Well it's iffey innit. I'm certain in the original XFM stuff everything he said was proper off the top of his head genuine, but he's definitely playing it up a bit now, he knows what people like and he's said the same things a few times over in newer stuff he's done. I think he was trying his hand at being a bit of a comedian back when he was on XFM though, things like "Hanging round with the pillow man would be a bit of a drag" and "A man with 2 heads got ran over. Why wasn't he looking both ways". Some things he said are just too good not to be planned. Whatever is the case, real or not, it's still given me some of the best laughs, and still does!
@@zbenne05 That doesn’t mean he’s acting. Literally everyone who has any kind of successful podcast acts less “natural” then they do in real life, because it’s meant to be entertainment, so they dial things up a bit. That’s very different than being a completely made up character.
Yeah he might be playing it up a but but also that’s just his sense of humour coming out. He knows what’s funny, and it’s clearly still super natural to him it’s not like he’s a totally different person off camera
He'd have to be a genius level actor, and practice his delivery of every funny thing he says, for EVERY interview he does, plus Ricky/Steve would have to write EVERY line, which isn't even remotely possible lol
That's the truth though these days "Ugh the government is not giving me free money, I'm so opressed this country is shit" "Have you actually ever been to another country such as India or the slums of Rio De Janiero? You've got it easy compared to them" "But I want my benefits!" Karl has a point of what people are like these days!
Joey Lock No, no, no. You're like the dumbfucks supporting Ricky after his 2020 Golden Globes speech, thinking he's championing right-wing politics. Neither he nor Karl are right-wing. People absolutely should be upset at the horrendous state the UK and US are in. Many people are living just above or even below the poverty line, minimum wage is ridiculously low and not keeping up with inflation, and benefits are not as helpful as they need to be. "You don't have it the absolute worst!" isn't a good argument for anything.
I had a hysterical fit watching this. Seriously. I mean, my neighbors had to listen to me have a fit of laughter. And I watched the video several times so they had to put up with me f***ing laughing like mad several times too... lol It´s mental! I LOVE LOVE LOVE these guys.
When I'm having a bad day and feel like it's the end of the world And have money worries , then idiot abroad comes on I forget all my worries and laugh my ass off excellent thank you for making these and please keep it up.
Ricky came up with The Short Way Round to replace An Idiot Abroad, which he has said will not get a third series. The Short Way Round is a spoof on Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman's Long Way Round world trip. It will see Karl joined by Warwick, the star of Ricky's upcoming sitcom Life's Too Short. Ricky said: "I send Karl around the world on a bike with Warwick in the front basket. It's not Shakespeare, but it's funny, right?"
"Colon then, educate me!" I'm really looking forward to these two! Idiot Abroad 2 looks better than the first as Karl seems to now understand what things we find funny about him. I could be mistaken though, he might still be just be as ignorant as ever, like a round-headed jelly-fish out of water. "Get a lobe of this!" should be the catch line. LTS looks like Extras but in a documentary style. I haven't seen anything to compare it Curb, like Ricky does. Maybe there will be some stare-downs. :/
Hehe, if you're not laughing out loud during the Idiot Abroad 2 bit with Karl in the plane, there's something wrong with you. Funniest thing I've seen in a long time. Cannot wait for the new series.
@honeyglamourdancehug Oh God, that bit with Karl tied to the plane was immense ! He's come a long way from just 'pressing the buttons'. I CANNOT WAIT !!!!!
Listen Ricky (not that you read this): I love you as a comedian but my favorite parts in almost all your works are not the funny bits but the serious parts, the small things. In The Office, In Extras, in An Idiot Abroad, and probably in Life's Too Short. Just look at Warwick's face in the last two seconds. That expression tells a tale long enough for a novel. What great acting... and you brought that out. Keep that up dude.
@Toms00 Haha, that "Sim-On-Web" set of rockbusters answers absolutely killed me when I first heard it. "I don't know anyone called sim on web mate, it doesn't work mate."
WOW look how many fans karl has got :O i cannot wait for this to come on i loved the 1st one PMSL hahahahahahhahah and now more laughing to come keep up the good work and come on series 3,4,5,6!!!! lol Karl your doing some good work and bringing laughter to everyone and somethink good one sky one pmsl
@RDprodx i completely agree with you and i am a born and raised american. I love the best of British and American TV. the only British Tv show that has no delay when aired is Doctor Who. there shouldn't be any delay because of globalization.
I know that Ricky has helped Karl to get his career to where it is now. but on the front page of UA-cam, it's a picture of Ricky fronting An Idiot Abroad 2. Although Ricky and Steve's input to the show is funny, it is no where near as good as Karl. He is legend among men. I think it's only right that Karl should be the face of his program, after all he did go through a lot of shit if it's anything like the first series.
There is a big different between a personal opinion, which of course, can be met with other personal opinions, and a fallacy which is product of ignorance and manipulation.
cant wait for idiot abroad 2! :D and im waiting for a new series of podcasts when karl's actually done some things now, gotten som experience and can continue to say weird shit! :)
Karl for President! Warvick Prime Minister! and True Peace will come back upon Earth! This world should laugh a bit more to become a better place. Thanks Ricky & Steve for such amazing ideas! the windy snake!!!!! Bloody amazing!
I can't wait for an Idiot Abroad 2 but i live in the US when does it start airing on the Science Channel? boo and i wanna see Lifes Too Short but i dont know if I will get it on my TV Boo again
cn someone help im seriously confused, apartley the route 66 episode came out o friday but then why is it that i can remember seeeing it months ago???? im certain i seen it before xxx
The greatest moment of the year, me seeing Karl screaming "Fucking twat" in a plane doing a loop the loop.
i love how people say he's acting hahaha. If you're a true pilko fan and listen to all the podcasts you just know he isnt acting

Except if you see how he goes on in real life outside the podcasts, you'll know his attitude is completely different

I always wanted to see that

Ricky's laugh is just legend!

RG laugh is contagious!
Can't wait for both shows. Ricky and Smerch are legends.
Can't wait for these shows...idiot abroad is without doubt THE funiest thing ive seen on TV...the sarcasm and dryness is brilliant.
I watch this almost everyday in anticipation of the upcoming series. this is gonna be so good!
So exciting!!! I can't get enough of these three amigos!
Lol at Ricky Laughing so hard at 4:12 he presses a digit on his phone
Best description of Rupert Murdoch ever!

He's so right ! No need for over exaggeration
love this video
“At least their won’t be a series 3”
Little did he know
I cannot wait for either.
Hehe, if you're not laughing out loud during the Idiot Abroad 2 bit with Karl in the plane, there's something wrong with you.
Funniest thing I've seen in a long time. Cannot wait for the new series.
thx, rick. waited for this for days.
Thanks Al.Im going through "Yer Blues" for or over about a month and this is
the first belly laugh I,ve had in a year!!!Plus the flu.......Shea
If Karl is acting he's the best fucking actor on the planet
Can't wait.

I CANNOT WAIT !!!!!
bloody brilliant
Best show ever
Ricky saying "In your face" made my day!!!!
ive been waiting for this for SOOO long
Couldn't help but smile when he said "Hi".
Listen Ricky (not that you read this):

I cannot wait for An idiot abroad season 2!
I bet "plumpard" is Ricky Gervais' youtube account for marketing stuff. It's the sort of word he'd use for it. If so, I love it!
I love how Ricky is more concerned about the snakes than Karl😂🐍
Tortoise with out it's shell on, that's what Rupert Murdoch looks like anyway even with his clothes on.
Hahaha I love steve but he really had no clue where the camera was this whole video hahahaha.
Rosamund 'Smell' Hanson is in it? Brilliant!
People - " I hate this country its going to shit " Karl - " Well it isn't, go to Mongolia "
I can't bloody wait!
pure brilliance! LOL!!
Ahh.. the good old days. At least we had this before everything turned to shite. This was at the peak of human civilisation 😅
mmmm life's too short season 2 someday?

Karl looks like Wawrinka, the tennis player.
i think your the only one that sees it.
And so what?
you gave your observation and i gave mine.
There is a big different between a personal opinion, which of course, can be met with other personal opinions, and a fallacy which is product of ignorance and manipulation.
Figaro Calisthenics Does Wawrinka have a head like a fucking orange?
Karl is SO good he is able to speak the truth in a unique way
Man Karl has some balls. 99% of these things Ricky and Steve would never do
"I just want to make sure these animals aren't being annoyed or teased or in anyway exploited."
Oh the irony....
there has to be a series 3. HAS TO BE
Brett Dilkington returns.
When will this be out in the US?
Can't wait for Life's too Short 2. Debuts on my birthday, to boot. And Karl's as well. Ani Difranco as well. And some guy named.... Springsteen?
is this available to download off the internet anywhere????
More, more........... MORE !!

'a tortoise without the shell on'.....HAHAHAHA
I agree with so much of what Karl says. He's not an idiot, he's just hyper realistic.
"Instead of a laughter track they could simply broadcast the sound of someone expensively scraping a small barrel." WELL FUCKING SAID FRANK!!!!
1:58
FUCKING TWAATS!!! AAARRWW!!!
FUUUUCKKING YESSS! CANT WAIT LOL :D
Warwick Davies looks like hes going to be brilliant doing this.
no he's not "see" the phone never rings "yes it does " hahaha thats funny
LOL snake fart PMSL!!! I love Karl! xxx
YES!!!!
god i'm actually so jealous of karl for doing all those things
if karl refuses to do a 3rd series you can call me up any time ricky
Karl is so lucky not only do he see the seven wonders of the world but now he is going on an africa safari, seeing the glaciers!
@gratzy2 Ricky said he's thinking of doing The Short Way Around at the end of next year, according to his Twitter.
@kchesh9 lol lets hope it is a Orange DVD Disc. ;)
what does warwick say at the end? something about a 'generation' guy? what does that mean?
Im on a mission to get as many fellow Americans into knowing the mind of Karl Pilkington as possible....the show makes our tv look like sesame street.
