To have my first celeb crush on...Richard Ayoade?!

I watched I.T crowd with no hint of a crush but watching him on panel shows/Travel Man and giving interviews I seem to have a huge, teenage style, crush on him 😶

Anyone else?! Please don't let me be alone....

Ah yes, v lovely on Travel Man (especially the Miami episode with Rhod Gilbert 😂)

Thank the Lord I'm not alone! I think it's the combination of his good looks, intelligence and dry sense of humour. I haven't watched the episode with Rod...one for the 'to watch' pile.

I did love him, until Cartoon Network started a bombardment of its terrible new show co-starring him. Now his voice goes through me a bit. He’s not ruined The Crystal Maxe though, as great as he is, I was really worried about that!

HollyGoLoudly1 · 03/09/2018 17:15

I'm with you, very funny AND hot 👌

Gottagetmoving · 03/09/2018 17:16

I love him, absolutely love him!
His new book 'Ayoade on Ayoade' is rubbish though. I was really looking forward to it but I tried really hard to like it...but gave up.
I wish I could keep him though.

Yes ladies, I knew I couldn't be the only one! Is it wrong that I'm considering tuning into Cartoon Network?!

I was wondering if his book would be any good Gottaget. Might see if I can find a copy 😁

I think he lives near my DD as she sees him around all the time. Peckham/Dulwich is where you need to get yourself to if you want to see him in the flesh!

I've had this crush too OP Grin

Apollo, I'm not even joking when I say I would probably pee a little with the excitement 😅 I've noted the area though!

Yanbu, funny is such a big turn on.

I also quite like Adam Buxton Blush

Some of the reviewers loved it. Could be I'm not as intelligent as I thought I was and just didn't get it. Grin
I would probably enjoy him interviewing himself on tv but it didn't work in a book, the silliness didn't work at all...Well, not for me anyway.

That End of the Year Quiz he did when Mel B was on … he was so brilliant, and she really didn't get him. She was humourless and he was so disarming and showed her up without having to make fun of her. Liked him on IT Crowd but loved him since the Quiz.

RiverTam · 03/09/2018 17:29

He lives round my way, I’ve seen him at least 3 times (with his wife and kids, I’m afraid, OP).

Piffle11 · 03/09/2018 17:29

@Impulsesealer did you see Adam Buxton's Drunk History? They are very hit and miss, but his was brilliant.

Hot as hell imo

I saw a clip of that quiz Piffle, I need to find the full episode. It seemed to play out in the typical cool kid vs geek from the clip but I don't think she realised it. I've never been a fan of her though.

Its ok River, I can go with my own family and ogle from afar 🤣🤣🤣

He's so dreamy.

Pickledturnip · 03/09/2018 17:33

Yes MrsT, exactly that. Not a 'He's a bit alright' more of a dribbling mess scenerio. I feel like a 14 year old version of myself....

I love him. I really want to go on holiday with him 😂

iklboo · 03/09/2018 17:36

Richard Ayoade is DS's hero. He does a brilliant Moss impression Grin

RoboticSealpup · 03/09/2018 17:37

I don't fancy him but I do think he's one of the funniest people alive.

Me too! A day trip to Peckham would be fine 🤣🤣🤣

I adore him almost as much as Charlie's brooker
