[@1ranjeeves21]

was this recorded underwater?

[@EsmagaSapos]

I got fucking scared, jesus fucking christ. In the middle of fucking class, first video I clip and this fucking sound made it look like I was without headphones.

[@cheekybum6136]

It’s not the original release

@@EsmagaSapos say fucking 1 more time

[@Dmog97]

Yeah ! And have you got a problem with that ?! Karl wanted too be in his natural habitat where the pressure goes fucking mental on you’re head

[@JoeZUGOOLA]

Close enough, it was filmed in London which is just a large sewer

Best bit haha

[@calumspeight8930]

That thing about the smiley face biscuits was one of his best moments

[@purehevol]

Karl is my inner monologue..... Things I don't say out loud

[@bensmith5218]

Aaron Viktil why domt you say it out loud ?

[@XDDLuke]

His big dick says it for him

[@Fyrecide]

Jesus, you’re a mong then aren’t ya?

[@yourmum69_420]

grow some balls

[@adamj6645]

I hope they do a series where Ricky and Steve travel with him. It would be so funny together.

[@bensmith5218]

Adam Johnson wouldn't work

[@ih82r8]

I think they'd get themselves thrown out of every country

[@xjimmy225x]

But every hotel they go to Steve and Ricky get beautiful rooms and they tell Karl he got the last room and it turns out to be in the basement next to the boiler

[@Crunch_Buttsteak]

I WISH FOR THAT

[@Squats200]

It wouldnt work.

[@loulabelle5082]

I love the way the Ricky always looks at Karl, like he's an interesting and unique little insect.

[@alienredwolf]

Was the audio recorded with a stem of fucking broccoli?

[@jackfrost3475]

+ALIEN REd WOLf glad you said this.thought it was my bloody ears XD

[@sst710]

+ALIEN REd WOLf I think they dropped the mic in a fish tank and didn't realize it.

[@caltha2720]

Possibly the recording and then half arsed editing

[@loulabelle5082]

ALIEN REd WOLf It wasn't broccoli, it was cauliflower.

[@PoissonVisageStudios]

This is what it sounds like when there's loads of noise and you remove it in post, but remove too much that it makes everything sound like it's in a fishbowl, so it would either be this or loads of noise.

[@kyeiskinky]

Audio quality is so poor. Wouldn't be watching it if it wasn't for those three hahaaa

[@Weeble68]

If it wasn't for those three it'd be a video of an empty sofa for 10 minutes!

[@RealBrainbug]

@@Weeble68 but probably with better sound

[@bernardw5154]

I mean without those three it would just be an interviewer talking to a sofa.

[@kyeiskinky]

@@bernardw5154 only 5 years later than the other guy with that joke pal

[@DarlyFofa]

"Let's see the turtle" "They are talking about you." hahahahahaha

looks like Ricky and Steve are holding hands behind the couch :D

[@wendywoo6722]

I'm dead 😂😂😂

[@ValkyrieDaisy95]

0:39 - what makes Karl even funnier, is Ricky's reaction to the stuff he comes out with XD 7:57 especially XD He's just like "He's mental."

[@Twitch0n3]

The Karl Pilkington Truman show.. that sounds terrific.. lmao.

[@spaceenablers4753]

8:16 who knew bread could be so funny lol

[@corygalster3721]

Karl, Ricky, and Steve are my new heroes of Comedy!!! I LOVE these three and I watch at least one or two of Karl's Diary every day...also caught Stephen Merchant's stand up routine: HELLO LADIES" and I laughed so hard my family almost pulled a Chapter 51 me!! You three are absolutely fantastic and thank you for making us laugh!!!

[@TheNoobishGamer]

"Don't you get him a gift" *Dangles bread* LOL

[@DrVonChilla]

LEGENDARY trio, never to be replicated.

[@andy23lion]

Interviewer - "What was the one thing you didn't pack but wished you had?" Karl - "Happy Face biscuits." Interviewer - "Why didn't you pack them?" Karl - "The thought of having a smug smiley face at me when I'm at my lowest points in my life. Have you seen them? They're like Jammie Dodgers but sort of tastier and less crumbly, but they've cut a little happy face in it."

[@markdangerman]

I watched the first season of "big brother" years ago and then got bored with it, if they put karl in a season of "celebrity big brother" I would be glued to the tv for sure.

[@Vandalle.]

They could genuinely put Karl on anything and it would be amazing, I wish he was on TV more

[@galadriel3134]

He is an introvert. He would not do big brother

[@TheCelebFactory]

Really sorry about the noise quality. This isn't the case across the whole channel.

[@darylp2280]

karl says "she hasn't played with it " ricky snickers lol

[@ianfowlef6423]

I first saw Karl thanks to an idiot abroad! And now i am hooked on everything they do

[@vizp90]

Great audio, well done

[@solyentbrak1]

I love when Ricky slaps Karls knee and Ricky laughing at Steves jokes, such great mates!

[@Simonellistitches]

When he asked how its going and she said loads of laughs, Stephen looked so proud and happy for Karl! 🥹

[@chocod1352]

An Idiot Abroad was one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

[@TheJibbyT]

whenever Karl says "jesus" i seriously crack up.

[@youmayrememberme]

I love the little mention of the Victoria Plum at then end

[@alfie1217]

The part about the smilie face biscuits 😂

[@MrTibbs-oj8ud]

Would've been great to have heard anything.

[@morrisal]

I love these guys, btw. Especially Ricky - he's an insane genius.

[@superhamzah85]

Oh man, I just discovered, or rather started clicking the Karl links a few days ago. Since then, I've downloaded and watched every episode of An Idiot Abroad, on my 20th KZbin video or so, and when eyes are needed elsewhere - XFM radio. I am addicted laugh out loud comedy and there's been a severe drought, Karl has been a monsoon of joy for me. Thank You Karl, you shit.

[@nameless591]

Ricky's laugh is perfect.

[@corbuzchristi365]

"Happy face biscuits" didn't even pause when he answered that! 😂😂😂

[@kalshy4566]

Ricky has such guy love for him as do I. So funny😂

[@rahbeat9785]

the look from Ricky at 6:43 had me in stitches xD

[@Lamedvavnik]

Great interview but the sound quality is awful

[@SuperPercy1990]

"Oh Jesus don't you give them a give" One of Karl's best one liners. Lmfao.

[@no1raniuk854]

Play a record.

[@WhiteSleevedStu]

OMG 9:42 when Ricky stops Karl's fingers xD

[@highalchemy]

damn it... can't be unseen

[@DowzerWTP72]

I love how Karl thinks that a HD camera records better than what is seen in real life through our eyes!

[@victoriaparker2705]

Ricky's face when Karl says Happy faced biscuits. Lol.

[@TheCelebFactory]

@jonbond1779 yeah, sorry about that. Something happened when the video was being transcoded. But it was too good not to put up!

[@stephanieboond5082]

Will there ever be an idiot abroad 3 ?? IDE love to watch yet another great series of it.

[@CulsCave]

There is a series 3.

[@kierongymer9415]

I didn't cry Funny as love it 🤣

[@marynystrom9734]

No one has a laugh like Ricky

What I found strange is that at 2:20 he spoke about being a prepared person. But on another interview said that he doesn’t like the hassle of being prepared

[@NinoValleyTv]

great audio

[@buzzardbeatniks]

Well, great! Now I'm just gonna have to go to work without having a shower 'cause I can't stop watching these guys - I'll probably be late too!

[@ca5htronaut]

Funniest man alive. Love Karl Pilkington.

[@montypython4ever]

the thought of having a smug smiling at me, when im at my lowst point in life XD i agree. he is a genius! :P

[@paulflint17]

Karl Pilkinton is my hero

[@send_it_si]

I hope they film Karls wedding speech when he has it, comedy gold.

[@thegirlinquestion]

hhahahhhaha the biscuits "just the idea of seeing that smug smiley face would piss me off" actually crying

[@longlivethemorrow]

Word.

[@OneManArmy578]

My left ear enjoyed this

[@lsplord]

Ricky's face is so fucking funny when Karl says "happy face biscuits".

[@emorby09]

Karl has the exact same personality and even mannerisms and accent as my grandad.

[@CallMeNeoLoL]

Karl's a legend

[@solyentbrak1]

I love when Ricky slaps Karls knee hahaha

[@JonnyMonk3782001]

Doesn't matter, the content is pure gold.

[@ivornappinion9406]

no problem ;]

[@watevatube]

Addictive

[@garyevans3421]

This was a crazy show designed to put Karl in embarrassing and uncomfortable situations. It’s been too many years since I saw it, but I remember at the first destination, before Karl caught on that they were purposely putting him up at horrible places, he asked the producer with him if Ricky and Steve knew how bad the hotel was? 😂

[@liamnevilleviolist1809]

9:38 - I thought those little fingers wont going to stop!

[@maxharrison4332]

this is epic.

"Well....dont *you* give em a gift" lol

how quick was karl with the "jesus dont you getting them the gift"

[@davewalker9899]

Wow need to clean the audio u

[@michaelginger88]

KARL PILKINGTON IS A LEGEND!

[@dominicobrien6306]

I don't think he's smarter than anyone else, but he has a unique thought process which might make people think and learn.

"She hasn't played with it" LMAO Karl is so cool 🙂

[@jesuschristcunt8469]

Ok

ahhahah 1:18 rick and steve holding hands behind the couch

[@reinforcedpenisstem]

Audio compression is god-awful in this clip.

[@scattjax3908]

It's the 1st time I've heard their internal nanobots talk at the same time as them. It's weirdly fascinating.

[@salomon2412]

"let s see the turtle! - They are talking about you" hahah

[@beneightyone161]

oh mannn this guy kills me

[@gotsu7343]

The smiley face on the cookies are going to annoy me haha

[@PROUDCANADIANGIRL]

Ouch! I wish we could hear them better. 🙈

[@JohnnyLCob]

*Whats up with the audio?*

[@lorithomas4868]

the one who looked like he was on a space hopper😂😂

[@TaffyRaphie]

I remember seeing a section of the show but he was saying the opposite of what he is here. He wanted no one to ever have plans or get ready and everyone would be happy.

[@mofinstawk]

Ricky and Stephen are holding hands behind Karl

[@SM-ee8be]

Barely a question can be asked of Karl without instant comedy gold. It's absolutely crazy that's hes being 100% genuine and doesnt see the comedy one bit. Even weirder because he is not an idiot. I know that's his whole gimmick, being stupid, but hes not. Ok he might not be intellectually smart or some much 'book learning' but hes a sensible, genuine down to earth guy and I agree with 99/100 of his opinions. Karl is really the way mosts Brits who arent a social justice warrior or attention seeker truly thinks

[@slinkerdeer]

Pretty much spot on.

[@J.L.Media.]

An Idiot Abroad 4 coming soon! :D

[@BebihhKuzz]

Thats why I overwrite annoying code bars on products with an edding 3000. When I have to look at it at my house all the time, like there is a code bar on every pruduct looking pretty similar to me, I get the feeling all those things are the same, but they're not. Toothpaste, chocolate, even the edding 300o has one on it. Thats why I had to buy two edding 3000 at the time, to be able to overwirte each others code bar.
