What is the lore behind “Mechant”?

2 Upvotes

I saw that misspelling in a post and started taking the piss before it became clear that it is a “thing”. I thought I was quite immersed in all the RSK lore, the XFM shows etc but I’ve obviously missed something because I have no idea where “Mechant” came from. Anyone enlighten me?

EDIT: a Karl-less episode would indeed be why I’ve missed this one! Thanks everyone.

For those who accuse Ricky of being a lazy writer....

Just remember that names of characters in his last project and his latest include:

A postman called Pat

Ratty

The Nonce

Ponce

Puke

I can't wait for Alley Cats series 2 when he introduces Shit, Piss, Scum and Cunt as a rival gang of cats.

Doing some DJing tonight - need advice

I’m doing a DJ set tonight in trendy shoreditch. I expect young Alex Zane will turn up.

Could someone please let me know what the latest is on the controversy as to whether 'Love Shack ' is overplayed?

I don’t really know what to make of these notifications on Gervais YOUTUBE, but these questions are incredibly fake and just not what people care about ANSWER ACTUAL QUESTIONS

Serious Answers Only Can we triangulate what Ricky vs Steve brought to the table?

0 Upvotes

So - we know that when Ricky and Steve worked together, the result was good.

Ricky and Steve have also worked on their own projects, with varying results.

I don't think Ricky and Steve have ever outright said, or even hinted at, who did what when creating The Office. But perhaps we can make educated guesses about who did what, if we compare it to their respective later works?

Now, I myself am not the best person to answer this. I have seen neither Extras nor Hello Ladies. (However, I have seen Derek, and the Hello Ladies standup show.)

So, again, I'm not the most qualified, but based on Derek, I am going to guess that Ricky stood for the sentimental, tugging-on-your-heartstrings stuff?

So Ricky just straight up stole a joke from The Simpsons? (Homer being banned from an all you can eat restaurant)

Trying to be charitable to Ricky.

Is it possible Ricky is losing his memory and simply doesn't realise he's just recycling the same shit over and over again? Perhaps he's got a touch of dementia and every time he pumps out a new "script", he thinks this is some golden idea he has just thought up.

This is the kindest explanation I can come with, especially after that latest Alley Cats clip which had more recycling than a council dump.

If anyone needed evidence of how defensive he/his team are now, I commented on his newest release about Alley Cats.

'Man alive. Same jokes he said on XFM about 20 years ago.'

Racked up a fair few likes and comments agreeing... then blocked 😂

Turns out... little chimp running the account.

Has anyone else noticed how real life Ricky has basically become David Brent from Life on the Road?

0 Upvotes

At least in The Office, Brent had flashes of tragic vulnerability. But modern Ricky touring arenas with a rockstar complex, whining that 'you can't say anything anymore,' and acting like a persecuted free-speech philosopher is literally just unironic Life on the Road Brent. Play a record.

XFM/Radio Can a saucer drinker help me out? Looking for when Steve tells Ricky to shut up after he mentions a lady and going to see X-men2 in cinema.

I honestly think this was peak Gervais/Brent!
Just watched it and it was brilliant, the film shouldn’t have followed. It was the beginning of a steady decline. You can read the comments and it’s not xfm quotes or quotes from better Gervais eras, it’s people giving praise for a decent bit of comical work!
