At one pomit you can hear ricky almost say "play a record".. i think thats just his default for karls nonsense now

[Chrisv1965]

"What is a freak to you?" ..."Steven Merchant". I realised that only after watching if for the 10th time :)

[James Belbin]

when they're talking about the the old men never eat a twix all i could think about was the songs of phrase karl did of it

[Rory Cox]

Karl Pilkinton is a great act, but it's still an act

Ricky, Steve and Karl repeat the "infinite monkey" problem in the ricky gervais show later on

Brilliant though

[C Whaley]

It always gets me with the infinity thing - why didn't Ricky just tell Karl the monkeys would be pressing random keys on the typewriter, and eventually those random letters would form the words that form Shakespeare.

Then again, we probably wouldn't get the same humour from Karl's brain trying to work it out...

[Led Zeppelin Zozo]

first time i ever saw him - when i bought the 'politics' dvd

ARE YOU HAVING A LAUGH 3:54

[ACombustibleLemon]

Ohhhh ok now I see what you're saying. I actually looked it up on wikipedia and the term that they use is that the monkeys will "almost surely" type the works of shakespeare. It's saying that even though the probability that they do is 1, that doesn't mean that it's impossible for them not to. It's like saying if I pick a random integer out of all integers, the probability I pick 10 is zero, but I could still pick 10. With all that said, Karl is still wrong.

[DukeMcManhands]

what ricky says "if everything is random then they'll eventually type everything" is false, if you interpret this as meaning that with absolute certainty every possible string will occur.

what i mean about infinity is that mathematical statements which use the word "infinity" are only defined in other terms, so that saying something about infinity is really just a figure of speech. e.g. "tends to infinity" really means "grows without bound" really means "eventually exceeds every finite value"
