      I find it ludicrous how they got paid more thank Karl for idiot abroad, and makes me wonder if Ricky just knows he's good for money. He knows he is funny and made money out of him, kind of disgusting. All I'm saying is if Karl was my supposed "best friend" I would definitely let him have more of the money for it, especially when I didn't do fuck all, just sent him places.

    Karl rightfully prioritises grouting over supervising the Bacon show on his day off. Unfazed by 8 missed calls and the host's interruption of his grouting he gets his gripe in, about his delayed pay, succinctly and without malice. An example to us all.

    This is brilliant from both.
    Karl brilliantly embarrasses Ricky for not knowing a thing about DIY and proving that he's a regular bloke far more than the privileged and pompous Ricky.
    But Ricky brilliantly shows how stupid it is for Karl to be doing that DIY and how it would be even more absurd and illogical for Ricky himself to be wasting time and money doing it.

      Even more brilliant is how well they set each other up, Ricky massively plays up his being massively out of touch ("I earn more than a tiler" etc.) so that Karl's more down to earth moaning shtick lands even harder.

    I love how Ricky Gervais tried calling Karl out when saying dremel. Just for it to be clear he's the fool.

    Ricky's idea of fools gold where he gives Carl a million to double in a year actually sounded hilarious to me. He would mess it up so badly 😄

    Telling him he's had the easiest ride of it like Ricky ain't made ludicrous amounts out of him. Ruddy cheek. Like Karl hasn't had to do all the travel, miss time with his family and friends, whilst Ricky and Steve have chilled in an office doing cut-aways.

      @@TaxingIsThieving damn, I didn’t think of that. My bad. I stand corrected. I’m not from England so I didn’t know the other host and didn’t pay attention to the title. Cheers.
