I agree, the King of shit stirring but I love every minute of it. But it’s been Ricky that goes on about Karl’s round head and Steve’s always been quiet about it until he said the balloon lol.
It’s so funny when he say’s that lol 😂 Steve is usually the mediator between Ricky and Karl. That sounds wrong because they don’t fight, Karl is Rickys best mate. I’ve watched and listened to I think everything available on TH-cam of all three of them. If you haven’t already done it, search Karl Pilkington’s diary entries. Hours of laughs. They have compiled all of them where Steve reads it out. I know there was a segment on The Ricky Gervais Show but these are purely all his diary entries. Funny shit.
I find it funny how Karl says multiple times he wasn’t going to bring it up until Steve had a dig at him but you can hear he was about to anyway when Steve interrupted
I like how both Ricky and especially Steve quiet down after Karl tells his story about the woman on the tube. And she goes "Ooh" That had me in hysterics
Man Karl is vicious when he had it with someone, more respect, it shows he is not weak, he just don't want the hassle hahaha until he get fed up with it.
I was laughing my head off until at the end Steve seemed to be genuinely hurt! Poor bloke. It's not like Karl doesn't owe him a million insults by now so I can hardly blame Karl. He just seems to be veeery sensitive about this, which I'm sure is why Karl uses it. Maybe didn't expect Steve to take it so bad this time. I didn't. All of which is utterly ridiculous anyway because these are three *completely average* looking blokes and if anything, Steve is slightly better-looking than the others!!
At 2:40 Ricky says “sorry Steve, sorry this didn’t sound this bad when...” so it sounds like Ricky and Karl had talked about telling this on air. Possibly Steve was in on it as well.
I think Karl would've told Ricky for a laugh, and Ricky probably egged him on to tell it on the show. Steve was hearing it for the first time, and that's why Ricky is then apologising (whilst still laughing 😆).
3:19 the timbre of karl's "so" ... he's such a savage sometimes 😂 feels so right about what he says and knows he is actually right, too ... poor Steve (at times) 😆
That was painful, man. Poor Steve sounded genuinely reeling. Karl can be quite cruel at times. Felt very awkward at the end. Ricky trying to take the sting out of it at the end, fair play x
To be fair Karl got a lot of stick from Ricky and Steve (a lot of it self inflicted granted) and its only natural he gives a bit back. He wound Ricky up in other ways (Monkey news, Rockbusters, his other inane features specially designed to wind Ricky up)
Steve gets annoyed, rightly so since he is right that Karl pretty much always lays into him and leaves Ricky despite Rick being the one continually antagonising him.
I have friends like these guys. We bust each others balls about a lot of things but there are lines we know not to cross. It seems like Karl deliberately went after Steve in something he's sensitive about and that's a shitty thing to do. Maybe Steve crossed the line first but with Karl being utterly oblivious it's hard to know when (if anything) offends him.
Fuck him…. He is rare!! You can’t go around for years ripping Karl cause Ricky can… Steve Merchant is talented but he’s 100% rare and never be able to rip anyone tbh… he’s way to easier target to bring down lol
@@angel79nunn What?? Steve is actually handsome in his way and younger Ricky Gervais was looking like David Bowie. Karl is worst of them all he has absolutely no sex appeal about him and I think he knows it which is why he didnt take that ballon thing very well and is why you never hear him making fun of himself.
@@outlander234 I agree, Karl is in no way ‘sexy’, but he’s not strange looking. He just looks like an average bald British man. Nothing interesting about him. Steve on the other hand, while odd from some angles, does have nice bone structure and looks great with a beard. Only weird thing about. Steve really is his eyes.😊
Even though steve is weird looking He has dated 3 beautiful blondes and has rumoured to have dated Hayley Atwell, HAYLEY FUCKING ATWELL, so yeah he may not be alright looking but damn he can pull
I think the main reason anyone would do as Karl has said previously “a double take look” at Steve is because of his height. If you saw anyone that tall you would be like, “Jesus”. I know someone who is that tall and very good looking but when I first saw him I didn’t even notice his looks, it was his height that shocked me. If I was single I’d go out with Steve.
i cant just sit eer n take it n that.hahahah he goes about it really calm and the fact that hes explaining the rules and also making the point that hes enforcing them at the same time saying it as if its the most normal thing ever haha
I think the difference is that Karl genuinely means it and uses the most insulting things he can to try to hurt Steve as much as he can, which is pretty evil. Sure, Steve and Ricky make fun of him but, as Steve mentions a few times on the show, it's always done in jest and is never meant to insult. Not only does Karl try to hurt Steve's feelings but he goes right for the jugular every single time. Ever since listening to Karl insulting Steve I've never quite looked at him in the same way.
not to mention he never does it to ricky, who is the true shit stirrer, and is always screaming at karl and insulting him the most, whilst steve actually defends karl half the time and is the mediator more often than not. Steve ha always been doing it in jest like you say when he makes fun of karl, just like ricky. But all these arguments could just be exaggerated scripted banter, and steve says to karl, before hand, karl have a go at me, and make sure you sound like you mean it. because no one more than steve himself, has a go at himself. he's the king of self deprecating comedy. so how much of this is genuine and scripted, we'll never know.
I've always wondered why they never mention how ricky looks like a women who's trying to transition into into man...like what's her face Chaz or Chad whatever her name his
@wownov83 Some Steve lover must have thumbed it down. I don't like Steve and his desperation to sleep with a lady. That is even more unactractive than his looks or his arrogance. He seems like a very bitter man. And Life's Too Short was awful. Karl is great, though. Thanks.
You can hear Ricky just enjoying his heart out - the true king of shit stirring
+Yotub Melonire That's what I love about Ricky, he totally fucking instigates shit and sits back and enjoys what happens because of it.
I agree, the King of shit stirring but I love every minute of it. But it’s been Ricky that goes on about Karl’s round head and Steve’s always been quiet about it until he said the balloon lol.
Karl’s little “ooooh”
Gets me everytime
Ooooh, look at that....person... he's with. I'm about 90% sure she said something worse and Karl toned it down for radio.
Nice to hear Karl give these guys a taste of their own medicine from time to time.
:)
Karl is an arsehole.
steve really felt that one
@Daniel W “knows who keeps him in the money”
Time to time? He ripped into Steve any chance he got.
2:38 Then she goes "ooh". Hilarious.
😂😂
Look at that... Look at that person he's with.
HE'S DONE YOU AGAIN, STEVE
Ahh my God "EXCUSE ME, JOHNNY DEPP." My fucking sides hurt from laughing, Jesus
Loved that bit. Johnny Depp lol.
Steve is so great when he's pissed.
It’s so funny when he say’s that lol 😂 Steve is usually the mediator between Ricky and Karl. That sounds wrong because they don’t fight, Karl is Rickys best mate.

"-Look at that... look at that person he's with.
-Yeah that's Steve" LOL
Oh he's done you again
‘Sorry JOHNNY DEPP” is my favourite Steve moment just the minute you can tell he actually has snapped aha
Karl definitely made that up lol
Karl was just about to tell the story anyway before Merchant interrupted him when he said "sorry Johnny Depp"
When I heard "-Ohh..." I FUCKING LOST ALL THE OXYGEN COMING TO MY FACE BY LAUGHING SO HARD!!!!!! XDDDDDDDDDDD
The thing I love about this is despite the fact that Karl is the one who started insulting Steve he still acts like Steve was at fault haha
‘It’s natures little way of saying… look, nothing to see here’ 😂😂
Man Karl is vicious when he had it with someone, more respect, it shows he is not weak, he just don't want the hassle hahaha until he get fed up with it.
I don't respect him for it because he only does it to Steve. Like they say in another show, he never stood up to Ricky because he was his meal ticket
I love Ricky at the end. "I was mistaken for Johnny Vegas..."
I was laughing my head off until at the end Steve seemed to be genuinely hurt! Poor bloke. It's not like Karl doesn't owe him a million insults by now so I can hardly blame Karl. He just seems to be veeery sensitive about this, which I'm sure is why Karl uses it. Maybe didn't expect Steve to take it so bad this time. I didn't.

I think he's pretending to be offended for comic value tbh
@@1324hh the amount of people who don't recognize this really amazes me
@Mr Spitsworth hmmmmmm
@Mr Spitsworth he did all that later on, they were younger here and he clearly lost his temper because he was so offended
This seriously feels like a scene from a show Ricky would write.
Where do you think he gets all his ideas from? If you listen to these enough all the stuff they talk about pops up in his stand up and tv shows
Still stealing Karl's quotes to this very day - afterlife is absolutely full of lines from xfm and the podcasts
"And she goes..oooh"
Stevens face on that photo
At 2:40 Ricky says “sorry Steve, sorry this didn’t sound this bad when...” so it sounds like Ricky and Karl had talked about telling this on air. Possibly Steve was in on it as well.
Perhaps Karl told the story off-air but watered it down so Steve’s feelings weren’t hurt
I think Karl would've told Ricky for a laugh, and Ricky probably egged him on to tell it on the show. Steve was hearing it for the first time, and that's why Ricky is then apologising (whilst still laughing 😆).
@@CDbiggen Yep
I've never laughed so hard in my life
Snapchat tho 😂?
@@fastsales1328 Your 6 years late simp

@@HeelCorner , lmao, sad isn't it.
@@fastsales1328 jesus man, down bad
Good for Karl standing up for himself. They give him too much shit.
Love the ending. "Well i was mistaken for Johnny Vegas so..." My sides.
It is weird hearing Steven merchant talk about crack when I've only known him as Wheatley for like 8 years
that's fairly harsh. I don't think Steve even looks weird he's just unusually tall
@Project Earth show your face then
Nah he genuinely looks a bit fucked up
If you have eyes then look at the image used for this video, he has big googly eyes, and a strange mouth.
Probably one of the weirdest looking blokes I’ve ever seen
Eyes bulging with imagined riches
Love smerch but this line sums him up perfectly 😂
'alright johnny depp' haha exactly
eyes bulging with imagined retorts
Steve described Karl pretty accurately as Drifloon from Pokémon
To be fair, Steve’s analogy is perfect for the thumbnail picture of karl
Karls "ooooh, look at that....person... he's with is quite fitting for Steve's picture too"
3:19 the timbre of karl's "so" ... he's such a savage sometimes 😂 feels so right about what he says and knows he is actually right, too ... poor Steve (at times) 😆
At 0:34, "Karl, thoughts?" And here we go...
That was painful, man. Poor Steve sounded genuinely reeling. Karl can be quite cruel at times. Felt very awkward at the end. Ricky trying to take the sting out of it at the end, fair play x

StarDust he has jealous ones
it's just a bit of banter.
I mean... we’re all mates
If you can't take it then don't give it, you soft fruit cake. Anyone who doesn't get this has never had mates.
Karl and Steve must have been crouching down in that pic. Steve is 6'7, Karl is 6'1 and Ricky is 5'6.
Mark Sean Tynan or sitting
As much as I adore Ricky and Steve, they constantly make fun of Karl and he takes it like a man but when karl bites back they get annoyed
Steve gets annoyed, rightly so since he is right that Karl pretty much always lays into him and leaves Ricky despite Rick being the one continually antagonising him.
Haha. This is golden. Ricky laughing just makes it so much better
"I mean... all mates"
And she goes "Ughhh..."
2:38 lol Ricky's laughing/gibberish makes me laugh out loud everytime

Hilarious but let's get something straight, out of the 3 Steve is clearly the best looking but they are all odd looking to be fair.
Yeah they're all uniquely odd looking
I disagree, Karl looks the best. I've seen other pics of Steve and....well....

“So it wasn’t as much of a blow to me”
Ricky's laugh at 1:55...
Even though steve is weird looking
He has dated 3 beautiful blondes and has rumoured to have dated Hayley Atwell, HAYLEY FUCKING ATWELL, so yeah he may not be alright looking but damn he can pull
He’s dating Mircea Monroe at the moment.
He's got quite a nice load of cash and status, and to be fair he is in top % height, if he were 175 cm it would be a much crueler life for ol steve
LOL Karl is horrible to Steve!
Rowan Cranston Earth. Sound like you're on a different one.
I might be in the very rare minority here but, Stephen playing that serial killer looked kind of cute 🤐
That's how he gets ya

Steve is laughing now, his girlfriend is a beaut
this would be good in cartoon form
Steve sounds so broken haha
Karl looks like a normal guy, Steve looks like a Mad Max bad guy
Inflated it about halfway 🤣🤣🤣
oooh, he's done you there mate
Snog - Ricky
Marry - Karl
Avoid - Stephen
Which podcast series is this from?
It's from the xfm shows
Sorry Johnny Depp HAHA
The fact that Karl almost certainly underplayed it here kills me. 😂
His eyes are bad so you know “nothing to see here”
Its tinging its way up the tube
Karl is savage! xD
Ricky's laughing/gibberish makes me want to send my size 11 through his front teeth every time
my fuck best one on youtube! 1:47 is the best joke ever
Steve was finishised with that one
Guys come on, if you know Steve then you should understand that he's not going to get offended by Karl insulting his looks.
steve looks like russel howard in this photo
Still here in 2024
1:29 😂
COME AT ME BRO
All mates.
Steve?
Its tinging its way up the tube
If it's a potato or a nut, it's a foodage.
i cant just sit eer n take it n that.hahahah he goes about it really calm and the fact that hes explaining the rules and also making the point that hes enforcing them at the same time saying it as if its the most normal thing ever haha
He's fixed it up, here's Steve raw...
/watch?v=3e9L7nidYSA
You have been warned...
ʕ´•ᴥ•
Lol they shit on Karl all the time, and then he takes a stab once and they get all offended.
In fairness, Karl only does this to Steve and does it a lot. And it's more vicious and serious than when either of them make fun of him
"I could go for some wood."

It's a bit of a triangle, cause Steve has no problems ripping it out of Ricky to balance things out.
Nothing to see here 😄
00:38
I've always wondered why they never mention how ricky looks like a women who's trying to transition into into man...like what's her face Chaz or Chad whatever her name his
Cos he was their career daddy
this was around 2003 or so, not that transgenderism wasn't a thing or even talked about. but not as relevant as it is nowdays.
And she goes .... Ohh
Destroyed a man
Shit...maybe that is why my eyes are bad...
I think steves better looking than karl
im not saying im against karl and i realise steve is tall but i cant see how hes odd :S
God so many people are snowflakes yes Steve was hurt at the end but it was good Coz Steve gives it to Karl all the time so it's time he takes it lol
karls a legend
thats not funny, that's an insult. why is ricky laughing?
Because he loves it. xD He likes to stir up the tension because he finds it amusing.
0.5
Hilarious
Steve would be on my top 5 freaks, what an odd looking person he is
So mean
haha
@wownov83 3 people who get approached by prostitutes because they can't get any other lol
It took me way too ling to realize that Karl is playing a role.
@wownov83 Some Steve lover must have thumbed it down. I don't like Steve and his desperation to sleep with a lady. That is even more unactractive than his looks or his arrogance. He seems like a very bitter man. And Life's Too Short was awful. Karl is great, though. Thanks.
