Ricky Gervais Show; Karls Diary & Monkey news (Chimp Doctors)

karl when aliens invade: "its some sort of space thing innit"

[@flynnlivescmd]

People like this would be fantastic ambassadors. Logical, uncorrupted, has a pretty morose yet accurate perspective of society and life and over all pure example of how our minds work and what we dont focus on and do focus on/work on. Also isnt a yes man nor afraid to call BS! In an unaggressive egotistical manner

[@Patrick.Weightman]

"i got bad eyes n that" "come in tomorrow n we'll sort them out"

“Yeah, they’re bad them”

"The Ducks Looked Worried" hahahahahaha priceless !!

[@jordanforbes2557]

"Hang on something doesn't seem quite right here" hahahah

[@K20a3RSX]

The chimp doctors bit reminds me of Norm McDonald. I firmly believe Karl knows what he’s doing.

[@joeschmoe9863]

That’s a prime Norm joke, I agree

[@pleaseenteraname8211]

It's increadible because the punchline is strongly alluded to from the beggining and you never get any misdirection whatsoever. It's an amazing antijoke

[@IGotBoergs]

I thought so from the first time I heard him, he has such a good sense for punchlines and comes up with bangers on the spot

[@seanlaffey3633]

“That’s a knick knack Patty Whack, give the frog a loan. His old man’s a Rolling Stone!”

[@Zanytiger6]

Karl mistaking a joke for a real story is so great

[@burnsyboyy7534]

I ask Suzanne “why don’t ducks use there wings much”? Suzanne said she had to call her mum and dad so I never got an answer 😂😂😂.

[@stevenaitcheson6938]

did i ever tell you about the immune system?

[@ElZilchoYo]

No i don't think it's set up or agreed before, but Ricky definitely brings out this side of Karl, when you watch him in interviews alone he acts not different but not as weird because he isn't being asked weird stuff constantly

[@MINDxWORM]

"it's some sort of time thing innit"

[@hardcorejoey88]

Do yourself a favor and listen to the phone call again at 5.24. Absolutely great.

[@LabzDex]

4:28 "It was this fella... right, who had a problem with his eyes.......... right" haha I don't know why that was hilarious to me

[@Melbourne_Approach]

"Easy mistake". Man the stuff karl says at the end of these convos is usually the best stuff

[@gregsaan]

Karl Pilkington = complete genius. His way of thinking is unparalleled.

[@ginnoveffect]

I love how you can just never dissuade Karl from anything.

[@kalebstuckey570]

I honestly thought the punchline was going to be “because the light was on.”

[@NeonChimpAustralia]

Actually Chimps, like all Simians have opposable thumbs on their hands and feet, so Ricky was wrong about that.

[@kingofthefountain3091]

The saddest part about the chimp doctor was the procedure was full price.

[@changvasejarik62]

That would be worse

[@Peridactyloptrix]

Of course chimps have opposable thumbs, Ricky!

[@Kryptnyt]

They've got em on their feet even, don't they?

[@rumpelstiltskin6150]

He brings it up so often and it boggles my mind, there's actually a lot of stuff he gets wrong and by sitting next to Karl it makes him sound less wrong to people.

[@stefanalexanderlungu1503]

They don't have opposable thumbs because they can't touch their thumbs and their fingers together.

[@hbelgica118]

“In America, where they have to pay for medical stuff and all that” yup karl thanks for reminding me 👍

[@bigbowlowrong4694]

In pretty much every other first world country the fact that Americans need to pay for basic and essential medical care out of their own pockets blows people’s minds. Even in your most recent presidential debate, the moderator questioned Biden about ‘socialised’ (universal) healthcare with a tone that indicated it was some CRAAAAAZY and obviously bad policy that no one on Earth could possibly support. The USA’s healthcare system is awesome - if you’re rich. For everyone else it’s a bankruptcy factory. I know you already know this but yeah

[@jameshoffa7085]

@@bigbowlowrong4694 blah blah enjoy your 50% tax rate euro poop. Why do you people think we care what you think of our country?

[@tcideh4929]

I see a lot of people saying that Ricky is wrong about chimps and thumbs. The truth is that he is right or wrong depending on your definition. “Opposability is present to some degree in most primates but varies considerably in its functional effectiveness as an instrument of fine manipulation. Humans and baboons are preeminent in this respect. The apes, having short thumbs and long fingers, are handicapped in relation to delicate manual dexterity but are adept in the coarser elements of hand use, particularly in relation to tree climbing.”

[@pjwils]

They do. and they have a good grip too.

[@23Arshaviin]

[@tomfairbairn1202]

worried duck .... my new synth loop band name

[@Festias]

@BasementBeginnings You may want to double check that, because I did. "Opposable thumbs are shared by many primates, including most simians, and some prosimians. The climbing and suspensory behaviour in orthograde apes, such as chimpanzees, has resulted in elongated hands while the thumb has remained short. As a result, these primates are unable to perform the pad-to-pad grip associated with opposability." Chimps have thumbs, but not opposable thumbs.

[@LexVanguard2004]

"Well, to be honest, y'know, he's specialised in what he does" "What a load of bollocks this is getting" XD

[@SultanRoyal]

Love how Karl assumes that there must have been a loud noise just because it's called "Big Bang".

[@paulymcfly]

Chimps do have opposable thumbs though. They have opposable feet too.

[@sabatino1977]

"a little bit of idle chimp chat"

[@LawsonComedy]

The big bang line was fucking brilliant.

[@SnorkyO]

This is as good as Clive Warren

[@bigbowlowrong]

@ThatGuy1116 - you don't need insurance for medical care in the UK. You pay for it through income tax, whether you have used it that year or not. A far superior system than whatever mess the USA now has.

[@jimmiepiranah]

'Money now so you can see more bananas'

[@LawsonComedy]

@asgerronholm yeah they do, but they don't have the precision grip is what I think Ricky meant. A chimp can swing a hammer but it can't work with small tools.

[@chrislew8423]

I don't care what any one says I believe the chimp doctor story 😁

[@stevenaitcheson6938]

this is genius. Remember this for when a relative is ill.

[@cannonfodder4000]

6:33 Lol in the back the letter test says "MONEY NOW SO YOU CAN SEE MORE BANANAS"

[@FrangiPaint]

Karl's actually on something about the time thing... I think it happened to a King or a Lord or something like that. He saw himself coming down the road on a horse, then 10 years later he was doing the same thing, recalling what he'd seen years earlier. Died in some war like the same day

[@SlickGinoRomano]

That was a twilight zone episode which I saw once, A man walks down the ally and sees him and his mates when he was younger! :3

[@ferretyluv]

Yes it is, I have personal experience. I needed to see an ENT badly. It wasn't an emergency, if by emergency you mean I didn't have blood pouring out of my ear, nose and throat. I didn't get an appointment for 2 MONTHS. If I was in Europe, I could have called the doctor at his house, on the weekend, at night, and gotten an appointment for the next day. Here, you can't go until your insurance clears. No, it's not "free", but you save money on monthly insurance claims, so it makes up for it.

[@TheCarin12]

Oppossable grip - The ability of the thumb to touch the pinky.

[@Craydlin]

I laugh out loud at the punchline every time

[@kristoferboesen5671]

Does Ricky really think that chimps don’t have opposable thumbs?

[@Zuernaxashyr]

'Money now so you can see more bananas'. Lol

[@alchemicfanatic]

There's really not much to comment on in this one... Thanks for the upload!

[@fifth_elephant]

a chimps thumb is but a stub in proportion to it's fingers unlike a humans which has a large thumb in relation to its fingers, and while it may technically oppose the fingers it really doesnt allow the grip or precision of a human thumb/finger combo. This is what gervais is implying.

[@moominjosh3957]

6:42 look background at the eye test sheet

[@_Mutto_]

@ferretyluv Yes, and in Canada, you have to wait a couple of days to see a doctor for a skull fracture. (Been there, seen it.) Plus it isn't free. Nothing is free. They pay into it with their taxes. So you pay more in taxes for a longer wait and for other's injuries. "Here, you have to wait for the office to open and then you have to wait for them to set you up an appointment, which with a specialists takes WEEKS." That is simply not true, Maybe for your, non-emergency appointment.

[@wadwad22]

the doppleganger thing is from the twilight zone haha

[@aimeechav600]

4:00 tbh I wouldn't have been smart enough to think about that ??? Such a legend (:

[@TheMattmatic]

"Just enjoy looking at stuff"

[@brobruh7850]

Some of Karl’s diary entries read like old Japanese haiku

[@ferretyluv]

First of all, doctor's offices in Europe aren't run like free clinics here. You can call a doctor on a weekend if you wanted to. Here, you have to wait for the office to open and then you have to wait for them to set you up an appointment, which with a specialists takes WEEKS. Plus, to even see the specialist, you need a referral. You don't need that in Europe. Also, Canada's the second largest country on earth. They have free health care. Russia is the largest. They do to.

[@jameshoffa7085]

"Canada's the second largest country on earth" With about as many people as California. 10 year old comment, still stupid.

[@colzaidikari]

almost all primates have opposable thumbs used for grasping things, especially tree branches, and picking up things. Humans, apes, and most monkeys have this type of thumb.

[@astroclast]

@heftigfin Good eye! The entire (almost) picture may be seen at 7:36: "Give me money now so you can see more bananas" - birlliant!

[@peepdeepful]

@BasementBeginnings As far as I´m concerned Doppleganger is a misspelling of the German word but commonly used and acknowledged as well...

[@MIKITANII]

BWAHA! I was half right!

[@BlackMambaShark]

Ya Ricky, it's a time thing.

[@livingdeadgrl18]

Go enjoy looking at stuff

[@notagreatname3710]

Well Ricky got the one big thing about chimps wrong

[@asgerronholm]

what's he on about - chimps DO have opposable thumbs...

[@BACasey81]

Thanks for this XD

[@ryama86]

that is kind of weird once when i wer bout 8 me and my mom went into a super market and i seen a lil boy of bout 4 with blond curley hair just like me when i was that age and his mom called him over and he had the same name as me i still remember that to this day!

[@ProgHouseSam]

[@benh4544]

3:00 he said the exact same story on XFM but said it was a woman...

[@RoguishBlonde]

yes, i agree, i was more replying to todd. he had one valid point, and one not ;)

[@sabatino1977]

Raccons have them, too.

[@MIKITANII]

I was not implying that chimpanzees do not have opposable thumbs but that "doppelganger" could be spelled multiple ways depending on the language but now that I think of it, the producers of the show possibly spelled it incorrectly on purpose for humorous reasons.

[@LoveSarcoptesFilms]

watch from 4:19 with captions on. Hilarious.

[@3LBOYS]

On the wall at 6:41 it says see more bananas.

[@raisinpower]

@heystupidopenthedoor Yes but primitive thumbs aren't a-posable

[@ElderScrollsAssassin]

Momma Pilkington's into the same shit.... XD

[@zakkydude654]

I thought he was going to say it was a "PRIMATE" Doctor instead of "PRIVATE"...

[@kryten1992]

he honestly has a point about the big bang.

[@ProfWulfenstein]

That is not what he said. And in a different episode he said that Gorrilas can build things. How can they build if they have no oposable thumbs? Also while their grip may not be as precise as a humans' they are still fully capable of precision grip, and they can indeed wield tools, and perform actions with those tools. -Critic of the Critics

5:36 is where you put on the 3d glasses

[@randallwindleofficial8237]

Well, Brittish English is very different from American English. You see somethings are pronounced differently and spelled differently.
