Limmy's show is the only show I hate which I've watched four times, start to finish.

Do you can't stand it and still watched? De gustibus non est disputandum. [You can't argue about taste.]

It can work the other way as well. I actually like Hitman Agent 47 which got an epically bad rating of 8% from the critics though audiences were more indulgent at 40%. [0] It was comforting to read in the comments that the previous movie was less horrible. It should be an excellent viewing experience.

I have no idea, I find it weird and annoying, yet there's something comforting about watching it. I can't explain it.

Maybe you love it and don't want to admit it to your exterior, rational persona, hence your "hate".

I don't, though. I don't laugh at the jokes, and it has this weird, offputting vibe, but there's something about it that makes me like watching it.

There's a great Stewart Lee joke that's like this when he's talking about his critic who secretly love him... "I hate Stweart Lee, I've bought tickets to all of his live shows and seen him three times."
