Karl Pilkington - Half Man Half Biscuit

Karl hasn't heard of the band, obviously.
"Mr. Garibaldi!"

[@paullyknowles]

There’s a man with a mullet going mad with a mallet in Millets.

[@wrotebydogs]

Gervais should listen to Half Man Half Biscuit in order to discover what brilliant, biting social satire sounds like. When he can come up with something a quarter as funny as 'Help me Mrs Medlicott, I don't know what to do. I've only got three bullets and there's four of Motley Crue, - well, he won't be able to, will he?

[@metalli07]

John peel possibly beat that repeating the line from some band I forget but could look up but can't be bothered; "send my giro to Cairo"

[@DjallelDerbal]

"...Never goes swimming" hahahahahahahahahahahaahaha ! Karl is so funny !

[@metalli07]

The funniest

[@Jaoric]

Quite possibly the best band in the world - Nigel Blackwell is a true genius

[@yatesy117]

"There's a man with a mullet going mad with a mallet in Millets" lyrical genius 😄😄😄

[@moyajc]

"never goes swimming", one of those golden moments that put Karl above Gervais as a comedian. Gervais didn't even get it which I think says it all. Mind you if he had have done he'd have probably had stroke...

[@DragonsRule02]

Ricky's laugh is the best thing ever

[@fugazigil2811]

Gervais was laughing at Karl's confusion, rather than the actual band

[@SmoothCriimiinal]

Never goes swimming - Probably the best comment I have ever ever heard...

[@yatesy117]

Mr Garibaldi!!!

[@youxknowxyouxluvxit]

"Never goes swimming." LMFAOO

[@M1K3YC]

Mr. Garabaldi

[@muttymeme]

Biscuit are best Post punk new wave dada, and even the band don't know it.

[@tigerboy1966]

Talent vs Genius. Ricky Gervaise's entire career vs the first two songs on "Cammell Laird Social Club". No contest. Game over.

[@carbonarapadrino]

Bullseye!

[@DavidTizzard]

I'm just here clicking like on every comment that says, "Mr. Garibaldi" lmao

[@youxknowxyouxluvxit]

"never goes swimming" hahahah best bit

[@gosiman]

Just brilliant!

[@olimcfc]

He has nothing but total respect for Annie Lennox

[@therealchriswheelie]

DamoSuzuki100, you are someone after my own heart. Thank you =:0)

[@Itoldyousoproduction]

Mr. Garibaldi 1:25 XD

[@wrotebydogs]

@cfcolly The Office was great. His stand up is lazy and dull. Really, listen to Half Man Half Biscuit. It's funnier by far than anything Gervais has ever come up with. How about 'I'm off to see the Bootleg Beatles. As the bootleg Mark Chapman'. Quality, mate.

[@GriefTourist]

if you are over 35 and have never heard of HMHB you must qualify as some sort of knob

[@thenewyorkpauls]

GriefTourist Or someone from outside the UK.

[@yatesy117]

Except Karl!

[@michaelyip8510]

Is it me or could you kick Ricky Gervais’ head in?

[@edwardv1255]

I've never heard if them, granted I'm 30 and not from the UK. I've heard this clip tens of times and never knew it was a proper band (I always imagined some 17-18yo scousers in a basement (them now working in offices, much in the same fashion as Paul TPA Parker) sending a hopeful email to XFM). So this comment section is a big surprise to me.

[@queenbeekeeper]

Well, I've heard of them (and love them!) and I am 12,000 miles away in NZ.

[@vladamirrrr]

i lol'd just by reading the title :)

[@sonicbooomboy]

Merchant/Gervais HMHB are not a joke or novelty band.

[@wallerpaul70]

Biscuit boys are brilliant and funny.

[@thenewyorkpauls]

Their fame is restricted within the UK so you can forgive the mistake. When asked who Blur are most Americans would respond “that woohoo band from the football scores?”

[@jackharkins1689]

Satisfying the bloodlust of the people in peace time.

[@blahblahwhatblahblah]

Last time I checked, Merchant and Gervais weren't American, so they have no excuse!

[@JakeWilliams283]

He’s not laughing at the band name he’s laughing at Karl’s excitement and stupidness thinking there was a real half man half biscuit

[@N3V3RSAYD13]

i had a laugh just at the picture

[@ElvisLivesUpstairs]

Currents for eyes lol

[@EJS-7]

i think about this a lot

[@DANNYsosick]

Art Brut; TOP OF THE POPS!!!

[@HoneyMike]

I love his face at the start of the video

[@alex-E7WHU]

OOOHH-OOOHH PICALILLI SHINPADS.. 🤣

[@cfcolly]

@wrotebydogs Ricky's one of the best stand up comics we've got. Most other English standup's have a lot of respect for his writing. Plus extras was brilliant and the christmas special was one of the best pieces of comedy that year. theres to much shit on TV now days

[@invisibleoc]

"Most other English standup's (sic) have a lot of respect for his writing" - citation needed.

[@AnsemsApprentice]

@Pwecko How many comedians have you come across?

[@caspar_gomez]

mr garibaldi > never goes swimming

[@Pinskip2]

@AdamskiFTW I was referring to Gervais revealing himself to be an oblivious, bullying twat in general.

[@KVille]

Everyone's doing the 'Ricky Gervias' stance maybe or Fucking hell it's Karl Pilkington

[@Rebeljustforkicks]

Ha ha Len Ganley n Fred Titmuss ..Kudos for that comment

[@Pinskip2]

@floboskifilms Whichever minorities he can cram into 'awkward' situations.

[@awkwardsean5141]

ELEVATE!

[@Pwecko]

@TheMaTaTa212 I don't remember taking the exam!

[@AimeeLuLines]

@Pwecko and @Furkin... listen you're both complete legends with your wiity arguement. Cheered me up :] Agree to both be angry intelligent people and move on, you fucking beautys!

[@1234514]

As opposed to Total Biscuit?

[@gomaustin]

Randy biscuit turners gone into overdrive...

[@yavehsuarez9392]

They cloned a man with a biscuit 🤣🤣🤣

[@betaville72]

'Haff Man Haff Biscuit?'

[@SmoothCriimiinal]

never goes swimming

[@Sleck06]

@Pinskip2 thought i was the only one who caught that

[@ElmuO9]

@AhzidDiin Yeah that really sucks...He will be missed

[@pinkrabbithappiness]

I think it must have been something to do with copyright, BlackdollarBills and someone else have taken theirs down too

[@internetmale]

3 professional comedians who've never heard of half man half biscuit. hurry the fuck up Impending Heat Death Of The Universe

[@mc4566]

@ScumOfTheRoad It's you. I've only ever heard Karl laugh once.

[@Johnwightyful]

Quite.

[@joecul123]

Why does he say ... I never go swimming at the end lmao?

[@rockandroll4567]

look up the ricky gervais show. funniest thing ever. it has karl pilkington.

[@oliverconroy6894]

Manmoths?

[@TheMetalCat]

never go swimmin

[@oPhillo]

never gonna go swimming.. rofl

[@Pinskip2]

@quaid667 Karl looks like Gaddafi's son.

[@Renzsu]

Hah, mr. Gullibaldy

[@liamdhardy]

*Mr Garibaldi, as in the biscuits.

[@vdbn78]

Great how they pretend Karl's stupid! When he's a Sony Award winning radio producer!!!11

[@cfcolly]

@PS3Vids10 Actually, Karl hates all that stuff, he's told Ricky and Steve he never wants to do another series of idiot because he hates the stuff they make him do, also, he hasn't personally made that much, certainly not a fortune, apparently ricky has some kind of hold over it so karl doesn't get really rich and ruin his amazing outlook on life with is such a money spinner

[@joiedeceivre]

NOT A NOVELTY BAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@BillyLow1000]

Who is Carl Pilkington ? Never heard of the fella ?

[@Pinskip2]

That'll bring the perverts out into the open. (Yes, he does a bit.)

[@SADRecs]

@ScumOfTheRoad Karl never laughs! and about 90% of the time he isn't joking. Ricky is the one thats laughing.

[@alliasneo]

I don't get the 'never go swimming' line? Is it because Ricky said about currents for eyes but Karl thought current as in water current? lol

[@deankeith830]

alliasneo because he's a biscuit!

[@Brascofarian]

20 years after it was first made, Ricky Gervais splits his sides upon hearing.

[@kvncnrd]

@TheMetalCat ....he could never go swimmin...

[@quaid667]

Nigel Blackwell and Karl Pilkington do look a bit similar

[@5ynthesizerpatel]

is it just me or does Karl Pilkington look a lot like Pierre Woodman to you?

[@KrytenMark]

Oh, I see! Silly me. I assumed he was cleverly combining 'gullible' with 'baldy'. ^^;

[@cfcolly]

@scallyhunter troll...

[@jimmyrimmer82]

@Pwecko Agreed. Marchant is the funny one. Gervais' humour is just nasty.

[@KrytenMark]

"Mr. Gullibaldy!" XD

[@Pwecko]

@TheMaTaTa212 Just trying to be helpful, mate. If you'd like some English lessons, let me know, OK?

[@Barracuda007]

XD

[@therealchriswheelie]

Blimey. Where did that come from? Have I offended your delicate sensibilities by mocking the man with whom you are in love?

[@Pwecko]

@CRAZYPADDY2008 Can I do any better? Yes, I can do that, but I don't really want to. (Half Man Half Biscuit fans will know what I'm talking about). No one cares about your opinion either, Paddy, but at least they can understand what I'm writing. Have a nice day.

[@SAMagic]

@Astralentity73 You have got serious issues.

[@SticFig]

lol youtube comment fights.

[@cfcolly]

@wrotebydogs if you think Ricky isn't sunny you obviously have no understanding of comedy or a very strange sense of humour

[@ratfaceable]

he looks like lars ulrich fact

[@andrewthompson9714]

And he is a better drummer!

[@FSMnoodle]

Joke novelty band? HMHB more than that surely?

[@lnc0]

It's clichéd to be cynical about a famous comedian

[@Pwecko]

@TheMaTaTa212 Oh dear, you've done it again.. That should be 'you're Australian', not 'your australian'. What makes you think I'm Australian? No, I'm English. I used to teach English as a foreign language, so I wouldn't have any problem teaching you. Actually, I'm withdrawing my offer. You have the wrong attitude. Good luck with everything you do.

[@ianmc42]

Joke, Novelty band? Obviously they've never listened to HMHB. Or, are to thick to appreciate the sardonic whit. Or they're jealous 'cos they're not as funny.

[@Rodan100]

Fantastic fail.

[@therealchriswheelie]

I'd rather actually literally 'look up' Ricky Gervais for a laugh.

[@thenewyorkpauls]

therealchriswheelie A cursory glance at your youtube profile exposes you as quite the lonely kid indeed.

[@Pinskip2]

@dougandmanny Again, I'm not referring to how Ricky treats Karl. He rips into minorities and hides behind irony. He's an oblivious twat who's so far removed from real life he doesn't realise how his lazy shit affects people. It took the mother of disabled children to burst out crying on national radio for him to shit himself and apologise. If he could justify his weak shit he wouldn't need to apologise.

[@Pinskip2]

@PS3Vids10 I don't really care, to be honest. Karl is already rich. I'd rather Ricky Gervais stopped using minorities as punchlines. Apart from anything else, it's lazy.

[@MRROBBIEWATTS]

Gervias.... so unfunny

[@dinkdankdoo3035]

Your spelling, very funny.

[@Pwecko]

Ricky Gervais is the least funny comedian I've ever come across.
