'Eyes that pop out of their head... Steve' has to be one of the best lines in podcasting history.

[@Knob-Oddy-likes-me]

Thats from the radio show isn't it? Somewhere during series 3 or late series 2. When monkey news was at its hight

[@SanxBile]

You've got a ruler Rick?

[@jgooner894]

@@Knob-Oddy-likes-me What’s the timeline of the show? I’m confused on the formats, when they started it was xfm which is called the The Ricky Gervais show right? When they talk about xfm on the cartoon they talk of it as before that show so did they bring the podcast somewhere else at some point? Is there 2-3 versions of the podcast on different channels or did the series start on xfm and then they moved away from that and finished it outside of xfm?

[@Drewitall54]

@@jgooner894 they met at xfm and did 3 series worth of the Ricky Gervais show as a radio show, then after Karl left xfm they got together and did 5 series of the podcasts

[@MichaelLeightonsKarlyPilkboys]

@@jgooner894 They started on the XFM radio show and did 5 seasons (1 with just Ricky and Steve in 1998, the next 4 with Karl from 2001-2005). This was called 'The Ricky Gervais Show on XFM'. They then did the podcasts to have a bit more control over what they produced (could swear more, no ad breaks etc) which ran in various formats sporadically from 2005-2010. This was called 'The Ricky Gervais Show Podcast'. The podcasts were then turned into the HBO cartoon that was also called 'The Ricky Gervais Show'. None of the cartoon was of the XFM radio show though. That's why the XFM radio shows (which IMO are the funniest content because it's less 'planned' and more genuine) are only available in audio form. That's why I'm trying to animate them myself, so that people have visual content to go with it. I'm not a professional animator though so my animations are a bit amateur looking.

Ricky is that friend who SOUNDS like he’s defending you but he’s stirring up shit, “you’re not gonna let them do that to _YOU_ , eh?? 😏 “

[@JackeryPumpkin]

@L4fty because Steve is always trying to be funny with his insults. Karl is trying to hurt Steve

Steve's glasses touching his eyes is my favorite part. I don't think I've ever seen you cry! Hahaha

dude. I've been listening to these old Ricky Gervais shows for 10 years, to see them on here now.. so much fun.. especially when they laugh like that at stuff I always laughed my ass off too

[@cubeh8331]

Asian gentlemen? lul

[@davidgraham8058]

My favourite thing is even in the first 2 minutes Ricky and Steve are constantly insulting Karl, but the funniest thing is the first thing he says! He's a complete genius.

[@manicstreetpreacher200]

@ Cubeh, that sentence baffled me too.😂

Been falling asleep to them for years at this point!

Mick from Australia boys. I havent laughed that hard in a long time. Please never stop listening to Ricky Steve and Karl. Im going to have a lie down now because my stomach is so sore.

[@traviche7207]

15:05 is the funniest reaction I've ever seen from these guys. I've rewatched it at least 5 times so far, lol.

[@Bj-re4wt]

[@rhysdrakefordbennett6818]

My jaws hurting from laughing so much, can't wait for the rest of the Insults 😂😂 absolutely brilliant notification to end the night with

[@saintsataniko2116]

I like that it's Ricky who always says the most brutal things about Karl but then Karl always turns to attack Steve. Also Karl actually suggests that Steve is the "weak link" in their trio, when Steve literally co-wrote The Office and Extras , two of the funniest shows of all time.

[@nickya9257]

I think he goes after Steve because Steve is being a follower when mocking him.

[@saintsataniko2116]

@@nickya9257 I dunno if he's that calculated. Steve actually tries to be gentle but he also understands the premise of the show is that Karl's POV is utterly bizarre. While Ricky just calls Karl a little, round-headed twat.

[@andrew348]

@@saintsataniko2116 If you listen to 100s of hours of their radio show, Steve actually does pile on after Ricky is insulting Karl and then hides behind Ricky. I think that probably irritates Karl that Steve has to hide behind Ricky.

[@saintsataniko2116]

@@andrew348 NICE TRY mate, but I was listening to the radio show and downloading their podcast on iTunes going back to the early 2000's. I know that Steve pokes at Karl at the behest of Ricky, but Steve's nature is clearly not that of a bully. Ricky revels in being a bully. Nevertheless Karl would rather go in on Steve than Ricky.

[@FrancoisDressler]

Steve is the funniest

[@weekendwarriorprospecting817]

I'd love to bump into Rondo and remind him about the time that Steve's glasses touched his eyes. 😂 he took ages to settle down after that one. I think Francis Nganou recovered quicker after the Joshua fight 🤣🤣

[@davidgraham8058]

The name '15 Taiwan' is based on a former UK TV quiz show called '15 to 1', where 15 contestants take part and get eliminated until the winner is found.

[@souldreamer9056]

In terms of greatness, the pecking order goes like this: 1. The XFM shows are the best. They are spontaneous, unedited, and unfiltered. Comedy gold. 2. The Podcasts are also good, but they are edited and thus not as not as raw and free-form as the XFM shows. Comedy silver. 3. Finally, the HBO cartoon uses the conversations from the Podcasts, but they are further edited down to fit into a ~20 minute episode, and thus many great bits are missing. Comedy Bronze.
