Olly’s comments about the business meeting and the company CEO were about being a girly bimbo but also just being a regular old artfag. I’ve noticed that he frequently makes cringe references to aaaaa-art that are so clumsy. Sometimes they are “jokes” but you can tell with his runaway ego that he truly believes he’s creating ART with a capital A. And constantly makes reference to it.
In the commentary he does on the trooning/identity video, he talks A LOT about the brilliant layers of meta meanings in his use of Bowie’s “Blackstar” and another song in the closing credits. It makes me laugh because he starts screaming - “Themes!” Art!” - and flailing his enormous arms about. It’s jarring. Like others have mentioned you genuinely get the feeling he could go into a rage at any moment.
The livestreams crack me up in general because he looks so incredibly ridiculous. Several times the adjustable chair he’s in gives way and he falls down and has to pump the chair back up, in another he’s dropping candy all over the floor, (after attempting to shove it down his gullet and missing), and taking swigs from a beer. Lol he just literally comes across like an elephant in a tutu. Or frequently he wants to boom out a masculine guffaw, but he tries to stifle it or make it lady-like so when he laughs you can see and hear this incredibly awkward tug of war where he’s trying desperately to make his laugh “feminine” and failing.
But yeah, with those tweets he was trying to communicate, “Whoa, I’m so out of my depths dealing with facts and figures and business practices because I’m an
artiste.” Even though it’s obvious he’s a social climber and a money grubbing grifter of the first order.
The arm flailing and screaming about art are at 1:11:30 here:
