Poor Karl, then again he couldn't get the clue right as Ricky was messing around in Karl's office trying to spray deodorant all over the place. Karl was really annoyed in this episode, as clearly shown when he was reading the last clue in that soft, sad voice: Karl: "The place where yer go, teh...take yer dog a walk 'an that" Ricky: THE..THE...THE PLACE WHERE YER GO, TEH TAKE YER DOG A WALK" Karl: "Oh, forget it then." *Plays a link* And then Ricky and Steve yelling "No do it! Do it!" In the background as Karl fades them out. Haha, brilliant! Makes me laugh every time!
that moment when Gervais goes "COME ONNNN" AND Karl SAYS "shuuuuuut uppppppp" encapsulates how annoying Ricky can get...So so funny...Rickys laugh never fails to put a smile on my face
Love how Karl always goes 'err...' before reading out the Rockbusters answers, like he's thinking 'right, get this one out quickly so Ricky doesn't notice it's wrong'.
I’ve never noticed before, but at 57:07 you can hear Steve scream ‘Karl, for goodness sake!’. Each time I start a new round I always hear something in each episode that I never have previously.
+zedooncadhz yeah I really don't understand the mixing, in S1 it was exceedingly poor and in S2 it was mixed a lot more professionally, but S3 gets worse? Makes no sense hahaha
Ricky clapping to perk Karl up and yelling "come on!" is one of the most annoying things to have ever been on radio. And he does it's on several episodes. Love that finally here Karl says "shuttt uuuupppp!" through clenched teeth.
The funniest rockbusters. I nearly died the first time I heard Ricky go "RIGHT THIS IS ROCKBUSTERS WITH KARL PILKINGTON GO". One of my favourite moments
Am I the only one who loves how annoying Ricky is? I think he makes the show funnier when Karl always complains that "I couldn't concentrate because Ricky was…"
Agreed. Ricky's enthusiasm, especially about Karl, is incredibly infectious. He was the perfect person to meet Karl. At first I thought his laugh was a bit obnoxious, but now I love hearing it.
This film clip is so clever, honestly. Karl isn't stupid at all. The careful placement of the Bob Marley CD earlier in the show knowing that he'd done it to fit into the clip.
Yep an absolute genius who thinks there was a census of fish in the sea. 😂 There's plenty of other examples of how stupid he is but I can't be bothered to list them as some people will still think he's a genius.
49:58 and 50:36 Karl always has such specific ages in mind for things like this, in all the episodes whenever he guesses someone’s age it’s always a very specific age like “38”, never “around 40”
I like how Karl says that if he won the lottery he wouldn't want to travel around the world, when he ends up traveling around the world and effectively winning the lottery.
The small bit at 26:43 about roleplaying games always cracks me up, I love how it was still considered such a nerdy thing to do back then even if LoTR and Harry Potter had gone mainstream.
45:29 "Moaning with bells" is a brilliant summation of A Christmas Carol. Poor people moaning, a rich man moaning about the poor people, and ghosts moaning about the rich person moaning. With bells in the background.
Lobe how Karl starts the Scrooge clip by being "Only 20 minutes" late since Rickey and Steve were having a go at him about being 20 minutes late in season 2 one episode, wonder if it's just a councidence!
Same... Time is hard to keep when u loop these episodes every night so i just assumed it wasnt long ago they discussed the lateness. Im sure KP meant that. Nearly everything he says in his movie clips have been heard in previous eps!
The number of words in the English language is: 1,025,109.8. This is the estimate by the Global Language Monitor on January 1, 2014. Antediluvian is the word Karl is talking about which means old.
He couldn't be more of a typical philosophy student of he tried, likes to seem intelligent and well traveled but doesn't want to do any of the work lol. Philosophy... For people who want to sound intelligent at parties.
I always take comfort in listening to these. Even though these were recorded in the 2000s, it feels like they were recorded yesterday.
There's some slightly ropey jokes from Gervais and Smerch lol albeit sarcasm and satire, but wouldn't fly at all these days
Apart from the Daniel Bedingfield,Rik Waller,Chris Moyles references. And Dido,Jono Coleman..

I genuinely think that Steve has always made up what's been said on emails, he's always conveniently on emails 😂
I've wondered that! 🤔 😉
They probably aren't even dressed
I have always believed he made up dickers but apparently he has posted on a reddit group. 😂

Lanzagrote
You should say "You mean Lanzagrotty?" and see what kinds of looks you get.
That has to be the best 'that movie thing' Karl put together. I'd say he picked the Bob Marley CD just so it would work with the movie.
I like how Karl says that if he won the lottery he wouldn't want to travel around the world, when he ends up traveling around the world and effectively winning the lottery.
This episode is one of the top tier ones.

Probs in the top episodes I would say.

Probably the worst Rockbusters of all time
I was just going to comment the same thing, of all the times Ricky says that it’s terrible this time it really is awful! But in the best way possible!
I think Karl saved the worst of his Rock Buster clues for the podcasts.
Always brings me back to reality whenever they read out an email or web address really slowly and say "all one word"
how many times in all the series do we reckon Ricky has said play a record? must be about 75
