I've been ill lately and these have been my medication. I've listened for 23 years since day dot, as Karl would say - but lately - they are my saviour ❤
I know, so so cute. In every other version of that track he's muted out much sooner, I LOVE him cheering. That guy's brought me so many hours, weeks, months and YEARS of happiness.
37:05 I will always love Steve for sticking up to Karl in these moments. Of course of the time they take the piss out of the guy (as mates do, really) but I feel he was always underappreciated for these bits! And Karl of course going insane because he beat Ricky just warms my heart every single time.
"Are there any blind women living on their own?" I love Steves creepy sad persona, it's quite funny and he fully embraces it. What makes it even better is that you know its somewhat genuine.
You're probably aware, but Steve played the part of an extremely creepy-looking serial killer in a true crime TV series recently. Can't remember the name of the show or the killer, but if you Google it you will find it. He was PERFECT for the role, but I did wonder how he reacted when his agent said, OK, so I've got you a part in this thing, and it's an absolutely freaky looking guy.
@@therealryan1329 Yeah it was very good. I think he acted really well. Probably shouldn't be too serious here, but the failings of the police in that case were shocking. I believe a report found that lazy homophobia was a huge cause.
@Derek Knight Agree~All 3 are equally funny and quick-witted in their unique style..What makes them my ultimate fav is that they compliment each other so well, including setting up jokes for the others knowing what's coming.
+Nuie Corbeau its nice saying hi to fellow gervais fans.. I haven't met any yet in person who has listened to these xfm shows, have you? I recon when I eventually do I'll be unhealthily excited and end being best friends or something lol 😘

40:15 - "Ok. A bloke, just in his swimming trunks, walks in to a swimming pool full of man eating sharks. He walks around for a bit and slowly gets out the other side, and he's not bitten or anything. Why not?" "Cos they'd already eaten?" "No. They're starving hungry." "H...He walked through the water..so.." "Yeah." "It wasn't like, there wasn't, like, a bridge?" " No. He actually was in the water, soaking wet, the sharks..." "He, uh, he had like a metal suit on?"

".......Well that's just stupid." xD
@@craigmcmillan7401 Same here! However, I don't understand it (I'm American). He makes the same joke in an After Life outtake with the chick who was in Extras. What's it mean?
@@ofrenic that's actually a myth about Rotten regarding Saville Rotten wasn't banned from the BBC for that comment, he AND the sex pistols were black listed for other things their is no documentation proving it was the Saville comments that claim only comes from him but as I said the whole of the sex pistols were black listed for other things Rotten was never truly banned anyway as he appeared on the BBC again two years after that Saville interview It's simply a myth that Rotten was banned for that comment
The impressions kill me xD 1 of the best episodes imho. Hearing about their early gigs and overall, a cheery day. Tights and cigars for everyone! PS - I bet lighthouse keepers get knackered from walking up the steps to turn the light on.
A better solution to that one about the two people born on the same day of the same mother and father is that they were born on the same day in different years
@@AA-fn9xz search UA-cam for XFM series 0. There's only a few episodes so it won't be long before they start naming closeted entertainers like Andy Peters and Phillip Schofield. It's quite funny
Does anyone else pick up when Steve's talking about the Fantasy Island Roadshow and about "I want to be a pirate and have a shag", and then him and Ricky mention Jim'll Fix It and say "it was like those letters to Jim'll Fix It to meet 5 Star and if something happens then so be it"..... if they knew back then what they were joking about was oh so true....
listening to ricky fail to think of builders for so long was painful, swear he aint done a days work in his life lol. im not even a builder and its the first thing i thought of
definitely not the song, although I thought that for a second as well. Definitely not Ricky. It's actually creepy to think that's Kárl. Though, it's only season one. He wasn't quite as disillusioned back then.
Coming back around to this episode for the 10th time and remembering what Karl thought dog eat dog was actually about! X´D @41:52 ¨Confended and Confused!¨ :D Thank you Man Moth for your efforts, they are well appreciated! ^^ Long live the Holy Trinity of Comedy Gold! \m/ ♥ \m/
Karl: "Because bricks don't fall in wars", hmm, I swear bombs have been around for a while, and I dunno if you've tried it, but bombing a house - well, the bricks just can't take it. They need to evolve.
Karl was right to be confused by Ricky's ball selection question. 3 is not the minimum, it's the maximum. Because you might get 2 the same colour on the first try, making 2 the minimum.
@@Adelehalsall Actually I was wrong about this, because he's saying the minimum number to *ensure* you have 2 the same colour. In which case 3 is correct. He doesn't really give enough detail for clarity, but I assume he means there are 10 black and 10 white mixed up in a single bag, and you are picking blindfolded. You might get 2 the same colour from your first 2 picks. But you might not, in which case you now have 1 white and 1 black. But on the 3rd try you will either pick a white or a black, and be guaranteed to now have 2 of the same colour. Classic Ricky, just like the heaven and hell scenario or the mirror on the moon -- sometimes he's as frustratingly vague as Karl!
Hearing Karl cheering and celebrating always makes me smile 😂
0fp❤
"Karl has won!!!" A classic moment.
I have a friend who it's hard to make laugh out loud but when I can it's a very good feeling
That display of unadulterated joy from Karl getting one on Ricky may be my favourite moment in the series 😂
I've been ill lately and these have been my medication. I've listened for 23 years since day dot, as Karl would say - but lately - they are my saviour ❤
They are good for the soul
I find it so funny how people still listen arguably more people who were listening live
Karl screaming out at 37:10 sounds like his most triumphant moment in life. love it
Haha and the transition into the song is perfect.
It’s brilliant hearing Karl that passionate
I know, so so cute. In every other version of that track he's muted out much sooner, I LOVE him cheering. That guy's brought me so many hours, weeks, months and YEARS of happiness.
Karl sounds like Chief Brody just after he shot Jaws 😀
Possibly my favourite moment of all the shows 😂
Two of the best lead ins to songs in this episode. "Karl has won" into Dope Nose and "i'm not gay" into Karma Police. Both great moments
So was Steves "id like to sleep with a woman" into Rock The Kasbah"
"And I don't like lying" 😂😂
37:15 - have never heard Karl so animated, it was a thing of beauty 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
The highlight of his life haha.
I love the 'Karl has won' moment. Best of the entire run of shows 😂
37:05

Steve has a better understanding of loyalty than Ricky, who is always turning Steve and Karl against each other and stirring the pot.
I wish it was on video
"Are there any blind women living on their own?"
I love Steves creepy sad persona, it's quite funny and he fully embraces it. What makes it even better is that you know its somewhat genuine.

Man Moth, thank you for helping us all through the self-isolation/quarantine. 🥳🙂👍🏻
7 months later, back for the umpteenth time.🥳👍🏻
48:40 is one of my favorite links of this whole show. I want a full cut of it followed by the song. For some reason it just fits.
I saw an old man carring a Twix yesterday. I have still to see one eat it. 😂
Still never seen it, although I did once see an old man sat on a park bench eating pringles.
Probably for his grandson, he stuck to his old man toffees in the end

About that shark thingy, you could say that it was a very shallow pool, so shallow that the sharks couldn't swim around

Steve's memory of Fantasy Island is being mashed together with The Love Boat, which was on at the same time and on the same network.
mine is. and I've never even seen Fantasy Island. I'm not even sure why the fuck I watched the Love Boat...
Fantasy Island n the Love Boat Gislane n Jeffery liked these shows.
God, another one of the immortal episodes. Man Moth, I reckon it could be either "Percy Sugden: Licensed T' Kill" or "I Was Lying About the Sharks".
The lighthouse keeper had been painting that day. Extra shattered.
