The Ricky Gervais Show - Karl Pilkington Plumbing

If Karl was boss, he wouldn't have any excuses!

[@K.Dilkington]

"No, because they've done it before." In a completely hypothetical scenario.

[@richardmorton4762]

🤣

[@quarky6395]

And this is where his genius comes out !

[@shyjames83]

“Just annoys me”

[@borednow5838]

"You're in big trouble, fuck off"!

[@FranMSK]

Like that monkey news where the monkey had the chat show and suddenly Cher was on.

[@WestOutWay]

"Go round to Sheila's and slag me off if you want, but you're not coming back here - fuck off." HAHA!

[@thecinematicmind]

One chance.

[@SkywardPhantom]

The best part of this bit is that Karl has already gone so deep into this hypothetical that he's created a history where his employees have already used up their one chance to skip a day of work.

[@barringtonfisher87]

& he's already thought about the fact he gives himself a bit more time to put the heating on in the car

[@temporary6715]

“Gone so deep”

[@jbri1]

And that they slag him off behind his back

[@kieranwhite6647]

'You're not coming back here again, fuck off!' Cracks me up everytime

[@thvtsydneylyf3th077]

i no its so good

[@ZombieWerePrechaunPire]

I love that when Ricky and Karl do a bit, Karl is always so in to it.

[@jstobie2000]

Skibi so’s ricky

[@placebodomingo3277]

By the second ring he has already named his business “KP Plumbing”

[@juliuscaesar6793]

It’s true, it’s like a switch gets turned on, his imagination takes over.

[@AA-fn9xz]

He’s like Michael from The US Office when he makes the million dollar sale.

[@jeffgratton75]

Steve appreciates ityou can hear him laugh quietly at the “kp plumbing”

[@greyforge27]

"She's weak anyway." xD

[@anon9579]

farfangled that discribes people who want safe spaces expel them

[@Tigerman1138]

Karl is a beast! A reasonable and fair beast. No transports? Is that slang for a taxi? A bus?

[@dale2442]

just any public transport

[@zabaoth]

KP for PM. He puts everything in the simplest terms possible, he doesn't give a toss if you can't pull your own weight, and he's too simple to be corrupt (Just keep radio/TV shows and maganizes away from him). He's got my vote.

[@vocalist92]

I love how he said that as well as plenty of other Darwinist opinions but he struggled to last one night on a desert island in IA2

[@jonnywho21]

"I'm not gonna make it in today son so um I'll see you tomorrow alright boy?" lol

[@tomdavies6256]

That part was hilarious😂 Bob is a cheeky chappy😂😂

[@goatfather5711]

Might try that next time I call in sick.

[@timothyalston9171]

Read it exactly as they said it

[@zabaoth]

Rant: If you're ever young and in a position of authority, the senior staff will fucking see how far they can go. I know they did it with me, and anyone who took my position after I was promoted. I legally fired them, fuck the unions, costs, and consequences. Afterwards, you tell your team that you only care about results. If they do their contractually mandated work, you don't care if they leave early, come in late, don't come at all, or are on drugs, you'll back them up. If they don't, no second chances. The higher ups are happy, because they want results, and your crew quickly grows attached to your "hands off" kind of leadership. Add turning a blind eye to some overtime forms from the most efficient employees, and it's smooth sailing.

[@tcekilla2]

@@zabaoth Lol WTF job is this? Sign me up? Bet pay if like 4.50 an hour though

[@berkerust09]

"you're not coming back here, FUCK OFF" Funniest thing I've heard in ages

[@El..Stracho]

"Go round to Sheila's n slag me of..." ahahaha superb man

[@darkautumnstories5834]

"No 'cos they've done it before.." How he folds his arms and pulls a smug expression. Brilliant xD

[@Eddie4518]

You it’s an animation right?

[@bladabladabloo]

@@Eddie4518 What difference does that make?

[@ProughZack]

I love how quickly Karl adapts to Ricky's hypothetical scenarios like they're real things. Also he was 100% in the right for firing Sheila. Bob...not so much.

[@cozy4732]

ProughZack but he'd done it before!

[@sm0g-810]

It's really not that easy to fire people. Snow shouldn't stop people from getting into work but our country is just so ridiculously unprepared for this sort of weather. Recently in my area, gritters sometimes haven't even come out the night before its supposed to snow.

[@nickmagee-brown739]

Sm0g - yep, when I have seen/heard that there is a chance of heavy snow I text my team and inform them that disciplinary steps will be taken against them and no excuses will be accepted for late/non arrival into work and on the odd occasion i get a call, I ignore it, check the caller id and simply text them to say 'assuming you are calling to inform you are en route so see you in...... minutes, ENSURE you are here!' Always works.

[@Kyle1818]

What a lovely employer you must be to work for Nick Magee!

[@nickmagee-brown739]

Kyle1818 i'm not an employer, just mid way up the food chain, if the will is there, you can always get in. I did last week.

[@adudefromtheukvideos]

Does anyone know when this stops being funny? I've watched it maybe 60 times over the last few months, and it still makes me laugh out loud every single time! "FOOK OFF!"

[@Tigerman1138]

John Smith It can stop being funny?

[@bfdcluberlang5681]

I’m exact same. Just had it on again. Id love to work for KP plumbing 😂

[@rickwicks6497]

It will ALWAYS be funny! Watched 3 times in a few hours...🤣 and a hundred before that..

[@abandonthisfate2461]

It is constantly funny, I ever need to have a laugh I know this will deliver every single time

[@thvtsydneylyf3th077]

You're not coming back here, FUCK OFF! 😭😭😭😭

[@CheddarmanGeo]

Watched this like 6 times in the past 3 days. Pure comedy genius.

[@traviche7207]

Same for me, lol. One of their best scenarios.

[@WOOOPdoctorFROGhere]

I love how Bob chuckles just after delivering the bad news that he's not gonna make it in today son, sooo I'll see ya tomorrow alright boy

[@GregKeaton]

WOOOPdoctorFROGhere he’s not chuckling, he’s having a sniff

[@PTp1ranha]

WOOOPdoctorFROGhere He’s done it before.

[@ITILII]

Bob should be sacked right off, the way he calls his boss son, and boy,,,,,one chance !!!!!!

[@shooby9496]

*Sniff*

[@MegaDonGallo]

I so want to sign off a sick call to work with 'Am not gonna make it in today son, so umm... I'll see ya tomorrow, alright boy?!'

[@MarxistKnight]

MegaDonGallo don't forget the sniff!

[@internetexplorer789]

Omfg i shit my pants when he said that

[@MsMorbeg]

Listen to Karl during his xfm days, before he was famous and was very much himself. He isn't pretending, this is him.

[@KAITAKI101]

Still come back to this sketch when I need a laugh. Genius!

[@nefariousnilbog]

same

[@johnnyk427]

Best role player ever. Ricky is having a laugh but Karl is genuinely mad.

[@HTMediaNL]

Love that whenever he gives an example job in whatever situation, it's always a plumbing company.

[@thetributemaster1469]

You know your British when a phone call ends with *FUCK OFF* xD 2:55

[@brujeriadiosa]

LOL or Canadian.

[@iim4xii129]

You know you're not British when your grammar is AIDS.

[@jamieholmes5443]

What's grammer

[@rockerkitch1990]

"She was weak anyway." Karl is the sweetest facist you could ever find.

[@spreadthelove77]

I love knowing he is slowly working himself up to a rage. Rick defo knows how to get the best out of him!

[@ArthurSymington1]

I’ll see ya tmoro. Alright boy? 😂

[@Tess1061]

"One chance." "Well you didn't even give them one chance." "No, cause they've done it before!" lmao

[@pl0xinat0r]

I love how Karl gets so into these Improv sessions. And a U-Bend factory is so true to form.

[@davidandrews3290]

Steve laughing in the background hahaha

[@dukemydogy]

I love the animation! Little things like Karl's eyebrows lowering over his eyes at specific times in relation to the other characters... BRILLIANTLY DONE, Soooo funny! The attention to detail that goes in to the animation is just incredible. That goes for the animated version of Ricky and Stephen as well =)

[@SleekMouse]

He came up with KP Plumbing on the fly like a genius

[@shelbyvillerules9962]

To be fair, I can imagine Karl already daydreaming about owning his own U-Bend company at some point.

[@shanaellis4553]

Sheila’s rant never fails to make me smile. This is one of the best animations of the show. You’re in fucking trouble!

[@ColeMacho]

You can tell when Ricky knows that he's losing an argument when he begins to escalate things.

[@mimsl959]

Ricky G. portrays him in such a shitty way! He's fucking genius! More common sense than most of us!

[@wobbers99]

ricky has told karl many times how much he loves him. That's how bromances work :)

[@alfredhadesworth9253]

A fucking genius? Man doesn't even know that cavemen didn't live with dinosaurs.

[@lance1273]

No one really does either lol

[@AA-fn9xz]

Ricky has actually said loads of times that Karl does have a lot of great insight, but the way he tries to articulate his thoughts makes him sound like an idiot.

[@TheKimdunn]

I love when Karl and Ricky role play.Never knew Karl was a method actor.So serious about it.And so funny.

[@beni6063]

I don’t know what Sheila was hoping to accomplish by swearing at her boss 🤣

[@joey21288]

"You're in fucking trouble then!" I lost it :'-D

[@PaulRaffaelli]

Awesome. I used to work at Xfm and I'm privileged to say Karl was my boss for 7 of those wonderful years. Fortunately it doesn't snow much in London.

[@djb_15]

I love how u can just hear Steve merchant giggling in the back ground!! Hilarious #kpplummin

[@ddstar]

No... because they've done it before.

[@jakehixon4073]

I think this is my all time favourite sequence from the Ricky Gervais show. I come back to it at least once a month to cheer myself up.

[@Bellocks1]

#AlrightBOY

[@returnoftheredeye]

Their instant commitment to hypothetical scenarios is commendable.

[@greenbanana1001]

Deffo my favourite episode it never ever gets old

[@ArthurSymington1]

The best 3 minutes in British comedy, and it’s all improvised, absolutely unbelievable 😂😂

[@TheRealByte]

2:48 I felt so bad for the employee hahahahahaha the animation team did such a great job

[@awinbisa]

I love how legitimate karl sounds as a boss... really good role play.

[@wowman8882]

its funny how ricky's voice matches both the woman and the man

[@potaterjim]

the moral of the story is don't work for Karl

[@Tigerman1138]

potaterjim Moral of the story? Wake up early, shovel, get a snowblower, or call a plow, make sure you have snow tires, and if you cannot do these things talk to Mr. Pilkington in advance for help such as vouchers or pool money with coworkers. There is a term I forget, oh yes “preparation” or understanding “preparedness.” Perhaps one coworker has a stronger vehicle like a truck. Arrange pooling and help with gas or “petrol.” Finally if none of these things really are helping document it with photos and film. See about working from home. Sheila was weak anyway, likely pulled this during s rainstorm too.

[@travisbest9041]

"Just annoys me..." :D

[@CEIServices]

Ring ring! KP plumbing?

[@gowiththeflowbee8053]

The little giggles you can hear in the background from Steve add to this absolute masterpiece

[@gowiththeflowbee8053]

2:53 the best part out of all 3 seasons of TRGS. Gets me every time..

[@withloveslightwings2]

"she's done with, she's weak anyway." LOL

[@truemedia2682]

0:15 I’m not gonna big myself up. Humble genius.

[@runawayplane6166]

“You’re in fucking trouble!”

[@mckill85]

So appropriate with the weather at the moment!!! "So go round to Sheila's and like slag me off an that....but I tell ya what...your not coming back ere...fuck off!" 😂😂😂

[@GBLgaming]

alrightboi

[@REECEM92]

I love how Karl gets so into the scenario and gets angry. 😂 The best part is when he tells Bob to "F**k off" 😂 😂 😂

[@littoww]

I love at 2:35 when Bob says "alright boy" and smiles like KP will understand and it's all good but Karl starts having a go. Idk why something about that little bit of animation makes me laugh

[@polarbear0471]

Ricky:Didnt even give them one chance Karl:cos theyve done it before Wtf how does a person come up with this on the spot 😂

[@placebodomingo3277]

I think I’ve watched this at least once a day for a week now.

[@ChristopherJRobin]

"You're in fucking trouble!"

[@ReelDad.]

"I'm not gonna make it in today son, so ummm I'll see you tomorrow alright boy" *sniff*

[@pieboy6000]

"Fuck off!"

[@BigDaddyDJD]

I love how easily KArl gets into these imaginary scenarios

[@bedmints]

you can hear stephen giggling the entire time when the improv starts

[@robm14]

I love how he invents a previous conversation to enable this little roleplay to be the second one! One chance!

[@pmorgan1980]

"I'm not gonna make it in today, son... so I'll see you tomorrow, alright boy?" *sniff*

[@RadagonTheRed]

He gets so annoyed at a complete fiction 😂

[@TunaWilson]

i love the "right you're fired anyway for that" "YOUR IN FUCKIN TROUBLE THEN" hahaha!

[@tinytripse5]

"i'm not coming in today, son, so i'll see you tomorrow roight boy" lmao

[@iFilipTV]

Ricky shared this on facebook. This is my favorite clip as well. Brilliant.

[@Duskaria]

"No, cause they've done it before" oh god, I'm dieing :')

[@LJBarry1]

One of my favorite Karl moments... Thanks for posting!

[@jacob4690]

So brilliant, you couldn’t even write anything as perfect as this.

[@odinsplaygrounds]

Karl is really good at improv.

[@HeyLaserLips]

I'd find this hilarious if it weren't for the fact I work for a company that would act just like Karl. It's a massive retail company with outlets everywhere and if I can't make it by transport to my usual location I have to walk to my nearest one by foot, even if the snow is 20 feet deep outside. xD

[@budbin]

I love how much he gets into it; the role playing bits are always the best :D

[@JohnTubeChannel]

This is my favourite bit of the podcasts! I've seen it too many times

[@howardmctroy3303]

"They done it before." Karl created lore for these characters.

[@OleVanDole]

I love how they live these scenes!

[@MrQuietKiid]

This is one of my favourites

[@jacobwilde9782]

“Well Shelas just been on” 😂

[@JcraftCharger]

That's gold Jerry, gold

[@watevatube]

I can't stop watching these vids...

[@Mitchie0987]

this is easily my favourite clip

[@Irishperson1]

im in tears hahaha i had to pause to give myself a chance hahaha

[@xNEXTxHEROxPLEASE]

LOOL this is Ricky and Karls favourite clip he put it on twitter.

[@sladey31]

The bit where she rants "my cars snowed in, you're calling me c*nt" make me piss everytime!!

[@iim4xii129]

Best 'fuck off' anybody will ever hear.

[@Ligerpride]

One of my favourite clips from their shows. Superb! "fuccckk off!" haha.

[@aedanrobinson6447]

Classic! Especially on a snow day!

[@reallydumbforeal1]

this is the first one of these Ive seen, and its brilliant. I do love to see Ricky Gervais' face when he laughs, but the cartoon Ricky is almost as good.

[@Butteryjam]

I love how he says fuck off and then the cartoon has such a blank gormless look on his face :D

[@vedicardi]

definitely my favorite bit

[@BoratHIGHFIVE11]

I love KP's commitment to the hypothetical situation,"Alright Bob"

[@mfnpjparty]

"we're all in a bonus 'ere if we get this dun"

[@jaytotheell]

your answer is the most informative one, thanks! now i know.

[@DarkArtistKaiser]

Damn, Karls pretty damn hard for a boss! I loved that he so got into the role, he even imagined another employee already getting one chance.

[@packlimo]

I tell you what, this is most people today!

[@Cusack187]

I want this whole clip as a ring tone or something XD

[@keepitauthenticppl]

i love their role plays

[@JohnTubeChannel]

This is my favourite one
