Americans React | An Idiot Abroad Episode 7 Machu Picchu | Reaction

[@scipioafricanus5871]

55:00 WTF??? Boomer, SERIOUSLY, you couldn't show Carl doing the Attenborough voiceover???? Worst anti-climax ever.

[@Gisborne1990]

Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[@Enigmatic..]

Nobody watches An idiot abroad for the sights, we watch it to laugh at Karl moaning lol.

[@Robhalifax]

You cut it off before the end when he does the voice over!

[@scipioafricanus5871]

56:29 King Boomer: "I guess I should ask the Boomerites... for those of you who have watched this before; were you disappointed that Carl didn't actually trek down to Machu Picchu or trek up I should say?" I'm disappointed that I didn't get to see Queen Boomer react to Carl Pilkington doing the Attenborough voice-over!

[@watchreadplayretro]

I'll tell you, I've been getting lucky at my local second hand store (Thrift store), 2 weeks back I found Benidorm complete series set on dvd, and The Inbetweeners complete series set, and now yesterday I picked up An Idiot Abroad triple series boxset! Brilliant reaction as always guys, keep em coming when you can! Please edit in to the next one the Karl Attenborough voiceover though, that is so hilarious!

[@jamesbraxton6085]

Ah you guys missed the voiceover section at the end!

[@ChristopherStendeck]

From what I've read, oxygen intake per breath, due to the significant drop in barometric pressure, is actually 40% less there compared to sea level, so even worse than Karl was told. I'm sure he had a day or two to acclimatise. Also, I'm sure the Queen meant to say feet on every occasion that she said miles. 😅

[@steelmagnolia666]

You two are by far my favourite reaction videos of all of them. Love you two, keep it going! X

[@offal]

at 3,600m (just above Cusco), barometric pressure is around 480mmHg, and oxygen per breath is 40% less that at sea level!

[@joeobrien4869]

King boomer you have a childish sense of humour an its infectious everytime you laugh i do😂

[@adamlea6339]

At 10,000 feet the air pressure is around 700 mb compared to around 1,000mb at sea level, so yes there is 30% less oxygen

[@mikkdc]

It's true about the oxygen. In Cusco, oxygen per breath is actually 40% less than at sea level. Many 5 star hotels in that part of the world actually have oxygen pumped into the rooms and the lesser ones have it for sale as "oxy--shots", which is probably what was mentioned in this episode.

[@onbedoeldekut1515]

It looked like QB was drinking from the same branded bottle, what a coinkydink! 16:27

[@cryptosammy]

I thought the same

[@DewiDavies-dp2um]

Roosevelt went to the Panama canal building project because the morale was low and the job was going really slow and loads of Americans were going over for a job and within a month they were returning and also telling other Americans not to go over even if they only earn a dollar a day ...and loads were getting getting disintary and constantly getting bit by mosquitoes

[@Randi-Rabbit]

I'm new to your channel KB, I've so far watched everything "Idiot abroad" up until now, Looking forward to watching you enjoy more, and from what I've seen of your channel, there's tones of stuff yet to come, I'm from the same place as KP, Not London as most people think, I'm from Sale in Manchester, I grew up in the same decade, I have the same outlooks as Karl, I used to not understand the popularity he garnered with non-Mancunians, but after a while, I understood it's because we're not usually given this lime-light, I knew Karl before he became a producer of XFM, we didn't get on, I remember calling him a Bell-end because he wouldn't help me up the stairs with a heavy parcel from Argos I was trying to deliver to him, told me I should have come with more than one person, I had to struggle for more than my jobs worth because he outright refused. He wasn't wrong though, I was supposed to have another person aiding me with heavy items, but afterwards he invited me into his flat and made me a cuppa, so I kinda let it slide as I was fuckin' gasping. Anyway, we ended up in Altrincham about a month later when he needed to pick up a sofa he'd bought, he mentioned he was moving away to work so I told him if he needed a hand I'd be willing to help, so I gave him my details, during the ride over there I found out his Auntie was married to one of my relatives and we started talking about how kids these days didn't know they were alive, I remember he told me a about the way we could all just go out and spend all day on the streets without a care in the world but now there's nothing but mollycoddling in this younger generation. We got on quite well despite our initial negative exchange, stayed in touch for a good few years but I was given the choice to move with family to a Seaside Holiday (Vacation) part of the country 400 miles away so I snapped up the opportunity, about 10 years passed and we fell out of communication, and then one day in the late 2000's I remember hearing about this baldy manc twat with a head like a fucking orange called Karl Pilkington. I was humbled to find out it was the same guy who made me lug a flat packed wardrobe up 3 flights of stairs my self a decade ago. It's so surreal seeing him go around the world like he did and becoming a star from just an average, run of the mill everyday Mancunian because he peaked the interest of Ricky Gervais when he was his producer on the show.

[@steelpanther9568]

Comedian Karl Pilkington has revealed that he was offered the chance to go on I'm A Celebrity. The Idiot Abroad star, who was currently promoting the second series of The Ricky Gervais Show, said that putting up with the other contestants was what put him off signing up for the reality show. 🇬🇧L🤣L👍🏼

[@darylneate5475]

I lived on the same estate as Karl my brother was friends with him, he said even when karl was younger he moaned a lot lol I still know Karl's family, great channel guys keep it up!

[@imnosuperman9935]

Watching Depp vs Heard on Channel 4 british tv and seeing you guys making an appearance is brilliant!

[@CinobiteReacts]

Yeah it is 30% less oxygen! I looked it up, at sea level it's 20% o2, at Cusco it's around 14%, so that would make it about 30% less!

[@brocklesnarfan1990]

As a Brit it's hilarious and brilliant to see you two reacting to our brand of comedy, quick question though, do you Yanks ever struggle to understand our slang? Us Brits are known for our dry wit and colloquiums other cultures may not pick up on. Keep up the good work guys.

[@KingBoomer]

In the beginning yes. Now I understand a lot more, but sometimes it is still tough to pick up.

[@Maesterful]

@@KingBoomer Good man. It's all about context.

[@Chimponaut]

I'm Swedish and I understand it, so I'm guessing it can't be that hard to get.

[@yutehube4468]

There's so many he's not even watched yet, like "One Foot In The Grave".

[@lionelmassey5365]

​@yutehube4468 one foot in the grave is dogshit

[@carlhartwell7978]

40:09 Lol, I have a theory that at least half of 2nd hand boat sellers in the 80's comprised of Bullseye winners! 🤣

[@Wagoo]

What airport in Switzerland was this? The 3 major ones I can think of are only about 1200ft altitude north of the alps so shouldn't be any oxygen issues

[@pauljohn1985]

Moment of the reaction is when Queen Boomer says the pink dolphins are "Saggy Penis Pink" 😇

[@nevets9811]

"I didn't want to spoil it for you that he didn't do it... until the very end, seconds before it's revealed he didn't do it." lol

[@bradders9743]

Whyd you cut the ending? Best part

[@paulmackay2176]

Queen Boomer is an enigma. Couldn't handle the altitude of Switzerland but loves to go skydiving??

[@brianmoore6724]

Macchu Pichhu was worth the trip. And when you fly from Lima to Cuzco you go from sea level to 13000 and boy do you feel it. The wonder is around 7500 feet I think. You can handle the walk around there with relative ease. Loved my trip there...

[@acquiescefc]

Did the trip a few years ago. Cusco is actually higher than MP altitude. Went to Puno which is even higher. I dont believe Karl didnt want to go to the site he was literally 10 minutes away i presume site was closed as it was late and its a secure place and you need to book in advance.

[@janetthompson1581]

I stayed in Cusco for 3 weeks and felt the lack of oxygen. However we could buy coca leaves from the market and they really helped; more energy and helped with digestion.

[@Feuerbach1]

Someone had the leaves once when I was in college, you make a little packet with them and some kind of basic (ph wise) paste to release the alkaloids, really quite pleasant compared to the manic feeling of powdered cocaine

[@IanDarley]

What he's missing is the amazing ancient interlocking stonework that's cut so perfectly that you can't slide paper between.

[@williambilly3269]

Always good to watch your channel guys 😂👍🍻🇬🇧

[@teknotony]

I dreamt about going to Machu Picchu for 30yrs , in 2019 i a finally made it .... Living the dream !

[@RonniePickaring]

Do you like llamas?

[@IanDarley]

He is correct about the oxygen. BTW, nowhere in the US is 30,000 feet above sea level, Everest is 29,000 ft.

[@maxplanck9055]

In Florida below sea level is safer than living over the sinkhole limestone in central Florida! Spontaneous overnight caving without consent is a sport in Florida!😀 rooftopping in tampa is safer during a flood. Nature is constructing an archipelago there, no one consulted the residents! Get a high apartment to avoid disappointment! Much love 😆✌️❤️🇬🇧

[@charlesfrancis6894]

I was at 9,000 ft while visiting the grand canyon and noticed it was a little harder to breath but became acclimatized after a short while but i assume there is a point when even becoming acclimatized does not work.

[@Cheepchipsable]

Usually it takes a long time to acclimatise as you body needs to make more blood cells to get mote oxygen from the atmosphere. Also there is a risk of altitude sickness, but I am not sure when that starts being a thing.

[@trebornewo3354]

Trekking in the wilds really brings home how safe normal everyday life really is. I remember being on a group tour in Peru and we turned up to a village to camp for the night. The village had built a fenced compound for us because a pack of hungry wolves had come down from the mountains to prowl the village in the nights before our arrival (or was that a tale they tell all the "tourists" to add spice to their stop-over?). Also, we were advised against eating the local wildlife as their bodies could be riddled with internal & external parasites. Beans and rice it was then.

[@Unethical.FandubsGames]

As to the parasites: This isn't a problem if you know which organs to remove and how well to cook the food. Dead parasites are just dead... but not everything cooks at the same rate and is therefore safer to remove parts, cook separate, or just discard. Tourists are considered to be idiots that don't know any better: So they just say "don't".

[@kevinty7]

Nice one Big KB and wee QB👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽 ”saggy penis pink” is what I painted the bathroom with👍🏽😅

[@brianmoore6724]

You take a train from a nearby town to the base of the wonder. Then you take a bus up a hell of a road to the wonder. Then you walk around the wonder. It's not a helicopter. The 11 hour hike is not necessary. But a lot do it for the fun. People of all ages and sizes make it to Macchu Picchu. It's still a hell of an effort to get there but it's amazing.

[@eadweard.]

Sod that.

[@shadybacon3451]

Think the Queen was getting mixed up between feet and miles from 41:00 onwards, 10000 miles up and you would be seeing satellites orbiting. 4000-5000 miles and you would be reaching the earths upper atmosphere.

[@piphead]

Yo, hope u told queen boomer u were on the depp vs turd documentary on channel 4 last nite. U guys are famous now 😁

[@janetthompson1581]

Did go to Machu Pichu; amazing but could hardly walk the next day - steps over every shape, height and width!

[@ersaviation3031]

That airplane is a DeHavilland Twin Otter which is a very versatile aircraft.

[@davidcorbett1713]

Brilliant Karl at his best 😂 he just honest says what he sees and no frills this guy 😂

[@richiefearn4214]

Great video ,a chap called Ed Stafford walked along the Amazon it’s a great watch and highly dangerous 👍

Wherever you live, there's at least one crazy person. If there isn't, it's you!

[@Maesterful]

[@Unethical.FandubsGames]

We have to define: "Wherever you live". Are we talking: Room, Building. Street, Neighbourhood, Postcode, Town, City, County/State, Country, Continent, Planet?

[@spacebace]

At sea level (i.e. Lima, Peru) oxygen saturation in the air is about 21% and barometric pressure is around 760mmHg (millimetres of mercury). As one ascends oxygen saturation stays relatively constant but air density drops, which means the % of oxygen per breath reduces (imagine oxygen molecules moving further and further away from each other at higher altitudes). For examples, at 3,600m (just above Cusco), barometric pressure is around 480mmHg, and oxygen per breath is 40% less that at sea level!

[@benwheeldon9055]

10,000ft maybe but not miles, unless you’re a satellite 😂

[@girlsdrinkfeck]

i know right lol

[@nevrynkinori3627]

My favourite team does it again. =) Keep up the charm!

[@lilacfloyd]

10,000 miles? The International Space Station orbits at 250 miles.

[@EdDesigns]

[@laughingoutloud8612]

I didn’t believe Karl about the tribes that only count up to 3. Until recently when I saw another travel documentary where the tribe being visited only counted up to 2!

[@mattierenton701]

[@jasondavid3969]

[@alecv4622]

There only going up from sea level about 2 ish miles. Its only 60 miles up to be in space

[@The-Underbaker]

After Martial Arts and Rugby my knees are knackered so there's no way i'd be able to do that walk there!

[@mrh678]

The summit of Mount Everest has around 6.9% Oxygen in the air. It varies depending on air pressure and temperature. You'll find races with good physical fitness were born and raised at high altitude. They would be able to compete in say for instance marathons for longer than someone who has lived at sea level all of their life because of a higher concentration of red blood cells to transport oxygenated blood around the body. Oh thanks made me yawn too 🤣 They're infectious. Btw can't wait to meet Baby Boomer, the nickname has got a ring to it lol.

[@Cheepchipsable]

I could be wrong but they might have been getting a high off the frog. The "village" seemed like a tourist trap to me, which is why they asked for their "gifts" back. Plus it seems a bit suss they were shooting into a target with concentric circles - seem a very western idea of a target.

[@davidmee1822]

‘Get in the pot!’ Hahahaha

[@onbedoeldekut1515]

"How do you say 'hello' again?" "Hello".

[@kennwan9917]

@30:38 Change your fire alarm batteries guys!

[@CroftyOriginal]

At sea level the air contains 20.9% oxygen and at 10,000 ft it is 14.3%.

[@mattwells1772]

I think u mean meters not miles queen! Love you both! Love Karl too xx

[@maxplanck9055]

At 3000 metres or 10,000 feet you begin to get reduced oxygen,this is the limit for tree growth too. At 4000 metres/13,000 ft the effect is more extreme,fatigue disorientation and unconsciousness are common symptoms leading to a cerebral edima in extreme cases, known to mountaineers. Ascend slowly!✌️❤️🇬🇧

[@4Kandlez]

Karl is my spirit animal, I cant imagine going through all that crap, the heat, the bugs, the shits, the lack of oxygen, unable to sleep just to look at some old stone ruins built by head hunting human sacrificing cannibals, no thanks. It must have been hell on earth for the low born regular people forced to labour their entire life building this place

I don't think Karl robbed the viewers... He robbed himself. It is easy to access by train then bus from Cusco. Ricky and Steve totally stitched him up making him do the trail.

Hey Muppets 😂 Hail the Queen who is, if I may say, looking divine! Apologies if we are keeping you awake little Queen, lol! 😂😂 I was almost going to say, I wonder if there is anything on this planet that could make Karl happy but I was shocked to see him actually smile on the boat ride, lol! 😂😂 I'm surprised the guy doesn't have high blood pressure or something. Great video as always. Have a fantastic day, take care!

Ricky is amazing but the more of karl you see you realise karl is the root of lots of Ricky's stand up.

[@12hoursAwake12hoursAsleep]

You should watch Karl getting a wig, it looked amazing on him and even when he looked at himself in the mirror, he had the biggest smile, he then walked around all happy, then sent the picture to his girlfriend Suzanne, she hated it (jelous) he then removed it. Was quite sad actually. Think she felt Threatened....
