RICKY Gervais & KARL Pilkington - BBC Breakfast - REACTION!

[@SavageIntent]

"I wouldn't mind" is classic British understatement, and it means "I would quite like to". My favourite example of British understatement is when one of Nelson's generals had his leg blown off by a cannon, and he said "By God sir, my legs come off" and Admiral Nelson replied "By God sir, so it has".

[@nicksykes4575]

Nelson was an Admiral, he didn't have Generals serving under him. The guy who lost his leg was Lord Uxbridge at the battle of Waterloo, and the exchange was between Uxbridge and the Duke of Wellington, aka Arthur Wellesley.

Ricky’s being really nice about Karl in this interview. He’s making a point that he’s not an idiot and is very friendly. - We’re all idiots with our best mates because we know it’s a laugh. - I know you know that. But it still triggers me when people think Ricky is bullying. Christ, if you knew half the stuff me and our mates done as kids. We’re old gits now but we still try some funny stuff when we’re left alone

With people here in the UK when we say "I wouldn't mind" doing something its more of a thrown word, we kinda use it as an attached word, we don't actually mean "well if i have to then i will" lol

[@Accountforstuff]

Yeah, I think I'd say "I wouldn't mind trying x" meaning if I have to go out of my way or put effort in to arrange it happening it probably won't happen, but if someone else did the organising and effort part for me and I just had to be available I'd give it a try 😆

[@P.Z.E.R.O]

I wouldn’t mind = I wouldn’t have a problem

[@StuartBaillie-q2d]

@@jgreen2015 Exactly that. It's British understatement, Americans tend to do the opposite and overstate things, nothing wrong with that either.

[@jgreen2015]

@StuartBaillie-q2d a trait expressed even in the cadence snd tone jn which we speak. Eg the sentence "I am sorry that I was late but I was caught in traffic" The key words are "sorry, late, caught, traffic". A brit emphasised these key words but understating the others. "Sorry 'm late 'z Caught 'n traffic". We don't even bother with the "I am" at the beginning and the other conjoining words become so understated as to become mere sounds. Where Americans emphasise key words by exaggerating them "I am SOORRYYY that I was LAA-AATE, but I was -CAAUU-AAUUGHT in TRAAAAAFIC" 😂 It's really fucking mind blowing when you realise that we as brits dont really say the joining words but mumble past them. Until it's spelled out you kinda subconsciously assume all the words are there. But they're not!

[@mickyfinn1948]

Karl never tries to be funny, he just is! 😂

[@slimpixie2404]

Haha! Yes, he's a light that occasionally flickers VERY brightly when it's not almost out. Breakfast news typically show the time somewhere so you're not late for work I guess, hence the 09:07 ⏰

[@Yogananda-o8i]

Fun to watch, especially Ricky speaking of KP's 'genius, in many ways'. On the interviewer saying, 'wouldn't mind' about going to Wales (she is Welsh too), she was using that British understatement that doesn't gush, and is said like it's a a restrained in-joke. If Mandy were to move to Britain, in just months she'll also be saying to someone 'wouldn't mind', and 'well, not exactly what I would have chosen,' or or 'not very pleasant' to describe a horrible experience or sight, ' a bit of a nuisance' for a serious illness 'not bad' for some breath-taking sight or successful event, or reflecting that 'Antarctica is rather cold.' All that British understatement is not usually taught; it's just wired in naturally! Lots of it is heard in Karl, Ricky and Steve's comments too.

Sounds funny 🤣

[@Chinaboatman]

British breakfast TV tradtionally has the time of day in the corner of the screen because they know a lot of people will just have thrown the TV on for something to look at and listen to while they're getting ready for work. This way the can watch and keep an eye on the time so they're not late. Maybe a little obsolete in the age of the internet and mobile phones but a nice, useful tradition.

[@arsenewenger49]

That’s not a jump, that’s a fall 😂😂

[@MandyCaneLane]

100% 🤣

[@tasteluss]

I'm a simple man - I see Mandy, I click (and when I see Karl I click even faster) Also if you want more Karl to watch then he plays a more serious role in a series called "The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe" - it's about a man who fakes his own death to get the insurance money with his wife. It's based on true events and it's one of my favourite recent dramas. Karl's acting in this is genuinely fantastic (although he wasn't in it much), and he's very believable as a detective. If you want a good drama to watch then this is a good one :)

[@Nietzsche_K_Gote]

i love how you are so far along the karl rabbithole. Keep at it.

[@N-o-t-o-r-i-o-u-s_-P-i-G]

They asked Karl if he'd like to have the shoe on the other foot and send Ricky to places he doesn't like.. Tbh, i would love to see that. I've NEVER seen Ricky out of his comfort zone, so it'd be interesting to see how he'd react if he's taken out of it. It would also be interesting to see how Karl would exact his revenge😆🤷‍♂......

[@The-Underbaker]

I would love Karl to be able to send Ricky and Steve to places of his choice. Unfortunately they're both minted and don't need the cash so they'd never do it, but it would be glorious.

[@vaudevillian7]

Love that Karl finally got to meet the Papua People

[@EnglishRalph]

I meant to tell you the other day… In the latest show, Bob and Paul are fishing on a beach with the sea washing over their feet and down goes Bob flat on his back, screams like a girl then falls again on his way back up! What reminded me is he says his dream is to watch ALL the television EVER!

"Wouldn't mind..." is an English peson saying "I'd love to..."

[@MandyCaneLane]

Doesn't add up in my book 🤣

[@hughtube5154]

I'm guessing Karl's delayed happiness is due to editing out the bad stuff, in particular the pressures of being somewhere unfamiliar, where you don't fit in. Or maybe he finds it easier to be happy at home, which then imbues happiness onto his memories. Or maybe he suffers anxiety in the moment that overrides the happiness, but when the anxiety fades he's left with the happy memory?

[@AnthonyJohnson-ExzymtOne]

Of all the places to go in the world, “He would prefer a caravan holiday in Wales.” Lol… Karl is truly an enigma. He’s scared to bungee jump, but will climb on the wing of a flying plane that did a loop-de-loop. I’ll tell ya right now, no way in hell I’d bungee jump, but climbing up on the wing while the plane is in flight - that’s next level… “Thank you ma’am…” Haha. Fun vid as always 😊 I may have to go back and watch the Idiot Abroad series. It’s been a while. Throw it on while I’m cooking things up tomorrow.

[@jasongates-]

"BBC Breakfast." ..... ba dum tssss........... 9:07 was the time at that moment. When Karl dislikes the moment in the moment, but likes the moment looking back on it ... when you (and possibly some in the comments) were wondering if he was "on the scale," I wonder if (scale or not) ... if he gets his thought process going in a way that might look like it's on the scale. Because after that answer in this one (when he looks back on the moment, and then not even liking being on set, here), I get the sense that he processes things in a certain way, like maybe he decompartmentalizes the moments. It's like the wheels in his brain is going while in the moment, trying to figure things out, and he tries guessing what's next. But then when it's over and he can look back on it, the moment is able to sink in, and he can think about it, now that it's over. That's the sense I get in Karl's thought process. It's like he isn't in the moment until the moment is over. Whereas you and I would be in the moment during the moment. And also, whenever he is away from home, at all, it could be grocery shopping, for him to not even like being on set, it's like "home" is his only comfort zone. After seeing this and hearing that answer and that explanation, that's the sense I get from Karl. I get what the lady was saying with the "I wouldn't mind" thing. It's not that she would be looking to do it, but if she got the chance to do it, she would do it / be fine with doing it. Sometimes I feel that way.

Unfortunately, you actually have an intellect. Karl does not. The brain he has only works one way, that’s why he is unintentionally hilarious. You, however, have a mind that can work forward and backwards. Side to side as well. It’s unfortunate that you have fallen into the KP cult. Oh, well, it will be entertaining, at the very least.🌿🌸
