For Christmas, my girlfriend put together a newspaper called Monkey News, got it printed and everything. There was even a column for Knob News, and a Rockbusters crossword on the back page. Best gift I’ve ever had.
To save you some time: 23:04 - The Bank Robbery 56:55 - The Spa 1:10:30 - The London to Brighton Bike Ride 1:36:54 - Kirsty Morris 1:53:15 - The Bassist 2:26:01 - The Russian TV Show 2:36:50 - The New York Fire Department 2:55:38 - The Jockey
Karl's complete credulity and sincerity, Steve's straight man of genuine curiosity and accepting Karl's story, and Ricky's rapid swings between maniacal laughter and anger. The perfect combination yet to be recreated.
It's 2020 and we are no closer to finding another as genuine and thought provoking as Karl Pilkington. All these years later and these broadcasts still hold up as some of the finest pieces of recorded history. I have yet to find another like mind as KPs. Id rather be a blind moth....& so would I Karl, so would I. Genius on another level. Brilliant.
Cus we are so sensitive to day. A show with cheky freak of the week !! The gay's, nudist, Chinese people all super funny bits. Twitter would go mad 😄 Stay safe all 😷👍🏼
Steve actually keeps this together. He's the only one who tells Ricky to shut up. He wants to hear the stories and gets angry when it's interrupted. It kind of reminds me of 3 lads in a boozer on a Saturday night.
@Flicks don’t worry I feel you, I do that as well. Listening to these while drinking is a fucking wail of a time just by myself with these 3 chatting shit
Not at all. I listen to these at the pubs I perform at in-between sets/ciggies. Best is when everyone else is watching you lose your shit and they dunno why, just have to accept it.
Ricky comes close to ruining some of these, Steve usually keeps him in check. I'm still mad Gervais utterly wrecked the kangaroo knob bit and we never got to hear Karl's logic on why eating it would be easier on a full belly than an empty one
And the best bit of those best bits is when Ricky and Steve correctly anticipate all the salient features of the London-Brighton Bike Race tale, only for Karl to pipe up with "So she's cyclin' along, right, when this tricycle...[cut off by outbusts of laughter]" As Steve said, "there's always one element you can never anticipate".
"SHUT UP GERVAIS!!!" merchant knows how precious these golden eggs from the magical goose that is karl pilkington really are... just amazingly hilarious
@@gymm-ic8pz its an art really. loud and abrupt. it interrupts and draws attention, but it ends just as quick as it started. ricky mustve been having the most fun in his life during the XFM radio show days
@Mattress Store I’d say that’s being optimistic, too many times have I seen fucked up grammar. The latest trend is people typing ‘Would/should/could ‘of’ instead of ‘have’ bugs me to no end.
@@singu7arity Yes! 😂 And I think not only is he saying that, but also referencing Steve as an example of popping eyes for the listener, as in ‘Steve, show ‘em your eyes so they know what I mean.’ Double whammy from Mr Dilkington
I love how in the later editions all Karl has to do is set the scene and Ricky either starts laughing or gets angry because he knows what’s coming next “There was this game of cards going on”
Karl's three foolproof answers when faced with irrefutable evidence that he's talking bollocks: "It was ages ago" "The story's nearly finished" "Weird init?"
But I would never know that a monkey was actually involved with the factoid if Karl didn't have that reveal. That reveal clinches the truth that it was a monkey.
Koko actually took photos with 35 mm camera, She loved kittens, used sign language to communicate with caretakers, and loved to watch tv. Koko actually answered , in sign language, questions from forums online. Actually met Robin Williams, and when told he had died, cried. R.I.P. Koko.
"What programme is this?" "It's a chat show." "Wh...whose chat show is it?!" "Well it's...it's the monkey's now." Brilliant. Bonus points for Karl hearing Steve suggest Cher was the special guest as a joke, before incorporating her into the story as if it were fact. Definitely one of my favourites.
I've always thought I just "didn't get" Brit humor. As an American I'm conditioned to think you need to couple your jokes with physical comedy. Then I discovered these three men. Last night I tried to listen to the pod while falling asleep and I was in bed laughing until 4:30am. England, protect these three men at all costs.
Yea I'm from Brooklyn NY and discovered karl from the cartoon on HBO and looked online and found all these clips, I couldn't believe it how funny it was
@@jerres9585 It's just Karl's overall ineptitude in his research & his conjecture. He fills in the blanks in his gullible head & he's happy with it. Then he thinks Ricky & Steve are just gonna go with it.
The story of the monkey called 86 that stole a car and drove to Spain had me literally crying with laughter, especially when Karl's explanation of how he drove the car was "it was an automatic".
I love hearing Karl finally crack up and laughing his head off at 1:18:52 onwards. Brilliant stuff, Hilarious! Well done Yak for editing all these compilations together. Cheers.
1:27.30 Karl: "instead of saying 'do you want to meet in a restaurant or a bar', they'd say 'what tree do you want to meet at?' " Ricky: "You're nearly....you're ill" 💀😂😂😂
It's an understanding of absurdity, fool. It takes more understanding than just the thing itself... which is super-simple (= usually unbelievably dumb).
I genuinely think Monkey News became revenge on Ricky and Steve for all their teasing of Karl and times he got his head squoze. He damn well knew how much he wound up Ricky with the feature and used it to his advantage; kudos to Karl
Easliy the funniest thing in comedy history....I was listening to this and started crying...then screaming !!.....then the POLICE CAME TO MY HOUSE!!!!.....Policeman came out....was a little monkey fella....
everyone here saying ricky ruins these i think hes reaction makes these alot of the time. the bit in the kirtsy morris one where ricky says "NO HES GONE TOO FAR THIS TIME" makes me belly laugh everytime. all three make this show together.
But Ricky made trans jokes so now he’s suddenly not funny, never has been and all his solo work is shite because merchant and Karl were the masterminds. You’re completely right, that Ricky playing up to these sections with his reactions really is funnier than the news itself. It’s the genius of the 3, without any of them it wouldn’t be even half as funny.
I love the details he adds, even if any of it were true, I guarantee the amount of little details would be 10% of what he says. _“So this fellow is tired after a long day of work at the brick factory, gets in an argument with the wife about American Idol, he stubs his right big toe and drinks a glass of Florida’s Best orange juice, he calls his mother, Helen on the phone….”_
‘Because now the owner of the chimp, wants to enter it into the Tour De France’ even after all the wild shit he comes up with before it’s this that kills me. Genius.
I’ve been listening to these for over 15 years. I’d be very interested to know how many hours I’ve actually listened too. They help me unwind, help me sleep. It was my dad’s funeral today & I’m ready for bed & it’s on to help me chill out. Peace out & love to all xxx #monkeynewsrules
This is utter hysteria. I’m so blown away by Karl and his naivety, but the way Ricky *explodes* with anger and laughter can only lead me to the conclusion that these are genuine “stories” and Karl believes almost all of them and had to share the news.
I fucking love the clues. There's a chimpanzee playing poker in Vegas and the other poker players are like "we're getting through a lot of nuts tonight lads, weird that innit"

1:53:00 “something’s said”. Funniest moment ever 😅😅
THANK YOU i came looking for this
"Aaaa, forget it then " when Carl gets fed up with Ricky's mouth kills me 😂😂
the story around 2:27:00 about the russian tv show is god-tier
'kept him on'
“So you say Samuel, but do you know the full story....”
Samuel Black well... it’s all bollocks
It's 2019 and we all still listen to xfm to help us sleep 😊, I wish these 3 would return for one finale podcast.
2021 and im still listening to this to goto sleep to
2022!! Fall asleep and wake up to…
“Eyes that pop out there ed............... Steve” - I AM DEAD!!!
*their
It's actually spelt Dick dickmond
@@AA-hg5fk knob
I wish they still did these, KP is a comedy legend
1:18:45 I’ve never heard Karl laugh so hard. He couldn’t even speak. Such a rare treat!
The basis to 9/10 of these story's relies on Karl's belief that Monkey's can easily pass for Humans! 😂
Imo basis is about karl not being able to determine credible news/info sources from fiction and fantasy
Cheering me up during the covid pandemic
@@willgodfrey8286 well said will.
@Red RumOnE well said red.
I genuinely think Monkey News became revenge on Ricky and Steve for all their teasing of Karl and times he got his head squoze. He damn well knew how much he wound up Ricky with the feature and used it to his advantage; kudos to Karl
52:10 will never not have me rolling on my back like a dying fly from laughing so much
Had to thump it in the head
Imposible no cagarse de la risa en esa parte jajsj
Every night for the last 8 years I listen to this guy crazy
Anyone else?
Iv listened to these 3 literally everyday for so many years. Never gets boring. 🐵
My sleep track
44:42 what’s 1.6 CM? “Pop off your trousers” that has to be the most underrated line/comeback in this entire compilation. Brilliant
“He drove to Spain!?”
“It was an automatic.”
"mentalist" cracks me up every time
8:25, 31:27, 2:16:57
carl1212 haha!
I have listened to this more times than I can remember. I never get bored. Cracks me up every time.
I laughed at the first line. Karl saying he's done a bit of research is like a blind kid describing the colour orange.
“And he got the keys to the city”
This part absolutely killed me
More monkey news next week?
"PC Willcox of the NYPD"
Easliy the funniest thing in comedy history....I was listening to this and started crying...then screaming !!.....then the POLICE CAME TO MY HOUSE!!!!.....Policeman came out....was a little monkey fella....
Just a story that 'appened
It was ages ago
@@lochrine-8432 17th century?
Little fella
"Apparently..."
"For some reason..."
"........this tricycle......"
Not long got into these podcasts and can’t get enough of Karl genius 😂😂👍
everyone here saying ricky ruins these i think hes reaction makes these alot of the time. the bit in the kirtsy morris one where ricky says "NO HES GONE TOO FAR THIS TIME" makes me belly laugh everytime. all three make this show together.
But Ricky made trans jokes so now he’s suddenly not funny, never has been and all his solo work is shite because merchant and Karl were the masterminds.
You’re completely right, that Ricky playing up to these sections with his reactions really is funnier than the news itself. It’s the genius of the 3, without any of them it wouldn’t be even half as funny.
@@ItsSVOricky has done much more awful shit than only being transphobic LMAO
2:59:50 "Sometimes they've got fruit on those hats"
Your going to love this one Steve
I love the details he adds, even if any of it were true, I guarantee the amount of little details would be 10% of what he says. _“So this fellow is tired after a long day of work at the brick factory, gets in an argument with the wife about American Idol, he stubs his right big toe and drinks a glass of Florida’s Best orange juice, he calls his mother, Helen on the phone….”_
“Somebody kept on winning em”
"Then this tricycle..."
These videos make me so happy
I love when Ricky laughs 😂 especially the "I'm gonna die" line 😂
I know, people complain about him but I think it makes it funnier when he gets annoyed (most of the time) lol.
C'mon Karl.. he drove to Spain... "It was an automatic"
‘There was this…’ ‘Monkey?’
I love Steve’s tone of voice. 😂
‘Because now the owner of the chimp, wants to enter it into the Tour De France’ even after all the wild shit he comes up with before it’s this that kills me. Genius.
I’ve been listening to these for over 15 years. I’d be very interested to know how many hours I’ve actually listened too. They help me unwind, help me sleep. It was my dad’s funeral today & I’m ready for bed & it’s on to help me chill out. Peace out & love to all xxx
#monkeynewsrules
Could the collective noun for jockeys be “a shortage of jockeys”
This is utter hysteria. I’m so blown away by Karl and his naivety, but the way Ricky *explodes* with anger and laughter can only lead me to the conclusion that these are genuine “stories” and Karl believes almost all of them and had to share the news.
I generally don’t think anyone’s ever told Karl that monkeys can’t speak 😂
Coco speaks
Yep
We need to protect Karl at all costs.
45:10 you can TELL that pissed Steve off so badly 😂
"someone kept winnin em" is one of the funniest things i've ever heard
I fucking love the clues. There's a chimpanzee playing poker in Vegas and the other poker players are like "we're getting through a lot of nuts tonight lads, weird that innit"
