Karl Pilkington on Richard Bacon Part 1

[@michaelmulqueen9162]

Ok so lets get this straight! Karl is honest and real...and he has a very simplified view of life. But I have been listening to karls stuff for years and he is a very savie and I think intelligent in a real way. He is a radio producer and editor for a start an involved and diverse job which I gather he has won awards for. Also he promotes himself and his projects and understands what the public want. So I think even though wee might like to see him as a simple guy..he is real much more than that.

[@micnamalahan]

best comment ever mate !

[@Tc0590]

Michael Mulqueen I don't think it's Karl that knows what the public want it's Ricky and Steve

[@Talisman09]

he's more intelligent than you, mate. I know you don't think he is, so it gives me great pleasure to inform you of that

[@bkbj8282]

lol you can't even spell "savvy"

[@saintbarnabasshackles2437]

Won a silver at the Sonys if I remember correctly. Mentioned in the xfm shows

[@Robmgwan]

I reckon Karl is a quiet genius

[@UGSETH2]

His brain certainly is, it's just his mouth fucking him up

[@Ray_D_Tutto]

I hate how condescending people are to Karl. They automatically assume they're above him.

[@formallynamed85]

Most are far far from above him in life

[@Vingul]

Didn't think this Bacon fella was bad in that regard.

[@itsMrNoble]

You automatically assume you’re above him, mate, if anyone does…

[@jeffshaw526]

Sacha Baren Cohen has made a career doing this.

[@CHRISTSPIRACY.comJESUSwasVegan]

especially ricky

[@bobjimjones]

karl has been a legend since 2001. real fans know that

[@Wankle.]

How you doing

[@CHRISTSPIRACY.comJESUSwasVegan]

hes REAL

[@varun009]

He's so genuine. Even in this video he came out with some bogus "fact" which he probably just misunderstood to begin with, and he doesn't mind calling other countries shit. Everyone should aspire to be so unpretentious. He's also right about his stay being shit terrible. If they only got him to moan about the wonders themselves, the series would only have 2 episodes.

[@tfn105]

You get so much more watching Karl talking than simply listening to Karl talking. He seems so much more animated and engaging here. It's also one of the few times that he's on radio/tv without Ricky or Steve about

[@DigitalSid]

Richard KNOWS it's not an act, he used to work at XFM with him, he's simply playing devil's advocate to give him a chance to answer the skeptics directly.

[@gregjones8412]

Karl's a very perceptive bloke. His comment about knowledge getting in the way is spot on. He's way over the head of the Bacon idiot.

[@LouieC]

Has anyone activated the captions? OMFG it's brilliant

[@DadManDoes]

haha. that does make it a million times funnier

[@nialljamesbuckley]

haha - wow, good call!

[@tomfry2853]

Louie Cafarella thank you

[@LouieC]

Welcome 😜

[@thebindingofboswald2132]

+Louie Cafarella " As a blonde bought he said Joe goes there "

[@madbadJim]

Karl is smarter than us all... he's done pretty well for someone who is supposed to be a dumb manc. Playing to your strengths is a sign of real self knowledge and skill...

[@nothingbettertodotbh4083]

Thanks for uploading this - haven't seen this before

[@vincentpaulmcghee4918]

Love the London/New York comparison. So true😂👏

[@awinbisa]

Karl is the antithesis of a little Englander. He is very amicable, accepting of other cultures, tries to understand. He has no superiority complex like most little Englanders.

[@mini_mozzer]

have you even listened to the radio show? he shits all over other cultures all the time. "little asian fella"

[@christopherpenny6083]

Not really

[@deanoeldo]

He's so down to earth!

[@AndysEdits]

lmfao omg i love this man so much, the way he pronounces "its not a highlight of my life, someone shouting out "is that the idiot""

[@JakeWilliams283]

"weve come miles, wh wh whats this?!"

[@jackinabox12]

Ricky Gervais: "Do you think you bully Karl?" Yes. He's my best mate with his own show and a 5 bedroom house London. Who else wants to be bullied?

[@bumblebeefightergirl]

Karl is too cute for words. An Idiot Abroad really is the greatest practical joke ever pulled.

[@mickleem]

He’s the best natural comedian around. I could watch him all day.

[@kevrockism]

I do 😂😂😂

[@fatmanskills3771]

'This is brilliant! He's having a breakdown.' 😂

[@truckcompany]

I kinda feel sorry for Karl that he almost had a break down. I wish him all the best. He makes me laugh sooooo much :)

[@mortonquirk]

a fire that didn't happen, a wife that didn't exist and a cat that didn't look happy

[@chrisbutler6597]

Oh so the blokes were ghosts

[@MeaningSeekerPod]

Excellent. More Karl on screens please. 👏🍊

[@capo2k8]

Imagine if Karl were Prime Minister...oh it'd be amazing! Everyone would actually start paying attention to politics...imagine PM's Question Time - it'd be the best thing ever. Seriously.

[@gjo1832]

this was covered in the podcasts. and it really wouldn't

[@reynoldricardo]

yep, nothing but pamphlets and warning signs lol

[@JohnnyLCob]

@@gjo1832 How?

[@chriswilletts3621]

2:45 Back on the chang again lol

[@Geordie_Boy01]

Karl is actually smart he just words his sentences wrong

[@lordbottaro4549]

Karl was Richard’s boss at XFM in the late 90’s.

[@123reletive123]

i really wish karl reaised how much WE ALL LOVE HIM because we really do and his the most amazing person on this this planet

[@BKMarcelus88]

karl's head bop to the outro music, lol

[@solohoops07]

this interview is so refreshing because Richard Bacon treats him like a regular bloke, he doesn't get treated like an idiot. Ricky and Steve are always takin the piss, It's nice to see him just have a regular conversation where he doesn't have to be ridiculed ya kno

[@vividdylan400]

"I can't call Ricky because he will be 'this is brilliant. Kar's having a breakdown." So funny.

[@kryptman40k]

I love how he staarts bobbing his head when the music comes out at 8:40.

[@zebz313]

it's weird not hearing Ricky's laugh every 5 mins haha

[@bodrinker]

Is Bacon still on the Charlie ???

[@davidwestmoreland3024]

definately got to meet karl pilkington steve and rick, i love them all , there so funny

[@bobbymcq1]

Karl is awesome he is the best thing to happen to the other two!

[@wills101]

great interview, soo chilled.

[@lundgrp]

I don't now what Karl is worth but he is worth every penny, unlike some Premier League footballers

[@Asidders]

I absolutely agree. Letting Karl talk, not interrupting him, no shouting, just smoooooth. Very likable host.

[@ObiWanShinobi85]

The drugs he took were likeable

[@mohomadali]

Im sooo glad i got the traffic report for london....saved me some time in america! ^_^

[@Areashiftybun]

Best. Video. Description. Ever.

[@solohoops07]

@LJBanc he's a good dancer, he used to do body popping and breakdancing when he was younger

[@hydratheskygod6344]

I bet he's enjoying the break from Ricky constantly laughing at everything he says. looks like he's actually happy getting to talk without Ricky or Steve there

[@DoubleDowner]

Sad they're all completely separate now - I don't think Karl and Ricky talk at all anymore after he left Derek.

[@melissaflynn4]

love him so much :P

[@lukesmith2662]

A 5 bedroom house in london, you're looking at a minimum of a 800k house. Its prob more likely a 1 or 2mil house. When ricky met him in XFM he had a 2 bedroom flat and he had a dodgy washing machine and boiler. Pilkington would never have made it without Ricky. He got shoved into peoples faces for them to see how incredible Karl is. Yes, Karl stands his own because he is amazing and probably the funniest man on the planet. But he does owe it all to karl. Its just mates having fun, not bullying.

[@joepoo1000]

karl body pops like a boss during the travel news..

[@genericfacelessuser]

Karl's quoted for saying, "I'm a grown man. 'You think I go home & cry to me mum, 'Ooh, Ricky & Steve won't stop picking on me.' No. I'm not a child, you know."

[@TheDiegoinhoops]

graham is such a good actor

[@215obnoxus]

***** lol bollocks

[@Thisworldthisweek]

How he keeps in character is amazing. He’s doing theater work now.

[@CHEESYhairyGASH]

8:30 Karl enjoying the traffic news jingle.

[@wokoutwarrior]

I love that his calling the head of production at Sky for that show and his telling him it is going to be ok and to take one day at a time haha.

[@ValValiantThor216]

Its easy for him While he's sat in an office with a Frappuccino 😆

[@hedgehogzilla]

whoever shouted that was very rude. even if ricky and steve do make jokes about him, he's still a human >:( karl your frickin amazing

[@genericfacelessuser]

I believe it's the cause, because if you listen to Karl talk about his father he says if you don't get on with Karl, you won't get on with his pop because he's "just an older version" of Karl. Personalities are EXACTLY the same apparently.

[@lloydduggan92]

Bye..bye..bye on ferry! Buy...buy ferry...I like buy on ferry!

[@FIMOE123]

the only video on youtube with 0 thumbs down

[@fizz113]

I guess you're right, but I can't help but think that constantly calling him an idiot isn't doing him any favours.

[@tomcorbett9803]

1. He's a full grown adult. 2. makes me* cry.

[@Entoloma1]

5:46 we've come miles lmfaoooooooo

[@TheLastRolo]

"what's this... we've come miles, WHAT'S THIS!?"

[@slytown]

Rick, Steve, and Karl need to do a live, sort of three-man-show, tour. Ricky is a great stand-up ( and Steve I understand is doing a stand-up tour sonn) but those three live would be fried gold.

[@rossvegas7]

frank sidebottom!! wot a fuckin legend!!!! pissed my sides!!

[@wnfcjkenvfj]

@honestom23 you live in sudbury?? where bouts?

[@PedroPascoaPedro]

remember when this was was youtube peak quality?

[@cillamoke]

i think hes a honey!! genuine and honest!! i love him!!

[@Doganmaster22]

perfectly round.

[@camel747]

Karl may be many things, but 'idiot' is certainly not among them.

[@seantownley7442]

Watch Derek he plays the part of a care taker

[@beachie37]

@moewishaw its new episodes of the show called an idiot abroad and its more or less the same idea, sending karl to locations/ to do things other people would enjoy but throwing in some unexpected things

[@fizz113]

True, but money doesn't always equal happiness

[@rockstarrist]

@XiaoPow you're right..but looking at it logically... he is definitely specialized in deadbeat comedy and is "playing along" by which it means he is actually a character they wanna make money out of... n it's not a scripted character.

[@CaptainLilyJane]

awwwwwwh! :c "Is that the idiot!" Poor Karl!

[@aajr95]

an idiot abroad 2 is karl and warwick davis going on adventures! this is going to be fucking amazing!!!

[@reluctable]

I love the episode in India, that bit where he gets taken into a courtyard and everyone starts flinging coloured powders into the air (and on Karl) and dancing with him is a genuinely beautiful moment, not least because Karl cracks a bloody smile for once :)

[@jtathaizzosh]

@grape362 The continents drift on top of the mantle of the earth, and over the years the relative position of everywhere changes all the time. I don't know if what he said is accurate, but things do move over the earth over time.

[@theshortestpath]

@erica3590 Care to post a link to that interview?

[@lucrativeelfmongrel]

Hahaha I love Richard Bacon's show

[@vincentpaulmcghee4918]

Totally agree why anyone would want to go to New York when its no different to another big English speaking city...just extra hassle

[@petemartin1891]

Bacon on the beak

[@markaswell]

haha.. I love karl so much, what's he doing next? better be something in the works!

[@flproctor]

I love Karl!

[@sk0vern]

If he was actually bullying him, I;d agree. Ricky isn't saying "yes I am bullying him, but he's rich so who cares" - he's saying he isn't bullying him. They're best friends, Karl has said so before, their relationship is based on friendly 'abuse', if you like.

[@Mynameiscraig21]

Karl is actually a genius

[@ValValiantThor216]

I didnt call ricky because he would think brilliant he's having a breakdown 😆 😂

[@DisturbedAidan2]

Aliens: "What's this!? We've come miles..." HAHA XD Not lightyears then?

[@rockstarrist]

@XiaoPow exactly.

[@NimW]

WOW you caught someone misspelling on the internet! 5 points for you!

[@deanukpoker]

knackered

[@andrewbeeable]

I do, too. Why did your comment get removed...?

[@JeromeBeckett]

Now that I think about it, I do feel sorry for Karl that he is publicly being called an idiot on posters etc. all over the place.

[@moewishaw]

@beachie37 yeh but it's a different premise entirely, the new series is nothing like an idiot abroad.

[@DSK2086]

Karl Pilkington is the best!!!!

[@SLIPKN0Tvids]

"im an idiot...its not good."

[@loopycraig]

An idiot abroad 2 coming soon.. should be good

[@KelzMon]

Very good interviewer, seen some rubbish interviewers interviewing Karl in the past.....

[@PinkFloydFan74]

This man is a guru.

[@xSirDudex]

He said he didn't call his girlfriend much cause it annoyed him that she kept saying he was lucky to travel the world😂😂😂😂😂

[@1916Fitzy]

Yes he is, ricky even said in one interview about idiot abroad making him a million pounds, and karl just smiled in agreement, and that might have only been one series!

[@andycandyandy]

Karl did become the Palin

[@ChrisHepburn]

He definitely is a millionaire now.

[@genericfacelessuser]

I don't think he could get "down" in that way. I think he sees things so simply as far as his role in life, specificly with his love of DIY & being self-sufficiant, that I don't see him ever really getting depressed; especially considering the fact that his outlook is already so grim to begin with.lol
