I like the flow of these animations, it seems so crazy how Karl jumps from one thought to the next. Nothing's connected, it seems so random if you turn the audio off (and frankly the audio is that bad I usually do)
Well its obvious to assume that they've heard of online dating/blind data...what I meant was did they use Karls idea about describing ones self. If you listen to the early xfm shows there are so many anecdotes from their lives and from karls life and his anecdotes from the shows that make it to the Office or Extras.
A lot of Karlisms make it into Ricky's standup too (the "stressing out an eskimo" in Fame springs to mind), however thats because it fits in with Ricky's faux-naive/belligerent stage persona. The real magic of Karl is his genuine naivity, i don't think Ricky would expect us not to see that.
A lot of people say Karl is contrived now; he isnt - its just that Ricky and Steve know exactly what buttons to push to get Karl's reactions and fill a podcast.
He was good on the old XFM shows before he became too self-aware. Nowadays when I listen back to them, as well as the podcasts, it's clear to me that it's contrived and he knows exactly what he's saying.
i know exactly what u mean..i just heard season 5 and was so disappointed..karl seems like he is now purposely mis pronucing words, his more arrogant and stubborn in his views..........more than anything he just seems to be trying to be funny, which is the complete opposite of his style.....
I'm listening through the XFM-stuff right now, and I'm refusing to accept this. Allow me and all the other people to be willfully ignorant. I'm an Atheist, so I've got a lot of it go around ^^
I want to believe that Karl Pilkington was 100% convinced that grapefruit juice came from monkeys making juice (Great ape fruit juice).. I want to believe!!!
because people are idiots. they give thumbs up to that just because its positive and thumbs down to peoples opinions that they disagree with even if theyre not being insulting. just be grateful youre capable of established thought

man, i hope they pay you to draw for 'the ricky gervais show' because they basically stole your style of animation and the way it is presented.

Did Gervais and Merchant use Karl's idea(blind dates/online dating)for the Christmas Special of the Office.
jgrew030 3 years ago
uh im sure Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant have heard of Online Dating/Blind Dates..I dont think they need Karl to introduce them to that concept.

if its funny does it really matter, he and ricky and steve are being themselves just with the volume turned up, remember its a radio show.
