Grin First rule of Tayto Squad: call Tom Tim.
Second rule of Tayto Squad: don't do talk about Tim.
Or Tay. Or Timotay. Or Lulu. Or Larry. Or SoS shenanigans.

More fuel to the conceptual-art theory fire I think. Cumberbatch could not have been more pretentious wankery had he been trying. Which he probably was - he has an image to uphold!

Freshprincess · 28/09/2016 22:14

Is that interview for real?

'You're so wonderful Tim,'
'Oh stop, you're amazing. And Hugh Laurie loves me,'
'Aren't we fabulous?'

No wonder Swifty didn't want to go to the Emmys with him.

"Well, Tom, you're an equally eloquent writer and actor."

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 28/09/2016 22:36

OMG just read it. What a load of wank.

Whentheshipgoesdown · 28/09/2016 22:37

I can't imagine anything worse than being stuck in a lift with Tim and Bendy quoting Henry IV part II and congratulating each other on their loquaciousness

AllMumsyWereTheBorrowedClothes · 28/09/2016 22:42

BlushI'm quite taken by some of the photos, or at least the face, not so much the clothes - aprons are a bit Great British Bake Off, even if made of leather GrinGrin and the peaked cap, mesh vest and zip-up jump suit ensemble is truly breathtaking Hmm I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings...

raisedbyguineapigs · 28/09/2016 22:47

God they're so pretentious! They sound like they have no fun at all as 'friends'! Theres no banter or affection in that interview at all. Just some mutual back slapping. And that leather apron is just weird! He needs to get a stylist sharpish!

APlaceOnTheCouch · 29/09/2016 11:15

I wonder if they call Tim for fashion shoots because they know he won't veto anything. He just says 'yes, that's fine' to everything.
Maybe that's what TayTay found attractive because she knew he wouldn't say no to an 'I love TS' vest because he'll wear anything! Grin

KimmySchmidtsSmile · 29/09/2016 16:25

ooh. Good theory. Have to say, based on that interview, if I had to choose between Hiddles and Cucumberpatch, I'm going for tea with Tim.
Now, what could I make him wear? Wink

Kimmy can I come for tea too? Tim seemed much nicer than Cumcumberpatch love the name Grin

I draw the line at an 'I love Kimmy' vest but will flaunt my not-so-slender-limbs in an 'I love the MN TayTo Squad' pink bomber jacket, if it secures me a seat at the tea table.

KimmySchmidtsSmile · 29/09/2016 21:52

The more the merrier place BrewCake Sadly, I cannot take credit for Cucumberpatch. That is my beloved blogger Monkseal's name for him (along with Leo di Caprisun).

Oh my. Celebitchy describe that look as "leather daddy". Grin

Oh my. I've been having to deal with Real Life and have just caught up on the Tim and Cucumberpatch mutual love fest masquerading as an interview. Just.. what? And why?

Apparently it was done in July whilst we were enjoying the TayTo Summer of Love

APlaceOnTheCouch · 30/09/2016 13:46

I think 'leather daddy' made me a bit sick in my mouth. I can't bear to think why there is a term for this. Envy

TaylorAndCalvinForeva

or his new song is really terrible and he needs her to write him another good song

Emmageddon · 01/10/2016 18:13

New to the thread, but jeepers creepers, that interview with Benedict Timothy Carlton Cumberbatch and Thomas William Hiddleston is hideously embarrassing. Oh and the photo shoot, why, why, why? I only became aware of Tayto after seeing the photos of the Taylor Swift 4th July party where he looked a dick wearing the I heat TS vest. Now it's all over, thank fuck. But what on earth is he doing???? Tom, you are a credible actor, what the fuck is going on?

FrayedHem · 02/10/2016 00:34

Welcome Emmageddon. As TayTo have cut us off like ungrateful trustafarians, the thread has slowed done. But I still enjoy reflecting on the TayTo Summer of Love ❤ and I've had a very serious week so what better way to decompress than to analyse a Sleb?

Tim is thirsty for high level fame has been the general consensus. And I really think he thought himself to be such a clever-clogs he could effortlessly deal with the TayTay level paps and fame. I like to imagine he practised many witty and humorous comments whilst tucked up safely in his single bed at his dear ma's house.

Unfortunately he couldn't carry it off so eloquently out loud and became a stuttering, full-naming his girlfriend laughing stock gif in a vest.

The bizarre interview was at the height of his Summer of Love Tour, which may account for the level 10 unaware-Ness he exhibits. I don't think his career is actually going to suffer so maybe he counts it as a win. TayTay was always going to be alright. The timing meant she was off promoting/touring/chat shows so she could never be cornered into commenting publicly.

But whether it was true luv 4 eva or some massive in-joke Sleb LOL I bloody loved it. And this thread ❤

AllMumsyWereTheBorrowedClothes · 02/10/2016 09:43

Fabulous summary Frayed - what a summer of fun it's been, it helped ease the pain of all the Brexit shenanigans, too.

The leather apron seems to be quite a thing, Britney Spears' dancers on Jonathan Ross' show had a variation on the theme, they did look slightly more at home in them than Tim....

raisedbyguineapigs · 02/10/2016 11:58

India Knight wrote an article today, basically saying that the only thing that stops her wallowing in fear and horror about Syria and Terrorism is Strictly. I feel the same about this thread and my Celeb Insta obsession!

Oh. My. God Shock whst is he wearing?!
He slip in unnoticed for sure

Slip in unnoticed wasn't a euphemism btw.

More like a double entendre Wink
