I don't think anyone has ever been as unphased by success/fame as Karl. The fact he didn't try at all is a testament to how amazing a human being he is.
Goodness gracious, the amount of times I've heard Karl say he's doing tiling is outrageous. All the audiobooks, radio spots, tv series etc all mention Karl and his endless tiling. Whenever he moves house one of his boxes that needs ticking must be "is there an opportunity to do tiling here?", because he just never seems to stop haha!
Karl rightfully prioritises grouting over supervising the Bacon show on his day off. Unfazed by 8 missed calls and the host's interruption of his grouting he gets his gripe in, about his delayed pay, succinctly and without malice. An example to us all.
I find it ludicrous how they got paid more thank Karl for idiot abroad, and makes me wonder if Ricky just knows he's good for money. He knows he is funny and made money out of him, kind of disgusting. All I'm saying is if Karl was my supposed "best friend" I would definitely let him have more of the money for it, especially when I didn't do fuck all, just sent him places.
You can't beat honesty...thing that amazes me most about Karl is ,that he counters all sneaky questions of Ricky or Steve or anyone trying to take a piss at him..
Karl has gotta be one of the funniest people I have ever seen / heard on radio / TV. Not everyone ‘gets him’ but if you are on his wavelength in terms of humour he is absolutely hilarious.
It would end up with Karl doing all the work whilst Ricky sits around annoying him to breaking point... come to think of it, that does sound hilarious 😂
Karl, one of the few people on the planet (and maybe the only person) who can consistently say things at that perfect time that Gervais doesn't expect and makes Ricky laugh that famous laugh of his. Joy packed into a fraction of a second.
An Idiot Abroad is my comfort show of choice. I have probably watched the 3 series over at least 20 times yet never get bored. I like to just have it on the background kind of like The Simpsons when I was a kid.
Some people dont like Ricky Gervais, but hes a good fucking mate, brings Karl along and got him his own show with Three series and another show with 2 series and now Karl is worth over 2mil all thanks to Ricky. Nice one.
It was a symbiotic relationship, Karl provides the hilarious material, Ricky kind of acted as his agent before he was officially famous. Ricky also knows how to wind Karl up for comedic effect!
Telling him he's had the easiest ride of it like Ricky ain't made ludicrous amounts out of him. Ruddy cheek. Like Karl hasn't had to do all the travel, miss time with his family and friends, whilst Ricky and Steve have chilled in an office doing cut-aways.
Karl DOES play up to our expectations of him, especially in Idiot Abroad, but he IS also more like 'that' than people who don't know his body of work would believe. Can't wait for the next series, the skydiving bit should be hilarious.
Karl is spot on. Ricky says call so they immediately do. He wants his money but he has to wait years for it. And Ricky challenging him on his grouting is pissing ME off!
That ‘Jesus’ reminds me when that dog barked in Egypt ‘who owns that? Why is a dog so high up?’ … ‘It’s not gonna shut up that dog is it-‘ then a donkey joins in ‘oh f me, Jesus’ and Karl walks off 😂
@@EricLeafericson I think Ricky does know what a Dremel is but he was trying to be funny because Karl said "I got my Dremel out" and then Ricky says "You what? You got what out?" comedically implying that Dremel is another word for penis.
I don't understand that. Ricky isn't working 24/7. I mean he must have spare time in which he could do things around the house?!. I work 12 hour days and it's around 14 hours from leaving my house until i get back home and i do my own tiling etc Obviously he gets paid far more than i do but i'm just talking in terms of spare time, and if you're tiling or decorating etc in your spare time then it doesn't matter if you get 10 grand a day, you'll still be saving money.
i love how ricky cant talk to karl for more than about 2 seconds without laughing, wouldnt it be great to have a friend that made you laugh constantly and you never get sick of them lol i want a karl!! XD
This is brilliant from both. Karl brilliantly embarrasses Ricky for not knowing a thing about DIY and proving that he's a regular bloke far more than the privileged and pompous Ricky. But Ricky brilliantly shows how stupid it is for Karl to be doing that DIY and how it would be even more absurd and illogical for Ricky himself to be wasting time and money doing it. Good cricket all around
Even more brilliant is how well they set each other up, Ricky massively plays up his being massively out of touch ("I earn more than a tiler" etc.) so that Karl's more down to earth moaning shtick lands even harder.
I really wish they did the show "Fools Gold" Ricky suggested where Karl has to make a million dollar with a certain amount of start up money. I'd love to see Karl's little ideas come to life.
I agree with him, he should’ve been paid a higher percentage considering he practically made the show as popular as it is. He was the main star and without him, what would it be?
Angela Burke hm i don’t think so i think there are a lot of people out there who think like ricky and would’ve met karl knowing they could make a series on him, now there is only one karl so🤷🏿♂️
I suggest a show in which Karl teaches Ricky and Steve various kinds of home repair work.
That's a great idea mate.
that's properly a good idea
EverytimeSometimes Or a season where he goes round fixing things that Suzanne has FUCKED UP!
+MarcusAurelius EAVY ANDED!!
Chelsea That would be awesome
When Karl rants its comedy gold. Funny beyond words.
yeah pure hilarity
His house must be like living in a swimming pool
His Graham rant is AMAZING
He just stole the entire show and than introduced the news. Comedy genius.
@nordhorny thank you
And it was all off the cuff too, a true legend!
CENTRA STUDIOS he is a genius. This is the best fall guy act ever.
I would love to see Karl as a news reader
@@britishcomedytv8409 BOOONNGG
I don't think anyone has ever been as unphased by success/fame as Karl. The fact he didn't try at all is a testament to how amazing a human being he is.
If carl was a billionare he would still do his own grouting. Normal bloke. Good on him.
No he wouldn't
@@CaptainObvious007 he would
I think this clip demonstrates he definitely would at least do some of his own housework
Carrot Nose he would be doing the dishes every day , bit of quiet time
and his boiler would still be knackered.
Karl's delivery of "anyway, time for the news" is brilliant HAHA
play a record
Goodness gracious, the amount of times I've heard Karl say he's doing tiling is outrageous. All the audiobooks, radio spots, tv series etc all mention Karl and his endless tiling. Whenever he moves house one of his boxes that needs ticking must be "is there an opportunity to do tiling here?", because he just never seems to stop haha!
In another life, instead of being a millionaire celeb, he would have been very happy as a handyman 😂😂😂 "alrite mate? I'm ere to do ya grouting"
Grief Hammer It's probably the same section of wall he's been trying to finish for the last ten years.
DV M he’d show up with a crossword book under his arm and a pot noodle
mason seymour how’s that pub over the road?
He’s probably been buying and doing up houses.
such a pro at radio
he didn't make head of production at xfm for nothing
This is soooo funny. Karl has turned moaning into a new form of Art.
U
It sounds like these jobs arent being done properly.
British art form.
What’s art about that?
He's a secret genius, and possibly the funniest person , without even knowing.
Yep, what you said 👌
Odd
This makes no sense how can he be a genius without knowing? Play a record....
fuckin ufo's mate

I heard this live but I come back and listen every now and again, absolute classic makes me smile every time. What a great period of time that was
agree
Me too 😂
I like how they talk about getting paid on radio. No one else would make that funny. Great stuff.
I never thought about how they got paid. I bet Steven Merchant has the days marked on his calendar counting down till when he gets paid lol
+Samboy666 HAHAHA excellent!!

+Gromit Pesley Ricky made Karl.
***** He didn't "make" him.
+Gromit Pesley Creators always get paid more than the...for want of a better word...'talent'
You can't beat honesty...thing that amazes me most about Karl is ,that he counters all sneaky questions of Ricky or Steve or anyone trying to take a piss at him..
This is actually marketing genius - he still managed to plug his DVD in the first 15 seconds, whilst moaning.
Karl has gotta be one of the funniest people I have ever seen / heard on radio / TV.
Not everyone ‘gets him’ but if you are on his wavelength in terms of humour he is absolutely hilarious.
I'd love a show where Karl would be doing DIY with Ricky. Can you imagine Karl actually winding up Ricky?
The other way around mate lol
It would end up with Karl doing all the work whilst Ricky sits around annoying him to breaking point... come to think of it, that does sound hilarious 😂
"Where's the pot,Where's the money" xD
Best relationship in the history of time. I could listen to these 2 all day the rest o my life.
Karl, one of the few people on the planet (and maybe the only person) who can consistently say things at that perfect time that Gervais doesn't expect and makes Ricky laugh that famous laugh of his. Joy packed into a fraction of a second.
"Where's the pot..." I love Karl's downward inflections that make what would be a question into a futile statement.
An Idiot Abroad is my comfort show of choice. I have probably watched the 3 series over at least 20 times yet never get bored. I like to just have it on the background kind of like The Simpsons when I was a kid.
From his boiler being bunged up to his tiling, to the mirrored wall that he put wallpaper over - Karl's house is an enigma.
He’s just a normal bloke who ends up being funny due to just how he is. Just has this way to my everybody listen by accident. Top man
His honesty right off the bat of this call shows his head is in the right place
He's always grouting and tiling, fuck me.....
+dilwich123 I've said this before. He would have gotten along very well with Princess Diana
Diana? The most self absorbed and narcissistic person ever? Right, I'm sure they would have gotten along swimmingly, polar opposites attract, right?
Kougeki1000 glad we agree
Kougeki1000
Seriously, when I see Karl Pilkington I just see a bald Princess Dianna with a round head.
Good point Kougeki.
Kougeki1000 was she those things? She's not portrayed that way. Genuine q
Karl Pilkington is hilarious without even trying. Legend
One of my favourite videos
That anyway time for the news had Me crying 🤣🤣
Funniest guy on TV. I know we only know of him cause of Ricky and Steve but he outshines them so much.
Karl has an intuitive understanding of the time value of money, credit risk and cost management. Good on him!
this was genius. tax man... "ya money's in the pot"
"Wait 'til I get the pot..."
"Anyway, time for the news......." amazing :)
Some people dont like Ricky Gervais, but hes a good fucking mate, brings Karl along and got him his own show with Three series and another show with 2 series and now Karl is worth over 2mil all thanks to Ricky. Nice one.
how much did it make ricky and steve, meanwhile karl to grout his own damn kitchen
@The Judgemental Cat ima karl fan and you got a give credit were credit is due, but ricky did kind off forced karl into stardom
It was a symbiotic relationship, Karl provides the hilarious material, Ricky kind of acted as his agent before he was officially famous. Ricky also knows how to wind Karl up for comedic effect!
@@AA-hg5fk Didn't they make up recently or something?, they didn't talk for a while.
Ricky humiliates, insults, and mocks Karl all the time. Not really that great of a friend.
2022 and I'm re listening to the old RSK podcasts, brilliant
2024 amd I'm doing that
Telling him he's had the easiest ride of it like Ricky ain't made ludicrous amounts out of him. Ruddy cheek. Like Karl hasn't had to do all the travel, miss time with his family and friends, whilst Ricky and Steve have chilled in an office doing cut-aways.
Karl's brilliance for me is having everyone around him in stitches while keeping a dead pan face.
Comic genius 😂
Karl is a fucking legend and great at what he does, he's way more talented than people think
He rants about not getting paid then calming starts explaining how he's grouting. 😂😂😂 Karl Pilkington, still funny after all.these years.
Carl is class honest harmless and hilarious 😂
Most underrated comedian ever
betty dinner Probably because he’s not a comedian..?
WHO??
He’s not a comedian he’s just a very funny boy
When Karl is on rant. I get pains from laughing. Warick was the pefect travel buddy for him genius mix.
Underneath it all Karl is a pro.
" But how would I know which one's the real me?"
are you asking me or me as a worm?
i'd rather be a blind moth
I could eat a knob at night
they just stick a new lung on ya an that...
Nappies not now needed, baby dead
Karl DOES play up to our expectations of him, especially in Idiot Abroad, but he IS also more like 'that' than people who don't know his body of work would believe. Can't wait for the next series, the skydiving bit should be hilarious.
Never get tired of watching this, Ricky is nothing without Karl and Steve
Lol. Wrong.
I always find myself thinking "Yeah but Karl is right. Ricky has no idea what a regular person's life is like."
Here in 2020. Thanks YT I missed Carl! NEEDS A STAND UP SPECIAL
Never interrupt a man doing a bit of DIY
"Sick of it" - very apt
"You can 'av it when I get the pot! Idk when am geting paid. Cos thats how it works. Sick of it."😂😂😂
Karl is the most down to earth bloke in human history
He sounds immediately narked off and bemused: "What's going on?"
He's up a ladder hearing the phone ring 8 times.
Karl is spot on. Ricky says call so they immediately do. He wants his money but he has to wait years for it. And Ricky challenging him on his grouting is pissing ME off!
This was incredible 😲 Don't know why and how I missed this. ✌️💯 Thanks for sharing.
Time for the news...
How many times can one tile his kitchen, jesus...
SweertugaDany 24/7 Karl Cam.
And his bath room
To be fair I think he about 5 houses in the span of 8 years so it does make sense.
Suzanne is too heavy handed
That ‘Jesus’ reminds me when that dog barked in Egypt ‘who owns that? Why is a dog so high up?’ … ‘It’s not gonna shut up that dog is it-‘ then a donkey joins in ‘oh f me, Jesus’ and Karl walks off 😂
Karl is so funny when he's annoyed.
hes always annoyed
😮😅😅😅
I could just listen to Karl talk about things all day
He's just comedy gold.
'and now for the news...' XD
TIME for the news.
karls been doin that kitchen for ages!!!! he mentioned that like in 2003!
"alright whats going on".... that simple sentence got me laughing loud..
Could've been worse. He could've been up to his shoulder in... glunge.
Or a foodage
Oh, Glunge? Polish fella was he?
That Richard guy is so fucking patronizing.
WHERE’S THE POT!!!!! xxxxxxxx
This is gold. Karl came up with a that whole bit about the metaphorical pot over the phone. It takes some comedians months to write a 3 minute bit.
''Anyway time for the News""😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love when Ricky pretends he knows anything about DIY.
***** maybe he considers a bottle opener or cigar snipper as a tool, wait no it's ricky he'd say "i've picked up karl"
jimmy2k4o Considering the wrestling stories, he probably HAS physically lifted Karl.
***** Wow...I knew what a Dremel was in high school.
@@EricLeafericson I think Ricky does know what a Dremel is but he was trying to be funny because Karl said "I got my Dremel out" and then Ricky says "You what? You got what out?" comedically implying that Dremel is another word for penis.
He doesn't. He also looks down on people who do stuff like that.
I’m 100% with Karl on this one.
imagine getting paid so much you'd lose money doing your own house work.
Almost like getting a babysitter because you have to go work
Realistically it’s not that much
So basically earning more than a cleaner
It's the opportunity cost
I don't understand that. Ricky isn't working 24/7. I mean he must have spare time in which he could do things around the house?!. I work 12 hour days and it's around 14 hours from leaving my house until i get back home and i do my own tiling etc Obviously he gets paid far more than i do but i'm just talking in terms of spare time, and if you're tiling or decorating etc in your spare time then it doesn't matter if you get 10 grand a day, you'll still be saving money.
'...Anyway, time for the news' hahaha
Gotta love Karl, natural comedian and so quick witted
i love how ricky cant talk to karl for more than about 2 seconds without laughing, wouldnt it be great to have a friend that made you laugh constantly and you never get sick of them lol i want a karl!! XD
Absolute legend of a man , says it how it is no beating about the Bush.
Still listening in 2022 👌
“Anyway time for news” the way he said news
Their is a reason that man is loved by millions
Hilarious 😂😂😂, ricky and Carl should work more together they are a great comedy duo 😅😅
Ricky's idea of fools gold where he gives Carl a million to double in a year actually sounded hilarious to me. He would mess it up so badly 😄
ahh what a legend, love karl so much :')
I love how Ricky Gervais tried calling Karl out when saying dremel. Just for it to be clear he's the fool.
This is my favourite Karl clip!
I love how Karl is so normal compared to the rest of the group.
Sounds weird hearing normal stuff from a normal bloke on the radio
This is brilliant from both.

Funny thing is he’s bang on when it comes to getting paid
What a pro!
the stuff in-between the tiles..holds it together
This is about the 8th time watching this and still makes me laugh 😆
What a gem ❤
They need to make more of these
RICHARD 😄 THE MONEY IS IN THE POT 😆 2:10
Gotta be time for a reunion??? Surely😂

Gervais making out like karl is lucky when they built their entire radio show and podcasts around him.
