Both see themselves as men born in the wrong era of history and feel personally affronted by the depravity of modern life.
Both have/had an apparently 'colourful' work history.
I suspect that both have a similarly unsatisfactory romantic life, resulting in hours on end lying in bed pulling their pisser.
But brooky likes Jim Davidson, an openly racist comedian.
Didn't Reilly, on the other hand, lead a disastrous and pointless attempted revolt by the black workers at the trousers factory? Which failed in part because none of the old black ladies he was trying to rally into revolutionary fervour would touch his spunk-stained bed sheet onto which he had painted a banner.
So while they are both fictional comedy characters, Reilly ultimately proves to be the better man, in my opinion.
In TV parlance, brooky appears to have 'jumped the shark' with this effort.
Great reference, though, bozo
So far from the truth its so fucking tragic..... especially the 'romantic life' superior mate. Superior.
