Ricky saying they got Karl out of the gutter is out of order. Over time he’s made several condescending comments that tells of a snobbish, insensitive nature. Ricky should know better.
I think your overthinking it. I’m sure Karl is very happy that Ricky gave him the opportunity to succeed well beyond his own expectations. Reminds me of footballers crying over a bit of criticism from fans whilst earning 300k a week 🤷♂️
There's one when Rick insists on buying burgers n basicly bullied karl on air to eat these when he knows Karl has trouble swallowing food. Rick gets carried away being a total pr**k to karl sometimes n it shows his true colours. 👍
@@fullenglish3371 Footballers strive to be footballers. Karl had no desire to be famous. Karl had already exceeded his own expectations in radio. Already had a life, a career, a partner, a flat, etc. BEFORE he even met Ricky. R&S show up, paired with Karl as a producer. Ricky finds out Karl has hilarious opinions on all sorts of subjects, gets Karl to opine on-air. Karl's input greatly popularizes the show. Later, Ricky has ideas for Karl on the telly. And just like Ricky said, "To put Karl in miserable conditions to hear him moan." Then Ricky plays this all off as a "gift." It's not a gift if there is *expected* recompense, recognition, or reward. Ricky is nothing more than a moderately clever opportunist. The *real* gift is Karl falling into Ricky's sphere. A gift for Ricky. Which he took full advantage of. And benefitted the most financially.

Yeah, the company should have fired him for bullying on multiple occasions. Though the dynamic is funny as hell, so maybe I'm part of the problem too
