And um, them munkey fellas escape and you... you chase them down. Thats the game. I mean... I, um, I didn't play much, but thats what you do, you chase lil' munkey fellas and then you catch them.

That's nonsense Karl. Absolute bollocks. There's no- there's no way that they would... oh christ.... Why would they make a game like that, you... IDIOT!!!
A game? Where you chase MONKEYS? That's stupid Karl. It doesn't exist, you know why it doesn't exist? Because it's STUPID. Only your little round head could come up with a stupid idea like that.
What do you do when you catch the monkeys? Do you let them go once you catch them or do they go somewhere?
This seems to be a thing you are referencing but im not sure what it is. But i get the sense its british. So thats an immediate hard pass.
You'd be missing out.
TL;DW: Radio show where two comedians learned that their producer is actually an idiot savant, and started probing him for moronic thoughts
Karl is actually right here. Statistically, a monkey typing forever is not any more likely to type out the entire works of Shakespeare than it is to just type the letter A and nothing else forever. It's not a sure thing that it will type any given sequence even if it is given infinite time to do so.
Ricky is kinda misusing the phrase to begin with, it's not meant to imply that the monkeys WILL write Shakespeare, only that they COULD
Karl is right but for the wrong reasons so he's still a fricking idiot.
And the fact that he tries to claim that's what he was saying the entire time is infuriating.
Infinity sorts it all out for you. The monkey will type A for a long time but he will eventually type something else, since there's no end, every possibility that can happen will happen. He'll give it a good shot.
There's no way to prove that the monkey will type any given sequence of letters even if it has infinite time.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_monkey_theorem
It can't "never" happen when there is no end. You don't run out of shots. The probability of continuing to roll 1 progressively decreases, without ever reaching 0, but it will *eventually* roll a 6
>Suppose that the keys are pressed randomly and independently, meaning that each key has an equal chance of being pressed regardless of what keys had been pressed previously.
This is the problem
This assumption is wrong when it comes to monkeys
A better, modern version of this theory would be a computer program that randomly selects a letter and has an equal chance of selecting any better in the alphabet
>Not only did the monkeys produce nothing but five total pages[14] largely consisting of the letter "S",[12] the lead male began striking the keyboard with a stone, and other monkeys followed by urinating and defecating on the machine.
INFINITY SORTS IT ALL OUT
They're just like us.
That's assuming that the monkey has an equal chance of hitting every key on the typewriter
Maybe the monkey simply doesn't press the Q key because it's scared of it
You can roll a die an infinite number of times and there is still a chance, an infinitely small chance, that it will never roll a 6.
I don't know what kind of dice you're using m8
That's not even nearly as impossible as the monkey, a die is designed to roll all those numbers, it's its whole purpose. a monkey doesn't just magically change its brain over time to do something a monkey isn't capable in the first place. Ricky is so wrong it's infuriating
Infinity doesn't just "sort it out"
IT'S NOT ABOUT THE MONKEYS YOU FUC... THEY'RE USED TO SHOW THAT THERE ISN'T THOUGHT IN IT! IT'S A MATHemat.... Oh steve, oh I can't frickin....
*sounds of shuffling paper*
LET HIM FINISH
PLAY A RECORD
You guys are just playing along with the joke, right?
There's no way you actually believe this.
kino
I get the sense you're a gay
>not knowing the Ricky Gervais Show
wew lad
He's imagining... Oh god....! He's imagining a little monkey wearin' a AHAHAHAH!!!! Wearing a helmet! On its head! Like it's going cycling!!!! AAAAAHAHA I'm gonna burst!!!!
Alright, here's one for ya-
Science fiction game, world's a big wasteland, world's ended and all that. Ghosts everywhere and stuff. Play as this guy called Sam Bridges, but get this: He's not some kind action hero, he's just a regular mailman. Getting stuff from A to B and all that, because even if the worlds ended people still need toilet paper you know? So he's out there keeping it all together. Bringing folk together. Like a bridge. The bad guy's name is Cliff, because he's a cliff who keeps people apart. Interesting innit?
Sounds a lot like fallout new vegas now dunnit? A little too similar innit?
Karl was right about the monkeys and typewriters btw
He wasn't you fricking dunce.
Gabe is simultaneously intelligent and kind of moronic depending on what he's talking about
He also spoke as an authority on tons of subjects he knew literally nothing about
He was right about how thinking works too.
Ricky just outs himself as an internally monologueless npc who doesn't understand the difference between verbal/conscious thoughts and the conceptual/subconscious thoughts they originate from, and how you don't control the latter.
it's like they've never heard of consciousness lol
Sometimes I can't tell if Ricky and Steve are for real or if they're acting as intentional contrarians against Karl just to pull more out of him.
good thread, shame ricky is a cringe moron
Nah, Ricky was the perfect heel and knew how to get the best out of Karl, he is nowhere near as funny without him.
Lets Drown Out is the gaming equivalent of The Ricky Gervais Show
Gabe is like a mix of Karl and Stephen Merchant
Yahztee is literally just Ricky Gervais
I like Yahtzee he is the only game reviewer I can stand.
They're both karl and ricky. Both talk dumb shit and both point it out.
>is
*was
Gabe is dead?
>We had stuff to do! I think we're a bit busier than you, Karl! You've got one job, we've got loads of jobs. I keep tellin' ya that. You got one job in a little room, a 9 to 5, there that you don't even get done in 9 to 5, that's why you're late and mucking around all the time!
And he gets mondays off!
>steve: He's taken his shirt off, right, so he's sat there, 41 year old man or whatever you are- 40 year old man there with his shirt out- beautiful. I mean, I've seen most parts of your body now at one point or another--
>*Ricky Giggles*
>steve: I think in the early days when we used to work at XFM you started showing me bits of your anatomy which is something he does to (Laughing Slightly) people he likes, friends of his. I'm sure you're seen most of it, Karl.
>karl:No.
>steve:And so, uhm, he's sat there--
Were they a couple of benders?
So, errr... Rockbusters, innit? How it works is we give you a little... little cryptic clue and some initials, makes up the name of a video game. Alright?
First one is uhh...
We drilled for oil on that lady's property. Initial is B.
Second one...
That Italian bloke wants you to pay him for his services. Initial there is M.
And the last one...
I need to get somethin' to put on me foot. Initial is B.
I think ive got the first one
Bore-her-lands... Borderlands
>that bit where steve talks about flashing his wiener to Brazilian women because he lost his glasses on holiday
>that bit where they force feed karl burgers live on air
>that bit where karl talks about bringing a lawyer in because rickys head squeezing is getting to much
>that bit where karl talks about getting lost in a field of nettles because "i was reading to much"
>victoria plum
my personal favourites
I wish someone would go back in time to the '00s and make a GTA-esque game set in London that has Karl, Ricky, and Steve as the DJs for one of the radio stations
Yes I've heard of The Getaway
>monkey doubters don't know calculus or probability
they're just a metaphor anyways, chill out.
When will Joe Rogan stop being scared of Karl and debate him?
I think Karl's idea for a machine that lets the doctor feel what you feel would actually be really useful for diagnostic medicine
Oh right, a machine that lets the doctor feel what you feel.... Very interesting Mr Pilkington...
How does it work? Like h-how does it function?
Just pop it on yer wrist
Wow wow wow but hold on. What do you mean, just pop it on your wrist? How does it work? "Just pop it on your wrist".... Absolute twaddle.
I don't think any doctor would want that job if they had to constantly feel like shit.
>Doc my balls hurt
>Alright gimme one sec to get kicked in the balls and I'll tell you what it is
>I think Karl's idea for a machine that lets the doctor feel what you feel would actually be really useful for diagnostic medicine
Wasn't this shit literally turned into a Black Mirror episode years later kek
Alright, so there's this game called "Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars", yeah? It's a bit like a mix of a Mario game and an RPG, which stands for Role-Playing Game, right? You control Mario, the little Italian plumber fella with the mustache, and you go on this adventure to save the Mushroom Kingdom. Sounds simple enough, yeah?
But here's the twist, mate. A giant sword falls from the sky and breaks the Star Road into a bunch of pieces, yeah? Now, without the Star Road, no one's wishes can come true, and everything's gone a bit pear-shaped in the Mushroom Kingdom. This game introduces this new bad guy called Smithy, this big bad metal bloke, and he wants to replace the star pieces with weapons so nobody can wish anymore. Mental, innit?
>that episode where Suzanne leaves detailed instructions on how to prepare and serve his quiche because he's been known to put sausages in the toaster
is he /ourguy/?
Karl was right about how the government shouldn't fine you for not wearing a helmet while a riding a motorbike.
I agree.
But then I also think if you're not wearing a helmet then you're not entitled to any treatment in NHS funded hospitals.
Or at least not entitled to free treatment.
It also brightens up the area with all the flowers peaople leave and therefore reduces accidents since people will go slow to look at all the scenery 'an that
what about his kids though ?
it's a genuine point, do you damn them to having a fatherless and poor upbringing when you have the power to avoid that fate by forcing the guy to wear a helmet ?
at what point do we define what should and shouldn't be legal ?
Just put some leaflets in people's mail about it
