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

[@calumspeight8930]

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

[@loulabelle5082]

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

[@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

[@jaybreacher4430]

@@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

[@purehevol]

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

[@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.

[@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.

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

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

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

[@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."

[@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!!!

[@Twitch0n3]

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

[@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."

[@ianfowlef6423]

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

[@darylp2280]

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

[@vizp90]

Great audio, well done

[@l_lsta]

Im such a Karl glazer fr, he’s a gift and genuinely nice bloke💯💯I’m so glad these 3 crossed paths, whenever I’m down I know it calls for an idiot abroad, the office, the RSK podcasts, just not Ricky’s recent standups😮 the podcasts were recorded 20 years ago but are so ahead of their time, absolute gold. Karl.is.the.GOAT.

[@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

[@spaceenablers4753]

8:16 who knew bread could be so funny lol

[@TheNoobishGamer]

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

[@solyentbrak1]

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

[@youmayrememberme]

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

[@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.

[@l_lsta]

Still a fan till this day??

[@corbuzchristi365]

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

[@Lamedvavnik]

Great interview but the sound quality is awful

[@chocod1352]

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

[@MrTibbs-oj8ud]

Would've been great to have heard anything.

[@alfie1217]

The part about the smilie face biscuits 😂

[@DowzerWTP72]

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

[@cheekybum6136]

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

[@no1raniuk854]

Play a record.

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

[@StonyRC]

Karl Pilkington - Top Man ... we should all be proud of this National Hero.

[@SuperPercy1990]

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

[@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!

damn it... can't be unseen

[@karlpillay8360]

Thanks everyone

[@baTonkaTruck]

Ricky was right, Karl is beloved around the world. He’s so screamingly funny.

[@scattjax3908]

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

[@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? 😂

[@TheCelebFactory]

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

[@davewalker9899]

Wow need to clean the audio u

[@theodorebouchet321]

I realize now that Ricky is completely and endlessly fascinated by Karl...

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

[@jesuschristcunt8469]

Ok

[@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.

[@bamfyfe]

It´s the year 2016 Karl, become your own boss. Go buy urself a Vlogging camera and kick casey off his throne :D

[@FocusReborn44]

That's a great idea. He should do DIY vids as well.

[@bamfyfe]

FocusReborn Dont really care what he does, he can keep making his sausages in a toaster or even keep on tiling :D as long as he films it i would be happy

[@JHA854]

bamfyfe he’s got a new show coming out!

[@bamfyfe]

yeah and it´s crazy well produced xD but the same old topics. ilove it xD@@JHA854

[@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.

[@colinwhytock4264]

What's with the sound???

[@S7EVE_P]

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

[@lorithomas4868]

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

[@AutomaticDuck300]

Karl says that he doesn't like surprises and prefers to plan stuff but in the past, he's said that he doesn't like planning stuff.

[@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.

[@diormiss8]

what's wrong with the audio

[@Janjanbobaney]

Ouch! I wish we could hear them better. 🙈

[@snabelsnas]

listen to this with headphones, have they put the sound through a syntheziser or what?

[@GhostofRhurValley]

Its like the interviewer was on my left ear and ricky karl and steve are to my left ear and they were half cyborg.
