Publisher's Summary

The record-breaking, chart-topping comedy phenomenon returns for a fifth season - all four episodes are here as a single download.

Ricky Gervais, of course, is the award-winning co-creator and star of The Office (upon which the current NBC hit series is based) and HBO's Extras. Steve Merchant, who also stars in Extras, is his long-time creative partner. Karl is a pile of protoplasm that mimics the functions of a human being.

Don't forget to download The Complete First Season , The Complete Second Season, and the The Complete Third Season of the Ricky Gervais Show, plus The Podfather Trilogy - Season 4 of the Ricky Gervais Show.

    "Funny but short"

    I am perhaps spoiled by the length and fairly consistent humour of the first season of the Ricky Gervais podcast. It was quite lengthy, and fairly consistently hilarious.

    To be fair, Season five is definitely funny, and for those who feel bad for Karl from time to time, it is nice to see Ricky and Steven get their share as well.

    Sound quality, as always is excellent. Generally funny content. Karl seems to be getting wiser, which makes him stand up for himself more effectively even if we do miss his riduculously bizarre ideas and assumptions.

    For those who heard all four previous seasons, I would compare it in quality to Season 3, definitely it is better than season 2.

    Perhaps the most telling line, though, comes near the start of the file, when they are having an abortive start to the recording session and after some discussion about whether people should have to pay for such crap (forget the exact quote, might have been "drivel") Karl says something like "don't worry, we'll leave this bit out if we have enough material. If people are hearing this, then it didn't go well".

    I suspect that about summed it up. They got together, had a few laughs, but whatever tensions have been keeping them out of the studio until now must have limited the amount of content generated.

    Well, that's my theory anyway. Can't complain about the price, only a couple of bucks, but definitely not worth an audible credit.

    Anyone who has never heard them before should start with Season 1, it is their best material and is a lot of content for the buck.

    "Great stuff!"

    Inane but hilarious as always. If you are new to The Ricky Gervais Show start with the earlier seasons to get a feel for the format. It started with a podcast so it's not quite like a book-on-tape or a radio show. The worst thing about the show is that there is never enough of it.

    "Laugh Aloud"

    After listening to every podcast these three have recorded I feel like I can almost predict some of their responses. I find myself laughing outloud at some of their bickering and story telling. Well worth a listen.

    "Complete drivel"

    Absolute, complete, non-stop drivel from Fatty, Googly Eyes and Orange Head. EXACTLY as advertised.

    "Their Previous Material Was Slightly Better"
    Any additional comments?

    Although, like the title says, I found this volume of the Ricky Gervais podcasts not quite up to par with their previous material, I still thought it was amazing. Definately worth your money.

    "last and least"
    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

    not especially


    Any additional comments?

    This is the least funny in the Ricky Gervias show series. I have laughed repeatedly at the trilogy, but this one, just wasn't as funny.

    "Strange Program"

    The program is quite different in format from other talk shows. It is too strange for my taste. Too much emphasis on deviant behaviors (alternative life styles), in my opinion.
