An Idiot Abroad S01E08: Karl Comes Home Reaction

[@higofyp]

One thing to note is that Karl is very Northern. We have a more blunt style, owing to the phrase "It's grim up North". His relationship with Suzanne is very well suited as she shows love in other ways that makes him happy, as does he. We can be passionate, fiery, and whatever, but our love is more often expressed through practical things. Karl mentions that he doesn't do much cooking because he's shit at it, so Suzanne shows her love by taking care of it. He shows his by doing his part and making sure the dishes are always taken care of.

[@AfterWorkReactions]

Dude your super insightful I love how you are able to pull so much from his small mentions of Suzanne . That makes so much sense and is as clear as day now. Shows how dense I am all I got out of his few mentions of her was she has a fat butt , doesn't listen to him and says she can live without him lol . Appreciate this I was feeling bad for the guy .

[@breachofthepeace1829]

They have a dishwasher now though so he doesn’t do much now

[@NoContextOasis]

That’s not necessarily true. It’s not just that he’s northern, it’s also a generational thing. I’m from Manchester and there is a very clear line between older and newer generation of northerners and their outlook on life

Love being up north me. (Leeds) 😁 Born and bred up here I am. Wouldnt live no place else in england

[@jayc5373]

- Eli - I disagree, in season 2 it seemed liked Rickey tried too hard to make it just about annoying Karl. Felt really forced.

[@shanustheanus]

@@jayc5373 what? If you were watching 'An Idiot Abroad' hoping for a genuine travel documentary, I think you may have missed the point. Season 2 is far more entertaining than season 1.

[@AfterWorkReactions]

Im looking forward to it

[@jayc5373]

shanustheanus - yeah I was watching it hoping for a genuine travel documentary, what? You seem to be the one missing the point. I found they tried way to hard to force Karl into uncomfortable situations in season 2 rather than putting him in situations where his natural comedy from moaning and groaning comes out. I found season 2 way too contrived and far less entertaining and funny than season 1. Just my opinion.

Karl showing his childhood holiday park was just so endearing and sad.. I felt for him, seeing his fond childhood memories in a new light like that.. I hope he can see how kids experience things differently and that doesn't make his memories shit.

[@Lateralus292]

Loved these videos man, I'm a bloke from Wales where Karl went on his caravan holiday. When he was on the XFM radio show (which you should check out) with RIcky and Steve he said every day feels like a depressing cloudy Sunday in Wales. He was totally right.

[@theindiediary5950]

Watching this series with you was great. I never watched an idiot abroad before this. It was hard not to go and binge-watch all the episodes on my own after watching the first one. Look forward to more. I'm addicted to Karl now. :]

[@AfterWorkReactions]

Thanks bud I appreciate you watching

[@isthisjustfantasy7557]

Welcome to the weird and wonderful world of Karl Dilkington 😀 if you haven't already, you need to listen to the XFM radio show episodes and the podcasts. They're pure gold. There's also a channel on here called Yak who has loads of compilations of all the stuff from those shows, e.g. Karl's school days, his parents, his weird science etc. And Podrot has the shows on podcast apps, I use castbox but they're on Spotify and Apple as well. Thankfully there's sooo many hours of Karl to enjoy :)

Worzel Gummidge,John Inman etc it's pretty tricky for foreigners but c'est la vie you can't pick up all cultural references when you watch someone else's tv and it's better than a mid-Atlantic kop out.

I'm sure someone else has commented but just in case, they do sell a variety of Karl Pilkington shirts, including one with his cartoon face that just says, "Alright." Amazon, Ebay, etc. I've found that a lot of times you will have to order from the UK for certain ones, just fyi.

I still use the term “ballache” regularly when I’m trying to tell people that something is a hassle or more trouble than it should be, despite moving to Canada 7 years ago. I get a lot of strange reactions but it just sums up the situation better than any alternative phrase I’ve heard here so far.

Steve actually watched the carnival through through the window into his neighbours apartment when he was in Brazil, he told that story on the XFM radio show. He’d sprained his ankle I believe, and had the shits for the rest of his stay. Now, I don’t know if he’s been back there since, but I definitely wouldn’t have been back after that experience 😂😂

Hi Josh & Taylor, from London! I am just watching the Karl Comes Home episode now. Loved the one you posted with your Brother!!!!! I had rewatched Karl dozens of times, and highly recommend The Moaning of Life, both seasons. The Death episode is fascinating! Also you can listen to his old radio shows with Ricky and Steve on here too. Lastly, try Derek and Afterlife, both made by Ricky. Karl is in Derek too. Thank you for making me laugh so hard I cry 😂 The highlight of this in the China episode! Keep enjoying and posting, Your videos brighten up my day. Stay safe lovelies.xxxxx Oh, and the Derek outtakes are the funniest you’ll ever watch!!! Both series of them are on KZbin too.xx
