Ricky Gervais Show XFM - S1 , E16

16 March 2002

[@Owen-wc1wr]

so glad you're still here. Ricky Gervais Fan Toby was taken down yesterday. It was a dark day.

[@GamingOmnomnom]

What happened? He had some rare stuff ; ;

[@fpGrumms]

Owen V-H Very upsetting that it happened. It was a great channel. This is my new place now!

[@zedooncadhz]

These xfm's have been lifesavers for me, but the volune difference between ricky and karl is too big, you cant listen to this if ur trying to sleep

[@highnoon7097]

Sleeping listening to this drivel? You've got too much time on your hands boy

[@socialpiratekeyboardwarrio6546]

Am i the only one still listen to these

[@vansay429]

I've been listening while at work too, it's great!

[@the_dylansage]

Has anybody else slowly noticed Steve get jealous/insecure about Karl and Ricky's friendship, as it grows? Probably the tenth time listening to all of these three's videos and it's very interesting learning about them

[@treevillan]

The Ken Dodd story changed to his father being the one who accidentally called him Ken in a later episode.

[@issaclopian5497]

I thought that as well

[@cruffatin]

These radio shows are the organic material for the more scripted podcasts etc. Or so I've thought!

[@frankieaglow]

11:56 the first realisation

[@HaydnG266]

It's the previous episode to this, the episodes seem to be muddled up. I've found it on Grooveshark, but the first 5-10 mins of the segment is missing. I can't paste the link in for some reason

[@Joshatron1205]

There is an episode missing between 15 and 16 which was probably taken down due to copyright infringements

[@xellestar]

steve in with the scorpion parable, someone was watching voyager repeats

[@HeatyFrog]

"An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain" The same could probably be said for Karl AND Steve

[@Milan_Smidt]

''Say he had like a stroke on a Tuesday, he was up and fighting again on Wednesday. He was a strong bloke.'' Just imagine that.

[@neilsanderson9732]

"bumblebee; that's the one with fur"

[@luukeluketer1024]

That Mariah Carey bit is pure pure genius....

[@Goochbot]

"Or a new phrase that's been coined because of Steve's face, 'water off a frogs back'"

[@Joshatron1205]

The day ricky realised karl had a head like a fucking orange

[@alexmovies]

29:00 and 10 years later, Karl sends Warwick davis up and it takes less balloons

[@markwilliams7054]

41:58 "Don't go for other people's bones.." "What does that mean!?" "...oooh, don't you know..."

[@petalprecious]

Can anyone explain the Adam Ant thing? Googling does nothing.

[@ToxicBarracuda]

Back in 2002, Adam Ant (lead singer) got into a pub fight because people were mocking his cowboy outfit. He was chased out of the pub, but pulled out a starting gun, threatening the patrons who followed him. He consequently was arrested and taken into psychiatric care. As I'm sure you know, in the song 'Stand and Deliver', he plays a highway man and holds up a carriage at gun point.

[@TheZackkary1]

ToxicBarracuda not so much cowboy as "dashing highway man"

[@HaydnG266]

These episodes are all mixed up!

[@you2begin]

The more I hear these shows the funny Steven Merchant gets.

[@ewanlewis1157]

this is actually episode 17 he talks about hitler in the actual episode 16 go to proffesional ftv channel he has the real episode 16

[@BraniusBalki]

With the Carl trapped in drain water situation, why didn't he just take his shoes off and wade out?

[@HaydnG266]

[@sigigle]

"there are no young people who are taking up the pipe as a smoking option these days..." lol maybe not for tobacco...;]

[@frankieaglow]

30:12 the amount of times rick and steve brand things as being "libellous"... libel is defamation through print only! they mean to say slander...

[@flamingterddroid7515]

Not true actually. Due to it being broadcast on-air to an audience it counts as being "published" and thus falling under the umbrella of Libel. it's a common misconception that only thinks written are libel.

[@XxWoOkiExX1]

Nowadays in Australia libel and slander are one and the same in defamation laws

[@gonzo8423]

+frankieaglow Yawn

[@frankieaglow]

"Libel is a written defamatory statement, and slander is a spoken or oral defamatory statement." - UK Defamation Law, Article 54.

[@Vhargon]

bread

[@GooglyEyedJoe]

32:52 - "He 'ad a couple of strokes...but he 'ad a stroke on say.." "Yeah we've had that, he beat the bosh, he liked to have a couple of strokes let's not get into innuendo Karl, it's stupid." "...Right say he had like a stroke on a Tuesday" *Burst of laughter* xD 2:25 - "Staaand and delivveuurr yhoi-yhoi-your money or your leeuuff" *Dum dum dum dum* "Uh!" xD

[@t0yo]

I've heard this a couple of times but now do I only realize the "bike in the hall" joke. Hahaha how I wish these guys were still on air

[@33hegemon]

Gervais trying to explain the Hindenberg shows that he's no smarter than Karl.

[@Randyy1]

Yeah and they didn't talk about the balloons in the "previous" episode... I watched all of these in order, but then all my files got deleted, idunno which episode is which any more :/

[@Matt1w3]

which episode does karl talk about HItler?

[@FiShHeAd9999]

UM YOU SMOKE OTHER THINGS, UMMM YOU'RE SO COOL. UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMm

[@FrailCaesar]

[@Alpacajon]

11:58 And the roundness was discovered

[@JosephShambrook]
