Ricky Gervais Show; Karls Diary & Monkey news (Chimp Doctors)

[enricoangelojacovell]

6:55 - money now so you can see more bananas !

[ShoeEaterThe2nd]

chimp

cheap

[knightofdreamz]

I remember magazines of the 70s 80s and 90s and i would actually not be surprised one bit if there actually was one of those weird little ads in the back that said "Chimp Doctors".

[boothesquirrel]

So the nurse doesn't let him see the doctor, presumably because he'll find out it's a chimp. Then later when he sees it's a chimp she's nonchalant about it and it was advertised to begin with.

[cabbab666]

...i wanna little bit of idle chimp chat. lol

[lastniterichard]

realises the nurse is a panda cracks me up every time

[SirAlfredSourcock]

I could watch this shit all day.

[vkap77]

@SirAlfredSourcock I generally do...

[SomeMiceDrinkingTea]

poster in the background at 6:37 reads "Money Now So You Can See More Bananas" lol

[SeenItAll94]

1:51 awkward.

[LoveSarcoptesFilms]

watch from 4:19 with captions on. Hilarious.

[JSHEP73]

If Steve laughs... you know it's funny!

[feelerr]

Well, he is a comic genius anyway... without knowing it.

[pacbizkit]

of course chimps have opposable thumbs?! whats ricky on about

[RaptorFag]

"Idle chimp-chat" oh god I can't breath.

[MINDxWORM]

"it's some sort of time thing innit"

[purplestripes20]

the kid looked terrified hahahahahaahahahah

[jerryhello100]

I whistle when I'm bored, or when I feel oppressed. It cheers you up.

[spongebo13]

@jerryhello100 Opressed...or depressed?

[jerryhello100]

@spongebo13 Oppressed by depression; or depressed from oppression. I think oppressed is a better word, because there is a medical/psychological connotation for the word depressed.

[theking24702]

LMFAO HA....HA...HA...

[BasementBeginnings]

Ricky and Steve are incorrect. Chimps do indeed have opposable thumbs.

And at 2:50, Doppelganger is spelled incorrectly as "Doppleganger".

I only watch this show for Karl anyways.

[DantehMan]

@BasementBeginnings You may want to double check that, because I did. "Opposable thumbs are shared by many primates, including most simians, and some prosimians. The climbing and suspensory behaviour in orthograde apes, such as chimpanzees, has resulted in elongated hands while the thumb has remained short. As a result, these primates are unable to perform the pad-to-pad grip associated with opposability."

Chimps have thumbs, but not opposable thumbs.

[peepdeepful]

@BasementBeginnings As far as I´m concerned Doppleganger is a misspelling of the German word but commonly used and acknowledged as well...

[hjenkinz]

@peepdeepful we're more particular in the uk because we still have a lot of the nuances.

[Kokomokox]

@BasementBeginnings You're a twat.

[commieRob]

I would just like to point out that chimps DO have apposeable thumbs.

[AlyBProductions]

if you look at the eye chart it says "Nowyoucanseemorebananas"

[TheJackks]

the 2 ppl were the ducks !

[Tukan777]

Ricky is so annoying in this one. He needs to shut up and let Karl FINISH

[MWcrazyhorse]

@Tukan777 he had guessed it 5 minutes before the finish.

[Vortex289]

@Tukan777 Yeah. He's always interrupting. Karl's the interesting one.

[Squiggy2010]

Biggest load of shit I've ever heard. Lol

[emzknow]

Read the paper at 8:48 "20 Ton tractor for sale, Haul your shit now!"

[NickEBtv]

6:35 sign reads : " Money now so you can see more bananas" lol

[andystaps]

karl said the same sorry about the man on the bike on xfm but it was a women when he said it back then

[TheGambler666]

Ricky's like an old pal of mine who used to find the humour in everything -he was always pissing himself at you lol

[permedmammoth]

a chimps thumb is but a stub in proportion to it's fingers unlike a humans which has a large thumb in relation to its fingers, and while it may technically oppose the fingers it really doesnt allow the grip or precision of a human thumb/finger combo. This is what gervais is implying.

[maniclehedgehog]

@permedmammoth And Steve and Ricky have no ring fingers...

[mashovie]

chimps do have opposable thumbs

[dontchuckitson]

@gregsaan Superb acting I must say!

[colzaidikari]

the problem is that most of us Americans gone to school knowing shiet because of a shiety school system so we could be dumb enough to believe the what the TV says just so the corporations can make hella money off us.

[SharksKid]

@colzaidikari

You must be an economist, lol.

[colzaidikari]

almost all primates have opposable thumbs used for grasping things, especially tree branches, and picking up things. Humans, apes, and most monkeys have this type of thumb.

[variable2102]

4:43

...Fuck I hate living in America.

[5959512]

that was fucking nutts! chimp doctors...

[utdfortreble]

my dad had his eyes done with this doctor. I think karl is getting confused, he is a human but he has that thing like the hairy chinese kids.

[silentEL666]

cant help laughing at the noise ricky makes @ 1:40 after steve said mum! hahaa

[yasminezeidan]

Hahaha that was such a good monkey news jingle!!

[servomoore]

5:36 is where you put on the 3d glasses

[liamcole81]

tvchoicemagazine.co.uk/awards/­2011can people please vote for the ricky gervais show and an idiot abroad, lets get the round headed manc twat karl dilkington an award.

[canto360]

easy mistake

[tropez114]

1:00 to 1:09 LOLOLOL

[Norvolo]

this ... this was a joke. I mean, literally, it has a punch line. That monkey news story is a corny joke told by grandfathers to their grandchildren, who then roll their eyes. Karl probably read it in a dusty old joke book, but in his mind all written publications are as one, so boop, there we go, it's news.

[Gigaspine7]

I like how Karl manages to be completely bland, and yet hilarious at the same time.

[c00t999]

"The Ducks Looked Worried" hahahahahaha priceless !!

[ButcherGod]

<3 4:23

[Denjy123]

the responses from ricky and stephen are just hilarious in all of 'em =L

[celsius233]

Of course chimps have opposable thumbs, Ricky!

[MrJosephjameswood]

@celsius233 they have psuedo-opposable thumbs

[viniciusb]

There are people who can even paint using their feet, so I don't think opposable thumbs are that crucial for precision. Sure, sure it is very important today, but I believe we could have adapted and found ourselves into a similar civilization we live in today. It's amusing to think opposable thumbs were the reason for our "rapid" evolutionary achievements but I think the brain played a much more important part.

[ProgDrummerQ]

@ferretyluv Yes, but I can see my Dr at a moment's notice for urgent medical care, whereas these other countries where there is some sort of government run healthcare, you can wait days if not weeks to see a Dr for a life threatening issue. I'm assuming you want some sort of socialistic health care like in many European countries. The problem with that is, under our current economic model, and size of our nation, it isn't feasible. Please be thankful for what you have, don't get too thirsty.

[ferretyluv]

First of all, doctor's offices in Europe aren't run like free clinics here. You can call a doctor on a weekend if you wanted to. Here, you have to wait for the office to open and then you have to wait for them to set you up an appointment, which with a specialists takes WEEKS. Plus, to even see the specialist, you need a referral. You don't need that in Europe.

Also, Canada's the second largest country on earth. They have free health care. Russia is the largest. They do to.

[ProgDrummerQ]

@ferretyluv Yes, and in Canada, you have to wait a couple of days to see a doctor for a skull fracture. (Been there, seen it.) Plus it isn't free. Nothing is free. They pay into it with their taxes. So you pay more in taxes for a longer wait and for other's injuries. "Here, you have to wait for the office to open and then you have to wait for them to set you up an appointment, which with a specialists takes WEEKS." That is simply not true, Maybe for your, non-emergency appointment.

[ferretyluv]

Yes it is, I have personal experience. I needed to see an ENT badly. It wasn't an emergency, if by emergency you mean I didn't have blood pouring out of my ear, nose and throat. I didn't get an appointment for 2 MONTHS. If I was in Europe, I could have called the doctor at his house, on the weekend, at night, and gotten an appointment for the next day. Here, you can't go until your insurance clears.

No, it's not "free", but you save money on monthly insurance claims, so it makes up for it.

[seekoober]

A cheap-as-chimps doctor!

[ElvisLivesUpstairs]

little fella

[NOBRAINERS]

monkeys do have opposable thumbs



[jimmyPain2121]

@NOBRAINERS chimps aren't monkeys...

[LawsonComedy]

The big bang line was fucking brilliant.

[asgerronholm]

what's he on about - chimps DO have opposable thumbs...

[LawsonComedy]

@asgerronholm yeah they do, but they don't have the precision grip is what I think Ricky meant. A chimp can swing a hammer but it can't work with small tools.

[RiseOfThePro]

@LawsonComedy they seem to pick their noses easily enough.

[SirrSnowman]

"It was him when he was a kid"

"Don't talk shit"

[aimeechav600]

4:00 tbh I wouldn't have been smart enough to think about that ??? Such a legend (:

[JoeyBoyEre]

3:50 i so would have said that at school in science.

[RadicalRhys297]

This reminds me of that story of Sylvester Stallone's mum doing 'blind plastic therapy' or whatever, its exactly the same except with a woman and its PLC not eyes ini?

[Dawnay1983]

Give money now so you can see more bananas ! Haha eye chart :)

[SnorkyO]

This is as good as Clive Warren

[giulianoisthebestyep]

Those ducks looked worried.

[ginnoveffect]

I love how you can just never dissuade Karl from anything.

[TheCGIMaster]

That was a twilight zone episode which I saw once, A man walks down the ally and sees him and his mates when he was younger! :3

[FrangiPaint]

Karl's actually on something about the time thing... I think it happened to a King or a Lord or something like that. He saw himself coming down the road on a horse, then 10 years later he was doing the same thing, recalling what he'd seen years earlier. Died in some war like the same day

[BlackMambaShark]

Ya Ricky, it's a time thing.

[LorrdFfuzyLogik]

I WAS RICKY GERVAIS IN MY FUTURE LIFE.

[BlackMambaShark]

chimps have opposable thumbs.

[kamyou70]

what going on?

[alchemicfanatic]

There's really not much to comment on in this one... Thanks for the upload!

[LowCarbHarry]

lolololololol no comments

[heftigfin]

Tip: Pause at 6:35 and read the text on the wall ;)

[astroclast]

@heftigfin Good eye!

The entire (almost) picture may be seen at 7:36: "Give me money now so you can see more bananas" - birlliant!
