From The Ricky Gervais show, short clips showing the best of Karl Pilkington. Buy the DVD at www.amazon.co.uk/The-Ricky-Ger...
Karl manages to pull off the character of “some bloke” almost perfectly.
Perfect summary.
He's not a character. That's him. Lol
He really does doesn't he 👍
@@MikeHarrisHazchem77 Karl plays a super exaggerated version of himself
@@guitargutsst1337 no he's just himself. He's been the same since the first time he piped up on the radio show. Never changed a bit
The way he describes himself as an "old baby" is gold.
I burst "me eyes moved around more than I did."
"She said I could frown before I could walk." Karl's a genius, know that.
0:55 Can't believe they didn't pull Karl up on his pet magpie.
They talked about it a few times on the XFM shows. It was a bird that lived near his house and would sit on his shoulder. But one day Karl brought it to school to show his friends and it flew away never to be seen again.
Popped his tyres on his grifter
Clap, clap , clap, well fucking done
T C
This wasn’t the first time he mentioned it
@@kraken589 That's really sad.
"It was better back when parents wouldn't freak out over their children being kidnapped."
It is true though. Most people don't kidnap children. I ran around all the time starting at age 9. Ride my bike miles to the mall. This was in the early 2000s when everyone was already afraid. I never saw the need to fear. It brings up the old question of what's better, to be safe or to be free. Are you really going to fear being a statistical anomaly? Like even if 1 in 10000 children running around are kidnapped that's still pretty good odds.
@@isaiahdaniels5643 most interesting, do tell more, please
I use to play at the park without supervision all the time and only got raped once.
@@elvischrist8826 piss off you animal rights activist documentation!
@@isaiahdaniels5643 true, it''s been shown countless times that you're more likely to be victimized by someone you know
I would love to go back in time and see Karl as a child.
yeah, i wonder if there's any pictures of him lol
Poor Karl had to go buy his own cake. His parents were something else.
Things were different in the 70s.
Working?
@john davis did you know bob Mortimer ?
Lol if you think that's bad
Scott E
Whats wrong with that?
Karl is absolutely right about being outdoors when you are a child. Every kid on our block was outside, riding bikes, playing catch, baseball, tennis, kick-ball, climbing trees, running races & going to each other's houses for snacks. I would ride my bike for hours, everywhere & nowhere. I loved the feel of the sun on my face & the wind in my hair. What a feeling of freedom and joy! And then, as the sun set, the "Moms" would call out their child's name. Time for dinner, homework & TV. Sigh...
TobyJae i hated being outside on the inside with me games is where i flourished
Isn't it great you can do all that now as an adult but without the mum imposed curfew? Fuck childhood. True freedom is when you do and say what you want, when you want. Granted alot of adults don't have that so they are still essentially children with a different "mum".
epiphany55 The thing that sucks about adulthood is the pressures and the more knowledge you have
@@epiphany55 edge
Studio 404 edgy to call things edgy also childhood was shit
Is it just me or is it weird seeing Karl sat on the left?
Unique Yeah it’s so they don’t get a copyright strike because they’ve technically “altered” the footage
More just to prevent detection, if it does get detected it can still be taken down.
Dan The Man you what
@Dan The Man do it u wont
Exactly what I thought 😂😂
I love the "...alright..." at the start of each of these
I dunno why Ricky and Steve are teasing him so much about his childhood. He got out a lot, didn't waste his time watching TV all day like a good number of kids, plenty of sunshine, exercise and fresh air, sounds like Carl had a damn fulfilling childhood.
@Karl Pilkington thats why even with his low IQ his perspectives is so wise.
The show is set up Karl knows everything that’s going on and gets paid well for the pleasure
@mushroom wobbit iq has absolutely nothing to do with wisdom.
@@ramblinevilmushroom i highly doubt that his IQ is low, he seems like a relatively rational guy, that prefers logic and honesty above self esteem, though when it comes to his knowledge, there's not a lot he can offer as he clearly is not a bookworm or a geek, in fact i think his amount of knowledge is incredibly low for a person that was raised in a first world country in a time in which reading books was something that children didn't use to mock, instead a lot of them enjoyed it, primarily because of the lack of activities that were available at the time. He's got a very courious life, no doubt.
@@bowzally1281 they actually tested it in a video, it was around 70 or 80.
"Karl, your hair will blow out one day."
"Oh don't talk stupid mum."
Lost. My. Shit,
Steve's failure to understand messing about on a bike when you're a kid is really strange to me. I was like that as well
Class difference I'd say. There are a few moments like this in the xfm show where Ricky and Karl will both get something because of similar upbringing (working class estate) that's just totally alien to Steve
I thought the same 😆 I was always on my bike with my friends, roller blades, or making dens/bases in the fields/bush. Was great fun.
I've always been an introvert, so I never did the usual stuff of going out playing with friends or on my bike. The reason why my childhood was so lonely
@@SamuelBlack84
I’ve never known an introvert who understood the concept of loneliness. Isn’t it a feature of introversion that you don’t feel loneliness? I know that’s how it was when I was young.
@@negativeindustrial There are times when your human nature breaks through and you would give anything for the company of another
"Oh there you are"
Hahahaha baby Karl almost killed me!! These cartoonists are geniuses
iPrometheusQ yup!
I know exactly what Karl means. There's a period between around 90 to 96 that's completely blank in my mind when it comes to historical events, popular culture, TV and music. If I wasn't at school or in bed I was playing out.
I grew up during the Vietnam war , the Space Race , the Cold War and the so called Swinging Sixties and I don't remember any of it because I was out on me bike .
Things were definitely better back then. When I was an art student in the 1970s, one night my mate called for me quite late, and I went to the pub in my pyjamas. The landlord would go to bed at 1 a.m. and leave everyone to pull their own pints. Strange but true !
"No. I'm not having this"
"Oh, don't talk stupid mam"
Why the fuck are you quoting you goon, we can listen to it
MarcusAurelius I like your name. Good taste.
@@gigaGrug has activated lvl2 creepiness
Lol, Steve had such a sheltered childhood.
Yea deffo
Ellis Dee it’s short for definitely
@thelunaticfringe his dad is a plumber, he was a guest in Steve’s radio show which aired shortly after the Ricky Gervais show and guests called in and asked questions about plumbing
B Nap any links?
i love karl so much. xD
“My eyes moved more than I did”.
I love that the clip starts with Karl explaining that the past just seems better to people because they were young then, and ends with him arguing that the past was in fact better because kids played outside more.
I miss the old bike days 😊
I love the little animation when Ricky says: "Oh don't talk stupid mum!" as he walks off casually! xD
i'm not having this
I think not, mum.
These 3 together is gold 😂
I love how he cites '1984' as being a year of happiness and freedom.
xSpectreProductionsx
Technically it was a year of “freedom” for me, as it was the year I was born: when I was freed from that “cursed ovarian Bastille”, to quote Stewie Griffin haha. 😁
surprised they didn't pick up on, i had a pet magpie
I could frown before i could walk. Priceless.
The best year of my life was when I was 18. I had a scholarship for a free year of room and board at college. Even though I failed a math class and haven’t gone back since, but it was still overall the best year of my life.
I completely agree . My life seemed to come to an end when I went to secondary school and they gave me homework . I just wouldn't accept the idea that I'd already spent five days a week in this institution but that wasn't enough . I had to give up hobbies that I was really skilled at and I lost touch with my friends who went to other schools . It seemed unfair then and it still seems unfair fifty years later .
I know you
I felt the exact same. I decided to do all my homework during lunch times and breaks, it was the only way I could get my evenings free again. I got a bit mocked for always sitting there studying during free time, I'd eat fast and get back to it but it worked ok. I'm still bummed about it too, I wanted to get outside a bit during breaks.
@@angelkotilainen same and if I couldn't get it done during the school day I simply didn't do it.
He's thinking about the time right before you take an interest in women. My happiest time also.

I picked that up at the age of 8 or 9 - internet, I guess.
Mum: Karl...the world’s ending
Karl: I’m out on me bike
Tingin it's way up the tube.
exactly. I was out on my bike every day like karl exploring until dinner time.
"I think not Mum."
"I had me whole life ahead of me."
"Little did you know that all your hair would fall out and you'd whinge every minute of every day."
LOL
Wow, Karl was born in 1972. I thought he was MY age! I was born in 1967. He is 5 years wiser than his years! "sphyted" I have posted too many comments, but I love these guys!
I agree with Karl on going out on a bike beating being at home when you’re a kid
I agree with Karl, it was much more interesting for me outside.
Id love to know what Steve was doing when he was 12.
I bet he spent most of it one-handed
I don't think you understand what being 12 is.
Probably learning how to ride coat tails.
@@MrJungle123 The Office was more Steve's concept than Ricky's
Probably filing or mathematics..!
2:40 She said I was an old babeh. I love the way he says that in his accent for some reason
I love Karl so much it hurts!!
There are three people I know of who can say they had a truly bat shit crazy childhood, and that's Karl, Greg Davies and Bob Mortimer
Greg and Bob's childhoods are insane!
Fan of WILTY?
I do beg your pardon, but we are in your garden
Lol no no dear it was normal not bat shit crazy . Totally normal only two generations ago .
@@Novack49 🤣🤣🤣 I tell ya it's normal funny as heck but mild and ordinary imagine a world where kids had to imagine and invent any game they played ...well they use to.
I was ALWAYS out. Sometimes on my bike, but rarely. Most of the time it was just me and anywhere from 2 to 8 other kids, we we playing dozens of different games with football, playing caps, trading cards, or modified "hide and seek" we called "palki stukalki", or just hanging around, shelling sunflower seeds. And during summer, boy, from early morning to late evening, we would barely come home to eat. I miss that time more than anything.
I totally agree with Karl that its healthy that kids should be playing out. Riding his bike, playing football. Thats what made being a kid so great!!
I was born in 1986 and i grew up in east London and even tho i had computer games (Super Nintendo), I loved playing out with my friends and riding my bike and going to the park. However in the mid 90's to late 90's society changed & crime was on the increase in my area which ment parents would not allow their kids to play out in my area as often as before and the playstaytion 2 was also keeping a lot of the kids indoors as well.
All this ballshit that Playstations and Games Consoles kept/keep kids in.
Welsh Wizzard mate it really is does, just ask a group of kids now if they would rather play out in the park or all get together and play FIFA. they will all choose fifa.
Welsh Wizzard
When we were kids in the 70s & 80s, we played inside for hours playing Dungeons & Dragons, we played the Atari & had Commodore64 & Apple IIe, and yet 80% of the time we were out riding our bikes, playing kickball, etc. I honestly do not think video games are to blame for kids' overall inactivity nowadays. Parents today could easily do what they did in our day - put a time limit on the video game playing & if the kid doesn't heed it then yank the fucking plug outta the wall. *That* will get 'em moving! Parents these days are too friggin soft, their kids push them around & get whatever they want. They should get a nice smack in the chops like I did when I talked back, it shut me *RIGHT* up.
bubblebobble86 lol your right but seriously man I convinced its games consoles that keeps kids indoors, Its because they all play online with each other, Parents also feel that their kids are safer indoors, Parents need to find a balance of forcing kids out to play or getting them involved with activities and caping the time they play on their games consoles
bubblebobble86 You forget that those video games you played didn't really keep you engaged long because they were too primitive to be extensive as they are today.
Gosh, I can relate to all that..
"let's leave out this bit" XD
"Alright "
92 child and I agree; raised in't north so still not too sure what computers are.
I'd love to see an interview with Karl, his dad and his mum.
Based Karl. Hes so interesting because hes the most humble of us all.
Karl's one of the few people who can make me laugh out loud while watching tv or listening to a podcast.
The animation is just pure brilliance. the "Choose Life" T-shirt....lolololol. Please bring this series back.
Karl’s right. I used to go to the bar in my neighborhood ALL the time as a little kid (6-8 or 9 years old). I kept getting free soda pop so I kept going. No one ever made a fuss at my house wondering where I’d been.
C-light he’s right about kids playing out therefore the streets were safer as everyone was together looking out for one another , most people nowadays don’t even know there neighbours
i love these animation of karl and how he explains :D cant stop watching
I was born in 99, but I live on a housing estate, when I was younger (7-12) everyone on the street was out on their bike, playing cricket or footy, great times. I think it helps I didn’t get an Xbox till I was about 14 tho.
Good lord... I was 10. Man I am happy I was young enough to be around before the Internet came about.
I'm a kid who actually sits in front of the computer a lot and I still agree with that. In fact, this is one of the few things Karl got very right.
Sounds like he had a perfectly normal, healthy childhood to me. Summer holidays were spent out on my bike with my mates, getting up to mischief or playing football. Tbh I can look back now and realise I was a lot happier back then.
He's absolutely right. People think everything was best when they were young
Great ,clever advertisement for their videos/DVDs. I agree with Karls' views. They are real and close to reality. The fact that the other comments make this a great SHOW ! displays the cleverness of these three brilliant comedians/actors. Three clever people !!!
AMAZING
Karl is truly a phenomenon!!
Fantastic : )
I was talking to my friend about this the other day. I was born in the late 80's, and we seem to be the last of the 'playing out' era of children.
i was born in 1994 and trust me you weren't me n my mate once went out every day for one and a half years solid we even made it a competition who would break first and stay in for a day christmas included
Karl just words can't express!!!
I know exactly what Karl means. Me and my freinds used to play around and walk about the city all day long in the early 80's. And there were no mobile phones for our parents to call us. But no-one was worried. Things were so care-free. Its difficult to explain...
Still, kids today have got hours and hours of Pilkington gold to listen to, don't feel too bad for them ;)
“Oh there you are! Alright mate. *nose sniff*”
I completely agree. I don't know your age but I'm 27 and I can relate to that so much.
For once I completely agree with Karl.
I love karl. Him as a baby just makes sense....I knew he was like that as a baby its just sweet to hear it from him!!!
yeh, i spent my childhood play COD and games non stop, it was great!
Karl: I spent my childhood playing outside
Ricky: Haha what a fool why didn't you stay glued to the TV??!!?
Karl Pilkington is a fucking LEGEND!
Same!
always, always, always out on my bike 😂🙌🏻
I relate and I'm glad this guy found someone to find him funny. Without that you're just some sad guy.
awww adorable baby Karl
I agree, I was born 1991, and my childhood was exactly like that, I was always outside but with all these video games and reasons to be inside most people do just stay inside, I love video games, but if its nice out, im still usually outside.
That's allot of cake for a quid lol!
Probably a Congress Tart
How did ricky and steve just leave the pet magpie???
But yet in another podcast they pull him straight up on it...Makes you wonder is some of it scripted ?
They already had talked about how Karl's dad wanted to burn the Magpie in the fireplace once it had died, but his mom wanted the other Magpie to have some company, so she plucked some feathers from the dead one, pasted them to a rock and put it in the cage before they burned up the dead one.
@@mister_mozzarella That was budgies, His magpie, Maggy, flew off when he took it to school
@@keithstephenson2248 Oh-ho.
@@alanoshea2132 i think there's just so much stuff packed so densely into everything karl says that it's hard to really get after all of it. you'd never get anywhere if you didn't pick and choose which details to ask him to expand on lol
Steve merchant makes a normal childhood sound odd
Karl, as usual, competely right.
This is comedy gold. ..
Yeah you're 100 % right, back in the late 80's-early 90's me and my friends would be out all day, our parents knew we would always find our way home and we knew every little corner of our neighbourhood. Simpler, easier times.
I love it when Karl says knockin bout.
Godamn this guy is such a mood
Love
i so agree about going out to play in the streets and all !!!! i lived in a compound growing up in the 90's and was outside alone playing with other kids all the time
i 100% agree with Karl about 90% of the time
yeah those hazy days are long gone my friend :(
Coming home to swig a glass of juice then back out again.. Reminds me of my childhood. Must be a northern thing, I was out all day when i was younger.
After watching years of karl I now realise hes the intellect, he had the best outlook through life
He's not but youre not clever enough to see that
Same here, out on my bike most of the time. Not just when I was 12 or 13. But 17-18 at sixth form when me and my mates started putting in serious mileage.
That was what i was like as a kid, always out. Loving life
I don't see anything weird with this. I was the same in the 80s just out playing all the time as a kid. Roaming around. Its sad kids these days don't get to experience that.
When i was 12 me and my friends and cousins used to spend the whole weekend on our bikes. Good times
pet magpie? That´s pretty dope
The bit with Karl ending up in the pub gave me memories!!!
I remember when I was around 12 to 14 (1994-96) I'd be down at my local football pitch with my friends and people/teens from my road, and we'd play football all the time. Then on a Sunday, when Sky Sports started Super Sunday.....the Club would open their bar and everyone would go in and watch United vs Liverpool etc....and as a 12 yr old you were allowed in. Just to drink cordial or Coke, with some peanuts. Surrounded by people who you knew, and your parents knew you were safe. I was about a 2 minute walk from my house. Folks never once had to come looking for me. We didn't have mobiles etc. It was just safe. It was so awesome.
Karl is right btw 😅❣
