Thought it was absolutely excellent myself. Couple of gags I was still laughing at five minutes after everybody else was over it.
The Ricky Gervais show is on channel 4 now. The animation of the famous podcasts that Ricky, Steve Merchant and Karl Pilkington did. Karl is a legend.
Hes appearing as David Brent in a cameo appearnce in the office next week. Brent meets Scott. :lol:
Attn Shan, ClarkeyCat, WTB and other Gervais fansā¦
Have ye seen the Ricky Gervais show? I watched an episode last week on 4oD and itās quality stuff, well worth a watch. Gervais and Stephen Merchant basically rip the piss out of Karl Pilkington of āAn Idiot Abroadā fame for the entire show. Hereās a link to the episode i watched. I believe the next episode will be available online tomorrow evening.
Thereās at least a hundred similar podcasts on youtube. Some of them are outstanding.
You should check these ones out as there are animations with them that really make it. Second episode is actually available as wellā¦
The ones dunph is on about are the same ones that they orginallly put out for free through the guardian a good few years ago. Heās right though I think the animation adds to them.
You should download the whole lot of them off itunes if you like them though dunph. Great way to pass the time in the car or while youāre out running the roads. serious shite talking. Good few running gags in them too that youād get better if ya listen to the whole lot.
Very hard to know how much of Pilkingtonās act is put on too though.
Iād hope alot of it is put on because if heās actually that dim he belongs in some kind of institution or science lab. Funny stuff regardlessā¦
Definitely a bit forced alright. The hostage negotiation is one of the funniest things Iāve heard though.
Not that much either though Iād say. A lot of his ridiculous theories that the lads pull the complete piss out of actually make a bit of sense when ya think about them. Kind of shit ya might come up with if you were stoned. Iād say he really is how he appears as an unbelievably dour kind of a cunt and comes out with all that moany shite. I donāt even reckon the boys are that good writers to have come up with him.
Kind of annoying when they force it though, and itās easy enough spot after listening to a lot of it.
Do ya mean the hostage negotiation on idiot abroad? Thatās actually one of the things I thought was totally forced! Not a chance he believed he was really being kidnapped.
All downloaded so far by me and all of the entire Ricky/Steve/Karl podcasts and old Xfm shows. The early stuff is the best.
Hey, The Dunph. I listened to a couple of the podcasts alright and have seen one of the animated. Quite good. I like An Idiot Abroad also.
I knew youād enjoy them, my friend.
Neil makes me laugh though, because, you know, itās his interfering, itās his timing. Going on about he wants some report doing-itās red nose day, you know. Ooh, whatās more important, you Neil, with your report, or some starving children? Ooh I donāt know. Ooh what would Lenny Henry say? I think we know-imagine him going out of the door on comic relief day and Dawn French is going āWhere you going, you havenāt done the washing up. You havenāt put the rubbish out.ā 'Do it yourself Iāve gotta save some Africans!
