The Complete Karl Pilkington on Technology (A compilation with Ricky Gervais & Steve Merchant)

[@mr.c1913]

22:09 "We're removing the self and putting in chip. You are now computer boy." Honestly one of Ricky's best lines.

[@dargis49]

Karl is straight up describing Augmented Reality Headsets that we have now.

[@PaddyRoon7]

Karl - "and you can't argue with that." Rick - "Well you can."

[@hotdog7988]

The space helmet was modelled on Karls head.

[@allafleche]

35:25 Karl predicted augmented reality. Let that sink in Ricky.

[@so56.dfjkhds]

I am on Karl's side with the chip in the head thing, he was making some really valid points and was put down for the way he tried to get them across.

[@HerohammerStudios]

Doesn't that pretty much sum up 60% of what Karl says?

[@ashaw1016]

Yeah he has plenty of good points, he just struggles to explain what he means. So many of the arguments he makes I'd love to be in his corner fighting his case.

[@johnnyvee244]

He actually makes sense quite a bit but since he struggles to articulate his points, they shred him😉

[@janicemcateer9547]

There was a TV drama in 2019 called Years and Years where you could have a chip implanted in your brain and you didn't need a mobile phone or computer anymore

[@carlosandleon]

you'd still have a brain to chip interface though.

[@logann7942]

“Yknow that bad wind in America…” “Hurricane Katrina?” “Yeah.” 😂😂😂

[@leesway]

How did Karl invent VR and create Black Mirror? That boy...I want to watch his travel show again

[@seminoleboy96]

I don’t think it’s count as VR moreso AR. Augmented reality.

[@MLennholm]

LOL "invent VR". What Karl is describing is augmented reality, not virtual reality and the concepts of AR and VR have both been around for decades.

[@tw0ey3dm4n]

XR

[@callumkohekade5396]

The "why" in the computer search always makes me cry laughing.

[@madden12]

Its y not why i think

[@nerothebeast3617]

"Dolphins swimming around with rifles & berets"... :D

[@madliarcharlie9695]

He was right about the dolphins, they had dart guns strapped to them.

[@a.jwickerman8106]

Yak you're a godsend!

[@logann7942]

Karl’s point is that no one will retain any information if we have chips in our heads. I don’t think Ricky and Steve are understanding it.

[@burnsloads]

Karl's 'idiot abroad' is the best thing ever. When he was at Petra, he had a choice between sleeping in Petra or sleeping outside. He chose outside for the view. Karl is a man that has actually found true happiness. He is a true cynic. He is the only cynic.

[@Ethan-rl8bf]

He’s ahead of everyone no doubt

[@AA-hg5fk]

Ricky is wrong that cars were invented in the 20th century, cars with internal combustion engines were produced before 1900. On a somewhat related note, the telephone was also invented before 1900

[@carlyrussell7297]

You are “eccentric” if you are rich and you’re “crazy” if you’re poor

[@warshipsatin8764]

theres a difference between walking around in nothing but a powdered wig in your own home and doing it in public on a busy sidewalk

[@nothingmuch875]

Karl's ideas are on a higher level than the other two are capable of understanding. The problem is he doesn't express things clearly and the others interrupt him and laugh at him. But Karl is massively more intelligent.

[@djbigfella1977]

"with rifles n that" hilarious

[@michaelgower2370]

Do we need em?

[@lifeisoverated81]

"I never feel lost... I just think, oh, I've had a diversion." Karl Pilkington I've never heard someone say, "just think about it," more from someone who obviously never really does.

[@ebXXY]

Why.... outstanding question 🤣

[@erizzle67]

This is a load of boswellox.

[@timreagan777]

That sounded very British

[@madden12]

Bosswell incindent

[@tw0ey3dm4n]

Augmented Reality well done

[@gaylemoore610]

Did Karl predict VR headsets

[@CertifiedSlamboy]

No, he's talking about AR.

[@Ryno2094]

jack No, he's talking about MR

[@Mrmightyturtle]

No, he's talking about ER.

[@twiggti3331]

No he’s talking about DR

[@lackedpuppet9022]

No, he's talking about SR.

[@HerohammerStudios]

Now I really wanna know what those Educating Ricky topics were at the beginning

[@PaddyRoon7]

I love that he heard dolphins were used in the military and immediately assumed they'd be actual soldiers swimming about with guns strapped to themselves 😂

[@NEVERSAYSLEEPSTUDIOS]

Another sleep aid book marked :)

[@connorclark4630]

The glasses thing is basically vr

[@K4R007]

He was talking about augmented reality (like google glass) not virtual reality.

[@williamsmith666]

I think Karl might have confused the "car wash for dogs" with the Three Stooges film "Mutts to You"...

[@beebles3]

I also would like to know when Karl's mum gave up her dream of being a doctor? Mind truly boswellocksed

[@Lindeman08]

I don't know much about AV-editing but is it hard the get the sound volume on a constant level?

[@WeTokeWeedSmoke]

Every Karl channel and every video seem to have that problem. I also know nearly nothing of editing but you'd think there would be a way to sort it out. Weird innit

[@AA-hg5fk]

Same, makes listening with headphones annoying

[@saintpepsi8602]

@@WeTokeWeedSmoke it's very difficult due to the original recordings especially xfm ones Karl's microphone was always lower then Ricky and Steve's so in order to make it consistent you'd have to isolate just Karl's voice and level that individually on every single clip would take an incredibly long time 👍

[@bigstinger7380]

They use to say a apple a day keeps the doctor away ...they use to say lol

[@SupaDr00g]

7 years on, still making trousers, sorry Karl.

[@jonyjohn947]

who is karl?a comedian?

[@ramonecricket5183]

38:28 for Scrimpton!

[@randomnpc3531]

35:00 did Karl just predict vr

[@Tomversal]

It's more like AR, Augmented Reality, than VR

[@MLennholm]

Predict something that has been around for decades?

[@MrIanpeanut]

Every time I hear Carl ask what happened in 1900 that caused someone to say everything that we need has been invented frustrated the hell out of me, because Rickey then goes on to say think what’s invented in the 20th century... that wasn’t his point.

[@garethbrown3257]

Sooo glad someone else picked up on this. It frustrated me too. Wow, I feel normal now. Lol

[@ValValiantThor216]

53:38 😂😂HILDA!!

[@kalibos]

"box of money" lol

[@DowzerWTP72]

I'd love to hear a version of these where when they talk about some bollocks Karl has 'researched', they don't pick him up on it, and ask him questions as if they too believe in it. I'm mainly talking about the one about the dolphins loaded with guns!!!!

[@AlisaMarie]

I’m never gonna use my ed 😂

[@MiLSyeah]

Is there any way to get rid of Ricky and the other one and just listen to carl?

I have heard about the "why" before but never heard the real thing. Im swedish but I bet my english are better than Karls

[@nicklashansen355]

The "why" was to confuse Google or something.......

[@timreagan777]

No... It's pretty bad, actually... Karl is better with the English language than you... Not only did you miss the point he was conveying, but your grammar is terrible.

[@nicklashansen355]

​@@timreagan777 Haha no its not. And I did not miss anything. He only did that to confuse the computer. If you have heard anything from the podcast you should know that Kalrs grammar is terrible
