Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant and Karl Pilkington: An Idiot Abroad 2 interview

[@TheMindloverJoJo]

I love it how Ricky is about to laugh before Karl even says anything lol

[@2DReanimation]

It's like that Pavlov bloke whacking them dogs on the head.

[@Erik3E]

he already knows what he will say xD

[@djminos2759]

Shit interviewer...

[@TheCamorra2011]

From 9 mins 52 when Ricky and Steve start riffing and role playing.......THAT is what I miss from the old XFM shows. The way they bounce off each other is fucking genius.

[@Puckzor]

I miss the role playing stuff too, absolutely hilarious.

[@ValkyrieDaisy95]

+Daniel P I think they still role play on the newer shows, but only when Karl comes out with a silly story and Ricky and Steve don't believe a word of it, so they just like teasing Karl and challenging his brain, just by role-playing and taking the piss out of him XD But they did work off each other really well on the old shows XD I actually love Steve's reaction when Ricky was asking about profiteroles and Steve chokes on his drink and goes "Thanks for asking, mate." x'D

[@TheCamorra2011]

+Daisy Chambers haha you're everywhere, any XFM show, podcast or random thing to do with the boys I see you all over the comments. Good work, keep it up! I miss the insight into their lives week by week, like the whole pub quiz stuff, and when Ricky opened the door to Karl with his tackle out dressed like something out of the Sopranos (best tv show ever btw). Shame they all went their separate ways.

[@ValkyrieDaisy95]

If I had a pound for every time I heard that .. I'd keep it xD I know.. a lot of people have said this to me.. I get it a lot, and usually my answer to that is that I'm a big fan of them. I listen to them when I paint and draw, they're like comfort, listening to their voices. They cheer me up too XD Oh I know... I miss them.. even though they talked bollocks... it was good radio! Radio isn't very good nowadays, but XFM was just quality radio.. despite being called a "Tin Pot radio station" XD

[@Puckzor]

I've been listening to the radio shows and podcasts for around 5 or so years, and they never fail to make me laugh! Absolutely love the dudes.

[@nathanmitchell295]

I wish interviewers and other people didn’t try and get in on the joke and just left it to Karl & Steve...

[@biigsmokee]

Yeah probably the worst interviewer ever, why would you bring up insults between people and say "what are some phrases you would use to insult Ricky" what the fuck lmao

[@MikeSandersonVideos]

And Ricky, no?

Sure, but it did spawn a great bit at the end. I suppose it is a fine line.

Look at how Karl is looking at Stephen starting at 4:59.

[@aBitChopsyOfLate]

LOL

[@rigney777]

Hahaha awesome. He does it again 20 seconds later hahah

"I don't know you" "answer the question" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@rwhirsch]

the last part was great because it gives insight into how they wrote the office together.

[@ineffablemars]

Karl is the king of keeping a straight face.

[@kirby118]

I see you on every video related to these guys

[@Hjaelteomslag]

Whoa!! A pretty female stalker? I should shave my head and become an idiot.

[@ineffablemars]

Rikard Lindblom I'm not a stalker and I'm not pretty.

[@Hjaelteomslag]

And I was not being serious, of course. But it really is'nt up to you to decide if you're pretty or not.

[@kirby118]

Rikard Lindblom I think its more up to whoever is looking

[@AHPMB]

I love how Ricky and Steve have managed to hijack every single interview anyone's ever done with them.

[@XxKINGatLIFExX]

Everyone... Listen up. I've just had an epiphany!!!! These three... These three have to be the new three presenters for Top Gear! THIS IS IT!

[@elgerardoedwardio2498]

+XxKINGatLIFExX That would be massively entertaining with those three as hosts. It'd be the first TV show I would actually give a shit about in the last 5 years.

[@XxKINGatLIFExX]

Well.. it's too late now. We've got those other phagocytes on now. Chris Evans and what not,

[@Sheriff_GrimLaw]

+XxKINGatLIFExX Plus some actor from the most overrated, garish, camp, catchphrase-based shitcom that is Friends. Awesome. x

[@antonposa5345]

+XxKINGatLIFExX I might actually watch the show if this was the case. Great idea!

[@theprodigalson4003]

That is amazing!

[@Richard-vp1po]

Karl's face from 10:03 just listening to Ricky and Stephen is hilarious

[@hjallewrango1528]

Its like double entertainment. You can re watch it and just stare at Karl.

[@FutureAbe]

Doin’ me head in

[@satiricarl]

Its great how often Karl smiles as Ricky retells these stories. Love it. An the awkward eye contact is Karl re-noticing how weird Steve looks haha

[@PSRetro_]

Funny how they said that Karl's role in the Office would have been someone who fixes stuff, and that was his role in Derek, haha.

[@gasparagusproductions3563]

Well there was a little bald computer mechanic in season 1.

[@LifeOfRy]

3:28 it’s actually SO brazen how merciless this interviewer is in listing the insults and even garnishing one with “that’s _well_ known” 😂?!

[@wra7h]

Karl is probably the best looking one

[@ineffablemars]

Agreed. Karl is sexy, the only thing remotely unattractive is that he is bald but so what????

[@philippdase3626]

My Art Page bald is the new mullet. He a stud

[@DlcEnergy]

10:15 funniest side discussion to end the clip with. and Karl's face all the way through it xD "ya thinking perfetta rolls, or ya thinking like a trifle or what?" sips drink... "thanks for asking mate" xD

[@BojanTomicMusicChannel]

I've watched this interview a few times, but it's only this time I noticed Karl's staring at Steve @4:57 - 5:04. THAT FACE! No one will ever be as funny as Karl, he's so unique it's ridiculous!

[@Darren_Kelly]

I’ve just watched this video. I came to the comments section to write a comment about Karl’s face at 4:57 .. turns out I’ve already written that comment.. 7 years ago! WTF! Beat myself to it.

I really hope the interviewer played that last bit at his wedding. I imagine the attendees were falling out of their chairs laughing!

[@Addified]

I agree, even the part with Karl saying weddings are shit and there’s no reason to get married anymore. This would be absolute gold to play at a wedding.

[@YokoMitch]

i love interviews with the three lads, you'll notice in almsot all their interviews they always end up just talking between each other, the interviewer's always find it hard to get a word in lol,

[@paparoach007]

Right at the end were Ricky and Steve are talking about food for a wedding and Karl's sat there inbetween just waiting for the conversation to change made me laugh. I hope they make a 3rd series anyone else agree? :)

[@callummcintyre95]

I love how Ricky is just smiling a bit while Karl is talking, like he is waiting for some stupid reply. And Karl is awesome, by the way.

[@FRM101]

The funniest part of interviewing this trio is how rapidly the interviewer ceases to exist. You only need one question to open things up, they'll do the rest.

[@gillywibble]

In The Office, Karl would have been Keith's perfectly round Scotch Egg.

Can we please just have a show with the 3 of them talking. Not the audiobooks or the Ricky Gervais Show because you can't see Karl's face like it was at the end of this video. That's just priceless.

[@GooglyEyedJoe]

It's funny them talking about Karl being in a janitor style job this idea must have spawned Ricky Gervais idea for Karl in Derek.

[@DownieFluff]

When they mention the Weird Crush and that Karl won, he has a little smile to himself.

[@ScMc17]

love how karls face looked shocked every time he sees stephen merchant, even after 12 years of knowing him. 05:14 for example

[@VacantHaven]

Yeah, slightly Diva move that!!

[@JoseEncarnacao]

Massive LOL!!!! The best interview I've ever seen with these 3 in it. And my opinion why the guys asked them a reason not to go to his wedding is a character-profiling question that reveals a lot of deep-embedded traces of education and culture in the ones answering personalities.

[@joemason731]

4:55 when karl starts staring at steve is hilarious 😂😂😂

The guy made an entertaining bit of tv he knows they’ll use that wedding thing as ammo for a joke. What you think this guy asked RICKY GERVAIS to say something nice because he thought it’d be a good wedding gift? Certainly would be better than if he didn’t ask that.

Some of these interviews are better than the actual show itself!! The poor bloke had to completely amend the menu at his wedding by the time the three stooges were finished.

I got the impression that Karl is an unusually mild-mannered bloke who isn't easily offended. He might not like every bit of it, but he's friends with Ricky, so he puts up with his ideas and jokes. I loved his expression at the end of this video, it's like "what the f* are these two talking about?" Makes it even funnier.
