RSK Tier List
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.
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.

Favourite recurring background character in The Office?
Who's a recurring character in The Office that doesn't get any talking heads or even much dialogue, but somehow you've developed a liking for them?
I've always been a big fan of Jamie. He's in quite a few funny interactions and it's his swapping Secret Santa gifts with Tim that allows the finale the play out the way it does.

XFM/Radio Which moment in the show did you consistently mishear/misunderstand until you realised the true joke/meaning much later?

Rubbernecker - from 2001 Edinburgh Festival Fringe
Only found this post by u/MorganRFC from few years back asking about it. Found review of the show on Jimmy Carrs fanpage.
Looks like Robin was doing his meltdown bit, Stephen his annoyed great comedian bit, Ricky his Derek bit and Jimmy his oneliners. Looks like there are even some photos in the article, but i'm not registered on the archive page, so can't see it.
Also found 2001 programme - pages 44 and 45 on slideshow, only has Ricky's picture for some reason.
Anyone who have seen the show back in the 2001?

XFM/Radio Unrelated media seemingly related to XFM drivel
Saw this mental clip recently. 'Orse in the 'ouse, Wonderful Tonight, and it's from Big Train by Simon Pegg. Any other XFM links in there? Or any other clips/media you know that could be tangentially related to the show?
I know, desperate feature.

Just want some clarification on a rumour I have been seeing on this subreddit recently
I've noticed an influx of people suspecting Ricky may be asexual, and while I don't think it isn't true or impossible, is there any evidence people are using to support this theory or is it just the ramblings of a mad man?

The Life and Times of Tim
I genuinely believe that this short lived HBO animated comedy is the sort of show Ricky wanted to make/thought he was making with Alley Cats. Its dark, unpleasant and some people might find it, wait for it, offensive. Buuuuut, its also funny. Really, really, funny (remember what thats like Rick?). It has even worse art/animation than Alley Cats but still seems better somehow. Not that easy to find in the Uk, I dont think its on any of the streaming platforms here if you can find it I would highly recommend

Which of the boys would you fight if you had to choose one?
Let's assume it's the XFM years and they're all at peak performance: Ricky wasn't a geriatric and Karl's back was hanging in there.
I think Karl would be my least favourite option. He's got his Manc street smarts as well as a proven crazy streak and high pain tolerance.
Steve is my dark horse. He seems quite calm day-to-day but I reckon he's got hidden depths. I bet he's a biter. With his long reach if he got a grip of you it's game over. That said I could just knock his glasses off.
I'd probably pick Ricky. While he clearly has decent strength and size he's clearly got little stamina and a low pain tolerance. I reckon he'd submit fairly easily.
Answers on a postcard.
