The Ricky Gervais Show S3E4: Room 102 Reaction

[@lilme7052]

"Don't be stupid!!"

Will be a pity when you finally run out of Ricky Gervais Shows to react to. Really been enjoying them.

[@GoodDocGonzo]

Maybe they could do the XFM broadcasts in 15-20 minute chunks.

[@dapaintbrush6965]

I hope they don't skip 3 or 4 episodes like someone accidentally did. Because they ain't on the guys ricky gervais channel.

[@derkaiser1306]

theres about 100hrs of XFM shows to get through...plus the 'guide to' series. they could also do 'derek', 'lifes too short', 'moaning of life' and karl's solo TV show 'sick of it'

[@karabradbury6443]

They cheer me up when nothing else does.. I find myself laughing with them and forgetting my problems for 20 mins

[@knittingnickel]

@@derkaiser1306 I do hope they don't fall too deep down a British hole like my dear After Work Reactions. It's a bunch of exclusively British stuff over there now, where the references don't always make sense. Karl's a special case, he's universal! I do like British comedy and British humour, and I'm Canadian - not so far off totally, i'm guessing we're half like the Brits and half like Americans culturally. They made a polite baby! Anyways, I hope the channel does keep more Karl and dabbles in Britain - but stays diverse.

Actually, for the first time, the bit where Karl talks about taking the dictionary with him to a desert island struck me as quite poignant. He's trying to explain that he doesn't feel confident with his vocab and he's opening up a bit, but they(not so much Steve, more Ricky) just shriek at him as though it's the most ridiculous idea to take along the dictionary. Which it clearly isn't: it's a perfectly sensible choice.

[@SirLangsalot]

@@Thetruepianoman From what I can gather, Karl often raises questions over things like "am I in charge on my brain, or is my brain in charge of me". This also raises the philosophical issue of free Will v determinism. Karl says things that make it sound like his 'mind' and maybe the 'mind' of things like his feet and eyes, have their own agency. Ricky believes that there are no souls or spirits or a person controlling everything. The only thing to Ricky that exists is matter. The mind is generated by the brain.

[@effluviah7544]

Oh my god, I think Karl is on to something. Like, a better example is people with depression or anxiety, who genuinely want to do something and have the thought and desire to do it, but then they aren't able to take action and do what they've thought of because of the impact of anxiety/depression on the motivation functions of the brain, or because there are physical effects of anxiety and depression (heart, energy metabolism, etc) which can then cause problems when that person really wants to do something they've thought up, but can't physically do it. Now, I don't think people with mental health problems should be put in the room, but I think that Karl has definitely described this complication of mental health problems in general, or even some conditions like ADHD which cause executive functioning disorder, which is also what Karl seems to be describing here. He's a genius, he just doesn't have a very broad vocabulary or doesn't fully understand the concepts he's stumbled upon or observed independently, so we get comedy gold. Brilliant.

Karl goes with whatever pops into his mind - under the pressure of a question at hand - while on mic. You can tell he used to just defend this notion - whatever it is - and just stick to it and flush it out a bit, while on the spot. This was often the pattern. Slugs were on his mind - so slugs (he actually points this out). This wasn't the 1st time he mentioned slugs. But people with the wrong brain vs job - not that's some wacky Karl for you!!! Many topics that appeared on the animated show were brought up previously on XFM radio shows. But it was all still FREE content coming from the brilliant combo of Steve/Ricky + Karl. If you haven't dug into the XFM material - you've got a treasure trove of content - get on it!

[@SnuggleBunny.]

It’s already been proven that people think in picture, words, colors, concepts…Yet, most people don’t know that, and can’t understand others don’t think like them. So, wanting to take the time on the desert island to educate yourself is ideal. It’s what a lot of people are doing with their time during the pandemic.
