Karl Pilkington - Firemen

The Ricky Gervais Show - Karl Pilkington on Monkey News

[@HeyLaserLips]

I just love the way Karl is either completely oblivious too, or totally ignores all the flaws brought up by Stephen and Ricky, and carries on like nothing has been said, right to the bitter end. xD

[@flynnlivescmd]

Yeeeeears of being with these fellahs. He knows the laughing will end soon and interest will come back.

[@33hegemon]

The animation when he says grippage is superb

[@VLAD_P_]

and ricky's chocking little laugh is brilliant in that bit :)

[@UncLester]

As an American I don't understand why they are picking on Karl this time. That is standard fire fighting procedure if your ladders are too short.

[@TheClassicWorld]

Well, it is America. ;)

rbeck3200tb40 no we just couldn't care less 😜

[@woodsy5081]

UncLester as a brit we have hoses that reach floor 100 and long ladders

[@NonsensicalSpudz]

aren't they phasing out short ladders now? most likely due to buildings having more grippage

[@cartmanofsp]

Grippage is probably one of my favourite words

[@Natashahoneypot]

It's like one of those dreams where when you're dreaming it it makes perfect logical sense. Yet when you wake up and tell people it all falls apart in your mind.

[@ManAboutTown1000]

Grippage could be the greatest word ever to be made up on the fly.

[@ACinDorset]

Foodage is another classic.

[@ilovevar9454]

Squrm is up there aswell.

[@VolatileVariable]

Congress tart is another

[@cannonfodder4000]

What about havin your head squoze?

[@DaGleese]

Well that's firefighters under pressure for you!

[@JimmyColls]

Karl's seeming total confidence in the bullshit stories he reads gets me every time.

[@chuckyoofarley]

The thing that cracks me up about these animations is Stephen's caricature. It's the way he looks sideways out of his glasses while he's nattering and the animators have got his eyes spot on.

“I have a stumpy knob. I have no shaft to speak of. No grippage.”

[@TheRuddster95]

Amazing hahhaa

[@TheRuddster95]

"I have got a stumpy knob."

[@tomcorbett9803]

For me The Ricky Gervais show is brilliant because I had heard all the material before but the animations still make it worth hearing again. Which is arguably harder to do than getting 'new' viewers so to speak.

[@antv6419]

Get the ladders while you’re there. No time! 😂😂

[@Paul91-]

Grippage and Foodage have got to be the two greatest words invented by Mr Pilkington.

[@krognak]

Whenever the day/week has got me down, this is THE number one podcast I listen to, to cheer me up. NEVER FAILS. I'm always in tears in minutes!

Remember these guys are all friends. So just like you'd call your friends stupid, they call Carl stupid. They're just joking about.

[@Highlander1518]

"There's a lot of like, grippage" - I've never laughed so hard in a long time.

[@vividhkothari1]

Instant pain-relief Ricky and Karl's voices! As soon as I heard "Karl" from Ricky's mouth, my pain went away.

[@itskidstime1063]

1:10 hilarious moment. nonchalant introduction of monkey as if it was just like the first option they could think of

[@MountainManGaming]

PAHAHAHAHA The little animation of the little ladder! xD

[@kiazalea]

Why did Steve say NYPD firemen? The new york police department has firemen now?

[@barringtonfisher87]

kiazalea Yeah. it's a spin off

[@badfox5651]

Thunder Winkle he's definitely above average

[@ovaloctopus8]

Thunder Winkle average is pretty low tbf. Karl is probably slightly above average

[@jackbox1971]

I actually like that they leave those little gaffes in... it adds a certain element of spontaneity which you don't usually get in a cartoon.

[@xJohnnyBloodx]

i want someone to make a compilation of every time karl mentions an outside source like the news or an article, alongside an example of where he got that information from.

[@RyanNorrington]

The NYPD fire department... Well done Steve

[@2PacStoleMyBike]

Oh no we brought the small ladders *Camera pans over to 3 step ladder* I'm dead lmaooo

[@truthsmiles]

I agree with all the commenters who say Ricky saying “NYPD firemen” is the most problematic thing about this conversation. Everything else was perfectly reasonable and plausible.

[@tranidite]

But that shit ruined his own condescending attitude because he didn't even know PD means police which is weird considering I thought the UK has PD's, it's like mocking a creationist then saying humans lived in the cretaceous period, after that you literally can't recover. Also apparently another comment thread has pics of the actual apes that did this shit so it did happen apparently.

[@MultiLiam5]

Steve is absoutely on form in this one!

[@ScottXC91]

Why are you all freaking out about Steve saying "NYPD Firemen?" He's British, why would he know the correct name of the FDNY?

[@tranidite]

Because it's basic English acronyms? I mean PD is pretty common in most English countries for Police departments last time I checked. Unless it's PS in England.

[@351yt]

Karl's best story ever

[@Clarkkent163]

Just realised something here, every time they show the characters such as for example the firemen, whenever Karl, or Ricky or Steven speak, they always speak as well. Like they're narrating or some shit, it's funny as fuck xD... I died when karl said "there's a lot of grippige" and at the same time the fireman did the clenching with his hands while making a dumb facial expression xD

[@Mack35531]

[@thombob1]

I like the single bollok at the end.

[@hezekiahramirez6965]

I agree. I don't see them intentionally not bringing long ladders to give the monkeys exercise even if they do use them, which I have heard of. I'm from the States too.

[@heavylistener]

0:54 was just brilliant

[@yoransom]

The irony is in a lot of these conversations Ricky and Stevan come out looking dumber....of course a chimp could carry a human. They are like 10 times stronger than us.

[@GeneralCane]

When did anyone in this story mention anything about a chimp?

[@avosmash2121]

Well they could at least carry a child or small elderly person. Dunno about most full grown men or larger fatter people.

[@karatepirus]

Love how the cartoon bloke says "Floor 100....or whatever"

[@andrewwigham7820]

haha never mind foretting the long ladders, presumambly the people in the building got up there somehow so there has to be stairs somewhere haha. i love it, do people just e-mail him anything and see if he believes it? what a legend

I'm from America, and I can tell you that it absolutely is NYPD policy to use monkeys whenever they forget the long ladders. In fact, they often intentionally leave them behind to give the monkeys exercise.
