Ricky Gervais & Robin Ince - Politics Commentary

[@adriansimpson9134]

I’ve listened to literally hundreds of hours of Ricky, Steve, Karl all the way from XFM onwards and this is still one of the best hours.

[@schpleeb]

"Robin.... tell Poppa truth" - genuinely one of the funniest things I have ever heard

[@Chris-top-her]

***** been looking online for this for years...for that moment...."tell papa truth"

[@schpleeb]

the diary he reads from during this commentary is as funny as Karl's I think

[@diplamatikjuan3595]

Robin, Karl, Nigel, Warwick.. They are all just play things to Ricky 😂

This video has only been online for 3 months and I have already listened to it 5 million times. Doesn't stop being hilarious.

[@davidgapper6895]

[@ASH18YEARS]

[@ASH18YEARS]

geffel Okay, I'll start by assuming your comment is a joke. Good one.

[@vivavaldez87]

24:24 - such incredible delivery: "...I wonder if Robin, uh, knows h-how many comedians laugh at him. If only they could-t... all be... at every one of his gigs." With that very faint hint of a Derek style voice, like an innocent child genuinely wanting the best for someone they like, but clearly with an undertone of mild mockery for comedic effect. Brilliant!

[@spicyfrog8995]

I laughed so much when Ricky described robins arms 😆

[@victorymansions]

"Fun comes easy to other people, but I wouldn't change a thing about him" 😂

[@forgive7449]

"Tell Poppa truth!"

this is so underrated

Im here because of the 'tell papa truth' video

[@whitemagmacro]

did you know that robin once sat on ham to get the ass worms to come out

[@djtruuump]

Why would you sit on ham then tell ricky gervais

[@sctmcg]

40:15 - Tell Poppa Troothe

[@xxczerxx]

"Tell Papa truth" bit is quality! Why did Ricky ditch Robin?

[@odw_99]

It was probably the other way around, there's only so much Ricky people can take😂

[@Pebble_Collector]

Robin's now talking science with everybody's favourite Oldham physician, Prof Brian Cox. That's Cox, not as in the male bird or a penis.

[@xxczerxx]

LrsLzk That's funny, because I've got some cock soup 'ere, meaning the male bird. Not a man's penis.

[@murderballad1154]

..are you a couple 'a benders

[@cliveramsbotty6077]

ricky's work took a significant downturn in quality after this, conversely robin's work went up several levels to radio 4

[@Craig17g]

I remember listening to this when I first got the DVD when it was originally released. I thought it was a bit odd. Now having seen more of Ricky's bizarre character traits I find it utterly hilarious hahaha

[@trachtaire]

Starting a diary on September 10th 2001. Jesus. Talk about bad timing.

[@Pebble_Collector]

At least entry #2 was eventful?

[@possessedslig]

Awwh he knows his crisps 😄 @1:04:16

[@samuelgarrod8327]

Ince has recently said that he feels he was bullied by Gervais.

[@ReggieBlinker-k9e]

That’s because he’s a bitter, two faced, snivelling little politically correct bellend. And always was.

[@theartofboxing173]

He didn't mind when it was padding his bank balance and building his profile. Every second he spent with Ricky was his choice, he was an adult and could leave at any time.

[@tdyerwestfield]

They skipped a day. What happened on September 11th 2001?

[@groveofbleachedbones8977]

I don't believe the official story at all, clearly a Mossad led CIA backed Op to enhance the agenda of The Greater Israel project, and the new American century. So I wrote a letter to Larry Silverstein which read simply "Tell papa truth."

[@michaelhall5429]

Not much.

We lost Ince, but this is still a good listen.

[@paulelroy6650]

lost him where?

[@Peskyjooba]

This is so much better than Karl’s diary (which I love)

[@NiallSlimDrew]

Robin! Come on! Please.

[@matrags]

Was this recorded at the time of "Politics" or more recently?

[@Craig17g]

Mark Griffiths it was on the original DVD release

[@LauraForrester]

I remember watching the dvd as a student at uni and frequently playing this commentary rather than watching the actual show because it’s so damn funny.

[@nez9751]

I’ve listened to all the podcasts many times. I’m assuming this robin is the one that Karl said he didn’t like after meeting him back in the day…

[@Paddy.C]

Yeah, Ricky told Karl the stories about sitting on ham, and drinking milk from a cow's udder.

[@prnfl]

Every time robin says something that isn't funny gervais just ignores him and reads from the diary. The diary saved those moments

[@commo123]

no

[@Glozboy22]

I've just realised that Robin has almost the exact same voice as Alex Zane. Weird.

[@jowillow427]

This is more mental then funny

[@JuliusReedRPGFanboy]

Gervais seems allot more mean spirited towards Robin at-least Karl can defend himself.

[@ivorbigonee]

karl replaced robin, awww

[@ReggieBlinker-k9e]

I see Robin has now joined the politically correct brigade, and publicly thrown his mate under the bus. What a snivelling little turd. Never liked him if I’m honest.

[@paulelroy6650]

well from day one he said ricky is an annoying guy nothings change in that regard. why are strangers like you online getting angry about the friendship of people you don’t know.

[@ReggieBlinker-k9e]

@ why are people like you getting angry at people noticing, that someone has publicly shamed someone because they are now politically correct?

[@billybear2333]

It's his little thumbs

[@davegadge1]

The only unfunny bit is 'about Anne frank not doing a follow up' I think your funnier than this Ricky!

[@JMUDoc]

Robin's not funny. He just isn't.

[@HarrisonBowman]

JMUDoc He makes Ricky laugh, soooooo

[@simonpenum]

His standup isn't but I find him funny with Ricky. And not just as a foil but he genuinely says some funny shit whilst bantering etc, it's a shame he can't translate it into a good routine

[@strideygaming]

simonpenum how many of his routines have you watched?

[@cockoffgewgle4993]

He's funny with Ricky

[@violent_world]

i had an argument with him on Instagram, which was funny.

Robin's not funny. I can't hold it in anymore. I can't continue to ponder the fact that maybe he is funny. He isn't funny. Pack it in Robin. Comedy isn't your game. You need to enjoy what you're saying to be funny, but you don't, you just sound genuinely annoyed all the time, you're not funny. Work in a call centre or something.

[@HarrisonBowman]

Rain on a Still Lake "Wah Wah Wah", quote from you.

[@jeanferret9497]

In the Oxford English Dictionary the definition of Wanker is Ricky Gervais.

not the funniest.

[@tiarnan76]

ricky trying to replicate the work he did with karl n stephen...pretty pathetic...

[@ASH18YEARS]

Not really, this was released before the podcasts - after xfm but those shows were low-key. It's also a one-off DVD commentary.
