Ricky and Karl - Social Networking

Karl and Ricky have a chat about Facebook and Twitter.

[@thanks-jt8dp]

I love how Karl's greeting is always "alright"

[@tomdavies6256]

No matter what the situation is, it's always "Alright?" 😂😂

[@BaldMancTwat]

He also says that as goodbye.

[@placebodomingo3277]

Oight.

[@davidweber2143]

very common in Manchester

[@davidweber2143]

it's short for "are you alright?"

[@GARGANTUANMASKEDFISH]

Karl, a regular man who gets offered the big break of a lifetime by the BBC, goes onto BBC, tells the audience they could be doing far better than watching the BBC - and then keeps his job anyway.
What a fucking hero.

[@AA-hg5fk]

He's right though, almost everything churned out by the BBC is rubbish.

[@aintgonnahappen]

Karls face is so innocent looking..lol. Love that guy.

[@aintgonnahappen]

*****
Not you Karl. Yours looks like a sour grape just went down and then cleansed with a hot beer...

[@ohshialabooof8958]

GO OUT!!!!...happy Christmas.

[@ilikesaltines]

I wish SO much that Karl would use his twitter to voice his thoughts. I would never get sick of the little things he thinks of.

[@JakeZawmby]

AMEN.

[@Hassus]

@KPilkington
It would be spiteful to put jellyfish in a trifle #getridofem

[@dnmcfall]

There is an account which offers daily quotes of his.

[@AshChirnMusic]

He sometimes replies to comments on his facebook page and the things he posts are exactly how he talks.

[@BaldMancTwat]

Ironically he does use Facebook even though in the video he says he doesn't even know what it is. If you send him an interesting enough video (About monkeys or freaks most likely) then he might reply to you, although it's usually just "mad innit" or something like that.

[@battlelux]

Karl’s a genius. A lot of people are described as being ahead of their time. Karl is behind his. Which is way better.

[@AA-hg5fk]

If not using social media makes me behind the times I'm gladly behind them.

[@BaldMancTwat]

@@AA-hg5fk You're consuming media right now on a social platform. The horror!
Jokes aside, I get what you mean. It's best to stay anonymous on the internet and not go into the realms of the self-obsessed.

[@rhyscarter3939]

When Karl says "Happy Christmas", that's hilarious.
what's great about Karl is that he doesn't even know he's funny, which is a fantastic quality to have. He'll never be affected by fame

[@skylerdrabing4323]

+Rhys Carter he knows that he's funny, it's more that his natural personality is just idiotically hilarious at times

[@christopherhakes7719]

+Rhys Carter Karl says "Happy Christmas." Ricky cracks up then Karl looks at him like he genuinely didn't realize what he said was hilarious.

[@TheKoxy1995]

He's not stupid, he realizes it. That is all part of his act

[@RiC_David]

This was the best indicator of Karl intentionally stifling a smile for the sake of the bit. He's not "playing a character", but he's playing up a persona - same way any comedian does and same way any regular person does when performing. If you listen to series one of the XFM Ricky Gervais Show, the difference between him being passively funny and pretty quickly learning to be actively funny is clear. He hadn't quite honed the little things, like trying not to laugh because it's funnier to play humour straight. He's not a comedian, he's just a person who's funny, and humour can still be intentional.

[@1NavyLT]

Karl is hilarious! Their brotherhood chemistry is great, too. You can tell they are good friends. Karl cracks Ricky up almost every other sentence so you can tell Ricky loves knowing him. That, in and of itself, is funny to watch sometimes. Best of luck to them both.

[@rikathome2]

Love that surprised/slightly scared look Karl does whenever Ricky does a big laugh

[@JazReviews]

Well no, he's very philosophical, he sees things and he thinks about them and how they could be improved and how the bullshit can be destroyed

[@salami99]

agreed man is fax machine frfr

[@galicians1]

100%, he is a bullshit destroyer, I admire him for that

[@mikhailman]

The bullshit man strikes again!

[@rot6662]

@@galicians1 he's bullshit man

[@joewright9879]

I don’t lose any sleep over this, but I like to think that these two keep in touch with each other. Karl making Ricky laugh at the end made me think of my brother and I hanging out together.

[@Mightytufo]

The comedic timing is why I love listening to Karl. You'll never see it coming yet you know it's gonna happen

[@cuber9320]

Happy Christmas!😂

[@SirCumference31]

In human history, I doubt any non-comedian has been laughed at as much as Karl has. But he still seems to have kept his sanity.

[@guzzaroolz]

It's so annoying that Karl won't use Twitter because of all the celebrities I follow, he's the one I want to know most about what he's thinking and doing.

[@RhapsodyOfHammerfall]

Ricky has gotten better looking since he lost the weight and gained the facial hair.

[@sweetenoughtv288]

cool

[@jordanlyons5323]

+Terri Coverley Fuck off Terri! always in the way. You saucy slag.

[@PlayaP69]

Have you ever seen 20 y/o singer Ricky?

[@denadavey1470]

I think his teeth are sooo sexy! Not keen on the rest tho’ !

[@angelkotilainen]

He's not wrong though is he, I spend too much time online, I don't really go out, and I've got all their shows and books downloaded illegally cus I'm skint. Facts right there.

[@AA-hg5fk]

Get yourself a CB radio.

[@mybrainsondrums]

im convinced ricky's laugh could cure most major diseases. we need to start clinical trials

[@AA-hg5fk]

Ricky's loud, hyena-like laugh is awful when listening to the old Xfm shows on headphones

[@Lukecaseyshaw]

@@AA-hg5fk yeh, his laugh on XFM through ANC headphones turned up full, should be a torture method

[@YangSing1]

"Give us a retweet"

[@MrFoxInc]

"GO OUT!!" Timeless message, truly a philosopher of our times

[@Krackerjax]

how does ricky's amazing laugh never make him even crack a smile?

[@reinforcedpenisstem]

This is better than any show, even in HD

[@thegamebastard]

i love how Ricky's laugh at the end scares Karl

[@lfricmunuc4534]

All the young people are like "What the hell is CB?"

[@ZPSBestProfileName]

+Lieutenant Ivan What does it stand for?

[@therealoneeighth]

CB stands for citizens band. I think

[@jameshickey1294]

End of 2021 an Karl is still brilliant 👏 👌

[@slurpeyatari]

The way his mouth moves when he says retweet had me rolling.

[@Matty6660]

i agree with karl social networking is a hassle with people pestering you

[@paugargallo7813]

The comedic timing on that Happy Christmas 😂

[@aaronrushton1]

when he said "go out!" and looked into my eyes i felt strangely compelled.

[@tush8912]

I waited for that laugh for ages. Karl is
the best

[@kaarl1815]

thanks

[@tush8912]

***** meheheheh

[@michaelnourse3243]

'appy Christmas....

[@Dickie2shoes]

Buy on Ferry

[@joseph1845]

Nicked rake

[@kortexsirvasil]

He was really genuine back in the early radio days, like around 2001. He got used to being a clown since and is now much more self-aware and controlled.

[@juancarlosgallegos3902]

The way Karl looks surprised at Ricky's laugh at the end... he doesn't know why he's so funny

[@JefficusMaximus]

The "Happy Christmas" killed me! Haha Karl knew what he was doing with that comment

[@BenGarman]

I love how he has such flagrant scorn for his audience and fan base. What a hero. I hate us too.

[@beccatee66]

He is sooo precious. Like an old man. I think his Dad would be even better. I'm sure. Just saying

[@beccatee66]

***** What does that mean?

[@K-J-B]

+Rebecca Trenorden it's a quote from one of their Xfm shows. Karl called someone a bog standard old woman.

[@Aalborg42]

he did put Forrest Gump in a wheelie bin

[@spreadthelove77]

Kyle Barratt Hilda! 😂😂👍🏼

[@francisguidera972]

I am genuinely starting to wonder if Karl is the comedy genius behind Ricky Gervais??? :)

[@GerryBolger]

FJ MUSIC He's obviously an actor called Graham.

[@TheShortbread123]

Will Clement Merchant is nothing compared to Gervais.

[@Nina8esy]

Gotta love the "Happy Christmas" at the end LMAO!

[@lindastoakes1268]

Ricky's got the best laugh ever 🤣🤣😁

[@xcitera3081]

Just LOOK at karl's expression at 2:38 when ricky start laughing. Priceless.

[@DH-ij9pe]

Karl is a world treasure.

[@bartcolen]

"'Give us a retweet'. How is that teaching you anything?"

[@donmajestic5258]

Happy Christmas.

[@BigMcLargeHuge213]

Thank you so much for that informative comment. If it weren't for your comment I would have totally missed that part of the video. Again, thank you.

[@Dajman1594]

That last bit hit me right in the feels. Damn you, Karl.

[@adamtaylor12345]

He's right I'm going out

[@simonking195]

i could watch these 2 all day

[@mooalijasmine]

He's great! He makes so much sense. He's like a human Creature Comforts, which was fashioned after Pilkington type humans. So, I guess he's like the human incarnation of something non-human that mimics humans!

[@ACook94]

Karl, this is much better than anything on telly atm!

[@srevero1]

Love your honesty, Karl.

[@iamtherealrenedescartes]

I know about the podcasts yes. I only found them recently though lol. I know I've missed so much. I can't believe I missed this guy and I even remember seeing a little clip on an advert but I never thought to watch it. I listen to the podcasts when I'm browsing or just messing on my computer.

[@norealmagicever3292]

karl always looks like hes on the verge of tears lmao

[@mucusmayhem1118]

"Go OUT!!!.... Happy Christmas" Underlying genius is in his little round head. Pure class. Everything makes sense, read between the lines.
😂 😂 😂

[@_J.F_]

I love the Christmas greeting from Karl at the end 😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@orth82]

*love* that about him! :) Adore him for not doing the bungee jump and not being on twitter. Long live the individual that is K.P.! :D

[@bexm8]

"Happy Christmas :)"

[@dantaylor897]

Happy christmas.😂 I fukin lost it like Rick

[@chaffam11]

GO OUT...............Happy Christmas!

[@CustardBananaCat]

Jesus christ, I let out such a Ricky-esque laugh because of this.

[@TobyJae]

Karl is the only man on television who makes sense.

[@mrbiker1294]

There’s a lot people like Karl around England don’t get recognised I hear people like him daily 🤷‍♂️

[@norituk9824]

There should be a book of Karl's sayings -
"If you can't look a knob in the face there's something wrong ..."
"Tiny Tim go and get a chicken ..."

[@Hannahxx1971]

Loved going on CB radio! My mates older brother had one, my friend was Danger mouse and I was Penfold...

[@Ermac97]

Did Karl say his code name on CB was Pilky01?!?! I'm changing my gamertag to that!

[@LightspeedGaming]

GO OUT... Happy Christmas. 😂😂

[@hypermonkey13]

I would say he is much more known from the XFM radio shows, they are much older but that spawned the tv series because he had so many fans.

[@DeanWhipper]

Reading half the comments on these videos brings me to tears in hysterics, it's fake, it's all fake.

[@qqqqqfg]

Go out!! Happy Christmas lol

[@maxmagraw]

"Pilki01"! I love it!

[@optimusgrimey]

This has warmed me up nicely for new An Idiot Abroad with Karl and Warwick, I can't wait!

[@briancd37]

I love Karl.... When are we going to see him again?

[@Penthox]

***** Really!? woooh!

[@mrlozmoore]

+Penthox it's just finished 6 of 6 episodes. : )

[@sneakysnake4466]

Thats probably the most reasonable and calm conversation they ever had (well, recorded at least)

[@mrlavabeast]

Just a natural comedic character, he's just funny being himself.

[@NibberKSmooth]

Only Karl can be so naturally savvy and hilarious.

[@The5thSnow]

Was waiting the whole time for Ricky's iconic laugh and got it at the end :)

[@HungryTacoBoy]

The last thing Karl says killed me.

[@battyflaps5410]

Go Out!!! Happy christmas

[@mrfundah]

its nice too see they have customised the shape of the microphone to match karls head

[@DeusBelli1]

At 1:57 Karl does a great 4th wall break, and both he and Ricky look at the camera at the same time, but only for a split second. I have no idea why, but that made my fucking day.

[@Fleischmann773]

i acctually went out after watching this. thanks Karl!

[@JohnnyLeyenda]

That most of the time Suzanne has to put up with that, he clearly doesn't make sacrifices for the woman he loves.

[@RWBZF]

I would do the quotes thing and pick out the funniest line, but it's just everything he says is pure gold.

[@furiousfelicia5751]

Karl actually sounded quite philosophical there, and used cool analogies as well.

[@101Futile]

And once again Ricky started laughing while Karl remained totally calm :D

[@nakata023]

I love that look Ricky gives the camera at 0:29.

[@chorgin]

karls face when ricky laughs the last time "Priceless"

[@ludmillawebb]

Happy Xmas and all out look at trees!!!!! Hallelujah

[@pasqualedilorenzo9089]

Karl just cracks me up, every time

[@shaolintiger88]

Karl is a lyrical spherical miracle.

[@ashepe]

Karl's right about so many things :) btw I LOVE Ricky's laugh!!

[@Rosvolainen]

How Karl always manages to resist it is remarkable.

[@melleeman]

GO OUT!!!!!!!!!! .....................merry xmas LMFAO

[@Nomoredrama2000]

Go out!!
.......
... Happy Christmas.
😂👏🏼

[@rebeccadelbridge2998]

It's so cute how enamoured Ricky is with Karl. I am as well.

[@Blackwell000]

Karl should be nominated for an Oscar. He is top notch!

[@mabarcomb3310]

Karl, we watch you because you are the most entertaining person on tele. :)

[@Mrpejimini]

Thanks Karl. We love you too :D

[@MrRealitycheque]

the delivery of happy christmas was fucking perfect

[@nathanhall48]

Thats probably the most depressing way to say happy christmas to someone :L..karl and ricky are absolute legends
