This is the most relaxed and laid-back I have ever seen Karl. He is so personable here, maybe because Ricky isn't there winding him up, slagging him off and because he is not being "quizzed", he is just being asked about himself. I can see what Suzanne sees in him, he's a very sweet guy.
Ricky Gervais squeezed every last bit of juice out of the Pilkington orange, and for that reason we should be thankful. Without Ricky you’d have no idea who Karl Pilkington is.
It's really bad when you have to pretend to like your bully boss. Especially that pretentious not at all funny, short arsed, slimey little weasel, Gervais. Poor bastaad.
Karl is intelligent, he's quick witted and realistic including practical. He must have been a good worker and the fact he was in a high managerial job must prove that. He just happens to live on another planet and looks like he's had a lobotomy, people just treat him like an idiot when he's not.
Ricky knows his worth, he knows Karl is effortlessly funny. So he puts him down at every opportunity. I prefer Karl chatting with David Icke, he sums up Ricky's type in a heartbeat! Karl's great. Ricky uses Karl's jokes in his stand up as though they were his own, Karl is way too nice for his own good.
He IS kinda an idiot. He took that IQ test...and this was the one time I thought whoever was in charge of the show was genuinely mean...they listed his score. 83. We all know that's pretty damn close to the mentally handicapped! Now he's clearly not that dumb, but he struggles to understand the most basic things. THAT'S why he's funny.
@@angeloddrev Ricky made Karl and they're best friends, but what I'm getting from this...is you think Ricky is an "intellectual snob?" Because he laughs at Karl's RIDICULOUSLY stupid ideas? Like a watch that counts down your life backwards? Or the machine that transfers how you feel into the Doctor because he can't describe what type of ache he's got? LOL...c'mon... Oh, how about Ricky calling bullshit on Karl's INSANELY stupid stories about a Chimp performing Surgery...one that he's DEAD serious about! And the idea that Ricky NEEDS to steal material from Karl is...absurd. He made him a millionaire by doing nothing by telling Steven Hawking to "pack it in Steve," because we've learned enough. But I'd like some examples? I know he's quoted Karl and used the REAL person Karl in his standup. Never seen him steal a joke though...so any examples? After all, "a problem solved is a problem created."
has anyone else noticed that when karl is talking about radio broadcasting/production, he comes across quite professional? seems less dim than usual anyway
100% agree he is a total professional when it comes to that, always love hearing him talking about his past. Not always funny but ALWAYS interesting/entertaining.
i hear he got his first taste as a kid in hospital radio just wandered in to the hospital radio station when his dad or someone was in bad. i think if people like something they become good at it. whether they have the necessary qualifications or not
Ricky Gervais is brilliant, but he's also compassionate & not egotistical at all. Him at the award show tipped the balance back. I never wanted to watch those shows, what do I care that a very rich successful person gets an award and then gives a patronising speech about how we should think. Ricky was bringing reality back into the room, bringing them back down to earth. He's not cruel, just real. Love him
he's obviously not an idiot. he's naturally a funny, odd guy and, I think, he amplifies that on the Ricky Gervais Show.....he knows it's funny, so keep doing it.....love karl. THE man!
6:56 Almost anyone else that is in any way part of media, when talking about meeting Mr. Adams, would be an absolute sickening sycophant when asked about it. Karl delivers an honest response that resonates. It wasn't in any way negative. Just the simple truth. Both beautiful and refreshing.
That's the man from Soccer AM and no matter what he does he will always be remembered for it, he was made for presenting Soccer AM not some cookery programme
I used to be like ricky, intellectually confident and full of energy so i'd wrestle friends and stuff. Then I moved to uni and my parents moved countries so i lost my home and saw my friends less and less. Was living in a converted prison with people i didn't get on with and spent a lot of time alone reflecting on how i treated people. Now i try be nicer to everyone but people seem to like me less and less because of it. I wish i hadnt reflected so much and could still be myself
Ricky and Steve have learnt to coax out and nurture this ignorant side of Karl and use it for comic effect. I believe that every side of Karl we see is genuine, it's just how he changes in different environments. Who wouldn't want to come across polite and funny in an interview? And fair play to Karl, he knows he is uneducated and wants to make up for that. Which is only admirable.
Ricky and Karl sorta bounce off each other, though its good to see Karl as more of an individual entity, presenters seem banal and obvious, keep up the good stuff Pilkington.
he's honest, he's true to himself and he's simple... wouldn't mind hanging out with Karl he is way better than most people on TV.
I totally agree mate!! The man speaks straight from the heart always ♥️
hes very simple.
You can talk about what you’d say if you ever bumped into an alien “saw god… he was alright” 😂
Absolutely, he's alright n that
Hope you don't have small thumbs
If someone found recordings of karls first radio job they would be worth hundreds of thousands now

@richie61699, give it up. He's taken 😉
@@ethzero 😭😭 😂😂😁😁 'big crush' here too 🥰
Yeah he knows the presenter, so that helps
Ricky Gervais squeezed every last bit of juice out of the Pilkington orange, and for that reason we should be thankful. Without Ricky you’d have no idea who Karl Pilkington is.
hes genuinely a really nice guy, you can even tell by the way hes sitting for most of this, so natural.
"I left school early because I wanted to get a job before the others took them" I don't think that's how the world works Karl.. SOOOOO funny.
Back then it was.
Well it worked didn't it. Plus it look like he retired super early
Wellllll it kinda IS
Best part is he means the last day of school, not a term or semester etc
but that's exactly how it works
that's a whole year's worth of people entering the workforce, every year
I wish there were recordings of when Karl was a presenter on a radio show just chatting away to him self thinking no one was listening.
It's hilarious how he's really fed up when the hoover hits his face but when Ricky screams with laughter he can't help but to laugh

i remember hearing that on the XFM shows lol 100% true and agree with what you said
There is a podcast with Andrew Phillips the old boss of xfm who said Karl was really good at his job
I don't think he's a full character, but he certainly plays dumb if he thinks it's comedic. Feel 80% sincere 20% character to me.
2019.wat a brilliant interview. Karl is just himself even with his fame. He's just someone we all relate to. Well I do. Brilliant
He seems really relaxed and happy on this interview, and joking around quite alot too XD Legend.
"WAAAAAAYYYYYY" XD Poor Karl.
Karl is such a genuine person!
Karl was up till night, speaking his mind before the XFM days? We have to have a copy of that somewhere!
Funniest man alive, absolutely love him
Karl is the number 1 person I want to be friends with. He's such a great and honest guy. KARL if you read this never change who you are!
what if he doesn't read it?
This has to easily be one of the best interviews I have ever seen :-) highlight of my day
karl dilkington
karl pilkboys mankoid!
Dear Mr K Dilkington, you are one of our most loyal customers.
I threw it in the bin.
Heych - Verse don’t look, I’m just giving her a bit back
So proud of Karl, he's come so far.
my god one of the greatest 10 minutes of my life

I love Karl Pilkington! What you see is what you get. His honesty is what makes him amusing and interesting. Karl keeps it real.
Quite surprised at this interview, he's seemed friendlier and less uncomfortable than I'd expect him to be in interviews, he is a GENIUS!!
Karl seems to be in a really good mood here! - it’s great :D
0:58 laugh my ass off!!!!
Thank you for that analysis Abbe
My friend, just yesterday, asked me "who is the one person you want to meet before you die." You can guess the answer.
Darude - Sandstorm

Karl..
jeremy beadle
+Freedomz Scruffy Sandra
this guy is an enigma, slipping in between a genious and an imbocel i love it
^imbecile 😉
Karl you are a comedy legend..
Karl Pilkington has got to b the funniest dude ever the thing is he doesnt realise how funny he is lol
karl is the type of guy that you would just sit and listen in a pub for hours with only one drink and get hammered off the things he's saying.
Piss off mate I’m have 10 pints
karl is the guy that makes the podcast so funny
It's so great seeing Karl relaxed...
Karl is so unique. There is no other who would be at least remotely similar.
I could listen to Karl all day, he is so refreshingly straight-forward.
...oh and Amanda Hamilton, what a babe🔥
I love the noise Ricky makes when he puts the vacuum on Karl's face "wheeeeey"
I would LOVE to hear those "chattin away to miself" shows.
he's obviously not an idiot. he's naturally a funny, odd guy and, I think, he amplifies that on the Ricky Gervais Show.....he knows it's funny, so keep doing it.....love karl. THE man!
6:56 Almost anyone else that is in any way part of media, when talking about meeting Mr. Adams, would be an absolute sickening sycophant when asked about it. Karl delivers an honest response that resonates. It wasn't in any way negative. Just the simple truth. Both beautiful and refreshing.
6:17 that whole bike gag is genius. The especially since he says it genuinely
"But now I haven't got a bike, so let's do the learning" lmfao!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Whenever I see any interview with Karl I always end up laughing out loud. He is unique. I hope he never changes.
That's the man from Soccer AM and no matter what he does he will always be remembered for it,
he was made for presenting Soccer AM not some cookery programme
He's a great story teller
Love this clip. Love the Monaco watch that Ricky is wearing.
He is just super funny without trying. A gold mine.
Working class hero.
Karl P, loved him since 2008, before all the commercial stuff really kicked in, found them when they did the NME broadcast,
He is fascinating. What an interesting fella.
I don't think he's a dead-pan comic, but I do think he's perfected delivery over the years.
karl and ricky have such a good friendship, it's great
"that was amazing lololol-"
"its not amazing is it?"
lol
barrack obama I laughed too at that.
Great interview the write way to get the best out of Karl 👍
0:59 I really can't stop laughing. Ricky is so god damn hilarious
+Doogie Spence Karl more so....
i love how ricky said , dont worry your with us now .
He's so funny and quick on his jokes
Karl was enjoying himself, this was a good interview, the presenters were great
Shes fine
She's no Suzanne
Pleeeaaasssseeee Let there be a season 2 Please!!!
"We're surrounded by water. Why we eating knob?"
Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanntt!
he didn't put in that any hours at xfm. he was always on holiday or sick!
I used to be like ricky, intellectually confident and full of energy so i'd wrestle friends and stuff. Then I moved to uni and my parents moved countries so i lost my home and saw my friends less and less. Was living in a converted prison with people i didn't get on with and spent a lot of time alone reflecting on how i treated people.

Fucking fantastic we need more🙌🙌🙌
is this filmed in whitelys shopping centre, wher the Mcdonalds used to be?
looks very familiar
Please tell me there are recordings of Karl presenting his own show.
I'm so like Karl..I left school at 15 and didn't even bother going back for my exams.
Me too, I wonder if they are still about somewhere. Anyone know which radio station it was??
Okay, "Stop, this is the round head police" got me XD
I don't think that anything convinces Karl not to have kids more than Ricky.
0:54 One of the best thing ever on the net !
Good interview. Karl seems like a decent guy.
He’s a real public intellectual. A Bertrand Russell for our times.
Baldtrand Russell
It was amazing...
He really is a great comedian :)
Wow, Karl looks so comfortable with these guys
I know hes kind of thick, but I find Karl and his view of the world utterly endearing. Seems like a really nice, gentle human being.
his comedy timing is perfect in this
Look at Tim Lovejoy there just owning the space
It was one of the funniest things I've seen when ricky Vacuums karl and then he burst out laughing
Karl is trully brilliant...in a special kind of way...x
The fact that Lovejoy hosted a radio show with the theme 'What annoys you?' sums up his talent
He seems smarter here than in "The Ricky Gervais show". I like it.
Love to hear all the first
‘Will you be working with Ricky again’ haha how little did they know
I love the honestly.
Karl comes accross a lot more intelligent and normal in this interview. He seems like a really nice guy :)
I think Karl comes across really well here, he's an awesome guy.
It is round though isn't it...
just chatting away to himself cos he thought noone was listening
absolutley fucking legend
I'd love Karl on Jonathan Ross or Letterman.
Absolutely love this man
IT'S GREAT SEEING SIMON & TIM " BACK TOGETHER "!!!! NOW ON CH.4!!!!!! UP YOURS BBC.
@timsta88 Just found it.. Her name is Amanda Hamilton. She is a SCOTTISH nutritionist and TV host. Apparently not Ireland at all.
@furtherflight you'd have to listen to the podcast to understand
love the way Ricky always says he is an atheist but his favourite saying is " oh God Oh God "
Karl Ricky and Steve are a collective of genius
I don't have a bike now!
I almost fell off my chair laughing.
Ricky and Steve have learnt to coax out and nurture this ignorant side of Karl and use it for comic effect. I believe that every side of Karl we see is genuine, it's just how he changes in different environments. Who wouldn't want to come across polite and funny in an interview? And fair play to Karl, he knows he is uneducated and wants to make up for that. Which is only admirable.
Ricky and Karl sorta bounce off each other, though its good to see Karl as more of an individual entity, presenters seem banal and obvious, keep up the good stuff Pilkington.
So he looks at me and says " you look muscley"
You're muscley
I think Karl comes across very well in this.
