The Ricky Gervais Show/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Karl talking about how he sat in the garden for 15 minutes just drooling on the glass in the Guide to the World Cup.
  • Karl thinking that someday medical science would allow people to be just a "head with a bunch of wires coming out of it" and there should be a TV show about it called Look What We Can Do With Science.
  • "Did I tell you about the immune system?" It takes Steve three tries to get through it without cracking up.
  • Karl telling a story about an old man he was talking to wearing pink shorts while on vacation. Ricky questions why Karl was so focused on the man's shorts, and Karl tries to explain that the man's story was boring and he was trying to focus on something else causing Ricky to crack a few jokes about Karl staring at the man's crotch area. It's one of the few times where Karl actually laughs.
  • Karl's last name (Pilkington) being misspelled as "Dilkington". Ricky's reaction to it is priceless.
  • Stephen's experiences on the beach in Rio, and in the line of a nightclub.
  • The first reading from Karl's diary, when he describes a trip to Gran Canaria.

"Everyone sat and watched one of the local cats lick its bollocks."

  • Karl giving his top 5 predictions of the future in "The Ricky Gervais Guide to... The Future" (also in season 2, episode 8 of the animated series). The predictions are all insane, but Ricky's reactions to them are hilarious themselves. By the time they're halfway through, Ricky is so out of his mind he starts babbling in between fits of laughter.

"I'm gonna die... I'm gonna die... They used to say, an apple a day... keeps the doctor away... THEY USED TO SAAAAAY!! ... They used to say pull your trousers up, now they're saying put them down, you cunt... I've never heard such fucking drivel..."

    • Immediately followed by Ricky falling off his chair.
  • Karl's idea for a movie The Love Of Two Brains starring the non-existent Clive Warren.
  • When talking about a poison dart frog with enough poison in its body to kill a thousand people:

Karl: ...well, who eats frogs?
Stephen: The French!
Ricky: *laughs* and then they go (in terrible French accent) "Sacré bleu! You have killed me and 999 of my friends!"
