.... The lizard stuff may be antisemitism, but I think it's more likely he actually believes it.
Anyway, you've surely watched Borat, from 2006.
No. I prefer humour that makes me laugh rather than cringe.
I saw the interview Terry Wogan did with him shortly after he stopped being a sports commentator, must have been in the 70s, during which he pretty much claimed to be the second coming of Jesus Christ. He certainly seemed to me to be in urgent need of psychiatric help at that point. Since then he seems to have found a way of making a living out of his delusions. The lizard stuff may be antisemitism, but I think it's more likely he actually believes it.
As I've said before: the intersection of people who believe the Protocols of the Elders of Zion is not a fraud and people who are not anti-Jewish racists is approximately zero.
I used to lurk his forums around the same time I joined here when it was still JREF. Holy crap, that page was a trip.

Weird, I could have sworn it was longer ago than that. Senior moment.![]()
I'm not all that familiar with Icke, and keep wondering: Do you pronounce the "e"?
The Wikipedia pronunciation says aɪk. aɪ, "i" in "tide". k, "k" in "kind"
Icke's antisemitism is very much on the surface.
I do wonder something about this. Isn't his antisemitism very much of the elders of the protocols of Zion variety. Where in ordinary Jews are also the victims of the super jews that control everything. Not that it isn't anti-semitism but its slightly different that everyday antisemitism?
He still makes me go "ick".
