Karl, Ricky and Stephen - An Idiot Abroad

[andrew8907]

1:47 it is so cartoon-like how he remains perfectly still while ricky and steve are so animated.

[andrew8907]

Extra?

[giannicasserini]

i love how he says "you willl realise im not a div" with his hand in his ear!

[gamewall1]

BatmanOneOhOne why do Brits have shitty teeth

[christine39]

HAHAHA! The American that asked the first question tried to use a British word "mates" and i'm sure he was really chuffed about it afterwards.

[Aceroset4]

After 6:00 take note of the beer level in the glasses...

[BatmanOneOhOne]

Why the fuck can't Americans pronounce Gervais properly? It rhymes with "blaze," not "mace."

[DrDeathpwnsu]

I don't think Karl is an idiot at all, and neither of them do really. He just has a peculiar quality of seeing things as matter-of-fact without any kind of bias and emotion, and then from there just applies common sense principles. It is like he thinks in simplified terms, and appears like he is simple-minded sometimes because of that but you can see there is a lot going on in his head. Like he is concerned with just facts, because any subtleties or implications are not the subject matter.

[mrkosilathi]

@DrDeathpwnsu nah, hes an idiot.

[DrDeathpwnsu]

@mrkosilathi nah dude

[wuzcloopin]

Karl might be my favorite person ever.

[b6ns]

skip the first 37 seconds

[TheDark761]

Karl is the Superhero of the 21st century!

[DrummerRidley101]

Jajajaja

[HaydnFitzsimons]

Extras* Not Extra

[dragonforce525]

Oh man, Karl's description of Ricky may be the most genius analogy ever conceived.

[jajajah86]

I don't understand why he calls Pilkington a "mate". They are making fun and laughung at him like "real friends" do right? I guess Karl earns a lot so that it's all worth it...

[TheAli985]

@jajajah86 Im guessing your not British as thats pretty standard here. Would be a bit boring if you didn't laugh at your mates when they say something stupid.

[GypsyDishwasher]

@jajajah86 You don't have friends that you could call a retard and have them laugh it off? Or vice-versa? Nevermind the fact that you could take Karl's "Ricky is a dog" analogy and apply it to their friendship. Maybe when the cameras are around Ricky plays it up, but in private they're more like 'traditional' friends.

[jajajah86]

@GypsyDishwasher We do that with my friends but Karl seems defenceless... :)

[seltit]

Sori Ricky. But the last sec ur face goes from laughing to serious. Obviously all staged and Karl is the the star & real deal. But it's all a game isn't it. Maybe coogan was right....

[DubstepRobat]

@seltit haha are you blind he's just getting a sip of the beer.. and if you didnt know laughter does'nt fade of within 5-10 seconds.. thats just creepy

you should be the idiot inuite

[K1ngs0fL30n]

Cat food. It stinks a bit, but if you don't put up with the smell, the little kitten will die.

[upigoku]

love your show !

[jonny616]

I can't believe they're showing this in the states. I just don't think the Americans will really *get* the little bald manc twat! It's just a quintessentially English show imo, I can't see people getting full enjoyment from it outside of Britain, even if they think they do.

[tidalwavedave305]

Does me 'ead in.

[MichaelScarn23]

lmao at the iron lung comparison 

[XxForTheKillerIsMexX]

Science channel? The fuckk...

[vtecy0o]

what the fuck is "extra"?

[LittleMissGreenEyees]

I love Ricky's laugh!

[RebelFugitive]

"get your knickers off"

[ellagrace810]

"i don't do bungee jumping" unintentional foreshadowing for series two?

[JayJayAbels]

This looks like a hit! Excited for it!

[JSJ07]

OVEN.

[ohlookitsmikey]

at 0:57 he sounds like the butler from the tomb raider games :')

[BobDawg173]

Whenever I hear stephen's voice I always think of wheatley

[sckorpiontrooper]

@BobDawg173 Thats maybe because stephen is wheatley's voice actor :P

[JDReNo1]

I love these 3!

[Olski28]

"like an iron lung, like i need him, but i wish i didn't"

That is genius, Karl is a genius, just not a conventional one

[Manuellaborer]

@Olski28 exactly. people think that Ricky gets karl on board becoz he's an idiot who happens to be funny.

[antgolub]

.....lol

[NotARacistRapist]

why the fuck do they say moron and shit stupid fucking yankee twats you're speaking to english men use real fucking words

[iv5620]

this is amazing. i just love how funny they find karl as well

[BigBaggaBlues]

i dont understand why they show this in america because they wont really get it. they might think they do but they wont. half of the shit on idiot abroad that i find hilarious i swear is only because im a northener and people in the south probably wont find it as funny

[TheDogDaysAreOver]

@BigBaggaBlues I'm from the South and I laugh so hard at An Idiot Abroad that I get tears in my eyes. What you said had so many flaws, it's ridiculous.

[jonny616]

@BigBaggaBlues

Totally agree

[RylekGrey]

@BigBaggaBlues That is either your age or your ignorance shining through. As both a Southerner and a fan of the show, I'm not sure whether to be offended or amused by your comment. Your implication that an entire region of people is too stupid to understand something which you find funny - while simultaneously demonstrating either an aversion to, or ignorance of, elementary grammar and punctuation - based on nothing more than geographical location only reflects poorly on you.

[Mohrkai]

@RylekGrey

Having a diverse vocabulary and condescending upon a fellow commentor makes you non-the-wiser and quite typically makes you the foolish "southern twat" that most northerners learn about. There are different cultures in the north and southern parts of the UK and you are going to sit there and try to say you can understand the views of the one guy in question "Karl Pilkington" with such an extensive and formidable cue as that?

Pull ya heed outta your ass you fuckin' ponce

[Cryer24597]

@RylekGrey That isn't what he was saying. Understand before commenting.

[mabans]

@BigBaggaBlues We think the same thing when it comes to things like dental care & Brits.. Fucking Moron.. we get it just fine.. Ponce.

[BigBaggaBlues]

@mabans ahhhh whatever, you think you do

and what about healthcare

suck my balls

[mabans]

@BigBaggaBlues Why does it always degenerate into some sort of homosexual activity.

[BigBaggaBlues]

@mabans are you homophobic?

[mabans]

@BigBaggaBlues Not at all, I'm not the one offering.. It behooves you to use the proper punctuation so people may not consider you a complete dunce.

[DyslexiaSkucs]

does anybody else hate the way americans say karl?

[bizcit2812]

@DyslexiaSkucs yeah, they say it like carol, but with a thicker a

[sGxMilLHouSe]

5:57 synchronised drinking lol

[EnglishDrums1]

@sGxMilLHouSe That's intentional

[calataris]

i dont mean any offense, but only in america would an idiot abroad be shown on the science channel.

[shadownerd13]

@calataris our science channel isn't that science focused.

[Art3ificial]

@calataris LMAO! Brilliant.

[solo40145]

@calataris im american and i agree. its not science its comedy. hahahaha

[TehCream]

@calataris Zing! haha.

[DanKWynn]

@calataris ahah yeah the country that spends more on research and development than the rest of the fucking world combined. ahahhhahah woo yeah they don't know their science.

[wolverine005]

@DanKWynn You do realise a large percentage of the people doing that research are immigrants? 40% of Americans reject Evolution, one of the strongest fields in Science. Saying that, not all Americans are stupid, and a lot of English people are. Just thought I'd point that out.

[kc6201]

@calataris The show would be better suited for the Travel Channel or even NatGeo, but Discovery doesn't own those. The Science Channel doesn't have that big of a viewership; it's not included in my cable package at all. I've only seen episodes of this program because for a while Charter was letting you watch stuff OnDemand for channels that weren't in the tiers you subscribed to (as long as they weren't premium channels like HBO).

[inmypants0102]

When ricky laugh's, the world laughs.

[YTacc1100]

lol

[Exeron91]

Can you hear us?

[FLAVIN50CAL]

rickey's laugh is something else hahha

[LondonPride25]

Karl's what used to be called an idiot savant, a "stupid wiseman". Sometimes he says something and you think, there's actually a kind of genius hiding in there. Hiding bloody well.

[choongification]

when i heard the earbud story i lolled !!!!! lmao to the shops

[GhostReconGuy]

He's scarified.

[studas2011]

@GhostReconGuy Tune

[MrOzzie94]

These 3 are F*cking Epic!

[rishibawa]

I'm tearing up laughing at this at work with my head down...i hope no one sees me like this hahahahaha

[MrTomman33]

I love Ricky's laugh.

[TheAllboutwin]

@MrTomman33 I know hey! He has the most addictive laugh!

[mugtisersold]

sometimes its as if Karl really doesnt like those two as friends, at all. lol

[SoleSoulility]

Man, I freaking love Ricky's laugh

[rockyfan94]

after this..I'm gonna look in my cupboard for some foodage

[Mundane05]

"An Idiot Abroad is a game changer for us. It's SMART"...

Why can't Discovery just accept one time that they do put some shows on every now and then that have nothing to do with science or intelligence?

[bobolishas]

americans are lucky they are gonna start to see Karl everywhere now he is a genious

[sbeast64]

I didn't know Steve likes Racer X...

[KARMANOIR1]

what does he say at 6:54 ????

[k3nnycromw3ll]

@KARMANOIR1 Like an iron lung

[KARMANOIR1]

@k3nnycromw3ll

haha thanks!

[DaGleese]

what is this 'extra' that woman is going on about?

does she mean extras?

[mcjuvey1]

oh my god, i could watch these three in a room together all month!!

[dhadfield91]

HE'S SCARIFIED!

[IPOWNYOURFACE]

i love ricky laugh :D

[waynehtc10]

How can you not realise you have a cotton bud in your ear!! Haha

[MEJML]

Stephen almost fell off his chair laughing at 1:00, and so did I XD

[sprPee]

squirm

[smokinjoe106]

@sprPee There's a Q in that!

[spongebobluver14]

I love Karl so much. He is seriously right? My favorite person in this entire world. hahaha (: such a Leg. :)

[gdavies000]

Karl has the best deadpan delivery I have ever seen.

[JackSuperMoto91]

"Like an iron lung" I sorta need him but i wish i didnt. LMFAO

O GOD CLASSIC

[LittleBabyBum]

"like an iron lung"....*coffee over monitor* moment

[LittleBabyBum]

superb. as always

[ApricotSea]

I love that little occurance at 2:24 -- when Karl's talking about the viewers and Ricky and Steve are both pretending to be listening intently, he says "I think they'll see themselves in me" and they both silently nod their heads in mock agreement. It's like an unspoken truth; even though the average person might relate to Karl, there'll never be anyone quite like him...

[mikeyT1413]

I was crying because I was laughing so much at the start.

[DragonsRule02]

I love them all. Ilovethem<3

[TheCurrey]

Ricky's laugh is infectous!!

[rorrt]

At the start i nearly burst with Karl panicking with the earpiece in.

[laurence265]

iron lung gervais

[RoseLikeSummer09]

Fucking hell thats funny!

[PrekeshC]

extra.

[dom44444]

........................myah..­.

[melissalovesjls]

omg i just love karl so friggin much <3

[diegoinhoops]

Karls getting angry these days. love these 3 to bits

[Doazic]

Why would you clean your own drain? Because it takes a few minutes and it's easy to do?

[MendelsonShape]

I watched from 0:47 to 1:07 about twenty times. Effin hilarious.

[tomabwhite]

@MendelsonShape same, same haha



[tomabwhite]

"Yeah" hahahahahahah

[j1mf1eld]

I've never known a more down to earth bloke than Karl.  I love this bloke.

[ThirstyCharlie]

EXTRA LOL

[Emzlola179]

lol he looks like he is on the phone when he is holding his ear piece

[gaucijas1]

I love the pause before Karl answers the question "Don't you get sick of them calling you a moron?" lol

[supsification]

@gaucijas1 There's a delay.

[JonnyInfinite]

SCIENCE CHANNEL? WTF

[qeinar]

i love the "we're geniuses" line.. xD

[AUsernameFORU]

Karl is so mean to Steve :( Don't worry Steve I love you <3

[MsRrainey]

I'd want to spend a day with these three.

[Jamminator57]

Whoever disliked this video, YOUR THE IDIOT!

[alexortman]

Brilliant! Before Karl can even speak he has ricky and stephen crackin up with his earpiece. And again at the end with the iron lung anology. So strangely brilliant and unexpected. So Karl

[anascorpio]

They look /really/ like two men and their experimental monkey at the beginning of the clip XD

[TheLordHodne]

pack it in

[verbalninja]

i just fucking cried my eyes out with laughter

[93MaddyC]

"it's probably the more scariest I've ever been".....come again Karl?

[Sophageddon]

Love this, love at 0:43 when Karl just points into his ear. Also how he just sits there staring at the camera like a little chimp from1:50-2:00

[LeviR34]

thank you for uploading this video.....made my day XD

[TheBlackFireX]

"When people watch this, I think they'll see themselves in me."

I was just waiting for someone to say, "Yeah, they'll see themselves in the reflection of your little, round head."

[Jay187Dee]

@GSheppo92 Because we take n watch theres

[GSheppo92]

why do the americans have to take and watch our shows -.-

[Izaak247]

This is like me and my mates. I'm Karl ( ugh haha ) Steven is my mate who pisses me off yet I can retaliate whilst Ricky is actually my best mate yet retaliating doesn't seem to work. I'm not even joking it's actually quite uncanny how similar we are haha.. Just a pity I'm Karl lmao

[fuckmanutherecunts]

extras not extra

[ItsSuperFinch]

0:40 - 1:40 --> Greatest minute of my life, rickys laugh is so epic lol

[blackdotsvid]

i love the iron lung analogy!

[CeletialDarkness]

steve? weird? BLASPHEMY! steve is very lovable and cute! <3 ricky is weird but funny!

[mikewozere]

I think that analogy of Ricky Gervais being like a dog is brilliant. Karl can be a genius some times.

[Leiriko]

Oh I love Steve -3 this video is epic but with these three amazing people; how could it not be? Thanks for the upload ^_^

[33brownbear]

"if i dont see you for a few weeks now and again, i sorta go - bloody 'ell"

[vmikozod]

The manager of the house, not your boss at work!!!!! XD OMG, Karl... XD

[101commentary]

I didn't know that Ricky and Steve did "Extra" :p

[vmikozod]

@101commentary Extras, yeah, the lady got it wrong. :D

[hansgrock]

"I sort of need him, but i wish i didnt"!

The K-man ROCKS!

[smintin]

The Office, Extra...

[Butteryjam]

I love how he throws the earpierce away as if it were dangerous :D

[beccatobin2011]

soooo fucking funny! I love these 3 so much :')

[clarkopl]

is that laugh at the end the robot spaceship thing in the fim "the navigator"

[rbbvhd]

karl is the only one sitting like a man

[Butteryjam]

I love how in the early years steve got really offended when karl would call him weird, but now it's obviously happened so often it doesn't even phase him anymore.

[LeonEyedass]

Hilarious though.

[LeonEyedass]

Poor Karl he really is terrfified.

[TheWillJElliott]

the thing about the dog was on the podcasts? still funny though

[ODanboy]

I think it would be great for these guy's to do a competition and let the winner appear in one of their TV shows like "Extras".

I suffer from a mild form of insomnia so I listen to their podcasts every night to help me get to sleep. I'm sure before Ricky got famous he must of dreamt of being on stage with David Bowie, they could make it happen. I have no desire of being famous, winning the lottery YES. Or just to hang out with these guy's would be a good crack "That's what she said."

[callahan9119]

You know when Karl fucks with Steve about his looks that shit cuts to the bone.

[Tommy666999666]

the way he taps Steve, at the start, is hilarious! He is so worried hahaha!

[XsweetstarliteX]

bungee jumping...skateboarding looool what a vast scale of dangerous activities

[Rosvolainen]

This makes me understand how some people think Karl's a character Ricky and Steve made up a little bit better. Not that he is but I see why some would think that.

[gigglegirl788]

I love these guys XD And when steve said "don't panic" I instantly thought of Wheatley XD

[PonyWA]

I genuinly belive that Karl is smarter than Gervais

[wrightman690]

@PonyWA Then you are genuinely a moron who cannot spell the world "genuinely."

[04zambo]

@wrightman690 The World "genuinely" ??? terrible mistake given the context of your arguement.

[scerpalman1]

absolutely hilarious, love how they actually try and play it off as science and Ricky's just like "no"

[jours1]

Blatantly refused to fix his ear piece so he had to hold it the entire interview, making him look like more of a fucking mong.

[JoelH790]

They should make a film with the 3 of them as the main stars

[thestranger4812]

If Karl had said "scarified" he would have been laughed at for hours, when Stephen does it no one notices.

[vertebra23]

@thestranger4812 true true

[57worldwide]

@thestranger4812 He realised his mistake and corrected himself. Less than 5 seconds. There is a difference between their mistakes.

[MrFoxInc]

@thestranger4812

I know where you're coming from, but consider that Stephen enjoyed a much higher level of education than not only Karl but the average Joe. So I'd presume he did it with a very different intent and motivation than Karl would have. Or, to put it blunt, Stephen did it to be "funny cute," Karl might have been seriously using that word. And that's the beauty of the trio, really.

I'm also laughing my shit off over this clip. I just love these guys too much.
