Keeping with monkey theme,

I honoustly don't understand the ricky gervais show.

Steph Merchant and Ricky Gervais talk to their producer Karl Pilkington, who happens to be either insane or spectacularly dense.

Ricky has sworn blind in loads of interviews tha the stuff Karl says is stuff he actually believes and not just stuff written down, but people still say that Pilkington is a fictional person.

To which Merchant and Gervias responded: "If he wasn't a real person, do you really think that we'd be wasting him on a podcast?".

They then animated the podcast conversations, because they're funny.

This is another good one,

what the hell is even happening in this thread

No but you see, it isn't. It's just some blokes talking and then the bare minimum of animation thrown over it and I can honoustly not fathom why this got greenlit. He's a nice guy, Ricky Gervais he is, but this is just kind of.. it doesnt need to exist?

I would have preferred if they actually got Gervais, Merchant and Pilkington in a room to record new conversations, instead of rehashing the same material from their older podcasts. Then again from what I've heard Karl is somewhat reluctant to step into the limelight again.

Would you say the show is cruel, at all?

Ehhh, I guess it is. Ricky does loudly call him an idiot at least several times during each episode.

And they seem to have several years worth of material to work from, so it's not exactly going to run out as far as I know.

Can't find the original podcast though, just Pilkington's own one and an excerpt one that includes sections of the conversations.

And I think that they animated it so they could stick it on tv, as I don't think that they recorded them just talking into the studio when they made the original ones. They're just as funny withouth the animation, but the cartoons are good for highlighting whatever weird thing he just said.

For example,


It's kind of weird actually. It's a podcast with some people from Reading, Bristol and Manchester with a very British sense of humour, yet it's HBO that turned it on a tv show. Dunno how well it translates though.

If you go down in the woods today, you're sure for a big surprise


Last part's actually kinda sad though.

Presumably they were giving the bears pot.

That's actually funny because the article also speculates on this fact if you had read it!

also, "destroyed"? go fuck yourself.

I have a car!!

Feeding the animal is abuse, killing them is the true animal lover decision.

Feeding the animal takes away its ability to forage on its own as well as its fear of people. It usually ends up starving to death, mauling someone, or experiencing a massive population boom that completely wrecks the local ecosystem, at which point it starves to death.

Don't feed wild animals ever.

I'd argue that a bear you've tamed and possibly drugged to guard your pot forest is not technically wild. It's dangerous and possibly criminal but it's also the best pet ever.

Drugging the bear probably would have been a boon for this guy.

Or maybe just not working for a guy who kept massive natural killing machines as pets in the first place.

lol broken code

Okay, fixed.

Having a systems administrator for a brother, who is willing to fix your totally fucked laptop for free, is totally fucking awesome.

Woah this is really cool! It got cooler when I watched the other video where he can't really control it at all. They were uploaded a couple weeks apart and during that time Robert Schneider has become a zen master.

EDIT: Unless this is some sort of elaborate hoax, in which case lol oops
