"I told them, I'm gonna make a bird appear before your very eyes... and I pulled the tea towel off, and I just had hold of an egg. And I just said, oh, it isn't born yet."
We all know that somewhere there's a VHS tape of that talent show. "and the crowd- oh, what's he going to do?" ...The Great Pilkoni.... I'd pay anything for that tape....I almost vomited when I heard that to the end....2nd to a tart that did like a virgin....glorious.
well done uploader! might be the funniest 10min in history, i absolutely love the K-man anecdotes from his childhood. and the merchant insult was epic, Karl has perfected those to a science. i completely lost it when he went "ouuh what's he gonna do?" xD
Don't forget though as Karl has stated many times, Ricky is a "iron lung" he needs him but he wishes he doesn't. Karl would be a normal un-famous producer working with a few bits of radio equipment and would have lost any future job prospects after the Xfm show ceased, it was because of Ricky and to a lesser extent Steve that he and the shows we love today, such as An Idiot Abroad, Moaning of Life, the podcasts etc were actually made.
Sir .Driken That's true but Ricky isn't going to really going to change or accept that Karl is a huge part of Rickies career, I had a debate with a member who was adament that Ricky would have been as famous as he is now without Karl, yet he forgets the podcast was one of the most downloaded in history, the xfm shows would have been "just another radio show" if Karl wasn't in it and all that led on to An Idiot Abroad, Moaning of Life etc whereas Ricky would be stuck with the Office idea, maybe get a bit from the US Office, some standup etc but Ricky is majority known for An Idiot Abroad as the Office is quite popular but its an acquired taste, whereas An Idiot Abroad is a show everyone can relate to hence why its so famous, in fact I hear more people liking Karl than Ricky so for Ricky to say, what is basically him saying "I created Karl" is a demonstration of Rickies arrogance.
guys. it's the formula of the show. ricky very obviously told karl that the stupidity thing is a good schtick and that he can build a career with it. and karl exaggerates it on purpose. in the end it all worked out. why the fuck else do you think he would take all the insults and public humiliation.
Depends who you ask. Different regions of England make fun of each other (there's a well-known "North-South divide") just like people do in every other country. Ricky makes jokes about Karl's being a Manc and his accent (Northern accents are stronger and seen as more comical compared to the milder Southern ones), just like he takes the piss out of Steve's West Country accent, but it's all good-natured fun. Nothing malicious.
if i had a time travel machine the first thing i would do is go back in time to karls talent show and watch him in a dress dancing and miming to walk like an egyptian.
I disagree soooo much, Steve Merchant isn't classist or sexist. He may joke about it and use it as his material, on several occasions he has criticised Karl's treatment of Suzanne and Ricky was from a working class background so he couldn't be classist, That's just my opinion though.
Listen to more of the old shows is all I can suggest. I'm not one to jump to conclusions and I started out really liking Steve, but the more I heard of him the more he began to rub me the wrong way.
in the uk we have GEORDIES COCKNEYS SCOUSERS MANCS TAFFS JOCKS PADDIES its a regional thing newcastle london manchester liverpool scotland wales ireland not a insult more a term of endearment but theodd people would be offended
A Karl marathon, anyone?
2 weeks in
@@TheOnesAtTheBottom ^same. KP = cure for deppression
He's so innocent haha, can never never get enough of Karl
"I told them, I'm gonna make a bird appear before your very eyes... and I pulled the tea towel off, and I just had hold of an egg. And I just said, oh, it isn't born yet."
The talent show story is maybe the funniest thing I’ve ever heard I almost died when he explains the magic
We all know that somewhere there's a VHS tape of that talent show. "and the crowd- oh, what's he going to do?" ...The Great Pilkoni....

*9:08** to the end is honestly so sweet
i love the auntie norah stories, karl absolutely kills me!! i wouldn't be able to live without him now :)
Someone has commented on these vids saying the see her in they're local shops. I'd love to see a photo of her...
Pilky's Makin Music is amazing.
That egg joke is genius.
Why do they make fun of Karl for wanting to play Stereophonics when they used to play Coldplay and the Darkness every week?
Cos theyre a pair of pricks
okay stfu about the darkness
Exactly phonics are class
Right ropey lil woman.
ah i've been looking for the 'walk like an egyptian' clip everywhere! thanks for uploading :)
oh bless! most welcome & glad to be of service to a fellow fan of the K-man :)
This was recorded back in the early 2000s

That egg trick...LMAO
Rickey just seems so small sometimes. Just hammering Karl for every little thing. Being around him and Merchant man.. Id end up smacking one of them.

GooglyEyed Joe that gives ricky no excuse to treat karl like a piece of shit, insulting him and stuff.

Guessing you guys aren’t British, right?

Karl is a L.E.G.E.N.D fact!!
Wonder if karl will make a comedy tv show on his younger days
"Manc".. short for Mancunian (someone from Manchester, which Karl is) that's all :)
This was in 2001. He's 41 now
Congress Tarts anyone?.
Cheers, danne! LOVE your avatar, btw :)
I love Karl
how old must this recording be if Karl was 29 at the time?
Well he was born in 1972 so 1972 +29 = 2001
"and third prize…..some handcuffs….and a black mamba!".
XD XD XD XD
9:15 XD
3:40, so what Steve is saying is that he would rather take a man to an award ceremony, than a woman. Yeah, definitely not gay there Steve.
Or maybe he wanted to do something nice for a friend? Jeez
+Joy Woffindin ....definitely gay.
Or maybe he'd be more comfortable round a mate. Women do this all the time an I don't hear ppl saying lesbian.
Who cares if he's gay? Why does it matter to you?
what colour are Karls eyes? Dark Green. Light Brown.?
Hazel. Green and brown.
Alexander Brown Orange, like his head.
+Alexander Brown can you not see them?
wow this is old!
Back in the day
+lonewolf/*\ back when shadows were pushing people of their bikes? or parrot's blood was used to treat patients?
+Sam Jasidi nah even further back, when Napolean was poppin baguettes in his pants
She was a right ropey little woman. HAHA!!! What an ending
Janitor? Derek?
this is so funny
does anyone. know which clip Karl talks about bolock man?

The great PILKONI!
I actually can't stand Ricky and Steve... I only listen for Karl
Too right, I do not like ANY of Gervais' or Merchant's projects that do not involve Karl
Everyone what is a "Mank" they keep calling Karl a Mank . Is that a bad term or an insult to call someone in England?
rbeck3200tb40 someone from Manchester
Proudboy Karl
because it is. LOL.
Manchester is a northern city and the north of England stereotypically is (allegedly) home to less cultured people.
Putting gravy on chips doesn't constitute culture.
Well is it a bad thing to be from Manchester ? why do they call him a Manc like its an insult ?
Bimbofication of Karl Pilkington
sort of this man, man-woman thing...woman who's half a man
60 odd. what does it matter lol
manc rhymes with ranc. coincidence?
I still enjoy the podcasts, I've just given up on trying to like Steve as a person.
Yes. I never laugh. There is too much injustice in the world for humour.
