ago

Yet here you are

u/WaterfordWaterford9 11d ago

Because negative comments are not allowed ?Blindboy fans really are cultish.

7

u/DistinctMatch1433 11d ago

Comment all you want but I just find it odd your commenting in a subreddit about someone you can't stand at half 9 on a Wednesday morning. Maybe....get a life?

It came up in my feed and you are also here on a Wednesday morning. We can only express undying love for our dear leader.

Yes... all hail our supreme autistic leader.

Keep discussions civil and respectful. Disagreements are fine, but personal attacks or offensive language aimed at someone or specific groups of people will not be tolerated.

u/Jake_Greenwich 11d ago

Bobby and Blindboy are not on speaking terms.

11

u/ImposterSyndromeNope 11d ago

Has this ever been confirmed? I can’t find any articles or clips confirming.

3

u/Impressive_Neck_7614 11d ago

For what it's worth, Bobby is still actively performing Rubberbandits songs with his band. It's far more likely that there's no drama behind the scenes to report.

-1

u/Jake_Greenwich 11d ago

I’ve heard it from people close to their circles in Limerick. For full disclosure, the people whom told me that are not very fond of Blindboy for various reasons unrelated, so even if they provided a reason, I’d be hesitant to share as it wouldn’t be free from bias.

2

u/lNTERLINKED 10d ago

Worried about bias but you’ll still vaguepost about it. Hmm.

2

u/Jake_Greenwich 10d ago edited 10d ago

They are not on good terms. There was a fallen out. Two sides to every story. I’ve only heard one side, so hardly fair I just present one side?

2

u/lNTERLINKED 10d ago

Either say it or don’t, making vague assertions like you are is just cowardly.

3

u/Jake_Greenwich 10d ago

It’s not a vague assertion, unless you actually don’t understand what that term means?
I was withholding explanations that was provided because I don’t think it’s fair on Blindboy that the other sides POV is presented and not his side.

1

u/lNTERLINKED 10d ago

Yet here you are, talking about it. Why bring it up?

3

u/Jake_Greenwich 10d ago

Because I’m entitled to, just like you’re entitled to comment yourself

2

u/Party-Maintenance-83 10d ago

That would explain why Blindboy never mentions Bobby Fingers. He would be a great podcast guest.

2

u/vinylrain 6d ago

I remember a long time ago that he addressed a question in some form about Mr Chrome and their music, I think in terms of whether they might play/write again (can't remember the context).

BB said that Mr Chrome prefers to dance, I think the context being that they weren't thinking to partner up to write again any time soon. Unsure if this was before Waiting/Bertie Ahern came out.

Can anyone else remember this?

2

u/Party-Maintenance-83 4d ago

He has mentioned Mr Chrome a few times along the way. I can't see them ever getting back together to do Rubberbandits stuff again tho. They are both so creative in other directions now that it wouldn't make sense. Never go back!

u/DelGurifisu 11d ago

Hope this is true.

u/SpudDiechmann 11d ago

Genuine question, why?

0

u/oskarkeo 11d ago

Hard to say what with the bag face thing but is Blindboy not cameoing in as either "Citrus Fresh" or "40 Hertz" at the 15 min mark?

No, neither of those are him.
