Karl was born a natural intellectual, but had the upbringing of a simple man. That's what makes him so brilliant, that duality. He's usually right about things, at their core, but he delivers them in such unique way. Mix this with a perfect natural comedic timing, and 1 liners to floor any sitcom writer, and it makes the funniest man on the planet
Tiny Tim, go get a chicken. We all know it's meant to be Turkey, but the fact that in his mind he changed it to chicken and then made the disabled kid go get it is genius!
People need to stop insulting Ricky and actually thank him for bringing Karl to the lime light, without Ricky so generously giving his friend a job we would have no idea who he was!
MKN No worries. I thought it was because he should have said turkey. And then I would have said "Ha !" it was a goose ! (at least I think it was a goose.)
+Paul L - Its not the chicken, it's the fact that Tiny Tim wasn't getting anything because he couldn't hobble two steps. Scrooge pulls some random boy off the street to buy the goose.
The reason I like christmas is just watching christmas films and cartoons and the whole build up. Everyone is happy etc all the decorations and christmas pictures they put on chocolate and stuff reminds me of when I was a kid and had no troubles, really it just Fills me full of childlike wonder and dreams... Until about January when you remember everything's still the same shit haha.
Bollocks. It's the reason I detest christmas. It's just lies and unrealistic expectations designed to make you spend money on shit you don't need and time with people you spend all fucking year avoiding. Burn it, I say. Burn it all to Hell!!! 😂 But seriously, I don't mind Christmas so long as I'm allowed to avoid it. Otherwise it's like spending weeks being jollied along to an interminable work party where you're expected to have fun but not in the way you want to.
I think Karl is one of the most naturally funny people ever. I could watch him all the time and never get fed up. I know he’s not into the trappings of fame but come on karl, we need more of you.
The thing with Karl is he's right with a lot of things but doesn't express it in the best way. When he says tiny Tim go and get a chicken. I think overall what he means is now, and this is just one example, meat is relatively cheap, so we can have a roast dinner whenever we want to, back in the day, let's just say 100 years ago as a point of reference, it was probably a lot more of a special occasion to have even something such as a roast chicken or a proper cut of meat. So perhaps families would save for a long time to be able to afford a good meal at Christmas. So it meant more to people. Now you can just pop down tesco and get a large chicken for about 4 quid.
What Karl says is so true. The best part of Christmas is the food - bigger dinner than usual. Everything else about it is nonsense - the build-up etc Christmas cards are dreadful - I no longer send them and I hate receiving them - they mean nothing !!! What Karl says is always true and it's the way he says it that makes him so funny. His deadpan grumpy expression - Genius !!!
Yeah, I'm with Karl on this. I hate the build-up, and the expectations. I like to lie in when I'm on vacation. I wish everyone would just shut up about "oh we have to do this and that, and visit these people" every day.
"I love easter, no you don't you like eggs you like chocolate you fat little..." I love it how you can hear the people in the background laughing. x'DD
i like the way gervais always laughs at everything. in my mind, most comedians are quite deadpan, but this one is enjoying his own stuff more than anyone else)
I start losing it when Ricky is about to lose it, and locks it up--trying not to laugh, too early, but it starts when he says she was wanderin' about...knockin' around with those three fellers. And Ricky's face (don't laugh, don't laugh, don't laugh) CLASSIC!
The retail industry has put the final nail into the coffin of Christmas in the last decade or so. Doing your Christmas shopping in late November used to be regarded as early. Now all the big stores have the Santa hats, tinsel, fake trees, lights and snow domes out in September when we're still having BBQs. A four month retail campaign for a two day festival has completely devalued the whole thing.
Haha, he's so right about it being a dead week between Christmas and New Year. It's the shittiest period of the year. You're still recovering from the hangover of Christmas and eating too much, got to go to work, and already you're looking forward to New Year's eve. And everyone's like that so nothing ever gets done.
See we've clearly got very different views on that. I love the period between Christmas and New Year because nothing ever gets done. It's a week of no work, eating leftovers and drinking without even knowing what day it is. And I fucking love it. New year's is a shower of shite though
I honestly don't think he's trying to be funny..especially in front of the camera. That's the beauty in how he expresses himself. I often share his views and feelings on things except that when I express them, people see it as my being cynical..lol. He's a very down to earth kind of guy with most getting the wrong impression but at his core, he's a very compassionate and empathetic person.
You've fallen for the trap I fell in years ago, where I thought Ricky was just a bully. Ricky is basically trying to get Karl to talk and to experience stuff. calling him an idiot is friendly banter, and head references add to said banter. I do that to mates, and mates do that to me.
I’d say Ricky was proud of him here and even let up on him. Let him have his say, and ultimately agreed. I feel like Ricky let’s us experience Karl to understand why they get on, but keeps giving us a look now and then in humor to push his narrative.
maisie taylor ah ok, why did he have his birthday at christmas ? he would have been better having it later in the year so he didnt get all his presents at once !
this cats mind & thought pattern needs to be explored. Karl is one of very few that I never know what he will twist next out of a normal situation or thought. GREAT!!! Thanks Ricky for this find, "Karl Pilkington."
I find myself inexplicably watching videos of Karl far more often than is normal
that's because he is AWESOME
+zedooncadhz me too! I think its because we are all like him :)
+zedooncadhz yes, people are suckers for the truth, its the same reason why eminem is the biggest selling rapper of all time
I'm like a head trip to listen to, cause I'm only giving you
Things you joke about with your friends inside your living room

JLG Gaming "comedy brink" is the name?

I dont think he understands how much of a gem he really is
Perfectly said
Yeah I agree, he's a bright little fella but the fact he stopped going to school at like age 13 meant he had absolutely no critical thinking skills.
@@martymcfly5528 schools do not teach critical thinking. They teach to a set curriculum and teach to pass an exam, not think for yourself.
@@billhawkins192 eh depends on the subject and the teacher to be fair.
Listening to Karl is one insanely entertaining way to waste time. Watching Gervais react to everything Karl says is another.
I feel myself giggling away to it but losing brain cells in the process but cannot look away like a car crash 🤪
this man is probably my favourite human being
Mine as well.
One of my faves too
Mine too!
I love how Ricky always assumes a laughing face even before Karl even begins his sentances.
Zzz Scoff he knows what's coming haha.
He winds him up and sits back waiting for the nonsense to come out :)
Hes so funny as hes mental tuned
Hours long binge watching clips of Karl. Check!
Christofer Bajen I've been watching every video I can. They are hilarious
"Im gonna have this kid in a bit , sort summwhere out"
hahaha that just came into my thoughts randomly at work today... fucking karl is brilliant
Hahahaha, love the idea of Mary saying that in a Manc accent
"She came from Salford"
I'd like to think Mary was pro-active like that, but for the fact she was riding around in the middle of nowhere on a donkey.
I do actually agree with Karl on a lot of things. He says what a lot of people are thinking, but too afraid to say.
like rik mayall :) says it like it is
I completely agree!
Well done to so and so computers
Come back to this every year. Happy Christmas 🎄 🤣
lol "imagine if I bothered writing *this* ?"
When I'm feeling down I just watch Karl and all is well with the world again. Perfect cure for depression.
Was she knockin' about with the three fellas at that point? 😂
Tiny Tim, go get a chicken. We all know it's meant to be Turkey, but the fact that in his mind he changed it to chicken and then made the disabled kid go get it is genius!
Actually, it was a goose
And Tiny Tim couldnt even walk, never mind bring home something for Christmas dinner. It was a random street kid that Scrooge tossed his money to.
People need to stop insulting Ricky and actually thank him for bringing Karl to the lime light, without Ricky so generously giving his friend a job we would have no idea who he was!
11 yrs on and this is still funny 😄
I watched this for the millionth time just to hear "tiny tim go and get a chicken" 5:04
+MKN What should he have said ? A turkey ?
+Paul L I didn't say there was anything wrong with it! The way he said it was fucking hilarious 😂
MKN No worries. I thought it was because he should have said turkey. And then I would have said "Ha !" it was a goose ! (at least I think it was a goose.)
+Paul L - Its not the chicken, it's the fact that Tiny Tim wasn't getting anything because he couldn't hobble two steps. Scrooge pulls some random boy off the street to buy the goose.
I just came back for that! Thanks for the time it comes on!
Mary was 'knocking about' xDDDDD
That's how she got pregnant.
The reason I like christmas is just watching christmas films and cartoons and the whole build up.

This comment still holds up

I think Karl is one of the most naturally funny people ever. I could watch him all the time and never get fed up.
I know he’s not into the trappings of fame but come on karl, we need more of you.
“Tiny Tim, go and get a chicken”
Best synopsis of A Christmas Carol ever
Karl is so funny, I'd love to be friends with him.
Too much hassle
Only need 7 friends to get you through life n' that...
There is no one out there like Karl!! He is one of a kind
rickys face when karl says its hassle is great
I think Karl is the only one that doesn't know how brilliant he is. Thankyou Manchester!!!
Three wise Fellas haha
I loved the weeks off for Christmas vacation
The thing with Karl is he's right with a lot of things but doesn't express it in the best way. When he says tiny Tim go and get a chicken. I think overall what he means is now, and this is just one example, meat is relatively cheap, so we can have a roast dinner whenever we want to, back in the day, let's just say 100 years ago as a point of reference, it was probably a lot more of a special occasion to have even something such as a roast chicken or a proper cut of meat. So perhaps families would save for a long time to be able to afford a good meal at Christmas. So it meant more to people. Now you can just pop down tesco and get a large chicken for about 4 quid.
What Karl says is actually quite profound, you just have to look for the meaning.
I love that Ricky introduced Karl to the world
"You're making me look like a div, 'ere!" - Karl's career in a nutshell.
Karl's greatest quality is that he always has his own thoughts, he never takes stuff for what it is
What Karl says is so true. The best part of Christmas is the food - bigger dinner than usual. Everything else about it is nonsense - the build-up etc Christmas cards are dreadful - I no longer send them and I hate receiving them - they mean nothing !!! What Karl says is always true and it's the way he says it that makes him so funny. His deadpan grumpy expression - Genius !!!
"It was rubbish. It was an old fellow reading out a smelly bible. Really old books."
Genius
"Tiny Tim go and get a chicken!"
“A star was involved”
Christmas has happened get back to work 😂😂
Yeah, I'm with Karl on this. I hate the build-up, and the expectations. I like to lie in when I'm on vacation. I wish everyone would just shut up about "oh we have to do this and that, and visit these people" every day.
"...Something about witches."
2021 after Xmas an Karl is the man still
I'm gonna have this kid in a bit, sort somewhere out
Ricky Gervais' laugh makes my life, every time I hear it. :)
“‘Yeah she came from Salford’ haha that fucking killed me.
Yeah, she was "knocking about" in Salford.
Best thing to watch before Christmas Eve
"I love easter, no you don't you like eggs you like chocolate you fat little..." I love it how you can hear the people in the background laughing. x'DD
Classic.You ever feel down.Listen to Carl and Ricky😂😎💎💎💎💎
i like the way gervais always laughs at everything. in my mind, most comedians are quite deadpan, but this one is enjoying his own stuff more than anyone else)
“We’re gonna struggle, it’s Christmas Eve.”
I love Mary and Joseph struggling to find a hotel to stay in, like its Blackpool
@@abcxyz53 Blackpool is a popular weekend holiday destination for people in the north
Karl's a genius. nothing but love for him. i would love to have a chat with him
I start losing it when Ricky is about to lose it, and locks it up--trying not to laugh, too early, but it starts when he says she was wanderin' about...knockin' around with those three fellers. And Ricky's face (don't laugh, don't laugh, don't laugh) CLASSIC!
This man is a national treasure! You would be surprised the amount of people just like him it truly scary! Funny but scary.
We need more people like Karl today more than ever.
karl: hurry up and find somewhere im going to have this kid in a bit
ricky: yea she came from salford hahaa
Most innovative comedy act I've ever seen. Never miss their shows
The retail industry has put the final nail into the coffin of Christmas in the last decade or so.

there's always someone 'knockin about' in any story
This is hilarious 😂 got a mate like this and honestly, nm how much you argue, show him facts etc he will not budge XD
You can tell when it's almost Xmas. They start putting out the Easter eggs.
I'm a certified Karloholic........Ask me anything...........
What word did Karl go for instead of "saved" when he was talking about being rescued from a desert island?
Visda58 'Captured'........Easy mate........
luuke furtado In a particular role-play scenario, what three things was Karl claiming not to be paid or qualified for to be sorting out for Ricky?
Visda58 You are pushing your luck mate.....Please rephrase your question ,that's some atrocious language......
luuke furtado What do you mean? The grammar of the question is correct. I'll give you a hint... the three things rhymed.
I love how you can always see the wheels turning in his head.
Tiny Tim - go n get a chicken - ahhhhhhhhhh, I laughed so much, oh fuck.
Brilliant and simple. I love his honesty, right or wrong.
“Something about witches” 😂😂
Amazing this was posted 11 years ago. Karl's thinking is timeless.
4:02 - that smile, among Karl's flaming of Xmas, is comic genius.
I love Karl so much. Everything about him. 🥰
Haha, he's so right about it being a dead week between Christmas and New Year. It's the shittiest period of the year. You're still recovering from the hangover of Christmas and eating too much, got to go to work, and already you're looking forward to New Year's eve.

See we've clearly got very different views on that. I love the period between Christmas and New Year because nothing ever gets done. It's a week of no work, eating leftovers and drinking without even knowing what day it is. And I fucking love it.
New year's is a shower of shite though
1:21 “We’ve done that”… I use that at work because of Ricky😂
tiny tim go an' get a chicken😂. I'm dead
This was on one of the podcasts.
"She was from Salford" pissed at that
Just makes me laugh to no end his humour is so honest and just being himself
I honestly don't think he's trying to be funny..especially in front of the camera. That's the beauty in how he expresses himself. I often share his views and feelings on things except that when I express them, people see it as my being cynical..lol. He's a very down to earth kind of guy with most getting the wrong impression but at his core, he's a very compassionate and empathetic person.
that smile from Ricky at 4:02 haha
+schpleeb you must like over acting a lot
"we're gonna struggle, it's Christmas eve"🤣🤣🤣🤣
4:41 my fucking sides 😂😂
Best episode ever, I'd imagine.
The sniff at the start lol
“I’m having this baby. Sort this out” 😂
You've fallen for the trap I fell in years ago, where I thought Ricky was just a bully.
Ricky is basically trying to get Karl to talk and to experience stuff. calling him an idiot is friendly banter, and head references add to said banter.
I do that to mates, and mates do that to me.
It doesn't help that sometimes Ricky misses his point so badly it seems deliberate.
I’d say Ricky was proud of him here and even let up on him. Let him have his say, and ultimately agreed. I feel like Ricky let’s us experience Karl to understand why they get on, but keeps giving us a look now and then in humor to push his narrative.
The world watches Carl because he is funny..and everyone has a little bit of Carl's logic that they agree with 🙆👏👏
why wasnt jesus looking forward to easter ? did he not like chocolate ?
That's when he died
maisie taylor ah ok, why did he have his birthday at christmas ? he would have been better having it later in the year so he didnt get all his presents at once !
maisie taylor Fucking idiot. Made my day hahaha
LOL Your comments had me crackin up. XD
They should have booked a hotel in advance too. Christmas is always one of the busiest times!
Great clip.
Oh and have a good Christmas
"There was a star involved" :L haha!!
For a few years there, I forgot about Karl. Balance has been restored...
There are two contradictory stories, one in Matthew, one in Luke. Karl's mashup is as good as any.
Oh and er have a good Christmas
Karl is funnier than Ricky
this cats mind & thought pattern needs to be explored. Karl is one of very few that I never know what he will twist next out of a normal situation or thought. GREAT!!! Thanks Ricky for this find, "Karl Pilkington."
Tiny tim! Go get a chicken.. !
You can tell Ricky loves Karl. This is how me and my best friend are when we're together.
knowing it was... JEW ;D 0:40
Daniel Freer fucking hell, never noticed that little gem before :D
*due
i have wished that for YEARS. him ricky and steve on QI XL would be the best event in history
Karl's made out to be an idiot but not getting involved in religion sounds pretty clever to me 😉
He's already more intelligent than the average religious person right there.
You bet! clever disguise that stupid shtick!
Recommendations on point
Listen at 3:18, moaning in the background. What's goin on here?
Breakfast
'Mary was pregnant, she was wondering about...' It was at this point Ricky knew he chose the right topic...
"That week between christmas and new year, is a dead week" .. Soo true!! :D
Love KP ;)
Even if its just a sketch it takes a lot of acting skill to not burst laughing when you have Ricky beside you.
Fuck sake man. It's obviously not scripted
I agree with Karl, don’t like Christmas and especially the days following as nothing is opened and you can’t do anything
This is from the XFM years. So good!
Very true orenji.... You know when it gets all pilkington. Bloody brilliant
true representation of a british man , no posh boys in britain,this is what you get and i love it😂❤️
