Hey guys, sorry for pinning this comment on all videos but I want to give you an update on the channel. I've been slowly adding a show archive to the videos including a full transcript added as sub titles and a full track listing (with links to TH-cam videos for each track). Pilkipedia archive link has been added as well and I've been having fun illustrating some of KP's best bits, I'm adding these to a shop incase anyone is interested: www.man-moth.com/ It's taking me a while to update the archives, especially as I don't work Mondays so please bear with me as I chip away at it. Lots of love, Man Moth.
i listen to these episodes every night, and they always help me when i'm feeling anxious. so pleased other people enjoy them as much as I do. as dramatic as it sounds I feel like they've got me through some awful times. they seem to get funnier with every listen. cheers man moth for uploading them!
100%. These have been a part of my life for a over a decade now and always give me a sense of familiarity and comfort, even though Ricky is frequently unpleasant to the ears!
I agree wholeheartedly, I have come back after having the pleasure of sharing this with new friends. Literally my comfort podcast when life is too much
59:40 - "Foreigner...For Rainer." "I dunno what you mean." "Claire, Claire Rainer she took advice...she gave people advice...so that's Foreignaaar...Foor Raainner" "I ca...That is shit." I love how blunt Ricky says that's its hilarious it's like he's given up all faith in Karl xD
Steve’s line about “You don’t need to buy a passport. Isn’t that your god given right as an Englishman?” is a nice little prelude to him not being allowed to travel to the States about a year after this because his passport had expired.
finally someone in the comments section has written "prelude" rather than "foreshadowing". Everyone on TH-cam is obsessed with that word. Am sick of it, it's a load of boswellox
I love Ricky's Manchester accent. "Or-ee, what I were lookin' for Karl. Ay, bloody hell Karl, you little bald twat; that just what 'ar' wanted." "Ooh Karl, excellent, you paid me milk bill for this week! That were reek' nice!" Excellent.
Steve's not knowing about having to pay for a passport would come back to haunt him in a couple of months time. If he'd listened to Ricky's "10 years" quip, that embarrassing episode might not have happened!
@@Scallion_D I stayed on my mums passport until it was absolutely necessary for me to get my own, maybe he just always went on holiday with his parents and then never went abroad when he moved out lol
Well its the first of December as I write this sentence. Time to listen to the Christmas epsiodes as I have done every December 1st the last few years. Feliz Navidad everyone
@@lydiarodgersAs someone who has listened to every single episode over 100 times each over 20 years, Karl never said 6. I 100% guarantee you that. The guy who said that is confusing something, but Karl *never* said he did it at age 6. Also I have made this exact comment and post over 10 times on TH-cam, plus another 10 or 15 times on Reddit/Facebook, so *YOU* COMPLETELY, straight up, just stole my comment 😂😂😂 (you can literally look through the comment section on *THIS* video, and you'll see I said this 7 years ago, as opposed to YOU, who stole my comment and posed it 7 months ago -- LMFAO). Nice try! I appreciate that you're young, and you want to get into this crowd and seem cool, but don't steal people's comments. There's lots of fantastic jokes and things that you can come up with your own comments for, but you don't need to leech off other people 😂❤❤. One love, young blood. 🤙
Imagine Karl cast as Ebeneezer Scrooge, with Ricky as the ghost of Christmas Present, shrieking with laughter and squeezing his head. It would brilliant.
"and all of them spitting on the Victoria Plum and stamping on it and taking poloroids of them laughing at it saying it's bloody awful" "..alright.." XD I love it when one of them actually gets hurt a little bit and goes "..alright" or "..yeah"
6:15 Teletext?! 😳 It just sounds so antiquated now. I sometimes forget how old these broadcasts are. I thought that disappeared in the early 90s. 🤷🏻♀️
I love how Steve consistently hears things exit Karl's mouth that are so outlandish he's convinced he's missed a vitsl part of information. It happens nearly every other epsiode 😄
Ricky going ‘that is SHIT’ to the cryptic clue foreigner and Karl laughing is my favourite part of the series. And then instantly followed up by Steve’s smashing pumkins
Someone needs to complain, and the complaint meeds to be upheld. The show didn't get many live listeners, and XFM listeners wouldn't likely care enough that someone said 'shit' to go about writing letters.
Every time Steve goes "oh yeah" when Karls talkin, immediately he gets a big head and goes "uhhhhhhhm", really takes his time, completely unaware that they're feigning interest.
In one of the episodes, Karl talked about making a reality show out of making famous people homeless for a week, they've made that and put it on the BBC…genius!
ou7ofspace He laughs quite a bit. He laughed when he said "the bug head one" as well. He's just not a loud laugher (nobody is compared to Ricky) and it isn't as noticeable when he isn't talking at the same time.
It reminds me of the IT Crowd episode when Roy uses the disabled toilet. He gets caught, ends up claiming he is "leg disabled," and finishes the night rolling around in a wheelchair! So funny!
I remember Roy at the end going onto a disabled minibus and the camp guy (complete with large moustache), being played by Ash Atalla (the guy who worked on stuff with Ricky and Steve, appeared on Ricky's politics show etc.), so it may well stem from the same source.
LyingSecret Oh really!? I didn't realise it was Ash! I'd like to think you're right and they borrowed ideas from each other! Either way, I better go watch all the episodes of IT Crowd again to make sure I haven't missed anything else!
Emily J Haha well as long as my largely pointless knowledge brings joy to someone :P Yeah just I recognised him because I'd watched the Politics standup DVD a number of times before I saw that episode, that and the brilliant awards thing where Ricky said something like "Ash wants people to know that he's up here because he's a writer on the programme, he's not won a competition" :D

“… oh and have a good Christmas”
One of the great Karl moments
ye always gets a chuckle out of me. also i luv ricky later on chiming in going "oh and have a good christmas" as he re tells the clues

59:40 - "Foreigner...For Rainer." "I dunno what you mean." "Claire, Claire Rainer she took advice...she gave people advice...so that's Foreignaaar...Foor Raainner" "I ca...That is shit." I love how blunt Ricky says that's its hilarious it's like he's given up all faith in Karl xD
And at 1:00:08 that bits great.
Do you mean 'smashing pumpkins"?
Thanks very much, nice bollocks!
I love the way Karl laughs when Ricky says it's shit, like even he realises it for once.
Christophee1987 i think karl was laughing at how blunt he was as well
Steve’s line about “You don’t need to buy a passport. Isn’t that your god given right as an Englishman?” is a nice little prelude to him not being allowed to travel to the States about a year after this because his passport had expired.
We’ve been listening to these for too long. Are we allowed socks yet
@@randallwindle1004 We need to wait for Grandpa to die first
Wonder if dickers listens back to them
finally someone in the comments section has written "prelude" rather than "foreshadowing". Everyone on TH-cam is obsessed with that word. Am sick of it, it's a load of boswellox
Ricky even says “10 years!”
The silence after Karl asks “do you know Porthmadog?” is radio gold.
Later on in the podcasts, Steve said his grandad passed away. I thought "but ron's going to be nice and warm this Christmas "
Pudding Brain 😂😂😂
I love Ricky's Manchester accent.
"Or-ee, what I were lookin' for Karl. Ay, bloody hell Karl, you little bald twat; that just what 'ar' wanted."
"Ooh Karl, excellent, you paid me milk bill for this week! That were reek' nice!" Excellent.

One of my favourite Easter eggs in these shows
I'm staggered how someone can get to his age at the time and not know that lol.

He's a good looking fella.
@@JoeRivermanSongwriter so you're happy haha 😂
While all the jellyfish watch.
I don't why he stopped there and didn't go into positions or something
Happy 20th anniversary to this episode, and happy holidays to all you sockless XFM listeners! :)

What do you mean 'happy holidays'? We don't say that here in Britain! Americans, they do me 'ed in.

"Oh, and have a good Christmas."

These shows were so rich with material, thank you Man Moth!
“Laughing at it and stamping on it!” (Laughing raucously)
“alright” (sadly)
LMAO
with a load of spit on it.!
One of my favourite bits
Whoever taped these deserves a medal
Karl was probably responsible for recording it initially.
5:26
ricky: it always starts with "right, so then..."
karl: "so..."
Am I the only one who wonders what Dickers is up to these days?

A surprising amount of laughter from Karl in this one! Always nice to hear if also a bit jarring!
karl’s paper round age ranges from 11-15 depending on the week they asked him
He said 6 once
@@RT-ks2zi please tell me you remember the ep because this is making me laugh so much. a paper round at 6
Literally only a few episodes ago he says 11 or 12 hahaha
I mean you can have a paper round for a few years?

Wow Ricky genuinely feels bad for Karl when his mom didn’t like his Christmas gift.
*mam
Loving these thanks to whoever is uploading viva pilkington
2:12 Ricky's northern impression is so bad but so good
They really need to make a cartoon show of Karls childhood
+isaveu theres so much more they can get out of Karl too, there'd be plenty of material. He doesnt evolve, or change :)))
59:49 "That is shit." 😂 How did they get away with this on radio??
I've noticed the word shit has been let go quite a lot on radio, different to tv..
Someone needs to complain, and the complaint meeds to be upheld. The show didn't get many live listeners, and XFM listeners wouldn't likely care enough that someone said 'shit' to go about writing letters.
+Will Suttie Didn't get many listeners,? It had loads, at least 300 regular listeners.
I always wondered how they got away with it!? I love it. I love how little of a shit Ricky gave. Will needs to chill out ☝🏼
He calls Karl a twat on a regular basis, like most things they wouldnt get away with it now.
"And he got me this, isn't this SHIT?!" lmao
love Ricky's manc accent.
generic northern lol
...oh and merry christmas!
Ricky's nervous laugh of anticipation right before Karl launches into the Victoria Plum story is perfect.
"she likes gnomes, fairies, indians"
I vaguely remember those Victoria Plum dolls. Always wanted one. But just Googled it. Jesus.
i remember watching 'It'll be alright on the night' on the telly as a kid back in the 90s with my great grandmother who was born in 1910.
Sounds like a wild night.
Anyone else googled- "victoria plum ornament"? It really is a piece of tat 😅
59:48 makes me laugh so much, "that is SHIT".
My heart broke a little hearing Karl’s Christmas train & Victoria Plum stories.
😂
Ricky’s impression of Susan’s dad is fucking brilliant.
Underrated episode this
Every time Steve goes "oh yeah" when Karls talkin, immediately he gets a big head and goes "uhhhhhhhm", really takes his time, completely unaware that they're feigning interest.
Ricky's impression of Karl's dad always gets me 😂
That were reet nice
2:05 Don't mind me ,I'm just saving my favourite moments from each episode for my next round trip 👍
Love Ricky’s little accents
A shame they only made 200 or so hours of this.
foreshadowing of Steve's confusion about where passports come from :0

Jesus I bet you remember this comment and now your having nostalgia yw
"I caa...that is shit"
Rare Karl laugh at 59:52
Also at a little bit after 25 min
ou7ofspace He laughs quite a bit. He laughed when he said "the bug head one" as well. He's just not a loud laugher (nobody is compared to Ricky) and it isn't as noticeable when he isn't talking at the same time.
I love steve affecting a limp because he's afraid of looking lazy to perfect strangers. Hahaha
+Nu Eee Theres actually a scene from peep show which has that in about just going to the fist floor in a lift and affecting a limp

When Karl talks about his family it always makes me think of the TV show Shameless
2:12 I love Ricky's "northerner" impression
I love the Victoria plumb domino effect at 11:33
"..alright.."
This episode's such a classic 😂
I fucking love when Steve does his satire bit
'Oh and err, have a good Christmas'
"What are you? You're not anything." Always tickles me that line.
3:21 Best noise made by Steve ever
arguing in the supermarket in the fruit and veg section, that was "Bananadrama" 😁 classic Pilkington
Jellyfish ON the ark? Didn't anybody else see the flaw in this.

Title aged well
by far the best episode!
Jellyfish are so many now they're a problem prophet Carl

He MUST know the clues are shit. He MUST know.
What happens to the sound quality around the 25 minute mark?
Thought it was just mine that was like that
yeah but, do we need turtles
" Noah's quite good looking, so you're 'appy." HA
Possibly my favourite Rockbusters.
After several years of listening through the show I think I agree with this!
i love that Ricky and Steve were so confused by the cat story that they didn't even make fun of it at first
thats fucking heartbreaking, atleast my family made an effort in the holidays .
Anyone got a link to the big 'eded kid?
