Who stroked a spider full stop

[@wisconsingoldrush8270]

I caught a brown hairy spider and rubbed it as much as I could. I use the Eraser end of a pencil because I didn't want to get bit but I rubbed it a bunch and the hair did not fall out I think he made that up

@@wisconsingoldrush8270 It isn't on all spiders, only tarantulas, and it's not 'hair' that it's losing, more like spines that it can shoot out. They don't grow back, and leave a bald spot after it does it once. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urticating_hair

the script is good, but the acting is so so brilliant... tha expressions he makes when he's playing the sorry elephant and the disappointed coast guard.. what a master.

[@archiebrooks7782]

[@ruthm.6071]

Agreed! Just hearing the audio is funny. Watching him be the spider trying to be unobtrusive with a hat on, and being the sheepish elephant that broke the rules is priceless.

[@insomniacbritgaming1632]

Script? You mean his very very basic notes?

[@wilhelmdietz4023]

Yes, the elephant and the coast guard bit gave me the same feelings as the Hitler and Marx bit. Brilliant.

[@lavielemond]

I've often said the EXACT same things, my friend!! Just as in his "Out of England" live show, when he acted out Hitler's reaction to Nietzsche being appalled by his mass extermination of the Jews, the way that he uncomfortably looked at the ground & pretended to be focussed upon something that he was doing with his foot, accompanied by his attempt at casually saying "What?" (more like "Wo'?") the same way that your average brainless teenager or "mong" would say it! GOLD!! The exact same can be said of the often subtle (but equally as important & incredible) quirks & mannerisms that made his portrayal of David Brent so incredible in "The Office" & while I think that Steve Carell is a lovely & funny guy, IMO he didn't even come close to making his version remotely as funny in the US version of the show. Ricky may be extremely intelligent, naturally hilarious & very charismatic but his acting ability is often very underrated by many people, although he has played a wide variety of characters so well in such TV series as "The Office", "Extras", "Derek" (my personal favourite) & "After Life", as well as numerous movie roles, including the phenomenal "Night At The Museum" trilogy, with the likes of such quality actors as Ben Stiller, Owen Stiller & Robin Williams (RIP).

I need a Mammalian documentary with Ricky Gervais commentary.

[@MonaLisaHasNoEyebrows]

I know nobody cares but the balding spider fact refers to the fact that tarantulas can kick the hair off of their abdomen in defense (the hairs sting eyes and can cause asthmatic attacks). A person rubbing the abdomen can do the same as the spiders kicking legs and the spider will never grow the hair back leaving bald patches. My Chilean Rosehair has a couple.

+Brent'sCardsAnd Coins Here's more to that story. Nerves and muscles used during mating is not directly connected to the brain, which means even after it loses the head, the male can continue to mate.

I'd heard the polar bear thing before but if you stop to think about it, it is actually very interesting - it means that either polar bears are sufficiently self-aware to know about the visibility of their nose (someone needs to do a mirror test in a zoo somewhere) or the nose covering behaviour has evolved and polar bears must just get a subconscious urge to cover their noses when hunting :-)
