Comedians have made entire careers on the back of a single joke that's not half as funny as an offhand comment from Karl Pilkington.
VypaUK Nish Kumar, Russell Howard, basically everyone on channel 4
Bert Kreischer and the machine Story
@@josephbamber5403 Dude I was going to comment exactly this until I expanded the comments. Holy shit.
@@fellowfleshbag1085 hahaha i know he's Joe Rogan's friend and all the machine story is the only time i've laughed at something he's said
@@josephbamber5403 Yeah beat me to it, i have no idea how that clown has a career in comedy. If not for JRE he would have been a flash in the pan been and gone years ago.
Karl always referring to Steve when he talks about freaks is probably the funniest running joke of all time
Him being insecure about the way he looks is a blessing.
Pretty sure Steve is filming this too because they both look up to the right when Karl says 'Steve Merchant?' and Karl smiles and Ricky says 'we'll cut that' whilst dying of laughter loll
@@dyerwantsumgas how have I only just noticed this omfg
Goggle-eyed type thing 😂
@@SamuelBlack84 Eyes that pop out of your 'ead...... Steve
"Singing happy birthday for the 8th time that day"
Karl is absolutely on the comedy top
That line slipped past me at first, now that I got it, I'm dying :))
He is a comedy top ;^)
cry laughed at that
That was and always will be my favourite statement from this interview. I died laughing when I first heard it 😂😂😂
such a brilliant line
"So what's a freak to you?"
"Just summat that you look at and do a double take....Steve Merchant"
😂😂😂
Tamsin 😂😂😂
Karl can be savage! Loved that comment!
this destroyed me it was so astral
Tamsin gets me every time 😂😂
😂😂😂🤣🤣
I’m still watching this 13 years later and I miss Karl being on shows and interviews. I bet he’s sitting on a good pile of cash, re-grouting his kitchen over and over again.
He did a recent interview where he talked about how he's been wasting lots of time trying to create a perfect lawn.
Richard Richmond can you possibly link a video or something similar? I would really like to watch that. Please and Thankyou.
Re-grouting his kitchen and using a plunger to get the slugs out of his sink drain over and over again.
He is doing his own show now, it's called "sick of it"
Going for a second season this year
He’s been on the two shots podcast recently, it’s on TH-cam and a great listen
This video will go down in internet history as the greatest interview in the world. long live Karl Pilkington.
marcotoni231 yep
Touche because I read this in the future you horrible jackass
καμιά ψυχή bruh
And ricky
@IslamToMan RabiesToDogs 2005
Karl "I'm not having a go" Pilkington
Karl 'everything and everyone in this world exist just to annoy me" Pilkington
'avin*
“The Little Round-headed Buffoon That Is “Karl Pilkington.”
Alright?
You are 'avin a laugh!
Imagine being able to make an international comedian laugh hysterically so easily...
Exactly! Karl had Ricky on the ropes the whole time.
@@FarkasJnr so did Steve. Steve just got sick of Ricky taking all the cash
@Derek Knight how Steve used to get so pissed of about it😂 And his chumminess with Jonathan Ross!
To be fair, Ricky does laugh at just about anything. (not a criticism)
Yeah. Ultimately Steve got his voiceovers. Karl got his new kitchen, and breakout shows on Sky. All three are deserved millionaires and are still close friends. Their on-air squabbles in the XFM years led to that. I squabble with my best mates. It's fun. The podcast wouldn't work nowadays, because Karl has learned so much although he always had a wisdom about him which superseded the average Manc. But he's blossomed too much now to take the piss any more. "Moaning Of Life" and "Sick of It" were both fantastic television shows with no involvement from Merchant or Gervais, much as I love them.
i came close to pissing myself when he was running through his favourite 'freaks'. Just the way he was unveiling them "..Normal family, standing around.....with the little mate."
The little mate got me😂
Absolutely incredible! My favorite moment.
Saying happy birthday for the 8th time that day haha
@@jamiemak the only time you see people stand round a piano with someone
"says he's 120, probably about 40" is a legendary comedian level joke lol
Facts. 😂 🤣 😭 😂 I
To quote Karl, a stopped clock is still right twice a day.
Jrezky common saying
what about "there they are sitting 'round the piano, singin' happy birthday for the eighth time"
I think "There hasn't been one publication from a monkey" is up there too!
“How do they break it to them, just slip it in? Right we’ve got one leg out.....and here’s the other two!” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I cracked up at that too. His facial expression added to the line 😂
Gavin Moore oh shit it’s Gavin your mate is looking for him meet him in Saint Denis
The best bit of this is the facted he said "how do they break it to them" like he couldn't see anything wrong with calling them freaks....Karlism at its best
@@mozeyad4573 what the hell i was just watching a video about that lol weird coincidence
Nowadays they'd see the 3 legs on a scan, I wonder if anyone has that in modern times? You never hear of someone with 3 legs anymore. Kinda a shame, cus evolution might have meant for us to grow more and be faster etc!
13 years later and karl is still the funniest human on this planet. He truly is a legend
fr
17 now mate
I never get tired of this.
Coloring Book so true
me too, countless times!
I’ve seen it so many times and I still piss myself laughing. “Singing Happy Birthday for the eighth time that day...” 😂
would you like to run through some of your favourite freaks with us 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
After 8 years, is it fair to say you're tired of it now?
Karls been obsessed with elephant man for so long.
the elephant maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan, IS my FAVOrit FILM!....songs of..
@@montypython4ever songs of phrase! One of the best. My favourite is "daddy nevergonna stooooop robbin' from teeeeeeelephone boxboxboxbox
@@MistyLMR you never see an old man eat a marrrrrrrrrrrrrssss ba ba ba
DeathEgg666 another amazing one. Oh Karl.
@@MistyLMR i love him :D
6:00 "Sat down the piano singing happy birthday for the eighth time that day..." lmao
Remember he's not having a go 🤦♂️😂
is that a reference about how fast they age ?
@unkn0wn4041 no it's the kid with the aging disease
“But the little Mate” lmao
@@abdihassan7208 yes
Ricky's laugh is contagious in this
It's like crack
A lot of people love his laugh, but I can’t stand it. Watching this after all of The Ricky Gervais Shows tells me why.
Rickys laugh is contagious anywhere
@@jamesthe-doctor8981 I have this laugh unfortunately or fortunately depending where you stand.
I love his laugh
The reason Karl is so funny is that he says everything with complete conviction. He doesn't lie to make a story funny he just believes everything he says.
He also is stupid / genius enough to go along with Ricky's random ideas, most people would have told him to shutup after he asks them what would happen if you had to mate with a squid.
You dont have to belive something to say it in a convincing manner.
freaks.... Steve Merchant
Oh hes done him again!
"thought he looked a bit like a cartoon"
an actual and fictional mutant
@@AssCrackPooSweat Play a record!
Goggle-eyed freak!
Karl is a very interesting example of a certain way of thinking. He is a common sense philosopher. He has an intuitive, natural born wisdom which seems to serve him well. The way he states his beliefs and views is very forthright, practical and funny as hell. I've tried to put into words what makes Karl unique and that is the best I can do.
Play a record
He’s doing the best he can. It’s amazing he quit his job after XFM and began walking dogs for money then the podcasts started
@@ghostshipone he never actually walked dogs. Just talked about wanting to do it.
I’m still convinced he’s a comedian.
Yeah. He’s an idiot.
......with their little mate......
"there hasn't been one publication from a monkey"
Karl Pilkington is an absolute genius.
Ricky: I think the oldest man in the world is chinese, 120.
Karl: Yeah, he says he's 120... he's probably about 40.
I laughed as loud as Ricky.
The teacher in the Karate Kid, he was only 32
If a 40 year old Chinese man looks 120, how old does an eighty year old look?
Yes we all watched it and heard it, why not try typing something someone hasn't said, like something original mate ya know?
02:15
@@fitzwellingtonbouregard3505 lol why not let me make mine..
‘Singing happy birthday for the eighth time that day’ will always be the funniest joke ever. The fact Karl keeps and straight face and Ricky bursts out laughing makes it so damn funny 🤣
Wym? Karl isn’t acting. He doesn’t have to try to keep a straight face, because he’s sincere
@@kierangraham2724bro how dumb do you think he is jfc. Even if he was dumb, he would laugh when rick laughs and ask why he finds it so funny. He doesn't because it's part of the act
17 years ago and still the funniest thing ever produced. Not a chance you'd get away with this today. Sublime comedy
you could easily get away with this today, what are you on about?
@@frank9367there are literally petitions to take down Ricky’s latest comedy tours.
The look on Karl's face when Ricky said most people don't look like a tennis ball 😂 07:40
😁😂 I know!
So where were we?! 😂
I don't know how he keeps a straight face.
You mean like a tennis ball with a face looking back at you?
He was having flashbacks to Auntie Nora
Ricky getting put with Karl at XFM might be one of the greatest coincidences ever
It's called fate
Seeing “17 years ago” is really fucking with my brain
He is my favourite person...."three legged juggler?....whats the point of that?..." Best thing ever said by anyone in history.
I remember watching this for the first time at university back in 2007, I had no idea I was going to end up listening to these guys every single day for the rest of my life and love every single second hahaha
every day? are you okay mate? :/ worried for you man. I think people might be looking for/missing you.
The conversation about infinity could go on forever
In which Karl will eventually understand and concede, given the definition of infinity.
@@krankschaft Actually Karl would understand an infinite amount of times, not understand an infinite amount of times...& type "Romeo and Juliop" an infinite amount of times
@@Crunch_Buttsteak I think he would never understand it, even in infinite amout of time.
M the analogy is possibly better suited to the “infinite amount of monkeys” side as it is more understandable. Think about it like this if it is an infinite amount of monkeys the works will be produced straight away as everything ever written will be typed whereas with a singular monkey it will not be produced straight away but eventually even if it takes years it will be typed due to the nature of infinity
Its this simple no they would never come up with Sakespear not even one page...
A legend was born
He was born on the first XFM shows about three years before this
I'd love to hear his hospital radio shows he got fired for.
3 yeard more wis4 u d noe my dellow sunn
They should release a CD box set of the radio show.
Man I really miss Karl Pilkington. Wish they would do some kind of podcast again. We need it now more than ever
Exactly. I wonder what he's doing now
@@JF-sb5mo probably doing DIY or something
@@connorbool6179 grouting up a ladder lol
@@TheRuddster95 probably fixing the shit Suzanne fucks up
@@417Owsy She's heavy handed!
It's 2022 and I've still never seen an old person eating a Twix.
I saw an old man carrying a Twix last week i even talked my GF into following him round the corner to see if he would eat it. He got in his car stil carrying it.
@@bazglsgw1208 wow that's a great story I believed you until you said you had a girlfriend. Badumm tssss.
@@TheMan-WithNoName I shes actually my fiance and she also thinks KP is brilliant that is why she followed the old man with the Twix with me. Just coz you cant get a bird there is no need for that . Dont be jelous btw.
@@TheMan-WithNoName your profile pic for TH-cam is definitely your girlfriend
@@bazglsgw1208 sorry guys it was just a joke I thought watching a Ricky and Karl vid you would take the joke as intended. I even emphasised it was a joke with the drumbeat at the end. I meant no harm dude. Why you take umbrage with an obvious joke?
'Saying happy birthday...for the 8th time that day' hhaha! floored me
Albert Holden I don’t get it 😂🙈
@@lunamoona1645 Because progeria causes faster aging.
i lost my shit when said that
@@shenkeey that makes it 3x funnier omg
Karl is the pragmatist and Ricky is the philosopher. That's why they work so well together
Exactly this. People don’t realise that it’s the two together that makes it funny. Karl is hilarious but wouldn’t be anywhere near as much without Ricky asking him the right things.
“Singing happy birthday for the 8th time that day” oh my god I was crying with laughter 😂😂
The most naturally funny man that ever existed imo
i just love how gervais respects how brilliant pilkington actually is
"Singing happy birthday for the 8th time that day" will forever be the funniest line ever delivered!
13 years later, still gold, still new people stumbled across this and becoming completely invested Karl fans
"Sat round the piano, singing happy birthday for the 8th time that day"
That killed me. Holy shit! Pilkington is a genius!
Yes but not if it's scripted, as someone has pointed out earlier
@@mrmeg01
It doesn't look scripted
Monarque
Dude please don’t watch superman then
@@mrmeg01 its not scripted, no one pointed it out, they just guessed. Gervais addressed this once in an xfm show. He said it took them a month sometimes to write 30 mins of script for The Office, so how long would it take them to write 2 hours of drivel every week for xfm? He even challenged the person doubting him to call in with 5 random questions to ask Karl. (the guy never did). Karl is genuine. Another way you can tell is look at those times he's been on the British morning shows. The way they laugh at his comments you can tell they are unexpected.
Also, Gervais said, if they had created a character as good as Karl Pilkington would they have let him do his own show Idiot Abroad? Hell no, he would be kept under wraps and used for their own tv shows.
@@mrmeg01you’re on another planet if you think they scripted this much material.
I was an alcoholic who woke up one morning having completely fucked up all my relationships with everyone i cared about the night before and felt completely hopeless and suicidal. I then went on youtube found this video and suddenly life seemed better again. Haven't touched a drop of alcohol since. Thanks Karl.
Matt Stocks everything good now?
Matt Stocks Keep at it man.
Good man, hope it's still going well mate.
Lol. If only it where that easy for everyone else..
Typical TH-cam comments lmao
Thank you, Ricky Gervais! Thank you for introducing Karl to the world. Screw the Dos Equis guy -- Karl Pilkington is: "The Most Interesting Man in the World."
Nick Jasper He’s just your average everyday moron!!
@@hazelwalsh3269 nah.
@@hazelwalsh3269 hes much more than that. My brother is a bit like karl sometimes but I love karl loads more
“They doctors called him the Elephant Man so when he turned up they wouldn’t waste time in the filing system”
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂
Gabriel Beaver I was in stitches for a solid three minutes from that, didn’t even get to the “bring in some more bottles” bit
@@JohnSmith-ib4zi Elephants eat buns 'n that. The Elephant Man probably also like buns. Alrite?
@@JohnSmith-ib4zi I, too, hope this successfully (or satisfactorily) explained after all these years. ✌️😄
"You just look at 'em and you do a double take... Steve Merchant"
Why has this just been recommended to me in 2019?
Edit: Better late than never, I can’t stop laughing.
I'm watching in June 2020 and it's still classic. Carl never acts, hes just himself. Legend
Fitting that Karl’s first word to the world was “arite”
You can sense the lack of Steve, their vibe is different. Steve really does contribute to the genius of the podcasts.
@Shizy Mcnizy Gaming didn't say it wasn't funny. Just said different.
I didn't say you didn't say I said anything, what say you?
was responding to the people above you
Fuck youse
@Shizy Mcnizy Gaming Smerch tries to show his intelligence over Ricky as well, just that Ricky is incredibly smart so he doesnt try as much. People rip on Smerch too much in my opinion, they all bring an element which coincide perfectly and bring comedic gold.
"You never see a 35 year old one" hahahaha
I met Karl today at the Trafford Centre in Manchester, he was signing An Idiot Abroad 2. Best day of my life!
how great is that alright
14:53 I love the usual moments where Ricky busts out laughing as much as the next person but his confused double take at Karl changing his answer has to be one of my favourite reactions from this.
The single frame of rickys wide eye astonishment at 18:41 cracks me up in the exact same way
I've got the same book. It came free with a old copy of FHM. It's called "carnival of the grotesque".
I had that, red cover.
It's a pretty disturbing book , weird stuff gruesome stuff , a guy with his face stuck on a spiked fence number 1 is weird ha
@@sirbee7479 That's not even a freak what the fuck.
Haha I had that too! Wish I still had it, brilliant
Bizarre magazine was the one for gruesome stuff, I fucked a girl from one of FHM's hottest girls books
"Get some more buns in."
As in: Buy some more bread rolls, elephant man is coming round.
Brilliant. I love this man.
@B.T. 333 probably specific to elephants
Elephant man liked buns, in the film
Bums not buns
@@nuttynick2011 ...no, it's definitely buns
@B.T. 333 Its in the film
I honestly can’t get enough of these two together. It just never gets old to me. Karl’s deadpan delivery with Ricky’s wit is just gold. I don’t think it would work either if they weren’t English…
I don't know how him and Ricky can sit in a room together talking pure shite and he doesn't laugh once.
"Sitting around the piano, singing Happy BIirthday for the 8th time that day" absolutely sent me into tears
I just cant work out that joke. Why is it funny?
I love that Steve was the one that gave Karl the book of freaks.
A defection of sorts.
Two of the cleverest comedians ever. Love them both.
Karl isn’t a comedian, he’s just naturally funnier than all of them
I watch this video every few months. Simply for a laugh. KP filled that void, a gap in the market. The man's not changed his views 1 iota. The only thing that has changed is his bank balance and fair play. He cheers me up if I'm feeling down. And Rickys laugh is just the tonic required to help you smile especially during these mad times. Much love DS x
Very well said
I love how Elephant Man is a brilliant film, according to Karl, because it's sad and makes you go "oh. Got a big 'ead"
7:12
I read that In karls accent 😂😂
Perfectly Spherical
Karl was never an unwitting comedian. He knew he had a gift but nor was he ever bothered about success. The confidence to argue (in earnest) with two successful celebs on a radio show and absolutely be happy to fade into obscurity is what singles KP out as the legend he is. He never gave a sh!t and that's why he won a billion people over.
"Singing happy birthday for the 8th time that day."
Lewis Bant That was one of the most hilarious comments that went unnoticed. In progerian syndrome, the person ages prematurely. That implied he ages so fast he celebrated 8 birthdays in a single day! 😂😂😂
Phil Jansen yeah we understand the fucking joke

Or just watch the whole video ……
Just revisted this after about a decade. It doesn't get old. Crying with laughter
i don't think there's a video out there that makes me cry with laughter more than this, absolute gem!
come back and watch this every now and again just fur the craic
“There hasn’t been one publication from a monkey.” ROFL
They even been here longer than us 😂😂😂 he is brilliant
"Singing happy birthday for the 8th time that day." His face is priceless. You can see how proud of himself he is when he cracks a proper joke. Oh Dilkington.
O man....i am on a Karl marathon. Just what i needed, rough couple of weeks and now i smile again. What an awesome combination , Karl and Ricky. Keep Steven out of it, this is just the right kind of combo. Cheered me up alright.
17 years old today!
Almost did a double-take looking at the age of the video.
It's great that this man has made Ricky Gervais laugh more times than anyone else
I love all three of them in their own way! They mould together so well!
3:10 “You know that I’m into freaks an’ that”
Imagine that as a statement 😂😂😂
Sounds like a pornhub search history. 😂
I can never get tired of this interview. I watch it often and have been for the last 5 years.
Still watching in 2019. Best video of all time.
It's obvious how much Gervais loves Pilkington. Beautiful friendship.
14 years on and this is still one of my favourite videos ever lol
I love how Karl Pilikington is taking thr piss off people without him even really meaning too, just brilliant:)
Still in love with this to this day
What a find he was
One of TH-cam's best videos. Hands down
6:04 "With uh lil Mate!" Might be the funniest reveal ever lol especially with Karl shoeing Ricky and seeing his reaction!!
Karl Pilkington is the best human with no filter no judgement just pure need more people like him!
2019, 13 years later and this is still hilarious
This was from 2004
He's a lot more gormless here. Has more hair though.
Thank you for putting this on here
I’m just now Discovering Karl. And I’m 32?!?! How did I miss all of this… I guess because I live in the US. Man I love ❤️ Karl!!!
I don't think anybody's made Ricky laugh nearly as much as Karl has😂
I absolutely love karl, he helps me get through the day
Hear hear!
Karl is so effortlessly funny. It's amazing to me.
Zero effort, zero shits, zero pride. He's amazing.
I watched this interview stoned years ago, and everything Karl said made perfect sense to me
Right, play a record!
You’re talking shit again
Karl, you're an idiot
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
singing happy bday for the 8th time... omg i almost died when he said that
Years later, still my favorite interview ever recorded - this is Library of Congress material.
You can pull up that freaks magazine on the internet pretty easily, it’s actually pretty disturbing he’d carry that around with him, he’s such a genuinely unique character, the way he was revealing them and Gervais reacts it’s such a naturally hilarious effects, Pilkers never fails to make me chuckle.
Karl's thought process about the nature of infinity had me creasing up. Comedy gold.
7 years later...hasn't changed a bit, no ego or anything, just simply brilliant
He's actually adorable and so interesting
16 years ago!
