‘Eyes that pop out of their head…Steve’ that delivery is perfect.

[@ascky1]

Ricky just winding it up in the background is just the best

[@aaronmicalowe]

Ricky isn't immune when people have a go at his cat. That's when he loses it and Karl knows exactly where that button is.

[@nancydavies6446]

I listened to these so many times yet still hilarious and i love seeing others enjoy the carnage of these 3 men 🤣🤣🤣

[@angelavara4097]

Imagine having a night at the pub with these 3 it would be hilarious.

[@DDoig1]

I just found this channel and I didn't know if I would like this video but you have a good laugh. It was nice to watch.

[@MichaelLeightonsKarlyPilkboys]

As another user mentioned, these are from the XFM radio show. As they have no official animation, I've animated some clips from the radio show myself - they're a little basic but give some visual content to go along with it if you're interested!

[@fractal_mind562]

I had this idea a long time ago ! To animate the radio shows but I know nothing of animation, just knew it would be amazing to have as I think the radio shows are better than the podcasts ! Didn't know someone had done it ! You need way more subs for this man !!

[@sargonsblackgrandfather2072]

What makes me laugh is at the beginning of the show Karl was the punching bag but by the end of it it was Steve who used to dread getting the piss ripped out of him.

[@karencalder8540]

Karl is to be protected at all costs. Hes hilarious. Ricky's laugh is infectious.

[@BunniMonster]

Looking at the description I'll offer a correction: The podcasts were never on XFM. The XFM show was a live broadcast, held to all the same broadcasting rules as any other show on a Saturday afternoon. After they left XFM they started making the podcasts which years later were edited into the cartoon. The cartoon/podcasts have no XFM audio at all.

[@KingBoomer]

Thank you

[@BunniMonster]

@hairlylarry Not quite but almost. I've listened to every XFM show and podcast episode a hundred times each over the years myself. There isn't even a second of audio from XFM in the cartoons as unlike the podcasts and audiobooks the copyright to the XFM show isn't held by Ricky and couldn't legally be used, as well as all the recordings being fan-made with no official high quality XFM desk audio surviving. They did retread a few old subjects from the XFM days on the podcasts though, with a few of the segments being almost word for word retellings of a few stories for the new audience though which has thrown a lot of people off so I'm guessing you are referring to those same confusing segments. Thanks for the channel recommendation by the way, you just gave me a whole new catalogue to binge 👍

man this is a hilarious reaction ty

[@marilynseptember21]

Wonder if you reacted to the Oscars.. Glad I am black British, we can take a joke here. Americans seem to be something else - Thinking about Micky Flanagan complain in his stand up that he had to return to UK.

[@annemariefleming]

Steve has a thing about his appearance...he looks like a pink giraffe with glasses, according to someone he has never named, lol!

[@steo-red408]

Great reaction man, you need to watch the one with the men in black 2 reference, it's the funniest one of them all 🤣 and another hilarious one is the derek outtakes video, derek is a series that ricky wrote and also stars Karl in season one, his the outtakes are hilarious

[@jaybatty2728]

Karl is a national treasure 😂

[@jazzvec]

a global treasure (I am listening in Slovakia).

[@Alberthoward3right9up]

Whoa did I pick the wrong video to watch. I have sore ribs 🤦🏼‍♂️😂😂. Ouchy lol

[@lrye-xyz]

Ricky Gervais was once the biggest podcast in the world. This podcast made podcasts what we know today. From 2006!

[@Chimponaut]

I don't think Steve is actually upset, he and Ricky regularly joked about his looks during the xfm radio shows. If you've not listened to them they are all available (it's not the podcast), they show more of Karl's real character than the edited podcasts etc, him joking with them and laughing along and so on.

[@dylanmurphy9389]

I reckon Steve is quite insecure whereas Ricky & Karl don't care about being insulted

[@randomkiliinterviews9453]

I love these 3 . They're such a perfect combination. Steve bringing the posh charm and wit, Ricky is rough and outrageous, and KP has this kind of cute naive common sense approach and bluntness about him. And they're all connected by a big heart :)

[@jb-nn8sk]

Steve is not posh

[@mrk.dilkington]

Ricky in full on Peacock mode..

[@nottsninja79]

Head like a fookin orange 🤣🤣

[@fractal_mind562]

I have every episode of the radio show and podcasts on my phone, you can download them easy and they're a great listen ! I've been listening to them for about 13 years... xFm show is between 2001 and 2005 I think and then the podcasts are later. Everything you heard in this video was from the radio shows and not the podcasts. They're about an hour long each and there isn't a bad "episode" among the 100+ shows they did !

[@Cyberdynepunk]

Great videos

[@CEP73]

Ricky is the king of all sh1t stirrers!!

[@donallmccrudden4812]

It would very dangerous while listening to Ricky and the lads while driving.

[@ndboulton]

When is the next one of these coming man!?

[@KingBoomer]

Soon

[@tylerbamford1893]

Majority of these are on Spotify great for when your driving

[@jonbolton3376]

All the XFM radio shows and podcasts are on youtube. The XFM shows in particular are hilarious, it's where most of these insults came from, except for the introduction.

[@alanwarren2861]

New subscriber here. If you get time, try looking at A Room With A View Fawlty Towers. It is only a 3 minute clip and John Cleese is hilarious.

[@nottsninja79]

I'm here ready 👍

[@elizabethlatham6248]

You should check out the xfm radio show episodes where they first met and worked with Karl. They are so good! I regularly listen to them

[@abstractnonsense3253]

_He's done you again_ Yes it's Ricky's way to instigate things further

[@kevingallagher406]

eyes that pop out of their head…steve it’s like karl knew he wanted to bring the conversation to steve but he just blurred out steve’s name there it’s so funny

[@emmafrench7219]

Brilliant! 😂😂😂😂

[@Ethanmiles.]

More please

[@sheilathompsett2570]

If you love Karl, then you need to watch An Idiot Abroad in China...he's hilarious.

[@Industrialist2015ofUk]

seems to be clips from Xfm and the podcasts!

[@bernard6255]

It's hard to roast ricky bcz he'll roast himself and be funnier, like steve martin in "Roxanne". Karl gets angry and fed up, while steve is easily wounded and emotionally fragile, so steve usually comes out of these exchanges feeling butt hurt.

[@YourNameHere1k]

To be fair to Steve he’s probably been bullied a lot because Karl is right he looks weird at 6ft7” with Googley eyes and glasses 😂.

[@craigwinfarrah]

Steve not upset it his dry sense of humour

[@allbies]

No, he is definitely upset.

[@craigwinfarrah]

@@allbies he not lol

[@Music.Movies.67]

Karl Pilkington does compare himself to Einstein, he came up with an ingenious idea of "Pilkos Khaki Pump Pants" Pants that contain an inflatable cushion. There is a video on KZbin of Karl trying to sell them on a shopping channel

[@Wagoo]

Karl's never needed mc².. but the fella who made the video recorder.. he watches one a week!

[@christinestromberg4057]

Ricky lights the blue touch paper and retires. To my shame I have done similar once or twice, throwing out a comment that I have no definite opinion of and letting others fight over it. But Ricky does it brilliantly. Oh and Effing and Jeffing is something that used to be said when I was young. Haven't heard it in ages.

[@82garethphillips]

This is a mix between the xfm radio show and the podcast .. you should check out the xfm show

[@watchreadplayretro]

Brutal is as Brutal does? :D Ohhhhh Karl, Karl, Karl!

[@mathewsmith1400]

Idiot abroad still one of my favourites. Poor Karl. Lol

[@sesh8863]

You gotta do all the Monkey news aswell

[@the1jxk]

Common Steve 50p really 😂

[@essexsouthend]

More karl pilkington!!

[@zoizr1131]

Watch the Ricky gervais show omg you'll love him

[@DrumL3000]

Karl is a Roastmaster

[@stephenjohnston1465]

Send Carl around the world TV crew and Steve and rik are I'm charge lol

[@PrdtRsic]

Thing is Karl is just so dry and matter of fact and says what he thinks, and THAT is the best humour. Saying what you think and facts is funny. It's kind of sad that it's like that because people think facts are outrageous but it's got to the point where facts are funny because truth is now funny. I mean I know what I'm trying to say haha.

[@FH5clips3]

Bald manc aha, I hope you’ve seen Ricky and Karl teach English

[@malcomflibbleghast8140]

the circumfrence of karls head....e=mcsquared

[@karlmeadows4986]

Karl had a real good salary in London 600k a year and he walked away because he wasn't happy, he does a lot of hands on charity work back in Manchester

[@Wagoo]

lol nothing NEAR 600k

[@pashwayar]

600k ffs 😂

[@louissanderson719]

What made you think he was on 600k a year? Especially near 20 years ago…

[@happyChappy96621]

He definitely wasn’t on 600K maybe 60-75K since he was one of the lead producers at XFM.

[@tmic4043]

Maybe for an idiot abroad

[@davidjb-750]

Only Ken winner here… the k man 😊

You should react to the Ricky Gervais cartoon it’s so good.

[@jezza9254]

Reaction inbetweeners

[@titanium3]

Have you seen "that Mitchel and Webb look" ? might be worth a look for you, its a great comedy!

[@kaijuk]

Honestly, I'm not a fan of Steve his insults go beyond, the one about Suzanne going through the bins?! Fucking unnecessary. Steve, and this is a fact...he thinks now he's earning big money he deserves a 10/10 bird, he's not going to find it EVER. Not just because of his shitty personality and thinking he's entitled to a model gf because he's loaded. Any decent bird won't stay around indefinitely for his personality it will be for his money only because his attitude is more ugly than his looks and I didn't think his persona could out-ugly his looks but it does and they probably add to his lack of good looks.

[@dapaintbrush6965]

WTF you on
