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.
Seriously, what is it about this show that makes so great for multiple viewings? Honestly, whether they knew it or not, they were one of the best comedy trios of ALL time!
I agree Brian. I only just discovered it post “After Life” on Netflix. I wanted to do a deep dive into Ricky’s background & started with Season 1. Karls’ evolution from silence to reluctant participant. All three make it what it is. I’ve spit up on myself twice while laughing uncontrollably. Grateful it was just water.
After listening to all of these numerous times & loving them even more. What would be amazing would be the 'in between' record chats they have off air.......gold dust!!! 💪💪💪
I know this has been said in the comments before on another video (possibly every one), but I really do love how so many of Karl's stories start with "everything's normal" XD It cracks me up. 49:13
I've only just noticed that one of the Songs of Phrase prizes is the Fight Club VHS Karl bought a few weeks earlier to use for his film thing, but never used.
"Now that's what I call bollocks" "All right, calm down, that's just cheapened it! Oh no, once again.." "Sorry play a record -" "Awh tits." Another brilliant Steve moment.
@@omikronweapon Karl: I was like a pig in... what's that saying? I loved it anyway Steve: What IS that saying? Ricky: He nearly said pig in shit. Steve: Thank god he didn't
The difference in tone between the previous episode and this one is crazy, would love to know more about the Ricky/Karl intervention that happened between these two episodes!
@@georgelloyd5551 just the vibe between them in this episode compared to episode 33 (and few before that too), much more relaxed and way less tension between Karl and Ricky. They mention in this episode that that’ve talked since the last one, so I meant that I’d love to know what sort of discussion they had about it!
@@a_b897 Yes I would love to be able to see that too, Karl is in a good mood and even making lots of jokes this week! Just to be a fly on the wall for any of their non air conversations would be incredible.
All of Karl's stories relate to his primary school experiences. It's like nothing happened to him in life between primary school and meeting Ricky and Steve - well, except the paper round and meeting Susanne.
Daniel Encomienda it was brilliant. I workd in a card & gift shop when I stumbled upon xfm by accident. Loving Ricky Gervaise, I listened & sometimes customers would be in the shop & Ricky would yell "Bollocks" or "you're talking shit" & customers would have a weird look on their face. This show got me through work
+Alfie Godfrey it's weird, isn't it? I can fall asleep just fine although Ricky keeps laughing like a hyena every 10 seconds.... Glad I'm not the only one ^^
***** they were still doing this long after the success of the office, you hear them mocking the fact that they do it for the money in one of the later seasons. you also hear them constantly saying how that xfm is a "tinpot radio station" and how they get paid poorly. I've heard ricky say to steve how they do need to do this in the later seasons, but they continue just so that they can pick karl's brain. ricky also says how karl is "his gift to the world".thats ricky's reason anyway. the office is what made ricky and steve, an idiot abroad is what 'made' karl. it wasn't xfm lol
It's an oldskool webcam which means it's an image that updates every 10 seconds or summut, there's a few screenshots of it you can find.. but it's not full motion videos of the shows we're missing out on.. sadly
Imagine if you didn’t listen to these in order. Imagine if you’re new to the show and you happened to put this episode on. It would be incomprehensible!
That’s what my bf always says when he overhears me listening to an episode. He says he doesn’t know how I follow it with all of them shouting over one another and that the noise gives him a head ache 😂 I explained to him that if he listened in order, it would all somehow make perfect sense 😂
Stephen, to Ricky: “At the best of times you sound like you’re selling the Evening Standard.” I’m not British and have no reference for this but it’s still funny.
+Richard Allen After graduating I think I worked out that I'd spent more time listening to the Ricky Gervais Show than I had in lectures and tutorials!
“Have they done yours in small print because you’ve got special eyes?” wins for me in this episode, it’s so poorly thrown together but and Steve’s response just always gets me
I love how Carl says We don't know what it did next. We don't know if it jumped on a bus and went to Spain and next time he talks about it the monkey did go to Spain
Karl is right about the myth about how the Elephant Man got his name. He's also fair in stating it as his favourite film, one of my fav's too I must say.

thank you man moth
Any monkey news lately?
Man Moth you are a hero xx 😘❤

Brian Hurley that's exactly the same thought I just had listening to this episode for probably the 50th time and loving it.
I agree Brian. I only just discovered it post “After Life” on Netflix. I wanted to do a deep dive into Ricky’s background & started with Season 1. Karls’ evolution from silence to reluctant participant. All three make it what it is. I’ve spit up on myself twice while laughing uncontrollably. Grateful it was just water.
Part of it is that it's unscripted, it's the best example of completely organic comedy I know
@@somemong989 Yeah the XFM shows are really free flowing but i reckon that large parts of the podcast were scripted or at least heavily planned.
@@kaiplotnikoff9169 the podcast was largely lifted from these shows, but with Ricky over reacting to everything Karl says like its brand new
The Elephant MAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNN iS mY FAVOrite F I L M
Perfectly typed lol
DONT TALK TO ME ABOUT SCIENCE PLEEEEEEEEEEASE MAKE ME TELEVISION
ChiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiNeeeeeeeese
Kid!
@@StardawgGuava 😂😂
Steve is the glue that keeps this altogether. Seriously underrated
😍
Hamster
So true. Comes out with some brilliant moments too
is that you, Merchant?
I’ve always thought that Steve’s acc got some pretty good comedy in him
"It's hard keep it serious when I'm saying things like I'm sick of you putting a Burger King bag on me head"
After listening to all of these numerous times & loving them even more. What would be amazing would be the 'in between' record chats they have off air.......gold dust!!! 💪💪💪
Steve (Alright ladies what can I get you to drink ? What do you think I'm made of money I meant half a mild or summat) Merchant
Brilliant intro. Ricky might be a fat shit-stirrer from Reading, but the boy's got talent.
i*
Eyes bulging with imagined riches
King of the Incels.
Is your name really Will Smith?
I know this has been said in the comments before on another video (possibly every one), but I really do love how so many of Karl's stories start with "everything's normal" XD It cracks me up. 49:13
Either that or “he was born, right...”
"it's the same technique that Hitler used..."
".. Play a record"
The pause gets me every time 😂
I've only just noticed that one of the Songs of Phrase prizes is the Fight Club VHS Karl bought a few weeks earlier to use for his film thing, but never used.
Shambles
Panned and scanned
Steve: But, Darren Brown himself admits it's not paranormal. It's a trick.
Karl, almost whispering: hmm...is it?
The thing I love about these shows is that every single episode seems to be someone's favourite whenever scrolling through the comments
24:00 when Ricky does an impression of the previous show is both accurate and hilarious.
"Karl there eating a hamburger" 😂
"Now that's what I call bollocks"
"All right, calm down, that's just cheapened it! Oh no, once again.."
"Sorry play a record -"
"Awh tits." Another brilliant Steve moment.
Ricky says ohh shit
what's the one where they go "he almost said [cock]" "thank God he didn't" :P
@@omikronweapon Karl: I was like a pig in... what's that saying? I loved it anyway
Steve: What IS that saying?
Ricky: He nearly said pig in shit.
Steve: Thank god he didn't
not only was he good at magic
but his maths was brilliant
Can't get enough these shows help me go to sleep every night
Man Moth you're a legend mate, you're like the 4th member of the team, I listen to these every night, cheers!!
Listened to this loads of times, only just noticed Ricky saying ‘no I wanna wipe it’ at 05:26 😂😂😂
"He even makes twaddle complicated" Ha, I love that line.
I love how on the songs of phrase, the last word is always a lot shorter than the rest. The abruptness of it always cracks me up.
When I think I have solidified an episode as my favorite, I hear another amazing one. This one, is, amazing.
There really is no outright best episode.
I honestly couldn't pinpoint an exact fav. When there's so many great ones.
fat babeh episode is one of my faves
A faulty tooth... 42th forthy tooth God that Darren's good isn't he
Wild Weetabix KSP
Ayy 111 yesss
Cheers

The vibe in series 2 is definitely somewhat different than the previous series
The difference in tone between the previous episode and this one is crazy, would love to know more about the Ricky/Karl intervention that happened between these two episodes!
What do you mean? More upbeat in this one?
@@georgelloyd5551 just the vibe between them in this episode compared to episode 33 (and few before that too), much more relaxed and way less tension between Karl and Ricky.

yeah the previous episode was kinda the worst in various ways.. im glad they realised and didn't continue further down that road
Recon they either had a slap on the wrist or Karl lost his shit totally.
When Karl starts with “No but I’m just saying…” pre-tirade, you’re always in for a treat!
All of Karl's stories relate to his primary school experiences. It's like nothing happened to him in life between primary school and meeting Ricky and Steve - well, except the paper round and meeting Susanne.
What about working at cordon bleu? Or talking his way out of getting mugged in Manchester?!
Lol yeah. Thought the same.
Can be as result of a traumatic childhood. it doesn't sound great.
@@lilme7052 Blocking out the rest of his childhood, you mean? At any rate the man's doing well now
@@AA-hg5fk homeless man calling him a dickhead.
"A playful little clown." "Little?"
I know 😂
I'm jealous of everyone who got to experience these shows live. How was this a real show?
I'm not. Imagine trying to drive with this on the car radio. Wouldn't be able to concentrate
Daniel Encomienda it was brilliant. I workd in a card & gift shop when I stumbled upon xfm by accident.

@@barringtonfisher87 Your Takin Shit, Bollocks. You round headed buffon, imbecile. Ramblins of a mad man.
I remember listening to the show in the car with my dad and he turned it over coz he hated Gervais' laugh
@@barringtonfisher87 I would have loved to see a customer's face as "there's this hairy Chinese kid" was blurted out
getting me through A levels, nice to listen to before bed
Same here, fall asleep to xfm every night :-)
Same here, it's like yoga for your brain
+Alfie Godfrey it's weird, isn't it? I can fall asleep just fine although Ricky keeps laughing like a hyena every 10 seconds.... Glad I'm not the only one ^^
That's when I started listening to them and that's what I use/used them for. :-)
Make sure to register for your exams XD
If only they would get back together for a new series or 5
amen
+Spiritual Mind they never did this for money lol, apart from karl. this is essentially playtime for ricky
***** they were still doing this long after the success of the office, you hear them mocking the fact that they do it for the money in one of the later seasons. you also hear them constantly saying how that xfm is a "tinpot radio station" and how they get paid poorly. I've heard ricky say to steve how they do need to do this in the later seasons, but they continue just so that they can pick karl's brain. ricky also says how karl is "his gift to the world".thats ricky's reason anyway. the office is what made ricky and steve, an idiot abroad is what 'made' karl. it wasn't xfm lol
***** for karl atleast yeah
***** I'm not sure, but I think so. I geuss eventually he stopped being "a fat useless git who knows nothing about broadcasting" lol
"It does a runneh with the gun and the moneh. No ones seen it since."
😂
50:49 Steve “just busy asking for coffee” I just heard this now in my 6th rerun of these, this guys quick wit is astounding.
I'd love to see some of the footage from the webcam!!!
I think you mean ‘frottage’
Cartoon version it is
Yeah has anyone seen any of the footage? I’ve only seen a short clip of when Ricky hits Karl with a cork
It's an oldskool webcam which means it's an image that updates every 10 seconds or summut, there's a few screenshots of it you can find.. but it's not full motion videos of the shows we're missing out on.. sadly
"Have they wasted a page in the book for whatever _you_ are?"
Karl is brilliant in his insulting! 😅 x
45:28 you can HEAR Karl is smirking when he says "well..." cos he's so pleased with the put down he gave Steve!!!
54:49 absolutely monstrously good one liner from Merchant sailed straight under the radar
These three get me through some hard times
3rd or 4th listen through of all these and find one that I haven't heard... fantastic!!
This has to be up there in the list of best episodes!
Man Moth you legend. thanks for the uploads
Ricky: Karl's not gonna talk as much this week
- Literally 10 seconds later -
Ricky: Alright Karl? Had a good week?
'Not only was he good at magic, his maths was brilliant' hahaha
the elephant maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnn is my favourite FILM
Imagine if you didn’t listen to these in order. Imagine if you’re new to the show and you happened to put this episode on. It would be incomprehensible!
That’s what my bf always says when he overhears me listening to an episode. He says he doesn’t know how I follow it with all of them shouting over one another and that the noise gives him a head ache 😂 I explained to him that if he listened in order, it would all somehow make perfect sense 😂
Karl thinking that the elephant man's mam got trampled by an elephant , is the most underrated stupidest thing he's ever said.
IIRC, the opening credits really do give that impression.
“I’m ‘avin’ no part of it,” says Ricky as he lets it happen. 😂
season 2 is by far the best
51:36 I'm forever in awe of some of the things Ricky is able to do with his vocal chords
Stephen, to Ricky: “At the best of times you sound like you’re selling the Evening Standard.” I’m not British and have no reference for this but it’s still funny.
It’s probably a newspaper sold by homeless people
"is a happy playful little clown!" "Little?"
Lol I love the way he says "little..."
Third run through here, been helping me since the start of my degree :)
+Richard Allen After graduating I think I worked out that I'd spent more time listening to the Ricky Gervais Show than I had in lectures and tutorials!
I'm up to run 5. xD
Have you listened to the Clare ones and if so, which run did you start listening to them? It was run 3 for me.
How many times now?
That faulty tooth joke was the best thing Karl's ever said
“Have they done yours in small print because you’ve got special eyes?” wins for me in this episode, it’s so poorly thrown together but and Steve’s response just always gets me
'Too much lyin' low'
100%
see you guys on the next playthrough
See you on there...
"No, I wanna wipe it!" The most underrated line from the whole series.
Agreed! Never got a reaction
I read this comment literally as he said out loud 😭
39:51
"Yeah but... she got... could 'ave a... a fourlty twooth"
:D Love Karls little jokes!
This is the best episode.
Incorrect
Darren subjective really
He even makes that complicated. He even makes TWAddle complicated.
Man moth gets a mention in this one!
Haha I loved the intro (:
45:46 "Boo hoo hoo it won't do, listen to the Gallagher boys and stop crying your heart out on Xfm 104.9." ###one of Ricky's best radio lead in's haha
I love how Carl says We don't know what it did next. We don't know if it jumped on a bus and went to Spain and next time he talks about it the monkey did go to Spain
"Well he would say that... Hitler said that" - such an underrated line
I know the magic square thing is extraordinary, but him getting 'Harris' is unbelievable. Why didn't they talk about that more?
If a magician ever asks you to write something down, you know why…
Steve quipping about the previous owner of Karl's flat being Mr.42 cracks me up every time
Don't mind me -I'm just saving my favourite moments from each episode for my next round trip ... It's the opening this time!!
00:00
20:35 whaat Steve does have great taste in music. Players club by Rappin4Tay 👍🏿💯🔥
"Up to no good" Steve is brilliant
Trouble's brewin'...
“Pulled the rug under my carpet.”
Now that's what I call bollocks
best intro of the XFMs
Wee Hootie McToo and his Jamboree is my favorite band.
One of the best intros
28:31 - could this be a cryptic nod to Mrs Battersby, something we don't properly find out about until the post-xfm podcasts? Weirrrrd init
Karl's 'faulty tooth' - 'forty two' reference shows the brillance and creativity of his mind.
I would never in a million years think Karls fave film would be a David Lynch one.
"Have they done yours in sorta small print, cuz you've got special eyes"
May be the 1st ever "let him finish" from Ricky
I love how Ricky and Steve feign offense when Karl makes the Hitler comparison
R: “Play a record.”
S: “.....What!?”
45:28 "Have they done yours in sort of small print because you've special eyes?"
+Eric Hardee He's happy with that
This is hands down one of my favourite bits. You can hear the expression on Karl’s face as he says it
Who thought about recording these guys and holding on to the masters. Way before his/her time.
*whir* xfm 104.9 EAT IT! EAT THE BURGER EAT THE BURGER-its coming out-NAAAIII
I’ve always loved the fact Steve loves hip hop
"is this normal?" no but that's why it's brilliant!
all they seem to have played backk then was Placebo and Coldplay lol
"Be my wife Karl. B-be my wife."
Always a new gem each run through!!!!!!!!!!!
40:23 Gets me every time. Hits hard.
I'm older than me mum
42 is the meaning of the Universe!
Karl is right about the myth about how the Elephant Man got his name. He's also fair in stating it as his favourite film, one of my fav's too I must say.
“Is it from Reuters?”
“Well listen, it’s from Steve.”
"What does it say."
"It says 42."
Karl actually sounds quite witty here, comedic as usual but almost socially acceptable comedy
This is XFM, the sort of alter- EHHHH
"Steve emailed it in. He got it from the net."
"Oh, okay."
29:26 lol at karls gaydar going off
CORNISHDUDE hahahahahahahah
Faulty tooth ... that Derren Brown's good ...
Faulty tooth Holy fuck, absolute genius.
ooh really notice Ricky's breathing here.
If Karl later that evening watched Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy I'm sure he'd freak like never before.
Steve is hilarious
