[@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

"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

"it's some sort of time thing innit"

[@Melbourne_Approach]

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

[@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

[@kalebstuckey570]

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

[@ginnoveffect]

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

[@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

[@kingofthefountain3091]

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

[@changvasejarik62]

That would be worse

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

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

[@NeonChimpAustralia]

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

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.

[@AA-hg5fk]

Ricky wrong once again

[@o0oGhsto0o]

Yes but no. They do not have precision grip. "Thumb length Chimpanzees have shorter thumbs and longer fingers than humans, so their thumbs only meet the palm and their fingers extend upward. Grip Chimpanzees use a "hook grip" to suspend themselves from horizontal supports, and a diagonal hook grip for vertical supports. Their thumbs touch the support but don't squeeze it against their palms. Precision Chimpanzees' long fingers and short thumbs make it difficult for them to precisely grasp objects. Opposable thumbs are a trait that evolved in primates to help them grasp branches in trees. Other animals with opposable thumbs include gorillas, orangutans, and some frogs, koalas, pandas, possums, and opossums. "

[@happyclappyslappy]

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

[@saulgoodgrrrl]

“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

they wouldnt be able to grip trees without opposable thumbs

Thanks for this XD

It was him when he was a kid. HAHAHA

[@rubycubicle]

I love when Ricky says "Don't talk shit"

[@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

[@Zuernaxashyr]

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

[@the4thman610]

8:41 GIVE ME MONEY NOW SO YOU CAN SEE MORE BANANAS

[@TheCarin12]

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

[@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.

[@paulymcfly]

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

[@Craydlin]

I laugh out loud at the punchline every time

[@alchemicfanatic]

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

the monkey doctor AHAHAHA

[@CrazyFreak714]

What does he say 4:09 ? ?

[@qwerty64ish]

Good point though init

[@alucard59131]

The ducks looked worried lol

[@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.

[@SnorkyO]

This is as good as Clive Warren

[@brobruh7850]

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

[@ebbhead20]

Just came up with their slogan > IT`S SO CHEAP IT`S A CHIMP. :-P

[@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.

[@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.

[@pablo72012]

He realised the nurse was a panda hahaha

[@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.

[@wadwad22]

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

[@utterpreshure8468]

how did he read the number on the ad but not the word chimp

[@heliotropeskies5918]

6:01 hes incorrect all apes and all old world monkeys have opposable thumbs

[@benh4544]

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

[@TheMattmatic]

"Just enjoy looking at stuff"

[@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.

[@aimeechav600]

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

[@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.

[@JamesHoffa1]

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

[@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!

[@_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.

[@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.

[@asgerronholm]

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

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

[@peepdeepful]

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

[@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
