Bann seaguls

[@borednow5838]

Awesome! His answer and their reaction to it was gold!

[@BigSalK]

Pissed myself just reading this, amazing moment

[@notmyname9261]

I think ban gulls pretty much works to be honest. All he needed to do was say "seabirds" to be clearer

[@karldilkington8802]

6:07 "shout out your name if you know it" lmao he's well into it.

[@jimmyjimbo72]

2:17:14 - "SHHHHUT UUUUP!"

[@Rbajaj1986]

Its still insane how this shows off rickys natural comedic chops way more than all the stand ups hes done the last 10 years. This is his best arena. And it needs to be with stephen and karl talking off the cuff. Its magic

[@tobybiggins5367]

I often think this. He's at his best taking the piss out of his mates on the radio. Such a naturally funny guy (or he used to be 15-20 years ago) but somehow his stand up just doesn't do it for me, or a anything he's done solo since

[@chriswebster1934]

I think it’s because he’s not a super talented actor. Great standup is rehearsed ad-nauseum and then made to look as though it’s the first time it’s ever performed. Ricky’s never been the best at that. But his in-the-moment piss-taking is second to none. As is his enjoyment of Karl’s working-class profundity.

[@craftycraff7938]

Perfect.

[@adamwade2546]

I listen to these to fall asleep, apart from. This compilation which makes me laugh so hard the whole bed shakes and my wife gets annoyed with me... Freda pain...

[@sidneysmooth]

Yep, my girl hates it, im like a vibrating mutley 😂

[@andrewtregoning]

Haha same

[@SamuelBlack84]

I sleep alone, so I don't have that issue🙂

[@sarahkavanagh7355]

Same, I've been listening the podcasts to fall sleep for years now, but never Rockbusters. Tonight it's come on and I'm in bed laughing with tears coming down my face at 4.27am, it's better than any therapy could possibly be 😂

[@jordanrobinson8384]

This is still amazing. I must have listened to it a 1000 times.

[@movingtargets7833]

I've been listening to them for the last 10 years, this must be the best competition ever to be broadcast anywhere.

[@FSeg7]

Ricky's reaction to "Banana drama" was brilliant.

[@EagleEyedViewer96]

What group is Bananadrama?! WHAT GROUP! IS BANANADRAMA?!

[@mattlord97]

"Buy On Ferry", "Deli Meat Tree" and "Christ! De Berg" is the best trio

[@jeremyc9593]

Easily the best. Maybe not the best individually, but easily the best group.

[@clintonjarboe6328]

@@jeremyc9593 but Buy On Ferry is the best one individually

[@zhubacca]

@@clintonjarboe6328 idk deli meat tree gives it a run for its money owing to karls repeated attempts to rush through it thinking ricky and steve somehow wont notice

[@galeocerdo42]

1:46:25 Absolutely creasing at the way Karl says “and a meat tree and that”, like I little child in trouble 😂 he knows he’s about to be battered for it 😂

[@stereotypea123]

Pure silliness, it still cracks me up after all these years. I wish they'd put out Rockbusters merch!

[@borednow5838]

I'd buy it!

[@paulo1ftw]

24:45 that comedic timing :D "Bangles."

[@MrMongoose221]

I love the pheonix nights 'divine comedy' one. Karl loves to get a little jab in about how he thinks its better than the office whenever he can lol

[@AmarylisFlow]

Steve’s round up of the prizes is as good as the clues...

[@SuperSmith]

The banter around Karl saying bulb at around 2:39:30 is probably my favorite part of this.

[@Misfits822]

Robcoz98 actually thought Deli Meat tree was good 😂

[@BigBoshV]

The best rockbusters ever right there 👌🏼

[@AA-hg5fk]

Christ, de berg! Was one of my all time favourites!

[@AutomaticDuck300]

Hilarious when Ricky hears "Christ, de Berg!" and tears up the paper in anger.

[@GrubShackBaby]

De Trout Spinners and Kenny Loggins are my favourites I think!

[@randydandog]

I only just noticed the "De trout Spinners written on the card" lol

[@TheRuddster95]

Great touch

[@thehaymaker3660]

The bowling one had me in stitches! Literally clue that epitomises the "guess what I'm thinking" approach Karl has to making clues.

[@radioactivepotato2068]

I love how they're still working out the rules with the first two contestants on the line.

[@jackgirote9132]

Her mans her mits is the most genius thing I have ever heard. When I heard it, I laughed for a minute. Way to go Karl.

[@UnwovenSleeve]

2:42:14 "I had a vision of that chinese flu" Karl's a fortune teller

Bird flu but ok

Also Poof Daddy aged well…

[@Raven-Claws88]

Been listening to these for years now and they are still hilarious. Used to worry about getting into trouble in the office for listening to them through headphones and sniggering/giggling too much at Karl's "cryptic" clues! 😂

Steve describing the prizes of tat every show just kills me I love it and how Karl groans in the background because He knows its tat

[@mrk.dilkington]

14 hours of Lord of the Rings... throw that away, or give it to some poor bastard who wins this quiz..😂

[@AA-hg5fk]

After Ricky slates the prizes, "People send us these (prizes) so they get bigged up on the radio, so that's done..."

[@Mayor_Of_Eureka17]

Even Karl warned us about Diddy.

What do you mean? Sean Combs is awaiting trial for allegations of sex trafficking by force and transportation for purposes of prostitution - this has nothing to do with being a homosexual . Your joke is really homophobic.
