XFM The Ricky Gervais Show Series 3 Episode 3 - The best bum in W1 

"Bobbity boo, who's that over there? It's Karly Pilkboys." 15 seconds in and I'm already dying.

"That's not cryptic, thaaaat's shhhhiiiiiiittttttt"

Love it when Steve exclaims "man alive"

33:00 onwards - "that's not cryptic, that's shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit" - brilliant.

'no that's not cryptiiic, that's shiiiiiiit.' one of my favourite ricky lines.

xD LOL Steve.. "How is Jonathan Ross?.....alright?...." "OOOH RICKY DO THE LITTLE DANCE.. ehehehee.." xD He was so funny on this episode.

'Up. Up. Up. Bigga-Bagga-Doo.' Best first minute of any recording ever, haha.

I stick a series playlist of X fm before I go to sleep. Quite often I'm briefly awoken at 3/4 in the morning by one of Ricky's crazy squeaky laughs!!

The greatest intro to any XFM show ever.

Ricky: "Probably not my birthday this year. But next year, we'd have known each other 7 or 8 years, so come to that one." Steve: "Do I need to wear the waiters outfit again?"

"How is Jonathan Ross?............Alright?" Hilarious

'They're like jaaazz questions' - one of my favourite Smerch remarks

Anyone else love the fact that this cat Ollie mentioned in this episode is the one still featured in Ricky's twitter and facebook pages?

32:19 I love when Karl tries to explain his Rockbusters by just repeating the answer in a voice

I love it when's karl says "no it's better than godfather" and ricky says "oh really? What's my favourite film then, kez and the elephant man?"

Years of listening to these and every time I gain more and more respect for smerch. He’s super quick witted

I love these shows, I listen all the time and like so many others in the comments section I have done for over a decade... But as I get older and further away from the era these were recorded I feel a certain melancholy and sadness that such a fun time in my life has gone.. Since these were recorded life has got noticeably worse with the rise of things like social media, and these were just much simpler times for everyone.. especially me just fresh out of school and finding my way in the world! Still love these though

34:21 I love when Karl said his age when his parents watched him. 35:03 Ricky, "How old were ya?" Karl, "Pff... 'bout 13." Ricky, "Really?" Karl, "Probably." Ricky, "Yeah?" Karl, "'bout no 'bout 10 probably." Ricky, "Yeah?" Karl, "6." Ricky, "Jesus, HOW OLD WERE YA?! WHAT SCHOOL WERE YOU AT?!"

After listening to these every night to fall asleep for ten years now, I’ve finally accepted this is going to be a thing for the rest of my life.

Karl in a film really shows how good his editing skills are, and how he always had a hidden talent for acting.

8:38 Ricky's self-conscious "whats" just crack me up here lol

"Higher or lower: Neil Armstrong. The first man on the moon. This guy's been to the moon."

I’ve listened to these so many times yet somehow they are still providing me with hours of entertainment

I'm not the only one who falls asleep to all these. like other people, I am often woken up by Ricky's laugh or shouting 'don't talk shit' at kman

Really do wonder about Steve not getting invited to Ricky's birthday party everytime I run into this episode

35:31 Sweeping chimneys in the day, then one hour of lernin'! Also, the Film Thing with Karl's head being "squozed" is hysterical. Karl plays it so well, I can only imagine what he was doing when he was recording himself.

One of my favourite aspects of the show is Steve reading out the random tat that karl got as prizes 😅 - like the free giveaway that karl ripped out of a newspaper

"He gave you a pet". Ollie died yesterday :(

45 Seconds into the show and I'm pissing myself laughing. Come on.... I'm alright I'M UP FOR IT!

Just going to fall asleep to this now, thanks man moth!!

For sure the greatest intro to a radio show, of all time.

The whole witness protection and jury bit is amazing

The genuine annoyance at johnathan ross by Smerch. "ALL RIIGHT?"

“ETs upset. What’s wrong with him?” That killed me

i thought i was the only one to fall asleep to this and waking up to a roaring laugh from Ricky! phones normally red hot from playing xfm play lists all night ha whoops...

12:06 made me sad - "What's his name?" "Ollie :)..." fades into a song. RIP Ollie.

12:00 Steve jealous that he didn't get invited to Ricky's party - Karl and Jonathan Ross did. Karl: "yeah, but you see him all day" then fades them out to "I'm not content to be with you in the daytime..." Nice dig, Pilk.

33:10 just saving my favourite moments for my next round trip 😂

"Well, why can't I just wear the afro and the glasses when I'm in court?"

"No one wants that, baby."

Is anyone else starting to get concerned that they have listened to these too often, for too many years?

A RETRO CUT THERE!

Imagine how frustrating it must have been for the police trying to deal with Karl. It was hard enough for him to remember his age.

These are absolutely brilliant, thanks mate....Cheers !

Back when Ricky Gervais got Ollie R.I.P

Pure class the world misses these times

One of the best episodes in all four series. "F--- me... No, wait, don't!"

Could listen to these 3 all day long

That cat died this this week. RIP Ollie

karly pilk boys

ngl I always feel a bit sorry for Steve when he says he never got invited to the party lol

One of the top ten Xfm episodes, in my opinion.

Iv been searching for this episode for ages. That opening is hilarious. “Karly karly pilk boys”

sad listening to this in 2020 after Olly's passing :(

Karly pilkboys

Smerch has Ricky's friendship with jonathan summed up perfectly!

Best intro to any radio show *ever*

whats my favourite film then? dont want to embrass myself

Best intro ever 😂😂😂😂😂

Wish I had mates like these

Fuck me. I’ve listened to that intro 10 times today easy. I love how Steve laughs through it as well. A proper throaty laugh.

Karl in 'One flew over the cuckoo's nest' was genius.

Steve would've loved Tinder 😂

Karly Pilkboys.

ONE HOUR OF LUYRNIN'

"A retro cut there, thin Lizzy don't believe a word" has to be the best intro to any of these shows lol

Reading a of comments that mention they play this while they sleep. Anyone ever found these drip feeding into their dreams? Last night I was listening to the old podcasts as I fell asleep and my dream involved sitting on a long haul flight with Karl as the captain giving Rock Buster clues over the tannoy while an infuriated Stephen Merchant was sat next to me trying to guess the clues.

“Oh no, that’s not cryptic, thaaat’s shhhhiiiit……you fffff”

That One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest scene was the greatest thing ever! lol. Karl's actually a pretty talented voice actor if he recorded it in one setting. lol.

25 mins, Steve " fuck me, no don't " lmao

Does anyone find it really strange that Ricky didn't invite Steve to his birthday party? Seems such a rude thing to do.

I've listened to these that many times I know what record is coming on after some of the links

0:00. The best start to any show. “Bobbity boo who’s that over there? It’s Karly Pilkboys”

Cant believe Karl nearly took part in an early version of Gogglebox. Would've loved to see him watch TV moaning about the latest reality show and soap opera

This make my day... Everyday

This is peak 👌 makes my days happy

R-"You got to say no lad"

E.T's a bit upset what's heeey whats that ca..hey dude! Whatsa matter man? 🎷

Greatest intro ever

I love how even E.T. speaks Jamaican to make Rockbusters clue work

The mention of Ollie makes me emotional 😢

what age were ya? 13.......10..........6...

This is the best intro ever.

As a proud LGBTQ+ ally, there is pretty much nothing they said in this episode that isn't true of gay men. It's just fucking funny, sorry 🙂

Steve took me out with the jonathan Ross rant 😂😂

Rickys friendship with Jonathon Ross is perhaps the funniest thing going

I die of laughter every time at 33:12

I don't believe for a second that Steve actually said "fuck me! ...no, don't!"

The one thing NONE of anyone can refute is Rick LOVES laughing at himself and getting roasted. The universal rule is treat others how u wanna be treated, so as long as he’s taking it. He can give it out all he wants forever

Missing Elliot lol. That's great.

The origin of Ollie!

Brilliant

You know the compilations of "karl vs Steve" and "Twaddle" and "monkey news"..... I think their should be a compilation of "steve is jealous of ricky"

Ricky makes the most adorable noises sometimes, like the squawk at 9:09

Does always make a bit sad that Ricky didn't invite Steve to his birthday party.

20 years ago... 😮

I don't think there's a show I haven't fallen asleep to.

I want to take a years break from these so i can come back refreshed having forgotten a lot of it and starting again from the beggining. But that would require taking a break 😫

Do you think higher or lower... Neil Armstrong, the first man ON THE MOON. This guys been to the MOON.

RIP Ollie x
