He was talking about the fact that every sound we hear has a tone, like the sound a jackhammer in London, even though it sounds gross and disonant to us, it's still just a collection of tones we're already aware of. Same with any sound, like the new frog he was talking about, even if it made a new sound, it would still be made up of familiar tones if it was broken down. He meant to say tones, not noises. And I think he just guessed the number 5. There are many more than 5, but he was right for the most part.
Karl had an older brother, Mark. According to the internet he died back in 2017. He also has an older sister. He’s stated many times he hasn’t had any contact with either of them in years.
2 fun facts: 1) there is a clip of Karla brother on a TV show about the unemployed 2) the bird/noises .. I saw the same documentary which featured the Lyre Bird (clip available on TH-cam) and basically it mates by mimicking sounds of the rainforest. But because of human encroachment they caught it mimicking a car alarm, chain saw, and camera shutter. In typical Karl fashion he didn't listen and made his own reason as to why this bird sounds like a car lol
@@rikurodriguesneto6043 there's a finite range of pitches But timbres - ie the SHAPE of sound waves - are infinite If you get a standard sine wave, you change the shape by adding mathematical functions and transformations to them. Because there are an infinite number of numbers, there are an infinite number of different functions you can add to a sine wave to change its timbre even within one mathematical formula. I.e. you can divide some by any number from 0 to infinitely, including fractions But then ontop of that you can multiply an infinite number of ways. And then ontop of that you can divide it by one number and multiply by another.
@@rikurodriguesneto6043 bu again... Colours are based on FREQUENCY of light wave like PITCH is based on FREQUENCY of sound waves Colour is not equivalent to timbre. It's equivalent to pitch
There are some great stories of his brother and dad on the old radio show. Karl seems to take after his mom though with the mad ghost and "freak" fascination.
The noises debate. What he means is this, on a daily basis every noise you hear is a familiar one. Very rarely will you hear a noise that you have never heard before
I'm sorry you haven't been well, Mandy 🙁 Glad you're feeling a bit better, and the new hair colour looks awesome! Ricky not understanding Karl, combined with your epic laughing at the end had be in tears! 🤣🤣
I think what Karl means was that if you take every noise in the world and grouped them up into very similar sounds, each group of sounds would have at least 5 instances of that particular sound in it. So take any sound in the world, e.g. a car engine, Karl is saying you could find at least 4 more occurrences of that sound (or a very similar sound) out in the world somewhere.. But I have no idea where he was going with that, or if he could somehow gleam something interesting from it.
I always thought Karl was trying to make the point that a finite number of sound wave patterns means some reoccur in nature, but in his classic style he ends up taking about frogs making a noise like a Ford Escort. 🤣
That was a fun one! I've thought about this a lot: When he says "all noises have been used 5 times" I think what he was trying to say is that the range of frequencies our ears are able to pick up are limited, and every noise is somewhere within that range. Maybe that's what he means 🤔 I get the impression he reads lots of science mags and translates what he reads into a way he can understand it 😂 Ricky's exasperation is funny tho!😂
It's true about the horse, they stopped it going in the pub so it had to be served at the window. At the end I think Karl was talking about the Lyre Bird from Australia, it can mimic the sounds of chainsaws, car alarms etc.
I think Karl meant that every sound frequency has been heard “at least five times,” like the keys of a piano or colors in the visual spectrum. The problem is instead of a quantifiable factor like “sound frequency,” something we can measure and replicate, he used the ambiguous word “noise” that can mean Ford Escort vroom or Chicken cluck. Also the five times thing is meaningless no matter what he meant lol
My guess with Mrs Battersby is that Karl just had a vivid dream he thought was real and told his parents as if it really happened. When my nephew was around 6 he asked if I wanted to see "the pelican" and dragged me upstairs to show me it. I thought he was going to show me a rubbish drawing he did of a pelican. But then he started looking down the side of the bed for a real pelican. Then I realised he must've had a dream that he thought was real. I recall similar experiences as a kid with my own dreams spilling over into reality.
"there is a time and place to be lost" is going in the number two position in my KP sayings second only to the KP saying "how would I know which one I am" if he had a clone.
Hey Mandy, love your videos. Your laughter and appreciation of Karl always makes my day brighter. I'm sorry if this has already been asked but would you ever think about reacting to episodes of the XFM radio show from around 2003 ish? There are so many tens (maybe even hundreds) of hours of the three of them talking. There is so much stuff they talk about that i think you will find hilarious. Some of the best Karl moments are from there in my opinion. It is only audio however i still think it would be worth seeing your reactions to the episodes in order. Anyway, just a suggestion. Hope you feel better soon :)
Karl completely misunderstood the noise thing The idea is that there are a limited number of frequencies which humans can hear, therefore over the course of all time, every frequency will have occurred, therefore every possible sound will have occurred. He's thinking that in order for every sound to have occurred that noises get used up and therefore anything new we hear can be compared to a previous noise we've heard.
exactly! xD That's of course only talking about the source of the noise and not the filter on the noise that is responsible for much of the tone colour. There is probably an infinite amount of possible filters out there. Not to mention interference and complex waveforms, etc.
The bird that sounds like a car is the lyre bird. It can imitate almost any noise, including the chainsaws that come to screw its environment. it was featured on Q.I.
They had 2 House episodes about that, the other one was where they cut that brain matter bridge between the two and both sides couldn't communicate and his left hand would do stuff that the one that could talk wouldn't understand. Left side is right brain, right side is left brain.
From what I understand, Karl means there’s a certain range of human hearing (like notes on a piano) so we associate existing sounds with ones we know already. And the average number of associations is 5. But Karl’s mind reduces it to “Every noise has been used 5 times”
It happens only very occasionally but those segments when the laughter just keeps building with every moment are so epic. I was riding that with you lol and the moment the owl/slug/peacock made a return appearance was the final straw for us both haha. Nothing makes me laugh more than this show and you enhance it perfectly. Soooo much fun and enjoyable to view, thank you so much for that 🤗 Oh and i'm similar to Karl in that when I was a kid I kept speaking to a ghost too while visiting the same county of Cornwall. I also don't remember it but my Mum tells the story about it so it's exactly the same haha. Also, I totally got what he was saying about the noises, he's just simply saying that there's so much noise going on that every possible noise that can possibly be created by soundwaves or however it is created has happened and is happening and therefore no new noises will be heard in the future. Finally, I feel quite proud to say when I'm similar to Karl about something 😅🤪
I think he was trying to say u can't make a new sound like try and think of a new color u can't do it I think that's were he was goin I hope that makes sense 😂
I think Karl heard two different things and created his own theory based on it. First the thing about sounds being frequencies, and how humans hear a finite range of frequencies (not understanding that one frequency doesn't mean one fully produced 'sound' like a bird chirp as sounds are combinations of many frequencies) and secondly he probably saw the Attenborough documentary (he mentions him often) where they show the Lyre bird doing perfect imitations of car alarms and chainsaws.
On noises, I think a way of putting the point in a way that makes sense is we have a limited hearing range and only so many ways of describing noise (eg this new thing makes a noise that sounds like an existing thing), which could be a fun debate on the limits of language... (and he nearly gets there while staying so far away...) Karl, however, is talking like noises are literally keys on a piano, there're a fixed amount, and it's absolute shite 🤣🤣
"There"s only so many noises ." ... "I don't know what you mean?" It's like Abbot & Costello - Who's on first. I'm a little worried , Karl kind of makes sense to me .
I think I cracked what Karl meant about all sounds being used, it's when he compared it to keys on a piano, I think he meant that every sound that exists has to by default be somewhere on the musical spectrum, for example an animal roaring might be a b flat, and so does every other sound in the world. So there cannot be any new sounds just as there can't be any new musical notes. Is that what you meant Karl? Karl: Yeah 🤣Liar
I think he just means that there's not an infinite amount of possible sounds, just like there's a finite amount of wavelengths on the light spectrum. Anything that exists in the universe has to use these same wavelengths, including all the colors we see, you would find creatures on an alien world that use the same colors as creatures on earth, for example. Obviously you'll never find a frog that sounds like a Ford Escort but I think he's just making an analogy, I doubt even he thinks this could exist.
I think what Karl was saying was when you hear a noise you never say, "I've never heard THAT before." The sound always reminds you of some other sound that already exists. Where he got into trouble was mentioning the 5 times bit. That's Klassic Karl.
There’s a video of mark doing the rounds, he had issues to put it politely, he was on one of those shows about people living off benefits. As other people were saying he and Karl weren’t talking.
There are sound engineers who engineer specific sounds - like the sound a car door makes when it is closed. I know that is an extra sound but perhaps Karl's ears don't make a distinction between different car doors and lumps sounds together in categories - like frogs.
My theory about the noises is that Karl has seen something like that video of a miner bird.. that's making camera lens noises and deforestation tool noises.. as they hear that and add them to their song repertoire. But in Karl's world.. it means we're running out of noises.. and so the bird is reusing preexisting ones. A bit like how he always thinks we don't have enough letters in the alphabet. The amusing thing is.. I mean.. he's an audio engineer!
The UK has about 8 bank holidays where some places close or do half days other than that its the usual holidays like Easter, Christmas and New Year but Christmas is the big day for more places being shut. Some businesses dont open Sundays or a weekend either
Cool episode and what a great way to end that one with another epic laugh moment! Laughter is the best medicine, so you'll be back to 100% in no time. Blue is my favourite colour, so good choice :) Great to see you back at it. And it seems in Argentia, they take 'siestas' just like they do in Spain eh? Lazy baskets.
Stereotypes, I don't know about argentina, but I'm from Spain and we don't take siestas, we work after lunch like any other european country. On weekends many businesses are opened.
Totally disagree on your "coming to work even though everything's snowed in" take. Because your reasoning was that if Karl could come to work everyone else should. Which *only* makes sense if all the workers live together in Karls place... You don't know how much worse it is snowing where she is compared to Karl, you don't know how much further away she lived compared to Karl, he could live in a walking distance away, you don't know if public transport is going where Karl is but not where she lives etc etc. Great reaction though, hope you'll feel better soon!
Agreed. Anyone who does or has lived in a region like the UK where most of the time there isn't any snow, so that isn't adequately prepared infrastructure-wise to deal with it when it *does* snow, will know that often it's dangerous to even drive at all in it. So some people in more remote areas are "snowed in" literally. Also, one should work to live not live to work IMHO anyway, I feel it's a healthier attitude.
I get that, and my issue is people that never want to work! As I said, there are of course exceptions where people should stay home. But it is a whole cultural problem here in Argentina. For example if Karl was fed up with Sheila because she is always pulling something, like she tried to pull the same thing in Summer and couldn't get to her car because there were too mamy birds outside. Lol
I think Karl had some kind of point with the noise thing, but completely ballsed it up in his mind (the Karl filtering process)...& he knew it towards the end & just gave up 😅 Remember, Ricky started off here saying about things Karl has said before in gobbledygook, that turn out to be true...I think this is a case like that. Btw, loved the rant about lazy people in Argentina 🤣 ...you explained well...like how if there is a public holiday on Tuesday, they will take the whole week off. 😅
Karl had the same problem with letters of the alphabet. It seems we've been using them too liberally and we are running out now (???) because we've used them up. It probably made sense in his head but then his brain leads him down some fantastical paths.
Only thing I love more than The Ricky Gervais show is Mandy losing it as much as I do over Karl's insanities, you legit made my day (and destroyed my abs!) so thanks! P.S. LOVE the blue hair!
My favourites was Karl explaining his room 101 brains that dont want to do what they are good at is the only time i think i had no idea what he was trying to say and still dont really. The other one was the loneliest man in the world when talking about the moon landings but quickly it made sense once ricky asked questions.
My sister has been working in Sweden the last six years as a teacher. One winter they had snow from November to March. One week they had -25C. The school did not close one day. Way to go, Karl.
Great reaction Mandy, I laughed as hard as you about the 'only so many noises exist'......Karl really led himself up a blind alley with that train of thought...🤦🏻♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣 Your channel never fails to brighten my day. 👊🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
"he has a brother!" lol, Miss cane lane, i refer you to Xfm radio shows...their even better than this and provide a lot of context. His older brother, karl doesn't like much, im pretty sure hes dead now actually..and his sister he doesnt keep in contact with
I love how much you laugh towards the end part it’s just because it’s fucking hell areas but also to do you have his quite funny erase. Mandy keep it up
23:48 Sorry but this isn't Karl flexing a strong work ethic. There will always be some people who use excuses to avoid work but we have many rural areas in the UK that get cut off during heavy cold snaps. I would use public transport during these times knowing some colleagues couldn't. Karl is just doubling down on his opinion, ignoring the above context provided by Ricky, because Karl can never admit to being wrong (half wrong here, problem with infrastructure, not people). Giving us some bloody hilarious results! My favourite Pilkington rebuttal is the "hmmmmm"☹️. A difficult argument to counter!
Hahaha! Yeah, I know. I was coming from a different issue that bothers me. A cultural thing here in Argentina. No one wants to work here but everyone wants to be a millionare. Lol
@@MandyCaneLane No worries. You recognised some home truths in what Karl was saying and needed to vent. It's healthy... also entertaining... and a little educational too.
Mandy, the only thing I can think karl has started with was some time ago they announced that the water in London had been drunk about 5 times, upstream from London, processed and returned to the River again before someone in London drinks it.
Hey ! I'm All Caught Up. I Really Like Your Reactions to Ricky Gervais Show So Much. that I Binge Watched All of Your Reactions. P.S. I like your Blue Streak in your hair.
I understand what he was trying to say with the noises. Hes basically saying that things have repeats of the same noises. For example. In his mind, hes thinking about maybe 5 different types of chickens. If 3 of those types of chickens sound like chickens. His mind is wanting the other 2 types of chickens to sound different because he feels like the chicken noise has been used too much already. He also thinks that animals make up their own noise and they cant think of any new noises to make because they've "ran out of noises" so they just make the same noise. I have no idea if this even makes sense, its much harder to explain than i thought it would be 🤣. I understand what he means though. Hes talking shit but i understand it 😂
Double-glazed just means instead of one pane of glass as a window there's two back to back with tiny bit of space in the middle...You must just have another name for it, maybe PVC or something.
In Ricky's defence in regard to the snow plumbing thing. In the UK there's many people who live in rural areas. So when it's snowing or really icy it can be tricky. Like you could live in a little village about 10 miles away from the main city center and the roads can be atrocious. For a contary that gets as much snow as we do we really don't know how to cope.
I have no idea about soundwaves or whatever, but maybe he means all combinations of pitch, tone, loudness, and whatever else have all been used at least five times each, based on the number of possible sounds and size of the universe? I have no idea. I'm trying, Karl.
I'm pretty sure Karl saw the lyre bird video, where it replicates chainsaw, car, and camera noises, and took away the completely wrong message as per usual.
Double glazed windows aren't sound proof lol she would hear the door still. Karl making excuses 😅. Also on the beetle is liquorice thing apparently when I was a very small child I ate some brown paint because I thought it was chocolate 😅
That’s what I was thinking. How is that a bad thing! Life is about enjoying it. We need to get rid of this Victorian mindset that working hard for someone else is virtuous. It was an idea planted to make working class people not question the shit deal they’ve been given. When you’re on your death bed would you rather be able to brag about putting in 80 hours last week, or about the day you spent with your friends. Hard work doesn’t equal reward, it equals millionaires extracting more wealth from people they underpay.
@@sara-jayn Exactly! If you want to work hard, good for you, but most people would rather have more free time to spend on other things besides work. Also40 hours work week is unproductive and outdated me thinks
Ummm... I can't explain the last 100 years of Argentine history and economy in a comment, but no. Argentinians have got it all wrong resulting in more poverty than ever before. More than half the kids here are poor and underfed and there are more and more homeless people now dying from the cold. It is a huge cultural problem that you kind of have to live here to understand.
It's great to see you laughing again, Mandy - Karl always cheers one up! I didn't know he had an older brother but I reckon you could be his gorgeous bqby sister! Haha 😜😅🙏
Kar'ls Brother was in fly on the wall documentary about living on benefits and being un employed. You should be able to find it on your tube. Although he has sadly passed, he had lots of Karl's traits and came across with warmth, just didn't get that lucky break in life that Karl got I suppose. However, I do think Karl has a very high IQ and it's masked by his working Klass upbringing to a degree. He's a comedy genius as is his timing, and I believe he has a quality of delivering comedy that makes us all think its completely unintentional, when its not, its just been executed so perfectly by him and he's deceived us all.
The noise thing: He is thinking of 'sound' as if it were an alphabet (I don't know why, that's where his mind went) as opposed to say like the infinite possible numbers between 0 and 1. So because it's a finite list in his mind, he is assuming that there are more entities & objects in existence so ergo it's inevitable that a 'noise' from that finite list would be used multiple times by different things because there are no other possibilities outside the list. Like as an analogy an orchestra of 36 people with only 15 kinds of instruments available. In case you missed it, Karl never really had an education of significance, so whenever he indulges in intellectual or abstract thought it won't pan out for him. Also I'm not sure, but I think in one of his shows he had an IQ test & he scored around 95 or something, so so don't be too annoyed if you don't understand something he says, it's probably because there's nothing to understand anyway. Bless him.
As a Canadian I heartily endorse not driving in dangerous weather. We don't need to make blood sacrifices to the U-bend factory. Also, in this completely hypothetical scenario, she's making a huge assumption about the weather and road conditions at two separate locations.
You losing it towards the end of the episode really put a smile on my face. It’s adorable and so hilarious!😂❤❤❤
Haha, well thank you! 🤗

I think I cracked what Karl meant about all sounds being used, it's when he compared it to keys on a piano, I think he meant that every sound that exists has to by default be somewhere on the musical spectrum, for example an animal roaring might be a b flat, and so does every other sound in the world. So there cannot be any new sounds just as there can't be any new musical notes. Is that what you meant Karl?
Karl: Yeah
🤣Liar
I think he just means that there's not an infinite amount of possible sounds, just like there's a finite amount of wavelengths on the light spectrum. Anything that exists in the universe has to use these same wavelengths, including all the colors we see, you would find creatures on an alien world that use the same colors as creatures on earth, for example. Obviously you'll never find a frog that sounds like a Ford Escort but I think he's just making an analogy, I doubt even he thinks this could exist.
I get that, but was is up with you only hear stuff 5 times? 😅🤪
@@MandyCaneLane I think he just threw out a random number
I think what Karl was saying was when you hear a noise you never say, "I've never heard THAT before." The sound always reminds you of some other sound that already exists. Where he got into trouble was mentioning the 5 times bit. That's Klassic Karl.
Hmmm... interesting. 🤔
There’s a video of mark doing the rounds, he had issues to put it politely, he was on one of those shows about people living off benefits. As other people were saying he and Karl weren’t talking.
That fat wheeze will go down in the annuls of history lmao, love ya Mandy 😂
Lol!
To be honest that taking a nap in the middle of the work day thing sounds amazing! I think I’m moving to Argentina lol
And 30 days of national holidays. What's wrong with that?
I work to live not live to work 😂
Lol, people here don't work at all and complian they can't make a living 😅
Hope you love double or even triple digit inflation!
There are sound engineers who engineer specific sounds - like the sound a car door makes when it is closed. I know that is an extra sound but perhaps Karl's ears don't make a distinction between different car doors and lumps sounds together in categories - like frogs.
The knock of the bell on the doubly door!
Tom Hanks had a particularly round-headed friend called Wilson in the movie Castaway (or even Cast Away).
Lmao!!!
My theory about the noises is that Karl has seen something like that video of a miner bird.. that's making camera lens noises and deforestation tool noises.. as they hear that and add them to their song repertoire. But in Karl's world.. it means we're running out of noises.. and so the bird is reusing preexisting ones. A bit like how he always thinks we don't have enough letters in the alphabet.
The amusing thing is.. I mean.. he's an audio engineer!
Hahaha! Maybe! 😅😅
I swear he'd been watching Coronation Street lol and dreaming of weatherfields cilla battersby 😅
I think he just means there's only so many frequencies of sound you can hear, only a certain range
Probably your funniest reaction so far. 😂
😅🤗
The UK has about 8 bank holidays where some places close or do half days other than that its the usual holidays like Easter, Christmas and New Year but Christmas is the big day for more places being shut. Some businesses dont open Sundays or a weekend either
I'm pretty sure that job-hypothetical would get Karl sued for wrongful-termination.
Cool episode and what a great way to end that one with another epic laugh moment! Laughter is the best medicine, so you'll be back to 100% in no time. Blue is my favourite colour, so good choice :)
Great to see you back at it. And it seems in Argentia, they take 'siestas' just like they do in Spain eh? Lazy baskets.
I know nothing about Spain 😃
@@MandyCaneLane Your ancestors probably moved to Argentina from Spain &/or Italy.
Stereotypes, I don't know about argentina, but I'm from Spain and we don't take siestas, we work after lunch like any other european country. On weekends many businesses are opened.
Totally disagree on your "coming to work even though everything's snowed in" take. Because your reasoning was that if Karl could come to work everyone else should. Which *only* makes sense if all the workers live together in Karls place...
You don't know how much worse it is snowing where she is compared to Karl, you don't know how much further away she lived compared to Karl, he could live in a walking distance away, you don't know if public transport is going where Karl is but not where she lives etc etc.
Great reaction though, hope you'll feel better soon!
Agreed. Anyone who does or has lived in a region like the UK where most of the time there isn't any snow, so that isn't adequately prepared infrastructure-wise to deal with it when it *does* snow, will know that often it's dangerous to even drive at all in it. So some people in more remote areas are "snowed in" literally. Also, one should work to live not live to work IMHO anyway, I feel it's a healthier attitude.
I get that, and my issue is people that never want to work! As I said, there are of course exceptions where people should stay home. But it is a whole cultural problem here in Argentina. For example if Karl was fed up with Sheila because she is always pulling something, like she tried to pull the same thing in Summer and couldn't get to her car because there were too mamy birds outside. Lol
I think Karl had some kind of point with the noise thing, but completely ballsed it up in his mind (the Karl filtering process)...& he knew it towards the end & just gave up 😅 Remember, Ricky started off here saying about things Karl has said before in gobbledygook, that turn out to be true...I think this is a case like that.
Btw, loved the rant about lazy people in Argentina 🤣 ...you explained well...like how if there is a public holiday on Tuesday, they will take the whole week off. 😅
Karl had the same problem with letters of the alphabet. It seems we've been using them too liberally and we are running out now (???) because we've used them up. It probably made sense in his head but then his brain leads him down some fantastical paths.
@@DruncanUK ...sticking a P on pneumonia..."what's that letter doing there"
*angry
🤣
Only thing I love more than The Ricky Gervais show is Mandy losing it as much as I do over Karl's insanities, you legit made my day (and destroyed my abs!) so thanks! P.S. LOVE the blue hair!
Haha! So chuffed you enjoy! 🤗🤗
My favourites was Karl explaining his room 101 brains that dont want to do what they are good at is the only time i think i had no idea what he was trying to say and still dont really. The other one was the loneliest man in the world when talking about the moon landings but quickly it made sense once ricky asked questions.
My sister has been working in Sweden the last six years as a teacher. One winter they had snow from November to March. One week they had -25C. The school did not close one day. Way to go, Karl.
Oh boy. As I said, there are definitely exceptions!
Great reaction Mandy, I laughed as hard as you about the 'only so many noises exist'......Karl really led himself up a blind alley with that train of thought...🤦🏻♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣
Your channel never fails to brighten my day. 👊🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much Paul! 🙌🏻🤗
"he has a brother!" lol, Miss cane lane, i refer you to Xfm radio shows...their even better than this and provide a lot of context.
His older brother, karl doesn't like much, im pretty sure hes dead now actually..and his sister he doesnt keep in contact with
yep, Karls brother was nothing like him😂
and i think he did pass away, from drugs or somethin'
I was dying with laughter when you lost it 😂😂😂
I love how much you laugh towards the end part it’s just because it’s fucking hell areas but also to do you have his quite funny erase. Mandy keep it up
"Mandy of the Half-Dead" (horror comedy), starring Mandy Cane, premieres this summer
🤣🙌🏻
23:48 Sorry but this isn't Karl flexing a strong work ethic. There will always be some people who use excuses to avoid work but we have many rural areas in the UK that get cut off during heavy cold snaps. I would use public transport during these times knowing some colleagues couldn't. Karl is just doubling down on his opinion, ignoring the above context provided by Ricky, because Karl can never admit to being wrong (half wrong here, problem with infrastructure, not people). Giving us some bloody hilarious results! My favourite Pilkington rebuttal is the "hmmmmm"☹️. A difficult argument to counter!
Hahaha! Yeah, I know. I was coming from a different issue that bothers me. A cultural thing here in Argentina. No one wants to work here but everyone wants to be a millionare. Lol
@@MandyCaneLane No worries. You recognised some home truths in what Karl was saying and needed to vent. It's healthy... also entertaining... and a little educational too.
Mandy, the only thing I can think karl has started with was some time ago they announced that the water in London had been drunk about 5 times, upstream from London, processed and returned to the River again before someone in London drinks it.
Lmao! 🤣🤣🤣
@@MandyCaneLane I have the same birthdate as Karl, is it time I started worrying?
Hey ! I'm All Caught Up. I Really Like Your Reactions to Ricky Gervais Show So Much. that I Binge Watched All of Your Reactions. P.S. I like your Blue Streak in your hair.
Well thank you very much! 🤗
I understand what he was trying to say with the noises. Hes basically saying that things have repeats of the same noises. For example. In his mind, hes thinking about maybe 5 different types of chickens. If 3 of those types of chickens sound like chickens. His mind is wanting the other 2 types of chickens to sound different because he feels like the chicken noise has been used too much already. He also thinks that animals make up their own noise and they cant think of any new noises to make because they've "ran out of noises" so they just make the same noise. I have no idea if this even makes sense, its much harder to explain than i thought it would be 🤣. I understand what he means though. Hes talking shit but i understand it 😂
Christ! I have never seen you laugh so hard! WOW! Excellent.
If any time has come close, Karl is always involved! 🤣🤣
So many great moments in this episode! I loved watching you totally lose it towards the end
It was simply too much 🤣🤣🤣
Karl's brother was also on tv, there's a side quest for you 😂
🤪🤣
I know this is a minor thing, but frogs do make different noises. The ribbit noise everyone knows is just the noise made by the Pacific Chorus frog.
Double-glazed just means instead of one pane of glass as a window there's two back to back with tiny bit of space in the middle...You must just have another name for it, maybe PVC or something.
Laughing while getting better. Pleasure and pain. Sounds like a good life. Like eating a yogurt while stubbing your toe. 😂
Lmao, I hate yogurt so that is double torture to me, but I get your point! You gotta take the good with the bad 🤪
In Ricky's defence in regard to the snow plumbing thing. In the UK there's many people who live in rural areas. So when it's snowing or really icy it can be tricky. Like you could live in a little village about 10 miles away from the main city center and the roads can be atrocious. For a contary that gets as much snow as we do we really don't know how to cope.
Thanks for 'covering the Karl quota' for the next few days! Mandy: "I'm with Karl on this." My day is complete.
Haha! Trust me when I say : my pleasure!!!
Hair looks bad ass Mandy!! Love it!
Thank you very much! 😌
if you pause at 15:10 at the right moment Mandy and Ricky are pulling the same face lol also great reaction as always loves ya miss Cane
Lol!
His brother will be mentioned more as the series goes on
I have no idea about soundwaves or whatever, but maybe he means all combinations of pitch, tone, loudness, and whatever else have all been used at least five times each, based on the number of possible sounds and size of the universe?
I have no idea. I'm trying, Karl.
On my 13th hour of work and it's being a frustrating grind tonight. So happy to have a new Karl reaction to listen to :D
🙌🏻
I'm pretty sure Karl saw the lyre bird video, where it replicates chainsaw, car, and camera noises, and took away the completely wrong message as per usual.
I heard in 2023 that every noise has now been used 6 times.
Double glazed windows aren't sound proof lol she would hear the door still. Karl making excuses 😅. Also on the beetle is liquorice thing apparently when I was a very small child I ate some brown paint because I thought it was chocolate 😅
OMG! 😵
With the noises i think he ment the frequency of the tone… from high pitched to low tone…
It seems to me Argentinians know how to appreciate life. That sounds awesome!
That’s what I was thinking. How is that a bad thing! Life is about enjoying it. We need to get rid of this Victorian mindset that working hard for someone else is virtuous. It was an idea planted to make working class people not question the shit deal they’ve been given. When you’re on your death bed would you rather be able to brag about putting in 80 hours last week, or about the day you spent with your friends. Hard work doesn’t equal reward, it equals millionaires extracting more wealth from people they underpay.
@@sara-jayn Exactly! If you want to work hard, good for you, but most people would rather have more free time to spend on other things besides work. Also40 hours work week is unproductive and outdated me thinks
Ummm... I can't explain the last 100 years of Argentine history and economy in a comment, but no. Argentinians have got it all wrong resulting in more poverty than ever before. More than half the kids here are poor and underfed and there are more and more homeless people now dying from the cold. It is a huge cultural problem that you kind of have to live here to understand.
It's great to see you laughing again, Mandy - Karl always cheers one up! I didn't know he had an older brother but I reckon you could be his gorgeous bqby sister! Haha 😜😅🙏
Lol, I feel like I should be insulted 🤣🤣
I've never seen you not bubbly and fun. Do you have other modes?
Hope you're feeling super soon.
Yes, I have bitchy mode, (usually once a month) and I hate everything mode, but that one is quite fleeting. Comes and goes in a few hours. Lol 🤪
I loved the way you totally broke down with laughter. There’s nothing as cathartic as a good laugh
My god, it was too much! 🤣🤣
Kar'ls Brother was in fly on the wall documentary about living on benefits and being un employed. You should be able to find it on your tube. Although he has sadly passed, he had lots of Karl's traits and came across with warmth, just didn't get that lucky break in life that Karl got I suppose. However, I do think Karl has a very high IQ and it's masked by his working Klass upbringing to a degree. He's a comedy genius as is his timing, and I believe he has a quality of delivering comedy that makes us all think its completely unintentional, when its not, its just been executed so perfectly by him and he's deceived us all.
The noise thing: He is thinking of 'sound' as if it were an alphabet (I don't know why, that's where his mind went) as opposed to say like the infinite possible numbers between 0 and 1. So because it's a finite list in his mind, he is assuming that there are more entities & objects in existence so ergo it's inevitable that a 'noise' from that finite list would be used multiple times by different things because there are no other possibilities outside the list. Like as an analogy an orchestra of 36 people with only 15 kinds of instruments available.
In case you missed it, Karl never really had an education of significance, so whenever he indulges in intellectual or abstract thought it won't pan out for him.
Also I'm not sure, but I think in one of his shows he had an IQ test & he scored around 95 or something, so so don't be too annoyed if you don't understand something he says, it's probably because there's nothing to understand anyway. Bless him.
There's a yt video of Karl's brother
The show he is in is called "Benefit Busters" . First episode. 2009
@@Lnch4ALion yea I couldn't remember the programme, cheers 👍
I think he means, there's only so many sounds that can be made within the spectrum of sound. like how there's only so many colours XD
But what is with the 5? Lol
@@MandyCaneLaneWell that's just Karl BS, it all is 😂
There's footage of Karl's brother on TH-cam somewhere as he was on a TV programme/documentary once
Mandy towards the end of this vid, someone seems like they was going 'p themselves'...hmm Mandy "E-mama-mama. E-mama-mama, ma" 😋😆😆😆😆😆
Mandy!... estabas media loquita en este video pero te ves bien cute así.🤣 Todos tenemos algo de locos en esta vida.🤣🤣🤣😘
Jaja, gracias, supongo! 🤪🤗
I'm eating some Tic Tacs while watching this.
The tic tac incident was last week mate, this week is all about the noise phenomenon
The place Karl fucks up is the 2nd call, where he should have change his mind
removing half my brain so i can button my own shirt brb
🤣🤣🤣 You will no longer be able to play the piano though!
Very interesting insight into Argentinian culture.
That was contagious Mandy 😂😂
Oops, sorry! 🤣🤪
As a Canadian I heartily endorse not driving in dangerous weather. We don't need to make blood sacrifices to the U-bend factory. Also, in this completely hypothetical scenario, she's making a huge assumption about the weather and road conditions at two separate locations.
