Ricky Gervais Show: The Complete First Season

this audiobook is hilarious! I was listening to it while walking home from work and I had to turn it off! I was laughing soo loud I thought people would think I was crazy. Definitely worth checking out :)

I don't think I've ever laughed so hard for so long in my entire life! Off the wall and completely mad, Karl Pilkington's unique perspective on various topics is not only mind-boggling, but laugh out loud funny! Silly, ridiculous, and utterly entertaining, the Ricky Gervais Show is brilliant! I was completely won over.

Simply put, the ratio of gut busting laughs to dollars spent is far greater than any other podcast/audiobook I have ever purchase. This is $5 you'll never regret spending. Karl is a force of nature!!!

I actually laughed outloud. Where Ricky and Steve (creator's of the office) found their co-host Carl Pllkington is unclear, I am never sure if he is serious or not, I do know that the three of them having a conversation is one of the funniest things I have heard in a long time. Gervais gets a bit loud at times, and a bit harsh with Carl. Really great stuff...

People kept looking at me on the subway each time I started to laugh. I could not hold it in!

This program is simple fun at a great price. It's much like listening to your favorite disc jockeys carry on without commercials or songs to interrupt the banter.

Ricky, Steven and Carl report and debate the merits of everything from world news and scientific research to sucking up to program sponsors. "Monkey News" tends to be a favorite topic, including whether a NASA chimp would be plunged into suicidal depression after being replaced by human astronauts. If contemplating such off the wall issues sounds fun, you've come to the right place.

While there are a few explicit terms thrown around, this show is by no means as explicit as a Howard Stern Episode. (Think more of the irreverance of a Monty Python show.) If anything, this program reminds you of the sheer joy of brainstorming, a good argument and solving the world's problems over a cold beer.

There are lulls in the laughs, but that's a good thing because my bladder can only hold so much.

Although it'd be nice if things could be so funny without someone being made fun of, and I sometimes wonder if I shouldn't be feeling sorry for Karl, I'd give my left one to a crazed chimpanzee to get in there with Steve and Rick for a bash at Karl.

I drive to work wishing that I had more than a 30 minute commute and that the first season would last me more than a workweek. I had to get the next seasons just to keep laughing my way into work.

I highly recommend it for those who like to listen to funny people ramble.

I found this and the other 2 series mostly hilarious, apart from sometimes getting irritated by the way Gervais is so screechingly arrogant. But Karl is wonderful to listen too...far too funny to be for real. His simplistic attitude to life and technology is hilariously refreshing...for example, his assumption that lawyers in the UK wear wigs in court as disguises.
If you don't find humor in the absurd, then Karl's very British attitudes are probably not going to have you laughing out loud. I personally can't get enough ofit, and would gladly pay for many more series!

Being a great fan of The Office, I expected this audiobook of podcasts to be quirky and funny. Instead we have inane chit chat between the three, and it's actually hard to believe that Karl can be so ignorant, stupid and lacklustre. Nothing is helped by the continual background scathing cackle at Karls' expense from Ricky. Expected a belly laugh, but just got a BIG YAWN, hardly even raised a smile. Ho-hum and boring, don't waste your money.

I gained a whole new appreciation of Ricky Gervais after listening to this....ended up heading to blockbuster and rented out all his stand up dvd's funny funny guy!
