[@ManMoth]

Hey guys, sorry for pinning this comment on all videos but I want to give you an update on the channel. I've been slowly adding a show archive to the videos including a full transcript added as sub titles and a full track listing (with links to KZbin videos for each track). Pilkipedia archive link has been added as well and I've been having fun illustrating some of KP's best bits, I'm adding these to a shop incase anyone is interested: www.man-moth.com/ It's taking me a while to update the archives, especially as I don't work Mondays so please bear with me as I chip away at it. Lots of love, Man Moth.

I look forward to Ricky's outburst of "OH GOD" when he remembers Karl's present to Suzanne every time.

Haha.. I've been listening to these for years & I still wait in anticipation for Ricky's response ;)

First time I heard it I was listening at work on headphones. Almost fell off my chair.

Re condoms: "It's not that embarrassing, it's really quite sweet" - Ricky buttering Karl up, knowing full well how embarrassing it is.

[@AA-hg5fk]

Meh, not that embarrassing IMO

[@nickgarcia610]

I mean Karl was getting some bootie I don’t know why that’s embarrassing 😂

[@Bevis97]

​@@nickgarcia610 with the woman he'd been living with for 8 years. Yeah I'd hope so... It's a very embarrassing present

[@Nickersons-Theme]

Not sure what episode it is, Karl mentions that they've all been used 😅

[@Cooper1O9O]

Ye Ricky does this countless times across the shows, coercing Karl into saying something or speaking about something. Saying “hang on, what do you mean?!” or “wait, what happened?!”, when he already knows full well. And also getting Karl to swear sometimes by saying “course you can say that”. Ricky was obviously always quite manipulative of Karl anyway. Also, it is embarrassing that he bought Suzanne condoms, and you can tell he knows this, by not wanting to talk about it much, and being annoyed by Suzanne telling Ricky about it, so it begs the question why he did it in the first place! And how they are ‘Suzanne’s present’ I’ll never know! They’re a present for him more!

One of my all-time fave episodes. First show back in the new year and you can tell they're all really up for it. So many classic moments: • Jumbo box of condoms • Do we need ‘em - octopuses • Celebrities as homeless • John’s got a moustache • That’s rickydiculous - honey badger • Aero-cobbler

I love how you hear their friendship grow throughout these shows. They begin as strangers and then they're having Christmas day together. In interviews you can really feel the love between Ricky and Karl, no matter how much he rips the piss out of him.

[@mothmothmanmothman1541]

hearing them all laugh together, Karl included, is a rare heart warming moment in these shows.

[@DDnufcGamer]

smalla ss wheres that from? It seems like Ricky and Steve are friends and work colleagues, whereas Steve and Karl are work colleagues before friends. If you get what I mean. Funnily Karl seems to dislike Steve more than the other way, because for some reason he blames Steve for stuff he does once in a blue moon but doesn't complain that Ricky does it every week xD

[@Ray_D_Tutto]

@@DDnufcGamer Karl and Steve are still close these days. He even visited him when he was in LA. Were as Ricky has distanced himself from both of them.

[@maximumbeans9310]

The only answer I’ve ever thought might be remotely possible is that Karl read about the old Aztec/Incan (can’t remember which) practice of shaping skulls to be flat on their sides and resemble mountains. Still a massive removal from having a flat head in India but no idea what else it could be.
