>it's a Steve gets jealous because Ricky and Karl were hanging out during the week without him episode
Are Steve and ricky even friends? It seems like Steve is always getting fed up with Ricky's constant interjections
>>68090423
I'm not sure he might have just hired him to do all the work

The list could probably go on forever but that's the short of it. He's a piece of shit.

>It's a Ricky and Steve have a falling out and Ricky never writes anything good ever again but is still successful because he's famous, while Steve creates one of the GOAT comedies but it fails because no one knows who he is episode

>>68094039
Yeah but at the end of the day, Steve fucks 10/10 strange while Ricky is stuck with the same mediocre gf he's had for 30 years because he's literally incapable of taking care of himself.
are there any pics of Suzanne?
>>68090378
>it's a Ricky was considered comically obese in 2001 even though his weight then is average today episode
>>68094192
>its a Ricky actually got mistaken for Johnny Vegas once episode
I wonder how karl keeps it together with the amount of shit those 2 throw at him, they dont make fun of him they flat out insult him and put him down at every opportunity, yet Karl never responds with insults himself.
>>68094651
Karl is kind of in his own world, given how detached he seems.
Also he's British so he might just be used to it.

How has Karl not shown up to work one day with a gun. These 2 are such fucking dicks that it actually angers me because there is no 4th voice telling them to fuck up and its just 2 people insulting someone with noone on his side at any point.
>>68095143
To be fair, everyone else is on Karl's side. We all love him.
>>68091461

>>68095346
nope.
>It's a Steve wants to kill all the homeless episode
>>68095484
Steve definitely comes across as a bit of a serial killer sometimes. Mind you, if you looked like that you would be. I guarantee he's stabbed at least one or two homeless guys to death before.
>>68095534
if he didn't get rich I can see him becoming a problem
he was too obsessed with (and unsuccesful at) getting pussy
>>68095445
you and me brother
>>68093779
It's one of the Claire Sturgess episodes without Karl.
Given that the story of how ricky found steve is true, rick is extremely lucky
>>68095484
>its a Steve gets mad cause a homeless guy has a missus and he doesn't episode
Then Karl gets a couple of good dogs in too. He tends to give as good as he gets some times
>>68095346
Literally who?
Are they all still mates? I get the feeling that Ricky is so far up his own arse now that Steve and Karl can't be bothered with him anymore

Alright
has there ever been a confirmed picture of suzanne?
Am I the only one who thinks Karl is autistic? It would make so much sense, he pretty much has all the usual traits.
>>68096489
party balloons filled with semen in an evidence bag
>>68096725
no he talks about autism in an episode in a way that I don't think a guy with autism (unknowingly or otherwise) would talk about it

>>68096617
>karl you idiot, lighthouses are on in the day!
>>68090423
I get the impression they aren't super close friends most likely due to the age difference between them. Ricky's older age makes him often take an alpha male stance towards both Steve and Karl. They aren't equal.
>Its an Americans don't understand British banter and friendly ribbing of your friends thread
Every time.
1. No the radio show wouldn't work without Ricky and Steve
2. Yes Ricky is funny, we as the audience are often laughing with him too, its infectious
3. No Karl isn't right most of the time, he talks utter bollocks the vast majority of the time, and even when he is right is hardly believable because he never has sources
>>68097791
they brought it up on the show that callers were concerned that ricky was bullying him, slapping him, calling him a twat on the air etc
ricky is a bit of a bully, watch 'taping Nigel' - it goes beyond banter.
So, there's this bloke, right? He's a school teacher, and he's into all chemistry and physics an' that. Handing out homework to the kids, drawing... atoms an' that on the blackboard, stuff like that. And he's basically a good bloke, got a wife. His son is disabled and 'e has a baby on the way. Family bloke.
Anyway, he ends up with.. cancer. An' 'e starts doing all this mental stuff, exploding buildings an' that. 'Cause he starts making cocaine and heroin and sellin' it for loads of cash on the side 'cause teachers are never paid enough, yeah?
So he goes to the desert, 'cause he lives in America an' they have deserts where...
He stays near a desert.
One day he heads out with a bunch of metal bits and pieces, and 'e builds a machine gun from scratch in no time flat. You don't see 'im making the bullets but he's a switched-on bloke and 'e knows 'is stuff. Maybe he bought some from a gun shop.
And basically, he ends up putting this big machine gun in his car and when he presses a button on... his key thing. Key fob. And the gun pops up out of the car and it can shoot through walls an' that. Kills a bunch of people.
Basically I think the lesson is "pay teachers more money because they could go mental."
>>68097791
>3. No Karl isn't right most of the time, he talks utter bollocks the vast majority of the time, and even when he is right is hardly believable because he never has sources
This, very much this! Sometimes he's right but the majority of the time it's when he tells a "educational story" of a hairy Chinese kid
>>68097898
Is this something he actually said?
>>68097891
>it goes beyond banter.
nah you just dont have fiends
>>68098124
t. the beta of the group who gets bullied but is in denial
notice how Karl wants nothing to do with Ricky now that he has enough money?
>>68090378
I miss the days of these guys together =[
Any news on new Gervais projects?

Just see his stand up 80% of it is stolen from Karl or Steve

>5 years later, "A World of Tomorrow" by don hertzfeldt is released

Are you fucking kidding me? First of all, you fucking bongs don't know the meaning of ripping on one another until you've come to the US. Second, are you eurotrash faggots this mean and harsh to each other? Yes, you're friends and it's healthy to rip on each other from time to time, but when it becomes only fucking with one "friend" just so the other two can get a kick out of it is one of the scummiest things you can do as a friend.Karl is always rightsee>>68099399

She's still dining out on it 9 years later.
I remember when we had good XFM/Ricky Gervais Show/Idiot Abroad etc. threads. Now it's just a bunch of people crying unironically about Ricky and Steve being "mean" and Karl being the next Plato.

It's the best bits that Americans will get. There are far funnier moments, plus half of Karl's games don't get used. Karl in a Film for example is absolute gold.

It's a Karl spends three thousand on homeless shelters to avoid having to spend 10 seconds bungeeing episode.

Karl was scripted from early season 2, not that it's a bad thing, it was still incredibly funny.

If I remember correctly either the xfm shows or the podcasts are/were available on pilkipedia or their forums.
>>68105726
Forgot to add https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2AObV0heaY just to add some more entertainment.
Also tfw at least twice Ricky and Steve laughed at Karl's film ideas only for movies with the same premises to be made.
>>68104145
>That time Karl mentioned about the lady being afraid of Stephen's face on the train station advertisement, and the quite silence that Steve emitted afterwards
>That time Karl compared Stephen to that mailbox creature from Men in Black 2

>That time Karl asked if Stephen was happier about not having to spend money on valentine's day, or unhappy since he's never gonna get a girl.
Karl was fucking savage sometimes.
