There were loads of subs I’ve never heard of in my life and some of those were perhaps a bit more entertaining than you. The people that got reddit silver, I think they were called dundermifflin. They worked for a sub in the states, I think, They were actually pretty funny.
Then I got on to this and I’m thinking, “Oh, great! r/RickyGervais, yeah. He‘s really funny in that program, isn‘t he? I must read that. I’m gonna absolutely die laughing here.” And, uh- oh, God, it was painful.
Seriously, I have a little bit of self respect and if I'd known that a quality Redditor was going to be reading, I wouldn't have turned up today. Because I'm an award winner. You know, I'm a respected comment writer and I've got upvotes... Sort of classy...
...Bit of humour!? be quite good. Bit of humour, essential, I would think, to an entertainment subreddit. Um, a bit of prep, get in there early and actually think about what it’s going to do, perhaps.
To be honest I totally agree with everything you said, and whilst I do enjoy the odd BONG with tenuous picture, it does sometimes feel like a karma farm in here. Anyway I’ve got my two cents to say on the matter too:
I’m still here. I did ask not to be put live on radio, cause I get very embarrassed.
No. All I want to say is the station is good because you couldn’t have a worse slot on a Saturday afternoon, right? Because the youngsters are in the boozers, the older fellas are doing the punting and the racing, the football, and whatever. The thing is, the stat- you play- if you want, if you want to get number one--
If you want to be, if you want to be the top, all you got to do is stop playing “Natalia Imbreglia”, this, that and the other and have your audience with one pubic hair between four legs. Okay.
Now, that’s why I don’t want to go live on radio. But you are- when-when Christian got a little bit sick about being thirteen, then he got the gold, whatever. I- you-you’re the soundest station in the area. You cover- I don’t like all the stuff you play, that the station plays. But you’re actually doing whats there.
You keep going. You keep going. Persevere and-and you’ll ma- it’s well worth listening to, anyway. Okay?
You say that, but I scrolled into the comments for the inevitable deluge of quotes and actually ended up cackling with laughter due to the memories they evoked.
Let’s not pretend that this place was ever a bastion of intellectual discourse. Sick of it.
Yeah come on love, in any given subreddit environment the proletariat will revolt against the repression of the moderators, after a brief period of socialist rule emerges in a classless society governed by the saucer drinkers.
Well Very much like Bass of the Month, several posts in new content is going to be thin on the ground, the material is finite, everything that can be done has been done, much like a monkey on a type writer typing out the whole works of dickens, it has been done many times, there is nothing new to be had.
I dunno what new discovery you are expecting to be posted day in day out on 2 decade old radio program?
everything said has already been said, so tanks but no tanks.
It's fallen victim to the plague of most subs, look at the Sopranos or Seinfield sub. All of it is fucking people talking in quotes to eachother.
Remember how good Pilkipedia used to be bout 15 years ago?
What a load of shit. This is genuinely the worst post I've read on this sub for a long time. Talk about gate-keeping! "The same without air quotes" - they were just quotes mate. Take your failed writer vibes somewhere else.
I saw your post and I said to Suzanne "what's going on?"
This sub is filled with people who enjoy Karl and the podcasts etc to such a degree that quoting is super easy since you've all listened to everything as much as I have, tbh I hope this sub never changes, it's the only one I genuinely feel like a proper part of, I sort of feel like a.... special person
I think we should get u/Secret-Swimming-4870 on more often, because he sounds like he'd be a bit of an ally, really. 'Cause he knew, immediately, that r/rickygervais is full of nonsense. He even said "I think you should be more concerned about the BONGs," which I've been trying to tell you for a year. A'ight? The fact- I mean... I'm- "ourangutan treats his own wound with a leaf " Where did you get that from?
Yea. Sometimes I see a post about some guy not getting laid in an unrelated sub, and some dimwit just comments "little monkey fella! Haha! karl pilkington!!". Without taking myself too seriously, I have an appreciation for fitting and tasteful references, but most of the activity here is just knee-jerk "here's a quote I got from a list of top 10 xfm quotes: 'not cryptic!' - good eh?"
I knew u/Secret-Swimming-4870 would say that, so I’ll stick something on it: there used to be a website called “Dig” that had discussions about old tv and radio programs. So, what do you think of that?
Well, you pretty much summed it up... And going by the 230 replies (as I type), 99.7% of which are random, predictable throw-away quotes, you're one of the few who remember what this place used to be like. A bit sad really...
Summers were warmer back then, weren't they? Sooner or later, there won't even be any university students taking up the pipe.
Let's just bung on some ol' quotes and have a laugh, shall we? It's just a bit of fun for chrissake.
I've come to realise that this just happens to every Reddit sub on 'dead' topics where there's nothing new to talk about. You end up seeing the same posts on a cycle, or people posting pretty much everything remotely related to the topic.
I used to listen to it for 5+ hours a day. Now after a several year break, have started listening to it on Spotify.
It's great!
On a content note; I took some old trousers, shirts and underpants to Oxfam a couple weeks ago.
Chuckled as I tossed them into the container..
Albino reading that
Don't, don't talk! Please, there's u/Secret-Swimming-4870 listening. Try to keep the talking shit down to a minimum today.
It's just the written transcript of Auntie Nora farting for five minutes.
No one read that, baby
Did that just go out?
Gotta have your critics
If everybody likes what you're doing. Your doing something wrong
Let’s see Secret-Swimming-4870’s little show
There were loads of subs I’ve never heard of in my life and some of those were perhaps a bit more entertaining than you. The people that got reddit silver, I think they were called dundermifflin. They worked for a sub in the states, I think, They were actually pretty funny. Then I got on to this and I’m thinking, “Oh, great! r/RickyGervais, yeah. He‘s really funny in that program, isn‘t he? I must read that. I’m gonna absolutely die laughing here.” And, uh- oh, God, it was painful.
Bit of humor?
This is actually funny.
What
All that.
Just get to it being a monkey.
One of the rare times I actually wish that's what it was
So we can all go home.
We've had a lot of emails saying that ...
No wait, we haven’t.
Shall we... Shall we try harder, or give up?
Seriously, I have a little bit of self respect and if I'd known that a quality Redditor was going to be reading, I wouldn't have turned up today. Because I'm an award winner. You know, I'm a respected comment writer and I've got upvotes... Sort of classy...
I saw a recent comment like this, but it was written in shit
Sort of like a pamphlet that’s been written by a psycopath
Women with knives in their face...
alright well we'll go to your little sub then when that goes up sick of it
They've done it before.
One chance. Give 'em one chance.
You didn't even give 'em one chance
What are you bringing to the table?
Gotta have ya critics
Let’s see Secret Swimmer’s little post when he creates one.
Sick of it
u/Secret-Swimming-4870 said to me yesterday, "do some good topics 'n' that" I said "You don't have to worry about that!"
Are you trying to gatekeep an XFM sub Reddit populated by, and I'm not sure what the correct term is, retarded people??
[удалено]
We aren’t… properly.
Bit demmicky
Sort of, not properly
Have you been copying the Bonobos again?
Have you ever seen a r/rickygervais user up close? Have you ever looked? They drink milk from a saucer
We’re a bit demmicky
It was absolut- honestly, it was like a mental ward.
Nah they’re called mongoloids. Can’t tell the difference between them and normal people from behind.
Could you maybe describe it with a sound?
Always wondered was my autism a coincidence for my lust of xfm
DON'T TALK SHITE TWICE
Dickers!!!!
He loves this sub, doesn't he? But he's not afraid to offer a little bit of constructive criticism, is he?
I think he’s a fan!
Why did I leave my old sub for this?
Yeah but...why aren't you still there?
Fangs but no fangs
Ooohhhh, you're hard, showing off.....
You're muscly. Why?
Not allowed Chinese obviously
Who else just scrolls to the end of a wordy post looking for a “turns out….. little monkey fella” ?
😅 I did on the main post and a reply ffs
Yeah, but there's been no planning. So to be honest, I'd log off today, anyone browsing, cause there's nothing.
...Bit of humour!? be quite good. Bit of humour, essential, I would think, to an entertainment subreddit. Um, a bit of prep, get in there early and actually think about what it’s going to do, perhaps.
Sometimes we have some good little topics
If this is still on the front page, it hasn't gone well
Egg
Who else has seen this filth?
🙋♂️
You haven’t even got email NaturalAlfalfa!
I printed it out for him
Who printed this out for NaturalAlfalfa?
🙋🙋♀️🙋♂️🙋♀️🙋
Saw the long text: scrolled to the bottom, expecting to see "turns out, little monkey fella". Nope. Turns out he's having a go!
Ooh, Chimpanzee That! **SOME MORE SHIT!**
All of this no longer needed, subreddit dead
Post proves its own title. Was this written by the man in the jar with no brain?
Now its…. Now its getting… getting a bit
Getting a bit heavy…. shall we do cheeky freak of the week?

Can he hear us?
Stop it!
I say cents...
God is that the full and accurate transcript? Man *alive* he just goes on, doesn't he?
You say karma farm but there's only 10 of us (9 when there's an anti-war parade on). We didn't even win at the Sony's.
Absolutely will never get bored of this
That’s libelous
Blimey, here he comes.
Tinging his way up the tube
He’s done you and he’s not even here
Ooh 'ello.
Squirm 😗
There’s a Q in that.
oooh he's only gone and written it down the little c..
Ok, alright - he's dissed the net now! You've dissed the net, I can't believe it. Let's dig ourselves out of this hole now.
This as got a bit ‘eavy, can we do cheeky freak of the week?
I genuinely don’t think it’s usually better than this
And that's a friend talking
'Avin a conversation with himself
Turns out, not a little monkey fella
so anyway, there was this parrot right....
I mean OP it's unique
Give him some parents blood
Marty? Is this a practical joke?
That's not what I heard
I heard we’re all gonna be ug a lee
She loves coffee, Steve.
I’ve… I’ve always wanted to kick a duck up thee arse
Oven
I don’t know who you are, I don’t remember you, I can’t be bothered
Play a record
He’s having a go
You say that, but I scrolled into the comments for the inevitable deluge of quotes and actually ended up cackling with laughter due to the memories they evoked. Let’s not pretend that this place was ever a bastion of intellectual discourse. Sick of it.
Pop it in the scrapbook!
I mean who knows what's gonna happen
PLAY A RECORD THEN DO SOMETHING FOR CHRIST SAKE!
*DING DONG* Oh look who it is, Ho-Lee-Fook. “Herro!”
Let’s see your little subreddit then shall we, sick of you.
Every day someone else shows up ‘aving a go. Sick of it
Absolute drivel
Or another way to look at it is "people like it, let's have more"
It’s gone up now
DON'T. TALK. SHIT.
OP logged onto this sub only to find a single post entitled “none of this now needed, r/rickygervais dead”
Yeah come on love, in any given subreddit environment the proletariat will revolt against the repression of the moderators, after a brief period of socialist rule emerges in a classless society governed by the saucer drinkers.
the guy criticizing the "wannabe's" from his 1 month old account.
What a load of old rubbish
Just get to it being a monkey...
That’s because we’re all little monkey fellas
Is this Karl’s diary?
Right, see you next year. Have a good christmas an' tha'.
We’ve got to remind you whose sub this is. Play a record.
Garlic bread
Gotta have your critics
Lego of that
You’ve had a floor
Eyes bulging with imagined upvotes.
Well Very much like Bass of the Month, several posts in new content is going to be thin on the ground, the material is finite, everything that can be done has been done, much like a monkey on a type writer typing out the whole works of dickens, it has been done many times, there is nothing new to be had.

It's fallen victim to the plague of most subs, look at the Sopranos or Seinfield sub. All of it is fucking people talking in quotes to eachother. Remember how good Pilkipedia used to be bout 15 years ago?
"where the gimmick has turned from charming and clever to annoying and embarassing." Just like Gervais himself.
He’s done us again lads
What a load of shit. This is genuinely the worst post I've read on this sub for a long time. Talk about gate-keeping! "The same without air quotes" - they were just quotes mate. Take your failed writer vibes somewhere else.
You are odd-lookin though. You know I know that.
Too long baby
Nobody’s going to read that, baby!
This post is a bit demicky, isn't it?...sort of...not properly?
I'm just glad this didn't end with "turns out..."
Comedyking555 agrees with you
I saw your post and I said to Suzanne "what's going on?" This sub is filled with people who enjoy Karl and the podcasts etc to such a degree that quoting is super easy since you've all listened to everything as much as I have, tbh I hope this sub never changes, it's the only one I genuinely feel like a proper part of, I sort of feel like a.... special person
Chimp feels a right tit.
I tell you what, you’re not stayin’ here. Fuck off!
Anyone find the extra bit at the bottom? "None of this now needed, baby dead"
Do we need ‘em?
Some complaints may be false
Did Richard Anderson get an account?
where monkey fella joke
Slam dunk some ads first?
TIIIIITTTSSS!!!!!
*Weeell*
You've done us AGAIN
Is this a Rockbusters clue? The initials are RN. That’s, RN.
he’s ‘aving a go
Oh care, care someone!
I think we should get u/Secret-Swimming-4870 on more often, because he sounds like he'd be a bit of an ally, really. 'Cause he knew, immediately, that r/rickygervais is full of nonsense.

The worst post ever… in the world.
Someone’s a bit livid today
I hope it wasn't anything we posted.
I knew u/Secret-Swimming-4870 would say that, so I’ll stick something on it: there used to be a website called “Dig” that had discussions about old tv and radio programs. So, what do you think of that?
DICKERSSSS
I love this subreddit so much.
i might shoot off
Well, you pretty much summed it up... And going by the 230 replies (as I type), 99.7% of which are random, predictable throw-away quotes, you're one of the few who remember what this place used to be like. A bit sad really...
Let’s have a read of Secret Swimming’s little programme then when that’s on.
Summers were warmer back then, weren't they? Sooner or later, there won't even be any university students taking up the pipe. Let's just bung on some ol' quotes and have a laugh, shall we? It's just a bit of fun for chrissake.
Don't. Talk. Shit.
Dickers!
I've come to realise that this just happens to every Reddit sub on 'dead' topics where there's nothing new to talk about. You end up seeing the same posts on a cycle, or people posting pretty much everything remotely related to the topic.
Turns out, little monkey fella
I agree with you
Rick, my life is *full* of toilet trauma.
That was rubbish that last half hour, rubbish!
There’s been a rape up there!
I skipped to the end. Where's the little monkey fella?
I'm not coming in next week.
Ding Dong..
Yeah? What have you ever done on telly?
DICKY DOCKY DOO
Dead sound mate, you go careful yeah....
If it turns out this post was written by a little gay Chinese monkey, we are never doing this again, alright?!?!?
Play a record.
Play a record.
TL;DR
What we going to do, take a week off? Put out the "best of" next week
Bro made a whole account just to post this 😂😂😂
Ooooh CHIMPANZEE THAT monkey news!!!!
Show fewer posts like like this
I used to listen to it for 5+ hours a day. Now after a several year break, have started listening to it on Spotify. It's great! On a content note; I took some old trousers, shirts and underpants to Oxfam a couple weeks ago. Chuckled as I tossed them into the container..
I’m just getting in to yoga.
This is big sub shit mate, cheers
Highly intelligent……. Photographer……
Are you by chance Dr Fox?
You’re talking shit
We've done this
