That's what makes this one the best monkey news... because every other time ricky guesses who the simian character is before the reveal, but karl got one over him thus time:)
Early Karl was not a work, which is incredible. Ricky spent too much time with him and was completely baffled by this wonderful Manc. It's his curiosity that was the key. After he got a bit older he became more self aware, and would call this a load of old rubbish. He was a shooting star
I love Ricky but I feel Steve's pain a lot of the time, you know the story is gonna be outlandish and hilarious but you need to let Karl just talk, cutting him off with logic ruins the humour in it.
stcrude I love Ricky's reactions 90% of the time but Ricky knows what Karl is like and that's why he had him on the radio, you have to let him speak to get what we want to hear, react to the punchline not the opening line. My favourite moment is when they are talking about the infinite monkeys writing the works of Shakespeare, given an infinite amount of time and Ricky threatens to knock Karl out because of his stupidity, he reacted at the perfect times, sometimes I think he's very premature is all.
I also disagree. I find that Ricky's early interjections and dissection of illogical and impossible aspects of the stories often prompt Karl to add more detail or to blend in possible explanations, almost always increasing the absurdity.
"Normal day, everything's going normal..."
😅😅😅
It's a story that 'appened.
NOOOOOOOOOO
Karl's pretty quick and sharp sometimes. "Lemme cue it up." 0:10
Mate he's a comedic genius.
SOMETIMES!? He's sharp as a tack.
genuinely the best 6 minutes 50 seconds of radio ever created
I agree, the hardest I've ever laughed at something
Pork chop lady comes close
@@EwanHibs Men in Black/there's this thing in it for me.
I love how in Karl's mind the people's reaction to a bank robber is "Awwww god, wish I didn't come in here, it's not gonna be a good day" 😂
'Steve', the most credible of sources
🤣🤣
He's got it off the internet.
"starts backing out with the gun and the money" haha
are you still alive nicolas??
@@twat9954 still here , thanks to your comment I am listening to the k-man after a long time
@@nicolassilva9236 oh wow i didn’t expect a response lol
@@twat9954 Nice to meet you.
Never seen it since
I’m convinced that the original robber was going to be a monkey until Rick questioned it and then Karl changed it on the fly.
Great point. And I've listened to this 100s of time
Nope
Nah. At the start of the story he says "there's a bit before the Monkey". Before Ricky questioned it.
Yes was just about to comment same thing 😂
"There's been a lot going on....."
“It’s worse!” 😂
im absolutely crying
When he said the monkey started backing up with the gun and the monkey I fucking lost it
Technically Karl didn’t break the rules. That fella was not simian. So Ricky can’t end Monkey News.

@@andrewgalea5012 like when he guesses it’s a cyclist and it’s a tricyclist…my all time fav
Actually, Karl DID technically break the rules. The infraorder ‘Simians’ includes all monkeys and all apes, including humans.
If I ever feel down I watch this
"Shut up Rick"
That fella who emailed about Donald McIntyre could not have hoped for a better outcome lol, Karl completely believed it for ages 😂
'Not sure whether it was for withdrawal or deposit'
What a great line!
"It doesn't say if he went off to Spain" fucking killed me!
"Is it from Reuters?"
"Listen it's from Steve!"
" it's a story that happened " LMFAO stop just stop it
"Story that 'appened" is a phrase I use because of this
Right, We're never doing this again!
It's a story that happened
5:30 NOO-
Best thing ever.
"Think karl think"
steve LOVES the jingle haha
Karl's quiet "okay" at the end ahahahahaha
“Does a runner with the money” 🤣🤣🤣
No one’s seen it since
"Did he swing his way to freedom?!" Hahaha
Up to no good.
Stephen is right. Ricky should let Karl finish it.
Rick's constant sniping and mockery makes it all the more funny for me.
This was the first of their radio shows I ever heard
Early Karl was not a work, which is incredible. Ricky spent too much time with him and was completely baffled by this wonderful Manc. It's his curiosity that was the key. After he got a bit older he became more self aware, and would call this a load of old rubbish.
He was a shooting star
Fella comes in
Busy asking for coffee.
"did he swing his way to freedom" hahahahahahahahaha
5:46 "BUT..."
The way Ricky tells Karl he's an idiot is hilarious.
"Oh God it's worse"
Karl's unsure if the monkey came to the bank for a deposit or a withdrawal.
Guess we'll never know.
2:00 am, got school tomorrow lol
123reletive123 memories
This actually did happen..Go Karl
It happened on television you clown
5:38 When you casually reference a scene from an adult superhero cartoon 20 years before it came out.
That show didn't coin that phrase
@@ElStink4K I know but it sure as shit popularised it.
Which cartoon?
@@krystiankowalski7335 Invincible
@@DerpyDoshnot it didn't kid it existed LONG before that silly superhero show. Lmao perspective mark perspective
Manc-y news.
💰🔫🐒🚗🐵
aight? If yer a new listener.. this is where we do a bit of monkey news an’ that..
Come on!!!!!!!
This is my favorite monkey news segment. Did they use this on the animated show?
Nah cos it's from the XFM shows. Animated show was only from the Podcasts.
@@Scallion_Dthey could do a whole other 13 episodes based off the xfm podcasts 🙏🙏
I$ it a man 🤣🤣🤣
I love Ricky but I feel Steve's pain a lot of the time, you know the story is gonna be outlandish and hilarious but you need to let Karl just talk, cutting him off with logic ruins the humour in it.
i totally disagree. i think ricky being genuinely offended about how stupid the stories are adds to the tension and comedic timing
stcrude I love Ricky's reactions 90% of the time but Ricky knows what Karl is like and that's why he had him on the radio, you have to let him speak to get what we want to hear, react to the punchline not the opening line.

I disagree I think Ricky getting so pissed off with how stupid it is makes it funnier. And Steve trying to calm him down adds to the humour as well
Nope, without the exasperated/angry interjections it wouldn’t be anywhere near as funny.
whats goin on ea
I’m doing other stuff and that
THEY PLAYED SEVEN SEAS OF RHYE BY QUEEN AT THE END, WOOOOOOOO
It’s not like, an obscure song
@@alfiemitchell3026 no but it's pretty rare to hear someone play one of the three-four good songs Queen made.
ah shoot me
4:33 “Oh god, it’s worse”
It's a story that 'appened.
