The Ricky Gervais Show - S3E12 'World Cup'
Added 2025-10-03 16:44:14 +0000 UTCComments
People have probably mentioned lots, including me. But I don't rush to the RGS reactions because, for the past 10 or more years I've listened to them almost nightly when I go to sleep. It sounds weird but I'm not alone in it. It's a weird kinda thing a lot of people do. They had a show on XFM and their own series (the biggest podcast ever when podcasts came out). But yeah, most of the show is taken from those recordings. If you search XFM on youtube, hundreds of thousands of people listen to it regularly.

2025-10-06 19:35:22 +0000 UTCAfter watching this episode I went out into the garden, sat on a chair and attempted to see how much saliva I could drip/drop onto the ground. I gave up after 20 minutes and my wife left me.

2025-10-05 00:47:40 +0000 UTCThese podcasts would've been done whilst an idiot abroad was still being filmed so it's pretty impressive that anyone recognized him at all. He would've only been known as a producer on some radio show and these podcasts which at the time weren't really a thing. In fact I'm sure I've seen somewhere that these three popularized the podcast and made it what it is today.

2025-10-04 13:50:48 +0000 UTCWhen he said ‘Sick of it’ it reminded me of his sitcom of the same name. Yes Karl starred in a sitcom where he played two parts. Himself and his imaginary friend 😊

2025-10-03 22:09:46 +0000 UTCI like how Jess says “literally” just like the famous little ginger kid 😄

2025-10-03 20:24:00 +0000 UTCWasn't this done of sorts, where they had to create the most spit or was it tears 🤣
Dan Anderson
2025-10-03 18:22:08 +0000 UTCBasically it’s like you buying 2 pizzas and only getting charged for 1. He felt guilty and went to pay for the second. But he didn’t in the end because the server didn’t remember him 😆

2025-10-03 18:19:59 +0000 UTCKarl should write for Taskmaster! "Create as much saliva as possible in 15 minutes" I really hope his garden isn't visible from the outside 😆

2025-10-03 17:48:14 +0000 UTCJust looked at Darren Campbell’s instagram and he put up a post ‘TBT I guess its time for me to thank Karl Pilkington for helping me win Olympic Gold... The microscopic part you played was priceless 😂😁👏🏾 🙌🏾’

2025-10-03 17:33:03 +0000 UTCAbsolutely not. There's about 100 better comedies ahead of it in the pecking order.

2025-10-03 17:29:12 +0000 UTCNo they haven't and said the same myself - feels like it would be a good option and only a few series so doesn't drag out.

2025-10-03 17:23:52 +0000 UTCHe got 2 fish and chips one for him one for suzanne only got charged for one

2025-10-03 17:23:46 +0000 UTCHere's a tweet where Darren Campbell 'thanked' Karl for his contribution to his success in winning an Olympic gold - https://x.com/campbelldarren/status/1237995706935369728
Andy
2025-10-03 17:21:21 +0000 UTCKeeping Up Appearances for reactions anyone? Now that Patricia Routledge has sadly passed it seem app to honour Hyacinth Bucket/Bouquet. I feel they'd enjoy the pompousness (is that even a word lol) of her character.
Darci
2025-10-03 17:21:14 +0000 UTCPretty sure that Karl had two portions(perhaps one was Suzanne's) of fish and chips and a tea. He said they 'only took for one' so I take it he was charged for one portion/person, not two. He went back and paid for the second portion, but chose not to mention that he hadn't paid for the cup of tea either - which he deemed to be his 'bonus'.
Andy
2025-10-03 17:15:09 +0000 UTCI kind've agree. I feel this way too about the Ali G show. I didn't mind the Ali G character on the 11 o'clock Show, but the full series gets a but tired. Probably why Sacha Baron Cohen retired him.

2025-10-03 17:10:06 +0000 UTCYour faces when karl talks nonsense you are always trying to understand them. He’s insane.

2025-10-03 17:07:23 +0000 UTCHave they reacted to father TED yet?Because that's another one if that comes up on a poll , I m definitely voting for it.

2025-10-03 17:03:16 +0000 UTCI love Karl.I love ricky , love , mike and jess and I love being a subscriber, and I love being a patrion and I even love this show, but for some reason, I'm over the this show, IM over them reacting to it. It's been too long. I can't wait for them to get their teeth into some other fantastic comedy. That we have over here. It seems like this one has lasted longer than any other. The i.t crowd is my favourite at the moment.Because I know how fantastic that show is , and just gets better and better. I can't wait for work outing episode.I think Jess might have to have a lay Down its so good.
