The caf's Camus.
Is he for real?
Funny as feck regardless.

Yeah, that's a good point.Weird, currently listening to the Bonus hour podcast, Karl talking about socks in a rubber bag.
I agree he plays on it massively but I don't care, at the end of the day his 'character' is essentially his living.
Gervais is obssesive over him I think. Honestly I don't find the podcasts as funny as the XFM shows, back then its the natural Karl and they way Ricky & Steve slowly unravel just how funny/stupid he is, its genuinely hilarious.Yeah, that's a good point.
Interesting to see it all on video, mind you. It looks like Gervais genuinely find him hilarious, just like the rest of us.
The little, fecking round-headed, baldy ffff....
Assuming it;s all legal and above board, where would I find these shows?Gervais is obssesive over him I think. Honestly I don't find the podcasts as funny as the XFM shows, back then its the natural Karl and they way Ricky & Steve slowly unravel just how funny/stupid he is, its genuinely hilarious.
Best moment is when they get Karl to do the Roger Moore impression, doesnt come better than that. If you haven't check out the XFM shows, they are all available for free.
PLAY A RECORD!!I hate when people bump threads with posts from much younger me in them. So young and carefree. So jealous of that guy. I even supported a good football team back then
Agree with all of this.I miss the XFM days when it did feel more free flowing and improvised between Ricky, Steve and Karl. The official podcasts give that scripted feel when you listen back to them.
As for Karl, I think he affects and exaggerates the dimness at times. He’s definitely more self-aware than he’d have you believe.
And I miss the days when Ricky was funny and not a douche who takes himself way too seriously now. 2003 Ricky would have ripped 2023 Ricky apart on XFM, mocking all those photoshoots he loves to do.
At least someone passed the voicemail message on instead of deleting it.Karl now fully on the voiceover work for adverts, money for old rope innit.

I agree, and they occasionally re-use some of the XFM stuff in the podcasts, which really does make it feel scripted, because I guess it is, or at least re-enacted.I miss the XFM days when it did feel more free flowing and improvised between Ricky, Steve and Karl.

Boycie you cuhhhhhh, don’t you call me a wanker you fffffffI still go to sleep to these fecking recordings.
Rodney ya BILLSSHHH
Agreed. The XFM shows also had more of a dangerous vibe, since Karl was meant to be ‘in charge’, and tasked with controlling two loose cannons who could at any moment say something that would get them all fired. It made for better comedy when they were within those parameters.I miss the XFM days when it did feel more free flowing and improvised between Ricky, Steve and Karl.

Got a letter sent to me today. It was addressed…to Mr DilkingtonKaaaaaaarllll Dilllllkington
Ohhhh Unc’s shit himself again.Boycie you cuhhhhhh, don’t you call me a wanker you fffffff
He did a load of travel shows on Sky, which weren't great. It felt uncomfortable watching him do his grumpy bastard shtick with nice people who genuinely wanted him to have a good time.Thought something happened to him with this thread bumped!
I'm glad you're all a fan. Assumed he would've been someone Redcafe would be sick of and hated on by now.
Suppose there was a time he was everywhere but no he barely does new stuff.
Yeh his show with Warwick Davies was a bit uncomfortable.He did a load of travel shows on Sky, which weren't great. It felt uncomfortable watching him do his grumpy bastard shtick with nice people who genuinely wanted him to have a good time.
