Ricky Gervais Show: The Complete First Season

I would recommend this to EVERYBODY that speaks English. It's just about the funniest thing I've ever heard. I listen to it constantly, I know every line, every joke, every word. Awesome Christmas present.

This is jut a fantastic podcats, simple as that. Most of what is talked about is absolute nonsense but its very funny so who cares! Rockbusters is not as funny as monkey news but because it is so stupid it is also funny. Keep it up lads.

Everyone that has listened to this Audiobook or Podcast is fully aware why I have that as my title.

Ricky Gervais, in my opinion, doesn't suit my taste in humour. However, he's come up to the top end of my list with his show, and the brilliant thing about it is that his name is in the title, and all he does is talk to his friends about a certain subject between them.

Now, in that description, it's hard to find where the humour lies, but if you were to give it a chance, you will find that Karl is the real star of this show.
This bald headed Radio Producer, now presenter, broadcaster and author from Manchester has the most unique mind I have ever come to take notice of.
It's as if Homer Simpson was a real person, only even less hair, more brain dead and had a Northern accent to him.

He has some moments where you see where he's coming from and you laugh because you either agree, but pretty much all of the time, you just laugh at these ridiculous things that you're hearing him say.
Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant are there to reflect on Karl's comments and thoughts and just make it as though the three of them were down the pub having a laugh, and that's what this show is all about, three lads having a laugh at the expense of Karl and his wonderful brain machine.

it's quite possible that this is the funniest thing you will ever listen to, in my opinion anyway. ricky gervais, stephen merchant and karl pilkington talking about anything and everything. this may sound boring but it's quite the oposite, i have laughed till ive nearly cried listening to these podcasts. i must have listened to every episode in every series about 20 times and i still never get bored of them. highly recommended.

so good, I have bought all the others in the series since. I am still waiting for more. What a team. I have laughed til I cried and had to lend my ipod to friends, who have since downloaded the series. I have to admit I did feel that Karl was being picked on, but I soon got over that and Steve Merchant often comes to his rescue to let him finish his anecdote.
These are saved as favorites and I still lend my ipod to those who are uninitiated. a must buy

Ricky Gervais and friends are absolutely brilliant! His humour is so basic but right on the button. Anything from their hairstyles to air travel is mentioned and made so funny using Karl Pilkington's ignorance of various topics. It's as if Karl has come from another planet(Planet Zog). Amazing the man is a genius!

What can I say but pure comedy genius?

I love how Ricky, Steve and Karl bounce off each other with such ease and hilarity! For something to tickle me it has to be natural and every-day conversational but with major amounts of random quirk thrown in. This for me hits the perfect spot!



If you love our greatest export - British humour, you'll love this!



My favourite bits are when Ricky just bursts into spontaneous uncontrollable cackling laughter - its so contagious and extremely releasing in an almost healing kind of way.



I love Steve's matter of fact comment and commentary, most of all his densely heavily intense deep dark comedy Bristolian accent! I find that so funny!



And of course best till last - the owner of that perfectly round head, Mr. Pilkington! Karl is the funny for being himself and not even trying. For my money that's pure comedy genius!

I've been a fan of these three since their XFM days. The trouble with listening to this at work, is that it will make me laugh out loud (literally), which gets me some odd looks from co-workers. I really like the chemistry and banter between these three.

Definitely worth a listen. Though I seem to remember these ones were free when they were first released.

I was unsure what this would be like before buying but I don't regret it for a minute, enjoyed it all the way through and very handy for long car journeys.
