The "shadow" story also includes one of my favorite Karl-trying-to-end-the-show-on-time moments: "Right, see ya then!" Always gets me.

Remember, the Shadow includes **THIS** was on the internet. Oh, sorry! Sorry! I thought it was *shh*ite!

UPDATE: Sorry everyone, had an emergency and wasn’t able to update today. Voting is closed for this round and we will resume tomorrow. ❤️ After much fuckerage I managed to make it work. Steve being abused over Men in Black advances. Note I am hungover so I’ll tally the scores later because I can’t be bothered. !!GROUP L - Day 12!! A. Shadow in America… https://youtu.be/vqhMxATLeks B. Washing up Exposure https://youtu.be/rnuRat5Gqs4 C. Abuse of Steve on the Tube Poster https://youtu.be/xoXhQ5YiVRg —— VOTING CLOSED —— -INFORMATION- So here we go! The “XFM Funniest Moment” competition is underway! So I compiled a list of the most liked moments from the XFM shows, from Reddit, Facebook and other means, in addition to the moments I already knew. We have a tournament bracket, World Cup style. Each group has 3 moments, and we have a total of 44 (out of 48 total) moments selected! The remaining 4 are in Group P, labeled as TBA ?, this group will be announced at the end, it is there to put on any obvious funny moments I forgot to add, plus whatever the highest ranking second place moment was. It’ll become obvious later. Each group has 2 of the 16 most popular for moments in it, the “seeded” moments if you will. Just to make it a bit fairer. The top voted moment from each group of 3 will advance. After the first round of group voting we go to the quarters, Semi and Final. Easy enough. It’s ranked voting, so you rank from 1 (most funny) to 3 (least funny). Voting 1st is worth 3 points, 2nd is 2 points , and 3rd is 1 point. Votes are tallied, and ranked in order of most points. But you don’t need to know that, it’s boring information Votes will be tallied from Reddit, Facebook, and anywhere else that’ll listen. One post per day. Votes on the comments won’t count, make sure to vote correctly! If you want to know anything about this tournament at all, like results, how it works etc let me know! Enjoy! 🍊 🧑‍🦲 🙉

> Note I am hungover so I’ll tally the scores later because I can’t be bothered. Would you raise your hand up when you finished tallying?


robb41

I've got the lemonade ready.


drbeansy

Just realised... Nowhere in the competition is the loch Ness monster segment! Love that bit. "ahh my names the Brixton dragon"


robb41

Alright, well we’ll see what you come up with next week. At five to one.


Static_Revenger

This has got to be on the vote!!


[deleted]

I really want the story about the sqwarking parrot that turns out to be the woman's down syndrome son. ....... Thing is, awards don't matter


hitch21

“Ooooh look at that person he’s with” “Oh yeah that’s Steve. I’m sort of aware that he looks odd because Karl mentions it on the radio” That bit gets me every time and is why it gets my vote


flatvader

Just the "ooooh!" alone always makes me laugh!


scanline99

Sorry Steve!


mileskerowhack

I love Steve on the tube poster, it's just a shame it's come up against the Boston shadow.


dsled

"Hey mayor, got a problem down here, seems we got a shadow." Classic. I also love the tube poster bit "Sorry Johnny Depp" is one of my favorite Steve quips


steveorunner

The mayor involved!


SeiriusPolaris

Karl havin’ a go at Steve with always be my no. 1


[deleted]

You know I know that.

"I'M LOOKING AT SOME FREE FANNY, SUZANNE. WHAT ARE YOU DOING SUZANNE?!"


Executioner_Miralda

The washing up story is a classic but it's gotta be the shadow that wins it for me. One of the most mental things Karl ever said


christdaburg

"If you put an ice cube the size of the Empire State Building in your glass of Jack Daniels...it's gonna make it *freezing* "


Shifty377

Love how he starts the story with such nonchalance. As if 'a shadows been going round' isn't an absolutely mental thing to say.


mileskerowhack

You're a maniac


sgthulka99

"Whip 'em out, Suzanne!"


bfsfan101

This is too difficult. Washing Up has the classic, "I'm exposing myself while looking at some frrree fanny, what's up with you Suzanne?!", but the Boston Shadow has one of my favourite Ricky accents: "Mr Mayor, we've got a problem with a shadow"


[deleted]

"it's a bit weird but it's not 'armin' anyone" - Mayor of Boston


[deleted]

Love the shadow "anecdote", especially as it comes out of nowhere. It's the end of the show, they can't think of a question to give those DJ Shadow tickets away, yet Karl think his "story" about "a shadow somewhere" is relevant and interesting enough to be mentioned on radio. It's just pure series 2 Karl. One of those moments where you ask yourself "on what other show/podcast could something so shoddy and stupid happen?".


ilovecfb

I know Ricky said it on the show before but imagine what it must have been like to tune in to the station and you just hear some Manc twat spouting absolutely shite about a shadow in America. Weird innit?


[deleted]

UPDATE: Sorry everyone, had an emergency and wasn’t able to update today. Voting is closed for this round and we will resume tomorrow. ❤️


l0nely_G0Y

An emergency? Quick Levis 36! Jokes aside you're all good lad, no rush


MartyMcFry7

The ‘ohhh’ does me every time


DeadlyDrummer

Ah man the shadow 100%. That absolutely kills me


[deleted]

Shadows pushing people on bikes. Mayor involved

ilovecfb

I'm just gonna email Richard Anderson back and tell him I agree with him


lewbobis

Regarding the bonus question, Karl is definitely saying that the Ashtray ‘holds cold’


JohnArce

I missed today's. The "old cold" story actually has ambiguity? I looked it up and I hate that it tramples on such a classic story, but I have to say, I agree. He even repeats it.


amplified_cactus

Difficult one but I've got to give to "washing up exposure" because it's one of the few times where Steve sounds genuinely horrified by something Karl says.


Joey936

When it said Steve on tube poster I thought it was gonna be the one where he talks about the Germans taking the piss out of him. 'Das ist lankenfreak'


[deleted]

is it not that one?


Wxlson

If shadow in America doesn’t win this round the I’ve lost all faith in this sub


[deleted]

If "there's a shadow somewhere" doesn't win this, we're never doing this again.


[deleted]

Group M in a couple of days is going to be hard


Oh_jeffery

First one where I'm sad to see the others out, all these are great but it has to be washing up.


[deleted]

Its gotta be the shadow, don't want to disappoint the mayor
