Climbing up on that wing took real balls, much respect to karl
The most appealing thing about the M6 is any one of the exits 👌
Junction 19
tebay services
The M6 is like the UKs Route 66. Lined with beautiful KFC drive-throughs, a Starbucks every 8 metres, trucks transporting Lithuanian goat milk to Wigan and miles and miles of bland grey nothing. It really does sum up the whole experience of the UK.
57% of the people who drive on the M6 purposefully drive onto the opposite lanes and straight into a bollard to just end it all. It has the lowest survival rate of any stretch of road on earth and it's all down to spontaneous driver suicides.
Lol, the M6 is in no way comparable to Route 66. This is coming from a Brit.
I was on the M6 today. The Lake District is the probably the most interesting bit to drive through but still I agree, it's nothing comparable to Route 66. The rest of it is fairly boring in my opinion.
LOL
LOOOL
The m6 sums up the whole of the UK yeah? Try visit Scotland mate not so much of a shithole as England is
OMG Spencer you need to watch how quick you say “we’ve hugged before” lmao! I had to rewind 🤣🤣
Nothing is appealing about the M6
You should travel the m25. 👵👍
Or route 66 giving the history of it
You’ve obviously never stopped at Keele services.🙂
I am a big fan of the m4
The best bit is where you get off it
This is the American version of this episode. In the original UK version Karl sings Van Halen's "Jump" on stage. You can find the clip on TH-cam.
Is that not the moaning of life?
@@lawlini1979 no there is a scene of him singing from this episode
@@andrew348 i know. That's why I'm saying is the singing from the moaning of life and not this? 🤷♂️ Just asking for a friend.
@@lawlini1979 no, the other user just told you, it's from this episode
@@bradders9743 alright calm down. I didn't know if he'd made a mistake 😱
37:11 this is what’s unique, interesting and cool about the US, is you can travel to another state and it’s like being in a totally different country 😂😂
Eddie Izzard did a bit about how often Americans say awesome. When it’s over used it becomes meaningless.
He talked about how Americans say these hotdogs are awesome. And when they landed on the moon…
Houston: “how is it up there?”
Neil Armstrong: “it’s awesome”
Houston: “what like a hotdog?”
I think for most Brits the only reference point for an American beach is Baywatch!
No.. 🤦♂️
He’d rather sit on the wing of a plane as it does loops than a normal bungee jump? Karl’s logic. Don’t forget Karl covers a lot more of the US in the Moaning of Life, pencil that in your diary folks👍
In/on a plane, you will never feel that free falling acceleration knot in your stomach. I have vertigo, get really nauseous when looking down from a high place and would never do a bungee. Have parachuted out of an airplane though, where you have no feeling of falling, since the forward momentum of flying will gradually turn into downwards momentum and there is no eerie feeling of acceleration/falling, just floating. The worst bit was stepping out of an airplane into nothingness.
@@raifthemad that's dope! I have insane vertigo but trying to build the courage for a skydive, your comment helps.
Chimpanzee that! He's gone and written it down again! AHHH!
@@raifthemad You'd feel a bit after the apex of the backflip they do in the video haha
Watching you two with anything Karl related is by far the highlight of my day!!! Can’t wait for the next one ✌️ ❤️
The good part of the M6 IMO is from J36 (Windermere/Lake District) to J40 (Penrith/northern Lake District/north Pennines).I always enjoy driving through the valley between the Shap fells and the Howgill fells, followed by the climb to Shap summit with a panorama of the eastern Lake District fells to the west and the northern Pennines to the east. The rest of it is a slog that has to be endured if you are doing a routine/functional journey, it is the headquarters of the centre lane ownership club and the join the motorway with free flowing traffic at a maximum speed of 40 mph society.
You should watch when Karl sings jump by Van Halen in his thick Manc accent with the glee school it’s hilarious. The dance he does in here isn’t in the original broadcast
I'm that English I had to ffw through the cuddle party. Great work guys.
34:30 i can relate because of frequently doing archery and hitting the target with a traditional bow (with no gadgets to help either) knowing you did it all yourself is really satisfying. I like guns aswell but don’t get to use them often unfortunately in the UK
The M6 goes all the way up the west side of the England, passing Wales and the Lake District (worth a visit) and will take you to Scotland (very worth visiting). It can be a traffic nightmare though in holiday season.
Getting off the M6 is the only appealing aspect of that road.
Your faces when he was on the wing.
Perfect.
Billy Connolly visited the bottle farm when he did a show about route 66.
You guys need to watch ‘Derek’. Features Karl and Ricky, written by Ricky.
I would have done the wing walk whilst dressed as Mr. Leather
i live just off the M6, Lancaster. lovely grey clouds, oaps and students.
I grew up a mile from the first part of the M6 - Junction 27. If I'm travelling home from the South, as soon as I get on the M6, I feel like I'm nearly home. Its quite scenic in places, especially north of Preston and on up to Scotland.
What’s exciting about the M6? Nothing! Unless you like being an hour late to your destination because of traffic.
The M6 is where happiness goes to die. I would drive it every Friday and then return every Monday. Did that for two years.
i was looking forward to this one to see your guys take on it
❤️😂 brilliant fellas🤣I have to say that is the thing, I/we the brits (maybe) do think that there is a hugging commune at every stop off in America. But you boys straight away say that isn’t America😂👌🏽we are the same and so different all at the same time, I just like that you are embracing our weird and wonderful ways without castigation and with much love and laughter. Love it all boys keep it coming🫶🏽👌🏽🤘🏽❤️
"Do you like americans? No they get on me nerves"
If you know you know!
Be absolutely buzzing waiting for this 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Watching this with you guys somehow makes this even better. Great work! 🇬🇧🇺🇸
Been waiting for this 1 great show lads watched all your videos with Karl big fan keep up the good work 👍🏻
I live right near the M6 in Salford, Manchester.
Spencer talks about Glee clubs at high school, "....there were too many catty bitches around...." - and then there were the girls, right, Spencer? 👍🤣👍
You two should also bear in mind that Karl's just a typical Mancunian and they're prone to think that anything south of Birmingham is akin to being in the south of France and anything west of Blackpool is like being in California.
As someone who's lived most of his life in the northwest of England ( mostly in Greater Manchester and Lancashire ) as well as having spent several years in western Canada and in northern California I know through personal experience what I'm talking about. Most of what we glean about the U.S.A. and Canada here in the U.K. we get from our telly-boxes and when confronted with the realities of what it's like to be there by seeing such things as those that Karl's experiencing it comes as something of a surprise when we actually visit the U.S.A.
Funny, my life went from Nottingham to Quebec to Southern California. Globetrotters unit! 😂
I agree, @@solarwinds9363, and I've seen more of North America by Greyhound bus and train than I have of the U.K. because I've never been to Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland but have flown over all three of those countries. We real international jet-setters have to stick together, don't we? ✌😎✌🇬🇧🇨🇦🇺🇸
@@Phil_A_O_Fish 🇳🇱🇬🇧🇨🇦🇺🇲. I collected 1 more flag! 🤪
I just about figured out they were singing The Police - Everything She Does is Magic. OMG. It was like finger nails on a chalkboard. Lol.
Found you off the Bob Mortimer videos and as a Brit I love seeing you react to our strange culture. The vibe with these videos is so good and welcoming, keep up the stuff
I highly recommend you take a look at the past videos Spencer & Daneil have done. I highly recommend their rugby stuff, as well as their dives into Brit comedy. 10/10 across the board
When I was a kid you really could only get a coconut at the fair, we'd spend a fortune to win our once a year coconut, it was a whole event when we got it home to eat 🤣😁😁
25:45 "I have to return some videotypes" is always a good one.
18:40 “the next day I’ll just go to a gun range and get it off” 😂😂
Lol love it, or doing the bench press, weights or something else masculine
Yeah it is weird, I’m usually adaptable with what people greet like, unless if it’s a bit weird. Depending on my mood I might even try to “outweird” them. I’ve just realised I’ve said that 3 times now lol
As someone who regularly travels from the south coast to see my mum in the NW, I can confidently state that there is NOTHING appealing about the M6.
The Route 66 ends at the Santa Monica Pier not in Barstow.
The M6 is to be avoided at all costs, 2 lanes solid with slow moving lorries, with 1 lane left for the millions of cars......
The best thing about the M6 is the toll road to bypass Birmingham. Haaaaaaa. First.
Lol at your faces during the cuddle party you guys look really tense now I see what the man was on about in the 10 things not to do in the USA video lol
20:18 I get why some people choose not to wear shoes, but I’d have to agree. It has to be the right terrain for it, even in the UK there’s things like dog poo, seagull/pigeon poo, broken glass and all sorts of other horrible things I don’t want anywhere near my feet
Isn't the M6 much like I-95 in America? Route 66 is a secondary highway from before they had expressways. It's just a particularly long route numbered one.
Exactly
@@EmbraceTheSuck21 WOW! I didn't expected you guys to respond and so quick, too! Lol I'm still watching this react and I'm just up to the "cuddle party". I've seen these all before, here in America when it used to be on Netflix. I can't wait to see what you think about the rest of this episode! Lol I just found you guys and am going to check out your podcast, too!
I'm gonna search for that Amish Outlaws band after this vid...
Whats special about the M6 Preston bypass Is, I live right next to it haha.
I’m adamant Karl has some form of social anxiety. Not wanted to be hugged is exactly how I would be as I don’t like much contact.
Ricky is genius with the setup! He gets him to agree to “one of the two..” sounding crestfallen tO Karl like he had found the loophole, until he couldn’t get out of the climatic ending (either one would have been Brilliant 😂).
Embrace the suck and Karl Pilkington and then the FA cup final. A perfect Saturday. Also Daniel saying I watched glee by accident once is the funniest thing I've heard this year 🤣🤣
Ha! Great reaction! Fun episode!
Daniel looked genuinely offended at the thought of Glee being used to represent his country. Could feel it through the screen haha xD
LOL‼️ I have never seen 2 men so uncomfortable watching people hugging ‼️🤣😂🤣😂 y'all are hilarious 😂
We have a route 66, it runs from Middlesbrough to Penrith.
I'm from England.... you would definitely NOT be cuddling up to a stranger here ! 😂😂
Well us Brits being Brits, can’t say there’s anything really appealing about the M6 other than the knowledge that you’ll end up somewhere decent by going on it.
That’s certainly one thing American highways have over our motorways, your highways have character everywhere you stop on it, little towns full of hospitable old folks, our motorways, utilitarian featureless means of getting from A to a distant B and occasionally you’ll see something interesting in the distance, or drive over a cool bridge, like the M6 as an example has a gigantic bridge over the Shipping Canal between Warrington and Manchester. Or the M5 with its Severn River Crossing over to Wales, or the Queen Elizabeth Bridge on the M25 (although more often than not, it’s rammed with heavy traffic).
This episode of An Idiot Abroad taught me everything I know about the USA.
I'm not a huge fan of season 3, would definitely watch you guys though. But you also definitely want to do The Moaning of Life, it's very similar but he travels to see how different cultures deal with major life events like death, marriage etc
imo they should have found a old Vanagon convertible, dealing with keeping it running, pulling down a dirt road and sleeping in it. all things that would make the experience.
Nothing is appealing whatsoever about the M6 lads. Endless Road works and traffic jams being the highlights tbh. Great reaction as always chaps!
They would be more interested in double or triple roundabouts and especially Americans driving through them... I'll never forget seeing an American driving through a triple roundabout and coming out on the wrong side of the road (I'm American btw).
@@andrew348 ha ha a terrifying moment no doubt!
40:16 *the Metal Gear Solid game over screen except Snake’s called Ronnie
18:04 "So, you're a shaker? Are you a hugger?"
"Ma'am, I'm a f____er."
The best thing about the M6 is that it takes you out of England and into Scotland ;-)
I think I laughed too hard at Daniel's "gold digger" comment at the end there 😂
Great reaction 👍
I still all these years later can't believe he done that plane stunt I would have done any of all of the bungee jumps combined over that
snakes are cold blooded and typically not out at night. I'd be more worried about the scorpions in the desert region at night
I’m glad you found the wing walk as funny as I did. I laughed so hard at that I couldn’t breathe. Absolutely hilarious. I thought I’d he mental, I’d rather dance with the boys. 😂😂😂😂😂
The UKs answer to Route 66 is the NC500 and actually people do come from all over the world to drive it. Its on the north coast of Scotland and 500 miles of some of the best driving roads in the world. You should react to Jeremy Clarkson and gang reviewing it on the Grand Tour season 3 episode 7 "A Well Aged Scotch".
You had us at "Best Driving Roads In The World"
He just never stops!!😂😂😂😂😂whinge, whinge, whinge,😂😂😂
Fun not in Karl’s vocabulary!🤣🤣🤣
The m6 takes you from England to Scotland
The m6 is good because you avoid Preston.
Monster Trucks was huge in The UK mid early 90s it found its way over here from the rise of the Trucks in the 80s... though you still get Monster Jam etc we are more of Tribalism hoilgistic passionate nation... its all the same animalistic barbaric traits of human nature when you branch it down just expressed differently.
Poor karl, as you guys have said since the start haha
Brilliant!
Carl finally does something to be proud of 👏👏👏
M6 is around 200 mile lol, main route north to south, is for me anyway cuz I live right near it
14:50 “There are so many catty b*t hes in theatre” oh god tell me about it drama in my last year of high school was an absolute hostage situation. We were spit into 2 groups and I was in the one that was like a prison camp, meanwhile there’s the group over there that I wanted to be in that was like a holiday camp!
Forget Stonehenge and Buckingham Palace. Every American needs to visit the M6 Preston bypass. Book early to avoid disappointment.
The craziest thing is that he'll never do the bungie jump, but would do that on a plane!
You guys should check out Travels with my father, it’s Jack Whitehall travelling around the world with his 82 year old dad and it’s hilarious he’s up there with Karl for awkwardness
Hey guys, greetings from ENGLAND. Can you guys get me a ticket for one of those hugging gatherings. I'd defo give that a go 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤗🤗🤗
the most appealing thing about the m6 is getting off it
Nothing is appealing about the M6 other than the shambolic driving you'll witness
The M6 would not impress you guys, it would just seem pretty small... When I visited the states (went to Nashville) I struggled to get used to the size of things. Main Street looked as wide as any of our motorways, and the freeway leading into Nashville was staggeringly big. Our motorways just seem dainty and cute by comparison.
The best thing about the M6 is it's the fastest route out of England and back to Scotland. Sorry, just had to say that 🤣
Absolutely loved this reaction.
Have you guys ever been to the UK ?
Dude I imported Cheetos as always wanted to try them. They cost me equivalent of $6 for a bag but omg so good. I’m so addicted. I’d be huge if I lived in the states. Totally accept you have the best snacks!!!!
Snacks/cheap food is one of America's specialties 😉🇺🇲
Why I do watch other people watching TV ? O yea Gogglebox 😂
The a1 is our route 66 in my opinion
I would've hugged and spooned with Valerie... "ahem"
The M6 Motorway = absolute misery gents
This was THE ONE. The last scene
Karl on the monster truck then plane. Omg, lmfao 🤣
"My high school's theatre department"..... If anything demonstrates the difference between you guys and us then that is it.
We call cars like that, pencil sharpeners.
I'm not sure about anyone else, just climbing onto the wing would be proof that adrenaline is brown and runny.
Make merchandise. I will buy a t-shirt that says "drive a smart car and you are gonna get hugged"
another word you can use instead of awesome would be mint, its how people in the UK say they llike somthing/think somthing is cool. Can also be used in other ways , for example if someone is attracted to another they might say 'there mint' as in there hot😂
The original of this was Karl dancing van halen but the band complained so they couldn’t show it in america
I have realised I am Karl Pilkington. I can fake all the dance, play happy and smile like a moron but inside I know I’m just wishing it to end.
That's most Brits, tbh. I've always been suspicious of people who claim to love "team building" exercises at work in front of the boss, I know they are lying bastards.
Guess it's true, American's don't get British sarcasm. He was saying no one gets excited about driving along it
M6 high point - it gets you away from Birmingham
M6 low point - it takes you to Birmingham
