Has anyone heard the episode where Karl is talking about giving his girlfriend condoms for xmas, i always crack up when ricky laughs at the fact that Karl says "well its not something you can play with on xmas morning" pmsl what a bunch, they are quite simply comedy geniuses

[ledzepp007]

yeh thats another quality moment, i think that may be on the podcasts rather than the xfm shows?

[borismuller86]

i love it when steve can't get to the end of something, and when he finally does it always makes ricky laugh the hardest.

example: (first words in the morning) "suzanne, did i ever tell you about the immune system?"

[jimmypaddy]

"lets just play a song karl, i don't think even you can top that"

lmao

It's not a square, it's a CUBE

[JOEMACHIN3030]

@xeokym no its steve

[xeokym]

@borismuller86 When Steve? Don't you mean Karl?

[MattUtd]

IS THAT TRUE? IS THAT TRUE!

[jimmyt86able]

Ages ago... Only people with money had drink in or something

[thesunsleeps]

The amount of times Ricky says, "I'm gonna burst!" - if you keep pressing 7 it actually sound like he does!

[lloydduggan92]

Aright? Ya look like Dave 'ill from Slade.

[Udany147]

I think you have to understand that Karl had just been telling his story about the horse in the house - Ricky was already in a "laughing mood"', this story just set him off again.

[ElvisLivesUpstairs]

It would be so funny if everyone laughed like Gervias, he has the best mental laugh ever xD

[jimmyt86able]

Why don't they play the game of swingball?

[jamiebmxrider]

@TehPantheon dont forget fuckin PILKY!

[MrRandleini01]

I die when he hits the floor

[AcTiiVeZz]

@Alfosia If moths had eyes would they be happier? how do they know there not dead? :)

[surfguy87]

@cutes22 There's rarely a joke behind any of their ramblings, which is why it never gets old. To me it's more about the situation/background and motives of what they laugh at. i.e. What lunatic would ever share "..that'd be interesting for meatballs!"

[themaypole]

Best Rick laugh ever, I can't believe Pilkers didn't make him do it xD LOVE YOU ALL

[ToTheTopJohnny]

Look what we can do with science.

[Alfosia]

If you havent got eyes, you shouldnt have wings.

[TehPantheon]

i LOVE that ricky listened to this.

i fuckin love that. that he's going back to his old shit and still finding it funny.

this is unlike any modern comedian. all other comedians do is lose touch with how their comedy was in their 'early years' ie - robin williams, eddie murphy, steve martin, adam sandler, etc ,etc, etc.

not Ricky.

you're my hero gerv. and smerch.

@slannmage

Per KP you should have tried a cold plate - the coldneth doth get rid of the badneth. Or an ashtray if nothing else is around

[alandodd10]

best ever quote from Karl? when Steve told Karl that scientists were considering cloning mammoths, then asked him his opinion, Karl stayed silent for about 7 seconds then said 'Man Moths?'

[sharlenefix]

I was just sat forward letting it drip, to see if it would run out.

[ledzepp007]

@NineInchWilly ahhh, listened to so many now my 'ed's caved in a bit! 

[slannmage]

@mikecullen2008

Go to Pilkipedia, Download List, Series 2, 4th Jan 2003.

Listened to every episode like twenty times over, when I was really ill and felt like I was dying, laughter over these episodes just made me forget about it and be really happy.
