- Karl Pilkington, best known for his podcasts with Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant and his travel show An Idiot Abroad goes on a quest to find out if intelligence, really makes you happier.
Karl's appeal has nothing to do with intelligence. We like him because he's genuine. Most people, myself included, wear a mask of the person they want others to see. What you see with Karl is the real person.
What you see is what you get :) Simple.
Please tell us that you are not that stupid that you don't know that Karl Pilkinton is a character. You think the people in reality shows are REALLY like that too? My fucking god you must be dumber than horse manure. It's a great character tho.
I think he's fooled us all. Karl is a genius.
fr
Ricky is not your friend !
If that prick at the end was a genius, he would be fascinated at how Karl's mind works.
Exactly
He's called Will Self. I've always thought he was an ar*ehole.
That simple-minded tall glass of used toothpaste looking buffoon just wanted to sexually harass Karl instead.
That last guy was such an asshole. I don't believe he was an asshole because he was smart, like Karl implied, I think he was just as asshole who was also smart, and used the fact that he is smart to make himself feel more entitled and better than anyone who isn't as smart as him. Karl said he would rather be happy than really smart and he told him that's not what life is about and to "fuck off". Well I feel sorry for him, putting intelligence over happiness. Karl really knows where things are at.
I actually completely agreed with him. And understood him completely. I think the problem is that he didn't really know just how simple Karl is. He obviously didn't really understand the weight behind the question he was being asked. Anyway. Great lil' film. Loved it, and love Karl.
"That last guy" is Will Self. Will Self has an incredibly dry sense of humour.
The objective of the episode wasn't actually to find out whether being intelligent made you happier. This was a half hour tv slot designed to entertain people.
Will realised this, and did an eccentric interview in order to entertain us. He didn't take the program seriously, and more importantly, didn't take himself seriously.
tonycatman yeah I didn't even know who he was and I could tell he was kidding. That was really funny.
tonycatman
I can see that being plausible, as Will may have made a common mistake intelligent people sometimes make; he assumed that the audience was smarter than it is and would automatically 'get' his humor.
Pseudo Nim
Or the show's producers, editors and writers made the mistake.
It's really not Will's lookout to decide if his segment is proper for a show.
I thought it was funny, especially the Palmolive reference.
Without Karl.. those podcasts wouldn’t have had half the success. I know Ricky is pretty full of himself but Karl is the best soul he ever found to join the show. He is AMAZING.
Even Ricky and Steve admit the show was all Karl. They wouldn’t disagree with you.
karl sustained ricky and steve after their two office seasons, they would have went away if it wasnt for karl.
To be fair, on numerous occasions Ricky and Steve said they'd pack it in if Karl quit - as they saw it as a trio.
They also invested time and money to help propel Karl into financial security.
Without Ricky, Karl would be no where and no one would know him. Ricky spent so much time and effort making him known and invested a lot of money in to doing so. Do you not see how clever he is? lol Karl was his product and to sell Karl to everybody he could possible sell him to Ricky had to throw himself under the bus and make people say Oh we want Karl not you Ricky, lol he is a genius and sold Karl to everybody and made millions from him and made Karl millions in the process. Anyway as far as Karl this Karl that, it is all Steve and Ricky has ever said and agreed with you lol.
i think rick is jealous
I don't think Karl is disabled or stupid. I just think he is extremely introverted and appreciates the very small aspects of life rather than the big ones
yeah, he just has a different way of thinking
Well said, mate
He really is dumb. See how he talks about intelligence: he thinks intelligent people are always right, or know a lot of information, have read lots of books.
He doesn't think in terms of general, using logic and all. It's always particular with Karl: reading enough books, knowing more words.
@Lonely Grandsouls knowing more info? not really. now more than ever memorizing info is pointless, its there on the phone. whats important is learning skills, to think critically, thats not on the phone
Even Ricky calls him clever. But Karl has said that he just suffers from a lack of being articulate at times. Doesnt mean that he isnt joking around, but he have points that he just struggle to get across
Karl is the only one that makes sense. I honestly think he is an absolute genius. Some of his insights on An Idiot Abroad are not only incredibly hilarious but so true. He's just real.
No, you're just as stupid as him.
That's scary........I am honestly afraid of what society will be like since each generations getting WORCE ten fold and the common person is a typical idiot, then you have people saying "Karl is brilliant" just lowering that bar, de evolving the human race.
There’s a woman with an axe. Goes to show everywhere you go there’s a nutter
It's not Karl that's the genius. It's his father, the reason why Karl is the way he is. Is basically because of the things hes learned from his dad
so your saying the same Karl that says 'its ok to throw babies out of a window because the can land' is a genius?? are you ok buddy?
I just love how happy Karl is with the free bread he's been given, enjoying simple little things in life.
Happy? He literally made a career out of complaining about everything.
@@philbecker4676 And he is happy just drinking a cup of tea and spending time with Suzanne. His vent is a moan. An Idiot Abroad is literally about taking a content man and challenging him. The last man in this clip was a "clever man" who came off as close minded and a prick, basically resorting to violent threats.
@johan8969 His name is Will Self and he's a genius. I'd get frustrated too if I was a genius and was presented with someone as empty headed and ignorant as Karl Pilkington.
@@philbecker4676that may be true about Karl but that does not change the fact the guy was a dick
@philbecker4676 Karl might not know many things and he’s a bit complacent with being lazy, but he’s far from ignorant. Last guy felt more ignorant than Karl. Second to last guy was open minded to what Karl wanted to say. And what the F even was that putting a stone on Karl’s head? Like genuinely what was that?
been watching so much Karl the past couple days that my inner monologue developed a British accent.
Karl: "My girlfriend doesn't let me cook anymore.........I sort of gave it a go, but she walked in and I had sausages in the toaster - then she went mental." (I fell off my chair laughing)
Even better - after hearing that insane story - the bread lady says that maybe he is an idiot LOL.
A Columbia professor once said that there is a kind of stupidity that can only be learned in top universities. This stupidity is a combination of arrogance, entitlement, and apathy. Intelligence comes from understanding oneself, and Karl's got plenty of that.
Sounds like your describing more "wisdom" or self awareness.
The Columbia professor was describing members of Government perfectly.
Karl is the most humble person i've ever seen to be honest, he treats everyone he sees the same which I find amazing. Its terrible that anyone can treat him like that guy at the end, seeing as Karl wasnt provoking a reaction he was just being Karl. I dont care if he was playing a character or how smart he was but Karl is our idiot and him being him kinda goes above anything that the last guy does.
Everybody's doin' a brand new dance now
(Come on baby do the locomotion)
I know you'll get to like it if you give it a chance now
(Come on baby do the locomotion)
To me, the last guy is the idiot. Karl is a genius. ❤
Karl is a saint.
I love Germaine Greer’s attitude to the traditional view of intelligence and how kind she is to Karl 😀
He is just a chill guy, huh?
yes I met her once she's a very nice lady
She's anything but nice. Loud mouth fool.
I genuinely love Karl, its like ive known him for years, i look him up sometimes on the internet and i miss him and his podcast!
Me, too. I wonder if he has any idea how much we genuinely care about him.
he hasnt i think
I wish you was my uncle
I agree. Karl is amazing in his own way. As a Dutchman, I must say I love his Manc accent. Brilliant.
Same. I'm watching this 4 years later.
Karl Pilkington is such an enigma. He's so clever but he doesn't think he is. He's humble and thoughtful but still unpolished and impatient. He is such a universal character. He would make a fantastic protagonist in a Sartre play.
I mean sympathetic, not universal. He's always battling something, whether it be internal or external. He is so good at revealing the way his brain works. I love to analyze him. He fascinates me.
Wordsmith .
Agree completely
+Sarah Floyd agree completely about Karl being interesting I mean.. Not the rude guys
how is he clever haha
Something admirable about Karl is that he doesn’t allow people’s prejudices to get to him. It frustrates him, but he doesn’t dwell on it and in a way he accepts it. There’s a sort of wisdom and peace of mind that comes with that.
Am I the only one who thinks that having a beer with Icke wouldn't be such a bad experience. I know about all his kooky beliefs, but he came off as much more likable and (surprisingly) down to earth, compared to some of the others.
Icke is right about many things.. but he seems to be wrong about many things too. It's possible he is spreading disinformation intentionally.
I think it might actually be alright. It's fun learning about things people believe when it's on a face to face and not on a down their nose at you level. He seemed pretty nice.
MisterFuturtastic
I think that could be possible, but because he is right about so many things, it just seems that too much correct info is being revealed for it to be disinformation. But then you look at it from another angle: why hasn't he been bumped off by these elites? Personally I think it would be too obvious and they don't or can't, but regardless, his shit is interesting to listen to.
Jordan Dodd That is what makes the disinfo so good though is to mix it with real info. It takes people off the real trail because he gains followers AND it makes it so people in the mainstream ignore the true info he provides. He is discrediting conspiracy theorists intentionally.
But someone also brought up the possibility that someone from the elite tricked Icke by making him believe this reptilian stuff to make Icke discredit himself.
Your latter possibility is what I would think if Icke isn't legit, if anything. I don't watch his stuff any more, but for me he kick started a personal fascination with the universe and quantum physics. You want to talk about disinformation then lets talk about Alex Jones and his ilk! People like that almost always have their own selfish agenda, as they are basically fear-mongers saying everything is a conspiracy while at the same time offering ZERO solution. I'm sure Icke is loaded now, but how long has he been on this stuff, adding to as he goes? 25 years now? That sort of constant exposure kinda separates him from others, as a 25 year long 'plot' of any kind would be hard to maintain.
Despite the the comment people make, he is a very observant and intelligent guy.
He's incredibly likeable and has common sense, I wouldn't say he is particularly intelligent. This is the guy who thought a stick insect was born when a bug had sex with a leaf.
@@johnnyjohnny6174 maybe he was just joking.
I agree that he is intelligent - he is just in a constant first principle way of thinking. I think what people classify as intelligent in general is faulty - intelligence is the flexibility of the brain on analyzing and solving problems and not on how much you know about the world - cause if the latter is true then by effort, everyone can be intelligent
"do you want to read the tractatus Logico-Philosophicus"
"maybe not to start with"
Karl is a genius hahahha
Will Smith is a self-satisfied, pompous plonker ,always has been horrible to Karl, who is a real person and an original thinker
The Socrates quote "Wisdom is knowing how little we know" and everything the guy said about programmed intellect and not being open really applies to the 'intelligent' people in this video who just shut out Karl.
well said mate
@@Sambamoller well commented
I was sat here thinking about all the xfm episodes where Ricky screamed at Karl for being an idiot meanwhile Ricky was spouting nonsense about platyhelminths and atheism n that
On the other hand, if you are too open minded, you never get snywhere because there are so many ideas to explore. In the end you need to decide in which direction your thought process should go so you evolve.
Karl is one of the most aware, curious people I have ever heard of. I would never consider his life to be boring. The last guy was extremely rude, weird, judgemental and insulting (albeit honest) to the beauty that defines Karl.
He's an old soul, lot of wisdom
dude was intense, wasn't he
Karl is actually really patient and very kind he doesn't even care if people call him ''stupid'' he forgives straight away. I know if someone called me stupid i'd be offended.
17:50 Ok, I meet people like this at school who are equally as pretentious; he does some unnecessary ball head thing on Karl to, of course, seem smart and, as a bonus, comments on some imaginary gap in his brain. Karl takes a pipe, as directed. To that, Will mentions some Tony Ben to, again, sound smart and, again as a bonus, openly assumes Karl's ignorance for not knowing of this person. When Karl asks the question, "does intelligence equal happiness", Will claims it's not for him to judge, moments after calling Karl ignorant.
The "fuck off" comment was just the tip of the iceberg.
There are pretentious people everywhere. In fact, I've just sat here, typing a long opinion to make myself seem smart. No denial. But Will was very self-entitled and probably proud of what he said.
I think Karl Pilkington is cool.
+Corbin Murray yeah I guess you writing this long ass opinion was saying "Hey I know what you doing guy, don't think you are getting away with it" but it also was to moan as well so I don't necassarily think it was 100% a pretentious comment you wrote just to make yourself look smarter. I think it's also a comment that is similar to Karl's moanings hence genuine.
now on the other hand me writing this acknowledgment, it's just showing off... lol
Asil Veral Admittedly, I guess we're all guilty. :)
Easier just to head butt them mate, makes you feel much better
It was a complete piss take, you fool!
He is clearly being humourous and dong a 'bit' during the whole segment......
No one is a happy person, who isn't able to have someone like Karl as friend.
Karl is a beautiful human being. His kind is rare.. inspiring.
Karl's thought process is truly unique. He's able to see the world the way a child would, but at the same time, with an insight that children lack. Ricky and Steven laugh at him, but try to come up with the thoughts, ideas, and insights Karl comes up with- it's really, really difficult.
Its called brain damage.
Some of the things Karl has said on the radio over the years really show genius in him. He comes at different issues from such a strange angle that most people would never ever be able to do. I always burst out laughing at the things he says, but then sit back and shake my head in amazement at how he was able to think about it in such a lateral and original way.
Name one genius idea he’s had.
Pocket tie
@@ihatespam2 I think one time he talked about future technology, glasses that display a different reality to what's real. some technogy has been developing towards that with VR headsets being an example.
@@Tawhiri that proves it
I'd rather spend a day with Karl than the pipe guy, any day of the week. Karl seems like a really nice and genuine guy, and the way he looks at life and says things are really genius/humorous
Never heard of the bloke at the end, whereas Karl’s an icon and a household name, in spite of his below average intelligence. Karl’s right again. Play a record
I love how much Karl is like a little kid with the first woman:
"Are you gonna cut into that?"
"No, it's gotta cool down first. But you can take it home if you like."
"What, can I? All of it?"
Stephen Merchant was always worried about the pipe going out of style. Look at this bloke keeping the tradition alive.
That last guy is a loon
He's still pseudoscientific as hell.
You can't measure the brain size by using a ball.
nope, scam artist
+herpderpmonkey exactly. His assessment seemed to be based off of outdated science
its telly ya twat
Holy Wow, this was brilliant. One of the best Karl's shows. And I have been watching/listening his stuff for 5 years now. I don't know how I missed a video uploaded in 2012.
Sort yourself out, TH-cam.
A perfect example that IQ is one of the crudest measurements of human brilliance
Pure intellectual 'superiority' often has a dismissive, cruel feeling. Emotional Intelligence is somewhat lacking in Will Self.
What I love about the convo with David Icke is he talks about keeping an open mind, then regales Karl wit hthe virtue of not listening to anyone who thinks you're wrong and only believing what you think is right. Just...amazing silliness.
that's david icke for you, infact most conspiracy freaks are like that.
he wants us to have an open mind to watch his videos and buy his books, but he doesn't keep an open mind when people explain why he is wrong. pathetic.
He was saying not to listen to people who are negative about having an open mind.
jimmy2k4o Don't fall into the trap of condemning conspiracy theorists.. we have been programmed to do that. That is exactly how we have been deceived..
How are you ever going to know if society is being deceived when you condemn people pointing out we are being deceived?
MisterFuturtastic i do believe in some conspiracies, 9/11, the gutting of the education system so the public are easier to manipulte, but lots of it is no better than creationism, you cant have a constantly open mind, you let ideas in you think about them and you either accept or reject it, you don't need to re-evauate nonsense everyday. also some are dangerious and spawned out of ignorance and paranioa like vaccinations are deadly or chemtrails etc lots of it is just crap.
The way Karl asks questions isn't exactly like Socrates but I think a lot of the questions he poses can be asked today and can lead to more understanding. It is a slight bit of thinking outside of the box. While sometimes you might want to blow him off completely he does ask questions that could lead to a better understanding of philosophy.
AT the very least he challenges some of the steadfast philosophical questions. While he might not be the greatest mind I think that people with questions like his should at the very least have their questions considered.
Karl is very smart. He can see the wisdom and stupidity in everything. His comic interpretation is genius.
1. Karl is amazing. 2. The author he met with who smoked a pipe is an absolute snobby knobhead. Karl is a treasure.
It's 2023 and Karl is now a millionaire! And - he's apparently going to be starring in a new comedy about his life, if he hadn't met Ricky and Stephen. So for someone that teachers said wouldn't be a, 'high flyer', he's done quite well!!😄😂
He was great in Derrick
Dope! Always happy to hear about some new Karl material.
I work with a guy who is eerily similar to Karl, and it’s one of the few good things about my job.
I love Karl...truly a role model for me.
I find it amazing how the last guy is so condescending and tries to tell Karl what life is about. Meanwhile, judging from the obscene success of the Ricky Gervais podcasts, Karl's shows, and the nature of the comments in this video, Karl positively impacts countless more people than that last guy ever will. To me, Karl Pilkington is the funniest person that has ever lived, and one of the most interesting: think about it, how many other people do you listen to as often just to hear their everyday banter? Whether or not he's conventionally "intelligent," his impact can't be denied, and as misanthropic and cynical as he can be, I'm sure his impact is enough to make him happy.
+Justin Fa that is because the world is filled with morons who desperately need to find someone to act the fool to reassert their intelligence. doesn't make karl smart or stupid, just proves the point that acting like a complete idiot generally makes you a more popular person.
his answer about what he would have learned in school if he'd paid more attention was the smartest answer I've ever heard, honestly
Karl is smart enough to have many think he's stupid and make loads of money out of it.
the last guy is probably someone he puts up with all the time, he did well getting through it without being offended
That last guy really embodies what Icke was saying to him earlier, such a pompous prick, totally identified with his 'intellect,' not 'having time' for Karl, to understand him, let alone to help him
I would rather spend a day with Karl than that last person. Karl is refreshingly honest and down to earth. He is not stupid he just thinks different to some people.
Long live Karl! May his round-headedness and hilarious thoughts be around to cheer us up for years to come :)
Karl is a gem. He's not a fount of knowledge but his brain works in the most weird and wonderful way. The world would be much poorer without Karl, just the way he is.
I honestly believe Karl is extremely intelligent. He just thinks differently.
I don't care how "smart" karl is he seems like a great man. I would be honored to meet him.
truly intelligent people don't have to portray the kind of image Will did
I mean, he was pretty obviously playing it up for the camera, and their parting where Will was talking about stripping Karl and gently cleaning him in a bath was fucking hilarious.
Hated him
I love Karl.. he calms my mind and I'm in a better space after a listen..
"Nothings been sorted out." "Well things arent meant to be sorted out." "Well then why are they chatting about it?" "Can i make this fucking bread" LMFAO
Some how Karl gives me the feeling that every things going to be okay.Thank you Karl. : )
21:50, claims to be intelligent, claims to know what is and isn't the meaning of life. I thought part of intelligence was considering multiple viewpoints.
I’ve had the biggest ole crush on Karl for so long ❤
The Will dude is a comedian. He's acting tongue in cheek. Just search for Will Self Shooting Stars on TH-cam. You'll see the character he portrays.
Did she just say "can I make this FUCKING bread?" 4:46
+Akupara1 yes lmfao
Hahahah
+Akupara she sounds Australian, if so.. im not surprised
this is amazing. Karl's mind just works so differently I don't think it makes sense to measure his intelligence the same way we do with the rest of humanity.
Thanks for uploading, what an absolutely heartwarming feature, Karl is my hero
I think someone like Socrates would commend Karl for admitting that, like Socrates himself, admitting that all he knows is he knows nothing at all. Something tells me it would be harder for these intellectuals to admit that.
Actually, that's arguable. According to the Dunning-Kruger effect, you'd on average expect intelligent people to undervalue themselves. And unskilled/unintelligent people would overestimate their abilities because they'd fail to see their own ineptitude.
In order to examine this though, you'd have to define carefully what you mean by intelligence/skill
I love seeing Karl riding on his BMX bike around town where he lived, it makes me feel happy. You can still see the childlike freedom in Karl, he's not entirely spoiled by getting older like most people get. Think young, stay young :)
karl pilkington is a kid at heart, he is brilliant
I think the guy at the end - Will - did hit the nail on the head though. He pointed out that Karl really didn't want to be more knowledgeable... he didn't want to be like everyone else. The key is that Karl is just stubborn. For some reason he doesn't want to deal with conventional intellectualism. And you can see that about him.. he is very frustrated and negative about the way people think.
That's not necessarily a bad thing to want to be an individualist.. a lot of good things can come from that. We need people that go against the grain of conventional society.
"he is very frustrated and negative about the way people think." I think that applies much more to Will than it does to Karl. Karl was open to try and learn from these other people and see what they had to say, how they think etc. while most of them quickly got frustrated with his way of thinking and shut him out. No patience, no desire to learn from him or understand him, they seem like the stubborn ones to me. Idk.
Fernando Z I agree with you there. I thought the same thing about how Karl had some good points and they had no response. haha
The guy at the end is a psychopath. Thank God Karl got out of there alive. I felt he was evil.
Will is a prime example of why "smart" people often come off as unlikable. I read an article not too long ago about political candidates that I think applies to people in general, the more intellectual they sound, the more unlikable they are. Considering the average IQ is 100 it makes sense. If you're not taking into consideration who you're talking to, you can often sound like you're talking "down" to them.
I will never get sick of this video :D
As odd as it sounds, watching karl pilkington videos, always gives me feel confident, and more better bout myself
I flatter myself by thinking i'm something of a smart guy, and i'd love to sit in a pub with Karl.
KARL, "Humour is the hidden wisdom," You are wise. Intelligence you are born with, like being creative.
It don't matter how the world sees you but how you see yourself. For you are you and you were created to be you. And you are one of a kind just the way you are. Don't compare yourself to others. You will never be the same. Maybe the more we are ourselves maybe the more we will see of ourselves. The strengths and the weaknesses
Karl is a lovely fellow. Ricky Gervais is lucky to have him as his best mate.
That guy at the end was like the Harvard guy in Good Will Hunting, a bunch of quotes from his books but nothing original to say.
Just watching for the 1st time - so amazing this was made. Karl's a great sport and so smart for letting his idiocy become a money maker for him - and a hilarity maker for all of us. Thanks for posting this piece. Love how each person he visited got a serious taste of how kooky his noggin' is LOL. Wonderful. Thanks Karl.
His outlook on life is his own. Simplicity doesn't indicate a lack of intelligence. It makes the man who he is. An individual. Those who would interpret that as stupidity are incapable of seeing anything beyond their own pretentious self centered lives anyway. We're all wired differently.
I love Karl Pilkington. As Ricky Gervais says, he's in awe of the world if it's furry. He's much like a child, a lot of common sense, but very little knowledge of the world. He can be perceived as stupid, but is very receptive to information, he likes to learn, even though most of what he learns is rubbish.
I dont thing Karl is stupid at all.He is just bloody honest and says what he thinks and he aint a pretender.I wish more people would be like him!
There are many many Karl's in this world, we just got to meet this one....and loved him. So glad he went to see David, he gave him some good info. Just be yourself Karl, that's what we love you for.
I have never related to Karl more watching this!
Karl is one of the most down to earth, intelligent people. The world is a better place with him in it
He's not intelligent. He's likable
I don't know why, but seeing Karl zoom along on the BMX bike like he was a kid made me feel kind of happy. It was a really cute way of bringing us back to his past when he was a kid, where we get to see the school where he grew up & all. When they get Karl away from Ricky & Steve, he seems sort of sad. Karl needs to hang out with someone like David Ike, who had the best message of all: "fuck 'em." He had ALL the answers. "Wisdom is knowing how little we know." People who think they know
The irony of not opening the doors 1st time, when coming out of mensa test.
Gotta love karl
This has made more sense to me about so many difficult questions of life than most people I know. I think somehow that was the hidden message of the show.
I like Karl. He's honest, humble, and open. Garnering from other things he's said in the podcast, like "do your bit"- he's also kind. The world needs more like him, and less like the arrogant ass at the end, who serves no real purpose at all. At least Karl is relating to people, and getting us to think about what good intelligence does- thats something very worthwhile! I feel the way to live smartly, is to be like the woman he first interviewed: kind, and able to laugh- this will lead to the best life for yourself and others. No matter how intelligent, try to not forget your heart.
I could watch Karl and the bread woman for at least 8 hours a day
He's also incredibly honest about himself and calm when being verbally attacked. Karl makes me realise how differently a brain can work, it's actually kind of beautiful how he relates to other things.
This is so authentic David icke and karl so unexpected that conversation this dawns to a different cultural age that with new light the reflection still has some sparkle and shine.
Authenticity. As a Special Ed teacher in the states......Karl is very smart.
I would not hold back on my foot coming down upon the head of the last guy on there.
I really hate that the people get annoyed with Karl when he asks questions, even when some are silly questions such as the 'drawings of aliens' and such. There's no need to get annoyed. Just take the time to calmly explain your reasoning. Those kinds of reactions from so-called 'intellectuals' are exactly the reason some people are too scared of asking and seeking out new knowledge or coming up with new ideas. It's just stomping all over people, and shows closed-minded arrogance. Germaine Greer makes a good point about the difference between being clever and intelligent. Not everyone has the academic intelligence yet can still be smart
intellectuals should have to spend time pandering to morons, they stuck in at school and learned the basics, when people like karl pissed about, now he decides he wan't to learn things, or not if you believe when he's talking to will self , he gets confused by concepts of evolution and intellectuals have to spend time re-teaching him what he should have learned in school, and you expect this not to annoy them? cmon.
Karl is so funny. I love his Idiot Abroad travel show on TV! I would watch so many episodes of that.
"It's not my fault, it's my brains fault" is THE most Karl thing I've ever heard. Glorious ❤
I think Karl could be a catalyst for a Genius. Which he may be for Ricky. And I mean catalyst in every sense of the word. He changes things around him while remaining unchanged.
Have any of you watched "Derek", "An Idiot Abroad.", The Ricky Gervais show."(podcast) Seriously, Karls onsite, into life, it may be laughable but its a raw talent, it's natural brilliance, I don't find the man unintelligent at all, in fact, I see him with the most raw intelligence, seeking the basics of survival and happiness, what more is there. So one may find a cure, but, what if you waist a lifetime of happiness, and miss the mark. Wouldn't you rather love, and be happy? I love you Karl, My husband and I are huge fans, and hell he's an intellect, I'm quite a dunce.
I absolutely love Karl....this is fabulous.
"He's a fridge-fixer......" 😄😄😄 Epic, honestly....! Love him to bits....! ❤️
Karl is curious to know things he doesn't know. If he asks a question about a certain topic he has no clue about. Does that make him stupid? No. Say for instance I didn't know anything about animals and someone said I was borderline retarded. Am I retarded? No. I as a 13 year old boy sitting on his phone at 1:00am can come up with that, then I'm sure Karl as a middle-aged man can do better. I may be knowledgeable about vehicles and how they work and such, but if I had no idea how a human eye functioned, would I be stupid? No.
shut up
shane gould Why should I shut up? Give me a logical explanation on why I should not share my opinion about how Karl isn't stupid.
Don't listen to him. I liked your comment. :)
2:11 typical Karl, tries the left door-closed, then uses the right door. Next door tries the right-closed, have to use the left. Small things like this… 🤣🤣
Karl is so genuine and down to earth, putting happiness in front of intelligence and experience. He lives how he wants to live, and he enjoys it, even though he lives a basic routine day to day, that's how he likes and wants to live. Karl is surprisingly a lot more open minded and probably smarter then a lot of us. He's not book smart he's more spiritually connected and smart in that sense, he knows exactly what's going on.
alright jeremy
I love Karl.....there are different types of intelligents and Karl's intelligents is my favorite....❤ I could listen to him all day.......
Intelligent doesn't mean you can recall all the dumb facts or quotes that you learned from the books. To me as long as you're able to think on your feet and have an open minded head you're just as intelligent as the other person next to you. Recalling facts isn't going to get you through life, maybe hold a conversation easier but again you won't get through life with just facts unless you're a historian. Karl's obviously not dumb because he figured out the system and he's accomplish things that people will never accomplish in their life time, I mean he's literally a millionaire!
Karl is sometimes so incredibly profound...and probably the most hilarious person on the planet!
My "IQ" is 153...and in many ways I find this man to be WAY more intelligent than me
Right? We should convince Suzanne to get pregnant.
@1337manz...hahahahaha...you're fantastic!!!!
by the way...the answer to your question is the Stanford-Binet...multiple times sincechildhood...I think IQ tests are total bullshit...
Karl tests at like 84 and I think a great deal of what he says is genius. There is no single assessment to truly test one's intelligence.
Merritt Tutthill I understand what you mean. Sometimes Karl makes things as easy as they "should" be and actually could be, but the ego of humans tends to complicate things unnecessarily
Iq of 150+ is like 99.9%ile if you believe in iq tests. You are smarter than 99.9% of all mankind.congratulations
i look up to this man so much love you karl!
Karl Pilkington is the simple man's hero. This really opened my eyes.
