1:55 Karl is so fucking right there "It depends on what you class as important in life". Karl gains happiness from doing stuff like fixing things so why would he need to be "smart" by going through tons of education or whatever?
The fantastic idea behind An idiot abroad, in my opinion is not that its simply about hurting, or exclusively ridiculing Karl. Its the idea of taking a small and content man, insular but a genuinely good person at heart and engaging them in big things. not just pushing someone out of their comfort zone and laughing at their discomfort ( albeit I'd be a liar if I wasn't selfishly amused at all of it) but exposing someone who would have never taken the initiative on their own to do incredible things and experiences....and occasionally asking them to try goat penis and decade old rotten fish. And for what its worth he reminds me more of Bilbo Baggins than Homer Simpson. The man is such a sport time and time again, and while I thank Ricky and Steve for acknowledging the incredible potential for entertainment maybe philosophical areas as well, I wish they would give Karl a well, well deserved moment in the sun
Not only is Karl not thick, he's a far superior actor to that pair. Eamon and Ruth were in 'Annually Retentive' with Rob Brydon, performances that'd be judged sub-par, even in a primary school nativity play.
Karl is so lucky to have met Ricky and become friends. He's been on TV, Podcasts, traveled the world, met famous people, etc. Just think, if Ricky had not gotten that job at XFM, what would Karl be doing now?
Karl Pilkington is not an idiot. He just has a different outlook to stuff, while his ideas and stuff might seem ridiculous they do have logic behind them. I kinda think I'm a bit like him. I come up with some strange things. Few people will say oh that's a good thought actually (like my nan), others just think I'm an idiot.
"Got an E in history" Bit of Karl trivia: THAT WAS HIS ONLY O LEVEL. Way back in Ricky Gervais' show on XFM they investigated his O Level results because he couldn't remember them, and found out History was the only one he sat, and he got an E in it XD He got sort of pissed at Ricky and Steve for finding out and saying it on Radio so it's funny he mentioned it on national TV lol.
Partition be damned, Eamonn Holmes is an insult to the character of the entire Island of Ireland. Such a smug, pretentious person belittling a modest, soft-spoken guest. Karl hates interviews because they're held on networks that value inhuman traits of glibness and Car-Salesman Charm. Karl is much too genuine to function in an atmosphere of insincerity.
Ricky and steve and karl are all mates, and they're joking, Eamonn is calling Karl an idiot to his face when they aren't friends, and he clearly means it in a malicious way. Almost as if he hates karl.
"tell me, Karl, are you really stupid?" ROFLMAO Anyone else would be insulted by that question, but Karl just answers it, like he was asked a normal question. Man I can't wait to see Idiot Abroad 2
You're only prick eamonn. Have some respect, Karl is a gentle, genuine, good-natured human being, with a fantastic sense of humour. He doesn't need your pompous snobbery directed at him.
@@Talisman09 hey im from a year in the future to tell you that the comment you were replying to, is sarcastic. He's actually mocking the hosts comment. Im going to travel a year back in time now, unfortunately you wont be able to see this until a year after your comment.
I hate these shows where they just have people on to plug their stuff and show a trailer...you really learn nothing you wouldn't just by watching their show/movie. They need to just let Karl talk, that's what's interesting about him.
I had no problem with Eamon Holmes until he was rude about Karls common sense. I've listened to pretty much everything Karl's ever said (radio/tv) and he is my hero.
Yes. What's your point? Just because he puts on a 'dumb' persona doesn't mean he's actually an idiot. He's an intelligent man, he just doesn't show it because then people wouldn't think he was so funny, they'd just think "Oh he's just putting it on, it's acting, he probably has a script."
Eamon:"First we go to the The Loose Women who you could never describe as [idiots]"
Karl: "Dunno 'bout that".
Amazing.
"If you're watching Loose Women, I don't want you watching my show"
He's on tv but still wearing the shoes he swapped in Africa that's wot u call down 2 earth
If you asked him why
You know the answer would be,
“Why not? They’re fine.”
It's to save money firstly.
@@reinforcedpenisstem sorry I didn’t know that
"but why are you sat 'ere? we got bills to pay" LOL
Ain't we 😂😂😂
Love Karl's sly dig at Eamon when he said he'd be the king in Ireland
0:23 - The moment my immense love for Karl increased higher than I ever even thought possible.
"I think they bully him" ... 1 minute earlier: "are you stupid?"
Ok Eamonn.
@The World War Two I think him and his wife are
How could anyone not love Karl? I just want to squeeze his fucking head.
True dat! He is amazing :)
Don't you dare ruin his roundness
1:55 Karl is so fucking right there "It depends on what you class as important in life". Karl gains happiness from doing stuff like fixing things so why would he need to be "smart" by going through tons of education or whatever?
I love how he's still wearing the shoes he bought in Uganda.
karl is just such a top bloke, he loved it when that tribesman put his arm round him bless him.
I love How Karl is actually really smart, smarter than most people.
Lol "we go to the loose women that you could never describe as that" karl "i dont know about that"
Pilkington is not the stupid one, hes getting to see the world and be paid for it!
Did terrible in school, gets called stupid, becomes a radio producer and then goes around the world 3 times and gets paid for it. He's a genius
wolf of novac and now he has his own sitcom coming out soon
@@farty2264 is he a genius or is Ricky pretty stupid?
No really stop looking at him with the idea that he's stupid and he's actually so smart it's not even funny
But to him, that's punishment.
The amount of times I've heard "E in 'istory" is incredible
eamonn holmes needs a good kick up the hole for treating such a sweet man like this.
That's such a sweet little moment there in the truck with Karl and the little man he gave the coin to.
"I'm happy at home; beans on toast and the telly"

loose women- 'we could never call them idiots'.
KP- 'don't know about that'
YES KARL!
There are few people in this world happier in their own skin that karl. Something we can all learn from
Not only is Karl not thick, he's a far superior actor to that pair.
Eamon and Ruth were in 'Annually Retentive' with Rob Brydon, performances that'd be judged sub-par, even in a primary school nativity play.

I can tell you exactly what Karl’s response would be:
“Don’t worry about it. We’re here now, what’s the point of looking back too much”
Karl Pilkington is not an idiot.
He just has a different outlook to stuff, while his ideas and stuff might seem ridiculous they do have logic behind them. I kinda think I'm a bit like him. I come up with some strange things. Few people will say oh that's a good thought actually (like my nan), others just think I'm an idiot.
Lol my boyfriend is the same way XD
Wow that male host... ugh
Karl saying "I'm not an idiot" got me good 😂
Hes not.
Hes uneducated but not an idiot
WOOO... Come to Newcastle.
They should of called it 'this moaning' 😂 for this episode aha :)
ive got a snake in my boot
Alright joke but ruined by laughing at your own pun.
loved the 'cheers ruth' handwave
Every video with a Karl Pilkington interview, all I see are commenters wishing death on the interviewers
LP SP
Yeah haha, that just sums it up. Hardly anyone understands him.
"Got an E in history" Bit of Karl trivia: THAT WAS HIS ONLY O LEVEL. Way back in Ricky Gervais' show on XFM they investigated his O Level results because he couldn't remember them, and found out History was the only one he sat, and he got an E in it XD He got sort of pissed at Ricky and Steve for finding out and saying it on Radio so it's funny he mentioned it on national TV lol.
Yomi ShadowWraith History wasn't the only one. He just didn't register to others.
it wasn't that he forgot what he got. he just never found out
He so honest and down to earth.
Come to Newcastle Karl!
Yes Karl" that's the smartest thing is common sense! You're bloody awesome
haha karl at 0:24 with i dunno about that hilarious!
Karl at the end, off camera: "9 o'clock!" hahaha
Karl "I DONT KNOW ABOUT THAT!" XD lol
Partition be damned, Eamonn Holmes is an insult to the character of the entire Island of Ireland. Such a smug, pretentious person belittling a modest, soft-spoken guest.

he's so naturally funny, it's great... "I've never been to Newcastle!"
0:18 "I don't know about that"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've watched more of Karl than any one else on TV or TH-cam
Adore Karl Pilkington😂😂😂
cool this interview was the day before my birthday, long live carl pilkington!
No wonder Karl retired and packed it all in with Ricky and that.
Being called stupid and an idiot on television, nothing is worth that.
Ricky and steve and karl are all mates, and they're joking, Eamonn is calling Karl an idiot to his face when they aren't friends, and he clearly means it in a malicious way. Almost as if he hates karl.
"tell me, Karl, are you really stupid?" ROFLMAO Anyone else would be insulted by that question, but Karl just answers it, like he was asked a normal question.
Man I can't wait to see Idiot Abroad 2
Brilliant, so quick
This guy is fucking brilliant. I didn't think I would, but I love him.
7:11 the king LMFAO Karl just gets away with it
'I was the same with olives' xD
0:23 "i dont know about that" love karl!
when he says 'I don't know about that' when the presenter says you could never call the loose women idiots :') ahahahah
You're only prick eamonn. Have some respect, Karl is a gentle, genuine, good-natured human being, with a fantastic sense of humour. He doesn't need your pompous snobbery directed at him.
0:32
Him: "Keith Lemon's gorgeous...? Did I just-"
Her: "Yes, yes he is"
Him: "... idiot."
ZING! :D I love this guy
''If you haven't seen it before, here is what it contains'' - brilliant phrasing right here.
every chat show he's been on he never shakes hands with the female host. brilliant
nothing is more funny than to see Karl annoyed when NOT filming an idiot abroad haha
I wish I was a stupid as Karl. Millionaire top show on sky and best friends with Ricky and Steve Good one eamon 👀👀
Ben Ford
He's not stupid.
you're definitely not as smart as karl, genius 😂
@@Talisman09 hey im from a year in the future to tell you that the comment you were replying to, is sarcastic. He's actually mocking the hosts comment. Im going to travel a year back in time now, unfortunately you wont be able to see this until a year after your comment.
@@SuckMyGuides what did the host say? Regardless though anyway, I think I misread that comment, it does seem sarcastic now
The ironic part of this interview was that Karl wasn't the idiot in the room
When a person can give a level headed, self-critical answer to the question "Are you stupid?", it already means that they are not stupid.
This Morning should be presented by Karl and Ruth, and Eamonn Holmes should be sent to Botswana on An Idiot Abroad.
Holy shit, Karl's floating head at 3:51
Funny man our karl
0:20 "...but first we go to the loose women.. who you could never describe as...." Karls voice in the back: "I dunno 'bout that.." hahahaha
2:34 Karl petitioning for the bullying to stop, thats hilarious. "what have you done?"
Karl should just start saying "yeah I'm an idiot. A total div" and people would probably stop going on about it.
I can't believe he got on that airplane. That's guts.
he is diffidently not dumb
I hate these shows where they just have people on to plug their stuff and show a trailer...you really learn nothing you wouldn't just by watching their show/movie. They need to just let Karl talk, that's what's interesting about him.
Come to Newcastle Karl'
Karl has a long career in broadcasting so he is definitely not stupid
Holmes is a complete prat but his wife seems quite normal. Strange that.
He's always talking about his E in History! It's almost like he's showing off about it LOL!! Ah god I love Karl.
"Cheers, Ruth"
"Erm..... Didn't do well at school got an E in History, Left with that" hahaha what a ledge!
Eamonn nobody cares about Ireland it's a tip.
This should be re-titled as:
The two annoying arseholes" - That only let KP get a few words in.
Karl is like suuper social. Most wouldn't like to be called idiots, he no ego :)
hes not an idiot hes a tipical english bloke.....what a legend
Well done Karl, you did well. (As IF you would read this)
I had no problem with Eamon Holmes until he was rude about Karls common sense. I've listened to pretty much everything Karl's ever said (radio/tv) and he is my hero.
I'm from Holland, and I understand English pretty well. But what does the expression 'It does me head in mean' really?
He looked so amused at the pic.
"cheers ruth" "9 o'clock" hahahaha
"I don't know about that."
Yes. His E in History really shows that off :)
"I dunno about that"
Perfect Round Head 😂
Actually, he's fairly intelligent and smarter than most people.
"We shouldn't laugh."
Don't fuckin' kid yourself, the entire show is designed for entertainment.
"I'd be the King in Ireland" ahahahaha
He’s far from a idiot! That’s why he’s sitting in a multi million pound house and most other people are not! He’s genius!
Truth
"mmm I dunno about that"
Wrevaould love to see Gervais & Merchant do the trials they put Karl through !
push number 3 on the keyboard lol
every interview he does he mentions his e in history lol awesome show
God i love that round headed baffoon :D
Yes. What's your point? Just because he puts on a 'dumb' persona doesn't mean he's actually an idiot. He's an intelligent man, he just doesn't show it because then people wouldn't think he was so funny, they'd just think "Oh he's just putting it on, it's acting, he probably has a script."
Shit, I can't believe he's almost 40.
karl rules
