That cuddle party was fucking bizarre. Edit: Karl excusing himself from the cuddle party was comedy gold. “I’ll have to get going you know, cause of the traffic”.. The lady is like “wait what are you talking about? There’s no traffic, it’s an empty road for like 2000 miles”… Cuts to Karl driving off & honking his horn 😂😂😂😂
@@MandyCaneLane Haha, I haven’t seen this series in ages. Im still waiting for the “balloon” episode, idk when it’s coming but it is the funniest thing I ever saw. You might need someone nearby to help you, I couldn’t breathe properly for nearly an hour when I first saw it!
4:30 The Preston Bypass was the first section of road that was built to motorway specs opened in the UK but it wasn’t designed as the M6 until it was hooked up to the cross country motorway that was later built and designated the M6. The M1 was the first designated motorway built in the post war years, and because other long motorways were being constructed at the time, it was the first proper long motorway, so it was called the M1.
Pinball Wizard is a great song by The Who, a legendary band, just for anyone who hasnt heard of it. The "deaf, dumb and blind", I assume dumb is referring to the older meaning of being mute rather than the newer meaning of being unintelligent.
I think it's free dancing he likes, just improvising to music and not caring how he looks, not learning a choreography and performing for an audience. These are two VERY different things ;)
37:20 the coconuts at fairs thing is an old hangover from Victorian England, when the coconut was a rare, exotic and quite expensive delicacy that had to be transported by ship from the colonies.
Only a short section of road called the Preston bypass was the first motorway standard road constructed , later it became part of M6 motorway from central England to Glasgow in Scotland ❤
If you think an American has the faintest idea where either of those places are you're seriously mistaken.he has a chance with me saying Midlands to Scotland .
San Diego - Chicago. It's an interesting, 2,448 mile journey. However, it doesn't compare to the Great Barrier Reef, the Pyramids, Machu Picchu, the Alps, Venice etc.
the thing with Karl is that he has a low threshold in comfort, generally...like how you would say about pain threshold. Every lil thing thats out of his comfort zone, he looks like hes in pain or anguish🤣 I would have luved that truck drive going up and down the hills!!🤗
Desperate Dan was a character in a UK comic called the Dandy, he was notably strong and famous for eating cow pie, the comic was published from 4 December 1937 - 4 December 2012
If I recall, Route 66 was very important and it essentially had towns that were built up and prospered around it. Then they set up highways and different routes directing around those towns, and in doing so destroyed the livelihoods and industry of many of those towns, as noone was passing through. So theres a lot of old fashioned "sleepy towns" on the original Route 66. So I guess thats part of the experience and charm
Wasn't it the route all the people that were seeking better economic opportunities going to California from the East/Midwest had to take, like the Okies in John Steinbeck's "Grapes of Wrath" during the Depression or it was the route all that just wanted to drive across America took.
@@scipioafricanus5871 well it was a very long connecting road but that long travel meant lots of small towns were set up along the road that the travellers used and they prospered for it being the only route to go on travelling that distance by car. Billy Connolly and The Hairy Bikers both have Route 66 shows in which they discuss about it and visit some of the small towns to talk with locals aswell as passing through the now ghost towns
@@wildwine6400 The Billy Connolly documentary of his trip on Route 66 is great. He really took the time to stop and see all the odd attractions and talk to the people who lived in the little towns.
The big appeal of Route 66 is that it's a way to experience the so-called "real" America, or at least it was... Lots of small towns sprang up along it, relatively untouched by the major corporations. So you got lots of unique restaurants, motels, attractions and stores, a lot of it family owned businesses, lot's of cool architecture, a bit like stepping back in time to the 1950s. That coupled with some pretty spectacular scenery that's been the backdrop to a lot of classic movies. Plus of course there's the song Route 66, made famous by Chuck Berry and later covered b The Rolling Stones. Billy Connolly did a great documentary series on it, following it all the way from Chicago to L.A.
Desperate dan was a cartoon cowboy in a children's comic book in the UK And mushy peas really is a big thing in the north of England where Karl is from
with deaf, dumb and blind, the dumb means a person doesn't speak, so being deaf and blind, it is very difficult to learn language. Hellen Keller is a rare exception. many people in the past had little opportunity.
I've been dying for you to see this episode. Knowing the wing walk was coming all this time and having to wait.... but it was really worth the wait. The guy with the gold mine was one of my fave characters too (along with the snow guy who kept asking Karl "Are you alright?" and the Russian taxi driver). Fantastic episode overall, made even better by your reaction to it. I was laughing along with you. And the irony that the small car Karl was driving is called a 'Smart' car. :) I'd love to do Route 66. I'll have to stick to the M1 for now but I've driven that enough times now and it's boring :) Great episode, amazing reaction ! Best reaction channel out there.
@@MandyCaneLane Yes, it was brilliant. How did Karl do that wing talk and not the bungee? If you had to do a bungee jump off a high bridge or a wing walk, which one would you choose? :)
@@CMDRRustyDog I have jumped off an airplane several times, I would never do a bungee. My vertigo would never let me get onto that platform. While flying you don't really get that feeling of falling, that knot in the stomach, that you get with bungee. There isn't that sudden acceleration of a free fall. You're going at a steady speed, just changing direction. The worst part about sky diving, was getting myself to step out of the airplane into nothingness. Once I was out, there was no feeling of falling, just hovering.
Right up until the end, I completely forgot about the air plane thing 😂 this is one of my favourite episodes ever just because of that. “ you bastards!” 🤣🤣🤣
15:28 Mandy, do you remember a Ricky Gervais Show episode where Karl is talking about not liking "false fun" (there's a clip of a British advert for a supermarket where a party does a conga line), and maybe this Glee thing, was forced upon him and it's nothing like in Africa where he does join in and seems to have fun.
In the UK, the motorways got their designation when they were finished. So the M6 was completed after the M1 but part of it was open earlier. These were called by-passes. They take traffic around the town. So multiple by-passes can be joined up to form a motorway network linking cities and taking traffic off local routes.
Obviously you've got to be careful with comments on TH-cam cause there will always be know-it-alls to correct you. I didn't mean when they were finished I meant their importance. M1 is obviously significantly more important than the M62. If you wanted to be really pedantic you could say the Preston by-pass wasn't a motorway at all since it didn't take you anywhere. The M1 was the first FULL motorway opening in 1959, so I guess time is a factor.
@@simonrobbins8357 There's many reasons for the numbering system. Your argument is simply conjecture. The important routes in the UK motorway network have lower numbers. The fact is M1, M3 ad M4 are all routes into London. Then the M5 and M6 link up the west of the country. So, yes, I do place those higher up due to importance. BTW, I'm the biggest smart arse on TH-cam so don't even try to compete 😁
@@jasongoodacre It's about not spreading utter BS. I don't "know it all", the road numbering system in the UK is pretty fucking obvious to anyone that is awake and lives here. If you don't know something, don't take that as an excuse to make up some random crap and disseminate it publicly.
@@Sloane77 Respectfully, are you controlling your brain or is your brain controlling you? There is nothing better that Karl Dilkington and Warrick Davis. They are better than the finest gold jewelry. When you see them, the only thing you can say is, "Look at the gleam on that."
Mushy peas are as normal as it comes for with fish from a chippy. Chips, fish and mushy peas. If you are up north, they have gravy for the chips to. The peas are a dried pea, that are soaked over night with sodium bicarbonate to make them mushy. So its a guacamole like texture
I only heard cow from him after you said it, like Peter Kay with his misheard lyrics. On how they find this stuff, UK TV channels have been hunting down the most bizarre experiences in the US since at least the 1990s with Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends. They've had years and years of practise finding these kooks.
Mushy peas are indeed a huge thing in the north of England, with fish and chips as Karl said. So much so that this combo has even made its way here (N Ireland).
Mandy Mandy Mandy 😂😂😂 I tried having my lunch watching this with you. IMPOSSIBLE when he was dancing, I split my lunch on my lap 😂😂😂😂😂 FANTASTIC reaction Mandy, too funny. Btw, I was in pain too roflmao ❤
I saw last year, Valerie was looking at having to leave the place they did cuddle parties. They needed $200k to rent the land again or something like that. So now they just move around to different places
haven't looked into it but it could just be British roads weren't named when they were first built and the first road got named the M6 just because of which order of naming they went in. sort of like how in the USA's most common street name is 2nd street, because all of the ones named 1st street usually get changed to place names or named after people.
This episode is the main reason I said skip the opening, as it actually shows Karl on the plane doing the loop da loop, completely spoiling the surprise of it
@@MandyCaneLane Moaning of Life is the worst show ever for spoilers, they have a "coming up on this episode" before the episodes highlighting the good bits!
I think Karl loves to dance and join in on the action at his own pace and conditions, so he can do whatever he wants. I think when it's planned or choreographed, he hates that 😂 Have a good one Mandy, reactions to Karl are great stuff!
i can't believe i never noticed the two women kissing at the cuddle party, until you paused it there. this reminds me of a certain incident happend recently with a holy man... but not as weird!
The m6 may have been the first motorway, im not sure, before the M1, as there was not as much traffic back in the day, most roads were 2 lane roads, dual carraige ways, which sort of all went to london A1, A2 A3 and so on, Then M6 M1 M3 M4 came later as traffic and more cars on the road.
You've got a knack of giving me good Mandy and Karl videos when I need it. Karl mentions Desperate Dan. He was a brute in the comic The Dandy. There's a statue of him in my home city of Dundee, Scotland as the Dandy and the Beano comics were invented there.
I live about an hour south of Santa Monica… but yeah, So Cal native here - like you Mandy 🙂 no one even mentions Route 66. It’s an historic highway, but, in this day and age, it’s obsolete. I’ve driven all over the west. It’s fun watching Karl drive across it though haha… “We’re watching that again.” lol. You’re the best. Operating a shotgun without overalls is indeed a law here haha…
To be fair, every image of an old school prospector I've seen is just a regular schlubby miner. Never seen a rich gold prospector, unless they're in charge of some giant mining operation.
I think the romantic idea of Route 66 stems from the Nat 'King' Cole song that's been covered by everyone, "Get your kicks on Route 66..." That odd Velociraptor thing Karl was doing with the Glee kids... His vehicle was a Smart Car, a three cylinder, rear engined city car. Helen Keller, didn't she bend spoons?
when he shoutted 'YOU STUPID BASTARD' when the bat flew at him and the gold miner guy is like 'what did you call me?!' i always found that bit insanely funny lool
I think the Route 66 thing is partly just a kind of epic road trip thing, and partly because of the iconic movie Easy Rider which was filmed along stretches of it. Sometimes, things just develop a kind of cultural mystique, until you look behind the veil and it's just a road 😁
Sorry for watching and replying late this time. I'd never seen you replay a whole scene before haha. Was totally the best hour of my week watching you and Karl, such a great combo 🤗
You mentioned your 10 favourite (or favorite as an American would say) people at the start. I've watched your videos for a while now so based on what you have said in the past, I've imagined who else might be on the list. 1. Karl Pilkington 2. Mum (or Mom as an American would say) 3. Dad (or Pop as an American would say) 4. Jesus Christ/Jehovah 5. Charlie Costa 6. Bob Mortimer 7. Brother 1 8. Brother 2 9. Alberto Fernández 10. The Donald. I bet I'm right.
Point of contention: Route 66 (the old one) came up through Missouri, caught I-55 in St. Louis and went all the way up to Chicago, spilling out onto Lake Shore Drive (official end/start). It did NOT, however, go through ANY PART OF INDIANA!
Oddly enough, going UP I-55 you’d go through Springfield, Illinois. One hour to the east is an Amish community in Arcola, IL. Wouldn’t EVEN have to go into Indiana.
Yeah, for some reason, old style fairs and fates in the UK often give coconuts as prizes. Sometimes you have to knock one off a stand with a tennis ball to win it. Coconuts and goldfish. I dont know why.
'Desperate Dan' is a cowboy character in a classic British comic book and the 'Deaf Dumb & Blind Kid' are lyrics from a famous rock song by the band 'The Who' called 'Pinball Wizard' the 'Dumb' meaning he didn't speak but despite all that he was great at playing Pinball
I'm sure the fact that the boy in Pinball Wizard couldn't speak was simply an artistic choice for the character that fit the film. Pete Townshend wrote it and he's considered quite the intellectual so I don't think there's any way on earth that he wrote the character as deaf and mute because he didn't understand that the the two aren't necessarily correlated. I would add that many people in the not too distant past chose not to speak because of the negative or unwanted attention atypical voices sometimes attract, so this could have been the reason for the choice as dumbness/muteness doesn't necessarily imply a physiological connection.
Another great ending, but for a very different reason to the last one.😅 He was complaining about Route 66. At least there is interesting stuff to see along the way. There's a region here between South Australia and Western Australia called the Nullarbor Plain, and oh boy is it plain🙁. It's over 1000km of flat nothing, not even trees (hence the name Null - 'no,' and Arbor - 'tree'. It's such a long, boring drive that if you tell someone you're travelling across the Nullarbor, they'll respond with a groan and then offer their condolences.😂 Give me Route 66 any day.
Ive always wanted to take a road trip across American. Probaly because Ive watched a lot of films like Vanishing pioint and Duel, but it seems like such a great experience. Vast deserts and long roads in the middle of now where. You dont really get that over here in the UK. Your always close to close to someones house 🤣
If you can find a way to separate the audio streams e.g. with OBS - then you can raise or lower the volume in post for each stream and try to make it so the audio only peaks to the orange zone in the volume mixer. Using a compressor plugin in OBS will manage any peaking audio too so it never goes too high. A normalizer will ensure the volume of everything is fairly equal and nothing is too quiet or too loud in the video.
49:22 Mandy: "I love I love oh my God I love that they are laughing at him (Karl)." Me: "That only goes to show the universal appeal of Karl Pilkington. Karl's cultural reach is greater than that of James Bond."
We do eat mushy peas in England with fish and chips but it doesnt just mean peas that have gone old like it seems to mean here, it means peas that have been semi-pureed.
One of yours (and Karl's) best! I was surprised Karl lasted as long as he did at The Cuddle Party. Karl: "That's enough fun for me." Yes. Words to live by.
Lol spiderman going to a funeral made me giggle! This is another great video! They should have got Karl to go to area 51, that would've been so so funny
That cuddle party was fucking bizarre.
Edit: Karl excusing himself from the cuddle party was comedy gold. “I’ll have to get going you know, cause of the traffic”..

Correct dumb means can't speak which possibly led to being dumb as in stupid.great song by the who from rock opera tommy
yeah dumb is middle english for silent not being able to speak
As in "dumbstruck". Struck dumb, speechless, ofc
I hate that song with a passion, for no apparent reason. I respect The Who though.
Dumb was an old word for 'mute' ie: cant speak
Oh. Oops. 🫠

Yeah, a whole new perspective! I had to watch the dancing twice too!
I am so delighted you enjoyed!! 🤗🌻
@@MandyCaneLane I agree. I already loved this episode, but your enjoyment enhanced it

Sadly this is the American broadcast version which doesn't have Karl doing "Jump" by Van Halen at the Glee show
Search "Karl Pilkington - Jump" its about 3 minutes. React to that
Will definitely do! Thank you! 🤗
16:14 High winds could quickly turn that into thousands of shards of glass.
There's a part of Karl singing Van Halen - Jump that gut cut from this version, you could check that out, too

This whole episode was just non stop fun 😅

The m6 may have been the first motorway, im not sure, before the M1, as there was not as much traffic back in the day, most roads were 2 lane roads, dual carraige ways, which sort of all went to london A1, A2 A3 and so on, Then M6 M1 M3 M4 came later as traffic and more cars on the road.
You've got a knack of giving me good Mandy and Karl videos when I need it.
Karl mentions Desperate Dan. He was a brute in the comic The Dandy. There's a statue of him in my home city of Dundee, Scotland as the Dandy and the Beano comics were invented there.
Hope you have a wonderful tomorrow Ross! 🙌🏻
@@MandyCaneLane, thank you! You too! 😊
I live about an hour south of Santa Monica… but yeah, So Cal native here - like you Mandy 🙂 no one even mentions Route 66. It’s an historic highway, but, in this day and age, it’s obsolete. I’ve driven all over the west. It’s fun watching Karl drive across it though haha… “We’re watching that again.” lol. You’re the best. Operating a shotgun without overalls is indeed a law here haha…
To be fair, every image of an old school prospector I've seen is just a regular schlubby miner. Never seen a rich gold prospector, unless they're in charge of some giant mining operation.
10:58 Karl: "Singers and dancers... do we need 'em?"
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love watching your reaction to these, it's such fun! 🧡
Thank you so much! It works out great because I love watching these!! 🤪
@@MandyCaneLane 😆 Perfect! And you've still got season 3 and The Moaning of Life - which you'll love just as much 🥳
This is one of the best reactions ever. Love this
Thank you so very much! 🙌🏻🤗
"Spider-Man at a funeral" Fucking genius
This man is brilliant 🤣🤣
The Mandy & Karl show delivers again...Absolutely brilliant....
🙈🤗
My favourite episode 🤣 I’ve cried laughing at this numerous times…..and I’m glad to see I’m not only one🤣🤣🤣
I think the romantic idea of Route 66 stems from the Nat 'King' Cole song that's been covered by everyone, "Get your kicks on Route 66..." That odd Velociraptor thing Karl was doing with the Glee kids...
His vehicle was a Smart Car, a three cylinder, rear engined city car. Helen Keller, didn't she bend spoons?
when he shoutted 'YOU STUPID BASTARD' when the bat flew at him and the gold miner guy is like 'what did you call me?!' i always found that bit insanely funny lool
This episode was chock-full of brilliant moments! 🤣
I just came across you're channel I LOVE seeing Americans watching Karl as a brit myself 😂
He is one of my all time favorite people now!
I think the Route 66 thing is partly just a kind of epic road trip thing, and partly because of the iconic movie Easy Rider which was filmed along stretches of it. Sometimes, things just develop a kind of cultural mystique, until you look behind the veil and it's just a road 😁
When he was dancing in the musical that was hilarious 😂
How can someone as cute as you not like hugging Mandy, it's the most natural thing in the world.
I do like hugging, but people I know and care about. Not strangers.. 🤷🏻♀️
@@MandyCaneLane Glad to hear it, and there was me thinking miserable Karl was rubbing off on you! I am sure Mandy's hugs are lovely.
Manchester had about seven generations of robotic factory work and ended up with these beings
Hahaha... I've been looking forward to you watching this one based in America. Such a great ep, and probably more relatable to you! Thanks again. :)
🌈🤗
Sorry for watching and replying late this time. I'd never seen you replay a whole scene before haha. Was totally the best hour of my week watching you and Karl, such a great combo 🤗
Don't apologise! You do as you please! And the Karl dancing was simply * too much * 🤣
@@MandyCaneLane Haha okay. How can something be too much when we can't get enough of it 🤪😄
I'm soo glad I subscribed to you cos I woulda never got around to watching these!!
So glad I can spread the wonder of Karl! 🙌🏻🤪🤣
🤣🤣 absolutely hilarious,I have tears in my beard and aching face muscles.👍
I’m so happy I’ve found this channel! You talk about Karl & react to him the same way I do. Feel like I’ve found a kindred spirit. 💚
Your laugh 11:40 - 12:00 should be a gif 🤣
🤣🤪
I can’t wait until Mandy sees the “aquatic stag beetle” incident
27:13 This reminds me of a quote by Hugh Laurie: "America is too big to know itself" 🤔 So you're the outsider here too 😂
Lmao!! Very true!
I rode across Vietnam in 2019
We tried our hardest to stay off the QL1A main highway
The more we went on the back roads, the better.
You mentioned your 10 favourite (or favorite as an American would say) people at the start. I've watched your videos for a while now so based on what you have said in the past, I've imagined who else might be on the list.
1. Karl Pilkington
2. Mum (or Mom as an American would say)
3. Dad (or Pop as an American would say)
4. Jesus Christ/Jehovah
5. Charlie Costa
6. Bob Mortimer
7. Brother 1
8. Brother 2
9. Alberto Fernández
10. The Donald.
I bet I'm right.
OMG!!! Hahahahahha!!! Almost close! LOL!!!
Don't think I have heard the expression "mega" since the 90's. MCL is an old soul.
Lol. Ahh, the good old days. 🤭
Point of contention: Route 66 (the old one) came up through Missouri, caught I-55 in St. Louis and went all the way up to Chicago, spilling out onto Lake Shore Drive (official end/start). It did NOT, however, go through ANY PART OF INDIANA!
Oddly enough, going UP I-55 you’d go through Springfield, Illinois. One hour to the east is an Amish community in Arcola, IL. Wouldn’t EVEN have to go into Indiana.
Yeah, for some reason, old style fairs and fates in the UK often give coconuts as prizes. Sometimes you have to knock one off a stand with a tennis ball to win it. Coconuts and goldfish. I dont know why.
'Desperate Dan' is a cowboy character in a classic British comic book and the 'Deaf Dumb & Blind Kid' are lyrics from a famous rock song by the band 'The Who' called 'Pinball Wizard' the 'Dumb' meaning he didn't speak but despite all that he was great at playing Pinball
Mushy Peas are very popular in the UK in Fish & Chips shops
I'm sure the fact that the boy in Pinball Wizard couldn't speak was simply an artistic choice for the character that fit the film. Pete Townshend wrote it and he's considered quite the intellectual so I don't think there's any way on earth that he wrote the character as deaf and mute because he didn't understand that the the two aren't necessarily correlated.
I would add that many people in the not too distant past chose not to speak because of the negative or unwanted attention atypical voices sometimes attract, so this could have been the reason for the choice as dumbness/muteness doesn't necessarily imply a physiological connection.
Another great ending, but for a very different reason to the last one.😅
He was complaining about Route 66. At least there is interesting stuff to see along the way. There's a region here between South Australia and Western Australia called the Nullarbor Plain, and oh boy is it plain🙁. It's over 1000km of flat nothing, not even trees (hence the name Null - 'no,' and Arbor - 'tree'. It's such a long, boring drive that if you tell someone you're travelling across the Nullarbor, they'll respond with a groan and then offer their condolences.😂
Give me Route 66 any day.
🤣🤣🤣 Oh boy... that does sound boring 😅
I love that we always get an episode of the Ricky Gervais show and Idiot Abroad in close succession 😂
Ive always wanted to take a road trip across American. Probaly because Ive watched a lot of films like Vanishing pioint and Duel, but it seems like such a great experience. Vast deserts and long roads in the middle of now where. You dont really get that over here in the UK. Your always close to close to someones house 🤣
Have you never visited north Wales or Scotland?
If you can find a way to separate the audio streams e.g. with OBS - then you can raise or lower the volume in post for each stream and try to make it so the audio only peaks to the orange zone in the volume mixer. Using a compressor plugin in OBS will manage any peaking audio too so it never goes too high. A normalizer will ensure the volume of everything is fairly equal and nothing is too quiet or too loud in the video.
Thank you 🤗
deaf dumb and blind the dumb part is not meaning stupid or thick the dumb bit means mute unable to speak
Oh. Oops 🫠
@35:24 thought we were getting flipped off but it's just the cameraman holding the camera backwards.
🤭🤭
49:22 Mandy: "I love I love oh my God I love that they are laughing at him (Karl)."
Me: "That only goes to show the universal appeal of Karl Pilkington. Karl's cultural reach is greater than that of James Bond."
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was gonna go to bed to sleep but I’m staying up an extra hour to watch this 👍
Hope you are having sweet Karl on airplane filled dreams now then. 🤪
@@MandyCaneLane 🤣
We do eat mushy peas in England with fish and chips but it doesnt just mean peas that have gone old like it seems to mean here, it means peas that have been semi-pureed.
56:31 For a moment I wondered whether that was Luke, the producer, that took another one for Karl.
🤭
14:00 "When in doubt, do Jazz hands!" needs to be a shirt.
🤣🤣🤣
One of yours (and Karl's) best! I was surprised Karl lasted as long as he did at The Cuddle Party. Karl: "That's enough fun for me." Yes. Words to live by.
Right? Seems like it was quite a while 😅
@@MandyCaneLane I remember Karl said about being present, but not participating in activities, either you join in or get out.
I remember when you told me you were going to give me a cuddle once, I was so excited. Until I found out a cuddle once is a big pillow.
My god, your reaction to Karl in Glee had me in tears 😂
Karl in glee had me in tears! What a beautiful cycle! 🤣
Lol spiderman going to a funeral made me giggle! This is another great video! They should have got Karl to go to area 51, that would've been so so funny
🤣🤣🤣
