    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.

      "The Price is Ricky?"
      While very funny in a 'Karl' way, it's bordering on sad how much Karl appears to want to ingratiate himself with Ricky, trying to use his name in desperately forced ways. Though now that I think about it, he did the same with Steve's name later on.

    I love how in the last two episodes with Claire, it was much calmer, much smoother and it sounded more like a professional radio show. The minute Karl is back is already back to the old chaos. Within seconds of Karl's return - Ricky: "I'M ALREADY ANNOYED" and the ads don't work and along with the start of rockbusters, educating Ricky, and "if you're mam's heavy you win a CD". That's why I fucking love you Karl

    • @Scallion_D

    I'm starting to realize what makes The Ricky Gervais so surpisingly relistenable through all these years. It's a deep story about both friendship and work at the same time. We are constantly reminded of how painfully dependent these three fellas are on each other in order to make a product that has a passing resemblance of being radio. And through that very struggle, the radio show emerges. It's the perfect radio show 'about nothing'. And of course everything.

I heard on radio yesterday "scientists are two years from cloning mammoths" and I had to pull over from nostalgia overload/laughing. I want to know how long they said it would be on this episode and see if they are on schedule! Also gives me an excuse to listen to them all again. VIVA MANMOTH
