Anyone listen to this yet? Is it worth it?

I'm a quarter of the way through and he's saying the exact same things as the other times.

Is he being funny or is he serious?

He's being funny, it's definitely worth it!

It's OK. Makes me miss Ant, he's a way funnier human bean than Ricky. Gervais minus his accent would be far less enthralling.

Yeah, I miss Ant as well - too much. Wish I got into the show when O&A were still together with Patrice :(

Listen to the old radio shows he did on XFM with Karl and Steve, he used to be hilarious!

Ricky gives an update on Karl in this one. It appears that Karl is done with being... a celebrity? Whatever he is he's no longer interested in being in the public eye. Ricky says that Karl bought a house and moved into the country. Presumedly to the house where found the pile of dead flies with the condom on it.

Half and half.

Trump bad, animals live forever and cure cancer, religion is a lie

Did i miss anything?

Nope this is 90% Ricky pontificating about the "craft" of comedy and politics.

The great irony is FUCKING RICKY used to say this when he hosted a radio show -- about celebrities getting involved in politics.

no

Fuck Ricky. This isn't funny or deep or interesting at all.

le god man doesnt exist!

Your opinion isn't surprising given you like Trump. Gervais is absolutely right: people like you and SJWs only like comedians who don't offend their political sensibilities.

This was in top 10% of Jim & Sam interviews.

Oh no

Those chairs look very uncomfortable.

I honestly don't think ricky would be treated in the same way by the show if he was american. Because he has a different accent to you lot you seem to think he's some wise sage when really he's a failed pop star who had to live off his girlfriend for years and has done nothing of note without Stephen Merchant being involved.

Yeah The Office wasn't that big of a show at all was it.

read the last line again

has done nothing of note without Stephen Merchant being involved.

As far as I can remember, the last thing he did with Merchant was Life's Too Short and that was a pile of ol' shite too

The show Extras has some good stuff too.

Yeah, because torrents arent a thing.

If there is one thing poor people know how to do, its steal

It's also something that black people are great at! ;-)

Whoaaaaa look at Mr. I Can Afford HBO over here! I bet you don't even buy the store brand knock off items at the supermarket either!

I grew up with fawkin white boxes in the house.

We could only afford to go skiing in France once a fawkin year!

Ehhhh, that produced the Liam scene where he wanted to get into acting. ... Classic

the only good bits in life's too short was the chegwin, barry from eastenders and les dennis bits but i guess alot of that was lost on a us crowd.

like i know who that is, all those limey bastards all look alike.

Trust me, there is nothing we love more than foreigners critiquing our politics

Reminds me of the show right after Obama election and O&A are trashing France for praising the election. "When was the last time we gave a shit what France had to say about our politics"

We all cringe at the thought of a smug Frenchman talking down to Muricans. But then brits are treated like thespian professors because they they all speak the Kings English, which they evolved from (what is now) American English to feel superior. Totally worked.

Speak for yourself, i can tell the difference between the college-professor brits and the soccer-hooligan brits.

U wot mate? i'll fuckin do ya, c'mon Millwall u cunt!

I just hear a British accent and think they're a faggot.

Samesies

I understand the cockney is of lower stock

I dunno, whoever filled in for Limbaugh today had me in stitches. Rambling on about some Jewish lady that just converted to Islam. He said go find the finest bar in Raqqa or Yemen and see what they think of your little conversion.

Yeah, I've never got that about Americans. I understand if they think someone with a cut-glass RP accent like Christopher Hitchens is automatically smart (he was though), some Brits are also guilty of doing that. But a lot of Americans seem to automatically assume any type of British accent (except Scouse of course) equals a sharp mind with something enlightening to say. Maybe it's Hollywood's fault, so often casting a Brit as the criminal mastermind.

Yes, we all think One Direction must be geniuses. And don't get us started on how brilliant James Corden must be.

You know what I mean, obviously not all Americans think all Brits are smart but there is that stereotype that a lot of Americans (especially women) think a British accent automatically sounds intelligent or sophisticated.

Some people get elevated, but they've got to be somewhat smart to begin with. Like a British scientist would be thought of as maybe more intelligent than an American one. But Russell Brand trying to sound smart when he was over here trying to promote that dumb book just had most people rolling their eyes at his bullshit.

Good, I'm glad to hear it. Can't fucking stand that twat, Brand.

I always think British people are smart because of their accents. I even think black South Africans are smart when I hear them speak. I've got a shittiest accent. Everybody thinks I am from New Orleans when I speak. I have a weird Cajun accent. Even though I am not from Louisiana. I think it comes from being a wigger and trying to speak black for a long time when I was younger. And I moved around a lot and picked up different things.

Because he has a different accent to you lot you seem to think he's some wise sage

We do? I thought we thought he was an annoying fuckass.

Let me take a guess:

"There's no bloo'y god AWHWA HWA HWA HWA 'EH TINKS DERE'S A GOD MAN UP IN THE SKY MUM!"

Didn't know Ricky was Jamaican

De Trout Spinners

AAAAWWWWW HAWHAWHAW 'EH THINKS THERE'S A GAWD INNIT"

GAWD IS DEAD INNIT?

do you cunts let politics affect everything in your life?

"'E SAID DO YOU CUNTS LET POLITICS AFFECT EVERYTHING IN YOUR LIVES HWA HWA HWA HWA HWA HWA!!"

Is Ricky still promoting his alter ego horseshit musician

The audio is very loud sir

Why does no one ask about Steve or Karl? Does Ricky make all interviewers sign a legal agreement ruling them out of discussion?

Also, what a cunt Ricky turned into. Just listen to any of the old XFM shows... back then, yeah he was cocky and arrogant but he was aware of it. Now he thinks he's some sort of new-age philosopher and all-round authority on politics, religion etc... something he relentlessly took the piss out of celebrities for doing back on XFM.

On the Adam Buxton podcast (featuring Louis Theroux) they mentioned a rumour about Ricky being a total diva and having rules about who can approach and talk to him when on set

He also bans chewing gum on the set of his films, such a prima donna.

Sam's metro sexual shoes are enraging

So this was pretty boring eh?

Ricky ,YOUR FAT'S BACK.

jewknowwatimean? jewknowwatimean? jewknowwatimean? jewknowwatimean? jewknowwatimean? jewknowwatimean? jewknowwatimean? jewknowwatimean? jewknowwatimean? jewknowwatimean? jewknowwatimean? jewknowwatimean? jewknowwatimean? jewknowwatimean? jewknowwatimean?

He's being funny, it's definitely worth it!
