The incredible thing about this is that the original email that was sent in probably said something along the lines of "the phrase 'monkey business' comes from monkeys trading bananas for nuts and berries", and Karl would have filled in the blanks and built this entire story about "monkeys from the rough part of the island stealing bananas at night". Amazing.
That’s the drawing of Karl that Ricky drew as giveaways in the podcast era. Like that painting of a crying boy that caused houses to burn down in the 1980s.
What Karl is saying is fucking hilarious . But what makes it EVEN funnier, is Ricky's laugh and how hysterical he finds it. So funny. Could listen to these guys all day
+Doogie Spence The icing on the cake for me was Karl going "forget it", and then Steve yelling at him to not turn the record on XD I would have fucking died if Karl never turned the record back on and then the song ended and there was just silence... And then Steve said "So anyway, this happened."
I’ve been listening to this at work and I’ve nearly pissed my pants laughing at some of the stuff. Especially in front of customers when I’m trying to hold the laugh in, it makes the humour 100x more intense.
Twenty plus years of this bollocks! Love it! I only happened to come across these shows via Karl's book being sold in the bargain bin at Powell's Books in Portland. I devoured that book then went mental tracking down the the iTunes shows and any Mp3s for the XFM shows!
This is brilliant 3:02-3:06 is brilliant where you can still hear Ricky having a little giggle still in the background. His laugh may be the best laugh ever :)
Probably one of my favorite XFM shows. The Rockbusters bit earlier on this particular episode is my favorite of all time (Deli meat tree, Christ, de 'berg!)
Ricky was actually Suede's manager at one point before they were famous. He also said that he managed a Queen tribute act who wanted to call themselves 'Right Fred's Dead'.
"Down in the Amazon..." Kay ""No predators" Monkeys in the Amazon _definitely_ have predators "From the other side of the island..." ISLAND!? I THOUGHT WE WERE IN THE AMAZON, WHAT THE FUCK!?

Never thought about it like that 😂
Nah, if it was a viewer emailing in, they were doing it as a wind up
@@rowanmelton7643 Nonsense. Monkey Business contributes 10% of GDP
@@rowanmelton7643viewer?🤔 You mean listener
@@jean-vincent2003 apparently they had a webcam on the original broadcast.
For the record: it took Karl 23 seconds to weigh the story up.
he probably just re-read it
brilliant
You've either got it or you ain't.

I love how everything’s always going alright at the start of every Pilkington story
"It's going well"
.."suddenly"
"turns out.."
1:27 I heard this just as I read your comment and it made me feel weird for a second lol
"So you know, things are going alright, monkeys happy an' that"
"From the rough bit".. classic Pilkington embellishment.
There's these cruise liners, right, that are so big, there's rough areas on them.
@@adambritain5774 It's a bit rough on Aft!

You are spot on mate, Ricky's laugh makes it all the more funnier !!!

Many of us *do* listen to these guys all day.
Ricky's laugh is one of my antidepressants.
I fucking do
"They're 'appy 'n that" even that is brilliant.
"THIS IS SUCH SHIT!" To this day, it still makes me laugh.
Icelord2008 I would utter that phrase to myself whenever Sarah Palin would speak in an interview
Kevin Muller I hate political humor.
Crunch Buttsteak Sarah Palin isn’t a politician.
It's even funnier when you realise Ricky said this on a commercial radio show, not a podcast
@Sofa King if Karl can
The ramblings of a madman.
Turbojuugend of a genius*
Turbojuugend "You're a MANIAC!"
Ricky's laugh always makes it funnier haha
This aired almost 14 year ago and is still so funny, great podcast
This was from 2002 or 2003
17 years
Radio Xfm live Saturday show, around 2002
Doesn't matter how much time has passed this will always be funny.
20 years ago now....
The most underrated bit I think is when Karl says he needs to weigh up the story.
10 seconds later: OK, I think I've weighed it up.
I Ss *23 seconds
Yes! One of my favorite parts!
My parents listen online I cant look them in the eye
huh@@mctommodarlo3911
the best part is how he first says its in the amazon then says its "the rough part of the island"
Let's do some business
nice profile picture
Kieran Dooley I agree.
fsyeah :)
with the bananas…
With Bananas?
I'm so used to hearing Steve and Ricky tell Karl to play a record.
It's weird to hear them tell him to turn the record off.
"It turns out it was some other monkeys on the island, from the rough bit." I died XDDDD
Tommy Davies very funny lol
I heard about this cruise ship that was so big it had rough areas
Don't. Talk. Shite. Twice
I'd have loved to have been in that room at 2:25 - it sounds like Ricky spat his lungs out and fell out of his chair.
from the rough bit OMFG THIS IS THE FUNNIEST SHIT
I'm dying I just came across this
"T...THIS IS SUCH SHIT! THIS IS----..AHHHH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHH HAHAHHAHAHA OH CHRIST HAHAHAH OH CHRIST HAHAHAHHOHOHOHOHOH"
+MisterMaskedGamer so you don't like it then haha
" that's where the phrase monkey business comes from " 😆 🤣 😂 Karl's the greatest
The way Steve repeats back to Karl ‘Let’s do some business with the bananas’ after a pause is so funny
I’ve been listening to this at work and I’ve nearly pissed my pants laughing at some of the stuff. Especially in front of customers when I’m trying to hold the laugh in, it makes the humour 100x more intense.
Steve adamantly trying to get Karl to keep going with the story would have taken IMMENSE control to not crack
I laughed just reading the title of this vid
I laughed so hard when Steve said "TURN THE RECORD OFF KARL!"
Karl can leave one of the greatest comedians of our generation, in hysterics at whim. Says a lot about Karls comedic ability.
Karl isn't trying to be funny. He's deadly serious
@@hohohohehehe6910 obviously he’s trying to be funny.
@@Stevejonseys69 no, he really isn’t.
Yeah and he can do the same to Ricky Gervais
@@patrickg5648 Ricky is one of the greatest comedians of our gen if you’re trying to imply he isn’t
2:46 "Do not press that"
Portal 2 anyone?
I hear Wheatley whenever Steve sincerely raises his voice.
ricky's laugh is friggin' contagious
from the "rough bit" lol
Literally not a day goes by that I don't listen to these 3.
Weather I'm in work or in bed.
Robbie Maguire it definitely changes your mood for the better. Its a necessity for sure. Everyone should make these three a part of their day.
Absolutely same dude 😂😂😂
whether
Donal MacIntyre
@@danieldravot341 autism
Rather them coming robbing 'em, we'l flog 'em 😂😂
Omg that laugh. I'm about to piss my self
Karl "weighing it up" in the background is gutbustingly funny
"little business that they set up"
Ricky sounds like he's falling from a building after Karl states potato and nuts are foodage
Isn't this the plot of Donkey Kong
This actually is the plot of Monkey Ball 2 now that I think about it.
ExplodingTittySyndrome King K. Rool: "let's do some business with the bananas"
That’s what I was thinking, Karl got a summery of donkey Kong country and made up the whole story lmfao
It's amazing how this NEVER gets any less funny no matter how many times you hear it
Has it gotten old yet?
Twenty plus years of this bollocks! Love it! I only happened to come across these shows via Karl's book being sold in the bargain bin at Powell's Books in Portland. I devoured that book then went mental tracking down the the iTunes shows and any Mp3s for the XFM shows!
2:43 it sounded like Karl tried to end the conversation by pressing the outro 🤣
"wait a minute, this isn't the great amazon banana robbery..." CLASSIC :X
absolutely a classic xxoo
I love how often Karl says "alright"
Lmao! Ricky sounds like a tortured cat when he laughs XD
How do you know what a tortured cat sounds like?
Thisismytrollingface I know because someone told me it sounds like Ricky Gervais laughing
“Replemishing” - K. Dilkington
This is brilliant 3:02-3:06 is brilliant where you can still hear Ricky having a little giggle still in the background. His laugh may be the best laugh ever :)
Karls little additions and the way he puts his own twist on stories make it that more fantastical
they go to bed... load of bananas gone
I've been watching these for hours I swear it's the funniest every time.
Probably one of my favorite XFM shows. The Rockbusters bit earlier on this particular episode is my favorite of all time (Deli meat tree, Christ, de 'berg!)
It’s the embellishments he adds which just makes it, “the rough bit”
Its 4:45 am and I'm laughing my head off what am I even doing here 😂 this is gold
Here at 05:01
Ricky was actually Suede's manager at one point before they were famous. He also said that he managed a Queen tribute act who wanted to call themselves 'Right Fred's Dead'.
Was that a suede song at the end?
Ricky could laugh at anything and it would still make laugh
You can almost see Ricky writhing in hysterical pain when he sees where the story's going...
"No don't forget it! Switch it off, Switch the record off, Karl!" best moment
For anyone wondering, the record they switched off was 'Suede - Animal Nitrate'. Fucking awesome tune. Worth a listen.
"Yep, yepyepyep nnnh nnnnnuh" I love Karls random sounds when he's trying to change the subject,
i love that little gasp ricky does when he is laughing but cant get enough air in : )
The sound of Ricky's laugh beats any antidepressant any day!!! Just prescribe cd's of that.
I love the reference to Rockbusters being cancelled as well. I'm sure Ricky threatened to end Rockbusters pretty much every other episode.
1:52 - 2:10 had me in hysterics, it actually took me a while to calm down to a point that I could type this. (':
2:30
There were no humans around to note what the monkeys did I love Karl, he’s willing to give any theory a go.
for anyone wondering the record they started playing is animal nitrate by suede.
My fav ricky laugh so far
Forget it....forget it!
"The ones with the earrings and the leather jacket."
I love these guys...
Ricky's laugh makes everything Karl says better
2:40 "OH! OH GOD!"
I’d just turned one when this came out apparently
I like how Karl says the monkeys were in the Amazon and then says they were on an island
Utterly hilarious, rickys laugh is amazing to say the least!
Love the thumbnail
love when ricky nearly bursts
Over the course of the series I wonder how many times Ricky had said "that's the end of rockbusters"
karl can cure anyones depression
AH, FORGET IT....
love to hear when rick laugh thank u
Same lmao
That rockbusters is my favourite clip the lads have ever done
Despite all his research on monkeys, Karl still seems to think that they only eat bananas.
"Down in the Amazon..."
Kay
""No predators"
Monkeys in the Amazon _definitely_ have predators
"From the other side of the island..."
ISLAND!? I THOUGHT WE WERE IN THE AMAZON, WHAT THE FUCK!?
I'm pretty sure that Ricky Gervais will die of laughter some day.
Aright?
That's a bit weird, innit?
Do we need 'em?
Right, can't be doin' with that.
"Its cryptic"
"Crap-tic"
An' an' tha
Love the picture "It's not Terry's, it's mine n that" Genius.
"Monkeys in the Amazon"... later on "From the other part of the island"
The Americas is the second largest island
Omg i love ricky's laugh!!
Old but gold
You're right. THE Greatest.
"rough bit"
i can close my eyes and see the cartoon
Ricky sounds like that owl Archimedes.
Why do all Ricky Gervais/Karl Pilkington videos ALWAYS have an argument in the comment section?
because people in society are way too cynical to believe karl is a real person, even the notion of him being fake baffles me :S
No they don't. They only SOMETIMES have an argument in the comment section. You need to get your facts straight (fight, fight, fight 😃)!
At 2:35 I think Ricky laughs so hard he falls out of his chair again.
PLAY A RECORD! P-P-P-PLAY A RECORD!
This normally happens after the best bits of these three. Especially when Rick angrily says it.
The confidence in which he says that; “you familiar in the phrase, Monkey Business?”
Lets do some business with the bananas
It genuinely amazes me that he is completely functional person.
Karl IS JOKING
@@blobcity3591lol, I suppose he’s joking about having a perfectly round head as well?
@@blobcity3591I think in early monkey news, Karl is not joking
I love it when Steve makes a reference to someones dad and nobody picked up on it. I love it when stuff like that happens.
2.27 "lets do some business with the bananas"
And with that Gervais is fucking goooone! Hilarious!
Anyone heard Rickys reaction to 'manhole cover on a nuclear bomb'?
Series 2 Episode 1 ... Man moth channel..
“Let’s but a banger on a bomb see if it louder” hahahaha
