MSE refugee Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Am I one of the only people in the U.K that does not find this Ronnie Pickering phenomenon remotely amusing. People seem to find him absolutely hilarious,I am beginning to think I have lost my sense of humour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Hovis Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 The original clip was funny because it is the epitome of the "don't you know who I am attitude" by a total nobody, combined with the stereotype big mouth road rager who doesn't even undo his seatbelt, let alone open the door and get out. It was made funnier by the YouTube clips with the Liam Neeson one being laugh out loud funny. And everybody is laughing at the big mouthed prat, nobody is laughing with him. All IMHO of course, humour is a personal thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
or in excess of Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I`m surprised people don`t remember him. Years ago, he was an Athletics commentator with the BBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StainlessSteelCat Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Got to admit I found it funny as I would perhaps encounter these kind of idiot once or twice a year when I lived in London. Full of their own self importance and obnoxious to boot. The mash up of movie clips was particularly good. I do feel slightly sorry for the guy becoming a national laughing stock though. Idiot though he was, he doesn't deserve that. Social media is increasingly a platform of mob rule and humiliation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geezer466 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 All I can see is the wife thinking "please kill me now". I imagine if Ronnie Pickering had got out of his car it would have ended somewhat like this https://youtu.be/2PFRdEUN240 Head to around 3.40 for the best bit after you have got the gist of it..

reddog Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 With this this, and other cycle vs motorist videos that keep cropping up. I'm sure if we saw the whole incident from a distance not just a shot from a headcam we would think both parties were as bad as each other.

knock out johnny Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I hope Ronnie Pickering dies a horrible death of cancerHaving not experienced someone dieing of cancer, I used to glibly throw that curse out for a bit of bad boy Frankie Boyle effectHaving nursed my mother through it (unsucessfully) and seen two other friends succumb in the last two years from it, i now know the horror that cancer is. Im glad hitler shot himself, I wouldn't wish him cancer - seriously. Only a sadist of the highest order would wish that. I put your remarks down to you not having intimate experience with cancer - I give you the benefit of the doubt. I hope you never understand what I'm on about - sincerely Ps Ronnie Pickering is a tw@t, take comfort ccc, that is curse enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am simply saying it would be good if someone who is clearly a nasty piece of work - and likes to threaten strangers with violence - died in such an unpleasant manner. Makes perfect sense to me. Karma and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
