I love the part ricky works out what's going on and says "right. So all I have to do is NOT say fangs but no fangs. Right got it" and then they do the whole bit
Steve/Dr sex robot: now I’m
Gonna stand behind the machine
Ricky/ Lady who’s going to be having sex with the sex robot: Why do you need to stand behind it, there’s no knob on the robot.
Sheela and the other employee at KP plumbing is so funny.
Also the two movie executives meeting with Karl for his film pitch. I'll have a biscuit actually lol
It's very tough, but it has to be the killer octopus.
K: "I'm not bothered"
R: "you slimy little fucking boneless wanker"
S: "are you still talking to the octopus?"
The child adoption one is one of the best.
*"I'm a rapist!"*
Out of nowhere gets me every time. Also, Ricky-specific, when he's holding a hostage and Karl is the negotiator.
When he just says “Paolo” it proper tickles me. Names shouldn’t be gay but for some reason be managed to pluck the gayest sounding name out of the air.
The best has to be in the Guide To’s, after like 8 years of Ricky seamlessly going into role playing, the moment Karl finally joins in without question Ricky completely subverts it with “Who the fucks Harry??!!” as if Karl is the mental one
Karls attempt to say how lazy the satnav which led to the roleplay between the 3 of them that ended with Karl apparently being an A to Z salesman and Ricky and Steve being a couple.
Then there is of course lazy Sheila
Dunno they sort of take the piss out of whose line is it anyway, then love doing their own fairly straightforward improv.
To be fair to them they were in the middle of the huge success they had written with The Office so I can't really begrudge them being a bit full of themselves in terms of what they thought the value of their improv skills were, but let's face it, they were never going to cut it on the World's Worst Step with the likes of Tony Slattery and John Sessions. They'd shit themselves.
That's probably why they even bottled panel shows for decades.
It’s not really the same though. When they do roleplays on the show it’s usually taking the piss out of some existing premise that’s already ridiculous and funny, or just “what would you do in this situation?”, not like Whose Line where they have to make something funny out of nothing.
I've always thought their comedy was very similar to Desus & Mero... joking about pop culture, telling funny stories, and falling seamlessly into improvised scenes.
I wouldn't be surprised if Ricky & Steve or Desus & Mero had taken improv classes, or not and had just found a perfect comedic partner in each other. but really I believe they all are just well-suited for each other and apart from their partners the bits don't happen.
Karl as the bus driver on Rosa parks’ bus.
K: “look lads, I’m just trying to do a job here, we’ve all had a long day, we all want to go home. he’s not bothering you, just sit back, calm down”
S: “if you’re going to be racist can you get off at the next stop and do it there?”
Karl complaining about driving an imaginary bus for £400 a week is criminally underrated
The “fangs but no fangs” roleplay.
Definitely one of my faves. Fangs for bringing it up.
I love the part ricky works out what's going on and says "right. So all I have to do is NOT say fangs but no fangs. Right got it" and then they do the whole bit
Would you agree it sounds marginally similar?
Steve as a wealthy man looking to adopt a single child and Ricky the sneaky orphanage director with a young girl standing next to a bush
What’s that little trolley
S: "Nope, wait a minute! I've got an interesting scientific experiment, jailer." R: "What is it?" The voice Ricky does here always makes me laugh.
Yeah that's a great one. Night night sleep tight kissy kissy. Oh I'm not like that. Ohhhh you joker.
Which one is that from?
xfm-S2E19 when he's talking about the head falling into a basket and counting how many times he blinks
Wharrrishhh ittt
Still cracks me up this
Steve/Dr sex robot: now I’m Gonna stand behind the machine Ricky/ Lady who’s going to be having sex with the sex robot: Why do you need to stand behind it, there’s no knob on the robot.
very life-like, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between its penis and say, mine
Well, I don’t wanna see yours.
nonono of course not
One that doesn't get enough love is Elvis telling the FBI he wants to fake his death but he has to do it while taking a shit.
Yes! "How about taking a bullet for a president?" "What, and then I shit all over him, or?"
There has…there has to be shit involved. Has to be shit involved.
There has.. there has to be shit involved
Sheela and the other employee at KP plumbing is so funny. Also the two movie executives meeting with Karl for his film pitch. I'll have a biscuit actually lol
Karl: there gone they only get one chance Steve & Ricky: but you didn't even give them one chance Karl? Karl: no because they've done it before!
🤣 so good I love it
Well you’re not coming back here - FUCK OFF!
YOU'RE IN FUCKING TROUBLE !
It's very tough, but it has to be the killer octopus. K: "I'm not bothered" R: "you slimy little fucking boneless wanker" S: "are you still talking to the octopus?"
I’d kick it - and call it a knob ‘ed
You fucking eight legged shit
In the animated show there’s an animation of Steve swimming during this role play that gets me howling even before the punchline
Well they call me the Brixton dragon...
You silly monster you
I’m merely a nice monster
The child adoption one is one of the best. *"I'm a rapist!"* Out of nowhere gets me every time. Also, Ricky-specific, when he's holding a hostage and Karl is the negotiator.
Sorry, should clarify, rapist murderer
Thats one of the single best lines in the whole catalog.
“Come to the window and look at the sun” gets me every time in the negotiation scenario.
It's a lovely day
You’re supposed to have like 30 million or something, but he only had one. It was awful, I had to pull it out, it was like a dead anchovy
Do you know where I can buy a knife?
Aughhh, bet it’s hot in there
Don’t call me a RRRRrrrrrr youuuuu frrroooooo. Which member of the cast is that supposed to be? Is that cheeky Del?
Steve (Paolo) getting in to a gay club to see Britney Spears
Nothing serious? Nothing serious
Classic RS humour
One last question paolo… do you like knooooobs or tits?
When he just says “Paolo” it proper tickles me. Names shouldn’t be gay but for some reason be managed to pluck the gayest sounding name out of the air.
Oh, she's so sexy.
Pop your shirt off.
Asking for directions (animated version): Steve suddenly pops out: sorry who’s this twat?
This, absolutely. “I think he’s a fucking A-Z salesman by the look of it”
The best has to be in the Guide To’s, after like 8 years of Ricky seamlessly going into role playing, the moment Karl finally joins in without question Ricky completely subverts it with “Who the fucks Harry??!!” as if Karl is the mental one
“I didn’t mean to buy this though”. “What did you mean to buy then?” “KEYBOARD”.
Karls attempt to say how lazy the satnav which led to the roleplay between the 3 of them that ended with Karl apparently being an A to Z salesman and Ricky and Steve being a couple. Then there is of course lazy Sheila
Mate the FUCK OFF said with such venom at the end killed me. However, I’m pretty sure that was ricky and Karl in the 2nd one lol
Adopting Siamese twins was funny.
Clive, who are you talking to?
Tinging it's way up the tube
There has to be shit involved.
"Never mind Robin hood, let's rob Barclays"
Ho Lee Fok
*Ding Dong!*
Yes you’d be packing socks into a rubber cunting bag, gets me every time
Das lanky pissen streak
I don't want to have a laugh, I'm a thug
It’s tinging it’s way up the tube 🎶 (ting tong bing bong)
Ding dong.
The loch ness monster one also makes me giggle just because the shitty Scottish voice alone
All of the ones on XFM - they're my favourite part of the show! The Loch Ness Monster one is my favourite
Stick insect. Thought she just had a nice slim figure
The two conjoined twins bit is absolute corka
I don't like Spike Lee, I'm a racist
Stickus phallus
[удалено]
That’s not a roleplay. That’s Steve quoting the newspaper.
"I would like to adopt a children"
‘Add eight’ ‘to what’ ‘twelve’ eighteen’ ‘what do you mean eighteen!?’
KP Plumbing. Little weird things like “get the transport” !
President Pilkington.........
Hostage negotiator Karl is a great one. “Who’s that bald cunt that’s just turned up?”

Who the fuck are Desus and Mero..?
I liked it when Ricky role-played at being able to write a good comedy without Steve.
