You definitely serve octopus in the USA, a lot of European based cuisines use it (Italian, Greek, Spanish, French) so you'll often find it on menus.

[@Nordorf]

They tried to say something about how you eat squid or calamari but not octopus. And although it is true that squid is not the same as octopus, both are eaten. Octopus tends to be very rich in flavour, while squid meat tends to be tougher and smoother raw, but gets tender and firm when cooked, which allows it to suck up more added flavour/spices. But yes.. BOTH are eaten.

[@PiglipsMaximus]

I got octopus at a buffet in Oklahoma baby octopus (I say I got, I didn’t but my friend did) little alien on the plate

[@JustCallMeAnything229]

I’m loving your curse words. If you think that’s swearing you’ll get one hell of a shock when you come to the UK 😂😂

[@IAVAIN]

Love that Daniel says Karl talks more about Insects than Suzanne in his Diary, then in the first sentence he mentions both

[@phueal]

Episodes like this are how you know that Karl is a real person. Some people think that he's a character that Ricky and Steve have written, or perhaps a comedian in his own right who puts on the Karl "persona" for comedy. But I honestly believe that there is not a script writer or comedian anywhere in the world who could come up with the things which Karl says. You literally "couldn't make it up". Only Karl's brain is capable of generating these thoughts.

"If moths had eyes would they be happier How do they know they're not dead? Cavemen hunting for food, But not before they style the hair on their head. What would last longer in Dinosaur times, A blind man wouldn't stand a chance, Not with all them rocks about. I'd rather be a blind moth." - Karl Pilkington

It would be spiteful to put Jellyfish In a trifle

[@Psichotica7]

You have no idea how much I look forward to these. Thank you guys so much ❤ love from Australia!

[@rorz999]

Octopus is actually really nice when it's cooked properly! If not, it's really chewy. I had octopus a couple of times in Japan and it was great

[@Cotsos88]

We eat octopus in Greece, it's amazing grilled, boiled ,however you cook it.

[@emmanuelgoldspleen2905]

Yeah 'ave another one.

[@united1990]

Lmao at your “curse” words. Americans are so tame in that regard lol.

[@bblair2627]

In Karls's world, you always get one Twin who is a bit snide and all Jellyfish are snidey and untrustworthy and dont even start on about Ants!

[@fionabarr6064]

I’ve had octopus. If it’s properly cooked it’s wonderful but if not it’s really chewy ❤

[@nez9751]

I had it last month on holiday in Portugal it was gorgeous, had it several times love it

[@jameswilde614]

Octopus is eating all over the place. Either cooked low and slow, or high and quick

[@JJJ-7]

9:51 people eat octopus all over the world lmao

[@sargonsblackgrandfather2072]

I like how you just jump in straight away. The amount of channels that will waffle for ten minutes before starting the clip

[@gedhoughton9523]

See weird stuff as you go further down into the sea. True, we know more about space than we do our own oceans.

[@Thescottishguyreacts]

When he says an enemy round every corner in the sea I think he says anemone which fits perfectly lol

[@rikurodriguesneto6043]

I thunk he's trying to say, if you have to choose between trying to be perfect and being useless, choose useless. There's a kind of perfection there too. Thanks for the great reaction again, guys! :D

[@percyplays8842]

Octopus is an extremely popular dish in most seafood restaurants

[@chrisellis3797]

Octopus is lovely. Had a lot in Mexico on holiday a few weeks ago but it is readily available here in the UK

[@annother3350]

yes 3 trays of frozen octopus for £10 in morrisons!

[@rorz999]

@@bethcushway458 squid is nicer than octopus tbf, but sometimes I'll eat octopus for the novelty

[@emmanuelgoldspleen2905]

It's an odd looking thing alive. It's a snidey thing like I've said to ya. I just think ... yeah, 'ave anuther one.

[@chriscjad]

Octopus is very common in Mediterranean cuisine. It’s pretty good when well cooked

[@stevensalmon1318]

22:12 inanimate objects and fruit are good. "Shat up you melon" or "What a plum" ... "Dont be a plank" 😂👍

[@RussianLizard94]

Crabs are pretty much the same physically everywhere in the world. Octopus are pretty much eaten in most countries 😂

[@Wagoo]

I've SEEN a human sized elephant.. they don't pop out fully grown!

[@the98themperoroftheholybri33]

Fish can grow larger than you expect, so Karl is right, but they grow up to a point that their organs can handle so a 7ft goldfish is a bit ridiculous. Most of the time people have tanks too small for their fish which causes their spines to be compacted

[@stephenbishop7962]

Yes you have it in usa

[@bipolarewok]

I wish karl had a blog or something with links to the sites where he gets all these things or pictures of the articles, just to see how many are written by crazy people, how many are from the uk equivalent to the onion and how many don't actually say what karl think they say

[@majbrat]

No one mentions Carl's great joke, "Anenome around every corner."

[@emmanuelgoldspleen2905]

Did he actually intend for that? I didn't think so. But it is genius.

[@jamiepetereit7828]

bugs and insects are actually different (bugs have mouth parts for piercing and sucking, insects have two pairs of wings and three pairs of jointed legs), it's interesting how the US and the UK use bugs and insects separately as a blanket term

[@brianroman4114]

It's more common in Puerto Rico but walmarts in the states will have at least 1 option of canned octopus or squid

[@rorz999]

OMG I can't imagine eating it canned 🤢

[@MilliGaming86]

Loved this show, been a while since I watched it last, good times getting high and watching this along with idiot abroad lol

[@vaudevillian7]

I mean you can definitely get octopus in the US

[@shaun-hoppy]

Bugs are types of insect with no jaw parts it eats food through a straw like tube, insects have a jaw that can bite/chew it's food, ladybirds are insects (beetles) not bugs, I knew I'd get to use that information one day, i love information on the point of useless, I once researched (3 years) why we stick our tongues out the corner of our mouths when we concentrate

[@sarahgreen653]

I need to know the answer for the tongue thing now you've mentioned it.

[@ericforsyth]

Yes, so ladybirds/ladybugs are neither birds (obviously) or bugs.

[@zeezmusic7245]

Mate I was managing a restaurant in NY for a while. We had grilled octopus on the menu as a appetiser, I was most popular starter tbh. And octopus tastes kinda the same as squid anyway.

[@CrisSelene]

About Susanne not appearing in Karl's diary, what you hear on the show are curated parts especially chosen to be read for their entertainment value. Also, I think Susanne likes her privacy (even if she is a public person in her own right, she's not a celebrity). The animated version of her never shows her face, while Ricky's partner does.

[@Tass...]

Octopus is eaten all over Europe. especially Mediterranean countries. But yeah it's sold in restaurants here in the UK too.

[@thatsthat2612]

Defo eat octopus here, we went to Greece once and thought "yep..that's alright"

[@andrew348]

I hate how they dismiss Karl and shake their heads like he's an idiot but many times it just shows their ignorance. Lookup literally the most basic human psychology on eyes, even cartoon eyes, and Karl is spot on. I guess ignorance can make some people feel smart while thinking smart people are dumb.

[@vaudevillian7]

They’re definitely not as smart as they think they are, they show themselves up at times. It’s a minor thing but Ricky misusing ‘iconoclastic’ always stands out.

[@percyplays8842]

I don’t think you understand how the show works.

[@colonyofrats4193]

@@percyplays8842 I think the comment is referring to the reactors not Ricky and Stephen

[@jerryhayes9497]

Gullible, that's a good description of Karl

[@lufcharrison2234]

10:37 hahahaha 😂😂

[@tonytutone2003]

Callanarri is Squid not Octopus. And they do eat it in the uk!!

[@Chrono_Punk]

Yeah cause squid is much more appetising 🤨

[@benjammin9471]

Human sized elephants exist

[@JoeSurkitt]

First place I ever tried octopus was in USA 😕

[@annother3350]

My favourite curse word is Nincompoop. The spanish equivalent is good too -- un Bobalicon

[@mattitbens]

We also eat aardvark, the skin is like a beef jerky once it's cured. Interestingly some people also use their bones in broth but using the spine is considered bad luck

[@thatsthat2612]

Who eats aardvark?

[@mattitbens]

@@thatsthat2612 us british

[@ItsMeYourRealDad]

@@mattitbens not that I know of where the hell did you eat aardvark in the uk. At the aardvark and chips shop?

[@GaryGernon]

😂😂

[@mattitbens]

@@ItsMeYourRealDad yeah. That way you can also get some mushy ants on the side. I dont know why people think British food is so bad

[@stevenguevara2184]

People eat octopus all the time in “siete mares” or 7 seas in English

[@wildwine6400]

The specific octopus he is talking about is the blue ringed octopus

[@Wagoo]

Just one of the reasons I won't be visiting Australia

[@kylewilliamholdsworth3737]

We eat octopus in ne US

[@TacGKilgore]

had a filipino friend give me my first serving of octopus. it was great..

[@Farrow1990]

British do eat Octopus its not common but we do eat it. Other European countries mainly those on the Mediterranean have alot of octopus in their cuisines

[@gedhoughton9523]

Spencer, Daniel, loving the content and your reaction to our lovable idiot, Karl Pilkington. Second, the point where Karl is speaking about giant animals, look at New Zealand for giant animals. There’s a big parrot called a Kakapo that can’t fly, and the giant Weta. A huge cricket!

[@igguilloda4383]

I've had octopus right here in Baltimore MD, not far from youse guys.

[@patrickquinlan67]

The distance between a moth's eyes (they do have eyes) is the same. An octopus and a ladybird are also the same distance.

[@ItsMeYourRealDad]

I'd rather be a blind moth

[@blurkid33]

Same as what?

[@MrDownRater]

Borneo Pygmy Elephants are about human size animals. ;)

[@watchreadplayretro]

the alien bit.... reminds me, have you guys seen Paul (a Simon Pegg movie) before

[@xrovyn]

Guys octopus tastes amazing

[@vaudevillian7]

Octopus is amazing

[@joannedwyer4755]

Love Ricky, Karl and Stephen merchant. Have yu watched Ricky in the office uk?. I no its old but its still watchable as he's the cringy boss. We've all had cringy bosses so he's relatable in that respect.

[@stoneoutdooradventures2286]

I wouldn't eat octopus or squid..I use squid for bait and it stinks but the dogfish tope and bass love it .. Karl is a enigma for sure 🤣

[@Wagoo]

squid and octopus is delicious

[@ltbot78]

[@stuartcook8823]

Octupus is outstanding eating.

That hold on a minute what is this cracks me up🤣🤣

There are no vegetarians in the ocean everything eats each other

[@stuarthenderson7327]

If you think about Karl saying found within the same difference he's 100%right lol any 2 things are within the same distance genius lol

[@ianoo23]

Daniel- at the end where you put the peak of your cap back and we’re doing the summary…if you watch this back: with your finger just block the peak of your cap from the right hand side of the screen:- makes you look like you got a mad hairdo 🤣🤣🤣

[@Sdw77]

Definitely have octopus here, sure my dad cooked it when we were young😂loved it fellas😂😂👍🏽🫶🏽and we have only explored 10% of the worlds oceans😱

what was the name of the skits where karl dubbed himself over movies like the shining, mrs Robinson and pulp fiction?

[@JacobG093]

You play iRacing?? That looks like an iRacing shirt

[@aallan646]

And one guy has a hat 😆

[@andrew348]

Saying "she never pops up" in Karl's Diary is kind of silly. These podcasts are cherry picked from 100s of hours of audio. The most interesting conversations are going to be used. Not to mention, even these conversations aren't all in there original form. If you listen to the XFM audio you'd realize that most of them actually go on a lot longer.

[@DDoig1]

Why are you hating on the episode titles so much? lol.

[@BunniMonster]

Octopus done right is fantastic, much better than squid. Done badly, it's a waste of time and jaw muscles just chewing the stuff.

[@service2204]

He's our Forrest Gump 😂🇬🇧

Bill Bailey musical comedy, Tim Vine speedy one liners, Nina Conti (comedy ventriloquist), Michael Macintyre Big Show plus his specials. All family friendly. Matt Berry Toast of London (IT Crowd Boss). Allo, Allo the most popular allround comedy series all over Europe for 1 decade. Spoof German occupation of France.

[@stoneoutdooradventures2286]

Poem for Karl.. If Karl understood the understanding, his head would no longer need sanding.. everyday he fantasises about insect's and bugs, never hearing Susan even with those big lug's..he makes Stephen and Ricky laugh with disbelief, with the things he chatters with wonky teeth..if I could think like Karl I'd end it now, cos cmon mate there's no such thing as a pink cow...🤣🤣🤣

[@OldDevlin]

Great video, but Spence is venturing back to the fake laughing lately. Please don't, bud. I get why you do it, but a real smile is better than a false laugh

[@ItsMeYourRealDad]

He always fake laughs, laughs at the wrong bits or laughs after Daniel does. I'm not sure if he 100% understands the format of the show or understands british humour.

[@OldDevlin]

@@ItsMeYourRealDad He's been much better for quite a while. He used to constantly fake laugh, then pretend he needed time to catch his breath. It really ruined their videos, because the whole point of them is seeing people react...not pretend to react He has been much better, and he seems like a nice guy so we should cut him some slack. It's just lately he's started slipping back into those old habits and it makes the videos far less enjoyable.

[@annother3350]

@@OldDevlin Yes cut him some slack - he's probably paranoid about being analysed so intensely
