Funniest thing Ricky has ever said

[ATellyandThat]

I've noticed a few topics on here relating to the funniest things Karl and Steve have said.
While I agree that Ricky is the most annoying of the three he does have his moments.

He has a way of making something ludicrous sound mundane and normal.

A couple of examples:

XFM Series 3 Episode 01 / (1. November 2003) / 38:00 - Ricky talks about shoving curling tongs up the arse

Guide to medicine / 31:00 - Ricky talks about being blind 'back when Tutankhamun was knockin about'

They seem to come out of nowhere and they always make me chuckle when I hear them!

So whats the funniest thing Ricky has ever said? :)

[CantSayBien]

Usually he's more the one doing the prodding rather than actually saying funny stuff. But some moments that come to mind...

"Why not cum out a window?"
"Ding dong! It's Ho-Lee Phuck!"
"RIGHT!" (interrupting Karl saying the Chinese all look the same)
"It's the most ridiculous, convoluted, racist piece of material ever to be uttered on radio" (though even more credit would go to Steve's "play it again")
"I LIKE BUYON FEWWY"
"Were you called freaky, lanky, four eyed, stupid haired, boggle eyed, freak face, fish face?"

and if you count TV as well, then "I think there's been a rape up there" is unbeatable

[CantSayBien]

oh, and ...

"Play a record"

[Paute]

"This is the end"

[Bret]

If spoken words plus facial expressions count, it's "And people say she's just a big pair of tits".

If facial expressions don't count but scripted televisions still does it's "I think there's been a rape up there".

If scripted television doesn't count it's a massive tie among too many lines. The line "Das lanky pissen streak" comes to mind but that's just right now.

[Elixer]

Going off audio only and not counting Office etc...

"NO IT'S NOT DIRE STRAITS!"

"I Like buyon fewwy"

Pork Chop on her arse bit.

Basically whenever he's angry at Karl

I like that the first suggestion for "Funniest thing Ricky has ever said" is:

Ricky talks about shoving curling tongs up the arse

[Throsh]

I love it when Karl talks about he he thinks everyone swears, even Jesus. He says about how having pebbles in his sandles and nails in his hands would make him swear. Ricky's reaction is brilliant, especially
"Don't laugh at the crucifixtion" "Ooh I'm worried about this, I'm worried about this, this is naughty" The way he says it really makes me laugh.

[mushroommai]

I laughed so much when he went 'a-wooo' after a song played.
He explained what he was doing during the song, and it just made me laugh.
I like it when it's difficult understanding what he's saying because he's laughing so much.

[MECHANT!]

'ung an that, that's definitely a Chinese Diplomat, 'ung an that.

[ATellyandThat]

I'm not saying that the funniest thing that Ricky has ever said is 'Ricky talks about shoving curling tongs up the arse'.

I'm saying that between the rants, shouting, arrogance and ignorance of the audio shows (that do my head in) there's still a character in there called 'Gervais'. Not Ricky or Ricky Gervais, just Gervais.

He appeared on the 11 o' clock show back in the day as an obnoxious but articulate news reporter. He even had his own theme tune!

At the time he could be serious enough to make it seem almost real, but funny enough for you to realise it was a joke.

The examples I gave meet the above criteria for me, but other suggestions are welcome. I like being reminded of funny bits!! :)

He can be a nob-head but Ricky Gervais can still be funny!!!

[tommy83]

Maybe not the funniest but I really like this moment from Ricky:

In one of the Guide Tos.... (I think Law & Order), when Karl says something about the "stakes were high but the risk was low", the SILENCE from Ricky and hearing him work out the nonsense that Karl just said, makes me laugh.

[Fuzzy Dunlop]

His terrible Elvis impression and "There has to be shit involved."

[Barrylad]

"I don't care what the critics say."

[Dickers!]

"I don't know which one to plump for"
