I've always known 'sloth' pronounced 'slow-th' here in the UK. On the Mars stuff, Karl was talking about Beagle 2, which was a probe that was sent to Mars as part of a European mission in 2003. Because the probe was designed, built and managed in Britain there was quite a lot of publicity about it, and the project was led by a scientist called Colin Pillinger who became a bit of a public figure at the time because of his very engaging mix of enthusiasm, knowledge and eccentricity. The probe was supposed to land on Mars on Christmas Day but unfortunately something went wrong with the probe and it never transmitted. So in Karl's mind that becomes "a fella who said he could get stuff to Mars, but it all went wrong because he did it at Christmas and no one can be bothered to do a good job then", like he was building a rocket in his back garden and decided to try and launch it after Christmas dinner or something. A great example of how he can take in information and then retell it in a way that's basically right but then he layers his own take on it over the top.

I think of Karl as having 'random access memory' like a computer. It can't store a lot of information, it just stores like 10 different random things which he dips into. He doesn't have a hard drive to store all his memories, emotions and information he's learned and committed to his memory. It's like if you stopped him on the street on a normal day and asked him to write down everything he currently knows, it would be 10 sentences, none of which relate to any other and only half of them are true. Also sloth is pronounced both ways, it's one of those words that you could say either way and people will understand you.

[@MandyCaneLane]

[@robcoz98]

As a fellow Northerner like Karl, a school disco isn't exactly like a prom or anything like that. It's usually like an end of term treat they would have for the kids or a fundraiser opportunity where they would charge admission and have refreshments which in my experience would be soda/juice cartons, candy (we call then pick and mix here) and hot dogs. They'd usually get someones dad who did mobile discos to do one for about two hours after school Usually prom nights are reserved for secondary school/sixth form which would be about middle school/high school

It blew my mind when I was listening to the original full podcast of this, to hear Ricky saying that chimps don't have opposable thumbs. Of course they do. How does he think they swing through trees and grip things? Ricky's a pretty smart guy but he slipped up on this one. There's more stuff about Doppelgangers to come too, I think, and Karl says something that Ricky thinks is the stupidest thing he's ever said. But I don't agree with that because I think I know what Karl was trying to say. When it comes up, I'll mention it. I don't want to spoil anything. Another great reaction. Your reaction to baby Karl going to sleep made me laugh. 😂 In the morning,s when I check KZbin for new vids from people I subscribe to, your video is always the one shown first.

For the record, chimps DO have opposable thumbs. Ricky is too smart for his own good sometimes in an effort to shut down Karl. It's the poor quality of the precision grip they have though which is the problem. Instinctively they'd use a more primitive power grip that they use to smash things open etc. Which is how youd stab with a dagger as opposed to the precision grip using a scalpel or pencil correctly

[@MandyCaneLane]

IMO Ricky often looks dumb while trying to dismiss Karl. 🤪

I think with the fight story Karl is just remembering things badly - he was probably older than 7 - more like 12. And the policeman coming in was probably the next day or something. The boxing story was he went boxing once for one session but he mentions it a lot as if he did boxing for years. I think with the dishwasher on Mars story he is probably getting a story he read or saw wrong and that the article or clip he saw probably said that a probe that was sent was the SIZE of a dishwasher and that it's now abandoned due to an unsuccessful landing.

[@MandyCaneLane]

[@autistickakarot]

I am from the UK and I personally have always pronounced it sloth as apposed to slow-th, and a lot of people I know also pronounce it sloth. however I do also know people who pronounce it slow-th so I assume it varies depending on what media you was exposed to growing up and how people around you say it.

[@DovahFett]

I think the usage of "sloth" as opposed to "slowth" might be an Americanism that's crept into British culture over the decades via films, music, and other media. I only ever hear the British say "slowth", and they are usually older British people as well, which makes me think that it's a traditional pronunciation that's perhaps falling out of usage with the younger generations.

Doing that would probably speed up the process a bit but i'm sure it would still take many thousands of years.

Karl is notoriously bad at remembering or estimating how old he would have been during supposedly notable times in his life.

Probably his last year of middle school. I had a similar thing. He was probably 11. Not 7. Karl was still pooping in a litter tray full of tic-tacs at 7. And the assembly with the policeman?

Plenty of words pronounced differently in American English, but the real problem us in the UK run into is the different spellings.

[@MandyCaneLane]

[@shanekenny5297]

Well done to Argentina getting to the world cup final I'm sure Argentina is full of buzz and excitement at the moment best of luck on Sunday against France

[@MandyCaneLane]

Lol, thank you for recogninzing my efforts in the matter! 🤪 There was lots of screaming, honking and drunk driving involved after last match. I can't imagine the chaos if Argentina wins!

[@shanekenny5297]

Well yous only went and done it haha sorry I'm irish out celebrating anything aswel

Theres a small game of karl pilkington with this style of art, and u just adventure out in this small area with different objects that reference to stories hes told or short sound clips of his phrases/stories, its not like professional tier game like Fifa or Call of Duty, but its a funny little game

[@MandyCaneLane]

Oh! I am VERY interested!!! What is it called?

[@icba9292]

@@MandyCaneLane you can find it if you search "karl pilkington game play through" its not action packed, but its just quirky/fun to spot the references

I've always pronounced sloth the same way as you, so it also sounded weird to me too. Hopefully, one day after you catch up with your 3 year's worth of reactions to get through, you do sick of it, staring the Round headed buffoon, lol. You seem to have your mojo back, too. Xx

[@MandyCaneLane]

Haha, except for the cough I am feeling great! And good to know the sloth thing wasn't just weird to me 😅🤪

Mandy competed in the tanning Olympics and she got bronze! 😂 I absolutely love the Karl stories. A writer could take 3 or 4 of his thoughts and come up with a great science fiction novel.

[@MandyCaneLane]

Lmao! 100%! And bronze is a fine color to have 🤪

[@Jackjack-rp9lz]

I think you underestimate how intelligent Ricky gervais is

[@Mrgarethw]

Sloth and sloth(e) used interchangeably here it seems. I've heard both from people

[@MandyCaneLane]

Thank you for explaining 🤗🤗

I bet you’d recognise yourself, the human brain is ridiculously heavily programmed to recognise faces, it’s why you sometimes might see faces if you look at like say the paint on a wall up really close or in random patterns n stuff. Surprises me sometimes when I recognise someone who’s aged like 20 years since I saw them last n look completely different. There’s just something about faces where your brains super good with them

[@MandyCaneLane]

Now I want to test it! Somebody get 5 year old me a time machine!

Another great reaction 👍. Just wanted to recommend another British TV series that's funny if you're interested. It's on KZbin and it's called "Game on" based on 3 room mates, one of them is a cool guy named Matt and a bit psycho but he's agoraphobic so he never leaves the flat. Funny stuff, just watching them today for the first time in ages and forgotten how good they were. FYI this was made in the 90s so it has some content like mild discrimination in 1 or 2 scenes and abit of sexism that wouldn't be allowed on TV today. Its nothing too heavy imo.

[@MandyCaneLane]

Thank you Achilles!! And I don't mind that kind of humour. People nowadays take the word 'discrimination' waay too far!

[@achilles8356]

@@MandyCaneLane Yeah i know all the snowflakes and their cancel culture we have now dictating what we can and can't watch, really sick of those people! Like another classic British comedy called Fawlty Towers. My parents are Irish and there was one scene where Sybil Fawlty calls an Irish builder who made a right mess of the hotel a "thick Irish joke" she was pissed lol. Thing is I'm not asking for it to be cancelled because of 1 scene, it was made in the 70s and none of the characters are really that normal in it anyway. People need to chill out. I still watch to this day, one of my favourites!

One of Karl's greatest lessons for humanity is that truth is stranger than fiction, after all. Thanks for a great reaction! :)

[@MandyCaneLane]

Lmao! Just like Bob Mortimer!! 🤗🤗

18:23 We pronounce it sloath, not sloth - that's a deadly sin. Poor sloath did nothing wrong. 😋

[@MandyCaneLane]

So the sin is different? To me it's all sloth 😂😂😅

[@paultheretrogamer]

I way he says sloth it depends on where you are in uk we say it in a different way I say it the same as you

[@damlund1]

Thank you for one more funny Karl reaction. I would like to suggest you a funny WILTY compilation with the title: Miles Smiles and Guffaws - Miles Jupp on Would I Lie to You?

[@MandyCaneLane]

Thank you Damlund! Will add it to the list!! 🤗🤗
