Karl Pilkington
"I remember the days when Karl didn't even want to be on the air, I remember the days when he was told by the establishment that he wasn't allowed to talk on the air, and now, it's like, as far as he's concerned, he's a third member of the team."

Women
Stephen Merchant portrays himself as a timid loser with the ladies, often poking fun of himself by sarcastically talking about what a great lover he is and how women adore his DJ skills. Despite his own portrayal, Stephen's wit, charm, and dorky self-consciousness make him a highly sought-after bachelor and extremely attractive to the females he appears to be so uncertain around.
Money
Stephen Merchant is said to be notoriously careful with his money. In an interview with Russell Brand, Merchant is quoted as saying "If you invite a girl out to dinner, I don't see why she should expect a pudding." Despite his high earning income, he happily waits 10 minutes for the Tube fair to reduce by £2 after rush hour ends. He also claims to not like to give money to charity, particularly focusing on his annoyance at London's many homeless. These statements may be in jest or tongue-in-cheek, however, as he and Ricky have been known to help raise money for Make Poverty History, Amnesty International, and prostate cancer.
