[@NonceKillaz]

Not only was he good at magic but his maths was brilliant

[@grease_monkey6078]

we Northerners can't comprehend maths, its wizardry

"Apparently its the same thing that Hitler did" ".........." "Play a record"

[@Thedarkknight2244]

While we know what Karl means, what it sounds like out of context, and how it could open xfm up to slander, is incredible. Karl is hilarious

[@VLAD_P_]

Iitler, he was a bit mental !

[@pearlqueen6254]

karl is a proper genuine funny guy without even trying naturally funny a pure talent

[@Gyrbae]

Faulty tooth. Godlike save.

[@BrandonWillWin]

I want to like this comment, but it’s too perfect 1-faulty-tooth

[@fenhen]

This is my favourite Karl moment ever.

[@freem8son86]

Karl is actually pretty sharp

[@youdontseeanoldmanhavinatw4904]

Lmao

[@theohyeahkid8500]

No, he isn’t

[@iTzDr0p]

@@theohyeahkid8500 he's as smart as a broken pencil

[@jimmy2k4o]

@@theohyeahkid8500 well he thinks of things and see angles the rest of us don’t see. Most of the time he’s wrong or stupid, but occasionally he’s pretty profound and quick witted. I think it was just a bad education he had…… I bet his IQ is average or above average. But his knowledge retention is poor. More importantly he has a good heart and doesn’t appear to have any hatred in him for anybody. He’s a decent gentleman, watch an idiot abroad he literally gets on with everyone. Tribe folk in the Amazon/Vanuatu Indian working class folk Indian religious fellas Indian gurus American prospectors/music teachers/Amish Chinese dwarfs Eskimos Canadian snow trekkers Gay Brazilians Egyptian historians Israeli soldiers Palestinian Christians Jordanian camel riders Mexican cowboys Mayans Thai drag queens Celebrity dwarfs Rob Lowe Mongolian/Thai/Mexican wrestlers Pyramid worshipers. Jordanian cave dwellers. Kung fu experts Magnetic Russians African Kings Am I forgetting anybody. I’d love a compilation from an idiot abroad that shows how Karl made people laugh everywhere he went, on every continent. People that wore only leaves, American cuddle junkies, Japanese sushi server, Indian kebab makers etc etc He really is a man of the world despite how “most of the world is grim”

[@heraclitus4884]

He thinks for himself and is very introspective. He just lacks education because it bored him at school so he never bothered. But that's not to be confused with skills like lateral thinking and autonomy of thought, which are (imo) more commendable than memorization and the like.

[@adamschneider9739]

Is that Ricky profusely breathing into the mic?

[@garrybaldy327]

Yep, that's what fat, unfit people do.

[@abdihassan7208]

karl was so witty lmaoooo im crying

[@l4dl4dl4d]

In case any one is wondering, this is from Season 2 Episode 34

[@cartmanofsp]

He can talk and press buttons at the same time! SEND HIM DOWN!

faulty tooth is actually genius lmao

'Well he wont get into my head'

[@SpeedBoost]

Ricky's heavy breathing sounds like Jason Voorhees is sitting with them.

[@some-replies]

I've always found it funny how much he rips on fat people when he's been fat for 20 years

[@CJ_YT_2001]

[@jimmy2k4o]

Not unusual, but Ricky is flat out wrong about opening someone else’s mail. According to the law: Opening someone else’s mail is allowed in certain circumstances under the Postal Services Act 2000. It is only an offence if you open someone else’s mail ‘without reasonable excuse’ or if you ‘intend to act to another’s detriment’. Edit: this protection wouldn’t cover Karl though, I think “because Derren brown guessed Harris” isn’t a reasonable excuse. And Steve reading out the letter on the radio could certainly be argued to be to the detriment of the addressee, violation of privacy…… So it’s not always illegal, but on this case it probably is a crime punishable with up to £5000 fine.

[@sh3tpostsgamertime204]

Sounds illegal

[@Dilkingt0nne]

Loads of people must say ‘42’ cus of the hitchhiker’s guide

[@AA-hg5fk]

I'm fairly sure Karl has not read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the galaxy.

[@robotgorilla-man6193]

Dear mr K dilkington

[@andrewhall7930]

The number 42 has major significance in American baseball it is the only number that is retired by all teams meaning no player can wear that number. The reason for this is because the first black player Jackie Robinson woreumber 42 for the Brooklyn dodgers.

[@eoghanfarrell8924]

Wow spooky

[@rowanmelton7643]

42 is also the answer to the question "What is the meaning of life?"

Isn't it amazing we essentially have that translation tech now

[@VLAD_P_]

He dose look like a fat lesbian so you’re probably right

[@phoneyphone]

Does Ricky owe the beginning of his career to Karl?

[@Lloydb723]

Power of suggstion was right annoyed me they dissed that

[@garrybaldy327]

Weird, innit?

[@juliuscaesar6793]

Clever people like Ricky and Steve will rationalize whatever they see like a man "guessing" the random name and a number another man was thinking. Derren said this is a number extroverts pick and Ricky and Steve simply accept it. Think about what actually happened here, this man "guessed" what Karl was thinking. How is that possible? This isn't a sleight of hand, this isn't an explainable card trick. He "guessed" what Karl was thinking. This isn't normal. Just because Derren calls it a "trick" doesn't mean it is.

[@mundaneman1811]

Errr, yes it is a trick......

[@moominjosh3957]

So you think he can read minds..?

[@Thedarkknight2244]

I'm not sure if your being ironic. But the "trick" is that he probably projected 42 onto Karl. (the power of suggestion, which is how the xfm worker thinks Hitler convinced the masses). He then used showmanship to construct the number grid as if it were random. He most likely had the grid memorised before hand. Then throw in some misdirection, with initially guessing the wrong number, and boom! You got Derren Hitler Brown on your hands.

[@ketgremlin8776]

Watch the video with him and Simon peg it shows pretty well how he projects the answer onto people

[@juliuscaesar6793]

@@ketgremlin8776 I did watch it. His "explanation" is a ruse. Adding "x" into your sentence and having a tape recorder spinning at the back does not mean you will change your pick from a leather jacket to a bmx bike.
