An Idiot Abroad S02E02: Trans Siberian Express Reaction

[@kolerocks1]

Bro I’m seriously so happy you guys are so into the Ricky Steve and Karl trio. Been some of my favorite content for the past 10 years or so.

[@bigshagger8277]

fully agree. what's incredible is people uploud old videos of the trio every other day and all of them get at least 50k views... I don't think they realise how big the numbers are that they have pulled over the years.

[@kolerocks1]

@@russthompson9080 Which show? An idiot abroad season 1-3, and the moaning of life are loosely scripted and high level of production. So definitely scripted, checked and approved before final production by standards and practices, etc. And I agree it’s not all improv by any means. But Karl is a real person, a bit smarter than they put on but definitely very ignorant about lots of things. And I’m sure he knows how funny he is. But his personality is real, the way he reacts to things and the bizarre opinions he forms are real. Even though they play them up for the show. His interactions with people are real and generally unscripted. It would be impossible to fully script that from a production standpoint. But he had a producer with him close at hand all throughout the series guiding the interactions and activities for sure. It wouldn’t matter to what extent it was scripted or not, because that’s how all good content is produced. It’s all about the end product which is a good laugh and a funny insight into the world through Karl’s eyes. I also liked their podcast “The Ricky Gervais Show.” Which is essentially just Ricky being the cheeky smug narcissist that he is, Karl doing his bit, and Steve being sort of the middle man. Really funny chemistry. And Ricky is sort of playing a devils advocate narcissistic character of himself the same way Karl plays up certain things but it’s all for the comedy. And also loosely scripted. I figured that most people understand how that works in the U.K. too.

"Bullshit man" has got to be one of the most unique superpowers that anyone has thought of in the last 30 years.

It’s so nice for me to see that our British humour can be understood and enjoyed by different nationalities. It really shows how comedy is a universal language

[@simonsky42]

I dont think British humor is as unique as most British people think.

[@ingrid_inthesky]

Why wouldn't we understand it? I've been exposed to this form of humor countless times throughout life🤷🏽‍♀️ It's not like America is closed off from the rest of the world and out of touch or anything😆🌎

[@liamcraddock9539]

@@ingrid_inthesky I find it quite interesting to see to see other nationalities react to it. Mainly there's a lot of British words, phrases/ sayings and references which I'm intrigued to see if others know them. I guess as long as you know what bollocks and tea are you can get what's going on 😂

[@ingrid_inthesky]

@@liamcraddock9539 Oh it's way more than bollocks haha you guys say things you don't realize American's don't know. I remember hearing trainers and not knowing what it was. "Sort" was used in many ways. I started seeing an older English man at 23 and he told me off and at the end, he said "right, sorted." Lmao, I was like "um..." but he had already walked away. Anyway, I always understood the humor but what you explain is another thing cause we can skip that and still get the joke but idioms and phrases are definitely different. I do understand them now having dated a very English man😃

[@krissuyx]

@@ingrid_inthesky The phrases that americans normally get confused by tend to be very self explanitory to me. "Sorted" is one of them. "Mozzy bites" is another. "Having a kip", "taking the piss" and so on. I'm not a native english speaker but I caught on immediately to the meanings thanks to the context they were used in.

[@Peatingtune]

The guy Karl called at the end is Warwick Davis, an actor who started his career by being one of the Ewoks in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. He also starred in a fantasy movie called Willow, which you may have seen. In the third season of Idiot Abroad he joins Karl as his travel partner.

[@park24bird]

Have you ever seen Life’s Too Short? I started following him in that when it came out. It’s hilarious :D

[@LUckybones25]

He also played the Leprechaun in the old 80’s-90’s Leprechaun movies.

[@atway70]

Also had 2 roles in Harry Potter, Flitwick and the Gringotts Bank Teller. He was in Episode I and Solo as well, playing Weazel.

When I Visited the U.S.S.R. In the mid ‘80’s, we rode the finest train in the Soviet Union, the Red Star Express. It was nice, but it smelled like urine in most of it. The toilets used no water. You went potty, hit a lever, and a trap door opened underneath the train, splattering the contents all over the tracks beneath. Fascinating!

[@wmuchmore]

LOL CCCP

[@jaytrace1006]

That’s the one.

[@bushcrafty7274]

Uk they empty onto the tracks 💩

[@zahrans]

Splattering the contents all over the tracks was pretty standard fare all over the world. Still is in many countries.

[@vaahtobileet]

eh, the older model trains probably still do that here in Finland. In the 90's and early 00's that's what all train journeys were like before the newer Pendolino and InterCity trains

The way they do the zero gravity maneuver in a plane is pretty fascinating .

[@AlexRoseGames]

7:40 banya doesn't hurt. the thing is, the sauna is set so hot (over 210 fahrenheit sometimes) that even moving just slightly is painful. the leaves are covered in cold water so they take away the heat from you, it feels great, it's like relief. Then you jump in a cold barrel or river (or they use a shower). when I was doing banya I was like "WATER PLEASE" to the russians haha they were like "yeah okay here", I dunno how they managed to stand around beating someone with leaves without dying but yeah it's just leaves, it doesn't hurt

You know what great about An Idiot Abroad is when Karl does these crazy ass things and then the camera pans or tilts away and then you hear a voice message from Stephen Merchant or Ricky Gervais.

And Frankenstein's lab , yall are excellent youtube company to watch these show and videos with.

[@djsteves554]

In those things you apparently feel like you're floating, so it's probably more akin to the zero gravity thing that Karl skipped

Russians, what do they know about sauna? It's supposed to be fresh birch leaves. It increases the heat, but Karl is on the floor level which is weird. You sit high up and use the birch branches on yourself. The leaves are soft when fresh and wet. It doesn't hurt, just gets really hot.
