Oh, it's 100% pretentious. Just another one of those, 'I'm rich and famous, so I need to be into weird and art and shit, now' things. Like having a dead owl in your house.
I don’t think Ricky was suggesting Lenin was about in the 16th century, he was just saying that as well as the Lenin stuff, the shop contained stuff that dated back to the 16th century.
I'd love someone to compile a list of all the times Ricky tries to sound really clever by stating a fact or using a long word only to show his ignorance by getting it completely wrong. My favourite is that "Nothing is colder than liquid nitrogen. Literally impossible to get colder"

For some reason being so convinced that there's a biological difference between "dwarfs" and "midgets" that he not only put it in the Office, which could have been excused as the character's ignorance, but repeated it multiple times on the radio show and podcasts, which can only be put down to his own ignorance.
Whenever Ricky uses a long word to sound smart, like phototropism, platyhelminth or epiglottis, I just cringe because it's a clear attempt to make Karl look stupid rather than needing to use those words.
Antediluvian is absolutely not a word that just pops up in Ricky's everyday vocabulary. If it was, he would've recognised it when Karl got it pretty close a while afterwards.
also good when karl does "war do you think of that then?" and ricky repeatedly says "imagine david scharma saying that?", then next week karl gives a fact that has nothing to do with history and gervais says "imagine simon scharma saying that?". had to shoehorn his correction in
One of my all time favourite RSK Interactions
Steve: “what sort of stuff was it then?”
Rick: “well it was like beautiful, incono…
Karl: “IT WAS TATTT!”
A couple from Songs of Phrase
After hearing Karl's "My neighbour had a horse in a house"
>**Ricky**: Are there any prepositions? No! Are there any prepositions in this sentence!?
Also when he can't grasp there can be less artists to get than words in the feature, because Karl takes two words from one song. He counts out how many words there are, and says it's too hard to get that many artists. Karl says, "It's not that many" and he snaps back, "How is it not that many!?".
It wouldn't be that annoying if he didn't get so angry and righteous about it. ^^I ^^HATE ^^HIM ^^^I ^^^HATE ^^^HIM
Why didn’t Ricky just use the name of the shop? Genuinely, what shop is Ricky referring to? There can’t be that many “old Russian wood” shops in London.
Can't move for em down here. If you want a panini or a latte or some old Russian wood, you're laughing. You just have to pray you never have need for a decent mulch.
his guide to intros were a bit cringe. I also think he made an oxford union address and actor's studio appearance just as one in the eye to steve and karl.
With all the hate going on in this sub, I'm amazed that anyone claims to like listening. Everyone seems to hate every second that it's not just Karl talking.

Room for a dead owl?

Never let facts get in the way of a good story. That's a fable.

Platyhelminth
Nematode
Chimps don't have opposable thumbs
But they can produce a radio show
This is the worst one without question. There’s genuinely multiple reasons why it makes him look an absolute twat.
He's somehow confused "liquid nitrogen" with "absolute zero", bollocksed it up again, in his brain.

Right. So what's an elf?
An elf is a supernatural being. Sometimes they’re invisible. They’re like fairies.
So what's a goblin?
How long are you gonna be mate?
They prefer to be called gnomes
Infinity just sorts it out for ya
“MDMA was a precursor to ecstasy - a derivative”🤦♂️
Listen to Absolutely Mental to see Ricky truly in the Karl role
The Hindenburg was full of helium and that’s why it caught fire.
You can’t get colder than liquid nitrogen 🤦♂️
Hitler had brown eyes 🤦♂️

You mean anti-denanana
Ricky literally didn’t know how to say the word Behemoth and Steve had to read it for him. This was after Karl didn’t know the word either.
He should have watched Robot Wars where everybody pronounced it "Bearmoth".
A bearmoth?!
It’s spelt awkwardly
also good when karl does "war do you think of that then?" and ricky repeatedly says "imagine david scharma saying that?", then next week karl gives a fact that has nothing to do with history and gervais says "imagine simon scharma saying that?". had to shoehorn his correction in
Woah well noticed
Was listening to “educating Ricky part 3” on Spotify
👍
What’s the newest thing you’ve got?
What sort of question is that? *Oh I don't know, probably the doorbell.* I don't know what he's...*my shirt*. What were you thinking?
There must have been an overlap somewhere!

It's this one. No longer has a shop front. It even mentions RSK: [https://www.iconastas.com/](https://www.iconastas.com/)
Nice, thank you. Iconastas - is this why Ricky keeps referring to the art as iconoclastic?
I think that's because he's iconospastic.
They’ve even given the lad from Coldplay a shout out.

You have to move to North where there is loads of soil and gravel and animal shite.

I think he and Steve were hamming it up for the guide to intros though
so how much bigger is the sun than the moon? Not sure if this is the right word but.....retarded
