Pro tip: Shakespeare isn't old english, he's early modern english. This is a sentence in old english: Hwæt! We Gardena in geardagum, þeodcyninga, þrym gefrunon, hu ða æþelingas ellen fremedon.

[@yusufthegreat1232]

I "understood" the first five words. The rest is basically gibberish to me, other than the fact that I know "þ" sounds like "th".

[@Glassandcandy]

@@yusufthegreat1232 are you so sure you understood the first five words? Because those translate to “hail! We have heard of the spear-Danes”

[@yusufthegreat1232]

@@Glassandcandy Okay, so I understood the first word... still counts for something right? I thought the other 4 words were "We garden in the garden" smh I understood the first one cos it looks like a British word that basically means the same thing!

Apparently lorry drivers in Manchester in the 1980s drove on the right side of the road.

[@jamesparkerlangston3342]

The CB segment always makes me think of They Might Be Giants' song "Rabid Child". Rabid child stays at home, talks on a CB...Truckers pass calling out their handles to the kid...

"Karl is an artist, he sees the world different than us" - Ricky Gervais.

[@violent_world]

. . yeh, but what's art about that

[@Papanda1995]

Thank you for defending us, my friend! You're a good one! You wouldn't believe how tired I am of being slagged off just for being American. I love learning about other countries and don't appreciate people calling me ignorant/stupid/fat when I said nothing mean to them and they've never even seen/met me. I hate how many of the people on the internet use this ability to connect with other people around the world to simply insult their countries and create bad stereotypes. Such a waste :(

[@thejoechapman1]

"How many candles you burning?!" Ask my houemate every day!

[@Goosemeyer]

Plato, Socrates, Einstein, Pilkington.. Any would be an equally rich experience..

[@billyc2010]

In one of the old XFM shows he said John The Screw was a cabbie, not worked in a DIY shop.

[@billyc2010]

***** I'm not sure, I just know it was in one of the early xfm shows from like 2002

[@LPSoulja3]

It's in season 2 episode 38. Ricky uses the same line of "he either works in a prison or he has sex a lot..." Seems almost scripted, especially as they change John's profession to working in a DIY shop in this one.

[@EpsteinKilla69]

Perhaps he changed profession?

[@MaximilianonMars]

@@LPSoulja3 the conspiracy thickens. Or they forgot they did the gag after years doing the show. Perhaps Karl forgot the right details.

[@borismuller86]

@@bendudley2387a DIY shop wouldn’t fix cars, it would sell things to do DIY with like tools.

[@IsaiahMang]

hahahaha how many candles are you buurning... whaats your twenty... can i jst confirm that your burning 15... hahahha

[@ServeTheBeaver]

I legit LOL'ed when ricky screwed the jingle up hahaha!

[@Haxincorp]

To someone who grow up with the internet the ham radio thing makes perfect sense to me.

[@carpma11]

Seven year old comment and I still can’t stop myself from pointing out that CB and Ham radio are different 😂

[@joostmusic8424]

So you go 'side on bring it in!' And they go 'allright?'

[@Papanda1995]

Why is it a problem if I like TV shows, movies, and music from other countries?

Actually HBO is an American cable network. I'm also British but credit were its due.

[@Drtruman]

The neck brace part just killed me. Loool

[@thesearethesuns]

An "estate" is like what we in the US would call a housing project, correct?

[@youxknowxyouxluvxit]

Steves laugh at 1:39 ahaha! :')

[@katiescarlett1955]

Amazing.....Karl is a sage.

[@StandardGoose]

An estate is what we call our projects. It refers to poorly-designed, densely populated collections of housing for poor people where crime and poverty and social deprivation are rife. I don't know which US city I'd compare Manchester to. It's a former industrial city that went through terrible deprivation in the 70s and 80s but has begun to reinvent itself. It's probably our Chicago.

[@MasterGuero]

9:15 i love when ricky gets fed up hahahahahha

[@iClarkey]

"Side on bring it in" and they'd go: "alright".

[@Yaarrr]

Side on, bring it in! Awrite?

[@peteranthonyjackson]

Yep, in the legal world that's the same: loads of words in modern US English are as was used in bygone times here.

[@shadowsergil]

1:34 That short, stumpy character (in the background) was also used in the KP Plumbing sketch.

[@SuperLordHawHaw]

I hope pilky03 is still available

[@Adnezal]

Actually Tesla did, circa 1930-- feel free to check out his patents for wireless data transfer technology. Either way, I love Karl Pilkington.

[@pare321]

That is one thing. Two at most.

[@faridahmed1376]

whats your twenty, how many candles are you burning? Geniuses!

[@MissyFaye]

he would be a great grandpa for bedtime stories....

[@tiesthijsthejs]

At the last winter olympics, the driver of the Dutch bobsled team cancelled during qualification due to depression and anxiety: he was afraid of gliding the competition course.At that moment they were ranked somewhere between 15th and 5th place.

[@ChronicKane]

COOL RUNNINGS!

[@meritmone]

CUZ HE WAS RIGHT "ARMDED".way to go

[@mynameisjongreen]

by growing up on an estate he means he grew up on a council estate, which is generally where people from working class backgrounds live, but they used to quite have close-knit communities. i don't really know what mississippi is like but manchester isn't exactly the most pleasant place.

[@Adnezal]

lmao. World of Windbags, is what I was thinking.

[@dkb201998]

5:11 XD I died laughing

[@WowDragonsJD]

I probably did mean that - I'm in no way an expert.

[@Teledoor24]

Yes, it's not a separate language. But see, the English language has different subcategories. The two larger ones are British English and American English. British English spells "colour", while, rather, American English spells it "color". There's minor differences, such as that, between the different subcategories of the English language.

[@loyalburke1513]

"eludes" you, genius.

[@lukethegreat101]

the bobsledders look like there from the jetsons

[@MrKDilkington0]

The third guy is the Stig

[@2006MC]

side on bring it in, right, and they go, 'alright'.

[@mynameisjongreen]

that's true, i never said it didn't.

[@6NoHope9]

Yeah the other replies are correct, you can trust their answers, i live near manchester, it's nothing special but loads of people live there and growing up on an estate means just a typical family with average or below average wage (usually).

[@amanda10003]

4.38 omg thats funny xD

[@conorkennedy3304]

side on. bring it in

[@lalakers1984]

Alright?

[@TheStovepipe1]

An "estate" refers to a council estate. Local authority publically-funded housing.

[@notnif1]

And then you'd go... aight? lol

[@MrNoobmove]

what episode is this ?

[@morrisal]

yeah, thanks for focusing on my point. :) (btw, i never said i didnt swear.)

[@wainwright461]

and they go, alright.

[@jakdothtml]

Just in case anyone was wondering, I'm burning 17 candles.

[@nickoakley9205]

Yes tape

[@CherryIce1114]

ha being American I didnt even notice

[@yvonneost12]

but when they say i'm at such and such a place surely they would figure out that your 20 is where u are durrr LOL

[@Sean0068]

one four for a copy!

[@manoneal1724]

I feel like "Jimmy the Hat" might have something to do with the phrase "Jimmy hat".

[@Hilbilly655321]

i think it's sort of like the the projects in america.

[@JhericFury]

They went faster because he was lighter and smaller than the last one. The drive force of a bobsled is gravity, how would that possibly make them faster?! They would be slower, significantly slower. Otherwise all Bobsled teams would be comprised of Jockeys.

[@AnaAcapella]

hahahahahahaha effing fantastic xD

[@violent_world]

if he says he's boxer boy, n that, Tell him !

[@LimeyThunder]

Grippage is the best

[@TopDog69]

Here comes Jimmy three legs. WHY DYOU CALL HIM THAT? He hasn't got three legs.

[@finnsquib]

and growing up on an estate means you're probably streetwise. Can be rough stuff.

[@dajed1193]

The cartoons really top this off

[@yasminezeidan]

How cute is ricky at 5:13? hehe aaawwwwwwwww

[@MultiLiam5]

Tattoo stan looks like duke nuken crossed with karl! lol

[@Slowshyy]

5:10 my fucking sides lmfao

[@5parky01]

Ricky is obviously out of the loop. Not a hard code to break but yet old Rick didn't break it, Karl had to tell him!

[@Teledoor24]

YOU DON'T SAY?!

[@begalthegreat]

same question I asked

[@MIngalls]

listening to karl talk is soo funny but soo fuckin frustrating at the same time haha

[@StandardGoose]

Ah. A scientific rebuttal.

[@novosphere]

@KyrisTV Me too!

[@amanda10003]

4.38 om thats funny xD

[@RyanRyzzo]

Actually... American English is a hell of a lot closer to British English than it is to "Old English". I think you meant Middle English and/or Early Modern English even then AmEn and BrEn are very close. AmEn got a huge influence from immigrants as did BrEn. Modern English is a stew anyway... it is a Romance(Latin&Norman)-Germano(AnglicDanishNorse)-Celtic(Insular and also Gaulish) mishmash. To others: there is really no point arguing who is better. Languages evolve. Feckin deal wif et.

[@REBELLIC1OUS]

@yasminezeidan Love this show, im so glad its on every tuesday lol

Why is the DIY shop a mechanics?!

[@classicdinner]

[@jt5623]

1:33 bob from kp plumbing!

[@JackT13]

Don’t tell the paramedics how to do it’

[@Rmg12]

why is a DIY shop animated as a mechanic's garage?

[@Venoxisguides]

LOL boxer boy

[@CoLeMaWeSoMe]

Ignorance is bliss. Therefore Karl is a Happy guy

[@johmedis]

@ChristopherDone Of course. Just like the little hairy fella that overtook someone on a little tricycle innit

[@Exoamylase]

Tat-oooes

[@conorol95]

Tahoos haha

[@MrKDilkington0]

Ta'oo

[@nickoakley9205]

how can you watch this when famine and tape happen

[@soadsam]

how can you just sit there when war and staples occur?

[@Adnezal]

That is an obvious given, but I think you missed the actual point.

[@TairyGreen89]

Did you get that from Karl?
