A much-used word, karma is loosely understood as a system of checks and balances in our lives, of good actions and bad deeds, of good thoughts and bad intentions.Ayoade's) eccentric parody of pretentious film tomes, full of posturing, absurdity and brutally passive-aggressive swipes at his own ego is a clear reflection of his very distinctive wit. It is utter nonsense and that is 100% the objective but 300 pages of it is just asking too much of me.

Along with Matt Berry, Ayoade directed, co-wrote and co-starred in AD/BC: A Rock Opera, which parodies life-of-Christ rock operas and aired on BBC Three in December 2004. By the time the reader reaches the start of the Appendix though, they should at least have already read the whole book if they have been following the instructions in the footnotes diligently.

The fig tree is there, too, when war breaks out, when the capital is reduced to ashes and rubble, when the teenagers vanish.

The food, drink and random odds and sods can all indeed be found as imagery, phrases and passing mentions on the pages given but they aren’t at all what a reader would ever think to look up nor what these pages are actually about (as much as this book could be said to be about anything) – and ‘aboutness’ is the very key to helpful indexing. He and Footlights vice-president John Oliver wrote and performed in several productions together, appearing in both Footlights' 1997 and 1998 touring shows: Emotional Baggage (directed by Matthew Holness) and Between a Rock and a Hard Place (directed by Cal McCrystal). Over ten brilliantly insightful and often erotic interviews, Ayoade examines himself fully and without mercy, leading a breathless investigation into this once-in-a-generation visionary. Ayoade took over as host of the Channel 4 game show The Crystal Maze in 2017, following the success of a celebrity charity special revival hosted by Stephen Merchant.But those qualities quickly became tediously self-indulgent when spread over the course of the entire book.
