Can Karl Pilkington Survive in Alaska? | An Idiot Abroad S2 Ep4 | Absolute Jokes

Karl Pilkington heads to Alaska as he continues his around-the-world trip, and Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant have arranged for him to watch whales and take part in other activities.
Brit Karl Pilkington has led a sheltered life. Not having done any traveling, he enjoys living within the comforts of what he knows, basically that being what is purely British. As such, his friends, Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, decide to send Karl to various parts of the world to experience unfamiliar cultures. Stephen believes that travel is a life broadening venture, and hopes that Karl will indeed feel like his life is enriched by these travels. Ricky, however, hopes that Karl will hate every minute of his travels. For Ricky, this experiment is the most expensive gag for his own pleasure that he could have conceived.

The Whales can write Karl off their bucket list now

[@jinstinky501]

They finally saw a perfectly spherical head.

[@titanomachy2217]

Whale 1: "I saw Carl Pilkington just now!" Whale 2: "Here in Alaska? What twaddle. Karl Pilkington lives in England, everyone knows that you silly sod." Whale 1: "I swear, he's lying on the deck of a fishing boat up there on the surface." Whale 2: "Yeah, right. What business does a comedian have being on a fishing boat?"

[@justaguyonabike2055]

From the viewpoint off a polar bear "an iglo is just a fridge full of food" -K.Pilkington

[@richyh4474]

When he was trying to watch king Kong and shouted at the fishermen. "Watching fucking king Kong ere" 😅🤣

[@ShawnD613]

And it’s not even working and the theme song is just driving him insane xD

[@KateHen]

That part had me creased 😅 and the part shortly after where the guy is yelling out to him and he goes "what? What? WHATTT?" and does the angry full body shake. Totally relatable when I've felt super angry when someone can't hear me replying 😅

[@Ogsonofgroo]

When I'm feel dumb and sorry for myself, Karl gives me hope and humour enough to carry on. Awesome series which is possibly impossible to repeat the like again. Thanks OP for getting some of these hilarious adventures up!

[@Lou-ei4su]

Idk why but 'Zac Affron?? Fucks sake" utterly destroys me every single time

[@gamaray992]

“The longest intro” was the music from the dvds play and extra screen 😂

[@deathkampdrone]

I like the odd friendship Karl is forming with the trucker while on the road. Just two lads basically understanding each other. Men's talk about igloos being an actual fridge of fresh food for polar bears. Relatable :D Totally cracks me up when Karl asks if this is the eskimo version of The Golden Girls tho...

[@christianblack7296]

when Karl calls dogs Twats xD

[@olekaarvaag9405]

There are so many great quotes from this. Like him saying he's good at jumping and riding the trolly at a supermarket, being energy efficient because he's bald, laying dead on his back in glacier water, raising his hand and saying "what's this about?". And I just have to point out Karl believes someone caught a deepwater anglerfish, put it in an aquarium and use it as a reading lamp.

[@marv5078]

Haha

[@sonny9493]

The reading lamp is incredible

[@SuperUltraMegaMike]

"this show is a waste of hd, it might as well not be in color"

[@petesorensenguitar]

>gets to the literally top of the world >"I thought they'd have a cafe"

[@philippawallacedunlop9393]

I can’t believe Ricky’s given the rights to these full episodes up for KZbin, they’ve got to be doing well these days 💰 to have gifted us

[@CaznaNaakap]

omfg my stomach hurts. You really nailed it with this Ricky. Carl is a natural. Have not laughed so much in years. Really thank you so much. Classic 😂😂🙏

[@firefistx7477]

Them old ladies were so wholesome

[@KateHen]

Ive been feeling really down lately and honestly Karl Pilkington cheers me up. He is unintentionally hilarious. Him yelling at the guy over the King Kong DVD and him yelling at the cameraman who was telling him the whales were visible was iconic 😅

[@SeArCh4DrEaMz]

18:22 HAHAHHA LMAO 🤣😂🤣😅🤣😆😆😂🤣😂 "her eyes are knackered, her ears are crap, she was in charge of the bike.." xdd

[@marv5078]

Hahaha 😂😂😂😂

[@Jonathan-je9uh]

Honestly, this must be one of the best series of all mankind, everyone has me in stitches, I am choking to death hahha..

[@marieblanchette2221]

Same here. I can't stop, hilarious so fun, & a time guzzler @ User.

[@claywhaat9191]

Then once it’s over.. life has no moaning 😂

[@ToweTiih]

​@@claywhaat9191the moaning of life ye😂 its Awesome!

[@danhaley4465]

Ricky’s hysterical laugh is great.

[@whatfleshmeanstoskeleton]

"Eskimo version of golden girls" brilliant

[@Jessebella1]

That was my fav part for sure, Eskimo version of golden girls loool If you look at it, it pretty much is!

[@avyitis3425]

"If a polar bear comes around the corner, you gotta wrestle it!" I'm in fucking stitches. Didn't think I'd be laughing this much and this hard the entire time.

[@danhaley4465]

This show needs to come back.. ❤

[@firefistx7477]

That king kong intro part was halirious

[@anardine6176]

"Kingue Kongue 'ere"

[@stevemchale9775]

He's not an idiot at all lol guys bang on.

[@sofie1065]

Love the sights of Alaska and also, this dude is funny as hell.

[@roraz114]

He is very funny. Apparently his podcasts with Ricky and Steve have been a life saver for lots of folks during the pandemic.

[@buggslimo]

@@roraz114 even before that

[@roraz114]

Buggs Slimo of course!

[@marv5078]

21:00 "Where I am now, I'm like in a giant fridge, that's gotten out of hand. It's fucking freezing." 😂😂😂😭😭😭

[@jeffvance26]

This is good just like all of carls videos the man is a beast!!!!

[@TheMsdmeanor]

This was the funniest 😆 too good thx

[@clairejohnstone89]

i’ve seen them all loads!! yet i always come back to see if there are any i’ve missed just incase 🤣 just absolute belly laughs every time.

[@platelbaats3775]

42:04 watching Carl watch whales is better than watching the whales

[@oscarl.3563]

_"It's making Karl do things that other people want to do before they die."_

[@jarikinnunen1718]

I living in north and winter is like that every year. White clean snow is best part, after dull and dirty autumn. Bite of cold sometimes is normal. I never go into deep snow for "walking" to somehere. It can kill. You need plan B every moment to survive. In deep snow you have only plan A.🥶

[@elinorehansson-boe7282]

Love Karl☺️👏👏Awesome serie😄

[@kennyc587]

I so wanted her to set up a little souvenir shop when she gets out at Point Barrow. She's great

[@lachazaroony]

"Leprechauns prefer to be called Gnomes." You learn something new everyday.

[@minigrande1939]

Must. Remember that if I ever meet 1

[@ToweTiih]

AHAHAHAHA im just thinking about series3 with Warwick Davis, who played one in Leprechaun from 93🤣

[@fabulouslyK10]

Just too funny as always I can’t stop laughing. Carl is perfect for the role! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@tempestive1]

He is indeed, GrabulouslyK11 :)

[@Flipplt]

This is awesome

[@DOW-E]

30:16 “how many hours we doing?! How many!” Love the distress in his voice. Love this show

[@DOW-E]

38:38 and on love it! 😂❤️🇨🇦

[@DOW-E]

Sea sickness is brutal. Seriously terrible. When he said why can’t I just be sick. Lol oh man torment for sure specially when you ‘now you ain’t close to home. Felt for the bloke

[@-Anjel]

As a Finn a couple of things... Why didn't they have cross country skis? Why did they have downhill skis, when they weren't downhill skiing? If they didn't have cross country skis, why didn't the have snowshoes in that deep snow? Do not eat snow, always carry water. Eating snow will cause blisters, and make your mouth bleed. Eating snow is also incredibly energy consuming. Why don't they have outhouses? They have to deal with polar bears, why wouldn't they then make a secure outhouse for themselves? Why don't they at least have designated area that is used for that, so that they would know what snow they can eat, if they want to eat it. Why was the sledge only connected to one point? In Finland we have a harness specifically designed for ahkio (a specific type of sledge, made for winter trekking), the sledge is connected on both sides to the hips, so it wont flip over. The harness also evenly distribute the weight of the sledge, making it easier to pull your gear instead of carrying it. The set up they used looked exhausting, nobody in their right mind would use that. Why wasn't the sledge covered, there are so many different types why use that one? Use the right gear for the situation. Get a covered sledge, put all your gear in it, use a harness, and cross country skis or snow shoes. Do not try cross country skiing with downhill skis. I get it's funny to see someone struggle, but that was intentionally designed to be as hard as possible. Winter trekking isn't that hard or exhausting, it has it's own challenges, but with the right gear it is fun. That is like taking someone ice skating with roller skates.

[@ASDASD34RDFS]

They're Americans. I can't understand why they make all the effort to bring a sleigh if they are then just going to keep like half of the equipment on their backs in huge backbacks. I mean the American even has a fucking cowboy hat in the winter lol, they should have just used a proper sleigh with cross-country skiis and they'd be so better off.

[@Elvizzzzzzzzzz]

@@ASDASD34RDFS They are British, not Americans.

[@KNYD]

@@Elvizzzzzzzzzz Only Karl is British, everyone else are Alaskan, which is in the US. The guide who provided the wrong gear, and the people who build the cabins without outhouses are all Americans.

[@antonemilit2178]

The whole point of the show is to make it as unpleasant as possible for Karl :)

[@ASDASD34RDFS]

@@Elvizzzzzzzzzz Are you serious right now?

[@mcsuibhne005]

It's 60 degrees here. How uses Fahrenheit in the UK Ricky? Nobody, that's who!

[@sonny9493]

Thought that myself

[@EMD_HOKIO]

22:34 best part of the whole series

[@ronburgundyspetfish9039]

TRYING TOO WATCH KING KONG HERE!!! Lmao

[@DaemosTv]

“Suzanne is into waisting energy using hairdryer and all, I’m energy efficient i am bald no need hairdryer or hot water. If she cared so much why she don’t shave her head”. LMAO🤣😂

[@marieblanchette2221]

Man I am in. I laughed laughed, more please Karl from Canada.

[@puppetmastersofficial]

Marty, a wilderness survival legend!

[@greggdiggins2943]

Honestly…in Canada we use snowshoes 😂

[@corinn123]

or skis with skins FFS

[@alistairclark6814]

Karl is a natural at dog sledding. People usually fall over and get dragged.

[@syok4929]

I've never heard the "Leprechauns prefer Gnomes" bit until today!

[@2much4skin]

man I cried my eyes out

[@gazooJG2]

dude you had me pissin myself laughing when you went dog sledding OMFG your hilarious lolololol

[@dariuszk44]

I think it's stage cos it's too funny to be real 😂

[@buljan1ipo]

What’s the point in this program being in HD, it’s a waste of time of even being in color 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Yourmomma568]

That dude is awsome af. Dunno what Karl's problem with him is. That guy is hard af, and still the nicest friendliest dude ever. 10/10.

[@berits.2346]

"That dude" constantly asking useless questions but not actually helping while carl is struggling, singing a silly song when all Carl wants is sleeping etc.

[@kyleorourke6340]

I would've let Carl try to shovel himself a path while on their hike 😂 He would've learned quickly how much harder it would have been

ok the first guy has clearly spent a little too much time isolated from humans

Those “huskies” ain’t huskies lol

[@berits.2346]

Sled dogs aren't necessarily Huskies. I've seen Doberman, German Pointer and Malinois in championship races.

[@titanomachy2217]

Are they Malamutes?

Ricky is so cruel. It's his nature...😀

"Energy" is not gonna save you from a Polar bear mate, they are bigger than Grizzly bears, and even more fierce and they will gladly eat a Human.

I love that Ricky is all concerned for the dogs, yet they bought Karl the coat with the coyote fur trim....sigh.

❤

[@berits.2346]

Well, I must agree with that critic, that watching this would make my balls hurt ( if I had any), not because it's boring but because it's agonizing. Poor Karl. Gervais is all about fighting animal cruelty but he is cruel to Karl. I hope he made him a millionaire at least.

[@TheLiamMurphy]

Is this guy for real?

[@macroman52]

No one has a list of things to do after they die - is "before you die" necessary?
