PART 2 of a 2-part BEST OF compilation of one of Karl Pilkington's most beloved features, MONKEY NEWS. Monkeys are near and dear to Karl's simian heart. He spent much of his time during the XFM years sitting at home, looking up spurious monkey facts on the Internet. He would then share this unreliable monkey-related drivel with his two best friends, Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, who, over time, became increasingly irate at Karl's evermore outlandish monkey musings. This BEST OF compilation is based on the comprehensive 4-part MONKEY NEWS compilation released previously on this channel. CHAPTERS: Indian prison for monkeys - Pheff... Robbin' and that (0:00) Monkey Olympian runs 400 Meters (4:52) Adopted baby got 'airier, turned out it was a chimp (9:24) Chimp on tricycle in London to Brighton Bike Ride (11:37) Monkey that went into Space - A little monkey gettin' on with it (16:43) Little woman monkey prostitute (21:17) Are you familiar with 'undredth monkey? - Chimp washing a potato (24:09) Monkey chatroom (26:30) Monkey Formula One driver (28:53) Little monkey on plane goes mental over nuts (31:15) Monkey #6 puts on makeup and gets pally with lab assistant - Alright Kirsty?

PART 2 of a 2-part BEST OF compilation of Karl Pilkington's ROCKBUSTERS (a cheap knockoff of Blockbusters) from the Xfm Ricky Gervais Show with Stephen Merchant. Not only was this one of Karl's longest running features (along with Monkey News), but it was also ⁠voted by fans as his greatest XFM feature of all time⁠. Karl Pilkington gives a cryptic clue (it's usually nonsense) and the initials of a famous band or artist (he sometimes gets the initials wrong), and listeners either call, or as the feature developed (unless they were experiencing technical difficulties), email in their answers. The winner gets an arbitrary assortment of tat, often including a pointless DVD seemingly chosen at random from the bargain bucket. This 2-part BEST OF ROCKBUSTERS Compilation is based on the comprehensive 6-part ROCKBUSTERS compilation of every Rockbuster segment from the Xfm Ricky Gervais Show (released previously). CHAPTERS: Cilla Black, Small Faces, New Order (0:00) Bryan Ferry, Del Amitri, Chris de Burgh (8:02) Tony Bennett, The Darkness, Adam Faith (17:25) Alex Parks, Aztec Camera, Phil Collins (24:45) Gareth Gates, Texas, Delta Goodrem (31:45) Nik Kershaw, Soft Cell, OutKast (36:14) The Divine Comedy, Electric Six, Erasure (42:50) Courtney Love, The Bravery, The Monkees (48:31) Donovan, Yoko Ono, McFly (56:16) Lisa Stansfield, The Buggles, Amy Winehouse (1:03:26)

We start off with some Monkey News, then continue our post-mortem on the 2024 election. Does America have a Boy Crisis? Was $450k a day to put Kamala's name on the Sphere worth it? How many votes did Queen Latifah swing? Are there sharks in the pool? Can Rebecca Solnit construct a metaphor to save her life? Will anyone learn anything from this boondoggle? We discuss.

Compilation of every MONKEY NEWS segment from The Ricky Gervais Show PODCAST which came after the Xfm show. Once again, Karl Pilkington brings the most newsworthy and entertaining monkey or ape-related stories to his two best buddies, Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, who provide comedic commentary. This is one of Karl Pilkington's most beloved features. Monkeys are near and dear to Karl's simian heart. He spent much of his time during the XFM years sitting at home, looking up spurious monkey facts on the Internet. He would then share this unreliable monkey-related drivel with Ricky & Steve, who, over time, became increasingly irate at Karl's evermore outlandish monkey musings.

XFM animation created by Michael Leighton: @MichaelLeightonsKarlyPilkboys on Youtube (link below). In this very special animated edition of MONKEY NEWS, Michael Leighton brings a classic bit of MONKEY NEWS to life with his vivid animation. Karl Pilkington explains to Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant how the well-known phrase, "Monkey Business," came about. Karl spins a tale so preposterous that Ricky and Steve are utterly dumbfounded. Michael Leighton carefully constructs the hilarious world as imagined by the bald, round-headed buffoon, Karl Pilkington.

PART 6 (of 6) & FINAL installment of Karl Pilkington's ROCKBUSTERS (a cheap knockoff of Blockbusters). Not only was this one of Karl's longest running features (along with Monkey News), but it was also voted by fans as his greatest XFM feature of all time: https://x.com/rskxfm/status/1714711967305269595?s=20. Karl Pilkington gives a cryptic clue (it's usually nonsense) and the initials of a famous band or artist (he sometimes gets the initials wrong), and listeners either call, or as the feature developed (unless they were experiencing technical difficulties), email in their answers. The winner gets an arbitrary assortment of tat, often including a pointless DVD seemingly chosen at random from the bargain bucket. Fans will recall Stephen Merchant announcing such great prizes as Ladder 49 (the mediocre John Travolta film), or Children of the Corn (Peter Horton's in it). Ricky Gervais once mused: "Imagine getting that and going 'Excellent, we can watch this now!'" PART 6 ends with Steve in a state of total astonishment after Karl's penultimate Rockbuster, Kasabian: "What?! That's one of your worst, that... That's terrible." And in response to Karl's final Rockbuster, Donna Summer, Steve is utterly stupefied: "Man alive, that was shocking." **THE END** Keane (0:00) Courtney Love (11:44) Yoko Ono (19:28) Amy Winehouse (26:38) Nick Drake & The Ramones (34:51) Kasabian & Donna Summer (38:31)
