XFM The Ricky Gervais Show - S1 E19 - Horse In The House - REACTION!

[@mikeeagle-pb7vb]

Rusty Dog thanks for all the hard work you put into these must take a lot of time and hope you're on the mend.

[@CMDRRustyDog]

Thanks. Yeah they're about 6hrs to make. A decent way to spend some time though.

[@paddaman2003]

Many consider this Karl's greatest story, about the horse in the house.

[@possessedslig]

The first truly great moment imo

[@helvete983]

That story always reminds me of that scene in The Commitments, where the kid is taking the horse up to the apartment in the life. and he explains "The stairs will kill him"

[@drdassler]

Better than Victoria Plum? 🫵😉

[@SaintPhoenixx]

You can tell this is around the time when Ricky and Steve both realise there's so much more to Karl than just being the producer. This episode is almost entirely about Karl, most of the previous ones involve him but he's like the central figure here. And he just stays as part of the show from here.

[@paddaman2003]

@@drdassler well, there's loads but this is a classic one. I loved the RAM pack story and his dad's use of a wheelie bin. Also, the arm wrestle. Too many...

Karl was right about the blinkers. That's what they're called in Britain. The wee orange lights on cars we call indicators.

[@-TheLaughingStock-]

Agreed, Karl is right about a lot of things.

Hot Fuzz - "It's a swan"

[@garethm3242]

"All art is useless". Oscar Wilde created art constantly. This was partially being self-deprecative about himself, but also an observation that we don't make art for a practical utilitarian purposes - rather it serves a wider function. So "useless" in a purely utilitarian purpose. This is what I take from it anyway.

[@garethm3242]

The UB40 story (the guy playing them in the unemployment office as a protest) comes from the band's name. It's named after a benefits form "Unemployment Benefits 40" that you needed to fill in in the UK back in the day to get benefits (what you might call welfare). Apparently the band were mainly unemployed at the time they chose the name.

[@lukem118]

Series 0 is just a random collection of recordings from pre-Karl era (most stuff was lost). Did you know Ricky actually got fired he was so bad 😂😅 They let him back after The Office S1 did well.

[@spacebace]

TBF, Karl said both "dum" and "fok" whilst preparing food with locals.

[@martindunstan8043]

It was hilarious when the penny dropped for him 'ang on,dom fok'🤣🤣👍

[@5hanesBoard]

It blows my mind how much crap people eat, especially when they are in their 40's and 50's. It's no wonder so many of them die of cancer, heart attacks and other serious conditions by the time they reach their 60's and 70's. Clearly many people just don't value themselves.

[@bleepbloop6234]

1:30:40 This quote is from a full page essay at the start of "The Picture of Dorian Gray." You need to read the preceding page of writing to understand the meaning of the final line. It was not meant to be extracted and read in isolation. There's a distinction between "USEless" and "WORTHless." His point is that art is not created to have a USE in the way that a tool does. It's created for its own sake, to stir up feelings, to be beautiful, to give pleasure, but not to be used to achieve some purpose. His explanation: "My dear Sir Art is useless because its aim is simply to create a mood. It is not meant to instruct, or to influence action in any way. It is superbly sterile, and the note of its pleasure is sterility. If the contemplation of a work of art is followed by activity of any kind, the work is either of a very second-rate order, or the spectator has failed to realise the complete artistic impression. A work of art is useless as a flower is useless. A flower blossoms for its own joy. We gain a moment of joy by looking at it. That is all that is to be said about our relations to flowers. Of course man may sell the flower, and so make it useful to him, but this has nothing to do with the flower. It is not part of its essence. It is accidental. It is a misuse. All this is I fear very obscure. But the subject is a long one. Truly yours, Oscar Wilde"

[@electricelectric1500]

I always thought Eric and Ernie was Karl meaning to say Bert and Ernie (and Steve did too apparently).

[@alexp6712]

I also don’t remember him talking any of the local language. He just yelled English words at increasing volume.

[@LowGrav1ty]

Reminds me of Karl Pilkington's famous Songs With a Story 😂 😂

[@SaintPhoenixx]

Happy 30th birthday Mandy! Hope you haven't gone mental.

[@stingersplash]

Karl was talking nonsense though. The foetus had an incomplete brain it wasn't completely empty unlike Karl 😅

[@mikeeagle-pb7vb]

Fontwell Park is the only racecourse in Britain where horses have to use indicators as part of the 'Health and Safety' regulations, negotiating the sharp turns of the figure‐of‐eight course has become more dangerous in recent years and the installation of traffic lights just after the 2 miles 2 furlong marker has helped tremendously.

[@wildwine6400]

Season 0 is a bit of a mess on the uploads. Lot of bits put together, often with bits repeated. There is a lot of it missing too. They did shows before "season 0" but it just doesn't seem to exist, people didnt figure to record it. There are some fun highlights though

[@Chimponaut]

There's also maybe 5-6 weeks of the start of season 1 missing as well.

[@daveangel2991]

re: Things kids believe literally. When I was about seven at my Catholic primary school, we used to watch an educational BBC TV programme called "Maths in a Box", in which kids shrank down into a magic box to do maths lessons (I've just seen that there are episodes on here). At around the same time we were learning about doing our first confessions. The teacher said that to go to confession you went into a small box. I believed that we were going to shrink down into a box, and was obviously disappointed when that didn't happen. Fortunately I hadn't told anyone about what I believed, so I didn't get laughed at.

[@taejasunshine7945]

All art is useless might mean- not everything needs to be useful to be important. A line from a tv-show I watched “I like admiring beautiful things which is always considered a useless thing to do. Like the moon, the stars, flowers, lakes and the wind. Laughter and jokes.”

[@SketchyMagpie]

Totally agree with you RE: chocolate etc being more about habit. I love it, too but have cut out a lot of sugar for various health reasons this year and I found my cravings stopped when I wasn’t having it all the time. Also I could almost SEE the image of a thought bubble appear above your head with the horse with blinkers in it, such was your expression, that was a glorious moment. 😅

[@blackie75]

Ricky was laughing the Michael Stipe picture as he's in the corner and has a light on his head it which fits the lyrics to Losing My Religion, which goes "that's me in the corner, that's me in the spotlight, losing my religion". Also, race horses normally wear what's referred to as "blinkers" to prevent them seeing to the rear, blinders is a less common term.

[@kevintipcorn6787]

Before I saw Karl and had only heard about him, my image of him was a mixture of UK kids TV characters Pob and Bod, with a dash of Charlie Brown.

[@andyb2830]

Not a shock when you first saw him then

[@huaysai]

Thanks for continuing the Karlness. What is it about English funny men and stories about horses in houses? There's Karl Pilkington's here, Bob Mortimer's 'local witches house' and Sean Lock's 'Blue Rat' episode from "15 Storeys High"!

[@Silver_Specter]

7:27 Hilariously just as you looked into the camera my screen went black and white (night time mode) that was terrifying and hilarious

[@AD270479]

At no point did Karl have to speak another language really. Everything he done was prearranged, with ppl who already spoke English. It's not the same as going somewhere on holiday & having to do your own things to get by... Although when in China on S1 E1, he did learn 'dum' & 'fuk.'... And I never watched 'Liquid News' but I'd say it was maybe called that because of the way the news flowed quickly, rather than take the name literally & think it was news about liquids?

[@marryof995]

he also learned that his name in mandarin is pronounced Karla ;)

At this point, Karl is still having fun being on the show and being friends with Ricky & Steve. Things begin to change about halfway thru S2as Ricky winds him up more and more to the point that Karl threatens to leave the show and announces that "I hate him!" in regards to Ricky. Haha

[@Broccoli_Highkicks]

Yes, Junior was sort of a sequel but not a sequel to the movie Twins, with Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito. And yes, part of the plot is that Arnold is pregnant. [Spoiler] Basically, they invent a fertility drug that would minimise the chances of miscarriage, but when they aren't allowed to test it on a human subject, they decide to test it on Arnold to continue their research. They implant an ovum, with the intention of terminating the pregnancy at 3 months, but Arnold becomes so, I guess, overcome with pregnancy hormones, he secretly decides to keep taking the drug. And after 9 months gives birth via C-section. Did I mention it's a comedy? Complete zany nonsense. It was not a hit.

[@SketchyMagpie]

On the subject of repeating great experiences… there’s a brilliant Q&A with Ricky, Karl and Warwick in front of a live audience that you won’t be able to react to because Sky are really tight on the copyright for that one (I tried to upload it for you ages ago and could not do it), but they were asked if Karl and Warwick were good friends now. Karl said that Warwick invited him around for Christmas and he said “… no” (literally the answer he said he gave 😅) because he feels like they’ve had a great experience and there’s no point just going around for a meal because it will be as good as it was, again. It was weird because he was essentially making the exact same arguments as the guy Smerch spoke to in this!

[@grandmaster8316]

The film where Ryan Reynolds was buried was called Buried, and the film with Jodie Foster is Panic Room

[@vomgrady]

I loved that movie but I think you mean the movie Flightplan with Jodie Foster. But you are correct about Panic Room with Kristen Stewart.

Yeah we/they don't say "blinkers" for those flashing lights in UK and Ireland. We say "indicators". Blinkers is correct for horses. Hence the phrase "blinkered" for someone who is narrow/closed- minded (they can only see their own view).

The one time it's used correctly, THAT'S when people have a problem. It's silly. Rusty Dog, feel better soon. It's crazy that someone who was born the day this was aired, April 6, 2002, that person is now 22 years of age. And THAT person could now be a parent. Oh, time. Whether you have fun or not, it flies. Someone please cut time's wings off. "A horse in the house." And then they go "whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa." Good moment for "whoa." Like telling the horse "whoa" for "stop." Or the line "whoa nelly!"

I can't eat huge amounts of chocolate not sure why I just feel the taste kind of overpowers me, too rich, the same with ice cream, can't fathom how some people can eat a whole pint tub in one sitting. My downfall is Biscoff biscuits (Cookies) with gallons of coffee or tea. As for cheese, bearing in mind it's just me and my wife, I'd say we easily go through 2-3kg of cheese a month. Although in Sweden it's kind of a breakfast staple, so it's not like we just snack on it, it is generally part of one of the daily meals. Plus in winter you just cannot beat a cheese toastie.
