The comparison of cleanup efforts between Lanzarote and 9/11 always gets me. "Sort it out." Pure genius.
The muted laughs of Ricky during Karl's film dubs always crack me up.
52:00
M
Probably why he does it. He knows it's funny
Hahahahaahha I love it
"Last one to the moons a bender" haha
This is one of Steve's best lines, I love it.
Benjamin Ayson i actually laughed at Steve’s jokes for once 😂
Whilst it was completely normal to say bender and to describe stuff as 'gay' in 2004, I wouldn't say these terms now as I'm no longer an adolescent and it is homophobic.
Yawn
@AA-hg5fk Thanks for that random opinion. Keep in mind that's just your opinion. Not mine, jokes are jokes. It could be a problem with your sense of humour?
"Last one to the moon's a bender"
I fricken love you Merchant!
Januaryastral mechant*
your dad it's Merchant
Unomatique
his dad is a merchant?
+your dad mitchell*
+Unomatique- There's a vid on youtube that will explain this for you (; :
"Mechant!!! Stephen Merchant reads out an insult on air"
I honestly think Steve is secret Lord of the Rings fan, lol.
fpGrumms he definitely is..... " it's become a family tradition" is such a bullshit excuse hahaha
was thinking the same thing, but he knows ricky doesnt like it, and doesnt want to seem geeky
fpGrumms of course he is! look at him!
bet he's a Doctor Who fan, too!
He can't remember Frodo's name, arguably the most important character in the whole series, yet he knows that he's a hobbit. Something fishy there..........
He does say he visited a "Shires Horse centre" in this ep.--sounds fishy to me...
"Wind Beneath My Wings" - "play that at auntie Nora's funeral" HA
Wind problems. That's how she's ascending to heaven.
@@McShaggswell Lol.
Still doing the COVID-19 re-listen, and I will continue strong!
Who is with me? Early in the month of March through... who knows?
When you get to series 3 you know its near the end
@@markjackson6151 Not at all. Got all of season 4, five seasons of podcasts, the Guides To, the radio specials, the one off podcast specials.
That being said... I did finish everything. So, now I'm on round 2. At the end of season 1 of xfm.
Here in October 🙌🏻
Here on the night that England was told it would go back into another month of lockdown, unnecessarily
@@HaydnG266 Sorry brother 😓. Stay strong, and keep listening to the bald, manc twat!
I love how Steve and Ricky were annoyed by LotR and their friend
Martin Freeman they mentioned a few minutes later is now playing the main character in the Hobbit.
baseballplayer1251 Haha, I know. I quite like to think of the Hobbit as an Office Christmas Special.
Indefinite Idea That's amazing! Thank you so much :-D
Brilliant...
They also had Ian McKellen in extras saying lines from lotr
They slagged off Harry Potter aswell and had Daniel Radcliffe in extras
The way Karl says "we want some coffee" To the monkey is genuinely one of the best moments of the entire series. Whole new emotion for karl that you never see again lmao
Anyone else listen to these XFM shows religiously? I don't think I've taken a day off from these three blokes for 7 years.
Try 20 years mate, since they first came out.
Rockbusters now sounds realer then Blockbusters
I always love when Steve tries to be cool in front of Ricky, pretending he doesn't like Lord of the Rings or that he doesn't know the names
Watched it recently I couldn’t stop thinking that Steve would’ve creamed himself watching it
Had to go see the trilogy book because it was a family thing, yeah alright smerch 😉
@@Nickersons-Theme Frido, Freda, Frodo. As if he doesn’t know the name of every hobbit in Hobbiton
@@TheDissidentBritthey also mentioned The Getaway
@@qwertyx7tsblack Monday
I did this EXACT Lanzarote trip in 2009/10 the dead artists house, the chucking the water in the hole and watching it shoot up lol identical
was it two northerners giving the tour?
@@magicaIpineapple and did they answer any questions this time?
Did you get ripped off at the little coffee shop as well?
Same! Did it in 2007. About 3 years after this show. Water in the hole didn’t impress me too much but I thought the volcano was pretty cool. No plans on going back though!
20th March 2019 and I'm still listening to them when I go to sleep
September 7th and that.
Until Ricky laughs then i wake up
December 27th 🙋♂️
2020
January 24th 2020.
I love it when Karl returns from vacation.
that's every other episode sometimes 🤣
'olidays, we don't say vacation in Britain
I say toob
The GLEEEM!
Look at the gleam on that lol.
Thats an investment that
Like rope
Karl, "20 offers of marriage... does that annoy you Steve?" Haha best part!
Always drift off listening to these, wake up at 4am, six or so episodes have passed and I feel slightly sad. Try again the next night, same thing happens. Something soothing about three people in a room just talking.
my favorite bit on this episode is steve talking about 'the gleam' on his dads present :D
look at the shine on that, look at the gleam
Like gold rope
Karl's audio editing is actually pretty impressive... It's not easy to cut in and out of film audio smoothly like that while maintaining cohesive ambient noise from the original. Rick and Steve should give him more credit, haha!
Ah so he cuts the 'silent' parts between the actors' lines and uses that ambience behind his own lines. I used to wonder how he made them sound natural and fluid, having messed about with audio editing in the past.
I remember on one of those edits Ricky said to Karl “that’s the best thing you’ve ever done I’m proud of ya” - they are brilliant aren’t they!
Karl is one of those people who's good at pretty much everything they try their hand at simply because they don't give a shit. He's good at dancing, he can draw, he can act, etc
@@danielamin Is Karl good at drawing? I'd really want to see any art of his
@@kevlar3994 He's brilliant! He has like a cool cartoony children's book style. His illustrations are difficult to find on google, they're mostly on his books, but do a search for "Karl Pilkington Sheep Poem" and you'll see one. There's a video on youtube of him drawing for his book as well (he does auntie Nora and the time he flashed his ass to his neighbor), it's called "Ricky Gervais Presents the World of Karl Pilkington".
Ricky laughing in the background of Karl in a film is lovely. Must've made Karl feel great.
The thought of martin freeman trying to get karl's "egg" through is so hilarious to me
Bilbo learned to stick up for the less fortunate 👍
A year ago i was listening to Xfmfor the first time, now ive listened to it 4-5 times. Its also mad how many people ive become friends with because of these
That your Scirocco?
"LOTR is the movie equivalent of an Enya song" -- never have I been so offended and laughed so hard at the same time!
Wasn't Enya on the LOTR soundtrack, though? It's not much of an observation.
@@guskim434 Enya was on one of the soundtracks but that doesn't make it any more or less than an observation. What the person was saying as that the LotR films were the _equivalent_ of an Enya song, meaning they're of the same essence - they're the visual representation of the feel her music.
RiC David i.e Shite.
@@Sean-ce1hu 👌
@@Scallion_D it’s funny, in another comment someone thought Steve was only joking about his disdain for Lord of the Rings because he had seen them all in theatre but it’s the same for me. I saw the trailer for the first one and I thought, okay, looks like an amazing spectacle, I’m going to see it. Get there, watching it, and thinking, what is with all these elves and fairy creatures talking politics about events and other fairy characters I could not possibly care less about? The worst. Then time goes by and the trailer for part 2 comes out and it’s filled with cool special effects and you fall for the same trick again and you’re back in the theatre listening to a 2 hour hearing of the UN fairy council droning on about nonsense, interrupted by some special effects that seemed better in the trailers. Repeat once more for the third one.
The Enya comparison is hilarious.
Steve definitely has Lord of the Rings posters in his bedroom.
He clearly has disdain for the films.
No one's that good at pretending they hate something when they secretly love it.
He slags it off far too much though. Done it a number of times and then pretends he doesn’t remember what the name of Frodo was 😂
@@Jeerioz he literally mentions Beorn who is only ever mentioned in the Hobbit book lmao
@@evoke97 I think that was just coincidence as he tried to remember the correct hobbit name
@@Christoff070 what lol? by coincidence he says something really specific and really far off any other of the hobbits names? i dont think so mate
Still listening in 2024!
" How in the name of god. Can you fill in a volcano? You ignorant twit" that line kills me
But it's not just the holes, they've left the lava everywhere!
@@emilyj9497 but... it’s molten rock..
By far one of my favourite episodes. From Karl's description of the holiday and his idea to 'fill in' a volcano, to saying your soul weights an ounce. Absolutely brilliant!
"no crabs or anything, they wouldn't bother with Lanzarote, alright?" is one of my favourite understated moments of genius by Pilkington.
+ryan west Haha, too true!
iuuty the UK jkmoot
@@donnakinsey5411 no
I don’t get it. Please help
@@BoManton he means the crabs would think lazarote is too shit for them to bother being there.
Its like coffee mate, only its coffee primate hahahahahah
That cracked me up too!!
Steve's dad is a legend
"Egg" hahahaha. Didn't expect that
"4 million tonnes of concrete please"
This should be called "Last One To The Moon's A Bender"
Never really thought about it over these years of listening but Karl's incompetence as a producer is really shown in the problems with the audio levels like Ricky's laugh being insanely loud
@@blunderbuss9984 true that, only some of the earlier ones Steve and Ricky are speaking so quietly you have to put up the volume then Ricky laughs and destroys your ear drum
Karl needed to crank up the compressor for sure!
Most producers aren't on air, Karl was spinning many plates so you need to cut him some slack.
He also had to source the prizes, make the coffee etc
I think Noris/Ross McWhirter had more name drops by Ricky on XFM than anybody...!
Oooh, I dunno. Neil Fox / Dr Fox / Dr Frog
Steve whinging about lord of the rings but he's seen every film
Him pretending to not know the characters names lol he's a Dr. Who fan, of course he likes LOTR haha
You can watch a series of 3 films and not really enjoy them.
I went to that shire horse centre as a child. I think I loved it!
Shire horses were what made history until the industrial revolution happened and they almost went extinct. I think they deserve a museum. They're really beautiful as well.
they also basically fought all wars before WW2, we pretty much owe the modern world to them.
I went there as a teenager. With my next door neighbours and their daughters. The make shire horse got a huge erection. Like a telescope!! We couldn’t have been ushered on faster.
I always feel a bit bad the fact that Ricky never seems to invite Steve to any parties or nights out.
Chris Sweeney steve doesn't seem to invite ricky to things either, though.. but I still feel bad for steve I don't know why
J. Peterse well Ricky has loads of friends and doesn’t need Steve but Steve is a lonely geek without many friends so he needs all he can get. But Ricky doesn’t want his cool friends to think he and Steve are more than just coworkers.
How do you not realise what a load of obvious shite that is?
Steve has his own family and friends.
I saw a video of them on Alan Carr where Steve says Ricky hasn't even been to his house. Brutal. Yet Ricky seems to be more than willing to hang out with celebs as much as possible. I like Ricky a lot but this trait of his is bad.
Just got a David Brent: Life on the Road advert before the video started.
The film quiz on this show is absolutely brilliant I love it
Take a shot every time Steve says "Interminable"
Arbitrary
Man alive...
Sure, sure
Nice one man moth and I love how you didn't litter these with adds . 👍🏻👍🏻
0:23 "And over there, with his little sunburnty, baldy head, little Karl Pilkington" 😂Already funny
''Jesus it's a talking monkey!''
Hahahahaha
"Freedo...Frodo...Fridah, saying goodbye to Björn" one of the funniest things Smerch has said
Björn and Benny
I think Merchant has let on he's a need that read Tolkien as Bjorn or 'Beorn' is only in the Hobbit, not LOTR.
36:10 “Egg” is the most Karl answer ever. It’s nonsense, but at the same time could be considered a valid opinion
@@WollongongWacko It's like being asked to name a type of nut and saying "shell".
I love Karl, I need to listen at least every two days
"I bought her to get me an extra... sorta... Get her to bought me an extra game for it."
Bid lin
Steve going OTT trying to diss ‘nerds’ who like LOTR screams of a nerd trying to deflect his own insecurities 🤣
Any time I play an RPG I make a mage called Gloplin thanks to this episode.
She looks effing gormless with a cap on
"Play a record. You've gotta put some work in, you're in your 30's now. You've gotta knuckle-down."
Wise words Ricky.
"Freda saying good-bye to Bjorn and Benny..." LMAO
Ricky repeating "The gleam!" Kills me!!!
Love ya work, Man Moth
lol LOTR Return of the King won the best picture Oscar. I love TRGS and LOTR. I wonder what they think of Martin Freeman starring in The Hobbit.
doesn't mean it's any good.
@@lilme7052 lotr is objectively good. you might not like it, but there is no possible justification for saying its bad
@@oremstale8558 don't know what I was on that day. it's not bad.
@@lilme7052 fair enough 😂
I think I've heard "out of time" by blur a thousand times
Karl's scheme about "sorting out" the volcanoes is possibly the dumbest thing he's ever said.
Why? You can bulldoze things flat.. why not push the debris up into the hole? Time consuming and expensive but it could be done.
Excuse me, what about 'how would I know which one I was?' the doppelganger part?
its so weird going back to these and remembering old news. totally forgot about the nikey sweat shop scandel
Steve’s reaction to “egg” is so wholesome
As an Expat currently living in China, I LOVE the China-heavy episodes! From the XFM radio shows, to the podcasts, and even an Idiot Abroad...these guys love to chat about China! Haha!
Emily J have you seen any hairy kids?
Are there any homeless there? You never see a Chinese homeless...
Not yet! But I will keep looking!
Actually no! I did in Hong Kong, but that really doesn't count...
22:30 - Karl unknowingly describes a really important concept in statistics - sampling error!
I went to lanzarotte. Went to the volcanos and it was foggy. Never saw a single one.
"She'll make things more interesting for me"
that's sweet really.
too bad we never got to hear how, cuz ricky nd steve interrupted ;/
53:40 Ricky's laughter rupturing through that nonsense, magical.
I don't know if it's because I listen to these on a cycle day after day and not once a week like how they were broadcast, but it feels like they discuss Karl's thesis on the Killing of Georgie every show!
Any other motifs like this that people can think of?
Every episode for me is : hairy Chinese kid, little gay fellas, Steve getting bullied by Karl, rock busters and then a childhood story by Karl as the cherry on top.
@@LittleWittleKitty The perfect formula for a radio show!
I commute 120 miles a week by bike and listen to these 80% of the time. Can’t begin to imagine how many times I’ve been through them.
love these
It's like coffeemate, primate... haha
I know you have had a rough day and your hands all day . OMG. Too funny 😁😁😁😁
"keep a couple, fill the rest in, tidy it up".......... Classic !
That should be in the video title
We need to get that DVD
Karl's Egg answer is mental lol.
Ooh, I'm the luckiest girl in the worllld.
I love lotr but I completely agree with Steve about how drawn out the ending is
Every time I listen to this episode I get so frustrated with Steve and Ricky for talking over Karl when he’s talking about the trip to the volcano and what Suzanne said to try and make the trip more exciting for him. They interrupt him twice during that sentence and he never gets the chance to finish it. We’ll never know what Suzanne said. It’s so annoying 😂
I do believe Steve genuinely dislikes Lord of the Rings, and that it isn't some act to impress Ricky. He's been whinging about it for years now, and evidentially with friends other than Ricky (his mate he mentions). To be honest I think the people in these comments are defensive cause they like it XD
roxxyfoxify correct. Personally I'd rather watch paint dry
Lord of the Rings is incredible though. It's sad that he hates it
Boring.
Hes right though, i remember watching the 3rd movie in the theater and wondering when it was just going to fucking end. The idea of that movie winning an academy award is an absolute joke.
Yeah but who doesn't like LOTR??
Ricky and Steve really do talk some sh*t sometimes.. and then they give Karl a hard time for some of the things he says.
head Chinaman. wonder if Steve has seen those films now.
the difference is that they are clearly talking shit but Karl is so stone faced it's hard to tell whether he's serious or not.
do you not know the expression stone faced?
chunkycake101 it does make perfect sense genius
Ricky: "I wouldn't do it."
Steve: "I wouldn't do it either."
Karl: "Yeah, I wouldn't do it."
Ricky: "WHY NOT??"
Love their LOTR rants. 😂
34:45 - i love when ricky winds karl up about his holidays 😂
1:01:20 Oh he's done you again mate!
Who else loves Ricky’s Spanish narrrators voice
Can't believe Steve or Ricky didn't jump on 'work hard, you need the holidays' 😂
What a coincidence. The US vs Soviet space race famously started when Yuri Gagarin said "Last one to the moon is a bender".
Been to Lanzarote, its exactly as Karl describes it haha, the trip was as shit as it sounds as well
You’ve been on your hands all day!
20:20 "lazy, lazy Rick "😂
"here they go, wheyyy up to heaven" lol always so morbid but cracks me up
Steve slags off lord of the rings and hands out children of the corn
Steve should be in lord of the rings
@@pvthudson5069 steve is lord of the rings
@@WollongongWacko He IS Queen's Boulevard
Steve slags off Lord of the Rings yet is a Star Wars fan and doesn't seem to understand the irony there (and here I thought the British had irony as a sixth sense...).
I don't like Lotr movies particularly but surely they must understand how influential and genius Lotr is in the fantasy literature genre? It was such a compelling fantasy world that almost everything after it has taken from it and it still stands on its own. Think of how impressive of an artifact it is, an imaginary alternate world "real" enough to be meaningful to millions simulated in the brain of a single man and explained to others originally only through writing. The point of the books isn't only the story/action but the lifelike world that is groundbreaking in literary terms.
Nah.
Ricky almost certainly hasn't read the books and Steve was just sucking up to him as he often did. I know Steve had watched the films and I agree all three were crap!
@@JustinKlineTheComedian what an interesting, thought-provoking comment. Thank you for that.
How the fuck is egg the same as leg......
Isn’t Martin Freeman in lord of the rings?? So Ricky and Steve just take the piss out of Lord of the rings and then Ricky says he had dinner with him in the next sentence haha
Jesus Christ..
NO, Martin Freeman is NOT in Lord of the Rings. He is in The Hobbit, which came out 8 years after this broadcast... knobhead.
@@DubbleTee what a delightful young man you are
@@user-uh9ut7uu9c Probably has orc written on his school books.
Back in that day, going to a drunken get-together with Ricky, Karl and Martin Freeman and their respective partners would have been so much fun
It's interesting they've all been with their partners for "ages" as Karl would say but all never married.
@@feelthejoy Martin and his eventually split in 2016!
It's funny if you imagine the clapping at the start IS Steve slapping Carl's head.
I went to Lanzarote in the late 90s and can confirm it is groty
I LOVE how much Steve hates Lord of the rings
The day Bilbo came to Karls rescue at a party
Ricky's always banging on about how many holidays Karl has. it's normal to have around 21-23 but if he was at the station for a number of years, he will have clocked it up to about 27/28 days for the year
Especially as he works Saturdays and 6 days a week, it is very normal to have that many, I always thought this too!
Ricky doesn't know how work works.
hes just winding Karl up, its really not much to do with how many holidays he has, its just a tool for him to annoy karl
So true. When he says "we have loads of jobs" he's equating a full-time 9-5 job to him pissing about doing various stuff; that pisses me off. Does he think his life is worse than nurses, factory workers, oil riggers etc.? He's a dick for saying that, he's got it easy, and I can understand Karl's anger.
Rick loves teasing Steve, throughout that New Year's Eve antidote you could tell Steve was pissed he wasn't there and Rick loves it
Albert Haddenham anecdote*
Yeah Ricky was a prick when he was telling that story.
