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 😅

[@mancuniangamecat8288]

The guy with 3 legs wanted to be a dancer, but couldn't because he had 2 left feet. 😂

[@paulp1008]

could`ve been the mascot for the isle of man.

[@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

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

"..eyes that pop out of their heads..STEVE." 🤣

It's sad Karl's not in the limelight any more but we've got quality with Karl not quantity!!

[@cainsmyth53]

quality and quantity. have u not seen the hours and hours of radio shows, idiot abroad, podcasts.. theres alot

[@oneoddsockk]

Nice surname 😃 I have same but with a 'u'

[@lukematt4543]

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

[@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.

[@pasebeats6634]

'If you know too much, you can worry about stuff' .... when I was younger I always thought the saying ignorance is bliss was a negative, but the older I get the more I understand being ignorant is somewhat positive for mental health

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

[@christopherforder8966]

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

[@wenglishsal]

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

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

Yes. You can never do too much Karl

[@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.

[@MrArchie800]

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

[@deancurran2261]

watched loads of american reacts videos, nice to see one who actually shows how they feel, rather than keeping it innocent

[@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

[@insoft_uk]

Imagine a Vulcan doing a mind meld with him 🤣

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.

[@MrDazzlerdarren]

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

[@BLUETERRIER7]

This kills me😂😂😂😂 …good one KB👍

[@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.

[@zoefree3950]

You should do ‘an idiot abroad with Karl and Warwick Davis

[@paulhorgan6152]

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

[@adam8892]

I would love to go to the pub with Karl. Should be entertaining.

[@vudusid8717]

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

[@WiseGuy5674]

The funny part about the Twix story is that all Sopranos fans know that uncle Junior likes them a lot!😎

[@acehand5890]

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

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!

[@VimyScout]

Karl is a proper Manc see's everything for what it is but has his own sometimes naive but always funny take on it. Never harsh just pure comedy.

[@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.

[@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.

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

You should Definitely start watching Red Dwarf! You'd Love it :D

[@aaronmicalowe]

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.

[@ThebeardofCrunt]

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?

[@jupitersnoot4915]

I always get the vibe that Ricky Gervais actually has 0 respect at all for Karl, he just uses him because he's funny and people like him.

[@paulwensley4708]

You should watch Derek with Karl and Ricky in it

[@chemicalimpossibility9822]

I bow to the King!

[@shushh7461]

[@allenwood9967]

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

[@yekimsrennihs-yhprum2074]

[@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. :)

[@teresahall5835]

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

[@EfftupSmith]

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

[@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.*

Ya never see an old man 'avin' a Twix 'n' that.

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.

Hi King Boomer,, I think you’re brilliant, chuffed that you love our British humour . I don’t know if you’ve reacted to this or not , but if you like Ricky Gervaise and Karl Pilkington , watch a few episodes of “Derek ‘ Ricky plays Derek and Karl is Dougie the caretaker. You will die laughing 😂

[@DruncanUK]

I simply can't decide if Karl is really like that or if it's an act for the camera (and Ricky). Either way he is hilarious!

[@igniteee3804]

Bit of both I think. You’d have to be pretty similar to act that character I think. Unless he’s a incredible actor

[@vaudevillian7]

That’s really him, although there’s times he leans into a bit probably

[@andrew348]

Too many hours of podcasts, radio, and tv for Karl to be faking. It shouldn't be hard to believe that there are people out there that see the world differently than you.

[@msjaffacake]

He is like that. His thoughts and opinions just come out of his mouth. He doesn't think before he speaks. But he's not malicious. He just very naive and can come across as innocent.

[@AdamDawson1984]

This is really what he is like, he obviously adds a bit of humour into his opinions sometimes but it doesn't make them an act.
