Title: Karl Pilkington. An idiot abroad. Post by: stonecoldkiller on September 23, 2010, 12:10:46 AM Who else is looking forward to this, starting tomorrow night? I've listened to most of the podcasts and i think this is going to be ace.
Title: Re: Karl Pilkington. An idiot abroad. Post by: sweet potata! on September 23, 2010, 12:14:54 AM Yup, I'm hoping its gonna be very good, I have watched the podcasts when they were animated recently enough, they were very good.The trailers for this new thing look good, I just fear I'm expecting too much and it might disappoint.
Title: Re: Karl Pilkington. An idiot abroad. Post by: stonecoldkiller on September 23, 2010, 12:16:53 AM Listened to the casts and watched the Gervais Show and was very excited, then watching the preview show got me even more excited.

Hes the best person on the planet imo. YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QPjWUgY6rk Title: Re: Karl Pilkington. An idiot abroad. Post by: gatso on September 23, 2010, 12:49:38 AM yep, really looking forward to it. sky+ has been set for ages
Title: Re: Karl Pilkington. An idiot abroad. Post by: DaveShoelace on September 23, 2010, 09:39:17 AM ditto, I have a mate just like him so it will be compulsive viewing
Title: Re: Karl Pilkington. An idiot abroad. Post by: ACE2M on September 23, 2010, 09:40:38 AM I want it to be great but will it be? the magic is between him and gervais and as i understand it gervais won't feature in the shows at all?

Title: Re: Karl Pilkington. An idiot abroad. Post by: TightEnd on September 23, 2010, 10:17:33 AM Is it all an act? Apparently not Anyway, really enjoyed the original podcasts in 06-07, many a bellylaugh. Looking forward to this too. Title: Re: Karl Pilkington. An idiot abroad. Post by: ChipRich on September 23, 2010, 10:19:46 AM yep, looking forward to this. Should be good.

Title: Re: Karl Pilkington. An idiot abroad. Post by: ACE2M on September 23, 2010, 10:27:32 AM Is it all an act? It's hammed up a bit. If you listen to the ealry xfm shows he's not so stupid, he's still stupid but not quite as bad. Title: Re: Karl Pilkington. An idiot abroad. Post by: DaveShoelace on September 23, 2010, 10:48:21 AM Its such a tough one to call if its an act of not, because I think he would be exploiting it much more if it was an act and have his own chat show.
I always felt a bit uneasy watching some of the stuff because it really felt like bullying, but then I saw this, about 50 seconds in: YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tR-ZPiVI5rw Title: Re: Karl Pilkington.

An idiot abroad. Post by: brummieboy on September 23, 2010, 03:59:22 PM Never heard of Karl before I saw the trailer on sky a couple of weeks ago but really looking forward to it, he reminds me so much of a mate I play football with.
Title: Re: Karl Pilkington. An idiot abroad. Post by: Josedinho on September 23, 2010, 04:14:36 PM I don't think he's thick at all his mind just works in a weird way and he thinks of strange things. He does play up to it as in he knows what is funny so if he has a funny thought he'll say it whether he believes it is the truth or not.
Title: Re: Karl Pilkington. An idiot abroad. Post by: Woodsey on September 23, 2010, 04:37:34 PM I don't get it. What's so funny about going round saying everything is rubbish? He just sounds like a thick pleb so me :-X
Title: Re: Karl Pilkington. An idiot abroad. Post by: Alverton on September 23, 2010, 07:02:05 PM No thank you.
Title: Re: Karl Pilkington. An idiot abroad. Post by: Horneris on September 23, 2010, 07:26:46 PM I think people should listen to the podcasts before they watch the show to ensure that they "get it".Also, they are amazing.
Not sure where you can listen to them now bar downloading them though. Title: Re: Karl Pilkington. An idiot abroad. Post by: DaveShoelace on September 23, 2010, 07:32:16 PM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=206VELNupbM

Title: Re: Karl Pilkington. An idiot abroad. Post by: Horneris on September 23, 2010, 10:55:18 PM lol i cant believe the Chinese eat all those insects for fun.
I mean ducks and toads are one thing, i wouldnt mind having a try of those but Seahorses, Scorpions, Cockroaches wtf. Title: Re: Karl Pilkington. An idiot abroad.

Title: Re: Karl Pilkington. An idiot abroad. Post by: action man on September 24, 2010, 01:14:45 AM huge anti climax
Title: Re: Karl Pilkington. An idiot abroad. Post by: DaveShoelace on September 24, 2010, 08:35:52 AM Started a bit slow and thought it was gonna be a disappointment, but got better and better. I loved the moment where he turned round just in time to see that woman butcher the toad.
Title: Re: Karl Pilkington. An idiot abroad. Post by: ACE2M on September 24, 2010, 01:21:20 PM Just watched it, abs fantastic. hes so so com. no he's not, in a room with gervais its hilarious but on his own? don't think so. Title: Re: Karl Pilkington. An idiot abroad. Post by: ChipRich on September 24, 2010, 01:34:19 PM Just watched it, abs fantastic. hes so so com. no he's not, in a room with gervais its hilarious but on his own? don't think so. lol, his 1 liners are absolutely incred. Title: Re: Karl Pilkington. An idiot abroad. Post by: TightEnd on September 24, 2010, 01:35:40 PM but Gervais' reactions and comments make it, and without them its not as funny.
Like the programme, the podcasts are far preferable though Title: Re: Karl Pilkington. An idiot abroad. Post by: sweet potata! on September 24, 2010, 02:28:02 PM I enjoyed it, thought it was very good.
Title: Re: Karl Pilkington. An idiot abroad. Post by: boldie on September 25, 2010, 08:10:03 AM I was in stitches for some of it...some great stuff there
Title: Re: Karl Pilkington. An idiot abroad. Post by: Tractor on September 25, 2010, 08:36:57 AM This bloke is brilliant, he is in a different glass.
Title: Re: Karl Pilkington. An idiot abroad. Post by: TightPaulFolds on September 25, 2010, 12:47:35 PM Great stuff, horrible to see him in pain though
Title: Re: Karl Pilkington. An idiot abroad. Post by: action man on September 25, 2010, 05:57:29 PM the games up now he knows hes a characature
Title: Re: Karl Pilkington. An idiot abroad. Post by: stonecoldkiller on September 30, 2010, 09:26:29 PM This ep has been so good so far."the only thing im interested in down there is the bloke thats had his hand in the air for 12 years". I have not laughed this much in a while.
Title: Re: Karl Pilkington. An idiot abroad. Post by: Josedinho on September 30, 2010, 11:07:06 PM 50 to 100 times better than the first episode.
Title: Re: Karl Pilkington. An idiot abroad. Post by: gatso on September 30, 2010, 11:08:00 PM loving the ensuite shed
Title: Re: Karl Pilkington. An idiot abroad. Post by: Mitch on October 01, 2010, 05:34:36 AM 50 to 100 times better than the first episode. I laughed more at the 1st episode, although the ensuite shed comment was amazing! Title: Re: Karl Pilkington. An idiot abroad. Post by: DaveShoelace on October 01, 2010, 07:25:12 AM Thought the first episode was much better, this one had one or two gems though. The en suite shed was class.
I think the difference was that there was so much culturally different it was funny in ep 1, whereas there was just a lot of poverty in this one and it just showed him hating it. Still entertaining though, but hopefully future episodes will show him different ways of life rather than just unpleasantness because he isnt as funny when he is just being tortured. That said, looking forward to seeing him get kidnapped next episode. Title: Re: Karl Pilkington. An idiot abroad. Post by: sweet potata! on October 08, 2010, 11:51:21 AM I enjoyed last nights episode, some good funny bits. My fave part had to be when the lads who were driving Karl got out and start dancing every 10 mins.
Title: Re: Karl Pilkington. An idiot abroad. Post by: Josedinho on October 08, 2010, 02:57:55 PM Hmmm thought last nights was the worst so far. Was even bored in parts and considered FFing
Title: Re: Karl Pilkington. An idiot abroad. Post by: DaveShoelace on October 08, 2010, 03:23:43 PM Yeah it was more smile humour, I enjoyed it more than the India one but in a different way. Ive enjoyed them all, but the only really laugh out loud one was the first one.
Title: Re: Karl Pilkington. An idiot abroad. Post by: gatso on October 08, 2010, 05:25:42 PM his 3 word description of jerusalem was awesome `it`s like pacman`
Title: Re: Karl Pilkington. An idiot abroad. Post by: stonecoldkiller on October 08, 2010, 06:34:31 PM I loved his thoughts on being either nice looking or ugly.
Title: Re: Karl Pilkington. An idiot abroad. Post by: millidonk on August 29, 2011, 01:44:29 PM Just seen an advert for series 2 coming soon. Can't wait. Loved the first season.
