Karl goes for dinner at an Egyptian restaurant at the request of Ricky. He gets served up a suprised Egyptian cuisine which leaves a bitter taste in his mouth.
@@AA-hg5fk As a Northerner I'd love to agree, and my experience of York and Leeds concurs - but I'm in *Middlesbrough....* let's just say wit is low-on-the-ground in these parts. (ditto Hull)
xplus93 I don't think anybody truly thinks he's an idiot. From the podcast, it's just very apparent that Karl struggles with explaining what he means when he says something, so it ends up sounding really bizarre or stupid. When it's honestly just a normal guy who can never find the proper way to get his point across.
The editing of this programme for this scene is impeccable. "cuscus..anything like that I don't have that. It's not a meal" (*cut to a cow skull and an eye*) "I just want some food nothing too challenging" (*brain*)
I am Egyptian..This is not a representative dish in Egyptian cuisine .. That is a RARE DISH that you can find in Egypt ..I didn't even saw or ate that dish before Egyptian food is so delicious and full of many amazing dishes I wasn't expecting that.
Watching this video i am like, "WTH? We NEVER EAT THOSE KINDA STUFF!" I was expecting some of the traditional food we have, not that! very few people eat that, I am sorry you had to experience such awful thing! Your friend was enjoying it, though! :D
I gotta admit if I'm ever having a down day or need abit of cheering up I always stick on a Karl video because he always makes me laugh would love to sit and have a chat with him bet I'd do nothing but laugh
I am a little sad that this aired over 10 years ago. Here, in the US, it was a very short run on the Travel Channel. I don't think they ran it for a full season even. It felt like a Karen with a letter-writing campaign undid it. The editing on the show was fantastic. Holding that shot of Karl's face while his voiceover begins with "Normally, on a Monday night..." absolutely delivered.
we really need a final series of idiot abroad when ricky is also forced to go through all this stuff so we can see how he takes it. its a cop out that he never did it.
Whenever I go to another country, I always try to sample as much local cuisine as possible. If I ever go to Egypt, I think I might be rather sheepish in terms of trying out the cuisine.
egyptian food is really good, middle eastern food is all the same really. chicken over rice. or grilled meat. lots of vegetables, olive oil, beans, chickpeas... nobody actually eats this lol they did it because it's more entertaining than him eating normal food.
No one's trying to say that this is typical Egyptian cuisine, Ricky and Steve are only doing what they usually do on the show; making Karl uncomfortable. They send him to weird places like this on purpose. I mean, come on, every time he stays somewhere in the show, it's always in a crappy or crowded place.
Very first part of the video: "I'll get you the special of the day, typical Egyptian food." Clearly it isn't, but haha, dude, it's literally fuckin exactly what he said to Karl.
i am Egyptian , and its the very first time i hear about such food . we have a saying in Egypt " tourists in our country " . blows your mind how many new things u find out about your own country with time .

Karl is amazing and his view on life, imo, is very valuable. To really gauge the spectrum of human tolerance, intellect and enlightenment, one needs to establish proper perimeters...Karl serves as the lowest.
Haha are you surprised? This is a man who didn't try pasta till he was in his 20's! If he wasn't ignorant... well there'd be no show! I still love him though, he's a loveable buffoon
Much like Karl, I had never eaten pasta nor Chinese food until I had moved away from home at 17. My parents were unapologetically jordies when it came to food. No rice unless it was in rice pudding and almost everything else fried. I had no complaints. But then at 17 I ate a pizza and my life changed.
"I'll get you the specialty of the day" LOL ! Always ask what that "specialty" is before agreeing. While I'm in agreement that nothing should be wasted, meals like this is not for everyone. Certain parts are not even fit for human or animal consumption, they're sent to a rendering plant and turned into fertilizer. To each their own, and whatever one is accustomed to.
It's quite soft, like very slowly cooked roasted beef but softer in texture, hard to describe lol, I've had lamb brains too, basically tasteless moosh. I recommend trying tongue though, very tasty.
I like how there’s comments from 7 years ago and 14 hours ago lol
19 Years ago haha
and 10 minutes ago
What bOb said +1 second
Kek
Wait untill someone reads this comment in 30 years.
"Youve put words in me mouth - amongst other things"
Yes, so funny and straight forward.
The exact comment I was looking for heres a like
Along with other things
Genius
When in rome I'll eat pasta 🤣
1:13
karl: i'm sure i had this before.
me on the fucking floor
I can hear Ricky's laughter in the distance when he says that
The smirk on the owner's face after Karl says that.
LMAO...the expression on his face when he found out...priceless
@@TH-camTookMyNickname.WhyNot here’s an 8 month notification for being a shit troll lol
@@TH-camTookMyNickname.WhyNot touché.
For a guy basically plucked off the streets of Manchester, Karl has a turn of phrase second to none.
Actually quite typical of Northern blokes, who tend to be quite witty. I say this as a southerner.

Ok, he was definitely being funny on purpose there, that was hilarious!
xplus93 he's still an idiot but an idiot with typical English wit.

I love how he’s not grossed out, just ever so slightly put out by it all
"I could eat a knob at night"- Karl Pilkington
hahaha thats amazing
It's predictable.
What's predictable?
That you said pretty much what everybody else was thinking. Save for a few who's brains work far slower.
Captain Goeby It's a funny reference m8. Lighten up
*chews on a testicle*
I've had that before
😂😂😂😂
He's had a knob at night
Wakk🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Its a dick
Looked like spam to be fair
He ate a knob at night..
They didn't even let him get some rice and that in his belly.
Davidm00sh12 ok???
You look like a nob

"When in Rome I'm happy to go along with it and have pasta..... when in Egypt, have a bullock for lunch" hahahaaaa
Tamara Simpson
It's *bollock not "bullock." Two completely different words with two completely different meanings.
cquilty1 she’s mimicking Karl’s Manchester accent you tool
I feel like its Christmas when Karl smiles.
Awwwww that's so cute
This is for shock value. Egyptian cuisine doesn't include those as regular dishes.
J C it’s not, how do you know?
@J C in what ways?
@J C it really really is
@: yea Egypt has 0 hygiene the facilities there were fucking disgusting got ill there never going back. Nice views occasionally though.
J C You’re a terrible human being. So I guess it evens out.
I love Ricky just cackling at the thought of Karl’s misery
Ah yes, one of my favorite proverbs: "When in Egypt, have a bollock for lunch."
You put words in me mouth along with other things now that is a one liner for the ages
Pajamapants Jack YOURE HERE TOO?!?
You put words in my mouth, along with other things. Haha! Classic.🤣
his facial expression when told the ingredients
Hes such a grumpy bastard most of the time that when he smiles it makes me smile
"You put words in me' mouth... along with other things!" 🤣
"I didn't say delicious.. You just put the words in my mouth, along with other things..."
Fucking Ace!
I'm Egyptian and this is disgusting wtf man
same
sAme
This is not an Egyptian food
twenty one pilots you are gorgeous!
It's not really common but some people eat them
I’m half Egyptian and I eat local food every meal with my family when visiting and I’ve never had that
You should eat a knob at night 😂
I'm sure I have tasted this before, Carl giving his secrets away!
Karl*
Hahaha "I'm sure i've had that before", "It's penis/testicles". Oh Karl, you should really tell Suzanne about your encounters!!!
Sazabi MSN-04 the host was smiling after he said that aswell
that was too perfect! Karl's been outed...
"I could eat a knob at night"
After all these years it's finnaly happened
1:23
I would have given anything to see Ricky's reaction when Karl said "I'm sure I've had it before..."
Me 2 ,unfortunately it’s all fake and set up
@@hardknocklife7210 obviously

I wasn't expecting that.
''Didnt have pasta til i was 21'' :D
The way it cuts to the stuff being cooked right after he eats it is like a fucking horror film😂
Not as much so as your profile pic lol.
@@dannygreen5477 I hope you feel good about that
"i never experimented much with food... didn't have pasta until I was about 21...22" Oh Karl...

Hahaha 🤣 I love how these things come up on my stream
“Got” to have another bottle of wine.
This show was just ricky and steve trying to get karl out of his comfort zone
When you order "meat and two veg" in Egypt.
By sending Karl out to see the world, Ricky effectively lost his play toy.
we really need a final series of idiot abroad when ricky is also forced to go through all this stuff so we can see how he takes it. its a cop out that he never did it.
"Along with other things."" Haha he's a fucking genius.
He's either a legit genius or legit idiot. Either way, he's perfect.
“Cock n bollocks, couple of eyes” im fucking dead 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I'm 100% convinced Ricky booked this restaurant for him
Poor Karl - I always felt so sorry for him, but he endured ... and there's no way I would have made it through one episode, let alone several series!

This guy is si funny man.he cracks me up every time
Ricky laughs all the time.🤣🤣
Well at least Karl didn't lie on the Podcast and I quote "I could eat a knob at night" Oh god he does make me crease.
I doubt your average Egyptian would eat this.
i am Egyptian , and its the very first time i hear about such food . we have a saying in Egypt " tourists in our country " . blows your mind how many new things u find out about your own country with time .
"im Sure i had it before " LOL
lmao the truth comes out!
The other guy's smile!!!! 😂😂
When in Egypt, have a bollock for lunch, haha!
"I'm sure I've had it before." LOL!
Immagine ricky watching this for the first time laighing histerically.
1:37 Omg that face have no price!!!
IS A TRAAAP!!
"I didn't say it was delicious - You're puttin words in me mouth along with other things!" LOL

"I'm sure I've had it before..." of course he says that while nibbling on some bollocks.
"when in egypt, have a bollock for lunch"
Lmao.
If this was in the morning, he would have never eaten it.
Karl is amazing and his view on life, imo, is very valuable. To really
gauge the spectrum of human tolerance, intellect and enlightenment, one

Hahaha love this
Karl finally proved his own point, he didn't have much, but he did eat a knob at night.
when they zoom into his hair damnnn this whole series is a roast session
I mean, you know, as long as he didn't know what it was, it looked like he enjoyed it
"When in Egypt, have a bollock for lunch"
Lol lol. I'll have two
All with me who think that Gervais is an idiot, while Karl's a total chill dude?
1:37 😂😂😂hahaha his face after the realisation
I'm just now finding this show.OMG It's EPIC!!! lol
Haha are you surprised? This is a man who didn't try pasta till he was in his 20's! If he wasn't ignorant... well there'd be no show! I still love him though, he's a loveable buffoon
I know I couldn't resist haha...You did sort of walk into that one though. And you know that.
His face when he realised what he ate 😂😂😂
"Why do you use everything to that degree"
DUDE... IT'S A DESERT!!!!!!
"You're putting words in me mouth, among other things." Fuckin Karl . . .
That's not dinner, it's an autopsy!!!
Karls face after he finds out... priceless :o
"You put words in my mouth, and other things" lol priceless
I'm Egyptian & that's so disgusting I never had testicles & I'm 25 years old :/ Wallahi 3eeb 3leek ya sa7b L mat3m

Hope so A Nice Young Man

natrag spar I haven't really watched it yet. That's just what I read about it. It looks cool though, I'm a huge Ricky Gervais fan.
This is not an Egyptian food
I'm Egyptian and i've never tried this shit before.. Actually this is not common at all in our culture
Yasmine's Tube no it's not actually
You've never tried it... You can try mine if you want holla at me / dm me

"And the chewy one... penis." Gets me everytime 🤣
Oh Karl. His face alone...! 😂
