FIRST TIME Reacting to AN IDIOT ABROAD 🌍 | Series 1 Ep: 1

[@TobiasCruelty]

Karl thought the show was going to be called "Karl Pilkington's Seven Wonders"

[@andrewmay1299]

I mean, he claimed he did, in yet another highly-scripted scene.

[@SebHighDef]

@@andrewmay1299 not "claimed", not "scripted"

[@dennisbenjamin1165]

I hate how Ricky tries to take all the credit for the idea of this show. He really is just a less masculine Ellen DeGeneres.

[@danrice2797]

Ah Id-Iyat Ah boarrr

[@skzcnt]

@@dennisbenjamin1165 Tbf without Ricky there'd be no Karl so then there'd be no An Idiot Abroad. Though Steve does tend to be overlooked in all the projects they did together!

[@dennisbenjamin1165]

Fortune telling is all about fishing for information (confessions) until you hook a lunker worth blackmailing.

[@willx8837]

Karl does love his "Monster Munch" Crisps. Perhaps the next time you are in in the supermarket you could consider burying them. LOL

[@anitahargreaves9526]

Roast beef and pickled onion the best, imo.

[@necessaryevil3428]

A Brit (Kane Kramer) invented the 'ipod' waaaay before Jobs!! (1981) ... alas he let the patent slip 🇬🇧

[@LoyalandTrue.]

Not even supposedly-loyal Canadians are averse to seppo defaultism.

[@GUITARTIME2024]

No, he invented a precursor.

[@JoeThornhill]

Ricky: "I want him to hate it." Megan: "I agree."

[@deanknows2024]

Great reaction Megan and so funny. Karl did not want to go on this journey, but was offered such a big pay check that he could not refuse.

[@scipioafricanus5871]

It's not like the job offers came _Whizzing_ in.

[@sevenduster27]

Been waiting for this one from you!! Bahahahaha thank you!!😂

[@imaginaryopposition]

thanks for sharing, was more fun than expected... i skipped this series for so long, glad i saw it now thanks to you! 😊

[@MeganRuth]

You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@ASU885]

There is a strange beauty about this show, no question about it. I devoured it when it was first out on Netflix years ago.

[@worthalook4870]

Yessssssssssss let’s goooooooooo

[@jermaineedwards8384]

“Get the brick” 😅

[@ruddyy123]

46:17 I love how you laugh and express yourself right as you’re about to lose it with laughter 😂

[@RockyBobbieBuster]

Cool, Megan your subscriptions should rocket after reacting to the one, the only, the best accidental comedy ever made, starring the funniest accidental comedian ever, if you're doing all A.I.A. i cant wait to see your reaction to series 3 when hes joined by the dwarf Warrick Davis 👌

[@markcutting6504]

Midget not a dwarf🤗

[@3DJapan]

11:45 When I was in Japan in 2017 my friend was vegan and she really had a had time finding things to eat in Osaka. In Tokyo it was a little easier. There's a small chain of vegan restaurants called Ein Soph that was good. I hear it's better these days though.

[@jameshumphreys9715]

Karl does an interview with Dermont o'leary on radio 2 and he enjoyed going to different countries.

[@markdavidson9100]

Happy memories of when my nephew used to come for a sleep over, watched when he was only five. His parents bought it for him for a fourth birthday 🎁 incredible reaction thank you

[@MeganRuth]

those sound like very happy memories indeed! Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@RockyBobbieBuster]

It shows what a good guy karl actually is, the worst things he can confess to, is opening someone's letters, stealing some mars bars and putting putty in a school friends hair, good and lovable guy, (b4 any trolls start, no im not gay) 😂

[@scipioafricanus5871]

Open someone else's mail (without reasonable excuse) may be a criminal offense in Great Britain.

[@RockyBobbieBuster]

@scipioafricanus5871 so is murder, burglary, rape etc BUT opening someone's letters is nothing in comparison is it?

[@3DJapan]

Stephen Merchant had a ridiculously huge role in the game Portal 2.

[@3DJapan]

9:25 He keeps trying to get them to say the L but it wouldn't matter because they have to way to write an L sound. I don't know Chinese but in Japanese my name, Phil, would be Firu.

[@mpg272727]

Fun fact; Stephen Merchant is 6ft 7

[@bazwelshpatriot1669]

Steve Merchant also played Caliban in the film Logan.

[@sickturret3587]

14:00 those things already have eyes, feet and beaks. i'd rather it grow up enough and reproduce (in a natural environment not in cages), then killed and served. i know each have their opinions, but as an omnivore i take care not to buy from industrial animal husbandry, especially not babies. the animals we've selectively bred are unable to survive by their own. so we take care of them until they are adults, have kids and live a much safer life, (also feed them too). then they feed us. it's been like this for the past 10 millenia. ps: i only buy from farms that i trust they treat the animals good and with respect until the end. i respect vegans too, but my digestive system is not ok with vegetables, grains and fruits only.

[@anitahargreaves9526]

Funny my diet was mainly meat free, wasn't aware of it, my skin was terrible, acne. Had steak, skin cleared up and then tried vegetarian diet again, acne back? Doesn't suit me either! 🇬🇧👵☕

[@sickturret3587]

@@anitahargreaves9526 ​ @anitahargreaves9526 we are omnivores in general. a small portion of us can take a vegetarian diet for decades, a smaller part can live with a vegan diet too (by taking certain supplements of course) but we need meat in our lives. eggs and dairy are fine too but they don't suit some people aswell. it's good that you've noticed how your body reacts to certain food and you've acted accordingly. i hope everyone should be able to do that. cheers.

[@EmulsionTime]

I do see some logic in the fortune mumbo jumbo. If there are things that he is worried enough about to carry them throughout his life with him to this point, then that could have a detrimental effect on health. Writing things down to unburden yourself is also an often used psychological tool, so the idea that he must "write down these bad things", followed by doing something difficult to get rid of them (go into the mountains, go to the sea) seems like it might help your mind think you've paid penance for these things and can now let them go? I'm not into any of that, but I can see how that might help some people.

[@SnowTricky]

He's thinking of Japan when he's talking about inventions

[@Peter-f2m]

When you go hiking to the top of a mountain… do you feel beauty and peace? Do feel healed just a little bit? How about the ocean? Does it speak to you at all ? … and staring into a fire? There’s reasons those are the healing quests…

[@estoy1001]

Do NOT screw with Scorpion-Eating Women. Karl's just like most folks- he just tends to externalize what most of us internalize.

[@jamesstone7974]

Steve Job's didn't invent the ipod. The engineers at Apple did. Look up Bill Burr's bit on that!

[@rooroo9216]

27:36 So does Route 66, let’s not go giving Ricky any ideas >;D

[@karl-70]

To be fair when you say Karl with your Canadian accent it does sort of sound like "Karol" to my English ears. Karrrl. lol

[@FalcomScott312]

Bloody Ricky Gervais has the most hilarious 😂 laugh in the world 🌎 here! Cheers 🍻 for sharing this, Megan & Happy Wednesday to you! ❤️

[@Tanatie]

14:50 is the correct way up if anyone cares 😂

[@neilwilliams4684]

Thank you 🙂

[@Pterodactylus548]

Guinea Pigs and bunnies are very fast breeding, unlike chicken (when you fill them with steroids, sure.) You can grow them in home. I've born and lived in a farm. So sometimes I ate what I made pass away...

[@victordevonshire807]

The thing is he's not smiling himself. 😅😊😊

[@seanmc1351]

actually is was a british guy that invented, the first type of ipod, the ones you know and we all know as you said, apple copied the original, i could br wrong, i dont think the british guy had a patent for it

[@anitahargreaves9526]

I'm looking forward to watching your reactions and your journey with Karl.

[@aaronmicalowe]

I feel bad for that Chinese couple at the beginning. They made more effort than we do. They were speaking in English and we complain about the pronunciation, but we don't even try to speak Chinese. It comes across as very ignorant. We are such hypocrites.

[@andrewspraggon3331]

Thing us Karl is autistic so when he says stupid shit or does something that makes hus best friend ricki laugh then Karl is happy. What he says and does is deliberate

[@jermaineedwards8384]

He ain’t gonna confess to something more serious is he why would he lol

[@davidhall7811]

I used to live in China, its very easy to be a vegan there 🙂

[@Uvray]

When it comes to all that mysticism you shouldn't be so skeptical, Megan. There are aspects to this universe we do not understand.

[@3DJapan]

I've been to the Beijing airport. I guess that counts as going to China.

[@jermaineedwards8384]

So Funny he calls people in there own country foreigners lol

[@Brewnoe]

when the going gets weird ... the weird turn pro

[@marty6945]

Eating the fetus may be more humane, but it's disgusting anyway. Btw: In 2016, China became the country with the highest science output, as measured in publications. While the US had been the biggest producer of scientific studies until then, China published 426,000 studies in 2016 while the US published 409,000. However, the numbers are somewhat relative, as it also depends how authorship on international collaborations is counted (e.g. if one paper is counted per person or whether authorship is split among authors).[In 2022, China passed both the US and the European Union in the number of high-impact papers published. As of 2024, the Nature Index ranks seven Chinese universities or institutions in the global top ten for volume of research output. The Leiden Ranking rates six in the global top ten.

It's amazing how Karl completes applications for entry visas for these places, then somehow he's surprised to be "randomly" sent there.

[@dupersuper1938]

I mean, he knows he's going to the country...he just doesn't know what to expect there.

[@andrew348]

How do you know they don't have him fill out applications for multiple countries that he never goes to or even just have someone else fill them out and give him a bundle of papers and say sign here, here, and here. It's not that unbelievable.

I'm from Holland, so I would have a problem trying to eat everything fried. I want it all !!!!!

[@ivowalvis9228]

You can actually use the fat from the insides (fat) of big cockroaches to oil your pan to coock the other bugs in. I am no Asian, but I like the cuisine for sure.

[@scipioafricanus5871]

The Chinese would use g u t t e r oil.

[@ivowalvis9228]

I like fried bugs, I"ll make my own garlic and pepper sauce. There will be no more scorpions and locusts in your lands any more, I love them.
