[@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.

[@markbeavan6817]

Ooo the rest of this run around has a fun little bonus. Man Moth, is the shit. Lots of love, us all.

There's some uploaders who pack ad breaks into these episodes to make money. Thanks for giving it to us straight manmoth!

[@kinganimal3075]

I just came from a XFM video that had, no-bullshit, 28 adds. Admittedly the video was about 4 hours long but 28 fucking adds? That's pure greed, all they did was upload someone elses content.

[@Sheriff_GrimLaw]

King Animal Advertising is fucking disgusting. x

[@triambakkala1956]

id tolerate 28 ads to hear Karls 'Alright', steves 'sure, sure, sure . . .' and rickys laugh

I love KP's appreciation of Lowry, but SM's quip, "you were looking out the window" was very funny.

Oh man we can edit songs back into episodes and it'll feel like the real thing! I'm just obsessed enough to consider doing that. Good work!

[@omikronweapon]

wow, I thought *I* was obsessed by just doing *this* :P just kidding, glad you appreciate it. I *really* don't want to rain on your parade, but editing music back in is probably a big risk for getting them taken down for copyright infringement. :( I warn everyone against uploading episodes with music in, at least to KZbin, we don't want this stuff blacklisted en masse. You're 'free' to do what you want on your own pc though, obviously ;) All you'd need then is one of them little Rainman-fellas or Forrest-Gumps that remembers all the ads and you're laughing :P

I love industrial England scenes, so this Lowry stuff is perfect. Thanks again, Mr. Pilkington! And Man Moth!

[@alandodd3184]

heyyyyyy as Steve would say. I'm back around again. I hope I'm not alone in doing these loops

[@jasoneaton4520]

I must do a loop every 4 to 6 months...cause l see a comment of mine from time to time 4, 6, 8 or 12 months ago....even 2 years....and l think l listened way before that too.

[@jenanahulu]

I can't count how many times now but I have been looping round for 2 years.

[@HopeVJustice]

"I knew it wouldn't take a while, to come back around!"

[@FIFA09King]

Here we are again aha

[@ejayman]

Been looping since somewhere around 2012. Don’t know how I survived before

[@alyhall4986]

They wouldn’t ever have dreamed or even cared that soooo many years later there’s a community of people loving and sharing these shows.

[@ShoeLube]

How many shows did they start with that Feeder song? So far, it's pretty much been every one of the second series.

[@MrSahirB]

ShoeLube i kept thinking i was listening to the same episode!

[@ShoeLube]

I know, they can't get enough of Feeder.

[@midget1on1a1piecycle]

Crom haha I thought that exact thing about 5 seconds before reading these comments. I also love the ones where ricky is just casually like "P.I.M.P, 50 cent. Ricky gervais..."

[@mattving61]

Agreed!

[@brian2885]

ShoeLube most of these songs were probably forced on them by XFM. i found an xfm compilation album from 2002 and it has all this stuff on there. Black rebel motorcycle club, turin brakes etc. All the older stuff was probably chosen by Ricky and Steve tho

[@johny_e_gaming1244]

"...disabled people walking about" "That's not real then" 😂

Might not be a popular opinion but I like Steve just as much as Ricky and Karl

[@robertcapelluto8382]

It blows my mind that karl is 29 in this episode. It seems like he should either be 40 or 14....

I love how at 12:23 Steve says "Let's... Let's uh.... Yeah Rick should get some of that" all nervously to take the attention off of him for the eyes popping out comment LMFAO

[@kraken589]

Louie Cafarella in one of the podcasts Ricky says that since Karl isn’t working he has a lot of time on his hands and has more time to focus on his weird thoughts. I kinda buy into that because he seems weirder by the time of the podcasts. In season 1 of the xfm show he actually seems genuinely happy.

[@alandodd3184]

I love these. on loop for the twentieth time for all these, the guide to's, podcasts and specials. should just be called 'fats waller'

[@chrisjdgrady]

“That’s not real then.” Low key funniest line of the whole series.

I actually think Sympathy for the Devil was a very good clue/answer. Ricky is just annoyed that he didn't win

I love the fact that Karl can’t even articulate the tense of his clue and is getting angry. “Why did he take him to the doctor”does not lead to the answer ‘sympathy for the devil’

[@slipknuts]

The feet for hands conversation had me belly laughing. I love these 3 blokes

[@sobchak1]

Think i've listened to these shows for about 10 times, but it's the first time i realise Gervais unintentionally 'helps' Steve in getting the right answer, by saying the word 'for' (thinking out loud) EXACTLY after Steve said 'devil'. In any kind of guessing game/brainstorming/creative process, such an association of words works wonders :) and you can see Steve gets it immediately.
