A compilation of all the best bits from the XFM days highlighting the earlier White Van Karl segments in which Karl goes off on tangents when asked random questions
Yeah I think when they said mogli from jungle book his mind went to mogwai but they were thinking gremlins and confused him. Then he must have forget and thought gremlins lol. All were confused there.
It's always so annoying to me that they think he was asking about the Gremlins from the movie. It was the Mogwai of course. It sounds like Mowgli. And the fact that Ricky and Steve don't know the answer, they automatically default to the fact that Karl is just an idiot. Overall the course of their conversations, they have shown themselves to be ignorant plenty of times.
I find the funniest thing about these three is that Karl is the most likeable and possibly sharpest. It's as Shakespeare said, "better a witty fool, than a foolish wit."
The question about Gremlins was actually fair enough and the answer Ricky and Steve pushed him towards is wrong! The creatures in Gremlins are not actually called gremlins, they're called mogwai.
Yeah and Steve literally just asked him about "Mowgli" in the jungle book, which obviously sparked that thought process, from the rhyming of the words. But yeah them taking the piss then in a later episode hearing that Jane too belittled him for it. Sad really that he got put down so often
Try slowing your playback speed to 75% and you’ll really get a new take on the whole show! It’s like listening to a bunch of stoned buddies talking nonsense while high as Cheech and Chong!😏😜
it always pissed me off that they both belittled karl for getting the name of the gremlins "wrong". he say's "they sounded something like mowgli".they were called "mogwai".he was exactly right but ended up looking like a tit. poor fella.
@@jeremyc9593 Yeah because it's a funny line, though sadly Karl didn't mean it that way (as we well know), and Karl has said way funnier stuff and DID mean it.
Karl says that people with the flu should work through the illness. A year later he missed work because Suzanne was out of town and he wore wet trousers.
It is true, it is called isostatic pressure. The weight of the ice forces the continental plates down, less weight from ice and they will rise as the plates are not fixed and in a perpetual flux.
I remember one of the first shows these three made together. Ricky said he was afraid of making fun of Karl because he seemed like one of those guys who could just pick up a pen and go mental. Man, have times changed?
On the point about 2pac, influencing others to be violent with music and hip hop in general: Karl was absolutely right. It is not that violent music leads the youth culture to become violent - it is we have violent music, as a result of a violent culture and more fundamentally, we are a violent species by our nature. They tried to say the same about Porn and Playboy - Porn and things like Playboy exist because we are a horny species that love sex - not the other way round.
Karl's told the Zoe Harris story in so many different ways I don't even think he himself is sure of how that relationship went.
As many times as I've heard all of these, "ricky just feeds it CHEESE," and "that should be interesting for meatballs" just SLAY me every time!
Don't forget "Man Moths?!?"
I love how much more cheerful karl is in the old XFM days, he even chuckles a bit.
Especially in series 1
I love Ricky's little moans of anticipation when he reckons Karl is about to go off on one...
Love that too 😂
'That should be interesting for meatballs' 😂😂
''If the girlfriend's listening now. Go and have a wash or something.''
I love how it’s confusing and comes across rude when it’s probably just the first thing that came to his head
"I know but I'm using me fables"
Use your brain instead
Jake Jones pretty sure fables are processed in the brain
+Khechari he meant metaphors
+Khechari mindblown
Tyler Pat Bateman Durden this was when Ricky was trying to teach Karl what a fable was.
Karl was thinking of Mogwai.
Yeah I think when they said mogli from jungle book his mind went to mogwai but they were thinking gremlins and confused him. Then he must have forget and thought gremlins lol. All were confused there.
+Jennifer Nahulu thank god for you two Im not the only one who got Karls thought process now I can erase my comment.

Mogwai is also the name of a post-rock band

"Do you ever think it's justifiable to beat up a director if you're a major hollywood star?"
"...Well it depends what he's done"
Best answer ever.
Christopher Janes It depends if he's David O. Russell
@@callum1855 What?
"If it weren't for my dad, i wouldn't be here."
The question about Gremlins was actually fair enough and the answer Ricky and Steve pushed him towards is wrong! The creatures in Gremlins are not actually called gremlins, they're called mogwai.
Haha you're right 😂
Yeah that was annoying that Karl was right.

You’re right! It always annoyed me how they ripped him to shreds over the virtual reality idea when it is now mainstream
What did Jane say?@@DowzerWTP72
"I think Kylie will be a good looking old woman"
He's not wrong
Botox-ed up the wazoo now
Karl's a very spiritual person, I think. He's no nonsense, enjoys little things and sees past the facade.
Agreed.
***** but hes fucking hilarious sometimes some of the stuff he comes out with >_< i love him meeting midgets too pahahah
***** Karl Pilkington is no nonsense? The guy believes everything he hears/reads.
Leon Dawson
Yes, but he keeps his life simple. Don't look at the individual things he says, look at his way of being. No nonsense.
he's definately not a spiritual person, as he often said himself. he likes simple things...when they don't annoy him for some reason
Damn Karl! At it again with the white vans!
man ... MOTHS??
Reading the transcripts to these is like having an acid trip.
Try slowing your playback speed to 75% and you’ll really get a new take on the whole show! It’s like listening to a bunch of stoned buddies talking nonsense while high as Cheech and Chong!😏😜
@todddickinson3262 I did it, and I can practically see the smoke-filled air around them 😂
1:12:35 ( MOTH MAN!!) LOL another karl classic oh man i wish he was my friend there would never be a dull moment
7:39 The things in Gremlins were called Mogwais. That’s why Karl confused the name with Mowgli.
With hot weather.. comes weird spiders, n that..
Eric Viola Always "n that"
26:24 "...while she was off dancing and getting her hole ruined."
Plumface-sama and none of them caught it lmao
wait what? What was that supposed to be... Probably 'dress'. Hole in dress, dress, hole.. easy mistake.
@@Milan_Smidt It's a joke about a girl having her vag pounded until it's ruined, based on the hole in her dress. Double meaning and all that innit'
Drinking game: click around on the video timeline and if you hear rickys laugh, have a shot
Well I have alcohol poisoning now.
Well I have alcohol poisoning now.
LOVE your compilations!! Keep up the good work :)
Literally an amazing hour.
Listened to it many times but never heard that before. Good stuff.
it always pissed me off that they both belittled karl for getting the name of the gremlins "wrong". he say's "they sounded something like mowgli".they were called "mogwai".he was exactly right but ended up looking like a tit. poor fella.
+Jack Morgan To be fair Ricky realises what he means later in the show and corrects himself.
@@LyingSecret Yet he went on Conan and was still saying that Karl forgot what the things in Gremlins were called
@@jeremyc9593 Yeah because it's a funny line, though sadly Karl didn't mean it that way (as we well know), and Karl has said way funnier stuff and DID mean it.
thansk for putting them all together
Karl says that people with the flu should work through the illness. A year later he missed work because Suzanne was out of town and he wore wet trousers.
A ship so big it had rough areas
AN HOUR AND 20 MINUTES?!!
brb getting snacks for this one!
Go and have a wash
Fuck off Lahey
+Jim Lahey
Jesus Lahey!
Did you piss yourself?
Suzanne is a lucky lucky woman.
Listen to these while playing football manager on my day off....heaven!
"I'm using me fables!"
"Use your brain instead"
THANK YOU!!! Thats awesome this!!
1:12:52 "Manmoths" ... so this is where his odd fascination with moths and insects began
After a long ass miserable day this definitely helps
Karl sounds like he's far away from the mic
This is classic.The 'orse in the house,' Meatballs,'Man moths?' Brilliant.
Have so much work to do tonight... these three men will help (:
26:23 Steve said "while she was off dancing and getting her hole ruined?" about Zoey Harris.
I love this
42:35 is one of the most amazing moments of the three
52:16 sainsburys square tins for meatballs
so much comedy gold
30:03 One of the best Karl Pilkington tangents
37:24 I LOVE hearing Karl say the word flutter. _"Floottuh"_
He got me drift into fantasy world with that Jack Daniel's world :D
This makes me cry!
Karl's right about just about everything and nearly always asks the right question.
57:56 "it melts back on again" is so hilariously stupid a statement it's glorious.
Please, please put this back on the radio
" and a bitta pop " hahaha awesome
For someone who's worked in radio for years, Karl doesn't know he has to be close to the mic.
YEAH THANKS THAT WILL HELP THE PEOPLE THAT BROADCAST THIS SHOW IN THE EARLY 2000'S
I nearly died of laughter when he said Man Moths?
I’ve been waiting for the ‘what are those things in Gremlins called’? moment. ‘Oh no’
thank you
I just noticed that and Pissed myself laughing! XD
Creases me every time
54:40 my mam told me one was that big it had rough areas on it - i just spat my drink out all over the screen, too fucking funny
16:28 Karl - "I hate this" lmao
Ricky recalls the Aristotle saying that 'a little knowledge is a dangerous thing' without realising that he frequently included in this group himself.
One of the great moments at 0:52:30
Steve's delivery is perfect.
Frankly, I was dissapointed it wasn't longer.
The things in Gremlins were called Mogwai
+Casey Jaszewski Yes! Thank you
also the name of a great band
New subscriber!
"What were the things in Gremlins called?" 😂 Another classic Karl moment.
It wasn't a stupid question he was thinking of mogwai
Luke Newton Wasn't that just the name of one of them though?! They as a group were called gremlins I think
Callum Bateman
No the species were called mogwai, the name of the main one in the film was Gizmo
cutting the queen mother up OMFG i nearly pissed myself laughing
``- we just found out the people on the toboggan were on crack.''
No no no, this was after I was born lol
It is true, it is called isostatic pressure. The weight of the ice forces the continental plates down, less weight from ice and they will rise as the plates are not fixed and in a perpetual flux.
1:02:32 a GENUINE little joke from the Squozen One there!
I'd love them to do a podcast drunk. haha
"No, what i'm trying to say is"....
Play a record...
Your words, sir.
'That will be interesting for meatballs!!!' also fell on the floor.
I love everything Karl said about the Beckhams. My view exactly.
Going down to woolworths to pop a quid down...the memories...
I remember one of the first shows these three made together. Ricky said he was afraid of making fun of Karl because he seemed like one of those guys who could just pick up a pen and go mental. Man, have times changed?
Gremlins are called Mogwai in their first stage so =P to ricky and stephen
Kellogs 'Space Dust'.
Fucking genius!
2002 eh? trip down memory lane

I think Karl was thinking of Mogui when they were talking about Gremlins but he just couldn't manage to remember.
Ricky's laugh at 20:33
Well happy for it bein tuesday still
I wish they'd remaster this,so Karl is louder and Ricky is quieter.Have to keep turning the volume up and down.
use audio hijack and a compressor. i use it all the time for stuff like this.
He was spot on about kylie
This is evidence of Karl being a frightening genious.
"Too much lying low"
"the white van man in The Sun this week is Herbie Crossman from Harrow in Middlesex"..............."herbiee!"
52:42 Ricky just dying
must see karl's will young face
You do now LOL
The creature's that feature in Gremlins' are called Moguai
45:00 KARL LAUGHS!!
I've actually thought the same thing. I'd guess it's from sunrise until midnight
damn was bang on about kyle and jenny powel
Nice one bud...
" Is it Liam Gallagher is it? ", " Its definitely Liam Gallagher " Lol oh Steve
