Karl Pilkington - The Culture Show 20/10/2007

Karl Pilkington on the culture show, talking about his new book "Happyslapped by a Jellyfish".

[@KevinAndrewRea]

There is no way that if it were publicized and put out there today that Karl was doing a book signing somewhere that this little amount of people would show up. You would have lines out of doors. Lol Karl is a legend and I would be truly honored to meet him one day.

[@GlitcHead]

Karl Pilkington and Joy Division - two of my favorite things in the world

[@honeyglamourdancehug]

Yes! Jo Brand has actually made Karl laugh, good woman! :P

[@RachelTheVlogger]

I got his book for xmas its brilliant and hilarious i cant put it down :). I also got Karlology and Further Adventures Of An Idiot Abroad :). Karl is so unique and funny, i adore him.

[@piaka56]

I have that book. I LOVE it. I think it should be mandatory to read that book in school. Screw "The Scarlet Letter" , "Animal Farm" , "Lord of the Flies" whatever. GO PILKO!!

[@rtwoodlands]

i love the way ricky just plugged his own book at the end ;)

[@cheekyegg]

love the old lady looking at him and walking off

[@mattmaloneypresents]

i do love karl. ricky is absolutly right, he sees the world differently in a way like no other. it's so hilariouse and brilliantly originaly.

[@1Kilili]

Karl talking to Sir Terry Pratchett. Amazing conversations that would have been on radio. :) Fan of both :)

[@Ray_D_Tutto]

I think Terry would have loved Karl. He appreciates divergent thinking and would probably be very interested in Karl's fascination of weird things.

[@alspunos]

5:35 - That woman that checks out Karl and his book, then just moves on - lmfao.

[@ibrozdemir]

i didnt know he wrote a book and was ecpecting his fans... i would visit there from Turkey :D .. i love him as like thousands of other people who loves him

[@lmfbarrett]

Terry Pratchett speaking to Karl Pilkington. Legend meets Legend.

[@pianospawn1]

Man Karl has met such a medley of big names, and with all of them he's just completely un-phased. Good bloke

[@Wasimple]

it's called No Love Lost, it is by Joy Division

[@ISetYourFaceOnFire]

Back in 07...probably. But now, the lines would be out the doors and down the street going down for a mile. He's pretty damn close to being a house-hold name.

[@ThePresident001]

This is the next book I'm going to read.

[@rberry978]

i wanna read his book now and that

[@sweou]

Does anyone know the name of the music playing in the background, it's kind of catchy!

[@jimmy2k4o]

got his book for xmas, keep it in the toilet now I canny wait for a nice big post xmas dinner shite

[@NickSpeakz]

I realy want Karls book

[@azzad10]

haha karl eating a banana is one of the funniest things I've seen in a ages!

[@johnnyontube]

hahaha , what an introduction . first time you see karl hes looking gormlessly at a bike rider passing by haha hes brilliant

[@Mr420rush]

Ricky is a little harsh sometimes to karl, but you can tell he genuinely cares for him.

[@TomHoward]

@EmceeKayR You should liste to the xfm radio shows he did with ricky and steve back in 2002 he laughs all the time.

[@trongborg]

head like a fucking orange/ i love karl

[@Gunnar-Peterson]

His expression change at 4:04 is hilarious.

[@edbailey1991]

karl has read a book, he read The Governor on holiday that one time. It's just the chapters were in the wrong order and he thought it was just 'being arty'.

[@harryprice1935]

He only realised when he got to chapter 1.

[@assassinbbx]

3:12 Humpty Dumpty and Karl sitting on a wall made me laugh.

[@PukkaTucker]

wow, i've never seen karl laugh

[@mrfundah]

He did have huge queues for 3 hours when he done the book signing for idiot abroad 2 book

[@MrSeppo2010]

karl is so much smarter then he lets on and not and idiot at all

[@ArecVsBush]

Thumbs up for that lovely Joy Division

[@LegoDonut18]

A lot of short pieces for telly that Karl produces seems to use Joy Division a lot.

[@kjscfc1863]

TUNEEEEE!!!

[@rtwoodlands]

@116Bears yeah i think he was just putting it on

[@mrnobody6354]

"I've done nothing wrong..." the way he said it makes him look so pitiful XD

[@lumpheadthump]

I would have come to Karl's table at the book signing......after meeting Michael Palin first of course......

[@mrKRB64]

Seeing Karl eating a banana is hilarious for some reason XD

[@dornravlin]

what do you mean by that hes a badass i love him talking about film

[@RoseJacksonHRJ]

Aw, he properly laughs at Jo Brand's little joke :-)

[@JackDD]

@pinkfloydrule27 AGREE!!!!!

[@Gleryff]

Literary criticism. Yes it is!

[@ValValiantThor216]

2:33 🤣🤣

[@sratus]

what is the song that starts at 1.50?

[@116Bears]

@rtwoodlands Almost seemed like he was taking the piss there though. I suppose he could have been acting...

[@CyberMan14]

how big's the font? genius.

[@ghtjnn]

Wonderful - the Beta Band

[@xxczerxx]

I thought it was 2 northern blokes on the coach trip?

[@TruthThanks]

karl the queues would be out of the door now mate

[@rtwoodlands]

@116Bears yeah, he probably was

[@JacksInn]

Karl can't be captured in written words. You need audio and video. Stick to that Karl. I'll watch and listen.

[@lukenluken]

I read his books in his voice, so that's 10 year old bollocks mate!

[@HellsHighwayTrooper]

does anyone agree karl looks like ben stiller from the side of his head?

[@VerifiedFiveIron]

@pinkfloydrule27 High-flyer, eh? Lol.

[@dave93x]

Surely, authors don't put their max effort into writing books just for the money? If I wrote a book, yeah I'd publicise it, but just because I'd think people needed to read it. What Jo Brand said about "raking it in" and what that other guy said about only being judged on how many units you shift, is so shallow and desperate. I know it's their career, but still. The best books are the ones that aren't mainstream and come from real people who won't think about earning, therefore, a genuine book.

[@ghtjnn]

Wonderful - the Beta Band Only took 2 years...

[@MichaelWalshCT]

Holy shit. Can Armando Iannucci and Karl work together??

[@lmfbarrett]

High five

[@ghtjnn]

Anyone know the song at 00:20?

[@matthinchcliffe6158]

His head looked fuckin round

[@acehicks78]

@opensourcethong why?

[@jAyDeN30111]

Frightened frog

[@JackDD]

Alright?

[@DazzGray06]

Who peed on Karls leg when he got stung?

[@moonstarr8053]

although I think he is hilarious...I would not buy the book. Only funny to me with the combo of his expressions (verbal and facial) and the dynamics he experiences with others.

[@VerifiedFiveIron]

No wonder Karl doesn't laugh much. He looks like like something out of Kez when he laughs.

[@mattmaloneypresents]

i do love karl. ricky is absolutly right, he sees the world differently in a way like no other. it's so hilariouse and brilliantly originaly.
