Ricky and Karl - Social Networking

Karl and Ricky have a chat about Facebook and Twitter.

[@thanks-jt8dp]

I love how Karl's greeting is always "alright"

[@tomdavies6256]

No matter what the situation is, it's always "Alright?" 😂😂

[@BaldMancTwat]

He also says that as goodbye.

[@placebodomingo3277]

Oight.

[@davidweber2143]

very common in Manchester

[@davidweber2143]

it's short for "are you alright?"

[@GARGANTUANMASKEDFISH]

Karl, a regular man who gets offered the big break of a lifetime by the BBC, goes onto BBC, tells the audience they could be doing far better than watching the BBC - and then keeps his job anyway. What a fucking hero.

[@AA-hg5fk]

He's right though, almost everything churned out by the BBC is rubbish.

[@ohshialabooof8958]

GO OUT!!!!...happy Christmas.

[@aintgonnahappen]

Karls face is so innocent looking..lol. Love that guy.

[@aintgonnahappen]

***** Not you Karl. Yours looks like a sour grape just went down and then cleansed with a hot beer...

[@ilikesaltines]

I wish SO much that Karl would use his twitter to voice his thoughts. I would never get sick of the little things he thinks of.

[@JakeZawmby]

AMEN.

[@Hassus]

@KPilkington It would be spiteful to put jellyfish in a trifle #getridofem

[@dnmcfall]

There is an account which offers daily quotes of his.

[@AshChirnMusic]

He sometimes replies to comments on his facebook page and the things he posts are exactly how he talks.

[@BaldMancTwat]

Ironically he does use Facebook even though in the video he says he doesn't even know what it is. If you send him an interesting enough video (About monkeys or freaks most likely) then he might reply to you, although it's usually just "mad innit" or something like that.

[@battlelux]

Karl’s a genius. A lot of people are described as being ahead of their time. Karl is behind his. Which is way better.

[@AA-hg5fk]

If not using social media makes me behind the times I'm gladly behind them.

[@BaldMancTwat]

@@AA-hg5fk You're consuming media right now on a social platform. The horror! Jokes aside, I get what you mean. It's best to stay anonymous on the internet and not go into the realms of the self-obsessed.

[@rhyscarter3939]

When Karl says "Happy Christmas", that's hilarious. what's great about Karl is that he doesn't even know he's funny, which is a fantastic quality to have. He'll never be affected by fame

[@skylerdrabing4323]

+Rhys Carter he knows that he's funny, it's more that his natural personality is just idiotically hilarious at times

[@christopherhakes7719]

+Rhys Carter Karl says "Happy Christmas." Ricky cracks up then Karl looks at him like he genuinely didn't realize what he said was hilarious.

[@TheKoxy1995]

He's not stupid, he realizes it. That is all part of his act

[@RiC_David]

This was the best indicator of Karl intentionally stifling a smile for the sake of the bit. He's not "playing a character", but he's playing up a persona - same way any comedian does and same way any regular person does when performing. If you listen to series one of the XFM Ricky Gervais Show, the difference between him being passively funny and pretty quickly learning to be actively funny is clear. He hadn't quite honed the little things, like trying not to laugh because it's funnier to play humour straight. He's not a comedian, he's just a person who's funny, and humour can still be intentional.

[@JazReviews]

Well no, he's very philosophical, he sees things and he thinks about them and how they could be improved and how the bullshit can be destroyed

[@salami99]

agreed man is fax machine frfr

[@galicians1]

100%, he is a bullshit destroyer, I admire him for that

[@mikhailman]

The bullshit man strikes again!

[@rot6662]

@@galicians1 he's bullshit man

[@rikathome2]

Love that surprised/slightly scared look Karl does whenever Ricky does a big laugh

[@1NavyLT]

Karl is hilarious! Their brotherhood chemistry is great, too. You can tell they are good friends. Karl cracks Ricky up almost every other sentence so you can tell Ricky loves knowing him. That, in and of itself, is funny to watch sometimes. Best of luck to them both.

[@Mightytufo]

The comedic timing is why I love listening to Karl. You'll never see it coming yet you know it's gonna happen

[@cuber9320]

Happy Christmas!😂

[@notnek12]

In human history, I doubt any non-comedian has been laughed at as much as Karl has. But he still seems to have kept his sanity.

[@premasru]

"The internet is like emptying a drawer out of a window" - Ricky Gervais

[@joewright9879]

I don’t lose any sleep over this, but I like to think that these two keep in touch with each other. Karl making Ricky laugh at the end made me think of my brother and I hanging out together.

[@guzzaroolz]

It's so annoying that Karl won't use Twitter because of all the celebrities I follow, he's the one I want to know most about what he's thinking and doing.

[@RhapsodyOfHammerfall]

Ricky has gotten better looking since he lost the weight and gained the facial hair.

[@sweetenoughtv288]

cool

[@jordanlyons5323]

+Terri Coverley Fuck off Terri! always in the way. You saucy slag.

[@PlayaP69]

Have you ever seen 20 y/o singer Ricky?

[@denadavey1470]

I think his teeth are sooo sexy! Not keen on the rest tho’ !

[@mybrainsondrums]

im convinced ricky's laugh could cure most major diseases. we need to start clinical trials

[@AA-hg5fk]

Ricky's loud, hyena-like laugh is awful when listening to the old Xfm shows on headphones

[@Lukecaseyshaw]

@@AA-hg5fk yeh, his laugh on XFM through ANC headphones turned up full, should be a torture method

[@YangSing1]

"Give us a retweet"

[@angelkotilainen]

He's not wrong though is he, I spend too much time online, I don't really go out, and I've got all their shows and books downloaded illegally cus I'm skint. Facts right there.

[@AA-hg5fk]

Get yourself a CB radio.

[@thegamebastard]

i love how Ricky's laugh at the end scares Karl

[@Krackerjax]

how does ricky's amazing laugh never make him even crack a smile?

[@MrFoxInc]

"GO OUT!!" Timeless message, truly a philosopher of our times

[@reinforcedpenisstem]

This is better than any show, even in HD

[@paugargallo7813]

The comedic timing on that Happy Christmas 😂

[@aaronrushton1]

when he said "go out!" and looked into my eyes i felt strangely compelled.

[@slurpeyatari]

The way his mouth moves when he says retweet had me rolling.

[@lfricmunuc4534]

All the young people are like "What the hell is CB?"

[@ZPSBestProfileName]

+Lieutenant Ivan What does it stand for?

[@therealoneeighth]

+ZPSBestProfileName Citizen-Band Radio

[@DingoTheDemon]

+Lieutenant Ivan Chaturbate!

[@rbeck3200tb40]

ZPSBestProfileName CB stands for citizens band. I think

[@juancarlosgallegos3902]

The way Karl looks surprised at Ricky's laugh at the end... he doesn't know why he's so funny

[@Dajman1594]

That last bit hit me right in the feels. Damn you, Karl.

[@Nina8esy]

Gotta love the "Happy Christmas" at the end LMAO!

[@tush8912]

I waited for that laugh for ages. Karl is the best

[@kaarl1815]

thanks

[@tush8912]

***** meheheheh

[@jameshickey1294]

End of 2021 an Karl is still brilliant 👏 👌

[@srevero1]

Love your honesty, Karl.

[@simonking195]

i could watch these 2 all day

[@michaelnourse3243]

'appy Christmas....

[@BenGarman]

I love how he has such flagrant scorn for his audience and fan base. What a hero. I hate us too.

[@The5thSnow]

Was waiting the whole time for Ricky's iconic laugh and got it at the end :)

[@Matty6660]

i agree with karl social networking is a hassle with people pestering you

[@Dickie2shoes]

Buy on Ferry

[@joseph1845]

Nicked rake

[@_J.F_]

I love the Christmas greeting from Karl at the end 😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@kortexsirvasil]

He was really genuine back in the early radio days, like around 2001. He got used to being a clown since and is now much more self-aware and controlled.

[@fleewithin]

Little Karl always gets a bit spooked when Ricky explodes in laughter.

[@JefficusMaximus]

The "Happy Christmas" killed me! Haha Karl knew what he was doing with that comment

[@bartcolen]

"'Give us a retweet'. How is that teaching you anything?"

[@lindastoakes1268]

Ricky's got the best laugh ever 🤣🤣😁

[@sneakysnake4466]

Thats probably the most reasonable and calm conversation they ever had (well, recorded at least)

[@Hannahxx1971]

Loved going on CB radio! My mates older brother had one, my friend was Danger mouse and I was Penfold...

[@KhanivoreQniba]

Only Karl can be so naturally savvy and hilarious.

[@ACook94]

Karl, this is much better than anything on telly atm!

[@donmajestic5258]

Happy Christmas.

[@optimusgrimey]

This has warmed me up nicely for new An Idiot Abroad with Karl and Warwick, I can't wait!

[@xcitera3081]

Just LOOK at karl's expression at 2:38 when ricky start laughing. Priceless.

[@francisguidera972]

I am genuinely starting to wonder if Karl is the comedy genius behind Ricky Gervais??? :)

[@GerryBolger]

FJ MUSIC He's obviously an actor called Graham.

[@TheShortbread123]

Will Clement Merchant is nothing compared to Gervais.

[@Fleischmann773]

i acctually went out after watching this. thanks Karl!

[@AutumnitsSummer]

Lol RIGHT ON Karl!!!!! Happy Christmas :)

[@DH-ij9pe]

Karl is a world treasure.

[@iamtherealrenedescartes]

I know about the podcasts yes. I only found them recently though lol. I know I've missed so much. I can't believe I missed this guy and I even remember seeing a little clip on an advert but I never thought to watch it. I listen to the podcasts when I'm browsing or just messing on my computer.

[@dantaylor897]

Happy christmas.😂 I fukin lost it like Rick

[@beccatee66]

He is sooo precious. Like an old man. I think his Dad would be even better. I'm sure. Just saying

[@beccatee66]

***** What does that mean?

[@K-J-B]

+Rebecca Trenorden it's a quote from one of their Xfm shows. Karl called someone a bog standard old woman.

[@Aalborg42]

he did put Forrest Gump in a wheelie bin

[@spreadthelove77]

Kyle Barratt Hilda! 😂😂👍🏼

[@qqqqqfg]

Go out!! Happy Christmas lol

[@Fuckthishandle1]

GO OUT! ...Happy Christmas.

[@battyflaps5410]

[@norealmagicever3292]

[@ludmillawebb]

Happy Xmas and all out look at trees!!!!! Hallelujah

[@Nomoredrama2000]

Go out!! ....... ... Happy Christmas. 😂👏🏼

[@pasqualedilorenzo9089]

Karl just cracks me up, every time

[@MrKaidalen]

GO OUT!.....Happy Christmas....best part

[@LightspeedGaming]

GO OUT... Happy Christmas. 😂😂

[@CustardBananaCat]

Jesus christ, I let out such a Ricky-esque laugh because of this.

[@RWBZF]

I would do the quotes thing and pick out the funniest line, but it's just everything he says is pure gold.

[@mrfundah]

its nice too see they have customised the shape of the microphone to match karls head

[@101Futile]

And once again Ricky started laughing while Karl remained totally calm :D

[@chorgin]

karls face when ricky laughs the last time "Priceless"

[@chaffam11]

GO OUT...............Happy Christmas!

[@Rosvolainen]

How Karl always manages to resist it is remarkable.

[@shaolintiger88]

Karl is a lyrical spherical miracle.

[@rebeccadelbridge2998]

It's so cute how enamoured Ricky is with Karl. I am as well.

[@norituk9824]

There should be a book of Karl's sayings - "If you can't look a knob in the face there's something wrong ..." "Tiny Tim go and get a chicken ..."

[@jimmydoonz]

god rickys laugh is so contagious

[@vivienleigh6629]

Love them

[@mrlavabeast]

Just a natural comedic character, he's just funny being himself.

[@mabarcomb3310]

Karl, we watch you because you are the most entertaining person on tele. :)

[@bexm8]

"Happy Christmas :)"

[@MooreGamesJay]

Legend.

[@ashepe]

Karl's right about so many things :) btw I LOVE Ricky's laugh!!

[@Mrpejimini]

Thanks Karl. We love you too :D

[@jarradz1989]

Very very good!

[@DeanWhipper]

Reading half the comments on these videos brings me to tears in hysterics, it's fake, it's all fake.

[@TobyJae]

Karl is the only man on television who makes sense.

[@TlatoaniItzcoatl]

love the face ricky made when he said mansion.

[@furiousfelicia5751]

Karl actually sounded quite philosophical there, and used cool analogies as well.

[@Stelpots]

I don't want to go out Karl, the outside is miserable. And you are hilarious :D

[@HungryTacoBoy]

The last thing Karl says killed me.

[@stebostock20]

Brilliant!

[@bigmingus8049]

Ricky's like a dad with his Little kid. "What do you wanna say to the people watching"

[@nathanhall48]

Thats probably the most depressing way to say happy christmas to someone :L..karl and ricky are absolute legends

[@nakata023]

I love that look Ricky gives the camera at 0:29.

[@roarzish]

1:53 omg i can fully use that for my computer studies! ty ricky gervais!

[@MrRealitycheque]

the delivery of happy christmas was fucking perfect

[@humanzbornfresh]

Ricky once tweeted the phrase “Uncle Ricky’s Big Fat Pendulous Nutsack” and deleted it within 20 seconds. Sometimes i think about that
