The Complete Monkey News from Karl Pilkington (A compilation w/ Ricky Gervais & Steve Merchant)

[@chrisbelrand2480]

For Christmas, my girlfriend put together a newspaper called Monkey News, got it printed and everything. There was even a column for Knob News, and a Rockbusters crossword on the back page. Best gift I’ve ever had.

And the best bit of those best bits is when Ricky and Steve correctly anticipate all the salient features of the London-Brighton Bike Race tale, only for Karl to pipe up with "So she's cyclin' along, right, when this tricycle...[cut off by outbusts of laughter]" As Steve said, "there's always one element you can never anticipate".

All the while Karl keeps a straight face the whole time not giving Ricky the satisfaction haha. And Steve constantly telling Ricky to "stop let him finish!" 😂 love these videos

[@matthewhendy5785]

I have listened to this more times than I can remember. I never get bored. Cracks me up every time.

[@AllyGatorAnimator]

"What programme is this?" "It's a chat show." "Wh...whose chat show is it?!" "Well it's...it's the monkey's now." Brilliant. Bonus points for Karl hearing Steve suggest Cher was the special guest as a joke, before incorporating her into the story as if it were fact. Definitely one of my favourites.

[@RySLz]

‘Because now the owner of the chimp, wants to enter it into the Tour De France’ even after all the wild shit he comes up with before it’s this that kills me. Genius.

[@chrisevans1310]

Not long got into these podcasts and can’t get enough of Karl genius 😂😂👍

[@ayewhaddupdoe]

I've always thought I just "didn't get" Brit humor. As an American I'm conditioned to think you need to couple your jokes with physical comedy. Then I discovered these three men. Last night I tried to listen to the pod while falling asleep and I was in bed laughing until 4:30am. England, protect these three men at all costs.

[@gman2253]

I recommend the show brass eye its well underrated

[@AA-hg5fk]

Always nice to encounter Americans who are exploring British comedy, glad you like it!

[@i_used_adblock_to_watch_this]

@@AA-hg5fk I'm always under the assumption that most fans of the xfm shows are Americans, now.

Yea I'm from Brooklyn NY and discovered karl from the cartoon on HBO and looked online and found all these clips, I couldn't believe it how funny it was

[@sandwichbreath0]

He speaks, highly educated... photographer

[@williamsmith666]

Oh, Karl...KARL!

[@kitpalmer1583]

best bit is it's true, only bit he got wrong was Koko was a female :')

[@BobbyTMF]

Kit Palmer play a record

[@mjdalicandro]

It's at 15:40 for those looking for it.

[@rrw65]

Koko actually took photos with 35 mm camera, She loved kittens, used sign language to communicate with caretakers, and loved to watch tv. Koko actually answered , in sign language, questions from forums online. Actually met Robin Williams, and when told he had died, cried. R.I.P. Koko.

Years later, I'd give £100 to see video recording of the studio when these guys talked about these monkey news

[@johnraber2486]

Some videos are online

[@AbcDef-zf4gs]

Imagine if the went on a 6 stop tour... like rn. Karl loads up and it's exactly like the podcasts

[@Simon-fr4ts]

1:53:08 was gold. Steve proper laughed out loud, not his usual chuckle.

[@JD-pi2ce]

Somethings said.

[@peterbach1126]

23:47 love how karl just changed the story a bit xD so the monkey still ends up robbing the bank xD hahaa

[@Etop05]

1:55:08 The ”Cardgame”-story is easly one of my favourites mainly because of Stephens question at the end 😂💀

[@emmajones9391]

The one that gets me is the dark shadow on the road that started causing trouble by pushing over bikes. I can’t think of it without laughing!

[@danielreeve1433]

45:10 you can TELL that pissed Steve off so badly 😂

Nearly 200 minutes of absolute twaddle

The funny thing about Karl’s monkey news is that a lot of them are true but he usually mixes the story up and makes up the details as he goes along.

[@nathanpapp432]

He reads the headline, looks at the pictures then makes up the rest.

[@robertsmith9076]

I hate to say it but Karl isn't right in the head .

He did explore that scary inn his mate worked at, where he found that pile of flies with a condom stuck on top.

“He drove to Spain!?” “It was an automatic.”

Karl's three foolproof answers when faced with irrefutable evidence that he's talking bollocks: "It was ages ago" "The story's nearly finished" "Weird init?"

"It's all there."

Absolutely love the way Karl describes his stories and the way Steve tries to mediate the two of them funny

I love how Karl prefaces so many stories with “Normal fella, nothing wrong with him” or “lovely day, nice weather an’ that”

Yes definitely, without Steve, Ricky would have just gone mental at Karl for being so stupid and the feature would have been binned
