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 RUclips 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.
John Snashall Steve brings nothing to the table, except and lanky goggle eyed freak. Just listen to this episode and tell me what he provided besides being there with a sore throat so Karl can take the piss. Karl even says at one point how he contributes nothing. x
Not this episode particularly but it can't just be Ricky winding up Karl. Steve allows Karl to put his point across (albeit then ridicules it!). Also there is the Steve / Karl insults which is a show staple.
I wholeheartedly recommend listening to the entire catalog of Patrice O’Neal appearances on the Opie & Anthony radio show from 2002-2011 140ish episodes of the best raw and funny radio you’ll ever hear. Not for the faint of heart or the “p.c. crowd”
S2 E30 is a standout for me. Has about 5/6 legendary moments in it, plenty of amazing Ricky laughs and my favourite Songs of Phrase. Also the Guinness book of records one (as said above) is insanely funny, Karl speaking with his mouth full kills me every time
Steve is jokes, love the guy he’s essential to this show. Imagine it with just Pilks and Gervais it wouldn’t be nowhere near as good. Steve is adhesive this show needed to be brilliant.
It wouldnt work without Merchant. Look at the Learn English with Ricky Gervais pilot for proof. Just having Ricky solo drives Karl to the brink of insanity within an hour of filming time
steve is the goat my fav of the trio a real professional radio personality very witty great timing and smart punchlines constantly this show wouldnt work without any of them but steve unknowingly plays the most important role in the 3
"Grandad, are you eating a Twix?" is one of my favourite moments of these shows. Along with Garlic bread, Faulty Tooth, Square tins, and split tennis ball.
I like Karl's specific instruction to Suzanne when she's ill to go and stand in the frozen chicken section. Rather than just the frozen section he narrows it down to the frozen chicken section.
+HeatyFrog I downloaded all the original clips from the xfm site before youtube and had them on an ipod on repeat. Ffwd 10 years and I'm still listening! I never told anyone for years because I thought it was too weird, but now on youtube its clear I am not alone!!
RecklessIntent me too, I have listened to them for the last 13 years and it’s so amazing to see how many other people still have this and the podcasts as their regular routine 💗
@@mariamdream Been listening for 14 years now and it blows me away that I still know virtually every word to every episode and I’m still not tired of it. I remember I was 13 when I first found the show and I literally could not do homework anymore.
Ricky even comments about this when he said he listened to one back, how he was just eating, making noises because Steve knows what they mean and barely speaking English lol
There's so many classic moments packed into this episode. Dr Frog. The Comic Characters. "I thought we all agreed that RockBusters was a load of old toss"
Anybody else think that Karl misunderstood the "Steve going home because he was ill" situation? Steve was at his mom and dad's house, fell ill whilst he was there and stayed there for a few more days until he was better. I think Karl seems to think that Steve fell ill and then immediately jumped into a cab in his dressing gown and a thermometre in his mouth and then went to Bristol.
I know someone like this. Big headed, know it all, loud, claims he's just "being honest" as an excuse for being an asshole to everyone. He's also from Manchester. I mean are they all like this up north or what?
I totally sympathize with Steve, I had a sore throat like that a couple years ago and it was absolute agony. I think mine was different though, it was right at the top of the throat. Feeling the most excruciating pain every time you reflexively swallow saliva is torture. It's like there's a knife that stabs the back of your throat every time your throat muscles contract.
A Karl First: Selling the Marketing Director on Ricky’s sarcastic radio spots by pretending to laugh /making him question whether he just didn’t get it is the first time I’ve seen him do something very shrewd in the professional arena. Love it. Also, I agree with others: this is one of the best episodes despite not having anything particularly famous moments in it.
"Me clothes weren't always the best and they were a bit worn but they were always clean" Can't believe Ricky and Steve didn't cop Karl referencing one of his favourite tunes, Living in the City by Stevie Wonder
So, which are everybody's favourite episodes? This has got to be up there for me, when Ricky is cracking jokes and then Karl goes "riiiiight" like a pissed off mum before the record starts 😂
10 months later and I’ve come back around, and here in the U.K. we’re still at the same point pretty much pandemic-wise. Let’s hope that by the next time I come around everything will have improved.
11 months on again and things have actually improved here in Wales, UK! Covid is still ongoing but restrictions are lifted, at least. See you all in another 10/11 months!

That's brilliant mate, but will season 2 episode 2 be there? Csn you upload it here too? Not sure why its missing...
Thank you sir.
Oi man moth ya bawbag
Come on Karl we know it’s you mate.
😂
Steve's genuine disdain for rockbusters, especially when he calls it a "piece of old toss", is hilarious to me
ye i love that 1. i think it came out better with his weak ill voice XD
It was appalling.
It's *tosh it's a British expression for rubbish, short for Rockbusters
@@UltraGinormousSounds like he says "toss" 15:48
It's deffo tosh dawg
Steve quite often gets a bashing in the comments section. These shows would be nowhere near as good without him

I agree John! I love Steve. All 3 of them bring equally great parts to the show.
Steve has by far the sharpest and fastest wit of all 3 of them. This whole show would be pointless without him.
It has to be all three for maximum hilarity.
Ricky’s pause right before he says “Holy Fuk” for the first time always kills me, because he knows how Karl is gonna react
That’s his name, Karl!
12:40 for those wanting to catch the first one
No he paused because he was acting out the amount of time it would take him to answer the door and react to a genuine guest being at the door.
It's Ho Lee Fook
Him stammering and blanking with no material when trying to play Camp David/Gayvid Gray is just as good.
“I saw a Chinaman sneeze I was terrified” here we are about 20 years later

It gets better that way, trust me.
I'm on roughly my 20th time round. They don't get old.
How are you getting on?

For some reason I love it whenever Steve says "I can't believe my luck".. Dunno why
I also love when he goes "again, thanks for asking"
I know! I also like "you've embarrassed yourself there."
I'm not made of money!
"Well, if you've ever (insert something ridiculous) give us a call..."
bongbrain07 Arbitrary! classic Steve!
This is by far the funniest episode of the XFM shows, it has every ingredient that made these shows great
"That Sony's ours, that Sony's ours!"
My favorite is the one with them shoving burgers into Karl's mouth to break a world record.
i dunno, series 2 episode 50 is quite good
S2 E30 is a standout for me. Has about 5/6 legendary moments in it, plenty of amazing Ricky laughs and my favourite Songs of Phrase.
Also the Guinness book of records one (as said above) is insanely funny, Karl speaking with his mouth full kills me every time
I like episode 9 when Ricky is drunk
Ribbit ribbit froggy says buy it
I feel somewhat ashamed that I can't listen to this without cracking a smile..!!! XD
Steve is jokes, love the guy he’s essential to this show. Imagine it with just Pilks and Gervais it wouldn’t be nowhere near as good. Steve is adhesive this show needed to be brilliant.
Don't need to imagine there is bits with just Ricky and Karl. "Karl learns English" comes to mind and it's still hilarious with just the two of them
It wouldnt work without Merchant. Look at the Learn English with Ricky Gervais pilot for proof. Just having Ricky solo drives Karl to the brink of insanity within an hour of filming time
@@jeffreymarksworld534 that shit is hilarious

Mechant!!
Ricky - "Is this show offensive to anyone in any way at all?"
Steve - "Ding dong!"
One of the funniest interactions
Perfect one liner given the conversation 😂😂
52:14
When Ricky bursts back in saying “right I’m listening out there….” It makes me burst out laughing every time man.
Steve's shocked and troubled reaction racks me up at 15:11 when Karl mentions Rockbusters.
I personally enjoyed "Hang on... I thought we all agreed that Rockbusters was a piece of old toss", followed by Ricky's manic laughter.
yeah that too. gotta love the Smerch
Also 14:51 when Steve goes "Was that Ho Li Fuk again?" haha
Rockbusters is terrible
Ha yeah.
"You can call me Ho-li if you want"
"No I'd prefer to call you Fook"
Ricky's finest moment lol
I love how much they rip Chris moyles
+yeowart well he is fat and talentless tbf
+yeowart "Chris Moyles, one of the greats, one of the greats"
+33hegemon 😂😂
It was quite awkward when merchant was on the Chris moyles show a year or so ago and it turned out moyles listened to this show!
He's a funny funny man..
"Grandad, are you eating a Twix?" is one of my favourite moments of these shows. Along with Garlic bread, Faulty Tooth, Square tins, and split tennis ball.
57:03 If you listen really carefully you can hear Ricky Gervais saying "right!" Haha its so faint, he must have been a ways down the hall
+Eric Buist haha, well spotted!
How the hell did u pick that up😂😂
I like Karl's specific instruction to Suzanne when she's ill to go and stand in the frozen chicken section. Rather than just the frozen section he narrows it down to the frozen chicken section.
listen to all of these on a continuous loop at work, love them to bits..effortlessly hilarious
9:17 and 10:03 is why I adore Ricky - first one sounds very derek-esque
Yes to digging into Chris Moyles hahah
Also love how Karl tries to quickly change the subject every time Ho-Li Fuk is about to be brought up
This is just fantastic entertainment. It's so great that this was on the radio, live.
Among many things I love about this episode, Ricky getting caught off guard by “squoze” at 43:26 is wonderful
You know when you hear “ding dong!” That you’re gonna get a genius comedic character on the level of Chris Moyles
45:34 Stephen slipping in 'not your A-levels but fair enough' when Karl says he gives anything a go once lol.
The way that Steve transitions from lighthearted amusement mocking Karl to abject _terror_ at the mention of Rockbusters coming back
Those adverts for X-Ray Magazine are brilliant, wish youtube ads were Ricky doing ones like that!
I had to play 'em to my bosses...
+HeatyFrog I downloaded all the original clips from the xfm site before youtube and had them on an ipod on repeat. Ffwd 10 years and I'm still listening! I never told anyone for years because I thought it was too weird, but now on youtube its clear I am not alone!!

I did the same!! However they always played in a random order. I didn't mind though.
Same!
I love Karl coughing to try and cover up Ricky saying "Ho Li Fook" as if that could possibly work. Incredible.
Am I the only one thats realised Karl did 'Limp Biscuit' twice? A few episodes ago he said something like 'I've dunked that for too long'
He definitely did, I noticed that too.
yeh i noticed a few days ago lol… been listening these for over 10 years
@@tylerdennis2139same!!! And you just wrote this 12 hours ago!!!
Possibly the funniest episode of all time - the tension level between them all is perfect
Those adverts are genius.
Nice picture
sexy
+Roy Rogers Is that Ross Noble up to his old tricks?
+LoIzords it's one of the SCP numbers, can't remember which one though
Absolutely love these shows to bits but Ricky's sipping of his drink right into the mic goes through me everytime.
17:49 etc
Yeah and he's the one that can't go into a restaurant if its too loud the overweight nonce bag he is
Ricky even comments about this when he said he listened to one back, how he was just eating, making noises because Steve knows what they mean and barely speaking English lol
Let's not forget the mouth breathing
@@custardcreams92 literally noticed it for the first time as I read your comment
This here. This is the funniest episode
certainly one of the best natured
Incorrect.
Round again, just letting you know that I would have liked this again if I could.
Dr Frog is legendary
15:46 hang on sorry, we all agreed, that rockbusters.. was a piece of old toss 😂😂
"I'm into biscuits..."
Surely Gayvid would knock on the back door?

+Reserved Gamer a good image for the cartoon series there :)
That's what I was imagining too when I wrote it out lol. Forgot to mention the ice bag on Steve's head.
Karl misunderstanding something? Perish the thought.
All he needs is a cold ash tray
@@Jamster0510 the coldness gets rid of, the badness

"and ne'ver the where would slep"
"Gather round children. There were once Chinese kid as hairy as that cow"
@@KirkWilson86 he didn't age well either
Love it when Steve says “oooh eh up” when Karl talks about Suzanne’s mam smiling 🤣
Funniest monkey news ever. I shouldn’t have listened to this on the tube I was laughing so hard and got the weirdest looks.
"is that Mr Fook again?" quality 😂😂😂
Haha i love how Ricky says the "dog people" are normal people but then he says they have deformed "back" legs haha :)
😊
Ricky: They're called dog people
Karl: Dog people
Ricky: Not dog people! They're human beings
I was in Hong Kong a few years ago and found a great restaurant called Ho Lee Fook. They gave me a coaster that has been on my coffee table since
Most underrated comment of this episode: Steve at 10:30 “Is Dr Frog still on Classic?” 😂😂😂
After the last two Karl episodes arguably being a couple of the most hostile ones(still enjoyable though!), this episode has a particularly nice vibe!
Karl saying "pain in the ass" quietly at 1:50
As Steve pointed out if you say ass quietly on radio you can get away with murder.
arse*
@@johnny2f55 commitment replying to a 3 year old comment fair play
“See a Chinese person sneeze on a train I was scared for my life”
Never has that sentence been so true atm 😂
This must be my sixth time listening to these, and I've only just noticed Karl calls his in-laws a pain in the arse at 1:54 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Frist time I've noticed it too!
Karl: Rock Busters are coming back for a bit.
Steve: What?!
I love Steve’s unthinking, horrified response that pops out in a millisecond.
Karl was out of order with the whole Robin thing..
Yeah big time. But I agree with him about not wanting Suzanne's parents stalking them on holiday!
He was out of order quite often.
He's a bit of a prick really or was.
I know someone like this. Big headed, know it all, loud, claims he's just "being honest" as an excuse for being an asshole to everyone. He's also from Manchester. I mean are they all like this up north or what?
One of their best episodes!
This is easily the best episode
Steve is actually so clever and witty❤
Just try and listen to 10:00 with a straight face.
Poor Karl trying to sell it afterwards! XD
That story with Robin Ince is just mental.
I love how Ricky has to walk out during Monkey News, but he can't stop himself from coming back in, "I'm listening out there, this is ridiculous.." 😂
It’s funny how they were recording this during SARS and I’m listening during covid-19
I totally sympathize with Steve, I had a sore throat like that a couple years ago and it was absolute agony. I think mine was different though, it was right at the top of the throat. Feeling the most excruciating pain every time you reflexively swallow saliva is torture. It's like there's a knife that stabs the back of your throat every time your throat muscles contract.
Tonsillitis is bloody horrible

Did you go back to your mam and dad's?
@@no7581 Yeah I see your profile picture, no need to describe yourself
A sore throat is bad but nowhere near as bad or life threatening as having wet pants!
34:00 steve being sarcastic about not being able to clout you're mrs always cracks me up 😂😂
Camp and Ho Li are like fine wine
Ricky at 53:10 “Yeah they’re called dog people” Ricky a few seconds later “ No not dog people, they’re human beings Karl “ 🤷🏻♂️
This is such a classic and tight show. And so funny it'll up your day
Some of Steve’s best work on this episode.
A Karl First: Selling the Marketing Director on Ricky’s sarcastic radio spots by pretending to laugh /making him question whether he just didn’t get it is the first time I’ve seen him do something very shrewd in the professional arena. Love it.
Also, I agree with others: this is one of the best episodes despite not having anything particularly famous moments in it.
Wait until you hear how he used to steal from his boss on his first job and lied constantly on his CV
My favorite episode by far. “Malingering geek” lol
The best episode ever.
It's funny how Ricky called out Atomic Kitten as one that doesn't really work when it's one of the best ones.
They meant great pussy
I honestly don't think this would be allowed to air in 2018 🤣

Tourettes Trent Derby is ingenious. One of the best Rockbusters.
So good.

best episode
I like how Ricky says “not dog people, they’re human with deformed legs” yet 10 seconds before he agrees with Karl and says dog people 😂
Yeah he's the one who said dog people to start with and Karl was just repeating what be said lol
The curse of the pseudo-intellectual.
I like this episode cus it paints Karl as such a nobhead; to Ricky’s mate, Suzanne’s Mom, and Steve. It’s so different to see him as the bad guy.
Possibly my favourite episode of XFM 😂😂
"Me clothes weren't always the best and they were a bit worn but they were always clean"
Can't believe Ricky and Steve didn't cop Karl referencing one of his favourite tunes, Living in the City by Stevie Wonder
So, which are everybody's favourite episodes? This has got to be up there for me, when Ricky is cracking jokes and then Karl goes "riiiiight" like a pissed off mum before the record starts 😂
7:15 BRAVO! GET HIM BACK WITH THE GARIBALDI'S - THE BEST I'VE EVER HAD!
54:23 + 54:30 top 5 renditions of the Monkey News jingle.
I once saw Ricky live at Newcastle and I'm sure Robin was his support act. Very small thumbs.
Great episode this one
51:40 Ricky’s impression of Karl is basically Paul Sykes haha
Why don't they do more of these? they're amazing binge watch these throughout the day
Ricky: 'Yeah I've seen it, they're called dog people'
Karl: 'Dog people, right'
Ricky: 'NOT DOG PEOPLE, THEY'RE HUMAN BEINGS'
Love this episode.
He says she’s not a dog, but then says ‘back legs’. 😂
The way he sabotaged those commercials as a joke on Karl kills me
My favourite episode. What's going through Ricky's head in that pause before he says Ho Li Fuk for the first time?
Anybody else listening to this during the Coronavirus pandemic 2020?
10 months later and I’ve come back around, and here in the U.K. we’re still at the same point pretty much pandemic-wise. Let’s hope that by the next time I come around everything will have improved.
11 months on again and things have actually improved here in Wales, UK! Covid is still ongoing but restrictions are lifted, at least.
See you all in another 10/11 months!
Gayvid Gay the Bent Pianist. RIIIIIIIIIIGHT!
Funniest moment in the episode for me!
Steve and Karl work so well together when they are being offensive.
“Little plate of meatballs on the floor…. And a bowl of wine”
“DON’T. TALK. SHITE. TWICE!”
50:25 then onwards is gold, Ricky and Steve's pisstaking is class. 51:35 is even better with the miserly antics of Karl haa
