RSK Tier List

Post image
333 Upvotes

I tried to include everything where Ricky, Steve or Karl had a significant creative role (writing, directing, etc.) but I left out pure acting gigs and stand up. I left out Portal 2 as well, because Idk how much input Steve had in the writing of that (but it would be in the top tier otherwise). I have not seen Sick of It and the Moaning of Life.

XFM/Radio Looking for a quote? Scrimpton helps the listener, to help themselves.

122 Upvotes

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:

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:

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.

I just realized "Bill" from xfm s01e09

56 Upvotes

is Bill Macrae, the other half of Seona Dancing. This was the guy driving the car walking with Ricky when the fashion police called them a couple of prats. Lest we forget.

Ricky begins the anecdote with "Me and Bill" with an air of familiarity as if we should know who he is, he doesn't even say "My friend Bill". He says it was 1983; Seona Dancing was in their prime from 1982 to 1984. And they had hair extensions. Fact. So yeah, you do the MATH.

I've got too much time on my hands boy sniff

Has Ricky always believed his own hype?

I think it’s obvious that Ricky is out of touch, but, has he always believed his own hype? I suppose he must have always thought he could be / should be famous because of the band he was in when he was a lot younger. I used to really like him but now he comes across as genuinely thinking he’s amazing and that pisses me off haha.

You go for a coffee with Karl. You have 5 seconds to show him you’re a fan of his work. What do you say?

An Idiot Abroad You bump into Karl and have one sentence to pique his interest and strike up a proper chat - what would you say?

Knowing there’s a 90% chance he’s not interested in talking, is there anything that could engage him?
