If you guys want more Karl Pilkington, there is a compilation on RU-vid called “Twaddle - Xfm Compilation” which is 2 hours of insane Karl stories which send Ricky into insanity! 🤣
Can't believe it's over! I mean I've watched each episode about 300 times already and I'll never stop but I really enjoyed watching it with you both. Bit of gervais stand up soon maybe?
The XFM radio came first, that was in the early 2000's when they met Karl who pushed the buttons, arguably even funnier than the podcasts that these animations are from, the "Educating Ricky" and "Steve Vs Karl" reactions you've done are actually clips from the XFM shows, the podcasts came some years after XFM even into the 2010's. Idiot Abroad has been mentioned in these which was filmed around 2010. These guys basically invented podcasts, for sure popularized it.
Yes i much prefer the XFM shows as great as this xhow is. Karl was more unfiltered when he didn't think his family would hear him discuss stuff like his dad stealing from a phonebox, split tennis ball, kid in a wheelie bin, Aunty Nora farting, girl with marrow, man moth, amongst other classic stuff.
I was listening to the podcast in 2001.. never in my wildest dreams did I imagine 20 years later id watch 2 high Americans watch them all. It's actually been a pleasure guys
Karl is the embodiment of "think outside the box", "stop to smell the roses", "sick of it", "can't be bothered", "bong", "do we need 'em", "what are they doing", etc. Karl's #1 attribute is honesty and that is what makes him so entertaining.
I have watched this show too many times to count, but I had a great time experiencing it through fresh eyes with you guys. You def should check out some of the highlight tapes from the podcast.
Strongly recommend you listen to the XFM shows. If they are too long break them down with various compilations like Karl in a film, Karl vs Steve all the insults, Karls dad, Educating Ricky, Rockbusters etc.
Thanks for the reactions, i watched most of them even though I never commented, you can consider reactions to the full monkey news audio, a lot of it didn’t make it to the animated show
Thanks so much fir reacting to these. Loved watching these all over again but with you blokes this time. Best Wishes to you and yours love from Australia
You guys watching this series became my favorite thing on the Internet during 2021/2022. I hope you guys watch some more of Ricky, Steve and Karl somehow. If you're looking for more British stuff there was a ridiculous skit show called "Little Britain" that would be cool if you guys did. It's kind of like a British Mad TV
You must be joking. There's the XFM era where few clips have been animated, Karls show Sick Of It, not to mention Moaning Of Life which I think is better than An Idiot Abroad. Plenty more of Karl to experience.
Sad its the final episode but have loved the hilarious fun entertaining journey with you ..you are amazing ..what a show .. very special so hilarious thanku so much love you too bits x God bless x
Aah, the end of an era....it's been a blast. I've loved being on this journey with you from Idiot Abroad to The Ricky Gervais Show. Loved your reactions and was one of the only reactions I'd like before watching. Thank you for the laughter 🤣
I loved revisiting this great show with you chaps. Felt like I was with you in the living room being presented with the animated portrayal of this wonderful dynamic. Plenty of additional RSK stuff yet to cover. 🍻
Feels like an end of an era...again! 😔 Not sure if they will do anything more together. Let's hope so. Thete ate still more rockbusters and white van Karl from the radio shows too chaps 👍
Ricky and Steve were radio presenters on a British station called XFm in 1998 then returned in 2001 after making The Office and had Karl as their producer and realised how funny he was and started incorporating him more and more into the show when they talked between songs and that's when Monkey News and Songs of Phrase and Rockbusters started. Then after the radio show ended in 2005 they did the podcast then the podcast was turned into a cartoon between 2010 and 2012.
I’ve never noticed before that when God “hits the human button”, he’s using a tablet with apps on it! Genius insight into the future from the animators
Steven has a show which has 2 series so far on the BBC called Outlaws. Ricky's doing stand up and Karl is probably eating biscuits off the windowsill with tiny see through things
Karl's dad sawing part of the mattress off just so it can look nice between two cupboards is one of my favourite moments of this series. It's just so legitimately mental. And explains Karl so well, lol.
Thank you so much for this saga! In my opinion you upload to fast between videos. Yo made all Bill Burr. All idiot abroad and this within so ahort time range. Looking forward to the next chapter of funny stuff
More Karl please lads , he has a series called Sick of it I think it's called where he plays a character based on himself , check it out and keep up the good work 🏴
