Ricky Gervais and Karl Pilkington - BBC Breakfast (6/12/11)

[@sanderhfl]

Karl is the only person I know who truly treats everybody the same.

[@o0julek0o]

Hahaha, Yeah, all of them in the same curious way. "It's a crosseyed cat! I've never seen that on a cat before..."

[@macca96tm35]

So true realist guy

[@aaronbanks8577]

Absolutely!!

[@alexhodgkinson6718]

Sander van der Hoek Its his aspergers. I'm the same. It doesn't make sense to treat people and animals any differently.

[@B3stie17]

he doesn't have aspergers

[@Hjominbonrun]

I dont think Ricky is lying when he says that Karl is the funniest person he ever met. I could listen to him for hours.

[@Karl_Drogo55]

Of course he isn't lying

[@vall7178]

Check out XFM 👍

[@Anonymous-or4ru]

Karl is a truly great man. I love his honesty. And he's humble. Best of all he says 'thank you' in his interviews. Politeness and gratitude are good qualities.

[@jakebaw8937]

[@apatternedhorizon]

His honesty? Four foot immediately to five foot then add a half

[@w8m4n]

@@apatternedhorizon yeah, he was trying to make it passable for Ricky. He knows he's being filmed.

[@apatternedhorizon]

@@w8m4n yeah it wasn't even that high. My point is he's not virtuously honest

[@JMUDoc]

Karl ALWAYS ends up asking the INTERVIEWER questions!

[@aaronmicalowe]

That's the best bit of the interview

[@peterf08]

Hes a great listener Karl

[@stopdropandroll]

Do we need em?

[@theflyingpigmen2]

i cracked up when i saw Karl waving at the camera at the end

[@aaronmicalowe]

It was sweet of him to care about the audience

[@Simek95]

hahaha legend

[@forgive7449]

@@aaronmicalowe awwwww. arrogant 😏

[@aaronmicalowe]

@@forgive7449 it's also arrogant to think that another person is arrogant. Isn't that ironic 😏

[@Dingalow]

You can tell he's not used to this because Ricky had to tell him not to get up and leave right at the end there lol

[@brainrot4919]

Love how ricky and karl are genuine and down to earth, unlike 99% of other celebrities, top guys.

[@charle7242]

[@neodonkey]

Ricky was talking about him like one talks about a pet.

[@mohammedali-wp5co]

[@jellydee123]

Owwww, arrogant

[@luminousb9272]

For real he's smarter than all of them will ever be, I just don't get it beause they followed a route everyone told them life was about they think they're better. It doesn't make fucking sense.

[@rossshaw571]

Him and Ricky are best friends? Listen to their podcasts they’ve been like that for years

[@jordan3400]

Cameraman: it was 4 feet Karl: it was about 5 feet Ricky: *laughs* Karl: i think it was about 5 and 1/2 feet right..

[@seanbrown8533]

Hahahaha it's the adding half a foot, like that's a big difference but he's being a bit "more honest" hahaha!

[@NxDoyle]

Karl's laughter is so rare that, when he does laugh, it's somehow comforting. I've never seen his face melt as it does around 2:13

[@ProSwiss]

ikr

[@JHA854]

I don't know why they call him a comedian. He's not a comedian, he's just honest.

[@YangSing1]

He's a natural comedian

[@jasoneaton4520]

He's a moron.

[@gudfella1034]

Jason Eaton You are.

[@jasoneaton4520]

Why would you go and hurt my feelings like dat?

[@gudfella1034]

Jason Eaton Sorry had to.

[@DingoWing0]

I was pissing myself laughing just at him waving at the end, not knowing where to look

[@luminor0077]

that was the best bit when he waved

[@johnnyfelcher8156]

hahahahahaha! It's almost like he realized he might not be waving at the right camera so he just waved at every camera instead.

[@aaronmicalowe]

yeah, you can tell which camera is live by a little red flashing LED but unless you are used to where all the cameras are it takes a moment to find which one it is

[@TheMikeyReilly]

I'm not a morning person, so that horrific, deafening silence that accompanies BBC breakfast makes me come out in a cold sweat as it reminds me of the days when I have to get up at 5:30am for work. I REALLY can't do early starts.

[@whereami2477]

Omg exactly

[@ilovecats170]

I have to get up at 4:30 and my brain refuses to work that early 😂

[@TheBloodsuger150]

The interviewer said Ricky and Karl were meant to say “welcome to the show” at the beginning and Karl just thought she was talking to him and said “thanks for having us” 😂

[@clairea9915]

Awwww he waves at the end, and not just to one camera, but all of them just in case. What a sweetheart. Down to earth sweetheart.

[@Metrallata]

lmao thats my favorite part of the whole season 2 of idiot abroad "how high was it?" "it was about 4 foot" *continues to say it was 5 foot infront of the camera as if it didnt pick up the other guys voice*

[@antivorg1239]

And then starts saying it's 5 and a half foot 😂

[@dillendillen8152]

That one cracked me up.

[@elleeme9451]

I disagree. I think he's perfectly capable mentally and actually seems to think deeply and analyse. What I believe is going on is a big lack of confidence and no pretense. He lacks the fake mask many people especially in the media wear. That is a big part of what makes him brilliant to watch.

[@taffysaur]

I can’t stop laughing t the idea that Ricky rang up Karl’s school to get his history scores... 😂

[@marcmaddock9980]

The xfm shows are my happy place, got me through some rough times.

[@XelibriLP]

Nothing makes me happier than finding videos of Karl I haven’t seen

[@RojoBoxeador]

These presenters were subliminally pretty rude at the beginning. Demanding Ricky and Karl set the tone for the interview. It's their job to engage the guest don't get all arsey because you're not ready to present a morning show.

[@YangSing1]

What?

[@vandamme6379]

RojoBoxeador Asking someone to come to your workplace & do your job. Haha

[@RojoBoxeador]

Ga Van Damme Lol exactly, can't understand it

[@Renzsu]

Yeah they got the passive aggressiveness down to a T

[@ghostehh]

And the way she said hello welcome to the show to karl was unbelievably condescending as if she was talking to a fucking vegetable... i hope she felt like shit after.

[@laurastitanic]

The mediocre news correspondents are laughing at him as if it's an exclusive club that Karl's not part of. Karl is probably one of the most interesting people I've ever seen, he's not pretentious, doesn't pander to those on TV & film & it must get these people's back up that he doesn't fawn over them. He's smart, he's funny without trying to be, he's a breath of fresh air.

[@starbarrothschild6597]

The BBC had to put "comedian " in the screen caption after Ricky and Karls names, as if we dont know who they are.

[@minidwarfdude9230]

He's just an average bloke who's slipped into the land of celebrity and it's hilarious seeing how clueless he is 😂

[@Milamberinx]

He's definitely below average IQ. He's quick, he makes good use of what he has, but he's also definitely an idiot.

[@TheNicerookiE]

@@Milamberinx I'd argue that he definitely isn't idiotic, he become head of production at XFM before he met Gervais so he must have some gift of the gab attributes about him.

[@Milamberinx]

@@TheNicerookiE ‘head of production’ for a radio station that doesn’t produce anything. He was basically in charge of editing the interstitials.

[@spreadthelove77]

His genuine normalcy is what I love about Karl. Even in the old days listening to the XFM shows with Ricky and Steve, I knew he was a national treasure in the making :)

[@wonderwoman5528]

They treat Karl like a child when, in some ways, he’s a lot smarter than all of them

[@Sam_T1021]

I bet they don't know how to grout a bathroom

[@robertJ14]

Because Karl knows and exposes how fake and stupid stuff like tv really is

[@chriss.9398]

I think its funny when ricky said karl was arrogant for wanting to call his show karl pilkington's bucket list when ricky named the animated hbo show simply ''the ricky gervais show'' haha

[@TEKRific]

+Chris S. Yeah, that says it all now doesn't it? Karl is great though and Ricky isn't too bad.

[@georgeaveline9739]

That was the joke

[@opus0872]

Karl wasn't famous back then, ricky was so famous he got invited to meet the Queen at Buckingham palace. He's name attracted viewers. duuuhhhh

[@TEKRific]

I think you misunderstood the source of my mirth, Sir, as well as my comment. It was neither a case of degree of fame nor any implied arrogance. I suggest you watch the clip again. I was not taking the piss of Ricky Gervais. Duh is American for not understanding irony but being sarcastic when not really getting the point. Well played!

[@uyy7uhy]

+Chris S. If you think Ricky was being serious you really don't understand his humour.

[@sgtallstar]

i was in hospital for 2 weeks..........idiot abroad 1 and 2 during the day, xfm and podcasts during the night. Best two weeks of my life.

[@Pianosnail12]

Thought he was swimming with dolphins but we changed it with sharks haha

[@Matty217]

Passive aggressive hosts - "wait for them to warm up". It's your show, the presenters trying to palm off the work to their guests and then being stiff the whole interview.

[@pinchopaxtonsgreatestminds9591]

"I think when someone's annoyed me, you kinda get a bit of an adrenaline thing, and then that keeps me happy. I'm quite happy moaning." - Karl Pilkington

[@MangledFury]

[@dookeyb9986]

Karl is comedy gold bought all the dvds & watch them time & time again absolute legend

[@aaronmicalowe]

I think Gervais genuinely likes Karl. Ricky can call anyone an idiot. That's his way of testing if they're real. Karl gives him something close to that impossible dream. That means that Gervais is the only person on the planet who could have first seen the potential in Karl. They're both geniuses in their own way.

[@stevebrindle1724]

Karl is far from being an idiot! He is full of dry northern humour and I love his manner!

[@ct6852]

Karl has a great cadence in the way he talks. Like he never wastes a syllable.

They both have a morning face, aw. I think Karl is mixing up this with The One Show that usually has that over the top laughter from the camera man, making it seem like the BBC is a part of the common folk lol.

[@foekist7312]

You gotta love Karls honesty. Plus he is genuinely funny- he doesn't even have to try to make you laugh. lol @ go on, you jump off that table. Can't wait for the moaning of life, part 2. I believe Ricky when he says that Karl is the funniest person he has ever met.

taking everything too seriously and not seeing nuances are symptoms of autism, just saying

You are forgetting who came up with the idea.

[@irishelk3]

An Idiot Abroad is one of my favorite Tv shows ever. Such a great idea, taking your grumpy pessimistic friend from Manchester and sending him around the world. And he sees the world completely upside down anyway so it was always going to be entertaining. I liked Moaning of life, but i would love to see another series of Idiot Abroad.

[@Martial-Mat]

He's just so refreshingly honest, and so un-showbiz

[@domosmuggler12]

he is ! he's naturally funny as in he isnt scripted its the way he acts and wat he says so oviously sometimes he isnt but i love him !

[@tomfletcherUK]

Karl becomes officially the first person to ever wave at the camera at the end of the news at 9:04 rather than pretending to talk and shuffling papers...

It's not a formal introduction, but it's used by people from all walks of life, from all over the country as an informal greeting. It's the more contemporary form of "how do you do?" where the response is a repetition of the original greeting.
