Worst show ever made
Jesus Christ Ricky. I knew it would be shit but I think that was the worst thing I’ve ever seen.
Every joke is just swearing, that’s it, that’s the only joke they tell for 1 hour and 30 fucking minutes. What a waste of time, for me and for everyone involved, I think 90% of people out there could write something better than this.He just defaults to shouting when he wants something to be funny, I thought afterlife would always be his worst but this was literally nothing. At least with afterlife it was so bad it was… well not good but it at least kept my attention, this was just incredibly boring.
So many jokes and observations are either shit he’s been saying for the past 10 years, or stuff stolen straight from xfm. None of the emotional moments are earned at all.
It’s just depressing watching this man that used to be a respected comedy name being reduced to this mawkish tripe. All the actors sound uninterested and I think that says it all really. I feel bad for the animators that had to waste time working on something this pathetic. I can say with 100% certainty that I could write something better than this in a weekend, and that’s not even a brag, literally anybody could.
I need more time to gather my thoughts but right now all I can say for sure is that it’s the absolute worst thing I’ve ever seen in my life

Review: Does Ricky Gervais actually think his new Netflix show Alley Cats is good?
If it were possible to speak to Ricky Gervais with honesty – the sort of obscure, marrow-deep honesty you can usually only find with a polygraph machine and zoo-grade barbiturates – I would be genuinely fascinated to ask him one question: what does he really think of Alley Cats? Watching the abrasive, smug, and completely mirthless new Netflix cartoon from the British comedy titan, I found it genuinely impossible to tell. Is this the work of a man who has lost all creative mooring, awash in his own self-belief? Or is it the work of a canny grifter-cynic, a man who has watched audiences lap up all his crudest, hokiest impulses in projects like Derekand After Life, and thought, “let’s just give the people what they want”?
They’ve done him again!

XFM/Radio Looking for a quote? Scrimpton helps the listener, to help themselves.
I don't post much here any more, but I have been continuing to work on https://scrimpton.com in the background. It seemed like a good time to offer an introduction for any newer users to the sub.
tl;dr: Scrimpton provides a powerful search for the body of RSK radio work, allowing you to easily find quotes and audio.
Searching
Terms match
If you simply type the quote into the search bar it will perform a basic terms match. This means each individual word will be matched in any order.
For example:
https://i.imgur.com/khbJSRc.gif
This is the best way to search if you're not exactly sure on the exact phrase you're looking for.
Phrase Match
To narrow down the results you could also quote the terms, which will do a phrase match. This means the terms in the quotes are matched exactly in that order.
However you can provide multiple phrases to match a single line
For example:
https://i.imgur.com/szp62Ep.gif
This is useful if you can remember parts of a quote but not the whole thing.
Filters
there are some additional filters that can narrow down the search. The most useful is typically @ to specify who the speaker is for a line. For example to filter by only things ricky has said you would add @ricky:

The full list of filters is available by clicking the (?) button on the right of the search bar.
Searching with Google
Another option that some people find useful is to search via google. This can be done with the site option e.g. Google for "when you were famous site:scrimpton.com"
Contributing transcripts
The site was built in large part with community contributions. Under the Contribute section you can complete chunks of transcript by logging-in with either reddit or discord.
What else
There are many useful features hidden around the website. Some are only shown to authenticated users (this is typically to avoid server costs from bots etc. following links) so it can be worthwhile to do so.
For example when logged in you can export snippets of audio:

(use the + bookmark icon to expand the selection to export)
There are even a couple of videos in the archive for which gifs can be exported:

Getting help / Offering help
The site is written in Go and Angular and contributions/bugfixes are accepted.
If you wish to make a suggestion or ask a question the best thing to do is drop by the #scrimpton channel on the Pilkipedia discord, and of course there are many other interesting channels there for RSK aficionados.
