I just realized Karl said "Let me put myself in their shoes...well they haven't got any." Even the subtle bits lol

Don't skip ahead, watch them all in order. Karls diary becomes a weekly thing like monkey news. This show is taken from the hundreds of hours of podcasts and condensed into 22 minutes, these podcasts are 20 years ago up to around 2010. The actual podcasts are comedy gold but the animation in this show adds to them. The banter between all 3 is great and Steve and karl have loads of fights verbally over the years. These podcasts broke world records in downloads.

It really was the first mainstream comedy podcast and one of the first podcasts of any genre. It began in 2005, so 14 years ago rather than 20 but Ricky and Steve originally worked with Karl at XFM starting late in 2001, so they were pretty familiar to XFM listeners in London (and around the UK for those who tuned in via Sky TV) by 2005. Then they went on to record a series of Audiobooks which was really just the easiest way to monetise audio content back then. Those covered a different general topic each time such as Law and Order, Medicine, History, the Arts, etc. All are outstanding and well worth reacting to. Then HBO animated edited version of the podcasts and then went on to animate the audiobooks. HBO did a great job but it’s funny how many little things they got wrong. HBO’s concept of the snack “Munchies” are very different to the Munchies chocolates Karl was referring to. Their XFM shows are easy to find on YT and are hilarious and were the original location for Monkey News and Rockbusters and White Van Karl.

There are hundreds of hours of the radio show from xfm but there arent hundreds of hours of the podcasts, although the podcasts are on average 10 minutes longer than the animated version as they cut things out, probably around 25 hours of podcast content

Watch them all in order, no skipping

3:20 This show (animation) uses the audio from the original podcasts, which started in 2005. The Benjamin Button movie was 2008, but was based on a book written in the 1920s

28:08 Yes! Watch all the episodes, don't skip them. These are great!

I don't think Ricky and Steve get enough credit for what they've done. Created The Office, Extras and this podcast, three of the greatest comedy creations ever

LMFAO!! 'Superman never told Louis" is one of the funniest things I've ever heard.

Karl did indeed come up with his ageing backwards theory before Benjamin Button! He’s an absolute genius 🥳

Benjamin Button was written as a short story in 1922, F Scott Fitzgerald did it first.

Absolutely love Karl. It’s the innocence and how unaware he is of his comedic timing which always makes it 10x funnier. You should check out some of the old XFM tapes on a live stream one day ✌🏼

The earlier XFM radio shows were pure gold

Your laugh is as irresistible as these shows. The two work really well together. Much bromance from the uk.

"Right, you're talking shit!" Always leads to laughs.

Yeah, watch it through, don't skip ahead. Nice react vid, seeing you watch it for the first time is really enjoyable! I've seen this show countless times already, but watching your reactions to it adds some freshness to this gem of a show. Keep posting!

Definitely watch every episode, theres time when they reference things mentioned in past episodes so you dont want to miss anything, youll love it!

thank you so much for the incredibly consistent uploads dude

DO NOT SKIP! Whoever recommends you skip ahead can't be a proper fan, each episode is good (as you are finding out) and as you say they always refer to older episodes you could have missed. This series is saving my quarantine so keep up the good work!

Don’t skip any . Even though I’ve seen all the Idiot Abroads , The Office , Extras , and loads of other things with all these guys in them . Somehow this show passed me by , and I’m loving watching it for the first time with you . Your laugh makes it even better , so I don’t want to skip ahead myself 😂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Great reaction once again ! Look forward to you watching these episode’s so much ! But all your reactions are great as well. Keep up good work 😁

Karl has a beautiful mind 😂 this was before benjamin button and he also described 2 episodes of black mirror long before they were created

Love these reaction videos. They get better and better as the episodes go on and he comes up with more and more ingenious ideas haha!! Keep up the amazing work!

I love when Gervais does this kind of stuff. This is some of the funniest stuff I’ve seen in a while. More like this🤘🏻

As far as I know "waste not, want not" isn't attributed to Franklin. However, the very similar proverb, "a penny saved, is a penny earned" is often attributed to Franklin.

Haha I love your reactions. I've been listening to Ricky, Steve and Karl since their XFM days in 2008. It's gotten me through some tough times honestly. Nothing makes me laugh like listening to these 3. And yes he came up with this before the Banjamin Button movie.

Watch it through. It's a joy watching you react!

I love seeing how much joy Karl's bizarre thoughts and ideas can bring people. I hope you react to Karl's hilarious movie idea in season 2

Great reactions! Please don't skip ahead, you look as if you are enjoying it so much so watch it episode by episode!

Loving re watching these with you dude 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Love these Ricky Gervais show reactions!

It makes me so happy that someone else enjoys this as much as me.

Hey Josh, you should try the moaning of life. It's about Karl Pilkington going around the world, tackling some of life's biggest questions..a really funny episode is his one on happiness..you'll love it!

I say, watch them in order. They definitely get better (I know, doesn’t seem possible) but they’re all really good. Also, I believe Benjamin Button was a book that was made into a movie.

Mr Dilkington. You’re in for a treat.

Definitely watch them in order Josh. Just know we’re here waiting for the next one haha nice one mate

Defo watch these in order they’re great!

Those podcasts and the X-fm stuff before it were some of the funniest stuff I've ever heard.

Great content as always!

Definitely do them all mate! It's good to slowly see how smart Karl actually is and some of the predictions he makes, keep it up!

I’ve laughed so much at these the animation is amazing 😂

The Ricky Gervais show & Karl Pilkington in general made me laugh harder than anything over the years i love this show so much something about the 3 of them is just perfect im glad you get it, for us in the UK its comedy gold and you have 3 Season to watch

Yeah his idea was before the film Benjamin Button

My love of this show brought me to you with the learn English with Ricky Gervais episode. Great stuff

yeah watch in order. great reactions

Great reaction man ! Cant fault any part of it 🔥👊🏽 Also, these podcasts were filmed 3 years before Benjamin button so I'm sure Karl hadn't heard of it... But the book the movie was based on was written in the 1920s or 1930s

Your doing it the right way pal, keep doing them in order 👍

Karl definitely came up with it before the Benjamin button movie. And he came Up with VR before it was a thing

Please, if you're going to watch them anyway please do it in a linear way. Fantastic reactions, love these already!

these are the best kind of reaction videos

I’ve been listening to this trio since 2009 Their podcasts are great, but their radio show on XFM (where they met Karl, who was their producer) is the absolute best because they’re live. Ricky was constantly telling Karl, “You’re an idiot. Play a record.” The radio shows are HYSTERICAL!

I look forward to this everyday tbf

Keep watching them in order bro. It gets better and better

Up north we use that word, for such a small country we are so different from each other XD

what is also interesting is that many of Karls ideas are used in black mirror episodes

Keep these going plz

"Bundled in".

You asking if he came up with the Benjamin Button thing before the movie... You're in for a hell of a ride watching this series, Karl basically accurately predicts several future events, like a quite a lot of them and scarily accurate at times it's well documented and explored and one of the reasons a lot of people actually think he's a genuine genius

Great vid again. Don't jump through. Idiot board is brilliant

My favourite Karl saying is “she was your bog standard old woman“.

Leave it as it is

You should just watch them all in order. Every episode is great. Aside from the Ricky Gervais show, you should watch the video of Karl getting his prostate checked out.

I goto sleep watching these all three of them are great

He came up with it before Benjamin Button. When the film came out he references it in a podcast that he came up with the idea years ago 😂😂

Don't jump ahead, watch them in order. Really loving your reactions, after this do idiot abroad x
