Thank god it never got filmed, otherwise it would be sinkhole of gold comedy without the ability to stop watching it. And i am by no means jokeing when i say that.
Agree to disagree. That would remove the mystery. Makes it a much more passive experience. Using your imagination is half of the brilliance. That or the animation is preferable to just showing you
MC they mentioned the webcam on some of the old shows. “The webcam isn’t pointing at the air conditioning unit, is that because it’s more interesting than the show” Imagine if that footage suddenly emerged! 😮

Tip I learnt as a child: if you have no heating and you need to get dressed for school; pull your clothes under the covers and do as much as you can there, in the mean time the clothes will warm up too.
Sometimes I used to put my uniform on at night and sleep in it so they were already nice and warm in the morning and I didn't have to get dressed haha.
God, how I wish they did this sort of thing for the XFM Gervais shows. I know they mentioned the webcam a lot on that show, but that seems to have vanished, and anyway the quality probably wouldn't have been as good.
I love how Ricky jokingly mentioning the chicken and egg conundrum has sparked intense debate involving bluddy quantum physics - could only occur in a youtube comments section
i still do it, it is so annoying, you go through all the rigmarol of getting ready in the morning just to wake up and find you haven't made a start at all!!!
Im even worse, quite literally it was his role as wheatley that put me onto ricky, him and karl pilkington. I feel bad for having missed such comic wonder for so long, but who cares how I got there I am there now and im loving it.

Evolution is driven by competition in an environment. Adaptability is the ability to survive a changing environment. These are two different opposing forces that pull a species between being specialised and general as it evolves. Survival of the fittest can be applied to both. Whether it is the fitness in a certain attribute: like display plumage in birds, or adaptability: like a rats omnivorous diet. The key to surviving as a species is usually in finding a balance between these two aspects.
We had thick plates of ice on the inside of our windows in the winter and so I used to go to bed with my school uniform on ready for the morning. I didn't think about splitting atoms but I was smart in other ways.
Now, I'm not saying it is bad, but, it sort of annoys me when people search stephen merchant on youtube and find every single video with him in it and comment saying "Wheatley!". People knew him before portal 2 people.
Ricky is intelligent, and there is no bigger fan than me i absolutely love the guy..but the only issue ive ever had with him is he is too sure of his intelligence..i think he believes he is alot smarter than what he actually is
I recall a video put of of Tim Minchin in which he lets a colleague know he is attracted to his wife, and in that clip he also states that his wife has an ideal out there similarly. I honestly believe we're all like that in a sense, and it's nothing to be ashamed of. Joke or not, I completely understand your feelings on this. :)
the fittest do still survive, but the definition of fit has changed. People like Ricky are now more fit.. Evolution in the comedy world is survival of the funniest.
Ricky looks better without beard his face is more expressive and that's what made him his explanation of life's actions with expression it's just perfection the way he does it but with beard his his facial expression is 70% missing
Didn't Ricky and Steve once get fired for taking the mick out of Simon Mayo, if so that might explain why this comes across a bit more awkwardly than a normal interview?
Just love Stephen’s gentle mischievous demeanor
god i would pay good money for the xfm shows filmed in this way.
I know!!!!!
got a time machine?

i love how when ricky is making up that story about stephen screaming in the elevator, he just casually says under his breath "i got a punctured lung"
They need to do more XFM shows and podcasting. Best radio ever.
isn't it funny that Ricky and Stephen basically control this interview
Hilarious seeing them on Simon Mayo's show after the mountainous amount of shit-talking they did about Mayo in their XFM show.
Yeah, in some Amsterdam torture garden. With 10 hairy blokes with beards, jizzing on him.
They're only there to plagiarise from the brainbox that is Mayo.
“You’re just like your little magpie aren’t you? Thieving shiny ideas from Mayo’s nest.”
Simon Mayo's "What is Karl thinking?"
"I'd have been HUGELY popular amongst that lot." - highlight of the entire video. Ricky almost dies.
Merchants self-deprecation is legendary 😅
He really does look like a nazi. I mean why do you think he was cast in jojo rabbit?
'blind ones." just.. comedy gold. they should be back on radio.
Who knew my favorite radio interview already happened, way back in 2008?? Sweet.
Have you listened to the XFM shows? They're like this but better.. "Man Moth" channel has them all

@@WhitneyHaverstockif you've not listened to them yet here's your reminder.
Ricky's answer about string theory had me laughing so much it hurt.
Two fohakles and a strumpet.
I’ve watched less than 2 and a half minutes and already my brain is filling in what Karl would say.

Well done to the geezer who emailed the question about the falling lift.
God, how I wish they did this sort of thing for the XFM Gervais shows. I know they mentioned the webcam a lot on that show, but that seems to have vanished, and anyway the quality probably wouldn't have been as good.
It only updated every 30 seconds as well.
i love the girl in the control room who keeps creasing
I'd certainly like their relationship to evolve into one where Ricky can shut up for a moment and let Stephen talk.
Ten years and only 5 likes (other than my sixth like)... Criminal.
Steve doesn't feel the need to talk as much, hence why he doesn't. He's his best when he interjects withlittle quips that make ricky lose it.
Never played portal 2 and i love stephen merchant's work,,,How you can not have heard of him before then seems crazy to me.
Merchant is just so much funnier. Can't even describe why it's just the way he says everything and like speaks aha
Stephen is much better at satirical comedy, he is also much wittier than Ricky, I agree with you; Stephen is much funnier than Ricky.
It's obviously his content and jokes too, but his voice/accent/tonality is also very sharp/funny/witty.
No way.
Karl
Ricky
Steven for me. Feel like he doesn’t enjoy it as much as Ricky at times
Comedy timing is the phrase you're looking for ;)
Oswald Mosley yeah it’s clear from all the shows he made without merchant that merchant tempered RG’s excesses.
The quimbles 😂
ricky gervais looks like an old lesbian :)
Play A record!
I hate to say it but , but fuck!!!! your right
He's done you again!!!
Hope Ⓥ Justice when did he say that?
One of the old XFM episodes where he phoned in. (: Can't remember which.
Ricky going on like he was born in Tudor times😂
His answer to the x factor question is class!
I would just love to see the expression on his face as he hears these questions, and Gervais' responses.
"Like a little cat"
"I can solve all their problems!"
Ricky is awesome
They need Karls knowledge on these subjects.
Hywel Lougher exactly
Didn't Karl major in Quimbleosity?
Well he went to the GCSE test for it. Didn't sign up beforehand sadly. Never got his results.
Ich bein ist gruber das Ricky unt Stephen uber ist vunderbar.
Hahahaha, I love the whole elevator story where Ricky supposedly got "a punctured lung".
stephen is so adorable
If it wasn't for Portal 2. Lots of people wouldn't of even heard of him.
What a genius Ricky!
I love how Ricky jokingly mentioning the chicken and egg conundrum has sparked intense debate involving bluddy quantum physics - could only occur in a youtube comments section
Simon, just back from McDonalds.
Good value.
i still do it, it is so annoying, you go through all the rigmarol of getting ready in the morning just to wake up and find you haven't made a start at all!!!
The both bounce of each other (no pun) so well
They put two orange and blue gel microphones right there
I came to that conclusion about the egg when I was 9.
6:38-6:46! LOVE IT! These guys are the best!!
Im even worse, quite literally it was his role as wheatley that put me onto ricky, him and karl pilkington.
I feel bad for having missed such comic wonder for so long, but who cares how I got there I am there now and im loving it.

Let's be honest, we all got a ruler out 😂
He should've put the ol' Merchant charm to use
always nice, now and then, come see this vid.
i love his face after he sys quimbles!
Man, 12 years ago
Love rickys laugh
2 faharkels and a strumpet, fucking genius.
wow ricky gervais im pressed me he knows a decent amount about physics

Wave particle duality is not a problem to be solved, in fact it's not a problem at all.
lol @ quimbel. The min d of the man who created Flanimals. Genius! I love these 2 guys.
We had thick plates of ice on the inside of our windows in the winter and so I used to go to bed with my school uniform on ready for the morning.
I didn't think about splitting atoms but I was smart in other ways.
stephen merchant is why i bought the game rather than borrowed it
"Qwuimbles.." *DIES* XD!!
Haha! Must've been hitting that testerone again! (;
it wasnt a joke it was a story from his childhood
"Blind ones!" A little recall to Bottom, there.
Knowledge sharing... brillliant.
anyone know how to get the full version?
Well done Simon for the CBE!
yes! finally someone who agrees exactly with my opinions on the chicken egg situation! and i've been laughed at for my views, cheers to gervais!
The birth of an entire species with the production of one egg? Ricky, your talkin' shit.
Well steve seems to be right about the nine inches thing. didn't know that. Did know that your earlobes line up with them though.
"its all about the quimbles" XD hahaa
Such a shame that Ricky's memory has gone. Nowadays he somehow doesn't remember that Stephen has played an integral part in his career.
Gervais , Merchant and mayo = excellent
hahahaha Wheatley, what an awsome accent.
Does any think that it's weird that both Ricky and Stephen look much better with beards?
I wish they'd do their XFM show again
A Bromwell High reference. The failed animation? Stephan was a voice actor in that and he didn't pick that up lol
2 bar heater.....lucky......back in my day.......
haha ricky is so quick. intelligent man
Has Gervais had a hair transplant since this was filmed?
No
Yes he did.
@thatsWhAtSHeSaidERIC Blue and Orange microphones? Hmm sounds familiar....
it might have something to do with the fact that he played david brent in the office!
two veghakles and a strumpit
And a strumpet.
i dont understand the egg thing can u plz explain, thanx.
Now, I'm not saying it is bad, but, it sort of annoys me when people search stephen merchant on youtube and find every single video with him in it and comment saying "Wheatley!". People knew him before portal 2 people.
Way to go England. You once conquered half the world but you never figured out central heating.
4:07 "Quimbles"!
Perhaps you can share what you know about Ireland?
is there any more of this?
Well T can be a time, or period, or kinetic energy. So Q could be Quimbles too.
Ricky is intelligent, and there is no bigger fan than me i absolutely love the guy..but the only issue ive ever had with him is he is too sure of his intelligence..i think he believes he is alot smarter than what he actually is
Agreed (12 years later)
in all honesty i think ricky's just showing off =P
its incredibly interesting to listen to
this for me proves how intelligent ricky actually is =)
Worried about splitting an atom at five, funniest joke he told in this clip
A C-3PO where he suddenly grabs a lightsaber and cuts off Luke's head.
I recall a video put of of Tim Minchin in which he lets a colleague know he is attracted to his wife, and in that clip he also states that his wife has an ideal out there similarly. I honestly believe we're all like that in a sense, and it's nothing to be ashamed of. Joke or not, I completely understand your feelings on this. :)

He is quite intelligent, most of what he's saying is good.
Also, the two things you stated do not contradict each other.
Ricky looks better without beard his face is more expressive and that's what made him his explanation of life's actions with expression it's just perfection the way he does it but with beard his his facial expression is 70% missing
5:53 I reckon Karl sent this question in under a pseudonym 😜
i can't find the full video.
"it's the quimbles and the quadrons"
Admit it, you grabbed a tape measure
Didn't Ricky and Steve once get fired for taking the mick out of Simon Mayo, if so that might explain why this comes across a bit more awkwardly than a normal interview?
I'm just guessing but 1916 and the easter rising was the first thing you found on Wikipedia....I'm right aren't I????
It's because everyone constantly goes on about it, as if that was the only notable thing he's ever done. He WAS perfect as Wheatley, but still.
@Emerald1234S EXACTLY, EXACTLY.
In the lifespan of a hen it obviously is an egg first.
Mayo blowing off a rent boy
Thanks, Rick.
