The Village Idiot that is Karl Pilkington

[WiseGuy5674]

The music sounds like a happy version of the "Deadwood" intro.

[andreasegde]

What a truly funny, brilliant and beautiful video. Great music as well.

BTW, Karl is exactly right about the brain, as it has two sides. Gervais doesn't know this, so he's the stupid one.

[stephenzevon]

the list had the word "valance" on it. amazing choice.

[RyanSensei]

Namely that through thought, emotion and judgement your mind is generally in charge of you, but it is possible through Awareness-training to be in control of your mind, thoughts and emotions without them controlling you.

[RyanSensei]

Karl actually touches upon serious existentialist thought here, and Steve and Ricky just laugh. His questions are very philosophical (and very insightful), and even relate to a lot of Buddhist teaching Awareness, Presence, nonjudgement, nonattachment and not-form.

[LogicalStatements1]

I am mirroring the last comment but Karl really is profound, you have to listen to the things he says a few times and then it's like ,,,,,, oh yeah, i get it.

Genius.

[JohnPurchaseArt]

Karl Pilkington is a Genius, aHead of his time..

[MeAreTrees]

@JohnPurchaseArt

I see what you did there ^^

[qwepoiqpalzm]

[88seanny]

3 people make Karl look smart

[GhostReconGuy]

I'd love a movie based on the life of Karl. It would be the best movie ever.

[TheJDorian]

Music is good, it fits in with Karls childlike view of the world

[Sammicsno]

we are not our brain, we have a brain

[TallAlexFrancis]

I think my brain controls me but my soul is my personality. What makes me different.

[dylanlawless1]

"Brain.... Onion..."

[s0348953]

Isn't Karl just talking about the difference between the brain and the mind?

[JTC545]

Forget Russel Crowe, put in Karl

"A Beautiful Manc"

[cloudillusion]

I love the video and the soundtrack! perfect.

[jbb006]

this backround music sounds like something off a 2 ear old night lamp. Has anyone reached the end without falling asleep ?

[1by1illknockuout]

The dude in the video with the glasses looks like Karl at :38

[MrRoneill]

The dictionary is getting bigger and bigger- no ones keeping an eye on it. Theres too many words! What do they say??? I dunno.

[MrRoneill]

The dictionary is getting bigger and bigger- no ones keeping an eye on it. Theres too many words!

[smellymyfingers]

and the box is his brain.

[chimike19]

There's a childlike brilliance in what Karl says. He truly has a wonderful mind, even if he doesn't articulate his thoughts correctly.

[boroughgal]

Jojuinc - I don't know...! ;o)

[boroughgal]

Jojuinc - I don't know...! ;o)

[Kullg4r]

Anyone else like to watch this while stoned?

[waterdol80]

@Kullg4r god yes!!!!!!!

[88seanny]

@Kullg4r lol bong @ 3.48

[Kullg4r]

@88seanny haha perfect, well spotted

[chuckstar666]

I do understand what Karl is saying, even if he is not saying it in a articulate way. Ricky and Steve just push him, even though iam sure they know what he is talking about, but i suppose thats what makes the podcast funny!

[natnat208]

beautifully done

[PowerfulDragon]

possibly the most thought provoking video i've seen on youtube.

[lysaiker]

what an exceptional man. talk about thinking outside of the box

[cloudillusion]

I think my brain's got a mind of its own! hahaha

[Mariposaminx]

can someone tell me the song that is playing in the soundtrack? please.

[xralukee]

@Mariposaminx Try reading the description.

[LowleyUK]

yes i agree, beautiful video

[lsav10]

This is beautiful.

[catasabau]

the soundtrack is so nice...it makes one fell bad and sad laughing at Karl...great movie except for the title now

[hoboguru]

hes not really that stupid, puts it on

[8tripsaweek]

actually quite beautiful, 5 *

[norge0209]

Ricky shared this on his blog. Well done!

Does the body rule the mind, or does the mind rule the body?

[1337ram]

karl....onion!

[8tripsaweek]

nothing less funny than making up thoughts you've had in order to make yourself seem a bit wacky

[GervMerchPilk]

@8tripsaweek nothing less pathetic than replying to mere comment on a mere Video in patronising tone to make yourself "feel" a bit Witty.

[TheRideArounds]

@8tripsaweek nothing is more anoying then comments that are made from thoughts you've had in order to make yourself seem a bit witty

[TheRideArounds]

@8tripsaweek you are dumber than karl, your comment is dribble

[tonguemaniac33]

head like a fucking orange! :)

karl, one day you will be the king of the world!

[utdfortreble]

i do not quite get what is so funny about karls question at the start. it is a valid question and i don't know the answer, but then i guess i am my brain.

[TheKimdunn]

You're what I'd call a stupid idiot.....as opposed to an intellegent idiot I guess

[TheKimdunn]

Brilliant.S'more please?Ta.

[bscutt25]

Great Video

"Could the world fall?" KP

[botangst]

Mate, this is great stuff. Love the music, it works so well, and would do so on its own (even without Karl's "genius").

[PTL0]

I realised "does the brain control you?" situation he always brings up is just karl trying to understand the difference between conscious thought and subconscious. He's aware of a lot for someone who doesn't have the greatest education. gotta love that head!!! KARL FRIKN RULES THE WORLD!!!

[gpearson77]

If your brain was in your foot, it would take ages to say anything

[Densoid]

Does anyone else agree that the whole clone thing and 'How would I know which one I was?' makes sense

As you wouldn't know if your the original or not :( Maybe ave gt Mad

[eden1701]

@Densoid I completely agree. If you were exactly physically duplicated, and the physicalist theory of mental states is true, then yes, you wouldn't know if you were the original or not because both would have the same brain and same memories.

[thetalkincow]

and Karl Pilkington, fucking mong.

[runedek]

i loved this

[Hermionethehobbit]

How would I know which one I was?

[victoriaplumable]

Karl is, in his own lovely way, explaining Jung's theory of the conscious/unconscious mind. "onion"

[mansonemu]

Soon as I woke up, I looked at Suzanne and she looked at me. I said, "Did I tell you about the immune system?

You are wrong Gervais, the brain is a focusing tool for the spirit

[blessudblidan]

@curbtherooks good point ,thoughts do not necessarily originate in the brain

[curbtherooks]

You are wrong Gervais, the brain is a focusing device utilised by spirit

[headlikeanorange]

Loved the video clips!

Also, this has been Gervais'd, congrats!

[rassilonstributer]

I've actually started saying "an' that." Karl Pilkington has a major effect on my life. That is extremely worrying.

[danutcase66]

@rassilonstributer

I know - same. I find myself saying 'knockin about', 'potter' and 'an that' too. Karl Pilkington has a head like a fucking orange. Ricky, get him on the Golden Globes with you...or...get Larry David and Karl in a room to talk and film it. Go on Rick. You know it's right.

[hampusheh]

I don't think you could say that Karl is intelligent, because I'm not sure what that means. But he has something far more important, which is a creative, amazing mind. I love the video tough, favorited...

[FanOfPopCulture]

I know what Karl is talking about.

[reviBeans]

i love this video, and the music

and karl ofcourse
