Mate I have to say, all the podcast channels out there... You put together the BEST compilations, you knock it out of the park. The thumbnails, the content, the editing is all magic. You obviously do a lot of work on this so thank you very, very much.
Only recently found out that the story about the handler who lost their job because they wouldn't show her breasts to the ape is actually true. It was the famous gorilla Koko, the "talking" gorilla, and as Koko loved seeing and touching nipples (even Robin Williams talks about his experiences with this when meeting her), the crazy weirdo handler demanded everyone show their nipples whenever Koko asked. One assistant refused to show hers on multiple occasions and so lost the position. It's crazy that Karl was once again 100% right about something and was dismissed out of hand (though understandably). It makes you rethink all the other crazy monkey news stories which people immediately dismiss, well, those except the ones which are physically impossible.
There's always a small level of truth to his stories.. its the complete misunderstanding and embellishments that make them lose all credibility, time, and time again. Gotta love him for it though
@@danielthorne3088 That is true, although sometimes I feel that Ricky and Steve were so sure that he was wrong 99% of the time that they became overly confident in themselves when they thought something the opposite. Like when Karl mentioned the name of the thing in Gremlins, and said it sounded like Mowgli, and they just assumed he was an absolute idiot and that they must be right in thinking he was talking about gremlins, whereas in the film, the species that Gizmo is is called Mogwai.
Chimps absolutely have opposable thumbs. Ricky so often pretends to sound very knowledgeable to shit on Karl (and it is funny) but he's so, so often wrong
@@titanictotired don’t say that to my uncle. He has an orangutan to thank for performing surgery to eliminate the nystagmus that had plagued him, lo these many years.
Ricky says that often, which surprises me seeing as he has quite good knowledge of animals n that! Also Chimps feet are far more handy than human feet😅
What is this fantastic eye surgery I've never heard of? No mention of an eye test, lasers or anything. I'm not surprised Ricky gets so wound up. Oh and another thing. Why were they trying to keep the doctors identity secret at the end, even though the advert in the paper said "Chimp doctors??" 😤
[The scene opens with a dimly lit stage. A spotlight illuminates a lone microphone stand in the center. As the audience settles down, Ricky Gervais, dressed in a black suit, walks onto the stage with a mischievous grin.] RICKY GERVAIS: Ladies and gentlemen, thank you, thank you! Tonight, I want to talk to you about someone who's become a legend in his own right. A man who has single-handedly redefined the word "idiot." Yes, you guessed it, Karl Pilkington. [The audience chuckles and applauds.] RICKY GERVAIS: Now, Karl is not your typical bloke. No, no, no. He's a special kind of bloke. The kind that makes you question the very fabric of human intelligence. I mean, if there was a contest for the most bizarre thoughts, Karl would win it hands down. And let's be honest, it's not a competition anyone would want to win. [Laughter ripples through the audience.] RICKY GERVAIS: Karl is a man who sees the world through a unique lens. You know, the kind of lens you find at the bottom of a pint glass after a night of heavy drinking. But let me tell you, it's precisely that lens that makes him a comedic genius. I've known Karl for years, and I can safely say that he's the most unintentionally funny person I've ever met. [The crowd bursts into laughter.] RICKY GERVAIS: You see, Karl has this ability to take the simplest things and turn them into absurd, mind-boggling tales. I remember once, we were having a chat about evolution, and Karl comes up with this gem of a theory. He says, "What if dinosaurs never really went extinct? What if they just got smaller and turned into birds?" I mean, imagine that! T-Rexes ruling the skies, terrorizing pigeons. It's preposterous, but it's pure Karl. [The audience erupts in laughter and applause.] RICKY GERVAIS: But it's not just his theories that make Karl so endearing. It's his complete lack of self-awareness. He's like a walking contradiction. On the one hand, he's the most skeptical person you'll ever meet. He questions everything, and I mean everything. On the other hand, he's so gullible that you can convince him that a potato is the next big thing in fashion, and he'll believe it. [The crowd laughs heartily.] RICKY GERVAIS: Karl's adventures around the world have also provided us with some priceless moments. From his hilarious encounters with foreign cultures to his baffling travel habits, it's like watching a real-life Mr. Bean, but without the charm or grace. [The audience bursts into laughter.] RICKY GERVAIS: Now, some people might call Karl an idiot, but I think that's far too simple a label. Karl is a philosopher, a visionary of stupidity. He's a man who dares to ask the questions no one else would even consider asking. Questions like, "Why don't we use more of our brain? Is it because we're saving it for something really important, like when we're asleep?" I mean, who else but Karl could come up with that? [The crowd roars with laughter
