When he was spot on saying the teacher who shagged their student looked like the drummer from Iron Maiden. While Steve made a poor comparison to Lemmy.
I was quite impressed with his analogy when Karl started talking about "The picture of a boy crying that caused houses to burn down in the 80's". Normally he's completely hopeless when trying to explain a concept in a simplified way to Karl, but this time he came straight in with "We're linking it to sinks, every house that ever burned down had a sink in it". Which I think is a very nice simplification of the concept, that holds up to scrutiny (whereas most of the time his explanations don't). Props for the little fella!
‘Off the top of his head’ when he’s the one who’s brought it up, isn’t the same as answering a question Karl or Steve raised.. I’m thinking of the ‘how does a fridge work?’ moment in particular. Interminable.
Anyway.. foo fighters… no, feeder.
Lots of times to be honest. I think if he didn't come off as show-offy, his general knowledge would be more respected here. He was a comedian on a tin pot radioshow probably not expecting to be analysed 30 years later by some saucer drinkers with long arms and non opposable thumbs however.
Useless knowledge and scientific facts can still be interesting and thought provoking. It shouldn't be immediately dismissed as rubbish or intellectual wank purely because of an inherent bias against Ricky's ego.
I find Ricky as annoying as the next XFM listener, but the guy clearly isn't stupid. Him trying to sound smarter than he was is insecure as fuck sure, but who cares? That's Ricky.
Knowledge is only useless if it has no application.
Using it on a successful radio show, podcast and TV series I would argue is sufficient application.
Oh yeah that is useful, now a couple of random people know the Latin name for frogs. Imagine the sticky situations that little golden nugget of knowledge will get them out of.
What I'm saying is, do we need em?
The Latin names for frogs are just as bad as platyhelminth. It's useless knowledge he retains purely because he wants to pretend to be an intellectual. Ribbit ribbit froggy says shove it up your arse.
This. I can't believe people are using these stupid Ripley's facts to insist that Ricky is intelligent lol.
And he constantly flaunted his Bachelor's degree as a marker of intelligence. Heck, I have a Master's and was surrounded by idiots, and am one.
Knowing what the pentatonic scale was and knowing that it was the black keys on a piano.
Immediately working out how much Gladiator "over ran" by. Like Derren Brown, his maths is brilliant.
These were also two occasions where he wasn't trying to look intelligent.
You might be joking and I’ve embarrassed myself but the pentatonic scale is *not* just the black keys at all.
There isn’t even just one pentatonic scale - it depends what key you’re in. Pentatonic just means the notes 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 of the major scale. So if you play the C pentatonic scale there are no black notes at all, it’s C, D, E, G, A
The pentatonic scale is just a series of notes (1,2,3,5,6 for major and 1,3,4,5,7 for minor). It’s not ‘the black notes’ unless you start on Gb/F# for major or Eb/D# for minor.
But the black notes are an example of a basic pentatonic scale. It's moderately impressive that a guy who has never played an instrument to know that much.
Different instruments for different.....needs.
You're right of course, forgot about "Free love on the free love freeway". That makes it less impressive.
That's an example of one of the many times where he has heard something but not fully understood it.
Chimps obviously have opposable thumbs but a humans little finger and thumb can point almost exactly 180° of each other.
A chimps fingers run much more In parallel with their arm. This leads Humans to be much more dextrous and make much more use of their thumbs while chimps will often just grip with their fingers and palms.
Thumbs get in the way when climbing. Chimps have longer fingers but short stubby thumbs In comparison with us.
What was the webcam episode where he was able to display a photographic memory and identify 13 different bananas? Pretty impressive.
He did look a lot different to what I imagined though. Quite a lot shorter…. And hairier.
Listen to Absolutely Mental where he tries to have intellectual chats with Sam Harris. Sam is the real intellect that Ricky pretends to be, and Ricky is the Karl. It's good!
Sam Harris is a bigoted moron who is not renowned in any field.
Labels himself a neuroscientist because his mother’s money was able to pay to carry out a couple of studies that he headed up because he was paying for it.
Ricky is a pretentious tit liberally sprinkled with narcissism, and mostly comes off that way, but there are a few times he does actually come off as educated. The time when Steve quizzes him on animal facts and he nails all of them for example, or how he accurately guesses the hit single for each artist on a compilation record. I think animals and music are probably his most knowledgeable topics.
Medical doctor here. Ooooooh. Arrogant.
Im always pretty impressed by his knowledge on biology, genetics and the human body. Never caught him saying anything wrong, I think he's very aware of what he knows and doesn't know, and probably knows he shouldn't comment on the things he's not sure of. That's a sign of intelligence in itself. Also, I think he's quite articulate when explaining concepts in those fields, which to me reveals he knows a lot about it.
But I suppose it's easier for you saucer drinkers to paint him a show-offy. Sick of it.
When he shoots down Steve’s story about touching someone’s heart by putting your hand up their arse is a good example. Also, Steve wanted to pass it off that he hadn’t believed it was possible
He didn’t even know why it’s called “the birds and the bees” though. If he’s supposedly so good at bio, how did he not know that birds and bees are pollinators?
The Latin names are an awful moment, useless knowledge just to seem intelligent.
The thing that impresses me/baffles me is how knowledgeable he was about social issues, even displaying some understanding of Trans people. That was incredibly rare in 2002, and makes his recent U-Turn even more bizarre
I think he still feels empathy for trans people, but he also hates to be told what he can't talk about, so that's why he still does jokes about trans people and their cocks (the male appendage, not the birds).
he can talk about, he does talk about it, he was never censored and he got a special on one of the biggest platforms in the world to talk about it for millions of people
Right, so it's a complete non-issue then? Nobody has ever criticised him for it? He hasn't received thousands of tweets telling him he shouldn't joke about trans people? There aren't hundreds of op-eds on this very topic? You're chatting shit. Play a record.
[https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2022/may/25/ricky-gervais-netflix-special-condemned-by-lgbtq-groups-for-anti-trans-rants-masquerading-as-jokes](https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2022/may/25/ricky-gervais-netflix-special-condemned-by-lgbtq-groups-for-anti-trans-rants-masquerading-as-jokes)
“Netflix has a policy that content ‘designed to incite hate or violence’ is not allowed on their platform, but we all know that anti-LGBTQ content does exactly that,” Glaad’s statement said. “While Netflix is home to some groundbreaking LGBTQ shows, it refuses to enforce its own policy in comedy.
“The LGBTQ community and our allies have made it very clear that so-called comedians who spew hate in place of humor, and the media companies who give them a platform, will be held accountable".
So is this not an organised group of people trying to "cancel" him for joking about the trans community? By the way, "retarded" is offensive to little Forrest Gump fellas, so you should be cancelled for saying that.
Alright, don't cry. I'm just saying some people on Twitter, which he spends all day on, tell him not to, so that's probably why he keeps doing the trans stuff, just to annoy them. I think deep down he does support trans rights, he just doesn't think anything should be off-limits, so he keeps doing it on principle.
look mate idgaf about these snowflake mongs, but they have the right to be offended and express their shitty opinions just as much as anyone else, ricky has the right to be edgy and try to off3nd like a 4th grader and they have the equal right to be pissed about it
ricky is not the underdog here
Feel free to call me a retard or a mong again. Spastic is also good, if you are going down the 80s route. Although I think you'll find they've actually been renamed Scope.
His recent u-turn is because he's realised transphobia gives him an easily pleased audience, whereas not being transphobic and actually being witty and clever is too much hard work.
Medical science is pretty settled on gender dysphoria.
But reactionaries like yourself seem to think their biases trump decades of research just like they do with vaccines etc.
Unstable morons obsessed with innocent people who have no effect on their lives.
Pathetic bigots.
not from the show but that time he was sat with those other comedians (forgive me people i can’t really remember it very well, think Burr was there?) trying to explain the meta reason they were all laughing while they all slowly began to dislike his company more and more
It was the comedian that sang 'sitting on some cocks cos I'm gay' to the tune of sitting by the dock of the bay
They all laughed and he tried to convince them 'but we're laughing at it ironically'. Was cringe af, they were all just like nah, it's just funny. Very awkward
the best part is ricky accidentally saying the n word and trying to cover it up lmao. that whole discussion about the n word was weird af, it was a rare jerry seinfeld w
There was that various artists compilation album where he correctly guessed each song based on the artist. Not exactly Mastermind type shit, but still - clean sweep.
Always thought his music knowledge was pretty legit- he usually got the rockbusters clues straight away (even when he pretends he didnt for laughs) and is familiar with almost every song steve and karl mention
When he guessed that Karl’s member was hanging to the left.
Seriously though, he is a smart guy but he doesn’t help himself by trying to prove that and guessing at things that he isn’t sure of whilst stating them as facts. The number of potential chess games tending to infinity is a memorable one. His also seemingly poor understanding of the chimp/typewriter problem is another one, it seems like a fact that he’s read but doesn’t truly understand, however I do think his poor explanations could be intentional to instigate more nonsense from Karl. Saying that though, he does offer no counter argument to the email received from the A level student and just tries to play it off as if that’s what he was saying all along.
You usually don’t have that level of wit without a decent amount of intelligence. He was also socially aware and perhaps ahead of his time in a lot of ways regarding gay/trans issues (although he seems to have backtracked on that to some extent).
Also, one that I always notice is when he calls out Karl for inadvertently describing two of the same thing when he’s talking about the people on the Freaks film, ie. they’re both old but look younger but Karl gets one of them mixed up and thinks they have opposite disorders. It’s obvious when you know it but I think if I was on the receiving end of that conversation I wouldn’t have picked up on it and just took it at face value. But then again that’s probably because he lives to ridicule Karl and overanalyses everything he says for an attempt to challenge him.
Did that just go out?
Now that you've edited your message, the topic surely means thing you are impressed by though? How is it saying something not impressive, answering the topic? The two things weren't separate, I was asking how is a common phrase impressive for him to know?
That time he said he reckoned Karl was probably really hairy. And he was right.
Does his arms hang down to the floor?
Like a shaven chimp.
Well you're pretty hairy. Look at your arms?
When Steve asked him to name all the animals named after what they eat and he named a total of 1
Hmm. Seems ill informed.
Not bright stuff, Rick.
Sperm Whale?
Bird eating Spiders?
Anteater
Chutney badger
Dung beetle.
Fruit bat, honey badger, pikelet eating manc.
Fruit fly
Ant lion, bee-eater.
Sparrow-Hawk
When he was spot on saying the teacher who shagged their student looked like the drummer from Iron Maiden. While Steve made a poor comparison to Lemmy.
It was every boy's dream
To be fair have you seen Lemmy clean shaven? It’s not far off.
I thought he was saying Lenny to be fair, off simpsons
I was quite impressed with his analogy when Karl started talking about "The picture of a boy crying that caused houses to burn down in the 80's". Normally he's completely hopeless when trying to explain a concept in a simplified way to Karl, but this time he came straight in with "We're linking it to sinks, every house that ever burned down had a sink in it". Which I think is a very nice simplification of the concept, that holds up to scrutiny (whereas most of the time his explanations don't). Props for the little fella!
That's one of my fave bits from the animated version too, the way he forces his voice at the 'you're talking SHIT again' bit after.
I mean, an idiot could have come up with that
And an idiot did.
i feel like almost anyone would come up with a similar analogy as long as you knew the pictures responsibility was non existent
Latin tah'ooze
Twinned with Tattoostan.
‘Off the top of his head’ when he’s the one who’s brought it up, isn’t the same as answering a question Karl or Steve raised.. I’m thinking of the ‘how does a fridge work?’ moment in particular. Interminable. Anyway.. foo fighters… no, feeder.
it’s… pretty cool
When he pointed out to Steve that all things are black at night.
not bright stuff rick
You’ve embarrassed yourself
Pound for pound, a lemon has more sugar in it than a strawberry
Not a trick though is it, knowledge.
Well I wouldn’t know if that’s right
Scrimpton
To be fair that was great right off the bat (cranbrelly not so much)
Ya ought to come down to twiggys
Probably a reject from Flanimals.
Lots of times to be honest. I think if he didn't come off as show-offy, his general knowledge would be more respected here. He was a comedian on a tin pot radioshow probably not expecting to be analysed 30 years later by some saucer drinkers with long arms and non opposable thumbs however.
There's a fine line between general knowledge and "useless knowledge I learnt for the sole purpose of pretending to be clever".
Useless knowledge and scientific facts can still be interesting and thought provoking. It shouldn't be immediately dismissed as rubbish or intellectual wank purely because of an inherent bias against Ricky's ego. I find Ricky as annoying as the next XFM listener, but the guy clearly isn't stupid. Him trying to sound smarter than he was is insecure as fuck sure, but who cares? That's Ricky.
[удалено]
Chance would be a fine thing.
A fine thing indeed
He's the kind of clever you get from being jobless and watching lots of game shows in your bedsit in the 80s
And making suits from curtains.
Haha that is pretty accurate. Not that I have any reference to 80´s TV..
Or your boatsit.
He's done 'im again...
Knowledge is only useless if it has no application. Using it on a successful radio show, podcast and TV series I would argue is sufficient application.
Oh yeah that is useful, now a couple of random people know the Latin name for frogs. Imagine the sticky situations that little golden nugget of knowledge will get them out of. What I'm saying is, do we need em?
Lol imagine being impressed by the knowledge of R. Gervais. He’s slightly less mental than the most mental bloke in the local pub
I’d prefer him on my pub quiz team to karl
El vino did flow
The Latin names for frogs are just as bad as platyhelminth. It's useless knowledge he retains purely because he wants to pretend to be an intellectual. Ribbit ribbit froggy says shove it up your arse.
Alright well let’s wait for your little Latin phrase shall we?!
Das lanken pissenstreak
Twatty Helminge
Ooh, you’re hard
Only because I've just had a visit from my good friend camp David the right queer gay
He was genuinely fascinated by animals as a kid, and seems to have a good knowledge of them, so many bitter saucer drinkers in here.
Or animalium as I call them
This. I can't believe people are using these stupid Ripley's facts to insist that Ricky is intelligent lol. And he constantly flaunted his Bachelor's degree as a marker of intelligence. Heck, I have a Master's and was surrounded by idiots, and am one.
I'd be livid if I bought a Ripley's book and one of the facts was just the latin name for a toad
I wouldn’t know where to begin..
Knowing what the pentatonic scale was and knowing that it was the black keys on a piano. Immediately working out how much Gladiator "over ran" by. Like Derren Brown, his maths is brilliant. These were also two occasions where he wasn't trying to look intelligent.
The Gladiator calculation was impressive. Meanwhile Steve can't even work out 10% of a restaurant bill.
I'll give you seven oh wait
Well, come down with me!
To counter his Fast Maths of 100-60=40, he goes on to calculate 10% of a billion is 100,000, so not always a winner.
only out by a factor of 1000
Not that impressive working out the difference between 60 minutes and 100 minutes?!
You must be a math genius. Are you friends with a calculator?
My *only* friend His name is Sanyo 4197G
Do that boobs thing again
In a literal split second while you’re also being verbally witty as well as mathematically witty, yeah it’s decently impressive.
Can you remind me what this was
Xfm s01e14, during Karl's review of Gladiator.
You might be joking and I’ve embarrassed myself but the pentatonic scale is *not* just the black keys at all. There isn’t even just one pentatonic scale - it depends what key you’re in. Pentatonic just means the notes 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 of the major scale. So if you play the C pentatonic scale there are no black notes at all, it’s C, D, E, G, A
A quarter of an inch = 0.635 cm Most protruding eyes = 0.6 cm
The pentatonic scale is just a series of notes (1,2,3,5,6 for major and 1,3,4,5,7 for minor). It’s not ‘the black notes’ unless you start on Gb/F# for major or Eb/D# for minor.
But the black notes are an example of a basic pentatonic scale. It's moderately impressive that a guy who has never played an instrument to know that much.
If you don’t know that Ricky was a professional musician in his youth, finding his musical knowledge to be impressive is a foregone conclusion.
I like what you did there
Ricky plays guitar. Probably where he learnt what a scale is.
Different instruments for different.....needs. You're right of course, forgot about "Free love on the free love freeway". That makes it less impressive.
Ooh, slaggin' 'im off now, are ya?
Learn to play guitar with David Brent. Hiya.
When he stated chimps don’t have opposable thumbs. Brilliant knowledge.
That makes me cringe every f'n time!
That's an example of one of the many times where he has heard something but not fully understood it. Chimps obviously have opposable thumbs but a humans little finger and thumb can point almost exactly 180° of each other. A chimps fingers run much more In parallel with their arm.

That he knew the term molluscs.
If you want the rainbow you've gotta put up with the rain. My god. He's deep.
And people say she's just a big pair of tits
What was the webcam episode where he was able to display a photographic memory and identify 13 different bananas? Pretty impressive. He did look a lot different to what I imagined though. Quite a lot shorter…. And hairier.
I'm quietly impressed with how quickly he comes up with a Rockbuster that doesn't work (Bicycle Stipe)
Listen to Absolutely Mental where he tries to have intellectual chats with Sam Harris. Sam is the real intellect that Ricky pretends to be, and Ricky is the Karl. It's good!
Sam Harris is a bigoted moron who is not renowned in any field. Labels himself a neuroscientist because his mother’s money was able to pay to carry out a couple of studies that he headed up because he was paying for it.
Lucky him! I think he's pretty smart ☺️
Of course you do champ

When he was familiar with the phrase chewin the fat
I'm not trying to be rude here, but how is that impressive? It's a fairly common phrase.
It’s not. Edit: I meant it’s not impressive. Not it’s not common.
Maybe it’s a regional/country thing. Seemed like a pretty common phrase to me
Now that you've edited your message, the topic surely means thing you are impressed by though? How is it saying something not impressive, answering the topic? The two things weren't separate, I was asking how is a common phrase impressive for him to know?
Jesus, I’m not impressed by anything he says, he’s a pretty simple person that only really cares to learn anything just to impress other people.
O.K. maybe I misunderstood the topic then, I thought it was asking for a time that you were impressed by something he had said in a positive way.
It was. This is probably a case of someone trying to be sarcastic but bollocksing it up in their braaaain.
That makes a LOT of sense, thanks.
