Karl Pilkington outsmarts Ricky Gervais and goes mental

Karl goes crazy when he outsmarts Ricky Gervais on the XFM Ricky Gervais Show.

[@GeoffreyBronson]

The best part is that Steve got on Karl's side and triumphantly called it despite their history of having a go at eachother

[@Christoff070]

That's cause Steve is f*cking mean 🤣

[@peternichols7876]

This was a long time before Steve and Karl started having a go at each other. This was nearly 20 years ago.

[@fhornet3123]

Steve supported Karl a lot in the early days. Steve originally defended the early version of Rockbusters while Ricky shit on it right away.

[@whoopigoldberg9956]

Karl followed the money

[@user-om9hc5jg7v]

Every stupid reply here... they didnt start having a go at each other, they had banter, it was on a radio show 😅 they were always great mates

I've heard this clip a hundred times and just realised for the first time that Ricky's "blind" answer doesn't work because Karl clearly states there's nothing wrong with him at 4:15

That´s actually a great picture of Karl. He looks like a novelist.

[@mrSam3ooo]

I love when Karl goes mental it's one of the funniest things there is!

[@owenh906]

aww, the old xfm radio show is (for me) by far the greatest listen. When you hear all the stories for the first time and you are also witnessing great friendships develop.

[@theblackheart5727]

They’re all mates but I think I can hear a “sore loser” in Ricky’s voice at one point. It’s probably all just joking around but I think it’s really there.

[@milesbloomfield9832]

I don't know what's more amazing in this clip; the fact Steve actually sided with Karl or Ricky being stunned in disbelief that he was wrong and only making a sound by laughing as Karl started to celebrate.

I can never help but imagining Karl dancing along to the Weezer song after his cheer.

Karl came up with that lighthouse problem on his own?

[@arstulex]

People don't give Karl enough credit. They mistake his lack of knowledge (mostly a result of missing a lot of school as a kid) for lack of intelligence. I'm not saying he's notably smart or anything, just that he's not stupid. I mean, I'm sure you'd have to have some sort of intelligence to be the producer of Ricky Gervais's radio show on a big station.

[@FunnyCallsPrank]

The falling wall scene in the movie to the inevitable replies i'm likely to get, Germans behind the wall & Tom and his boys behind the other wall, ironically because of a helmet placement in the scene, our helmets were shockingly bad in ww2 they looked like they were again ironically there to protect our grandfathers from falling bricks ^o^ . Our modern helmets are still based on the German ww2 helmets, of! why are they wearing those dumb flat helmets we aint firing bricks at em
