Description
Here was a protest against the narrative of victimhood that has come to pervade today’s Complaint Culture. If you want to succeed, the film bravely asserts, put on a short skirt and go into the service industry!” Unlike The Wiggles’ ear worm (sorry Jeff), it’s an oddly affective vision. Each time Gwenyth in Paris appears, I think of myself bored, pre-menstrual, naively drifting through a world of VCDs. Each time Gwenyth in Paris appears, I know I am further from that girl.

The book itself is a parody of high-brow interviews with film directors. It probably helps if you've taken a film studies class or two in college, as the satire of this writing style is pretty spot on. Ayoade's interviews are totally ridiculous, however, and this is not a book to read if you want to learn anything purely factual about him. The constant absurdism does raise the question of whether there's anything true in the book, even on a metaphorical level. I think the answer is yes. Dobbs, Sarah (3 April 2014).

Ayoade on Top, his third book published by Faber and Faber, is a tongue-in-cheek ode to the critically maligned romantic comedy View from the Top starring Gwyneth Paltrow. [80] [81] The Financial Times included Ayoade on Top in its collection of the best books of 2019 and Ayoade was ranked 33rd of the 50 best comedians of the 21st century in a 2019 list published by The Guardian.

In February 2006, Ayoade began playing technically brilliant, but socially awkward, IT technician Maurice Moss in the sitcom The IT Crowd on Channel 4, appearing with Chris O'Dowd, Katherine Parkinson, Chris Morris, and later on, Matt Berry. The series' creator Graham Linehan wrote the part specifically for Ayoade. [29] In 2008, Ayoade won the award for an outstanding actor in a television comedy series at the Monte-Carlo Television Festival for his performance. [30] In 2009, Ayoade co-starred with Joel McHale in the pilot for an American version of The IT Crowd, reprising his role with the same appearance and personality; however, no series was commissioned, and the pilot never aired. [31] 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. [32] [33]
Ayoade participated in the 2012 Sight & Sound directors' poll, where he listed his 10 favourite films: The Apartment, Badlands, Barry Lyndon, Crimes and Misdemeanors, Make Way for Tomorrow, Contempt, Ordet, Persona, Raging Bull, and Tokyo Story.

There was actually a lawsuit (which the vag-egg-wallah lost) because of the false claims made about these - proof that fools are indeed born continuously. Ayoade on Ayoade' is a playful, funny parody of those earnest books which fawn over auteurs and deconstruct their work for meta levels of meaning. That Richard Ayoade is so willing to poke fun at this, whilst apparently engaging with it in his own films, made me like him even more - and I already like him a lot.PDF / EPUB File Name: Ayoade_on_Ayoade_-_Richard_Ayoade.pdf, Ayoade_on_Ayoade_-_Richard_Ayoade.epub

I caught Richard Ayoade on The Graham Norton Show regaling the couch with a description of his new book and I knew I had to read it asap. Ayoade has frequently appeared on panel shows, most prominently on The Big Fat Quiz of the Year, and served as a team captain on Was It Something I Said? (2013). He presented the factual shows Gadget Man (2013–2015), its spin-off Travel Man (2015–2019), and the revival of The Crystal Maze (2017-2020). He has also voiced characters in a number of animated projects, including the films The Boxtrolls (2014), Early Man (2018), The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part (2019), Soul (2020), and The Bad Guys (2022), as well as the series Strange Hill High (2013–2014), Apple & Onion (2018–2021), Disenchantment (2021), and Krapopolis (2023–present). If you like your humour high class and silly this book is for you. It's short (like this review) but you really need to pay attention and in all honesty it was the perfect length for what it contained and talked about. Ayoade often works alongside Julian Barratt, Matt Berry, Noel Fielding, Matthew Holness, and Rich Fulcher.
