Whenever Ricky says “Karl, thoughts?” You know absolute gold is coming

[@willmcpherson2]

"Go on then"

[@thomasdove2908]

When he takes that deep breath as soon as they ask him,love it!

[@TheJokerEffect]

I love how relaxed Ricky and Stephen are when Karl is with them. They don't have to worry about trying to be funny, they just keep poking the magic 8 ball of comedy that is Karl Pilkington.

I don't think Karl moans at all. He simply says it how it is and cuts through all the crap. He says what a lot of people are thinking but too afraid to say it. He is just what television needs and long may his career go on. I think he would make the perfect prime minister. ..

ohh hell yeah id love him as Prime Minister :D

Karl relates to 4 different topics that were already used on the Ricky gervais show "plumbing u bends business" , " slippers for elephant ", "avoiding clipboard people" , "Edna going on holiday with a tan"

[@TWisM009]

He's just telling the same stories to a different audience...

[@MartinEiken]

I noticed that as well. I really hope he is genuine and that none of the things hes done are scripted, but after watching this I'm not too sure anymore. It's almost word for word exactly the things he has said before

[@almsivi123]

@@MartinEiken ok so if you tell the same story twice I'll assume you're lying, what a normal way of thinking

[@whisperingintothevoid]

To be fair, my fiance probably heard all my stories at least 5 times. If he had new stories for every new show / interview, I'd have though he was scripted at best, a pathological liar at worst.

[@Christoff070]

@@MartinEiken course he's genuine. Rocky explained it best in one xfm episode, where a reporter called Chris Campling doubted Karl and suggested it was all scripted. So Ricky said it takes him and Steve about a month to write half an hour of script for their tv shows, so how long would it take to write for two hours of xfm with Karl, every week? Physically impossible to write such genius that Karl has.

[@Christoff070]

[@ryanlewis4556]

i agree with karl, every year hundreds of millions of pounds are given to africa to pay for clean water and mosquito nets, yet every year it seems to get worse and worse. How about we actually solve the problem instead of just helping 2% of them.

[@mikecf9580]

It isn't getting worse. It's progressively getting better each year. That's not to say that millions of lives couldn't be saved every year if us privileged folk lived a little less lavishly for a few years though.

[@ryanlewis4556]

money shouldnt go towards mosquito nets, it should go towards research for a cure for HIV and a water system that pumps water from the sea to where those people live, if they can pump oil across africa they can do the same with water

[@mikecf9580]

***** You make it sound like malaria isn't a huge problem that's the most easy and immediate thing to address.

[@ryanlewis4556]

but we've got a cure for malaria, and by the way i dont try to sound mean or anything
