Karl Pilkington ~ "The Estate"

[@Renzsu]

"... leave it", proceeds to tell the whole story. Brilliant.

[@spencerhardy8667]

Karl is like Stan Laurel. You slowly begin to realize who is the real genius...the deadpan delivery is hypnotic..along with the subtle perfect timing..and it's probably all true...

[@lesterclaypool1]

+spencer hardy My grandpa paid for one of Stan Laurel's divorces. Not so genius in the love department, Mr. Laurel.

[@tarashaw9418]

+lesterclaypool1 what does that mean? were they related?

[@lesterclaypool1]

tara shaw My grandpa and Stan Laurel were in Vaudeville together and remained friends their whole lives. Mr. Laurel was divorced like 4 or 5 times and my grandpa helped pay the real money on one of his divorces that he didn't have at the time.

[@tarashaw9418]

***** well theres a good friend for you! hopefully he appreciated it.

[@lesterclaypool1]

tara shaw He was very good to my grandfather in return. Flew out to be with him when my grandmother died suddenly. We had their correspondence back and forth for years in this house but my mum must have given it to someone at some point.

[@hallsworthdannyt]

How Ricky Gervais hasn't noted all this drivel down for and made a 6 episode sitcom is beyond me. Id tune in to watch a surreal comedy called "The Estate". These characters Karl comes out with would be awesome comedy material.

[@jodu626]

Now that's an idea!!

[@reinforcedpenisstem]

+hallsworthdannyt I think because it's only funny through Karl.

[@Super_tramp142]

Karl could play his Dad!

[@farben_]

Because they're based on real people and they would sue to get money out of them.

[@VLAD_P_]

Steve could play the horse in the house ...

[@GeoffreyBronson]

The marvellous thing is that a lot of what Karl says happens all across the UK. I grew up knowing loads of people who had witches in their families or ghosts in their lofts.

[@wearebillionyearoldcarbon9563]

Same lol

[@richardthelionheart8656]

I can imagine an animated series where Karl goes back to live on the estate.

[@aledhopkins2958]

Tbf my Gran used to be a district nurse and she got called to a house on Penlan council estate in Swansea and there was a horse upstairs

[@kawaiilotus]

THE ABSOLUTE FUCK.

[@Quiet_One]

"How did they get the horse?" Karl: "Must have nicked it." lololol

[@allydespino2172]

youre face is scary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 0:

[@Quiet_One]

the gaming wolf That's what I was going for. Sorry for the fright.

[@allydespino2172]

thats ok.

[@tracyokeefe8448]

I remember miss piggy with the mirror 😂😂 xx on the 219 to Ashton xx

[@Samboy666]

i lived in Salford for 4 years when I was at uni and what Karl says is true. I saw people with massive eye lids. Also saw all kinds of strange looking people including pig people! It is worse than the show Shameless . But it was epic!!!

[@imnotgayyy8489]

Ha!

[@wearebillionyearoldcarbon9563]

The thing about his mum not letting Karl get in his mate's dad car because his eyelids were that droopy killed me 😂😂🤣

[@MrPKenneally]

I knew a guy who had that same eyelid problem. He too used to tilt his head back to drive. Think Droopy the cartoon dog

[@14kip54]

Lol

[@wearebillionyearoldcarbon9563]

😂

[@DaGleese]

I actually know exactly what Karl is going on about with the big eyelids. I grew up near manchester, and there are just like these types of people with big eyelids, they always looked half closed. We didn't refer to them as big eyelids though, me and my mates always called them "big jamjilla david crocket eyeballs" The david crocket bit didn't mean anything, we just heard his name in school about the same time we made a name for the big eyelids thing, and it stuck.

[@dazedpixidust1150]

is Karl talking about stoned looking ppl when hes talking about big eyelids, hes mad funny, I'm trying to imagine these ppl with the lids

[@sarahc561]

The mirror talking! excellent!

[@MineCrafter2uk]

Sure the people with 'big eye lids' weren't just stoned

[@oldschoolm8]

Karl had such an odd childhood that he thought was normal! I do know what he means by the kids with big heads though, there was a kid at my school who's head didn't look like it belonged on his body.

[@nesossin]

+Jez Creed Jimmy Carr?

[@kawaiilotus]

I know a man at the pub whose got a massive head.

[@typhoonmanchester850]

You was funny when we where kids carl living on thirsk with our C.B radios i never knew you and darren campbell the runner would tv talents mate . Weldone hope to see you again one day matey

She just said her mam was a witch and that

[@johngilmore697]

Normal

[@ramiroborges7359]

wow wow wow wow wow, come here! I NEVER... and want to see you wear that helment again

[@Velasca]

I wonder how many interactions the characters on the estate had with each other. Did Miss Piggy the husband beater with the mirror ever meet Scruffy Sandra? Did the Pauline Quirke sex line woman with the horse on the avenue ever meet the mental homeless woman with the bucket for a baby? Things we'll never know. Mad innit

[@johngilmore697]

The Scruffy Sandra theory makes no sense at all. How would he know if someone he barely interacts with ever fell ill?

[@smu3l1]

which episode does Karl talk about the people with big eye lids??

[@smu3l1]

+Samuel Lee don't worry guys - it's from 2nd august 2003

[@dexterdamuz2529]

Pilko Pump Pant!

[@mauricepatrickboy]

I forget the name of the physical condition Karl is talking about but I do know that it's the condition that gives tge afflicted one bulbous eyes and other large facial features.

[@nomorelies86]

What episode is the helmet story from? I have listened to all of the xfm shows forever but never heard that one. Please can someone tell me??

[@orth82]

aww...how sweet!

[@govindakeshavdas]

What is an estate

[@YaHozna1]

+govinda keshavdas Council Estate. Load of houses/flats built by local councils as social (cheap) housing.

[@Doopdedoopdedoopdoop]

A shithole full of adventures

[@TheOssumPawesome]

Sort of like the Uk version of the projects

Karl must of lived near Chernobyl not Salford Manchester lol! Big eyelids

[@jcrawley1]

He does mention that he lived near a chemical plant

[@changvasejarik62]

If this estate is real and as weird as Karl claims then we may have to make a preservation so the world can know narnia and pepperland might be possible.

[@itsMrNoble]

2:40 is stone cold

[@cunningflop]

realised they obviously scripted the bit in the podcasts about sitting and watching themselves in the mirror because they said it in this episode before

[@Yophillips3272]

I don't think it's scripted Ricky said they took parts of these and dubbed it over the cartoon. But I'm not 100% sure.

[@imnotgayyy8489]

But dis is compilation of previous show s

[@SupaDr00g]

Big fucking eyelids LOL.

[@ryanm94]

Karl has the worst parents lmao.

[@scottjohnevans97]

Ryan M Best in many ways. They weren't overly protective and allowed him freedom.

[@eme1one]

Worst? His dad sorts out ANY problem, his mom has the empathy to paint a spider white, so it doesn't get sucked up into a vacuum. They call almost daily and all holiday together.

[@ladedade23Blunticus]

with the bewildered look Karl has on his face now must of had it then too coupled with the helmet probably made him look like a special needs child..must of been why pops Pilkington told him to never wear it again lol.
