Learn English with Ricky Gervais (and Karl Pilkington) | reaction

[@TerranSol]

Karl has no script, Karl is just Karl. Mr Pilkington is one of those truly unique individuals that we only meet once in our lifetimes.

Mr.dilkington

[@charismatic9467]

It's half and half. It's like with Larry David too. Sure they do believe a lot of what they say. But they are hamming it up and are aware of the comedy of it

[@myplaylistisfire]

@@charismatic9467 Nah, if you have lived in the north of England you'd know this is not hamming it up. The only time he ever really has is on the ricky gervais show podcasts, where they redid some stories like they were new.

[@charismatic9467]

@@myplaylistisfire He’s broken character before, it’s well known that they’re doing a bit.

[@JustinB-123]

Karl may unintentionally be the funniest person ever.

[@markcutting6504]

Still don't understand why people think Karl's an actor,let alone a comedian?Karl's a typical working class man,brought up on a council estate in manchester,who had a fairly happy childhood,but hated school.just a normal bloke that speaks his mind.unfortunately his mind is like a pinball machine full of nonesense,that he speaks before he thinks

[@archiewall124]

@@fvefve12it kind of is unintentional though because he’s just being himself. It’s not like he suddenly changes into this funny character. From the day he was first on radio he was funny.

[@elvisleeboy]

​@@markcutting6504Perhaps so, but I'm convinced that he's aware that he's funny and that he knows full well that the things he says will achieve laughs. If he was as simple as many people think, he would have struggled to be a bin man, let alone the producer of a national radio show.

[@elvisleeboy]

​@@archiewall124His gift is being able completely sell it by keeping a straight face. There is not a hint that he knows in his facial expressions, but he absolutely knows that the things he says are funny. For example, why would he refer to the Great Wall Of China as the "all right wall of China"? There is no other reason than knowing it's a funny line. I think a lot of people are fooled simply because he's fooled Ricky Gervais into thinking he's simple.

[@RobertClaeson]

Karl is a fantastically great actor. It's not unintentional.

[@owbeer]

karls face when ricky calls him a bald orange is priceless.

[@markcutting6504]

Imagine if his postman was Chinese & said he looked like a bald fuk in orange

[@earthwormandruw]

bald orange for president 2024!

[@TwoNinePrime]

I always get a kick out of how long Karl sits there holding the imaginary tea lol.

[@earthwormandruw]

If it were so imaginary then why is it so hot??!

[@StephenDamroth]

yeah, the dynamic is better with the three of them. Ricky is too quick to jump on Karl when Stephen isn't there to say "let's hear him out". Ricky is the gas, Stephen is the brake, and Karl is the broken steering wheel

[@guigoinz112]

So true!

[@Plague_Doc22]

Oh hell yeah, one of my favorite videos! Anything Karl is phenomenal.

It's such a pleasure watching your charming reactions whilst watching this video. Your smile is bewitching, and the way those eyes of yours light up, is just beguiling. Shine on, lovely lady, like only you can. I wish you rainbows.

[@HippoOnABicycle]

There's a second Karl Pilkington travel show called The Moaning of Life that I highly recommend watching if you haven't already, it came out a couple years after An Idiot Abroad and is Karl travelling the world to figure out the meaning of life by meeting up with people from different cultures and participating in their various local traditions

[@philproffitt8363]

Awesome 👌 😁

[@johnrobert493]

I love how idiot abroad was pitched as torturing Karl, but look, he's addicted to travel

[@Mortimuss]

Carl is for sure an act. You’ll catch a smile every so often. They can’t believe they’re getting away with it.

[@FairyRat]

This skit brings me to tears every time, and I've watched dozens of times, my face genuinely hurts from laughter. Karl is a mad genius.

[@MAGFingerpost-tt1so]

I have to say I love your smile and your laugh. Your videos are always great, as your intelligence and sense of humour shines through. Thank you

😂❤ Karl is the funniest... I have watched and listened to do much stuff with him in

[@4supernatural]

I absolutely love British TV …I alternate subscriptions!! Stage is one of my favorites!! I enjoy learning a different vocabulary with the subtitles!! The comedy and mystery!! Especially because as diverse as we are in USA the British are as well!! I also enjoyed What we do in the shadows which is an adaptation to the New Zealand movie by the same title, crossed over to USA …British actors as are American actors in the series that are hysterical. I watch New Zealand with subtitles because I will get visual of the words and look up the definition!! I also enjoy British podcasting, audiobooks it helps me keep up my vocabulary sharp!! I’m a flight attendant 25 years when I use to the London route six times a month my English began to change. I still read subtitles because I find even in Bewitched series, like the heavy hitter and eloquent actress, Agnes Moorhead!! I learn words and expressions. Just the way Agnes plays her parts are truly unique. No one can ever match her talent!! All I am stating is you can learn so much if expand your horizons, just a click of a button!! My vocabulary has dramatically changed. It all began for me with Are you be served and upstairs down stairs series!! Now I’m hooked on, The Cleaner series !! My favorite episode The Shaman!! Superb actors every episode!! ❤🎉Try it!! 😊 thank you for sharing the snippet on Ricky and Karl hilariously fun!!

[@0saintclark0]

I'd very much enjoy seeing more/longer content from yourself. Not only do you consistently have a captivating point of view on serious topics but your smile and laugh on videos like these are utterly infectious too.

Rick bursting out laughing is so contagious!

[@philproffitt8363]

For Ricky's best ever laugh...find the clip of him on the Ellen show guessing the hidden object. His laugh on the reveal is the cure for universal sadness 😁

Karl is 100% himself with all his English ways. Ricky really loves him, but his greatest joy in life seems to be winding him up. And Karl never fails to crack him up.

I call this classic British-style humor.

He wasn't crossdressed, but it was good British humor

[@richardwilliams5387]

If it was an act it would be up there with Andy Kaufman and Tony Clifton. It's one of the most well known things Ricky and Steve did together and people have been asking for more for years but Karl has always turned it down, which would be odd if it was an act.

[@earthwormandruw]

I had always loved how in tune Andy and Tony were and especially to stay in character so long.

[@DigitalNomad.1]

Do more The Ricky Gervais Show i've watched and listened to it so many times i need a new way to consume it!

[@ratelofverdun]

Recommended my favourite band, The Smashing Pumpkins. They were my first ever gig when I was 13 and have loved them for 20 years! Today is a song that means so much to me, and that album, Siamese Dream is utter perfection. Listen to Mayonnaise from them if you want all the feels, and my favourite song, Thirty-Three from their Melan Collie and the Infinite Sadness album (Melancholy is intentionally spelled that way btw) l. It is quite a forlorn song but it's beautiful and the music video is amazing.

[@CaddyJim]

I thought *Karl* was an act when I first started watching the show about their podcast *The Ricky Gervais Show* (I'm glad to hear you've seen it) Love to see your Big Beautiful Smile because many of the vids you watch aren't funny but educational

[@louhill5448]

Enjoyed both versions of Wolf Like Me, reminded me slightly of The Fall. There's a one-off show Karl did that's about half an hour long, called Satisfied Fool. He takes a Mensa I.Q. test, then meets with writers and scientists to explore the correlation between happiness, or unhappiness, and intelligence.

[@NoProtocol]

So glad you listened to them both!

[@Veggamattic]

Nobody could actually act like Karl. No one has that kind of talent.

[@obiwanbenobi4943]

Karl is the perfect conversational companion for someone who likes to explore concepts and humor. foil /foil/ noun Metal that has been formed into a thin, flexible sheet. "aluminum foil." A thin layer of polished metal placed under a displayed gem to lend it brilliance. One that stands in contrast to and emphasizes the distinctive characteristics of another.

[@tornoutlaw]

One of the funniest things I have ever seen is from Ricky's show "Life's too short". It's a bit where actor Warwick Davis, you know him from Season 2 of "An idiot abroad", brainstorms with his assistant about finding other sources of income. Also, if you haven't seen anything from that show, look for the scene with Liam Neeson.

[@markcutting6504]

Season 3

[@leslieg9406]

Their dynamics make for funny dialog. Karl was wonderful in An Idiot Abroad TV show. If you haven't seen it, check it out.

This guy and Jordan Schlansky from Conan are the two dude where i simply CANNOT TELL if it is THEM or a persona or a blend of the two.

[@vredeling]

@@markcutting6504 He did writing/producing for Ricky Gervais. You think everything he did on multiple series and radio stuff is improv or being a loose cannon and documenting it? Sure, it's Karl being his funniest, but still it is a caricature. He isn't an idiot.

There is a series of five or six videos (audio only) here on KZbin that are compilations of Stephen and Karl insulting each other from the radio show. Some of it never gets old.

[@antivanti]

I think the funniest thing involving Karl is the second time he goes to China and Warwick Davis is with him. When he tries to show Warwick how awful some of the things there are and he keeps finding out that things were worse before, meanwhile Warwick is having a real hard time with the boiled sheep's head and bugs. And I'm like "Aw Karl... you've become a world traveler without even knowing!"

Is the radio show you listen to is it the same thing as the animated show about their podcast called *(The Ricky Gervais Show)*

[@danmayberry1185]

Done him up like a kipper .. should be taught on every international flight to the UK, so locals are overwhelmed by tourists using the expression.

[@jontastic]

If Karl is acting, he is the best actor. He sometimes tries to be humorous, but in this video, he is not trying. A kipper is a whole herring, a small, oily fish, that has been split in a butterfly fashion from tail to head along the dorsal ridge, gutted, salted or pickled, and cold-smoked over smouldering wood chips (typically oak).
