In about my 8th or 9th time on a loop of these and the podcasts and I've grown to love the sturgess episodes ..Ricky and Steve actually run the show and it's not bad when ya listen so much you sometimes need a tiny break from the tripe😂
31:29 Ricky: "Well lets not rub it in theres people starving in the world.." Steven: "Hopefully they're not listening to the radio" Ricky: "Well no probably not..." Steven: "Just scrabbling around in the cold and the dirt, looking for food" This line killed me :'DD hahahahahah
It seems that Ricky and Steve are always very giddy, and in some ways funnier, whenever Sturgess takes over. Do you reckon they’re trying to impress the smack head?
Bassey is my all time favourite ep title, sums it up perfectly. And im on my 19th listen through, so I k ow what im babbling about (or ive gone insane)
No way have I done this intentionally as these 3 have been on a continuous loop now for the past 6 years... but it’s actually Christmas tomorrow.. Finally... the planets are lining up.
what a difference a year makes...this time next year and the year after, in season 2 and 3, Ricky says he hates Christmas telly and it's worse than usual
When they got back on xfm steve heard: We got u a producer. He was so honing for a woman. From the whole series this one with clair steve is totaly different. He lets her finish her stories. He asks her questions. And talking to ricky most time he is just talking. But every time clair u like this. Clair listen to this. Nice story clair. He clair. Ohhh steven i hope u got lucky ones in the last 10 years
McFigroll he has yet to realize that really cool people are just confidently themselves. Steve is a loser because he tries so desperately to become popular and cool all of the time
@@TheTerrorUforgot Partly that's a persona he's putting on though. Anyone implying they're a sad virgin geek who only longs after getting a girlfriend, live on air, is being sarcastic. Based on real-life character traits, but still. On the whole he's not trying to be popular and cool (at least not on the show) He's just genuinely witty, which he routinely undermines by playing a loser.
00:50 the borderline casual sexism from Dermot O’Leary, and this is only just over twenty years ago. He wouldn’t dare say something like that now. Funny how times change!
Right at the start when Dermot went "don't lean over like that" and all the jokes they make about her being a smack head; IMAGINE trying to do this in 2019. There would be a public enquiry.
@@bobobsen Just listen to the show; observe Ricky and steve's style of comedy in their other works, such as extras and the office. Observe how they behave when not on-air, such as during interviews, on stage and behind the scenes) and just apply common sense. Of course, it stands to reason that the characters and relationships portrayed on the show aren't mirroring reality, they're exaggerating it for comedic purposes. This also goes for Karl.
God damn, when I listen to this I can't help but think that Steve criticizing LotR, HP, and anything fantasy related is laughable. Like on one hand, I think "Just let people like what they like." Comparable to pineapple on pizza. I like it. I like fantasy stuff. It's not for everyone. But I also recognize that I'm a bit of a hypocrite because I look at the furries like they're subhuman. Like... take that bestiality-adjacent kink like.... really far away from me, please.
I have to be the only person on Earth that likes them hahaha I had one that came with a biker it was apparently rare cuz my dad sold it for like £120 or something in my teens

Steve mocking people who re-read harry potter. Here i am re-listening to this for the 5th time straight
Just in case you missed something the first time around?
You’re right he should mock you too, it’s not good enough.
Only 5 times? I could multiply that by 10 and probably still wouldn't get close to the true number
Into the micropole, that goes down the loudy box and out to the radiograph that homes all around ENGLOID! LOL
ENGLOID always got me too. Think its near the end of series 4 he calls Karl 'K-Man PILKOIDS' 😂
"she needs her fix shes all grumpy" hahaha..
the sturgess is a junkie jokes are allways funny
The first of Karl's many holidays. Though Lanzagrotty is a long way off 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wish I could go on holiday
17:19 "Still, he has bred peoplllllle!" lmao Steve comes out with some great lines.
Don't know why the word 'Bassey' without the 'Shirley' is so funny 😂
It's so disrespectful to a Dame and they do it twice
I always thought it was pronounced like "bass-y" as in the opposite of trebly.
"Merry Christmas. War is over."
"Is it really?"
Love this misunderstanding.
35:43 Lmao Sturgess blurting out the name of the track at the last second epitomizes the endearing shoddiness of this show.
I think that was Steve playing a joke on Sturgess, he could probably see her eating or doing something off mic and put her on the spot.
@@chunking0 yea, that and she has to be quiet when Ricky is talking or he gets grumpy
@@Christoff070 and I love that Steve and Ricky are always talking over each other and that's fine but if it's anyone else doing it he throws a fit
does anybody else realise that Dermot sounds a lot like Warick!!!!!
well yeah, now i do :O
I thought that's who it was.
don’t you mean Warren?
Yep that's who I thought it was at first
I think they cut Dermot in half and warrick is the half that lived
Another run through these. Greetings from Houston,Texas. Watch out for the puddles.
Will bring the knee pads, just in case.

Ricky: "Well lets not rub it in theres people starving in the world.."
Steven: "Hopefully they're not listening to the radio"
Ricky: "Well no probably not..."
Steven: "Just scrabbling around in the cold and the dirt, looking for food"
This line killed me :'DD hahahahahah
Hahaha!
thank you for this
I've been trying to find this for ages. Had me in fucking stitches 😂
The way Gervais says "why do you need a bionic horse?" Makes me laugh, he sounds legitimately beside himself hahaha
I love the Dennis Norten impression. He got that spot-on.
If you're one of those people...
"Shirley Bassey was there."
"What did Bassey say?"
".."Bassey."
"No, no, when Bassey came to Pinewood Studios.."
""Bassey", HAHA!"
These shows are just unbelievable love it 😂
Thank you Man Moth from New England
Thank you Man Moth from Old England
Man moth is a living legend! Keep up the good work. Oh and have a merry Xmas
It seems that Ricky and Steve are always very giddy, and in some ways funnier, whenever Sturgess takes over. Do you reckon they’re trying to impress the smack head?
Nah mate, they just have to make more of an effort without karl's seamless twaddle.
The boys actually make their jokes themselves, rather than sitting back and laughing at Karl.
I’ve always thought that too
Sturgess episodes are underrated!
I LOVE the sturgess smack addiction bits. Where did that joke start I wonder?
This episode was broadcasted on my third birthday, wow.
Weird innit.
No, I don't remember that.
You were probably sitting on a potty surrounded by Lego
The radio difference between Dermot O'Leary and Ricky and Steve is enormous. One's ephemeral awfulness, the other, we listen to 20+ years later.
he's avin a go
@@maxtully7321 play a record
He’s made Diddly look like a bit of a twat already, and it’s only five past one.
Dermot can still get radio gigs. Not heading much of Ricky Steve or Karl on the radio these days. Probably what spurred them on.
Bassey is my all time favourite ep title, sums it up perfectly. And im on my 19th listen through, so I k ow what im babbling about (or ive gone insane)
The reason vegetarian sausages and burgers are that shape is the very reason meat ones are- best to fit in the buns.
Never gets old.
Ricky Gervais Fan Toby would be proud Man Moth
Did anybody else skip the shows without Karl?
It's like finding buried treasure listening to them for the first time!
Linkin Park and... one of their songs. You can tell he's a fan lmao
thank you from Washington 🤘
How do u know of this
juan soro thank you from CALIFORNIA👌👌👌
"What you want to buy is pornographic magazines."
"Tell me more!"
@@capnhawkins Are there ladies? Nudie ladies?
I always wondered if sturgges was as fit in person as she sounds... she is.
Well Dennis, he's 84
And
Thisnis what we call talking to the director General
Are HILARIOUS lines 🤣
ricky in 2001: expressing distaste and anger toward vegetarians and vegans
ricky in 2021: vegan
OMG 20 YEARS CAN CHANGE PEOPLE??? WHO KNEW??!
I would love Ricky and Steve to write a dystopian future action film.
0:52 The outcry if that was said this day and age 🤣
You have a dog shit imagination.
I did wince a bit 😂 bit gross of Dermot to say that not only out loud but on air
It's so weird hearing Ricky Gervais talking to Dermot O'Leary
For about a minute I thought that was Warick
As much as I try, it ain't the same without the twaddle.
I like them now
@@tom-du2tqthis comment is the only reason I will listen to this episode, I was gonna skip. Thanks, Tom
I love this, LotR, and Harry Potter.
Out of the three this one is the most shoddy. But that hardly needs to be said.
"Whats a tree, download!" XD
These are gold.
No way have I done this intentionally as these 3 have been on a continuous loop now for the past 6 years... but it’s actually Christmas tomorrow..
Finally... the planets are lining up.
No it isn't. It's the middle of summer. Play a record
"I'm only joking, mum. Let's have some more!"
25:29 - You just wait til you hear what Karl has in store for the year after, 2001 Steve...
21:31 "Hahaha Bassy" 😂
I say "what's a tree? Download" about once a month
Lol
That's a great pull. Everyone always goes for quotes.
in love with steve tbh
Listening to this at Boots Christmas shopping for my gf
"I've walked past a farm while on holiday."
wonder if sturgess is still stealing?
Feeding that dirty smack habit..
definitely, for a five dollar starter bag of skag
Alan Dodd still a-thievin'
I've got a tenner she can have if she's desperate for some :P
what a difference a year makes...this time next year and the year after, in season 2 and 3, Ricky says he hates Christmas telly and it's worse than usual
Deary me, Princess Superstar.
Now there's a blast from the past.
Playing hard and loose with the word 'blast' there pal
4:20 anyone else notice ricky sounds like his mum here
Steve merchant cannot honestly call anyone else a dork or a geek lol. Especially metal heads which I don’t get how it’s dorky but mkay hahaha
Ricky "hahaha Bassey"

Ohhh steven i hope u got lucky ones in the last 10 years
Calling her Bassey cracks me up too
[about Oasis] "They can still come back". 22 years after they did
steve always sounds jealous when they talk about the popularity of "geeks"
McFigroll he has yet to realize that really cool people are just confidently themselves. Steve is a loser because he tries so desperately to become popular and cool all of the time
+d jones These people are just salty about them slagging off LotR. Happens on every episode where they do it.
smalla ss that's the satire bit bro
watch the office
in 2002 the geeks weren't nearly as 'cool' as they are now. Slightly before that they were still being beaten up, or at last laughed at.

She's got a sexy voice, at least to Americans.
21:38 xD
'Bassey'
Blunder!
What did you call me?!
Fatty
Was expecting Steve to come back with "Blubber"
...how the go-kart is good and evyl
I really need this after a sh1t day surrounded by caaaaaaaaaants!
Still here
Claire's gasp at 6:06
Reacted as if someone had been killed
I love Claire but I always hate that part. Way too over the top.
@@Zorak9595 that’s just how women react to a social faux pas
Anyone know the song at 9.20 whilst ricky is still speaking?
U2 'Ground Beneath Her Feet'. Ricky even says it as he's playing it. x
Everyone loves scratching off scratch cards though. Its like popping bubble wrap.

Snob int he?
Mad lol

To be fair, Dermot's comment has not aged well at all, and I don't know why you're defending it. I cringe at it.
@@JustinKlineTheComedian Oh don't be a prude. They're obviously friends, she didn't care, no harm to anyone.

I knew a woman with wooden teeth! Really bloody old in the 90's.
Dermot proving what an utter lecherous cubt he is at the beginning of thus
22:22
Kingdom come
"she's leaving out the vomiting because she can't get her fat fingers in 'er mouth."
imagine that on the radio now
I cant be the only one that skipped this ep because there's no karl 😂
I skip them 4 times out of 5 😂
Some of the best ones are with Claire.
I love these
On my second round. I did skip all of the Claire ones the first go round. This time I won’t.
