Please tell you have have downloaded this stuff. This stuff is OUTRAGEOUS!!!

You have to pay if you get it from itunes...but if you fish around torrentspy etc... you can get it for free (series 1+2).

It is UNBELIEVABLY funny. The one thing I have got from this show is this:
Ricky Gervais is a pretty funny guy. But I think the key to his success is he surrounds himself by INCREDIBLY funny guys.
Stephen Merchant (co-writer Office+Extras) is funny...and this Karl Pilkington guy is unbelievable!!!

If you love the office, you should already have it. If you like a good laugh (and i'm pretty sure everyone here does) you MUST download this.

Pilkington is a bit of a weird feller. He comments on strange news events and has a few weird working theories.....Here is an example:

This gives the outlines of the conversation...You STILL fishing for a tidbit?

Karl gets confused about history. Ricky and Steve conclude it's because he's thinking of The Flintstones. (9:34)
Ricky and Steve take a break by advertising Extras and Flanimals. (12:37)
Monkey News: The story of a monkey astronaut who controlled a spaceship by taking commands via headphones, and pressing buttons in order to activate a �banana dispenser�. After the mission, the monkey wasn't allowed to go back into space and became depressed. The monkey eventually committed suicide. (13:3Cool
Karl met Derek Acorah the other week and relays a ghost story about a cursed tankard that kills all who touches it. (19:50)

Cheers, man. I love The Office and Extras. Both great shows. Stephen Merchant's character in Extras is funny so I amagine this has got to be good as well. Thanks

You might remember one of my recent avatars:



Khyber, it was either you or MindMeToo who first turned me on to that podcast, so to whoever it was- thanks.

Karl Pilkington says.......






















Jelly fish are made of 97% water.

Add another 3% an just make em water.

Legend.



Also,

Gervais: So how did you and Suzanne (Pilkington's girlfriend) meet?

Karl: Well, we were working together and she lent me 20p for the hot chocolate machine, she never asked for it back, so I thought, she's alright... next thing I know, she's livin with me.
