Ricky Gervais Podcasts ... the Bonus Disc exclusive!
Ricky Gervais. Such a funny guy. For a time I used to think he really was the funniest guy I had ever seen as far as comedy goes. Before that I think John Cleese was my favourite but when Ricky Gervais appeared on the TV screen he really changed things. Well a little. Not much actually. He just did what came naturally and everyone around him changed. They rallied around him, building up hype. As if the media could hardly believe this 'new' comedy that consisted of erm...not much really.
Not in terms of 'TV friendly' comedy. He didn't give them much to go on.
It was just situations; cringe worthy moments; awkward silences and nothing that would look so good on TV at all. Even in early interviews he was such a nice chap. So humble.
Heh.
Think he's changed?
Ever since the podcasts solely consisted of him and Stephen Merchant taking the piss out of Karl I started to wonder if I found him as funny anymore.
I've said it before here but I just wish he would get away from the Karl thing and maybe talk about something else for a change!
These podcasts only run their lifespan because they stopped talking about anything other than the Karl thing and it really is a thin joke. OK it still makes me laugh when Karl says something funny and they howl in the background, but, I would have loved it if they had brought out some of these shows where Ricky and Stephen talked about something and maybe had a bit of a comedy debate...the big topics, religion, science, immortality etc. etc. and yes, even Karl could chip in now and again like he used to before they made him an equal member and he eventually was the only topic!
The conversations they used to have on the XFM shows are absolutely classic and they are the real shows to keep a hold of.
I haven't listened to this yet, just uploaded it fast cos' you asked for it, so maybe I am wrong and this one is a good one.
Still, bring back the old Ricky and Stephen like the XFM days...

What a star! Cheers mate. I hear what you're saying about the Karl thing and am also renewing my acquaintance with the XFM shows. But Karl is funnier than Ricky or Steve in my book so anything that gives him more attention, airtime is alright by me. What i love about the old XFM shows is how you see it dawning on R&S that they couldn't possibly top some of the stuff Karl comes out with - and for Ricky its like he's discovered some lost tribe or something. Missing link, perhaps. Anyhow, even if its 'same old', it'll still probably be more entertaining than anything you can find on the telly.
Thanks again.
P in the 'Hole
yep. I just finished listening to this lot and it really had me in stitches...fuckin' giggling like a schoolgirl I was..heh.
Yet I still thought at times how it would be a bit better if they had done something more than the whole show asking Karl questions.
I agree though - Karl is funnier than they are. Yet when Karl wasn't the main actor it was funnier still, when they did the show and he was always there throwing in comments and answering their questions. It was a better structure I reckon.
what do I know about radio show 'structure' anyway hehe I talk some shit...
I was even so keen to get this that i've gone through the whole rigmarole of getting the separate tracks from (ferchrissakes) megaupload. But beggars definitely can't be. Thanks again.
Did you have a listen to that Skippy EP yet (talking of laffs)??

Hehe..oh the difficulties of downloading single tracks from Megaupload...haha. Well at least you got it in the end.
Erm, I haven't gotten around to the Skippy thing yet..if I haven't been spending hours just laying in friggin bed all day then I have been on the PC just to grab TV shows and go through e-mails and other crap.
To be honest I forgot!
I will listen to it now!
Just got through listening to the RG with my son. My how we laughed. Especially the germ and the bar of chocolate :-@
As for other stuff - in your own time. Good to see you kind of functioning tho. Things have been worse, thats for sure.
Thanks again.

Have you listened to 'The Ricky Gervais Guide to...' audio series? Its five episodes covering 'Medicine' 'Natural History' 'The Arts' 'Philosophy'and 'The English'.
Quite hard to find on the internet so i've had to downloada few from iTunes.
Philosophy is my favourite.
Well worth the cash :D
I think the are bringing a new series this year sometime. Cannot wait.
Thanks for sharin the bonus disk.
