@Maiahi Not sure what the quotes were for, but he's not playing a "role" though. Karl is 100% genuine. At best, he likely, probably exaggerates for entertainment purposes.
He's no longer a public figure and has thus gone back to being an indolent Manc twat who futters about his house and occasionally goes out to get groceries. Occasionally some media type will pin him down for a bit and he'll say something stupid and look confused and then he'll go back to what he was doing. He's bored with the public eye, I believe.
😄 Just remember that Karl actually thinks....that this is a real learn English programme. While Ricky knows full well this is just a wind up! Brilliant! And notice, that while Karl actually thinks that...he is acting like it's a real travel guide for Chinese people. LONDON EYE! It's basically "the worst English lesson ever" (as Ricky remarks) and, surprisingly, the worst real travel guide for Chinese people. A comedy masterpiece like no other.
I love how as soon as he's given control of the scenario and realizes that he can do whatever he wants with it, he uses it to vent his own personal frustration and completely abandons the idea of helping others or teaching english. lol

@@sanhasenteredthechat7901 He was doing "Idiot abroad" before, visiting lots of different countries. If you've ever been to India it's crystal clear where he's coming from. Just because he's generalizing like there's no tomorrow doesn't mean he hasn't got a point.

Most underrated bit of this is Ricky’s slight pause when Karl says he can go in sort of 10 mins. He is so confused why Karl can’t just say he can go in now in a completely hypothetical scenario but can’t be bothered to argue so just goes along with it
Johnny Felcher no it's not. were at the park. we're at the park. where at the park? ... wear at the park. without context, none of these are distinguishable vocally.
He's a wonderful combination of gullibility and irritability. So he's massively irritated at Ricky's shenanigans, but not at all suspicious as to why he (of all people) was asked to do a foreign language instruction video. Brilliant. Play a record.
I think to Carl it IS a genuine conversation. Once you get him into a scenario and make him care about it, which is pretty easy, he is there defending his viewpoint as if it was real. That's exactly what makes him funny. Carl, suppose..., and off he goes. :D
I don't believe Karl genuinely is as stupid as he comes across, I think in his own right he is a comedy genius, he plays a character that I feel everybody has deep inside. I feel it's partly put on and partly real at the same time.
every time I feel like my English has lessened, I come back to this lesson. I have been watching this lesson since 3 years now. always fresh and helpful.
+Joshua Smith I'm so sorry, pardon my impoliteness. But thank you for linking me the reddit post. Such a shame that Karl, Ricky and Steve don't talk anymore😢.
Karl's ability to play the straight man is unparalleled. He can hold that face all day and put Ricky over the edge a couple dozen times. He's just so good at that face. I love it.
I love how Karl's way of "teaching English" is by randomly looking at the camera and shouting a random word, regardless of what it is. "It's a very STRONG tea".... love this I also could not be part of the crew on these. I could not be a DoP or boom swinger or anything behind the camera whilst watching this. It would be the hardest thing ever to keep quiet and not laugh
This was just after Idiot Abroad's first season. Carl has just had his horizons forcibly expanded for the first time in his life, and his primary memories of the experience are how irritating and unusual Chinese people are. hahaha. He'd need a thousand years to get down to the deeper bits.
I love Karl, he's actually very real. His insight and experience gives him a very real honest intelligence of the world. That combined with a mix misery and British mood makes him truly hilarious.
Please, I beg you, make a second part of this. I've been coming back to this video for 3 years now and this still is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
I'm Chinese and the first time when I watched this video I was hoping to learn some serious English.(My appreciations to the person who made the Mandarin subtitles)
@@AliciaPigue if you're coming to England, make sure you don't get ripped off (also known as 'conned', 'taken advantage of' and 'done up like a kipper')!
Ricky, Steve, and Karl have helped me get through the darkest moments of my life. What they've provided for me and many others they'll never truly understand. No matter how many times I watch or listen to them they always make me giggle like crazy and can always cheer me up. To think that Karl's school teach said he would never be a high flyer....he's touched so many people's lives across the globe
I am so glad you have turned to something that makes you happy it can be hard to focus on positive stuff in this world sometimes. I've been on a ricky binge rewatching his tours and his oscar hosting videos on yt
Not much you can do with it? fuck off, the only reason any Karl Pilkington show is funny is because of Karl Pilkington, you get Ricky involved as well and I swear they could do anything and I'd still watch it, they could sit reading the news and they'd make it funny
I hope everyone who has watched this know about the XFM shows, the guide to and the podcasts. If not, just type in RSK compilation. I've been listening every single night for the last 6 years, I've heard all their content over and over and I'll never get bored of it. Something about it is soothing, i forget everything i got going on and just listen to those 3 rambling on
Imagine the pleasure I had only discovering this 3 months ago. I have already listened to and watched everything multiple times and like you, I still listen to the old XFM shows and anything KP, RG and SM daily. I wish there was more....
i like how Karl's laugh is just a cheesy grin followed by a quiet scoffing sound. and then he goes back to looking like he has war induced PTSD.

LMFAO HOMIE WTF
Thankyou
Soooo true
I don't think it's war iduced PTSD, it's "bins out before thursday" PTSD
I love how Karl's idea of translating a word to someone who doesn't speak any English is just giving a synonym and then repeating it forcefully
The idea was to have subtitles so you could see what the word was in your native language.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Still better than the usual approach of repeating the same thing louder and louder, as if sound volume could influence comprehension 🤣
I don't think Ricky's idea was to a actually teach people English.
It was to set Karl up to talk gibberish, which he succeded in doing, as usual.
what tEaBaGs have you gottt'
After seven years, such a shame this still hasn't been made into a series...

This was just after Idiot Abroad's first season. Carl has just had his horizons forcibly expanded for the first time in his life, and his primary memories of the experience are how irritating and unusual Chinese people are. hahaha. He'd need a thousand years to get down to the deeper bits.
LMAOOO
And eventually the Japanese
I watch this at least 5 times a year and it never fails to make me laugh 😂
I love Karl, he's actually very real. His insight and experience gives him a very real honest intelligence of the world. That combined with a mix misery and British mood makes him truly hilarious.
Please, I beg you, make a second part of this. I've been coming back to this video for 3 years now and this still is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
I come back to this video every 6 or so months, and it still cracks me up. I really want more episodes!
Yeah. Ricky's laugh is borderline evil, but it's damn infectious. More lessons please!
I absolutely love to watch these two. I remember when this showed up. I laughed out loud. My wife thought I was going crazy.
I'm Chinese and the first time when I watched this video I was hoping to learn some serious English.(My appreciations to the person who made the Mandarin subtitles)
Yes
Do you think English people smell of milk? Be honest!
@@AA-hg5fk To be honest, as someone who grew up in a ranch in Inner Mongolia and whose grandparents are dairy farmers, I may smell more like milk😅
@Jesus is Dog : Feels alright, a little bit coronavirus-y though
@@AliciaPigue if you're coming to England, make sure you don't get ripped off (also known as 'conned', 'taken advantage of' and 'done up like a kipper')!
Ricky, Steve, and Karl have helped me get through the darkest moments of my life. What they've provided for me and many others they'll never truly understand. No matter how many times I watch or listen to them they always make me giggle like crazy and can always cheer me up. To think that Karl's school teach said he would never be a high flyer....he's touched so many people's lives across the globe
Agree... there is something very special about those two.. my humour has become very similar to this over the years.. it's all down to Ricky.. loool
Me too! Not much makes me laugh really hard like it used to. These 2 together are classic.
I am so glad you have turned to something that makes you happy it can be hard to focus on positive stuff in this world sometimes. I've been on a ricky binge rewatching his tours and his oscar hosting videos on yt
Karl and Norm Macdonald and the American Office those are my big three.No matter how down I am they brighten my day.
XFM
Love how he can only envisage a Chinese person!
"Are we focusing on Chinese?"
"No."
"Well we should."
Loulabelle plus, 'you never see a homeless Chinese person'.
😗🎶🎶
They age weird
@@mattday7337 good-looking when they're young, then they age over night and all look 45. According to the gospel of KP.
Ricky knows exactly how to get the funniest out of Karl, he's brilliant at planting seeds in Karl's mind then letting him run with it.
"I'd just wrap any old shit up and give it ya......tenner, rip you off"
+doyneamite This moment is what this video is all about
+doyneamite Just Karl moments
+doyneamite karls from down the road from me in manchester. Seriously, thats our mentality.
+doyneamite Coz ain't nobody got time fo dat.
Stelios Kontos lucky is the man who knows Karl Pilkington
id just wrap any old shit
Rip you off...
The back, crack and sack skit was simply incredible. Haven't laughed like that in a while, actual tears hahaha
I can come back once a year to this and cry my eyes out every time ... this is HILARIOUS !
Rickie is doing this purely for his own amusement. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Yourtube User Funny thing is, if he's amusing himself then it amuses us.
Really??? And here I thought they were actually trying to teach English to foreigners...
Daryl Christie .....and ours ! ( our entertainment ).
Ricky Gervais doesn't do anything unless it amuses him.
@Enda mc garth Boo fuckin hoo
It just doesn't get any better than this.....
Karl saying ‘of course it is’ is genuinely one of the funniest things ever
I started laughing just reading you're comment. Karl be having my guts for this!
Have repeatedly watched that part, still crackes me up to no end 😂😂.
It's my favourite part. It's perfection.
"Rip off"
"Conned"
"Taken advantage of"
"Done up like a kipper"
"Look at this foreigner, I done him up like a kipper."
lol! I'm dead 😂😂😂
this is when english gets complicated
Done up like a kipper I'm screaming 😂😂
Bens Vault....it’s insane man, I’m crying with laughter!!! 😭🤣😂
Useful though, visitors need to be careful about getting done up like a kipper!
His face @11:00 of acceptance after Karl still made him wait 10 minutes in this fictional world. Beautiful.
I've had a shit day and even though I've seen this a dozen times I'm still crying with laughter now . Karl at his best .
Simply stunning. I so wish they’d made more parts to it. They still could!!!!!
I wanna see Ricky Gervais play “try not to laugh” with Karl...
He'd lose the first minute.
He'd lose on the way to the game just thinking about karl's head
Yea seriously Ricky would be the worst at that game 😂
Or karl playing try to laugh with ricky
Karl only laugh at baby falling out of strollers
Why was this never made into a series?
Philip Thompson I know, this is fantastic. This is funnier than the ricky gervais show and an idiot abroad
I don't think it has the legs to run more than three episodes. There's not really much to the idea, just enough for one great video.
One of History's great tragedies.
Not much you can do with it? fuck off, the only reason any Karl Pilkington show is funny is because of Karl Pilkington, you get Ricky involved as well and I swear they could do anything and I'd still watch it, they could sit reading the news and they'd make it funny
Karl never got the pot
I know everyone says this about every video but this literally is my most favourite video ever
7 months later, I still agree!
Mine too. Literally!
The best thing about this, is the fact that gervais knows this isn't a real language documentary. But he also knows that KP actually does think it is.
no he doesnt lol
@@Gush27 rubber bands
@@jackmehoffe9372 my favourite snack
15:03 I'm sorry but his laugh here is what pure joy sounds like. Never change Ricky.
5 years ago when I was bad at English, I happened to watch this with caption in my language. This helped me a lot learn terms for testicles
"Where. Wear."
"One word, two meanings."
@!? I'm wearing a jumper!
@@saam77
Where've you been?!
Same sound, at least. If they were the same word they'd be spelled the same.
Ricky’s face when he said that
@@MrHotstepper89 Brilliant.
I hope everyone who has watched this know about the XFM shows, the guide to and the podcasts. If not, just type in RSK compilation. I've been listening every single night for the last 6 years, I've heard all their content over and over and I'll never get bored of it. Something about it is soothing, i forget everything i got going on and just listen to those 3 rambling on
Imagine the pleasure I had only discovering this 3 months ago. I have already listened to and watched everything multiple times and like you, I still listen to the old XFM shows and anything KP, RG and SM daily. I wish there was more....
Ricky: "Teabag okay?"
Karl: "...wot?"
6:43 best bit that
that "wot" was so sincere
literally scrolled down and read this as he said it
