Not even sure "twist" is the right word.

I think Karl would have been a great debate team member on the Oxford or Cambridge debate team because he can come up with a reasonable justification for anything.

Which one is the best?

I don't normally go out but it was Friday yesterday and I went down to the pub. It was so loud. My mate Dave called and when I picked up, he couldn't hear me. He couldn't hear me on the phone and I held up the phone so he could hear all the noise in the pub...

I mean if you told someone that and they listened to show they'd go "yeah, you get whats on the tin".

Other than Steve's

>Doesn't that sum up this show, though? Karl's comments, "We don't know much about it." We're still willing to make comments about it, to discuss it in length and possibly make crass jokes, even though we're ill informed as ever.

All very short-lived, except Merchant I guess, but what are the best characters they do?

Ricky's medieval jailor just for the way he slurs "what is it?"

Steve's robot penis doctor, "I'm going to stand behind the machine..." just cause Steve sounds so happy doing it.

Karl's Suzanne's mum "Well, I've been reading..." cause Karl only has ignorance and hate.

It always bothers me when Steve says something, Ricky doesn't jump on his side, and Steve immediately back tracks what he says.

The worst one for me is Karl is talking about Lowery and Ricky mumbles something about the show and Steve says "What do you mean, we're now discussing art!" Ricky mumbles something else and Steve turns it around on Karl "you've taken it all high brow".

He should have just been happy they were discussing something other than gays, monkeys or chinese people.

Stick up for yourself, Smerch, don't let that Gervais bully you.

I've been thinking about how Ricky, like Andy Millman, has always really been interested in fame/success rather than any actual craft or medium. He now seems devoted to comedy like it was a life-long calling, but he didn't really do any comedy until his mid-30s? He certainly didn't do any stand up that I know of before he was already considered "Britain's funniest man".

I'm wondering if the provocateur, edgy, court jester persona was always going to be a part of his public character or did that develop with his interest and success in comedy?

If he had found success as a musician, would he be on social media talking about how pathetic the woke crowd are?

cause mine, probably TV work. And I've met a few celebrities as well.
