You used the wrong 'your' when calling someone else an idiot, I love your ironic sense of humour :D Ricky often uses a similar sense of humour, pretending not to understand things, so I like it, thumbs up!
"We've got to join BUPA" In the UK, we have the NHS. Everyone is entitled to the same level of care. I don't know if you're American, but it's like a far better version of Obama's proposed healthcare reforms. You break your arm, you go to the emergency room and get treated and that's it. Anyway. Organ donation is done on the NHS, so the situation Rik portrays is occurring within an NHS hospital. Karl, clearly disgusted that they're letting this occur, suggested to join private healthcare.
@Tom Oliver....concerning "fun at parties", I just feel obliged to point out that you just responded to a 6 years old comment there. Anyway, I liked that explanation, because I didn't have a clue what Bupa is and this really is, albeit roundabout, the sort of explanation that someone like me would want to find.
It’s akin to George Carlin he spelled out a scenario where kids and elderly are dying and traffic is at a standstill and an electric storm knocks out water electrify and all power and dysentery breaks out thousands start dying in the streets rape is the least of your worries you’d be gladly lining up to be beheaded And the proceeds to say: And pretty soon things are going to start to get out of control
Yeah, I've listened to almost everything they have done. I don't think it's scripted..msot of the time, when they bring up a story twice, they say "we've talked about this before". I think they probably decide what stories to bring up before, but the conversation itself doesn't seem to be scripted..I don't see how they could. but, I agree, it doesn't matter lol
This is from "Ricky Gervais Guide to,,," series with different subjects such as medicine, society etc which is basically them asking Karl questions very loosely based around the subjects and more of a chance for Ricky to see Karl and laugh. Very good series would recommend a download from Itunes. Incase you are referring to the Ricky Gervais Show, the guide to series was used but odds and ends are not in the shows, most of it isn't noteworthy however a few good moments which either missed it because they couldn't fit in the theme of the show or subjects like this which would of probably been too much for tv.
Well, some of it is scripted. I've heard them tell the same stories or make the same jokes on the XFM shows years and years ago and on the different forms of podcasts.
Ricky builds it up so much that the punch line had to be perfect, and it really was!
This is the maddest thing Ricky has ever said. Steve, Steve, I'm really scared, I don't know what to do.
zipher123 He said 'just say we've got to join BUPA'. BUPA is britain's leading private healthcare.
I can just imagine Karl sitting there with his mouth slightly open while he's listening to Ricky telling this story.
With his head slightly tilted.
Utterly gormless
I had to pull over when I was listening to this in the podcast for the first time a few years back, it made me laugh so much
where is he
Honestly, Steve's face on this picture describes this hypothetical scenario so well. Wtf Ricky, seriously, lol.
Genius lol they should of included this in the animated series
“Where is he?”
Just imagine a huge gay guy, chest hair, low haircut, earring on, sleeveless top and denim shorts going *"Where is he!?"*
"Fuck me, how can I get out of this?"
If someone can animate this, my life will be set.
bupa - they should use this in their ad campaign!
Thank you so much for this, he slurs the punchline and I hadn't been able to understand why ricky bursted with laughter :)

So go ooruuhh, he goes oeeorrr loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool that bit will never stop being funny

The NHS is good for emergencies but try having a long term illness and waiting 2 years for an appointment.

Tom Oliver he’s just accurately explained the joke Tom, what’s the issue?
@Tom Oliver people who are not from this country won't understand the punchline.
Sam Mortimer it is extremely rare to wait 6 months for treatment so your two years sounds made up or even rarer
Now this is the weird thing...

but, I agree, it doesn't matter lol
this had me in tears
this would've been funnier if Karl had written about this as a dream in his diary
surely they animate this
@englandscully i thought he said weve got a john booper wich is slang for blooper
Karl is an absolute genius.
After all that, 'we've got to join BUPA' - lol :)
Great visual imagery, thats locked and loaded in the wank bank. . . . . .
Rik: " e' gets it out of his system so he won't go out and do it".
OMG pissing myself!
The part nobody thought of: in this hypothetical world, Karl then has AIDS.
But you can’t catch AIDS... Not a trick is it; education... knowledge.
@@christopher9600 Oooh, you're 'ard...is it 'cause...?
This isn't on the podcast, is there any other bits not in it?

Cheers, I actually wasn't aware of the "guide to". Mental innit.
@englandscully He says: 'we gotta join BUPA' (health insurer in England)
What did Karl say at the end?
I Do Monologues we've gotta join bupa
Bupa, being a private health care company in the uk
I'm never going to donate organs just in case this shit happens to me - fuck that
I listened ... now my head hurts..... what was that all about? .....He is one seriously weird comedian....
lol so ridiculous its good
Dont give thumbs up to the fucking punchline!
We've gotta join BUPA.
lol, it's almost like a bizarre role reversal here, Ricky's talking utter shit to Karl. What's going on?
Well, some of it is scripted. I've heard them tell the same stories or make the same jokes on the XFM shows years and years ago and on the different forms of podcasts.
For non Brits, Bupa is a famous UK health insurance company.
