American Reacts to "MEET KARL PILKINGTON" - Reaction

[@andreashessler838]

This is basically the type of conversation you can hear in almost any UK pub. You can also get involved once you've had enough alcohol.

[@johnthompson3462]

Karl is just pure logic.His own off the scale logic that works for him.

[@arrongoldberg4684]

What's funny is that if you listen carefully he actually makes more sense than who he is speaking to and more often than not ricky 😅. You would be amazed at the amount of truths in the stories and topics he discussed on xfm and the ricky gervais show that everyone laughed at but he was actually not wrong

[@FlyboyHelosim]

He may have Asperger's, as their thoughts and fundamental being is based in logic.

[@louissanderson719]

@@arrongoldberg4684but he also only reads the first line of a headline and makes shit up as he goes along lol. Not to mention questioning the point of the works of Isaac Newton and questioning the point of anti biotics. He also thought there was a crossover period between the dinosaurs and man. Most of the monkey news was complete lunacy 😅

[@DJVoyagerXue]

Gotta love Karl, he is so dry and sees the world very differently from most. One of the funniest lines for me was when Karl was at the "Great Wall of China" and said, "it's ok, not that great, should have called it the Ok Wall of China" classic. 🤣

[@lilyliz3071]

Or the pyramids are just like a big game of Jenga

[@glenthorne5936]

For me the funniest was the "debrief" after getting caught up in a fake kidnapped/ransom situation & he just kept yelling "CONGRESS TART!! CONGRESS TART!!" like a crazed lunatic. It was just so random & ridiculous

I love Karl he speaks as he thinks and there’s no filter. I love it. I live these two when they get together. So funny their conversations

[@LAMAxFACE]

You can see why Ricky thought he had hit the jackpot when he met him. He calls him his gift to the world and he certainly did not disappoint. Yeh Karl's brain works differently to other peoples' the meaning behind a lot of what he says is never what you initially think.

[@lukematt4543]

Should watch ‘an idiot abroad’ is basically just Karl going round the world and doing things he doesn’t want to do 😂

[@stevensoar1392]

Karl is legend 😂😂

[@fotzilla3832]

He's been one of my favorite humans since I learned of his existence.

[@wenglishsal]

Bless 'im, Karl has no filter at all, if it's in his head it will comes straight out of his mouth.. ;)

Man I've listened to the podcasts and the 'a guide to' podcasts soooo many times! It never fails to cheer you up.

[@steveb1972]

I love when they put the podcast soundtrack to a cartoon of the guys 👍🏼

[@jamess3474]

Glad I found your channel. Brit here living in Devon in the UK. If you ever come to the UK we can take you to a few good pubs! Cheers!

[@TheMadTatter]

Karl is brilliant in so many ways. He absolutely means everything he says, but there isnt a single drop of malice intended with it. It's like we used to be allowed to think and talk before twitter and reddit became humanitys moral compass.

[@viking_nor]

No literally no one ever did say or think like this before social media. Wtf are u talking about. He is a nice simple dumb man. The end

[@dellmack9008]

yup he maybe the funniest guy on the planet

[@alexae1367]

Or maybe even more is that his malice is sort of evenly dispersed among the population🤣 - undifferentiated whinge

[@alexae1367]

You're allowed to talk. Maybe you and the rest have just gotten more sensitive to people's responses. I mean I know what you mean but. It used to be everybody who wasn't a Christian, or a rightie, or was a communist, or a hedonist, could get fired for saying what they thought. Maybe in the end it'll bring everybody together over free speech when they didn't care when it was the other side😅. Or maybe more likely we'll blow ourselves up pretty soon😆

[@alexae1367]

Great screen name u got tho

[@deniseperryman2814]

I love them both they are hilarious together Ricky is a very intelligent man really funny loved it 👍Love from Denise in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿😂😂😂👍💞💞💞👋

[@grahamrsparker]

This channel is going to go far because he does loads of UK reactions lol

[@AnOldEnglishBloke]

Not only that. Brian actually seems to get it. As in he understands our English/British sensibilities and humour. Many US reaction channels that rely on British culture to propagate their channels' success don't actually understand the source material, and the reactions are dry and obviously forced. Most reaction channels are full of vapid, empty fake reactions, so it's good to see what appears to be genuine reactions from Americans who do authentic, genuine stuff.

[@danielgardecki1046]

5:50 A two headed kid was born a few days ago in India. Karl would've loved it.

[@jakezywek6852]

Yep the article was featured in the Leicester Mercury.

[@Lnch4ALion]

Yes. You can never do too much Karl

[@ph8077]

A couple of days ago there was a news story on MSN with an Indian baby born with two heads...Karl proving Ricky wrong yet again.

[@JokerSmoker72]

You should check out Ricky Gervais's series Life's to Short ( About a dwarf actor) The Convention scene has to be one of best british comedy moments ever.

[@sandwitch4300]

Karl makes me happy in a split second when i am down👍🏻👍🏻😂

[@lewilewis3944]

Thanks for doing a US/UK comparison that isn't the 'same old, same old'. I haven't seen this before and I'm a Brit. Can't really say that about the other US content providers. So many seem to piggy back the same trend and pretend it's new to them. Keep it up, old chap.

[@KingBoomer]

I try to take suggestions and find things on my own. Thanks for watching!

[@paulhorgan6152]

Yes Karl Pilkington's brain is amazing, with or without his head 🤣🤣🤣

[@marcom6089]

My cheeks and stomach hurt from laughing… add to that your reaction and it makes it even funnier.

You need to watch the whole XFM catalogue! It's Ricky, Steve and Karl ..........pure comedy :-D .....and where the Steve/disability thing comes from LOL ...."he's not having a go" haha

[@vudusid8717]

Just to correct Ricky, The Elephant Man wasn't called John Merrick, he was actually called Joseph Merrick. A common misconception.

[@insoft_uk]

Imagine a Vulcan doing a mind meld with him 🤣

[@acehand5890]

You have to watch the series where Ricky and Steve send him around the world, An Idiot Abroad is very funny.

[@lucylou780]

Great reaction 🤣 I'm from Manchester too.

[@andrew348]

Karl's point was that bipedal animals are slower than quadrupedal animals so a tripedal man would not only be faster than a normal bipedal man but would have more control of the ball with 3 legs.

[@MrArchie800]

I'd bet he'd be a great swimmer too ;-)

[@myrahonore2656]

Love this channel it’s fucking awesome

[@xKynOx]

I still have that book in perfect condition, last time i looked on ebay it was over £150.

[@Thunderbolts81]

FYI - Twix is a two finger chocolate/Caramel/Biscuit bar and Werther's is a hard sweet associated with something old men eat.

[@Retrospective.]

Yo fella, "Irish guy can't find his soup" ;)

[@allenwood9967]

There needs to be an " In between " segment instead of adverts, Carl's opinions, gardening, vehicles, fisting etc.

[@lewisjones2825]

Memory is stored all over the place

[@AnOldEnglishBloke]

I'm with Karl on the 'Infinite monkeys eventually typing the works of Shakespeare' idea. This is because I have studied the 'Library of Babel' principle. This principle basically debunks the chimp/typewriter/Shakespeare theory.

[@worthalook4870]

Can watch Karl all day, hilarious

[@AlexP1-y4g]

In the theme of the monkies and infinity, surely if you had infinity and by definition a infinite amount of beheaded bodies surely one would eventually walk, even a few steps?

[@vidiveniviciDCLXVI]

What sort of 3 legged animal is faster than a two legged one? We don't know we've never caught one...... Boom Boom.

[@christinestromberg4057]

I wonder if Karl Pilkington reads The Fortean Times as I do. It's full of odd stuff from around the world. There are weird things happening you don't normally see or hear about. Many of these extra body parts are actually twins that went wrong in the womb and became one child with extra limbs or suchlike. I saw one in India where the child was worshipped as being like one of the Hindu gods. The one that is depicted as having many arms, though actually it's supposed to indicate movement I believe. Really, you'd be amazed at what goes on in some places. I have to say I'm with Karl on infinity. LOL Oh and I was born in Manchester too. :)

[@Pinkoni10]

I think Karl Pilkington is my Spirit Animal.

[@teresahall5835]

Carl has a point when it comes to beheading,watch a headless chicken and you'll see why!🤣👍lol.

a certain point, but nobody ever drew a white line on the floor and told someone to walk it after their beheading.

Hahahaha..that's outrageous ..they age overnight 😂😂

[@danielgardecki1046]

One thing which I never get is why they keep calling Karl's literature item *"a book."* It's not a book. It's a pull-out from the men's magazine *FHM* which is titled *The Carnival of the Grotesque.*

The thing about Karl is, whether we agree with his viewpoints or not doesn't really matter. He's a lovable person even when he's talking nonsense, cause he really doesn't mean any harm to anyone. It's that positive aspect that we'd all like to see more of in the world.

Actually, Karl is wonderfully simple and correct. Unless it is actually demonstrated under scientific conditions it is only a theory. Like Schrodinger's Cat. A theory yet to be proved and probably (one hopes) never will.
