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.

"Addictive"
Great fun. I listen to these podcasts more than anything else on my ipod. Ricky, Steve and Karl have captured my funny bone.
"Consistently entertaining and enjoyable"
This season is every bit as great as the others. If you love listening to this laughable trio, you'll find a lot to like with this season.
My only concern is that the quality of the audio for this season isn't up to the standards of the others. I hope that Audible releases an Enhanced version at some point.
"Just not that funny"
This show is a one-trick pony with a deadpan guy and two laughers. The deadpan voice is quiet, while the laughing is loud. You have to constantly change your iPod volume to hear the one and tolerate the other.
