The monkey DID go to space, there WAS a dispenser, but as usual Karl got 90% of the facts wrong. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ham_(chimpanzee)

[@elliotthyde5623]

It gets so good. So glad your doing this. Karl has a great sense of no filter sense of humour. I think it was hanna barberra that did the cartoon work. Don’t worry about Karl. Possibly sometime you’ll get to Karl vs steve the insults. Trust me Karl does more than look after himself

[@TheOrlandoTrustfull]

I can't fully explain how happy I am that you are starting this. These 3 are gold together.

i watched a few youtubers playing these guys,never get sick of them.

[@vanbalzup6481]

I don’t think people understand the significance of this podcast. 1. It was the biggest podcast in the world at one point. It was the JRE of it’s day. 2. People still religiously listen to every single podcast and XFM radio show, on repeat for the past 20 years. Let that sink in…. That’s like people relistening to every single JRE podcast, on repeat for 20 years. Does anyone even do that? I would guess that these 3 are the most played podcast / radio in all history. We are still here today. I’ve listened to every single radio episode atleast 10 times over each, and it’s impossible to get sick of it.

[@Reiggn_]

Brit here! When it seems like theyre being harsh on Karl msking fun of him, most of it is just heavy banter, this is how friends show true affection over here xD

[@blackie75]

The podcast wasn't filmed at all, so using footage wasn't possible. They later decided to chop out the best parts of the pod and cut them into a series and animate it for television, so the mock-up studio walk-in was filmed later for the intro.

[@annother3350]

its weird as some of them were actually recreated!

[@blackie75]

@@annother3350 If they were that's the first I've ever heard and the audio from the series is the exact match to the original pod. I'm not even sure how you'd do that really as it would have to be scripted and it just wouldn't sound right.

[@annother3350]

@@blackie75 I've heard them talk about the same stories on XFM but some of them are ever so slightly different so I remember thinking 'thats weird, they must have recreated some of them but tried to make them sound genuine!'

[@blackie75]

@@annother3350 The clips from the Ricky Gervais show are not taken from the XFM radio show, they're take from the later podcast that the three made after XFM. Ricky and Steve remembered a lot of the funnier stories that Karl had told, so they made a point to bring them up in the podcast, that's why you hear some of the same stories. It was that podcast which was later chopped up and turned into the Ricky Gervais Show.

[@reggie933]

One of the best shows of all time, each season just gets better. Its almost as good as their radio show podcast. (Xfm)

[@bydavidmitchell]

The Ricky Gervais show is absolute gold. There are some episodes that leave you hurting from laughter. I reckon I've watched the entire show a good few times now. Ricky and Stephen do give Karl a hard time for the most part, but it works and Karl often gives as good as he gets. I hope you continue to react to this show, it's a classic. Enjoy, and thanks, as always, for all the hard work.

[@scottcrosby-art5490]

This was my comfort show for years

[@TranceClassicsOfficial]

I'm glad to see you guys are going down the Karl Pilkington rabbit hole! Looking forward to going on this journey once again with another reaction channel 😊

[@curt.parkhill]

As a Mancunian myself, everyone has a Karl Pilkington in their life, but it's just that no one had a Steven Merchant or Ricky Gervais in their life to get them on radio & TV. He's an absolute gem.

[@samhilton4173]

Im from Manchester too (Middleton), and Karl reminds me of literally half of the people I knew growing up. Only he's probably smarter and more motivated lol

[@davidjb-750]

Same here (Trafford) . My Nana lived on the same estate as Karl. Sadly I don’t remember seeing any horses inside houses or a jogger with his balls out. I did go to Twiggy’s Dance Club a few times when they weren’t having toilets rolls delivered 😊

[@trevorhope8447]

Karl has a way of saying something that makes you say he's insane...then a minute later, you start to think that he has a point.

[@ghostparty2062]

It's funny because Ricky and Steve will often brush off Karls thoughts straight away, and I'm sat there like "No no, he's got a point" 😂

[@DavidUKesb]

That's because he's a genius.

[@steddie4514]

Same! 😂

[@Harrison5ived]

YES!! This show is absolute GOLD! And Jess don't worry about Ricky and Stephen 'ganging up' on Karl. Yes they roast him and it sounds brutal, but you must have noticed he's never offended or even put off by it. The more they laugh and poke fun, the more Karl just keeps going with his crazy theories and stories. That's what makes this show so good - two people with a 'conventional' world view becoming more and more astonished and exasperated by the outlandish way Karl sees things.

[@russelllapua4904]

God, I can't wait until you get to him doing his diary. It's just absurdly hilarious.

[@wurble]

Ricky, Steve and Karl pretty much started off the podcast phenomenon with these shows which are almost 20 years old now. An awful lot is chopped out too, so the originals are well worth checking out. When I listened to them back in the day I always thought they'd work great with some animation. The animators absolutely nailed it and I'd imagine illustrating these conversations was a lot of fun to do. I think these shows have aged brilliantly too, mainly because they tended to stay away from politics and current affairs.

[@steo-red408]

karl came up with the Benjamin Button idea before they made the movie, you've got lots to look forward to, especially karls diary from episode 7 😂

[@SwipeGameplay]

Karl vs Steven merchant insults compilation is also hilarious when you get around to viewing it. Its the origins of how they all met on the xfm radio show. Most of these clips came from the radio show but has been edited and animated for tv 😊

[@GaryWayneHill64]

When you have watched them all you WILL be left wishing there was more. You are in for a treat.

[@garybarnett2756]

I love the way Karl never raises his voice and is so laid back he’s almost horizontal.

[@LilMonkeyFella87]

This was originally a podcast that they did did together after they finished up doing the XFM radio show together, which is a small London based radio station. They later went onto do a few specials and audiobooks which became the source material for series 3

[@mozzyquodo5532]

You have no idea how awesome things are going to become, enjoy folks!

[@CommissionerSleer]

The animation in this is brilliant. Don't let the Hannah-Barbarah style fool you. It's so detailed and obviously a labour of love. Sure, it would be nice to see their real faces but this animation is worth it.

(don't forget "Meet Karl Pilkington 2") ..this was the beginning.. Thank God, Ricky decided to put him in front of a mic/camera, when he was just the producer .. This will be getting better and better.. this was kind of a "pilot"..Karl was always very dedicated with the things Ricky told him to do, like "the monkey news" and so on.. wait until his diary come into spot.. This will gonna be awesome! Karl is the most unintentional funny guy ever !

Karl was loosely known as Ricky and Steves Producer when they did a Radio Show in 2001, Karl slowly got some on air time when Ricky would ask him some random Questions on air. Over the next few years Karl got more and more airtime as Ricky became fascinated by Karls take on things, which by 2005 evolved into a weekly podcast with the 3 of them, which made the Guinness Book of World Records as the Most Downloaded Podcast in 2006. The shows have a Cult following as they are one of the earliest Podcasts and i'm sure influenced a lot of Podcasters you see Today.
