"Do We Need 'Em" - XFM Compilation

A pilkopedia user by the name of sheb put this compilation together so for every like this video gets, I'll feed him another tiny Japanese bowl of rice so he doesn't starve in my attic. You don't want sheb to starve...do you?

"Aren't you glad you picked up the phone today?" *Long pause*

"Do we need humans?!!" "Well I don't know, we might get on to that, i'm just trying to sort the Animals out first, i've got a lot on!". Brilliant.

karl: when Suzannez working.. I'm not a very good cook, I just get an Indian in steve: what, to do the cooking for you? hahahaha

[@Newbtrons]

I like how he just gives up

[@martinparidon9056]

That's these Pilkington way

[@paranoidandroid447]

Honestly this was my favourite feature from the xfm shows. Shame they only did it a few times. Absolute gold.

[@scottlucas2225]

paranoidandroid447 agreed. Karl at his best. They definetly missed a trick by not doing a feature called 'Whats Art about that?' aswell

[@KotaonPC]

But do we need em?

[@tomoliver4632]

What have they done though?

[@djchristoft1415]

"sick of seeing these limpets lying about"

[@SunnyGlade]

"Mad world though innit"

[@keropekerope]

I love it when the second guy stays silent after Karl says "Glad you answered the phone today?" Hilarious.

[@lanksey1606]

“Might have a bit of a knock on effect, things like turtles eat jellyfish” “Yeah but do we need turtles” Looool

[@FranMSK]

Those experts were thoroughly unimpressed with Pilkington.

[@sts-31]

+FranBMan Can't really blame them.

[@SkyliCyrus]

FranBMan dont hate on karl

[@Crunch_Buttsteak]

FranBMan Karl's intellect was too high for them.

[@KotaonPC]

I love that they entertained his nonsense

[@tomoliver4632]

Err Ya cud take all the humans off the earth and it would carry on.. but take like some animals off it and mammals and that ya got problems on ya hands

[@Rex_The_Mouse]

I love how Karl's annoyed and irritated by animals but super open to other people's perspective

[@Pilkie101]

To attempt to completely wipe out jellyfish would be an undertaking that would dwarf the apollo missions in magnitude, and even with every resource available it would be next to impossible to achieve the objective. He wants this to be done because they don't do anything. I love Karl Pilkington.

[@tomoliver4632]

His argument is strong though you get sick of seeing them crawling about opening jam jars n that Wipe em out.

[@thesprawl2361]

@@tomoliver4632 I was with him on jellyfish - they're a fucking nightmare(by which I mean they occasionally bother me very slightly when I'm on the beach). But octopuses...I've never seen an octopus in the wild in my entire life. I think he just got octopuses and jellyfish mixed up in his mind a bit.

[@BoStanfordify]

I love how confused the snail guy is when Karl tells him that everyone is waiting for him to make a decision to eliminate all snails and he is holding them up

[@jameswhitehorn6432]

He’s a good looking bloke, so you’re happy an’ that 🤣

[@thesprawl2361]

"so the octopus gets out of its cage at night" Karl, never change

[@TheBestUserEU]

These are great, Karl interacting with real people

[@adamlarge9123]

I've been convinced for years and years that the snail bloke is Ricky putting on a voice. Same speech patterns and the odd word is very Reading.

[@drzeus99]

I believe it was indeed Ricky, but Karl's too daft to realize it.

[@tonyr2365]

There's no way it was Ricky, he couldn't have not laughed at the beer line, or when Karl said only the "tired" snails can sleep for up to 13 years. I don't really think it sounds like him either way.

[@MrPKenneally]

Mitch Robinson It might seem that way to non-Brits. I don't think he sounds like him either

[@JD-Media]

It's definitely not him.

[@str8904]

There's no way Ricky wouldn't have laughed. It's not him.

Nope

What did these poor people think they were doing lol

[@purplecrown505]

2:54 I don't know what's funnier, the idea that Karl thought scorpions look after monkeys, or that he confused a monkey with a lizard 😂

[@KialraOfDeath]

Thanks a lot for these compilations

[@jakehixon4073]

You discovered this 8 years ago. I’m late to the party!

[@HarryMoore1998]

Yay I watched the others about three times now so thanks for the new one ! :)

[@Dilkingt0nne]

I was on the exact same page as Steve at first when he said the one lad "owned a fish shop" haha

[@JD-Media]

Saying she could repopulate with Noah XD

[@OrchidEleven]

"yeah but do we need em"

[@FrozenSurf]

I guess he means 18 joints, 6 legs, each bend in 3 ways.

[@keith_pictures]

This is one of the most brilliant segments in all of podcast history. Needs to be brought back

[@thesprawl2361]

It was on a radio show not a podcast FYI

[@dshishod]

Karl is awfully like Thanos🤔🤔 ‘do we need em’ *clicks fingers*

[@Dilkingt0nne]

I'm gonna take issue with this assertion that octopus are rare and "you only get two or three caught a year" based solely on the menu of most tapas restaurants........

[@thesprawl2361]

I'd take issue with the idea that octopuses are kept in 'cages'.

[@martinparidon9056]

And I'm still coming back to this shit.

[@oily4545]

I love that Karl is just dying for the person he’s speaking to to say “Yeah u know what, let’s get rid of em”

[@martinparidon9056]

Limpets, they could go

[@lllllllllllllpplp]

Fair enough they are not literal knees. I was merely referring to the tarsus. the coxa and finally trochanter. Which all act in similar, but by no means the same, way as a human knee.

[@brucewayne2184]

They drink beer and that.

[@dvpuk]

I wish they made this… honestly think it would have been bigger than the office

[@sebastianunited1397]

Does anybody else think that the snail guy sounds slightly like Gervais ?

[@HorizontalLifestyle]

Nice one dude.

[@TheKyroOf92]

Yess.

[@danedooney1998]

Love it

[@iamtherealrenedescartes]

They don't. The reason is because when we refer to "knees", we are referring to a specific type of joint; that joint is called the femoral-tibial joint in which the cockroach only has one but this joint on the cockroach has very little meaning in relation to vertebrate knees. Now, if you ask how many joints cockroaches have, then there are five, plus the joints between the segments of the tarsi (tarsomeres) in which there is also 5. So 10 would be the answer.

[@nanananan6501]

None of the sea animals went on Noah's arch. Why would you take them out of the water and put them in an aquarium?

[@mikekoz68]

Zeus works in mysterious ways.

Why is he talking in a deeper voice! Lol

[@HarryMoore1998]

dat description...

[@Marco-bc4qh]

It’s obvious that the snail scientist is Ricky Gervais. Still amazing listening

[@shrimpanzee001]

Having watched/listened to hundreds of hours of him I think Ricky doesn't possess the voice acting skills to do such a subtly off way of inflecting, and if was trying to disguise himself he'd probably have done a different accent to the one he already has. He's a good actor but not a particularly good impersonator and it would have been obvious if it was him

[@jakehixon4073]

Rubbish.

[@TheTaterTotP80]

I agree with him about it being cruel to put the crabs in the jar for the Octopus to get. It's also cruel to keep them in captivity any creature, that isn't happy/consenting to stay there. And I don't get what that woman means by "even a cockroach". They're living beings like any other and equal as such.
