I'm Pete: power pop musician, comedian, actor, and roguish scamp. You may recognise me from silly videos. I’ve been on the West End, Netflix, Amazon Prime, and done comedy for the BBC. Greg James even gave me a shout-out! Follow but beware – if you leave, I'll tell my cat Yoshi. He WILL have words.🐱
Trying to calculate the overlap between “Guys who enjoyed watching ‘The Amazing Atheist’ in 2009” and “Guys who recently got baptised at 34, do ice baths, and think Bill Gates is planting gay nanobots in every vaccine”

Patient, sobbing: But Doctor, I AM Pagliacci!
ChatGPT: Apologies. I didn't realise when recommending Pagliacci's epic show to cure your depression that you were the genius himself. I'm impressed! With regards to your initial question, I can recommend seeing the Great Clown Pagliacci.

It’s deeply fucking weird how fashion works. Kids are out here wearing groovy-chic ass flares like its 2002 again. If history teaches us anything, it’s that the cursed skinny jean will rise from it’s grave far sooner than any of us are prepared for.

As a child, I yearned for one of those inflatable bananas on Supermarket Sweep. Sure, I could procure an inflatable banana now with adult money and adult shame… but alas, the magic has perished.

Quick straw poll: anyone else have male friends or colleagues who, pre-2020, were just normal lads, then got into cold plunges, breathwork, or “eating clean” & have since emerged as self professed carnivores who quote Leviticus with the intensity of an evangelical church leader? Just me? I’ve got 3

Sometimes I remember that Shigeru Miyamoto is a huge fan of The Beatles and large parts of my life just make sense.

If you see a video and your first instinct is to comment “you look like _____” unprompted - please stop. Consider if what you’re about to write is insulting. Actually, even if you think it’s a compliment - don’t post it. Just comment “cool video” or “I am afraid” like the rest of us.

I want to believe Donkey Kong is still in there, under the Hollywood sheen. Somewhere deep inside, he remembers what it was like to be built for function, not for aesthetics. Stay strong, brother. 😔

Me when every "new" announcement for the Switch 2 is just a game from 2 years ago with a slightly different hat: [stone-faced silence]
Me when they re-release GameCube games I played to death 20 years ago: [fainting, crying, preparing my debit card]

I loved breath of the wild. I loved tears of the kingdom. But Nintendo, you sick freaks, I am NOT playing it again. I 100%’d the damn thing. I don’t care how many new features you slap on like you’re Bethesda flogging Skyrim. I am free. I am FREE.

Me in history class: Huh? Weird how the nazis banned modern art and exiled artists for being "degenerate".
Me now, watching Ben Shapiro set a Barbie Doll on fire for being "woke": Ah, I see.

Absolutely love the challenge of trying to explain to the voting public that maybe, just MAYBE, taxing billionaires 0.1% more is a better idea than launching the disabled into the sun. But unfortunately the billionaires own every newspaper, TV channel, algorithm and brain cell on this cursed earth.

Dear @cdprojektred.com if you’re casting any voice roles for your next cybernetic sex nightmare, please refer to my credentials. I have consumed this world entirely. I am the most dangerous man alive.

Ever notice that “Why’d you have to get political?” is always exclusively aimed at left-wing creators?

Sad to hear about Joey Molland’s passing. Badfinger were legendary - one of the most criminally underrated bands in rock history. Their story is heartbreaking, and it’s astounding that there hasn’t been a biopic yet. There needs to be.

Absolutely humiliating to be outwitted and emotionally manipulated on a daily basis by a 10 pound creature who screams like a banshee the second he is left alone. Possibly the most dog-brained cat in recorded history.

One of my biggest icks is when an artist records a song in stereo and for some reason decides the first 20 seconds should be entirely isolated in my left ear - so I get to spend that time panicking and slapping my headphones like a dumbass.

Love when someone watches a video of me playing music or being sincere and comments that they sat through the whole thing expecting a joke - like I’m a 2-dimensional cartoon. Imagine watching Good Will Hunting and every time Robin Williams shows up, you start yelling “WHERE'S THE PUNCHLINE??!”

Nobody says "Stick ‘em up!” during robberies anymore. It’s all "Give me your money" or "Empty the register". No flair. No theatre. Just another industry gutted by modern efficiency.

Why do all the famous bears have “Bear” as their last name? Paddington Bear? Pooh Bear? Yogi Bear? Are they all related? Is there a bear aristocracy? Who is their king?
