China Best Bits: Karl Pilkington An Idiot Abroad

[aca1095]

karl should've been wheatley

[Uyangauya]

HAHAHAHA

[cheltenham22]

Carl, what can I say, he is a comedy genius without equal, the real genius is that he doesn't even know he's funny

[stilicho2]

Open, extroverted, enthusiastic people often get excited and judge emotionally; they lose objectivity. Pilkington is introverted and anhedonic enough to remain in touch with the objective banality of reality.

[krownedskate]

Karuhhhlll

[neoman121]

Here is a link where you can watch full episodes! It works perfectly for me, I hope it works for you to, it's sad that youtube doesn't have any full episodes.

[twopeaspodcast]

I don't like jellyfish, they’re not a fish, they're just a blob. They don’t have eyes, fins or scales like a cod. They float about blind, stinging people in the seas, And no one eats jellyfish with chips and mushy peas.

[LeonEyedass]

Karl is the funniest man alive.

[kavana85]

I don't think it's all that funny, it's just some simpleton traveling the world moaning about everything, oh wait is that supposed to be the funny part of it :\

[cawthy07]

@kavana85 i didnt used to think it was all that funny to be honest but i got the second series dvd for christmas and i love it now

[NaziZombieLover1]

My favourite show ever!!! is brilliant... " enjoy it mate!"

[swindonaggroboy]

"theyre hard to read."

[GShilobod]

WTF? Just read the many comments and I don't understand why people can't just see this for what it's worth??? It's just good plain humor! Cultures all over the world make fun of one another, all in good jest. Why do people have to bring in politics, politcal correctness and even racism??? I don't get it. For those that do, take the sticks out of your asses and learn to have a good laugh! Geez! Relax people! If you don't like it, then don't watch it!

[Meteoroidz]

40 Dislikes Cant Say Karl

[opmike343]

Head like a fuckin' orange...

[SkinoReturns]

Its not Kaal, its Caaarrl!

[diulamabubu]

@satanidomini what this show is displaying is a contempt for other cultures. are you trying to defend that?

[ColostomyCake]

@diulamabubu Even if it was displaying a contempt for other cultures (which it blatently isnt) it is called "an IDIOT abroad" .. everything said is coming from an "idiot," hense any negative opinions stated about other cultures are to be considered idiotic..

If anything it's an ironic defence against contemptuous opinions of other cultures.

So stop being such a reactionary fuckpig and get a fucking sense of humour.

[pronails22]

is this show on any channel in the US? this is too funny

[Svenavich]

lol

[BitchingDJD]

's not kaa.

[cmt4eva]

'What was that bleeping sound? The fire alarm'

xD

[TheAnonyy]

This only on sky? This Karl is annoying about the fire massage why doesn't he just tell her to stop, IDIOT

[ThisIsMrNeil]

Ricky and Steve come across as smug, superior Guardian readers. The whole premise of this show, amusing as it is, is actually quite insulting, both to Karl and in general.

[haristeas22]

I hope this show will keep going on cause it s really funny and it s hard for me to find smth funny on TV

[aphordonte]

My God He's mean

[05blackpoolfc]

'are you avin' a laugh? is he avin' a laugh?' - EXTRAS!!!!!!

[6NoHope9]

@05blackpoolfc

karl said that a few times in the radio show and podcasts before extra's was made, so it's possible that actually ricky got that phrase from karl.

[6NoHope9]

@6NoHope9

extras *

[calum769]

Wow... What a long running youtube argument, just read it all lol! Think neither won, stalemate :P

[4ndymcg]

he really is a proper retard but its bloody hilarious

[eagles980]

He really does have a head like a fucking orange.

[BOABRAB666]

they should change the name to the worlds biggest fucking retard cunt bores u to death and karl close ur mouth u mug theres a bus coming

[tdecarne]

He's like an innocent child discovering the world. HAHAHAHA

[5iveotoh]

2:33 lmfao "he just went *donk* ow!" ><, pahahahaha!

[rickyricky1231]

@mikeosothoughtful nice use of google translate mate.

[rickyricky1231]

@mikeosothoughtful i was being polite, but since you want to be racist again, i guess i should call you by your real title: "scum".

[rickyricky1231]

@mikeosothoughtful im glad you agree with me. you ARE a dumbass. but i only make smart freidns you see, so im always talking to smart people. its nice to talk to a dumbass once in a while.

[rickyricky1231]

@mikeosothoughtful then you shoudlnt have replied to my first comment. hypocrite. well, since u define our conversation as a "troll:, then i guess i should be going? if u want you can go on my channel!! YAY!! i love drama!! i coul recommmend one with english subs(way better than this show). ull like it ;P

[rickyricky1231]

@mikeosothoughtful u sir are an idiot. if you dont want to have a normal conversation, then u have no life. theres no such thing as trolling, only people whi try to hide their stupidity end things by saying this. and guess what, having this conversation with you has greatly increased my self esteem. thank you, idiot.

[rickyricky1231]

@mikeosothoughtful intellectually impaired. if ur not gonna be normal then i shall cease hving a conversation with you. what an ironic youtube name anyway.

[rickyricky1231]

@mikeosothoughtful no i didnt. u just admitted defeat, as you can no longer argue with me. the only thing you can do is to make urself seem lie youre doing something funny, but indeed youre an idiot. remember, no one likes dumbasses.

[rickyricky1231]

@mikeosothoughtful this perfectly shows your vocabulary range. dumb. i can speak chinese, japanese, french and english. im smarter than you. FACE IT. u can only speak one word

[rickyricky1231]

@mikeosothoughtful wtf ur intellectually impaired. pls dont bring about randomness. doing so will only be admmitting your loss, and admitting the might of China and the idiocity of this video.

[rickyricky1231]

@mikeosothoughtful and a person who sits on a mountain wont allow others to climb up. and anyways, ur implying that China is already at the top of things. it isnt, so it will keep climmbing up, and at a faster rate. see how easily i disproved your stupid idiom?

[rickyricky1231]

@mikeosothoughtful idioms dont mean a thing to me, they are merely statements made by a person. only the current facts are valid in an argument. many idioms actually contradict each other, ur simply picking the ones that suit your needs. not valid. btw a cow produces milk, bees produce honey. *sigh* im speechless. arguing with a dumbass makes me feel smart. (not that im not already smart)

[rickyricky1231]

@mikeosothoughtful no not facts, merely an uneducated guess by someone who obviously knows nothing about what hes arguing. dont waste our resources please, and dont reproduce. youll only populate the world with another dumb child.

[rickyricky1231]

@mikeosothoughtful do you read the news? the 1 child policy has been loosened many yrs ago, so China has a stable birth/death rate. also, not all countries have an average of 2 children per couple. if youve read the news, italy has 0.9 working people supporting one nonworking citisen, including persions fees and so on. and guess what, many universally approved analysisses say that China's economy and quality of life is increasing steadily, and will overtake America inthefuture. u doliveunderrock

[rickyricky1231]

@mikeosothoughtful you mean a chinese person significantly smarter than you? gosh im sick of dumb people they make the world such a worse place, and they waste air and resources. oh but dont worry, you can be smart in your own world; your dreams.

[rickyricky1231]

@mikeosothoughtful ur wrong. western countries are the ones that are ageing, with less people having children and many have less=less young people to suppot older population=well, bad. with china, a large old popluation will still have a young population that is born, and will support them. you think no young people will be born in 20 yrs time? THINK. gosh, what did i tell you? and the 1 child policy has improved the standards of living for nearly all chinese ppl. LEARN YOUR FACTS BUDDY!

[rickyricky1231]

@mikeosothoughtful best comeback you can make? next time dont argue with someone intellectually smarter than you, who knows more facts about the world. think before you speak my friend, as it can lead you to so many troubles and makes u seem like an idiot.

[rickyricky1231]

@mikeosothoughtful oh, and you know, Europe has caused both WOrld Wars leading to millions of deaths. Oh and you know, Europe produced a man called Hitler who killed millions of his own kind who only believed in a different religion. chep products=more people willing to trade=big economy=2ndbiggest economy right now. ur not a fortuneteller, u dont know the future, whereas the truth of the present stands before us. what u say r not facts, merely your scrummy predictions to try and offend me. ;P

[rickyricky1231]

@mikeosothoughtful wowowow. you cant say anything now other than be racist. its isnt "shit" thanks very much. you can say u dont like it, or u dont appreciate it but u cant define it as "Shit". OH i thought this show was meant to be "humour". oh im sorry, this show is racist now is it? well racist hypocrite i have one thing for you: we have a more ancient culture, a better economy nowadays, and more people in the world. by insulting this country you have put yourself in grave danger. just saying

[rickyricky1231]

@mikeosothoughtful why would China WANT to go to war? wow just wow. we're in a peaceful era and here you are talking about a global war. do you live under a rock? its all about economy now, and im afraid to say that China is one of the two superpowers with the second largest economy in the world, yet retaining all of its ancient culture and practices. its one of the largest ancient civilisations and is the strongest surviving ancient civilisation. we dont want or need war, you violent child.

[rickyricky1231]

@mikeosothoughtful TIbet is part of China dumbass. theyre part of the large group of ethnicities within China, as China is diverse with a large variey of ethinicities and cultures. but all is defines as China. and anyways u dont have your facts right anyways, u and your Western perspective of things will never understand the true struggles within China, so i think you can shut up. no offense, but i dont even think i will watch this programme any further, as its run by anidiotwithidiotsuppoters

[rickyricky1231]

@mikeosothoughtful dont find insulting a country's culture very funny.

[rickyricky1231]

@mikeosothoughtful what are you implying? jus cos im not in china doesnt mean i cant defend it. ur pretty dumb too.

[djparnate]

shaksper xD

[rickyricky1231]

you sir are one ignorant idiot. if you cant accept what chinese people do, then go away.

[y0ng833]

how did he meet susan?

[MrWhipification]

@y0ng833 just down a pub ....

[natman1555]

I'm Carl. Chinise man: CAR.

[MultiTilburg013]

Karl pikington is not stupid. hes just honest and says what he thinks. thats funny

[JeSsWoNn]

this is so freaking hilarious. saw it on tv the other day. haha can't wait to watch the others :)

[NEBUKEDNEZZA]

2:45

yes/no do/don't try this at home!

[mp3talon]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOL

[quixyathug]

funniest thing on TV .. fact !! rickie gervais always has a way of reinventing comedy he a comic genius.. i wonder if karl is real or just another RJ character though.

[SonderZ]

lol 3:29



[BigBrueser]

I got my friends addicted to this show just from this episode hahaha

[davidmotokros]

AN IDIOT ABROAD IS MY FAVOURITE SHOW ON DISCOVERY, ITS A LOT OF FUN

AN ITS AWESOME!!!!! LOVE IT!

[BrosoKintobor]

"Are you avvin a laugh? Is 'ee avvin a laugh?!"

You reckon he deliberately did Ray's catchphrase?

[zokipartizan]

HAhaha, this guy is so funny!

[NaturalBornHedonist]

"Is he having a laugh...I cant tell they're hard to read " ...LOL

[imsoillitzsick]

How could you get mad at anything this guy says? and I've watched all the episodes available right now...He never once said anything against americans. I'm from NYC and we're not as sensitive as others around the county but still...this guy makes me happy and cheers me up. If it bothers you then fuck off you "twats"

[sneakitout]

@imsoillitzsick Actually he was annoyed at Americans one time. He was in a restaurant while on holiday there, and left a 30c tip of something because he was about to fly back and it was all the money he had left. The waiter ran after him said "excuse me sir, you can have this back!". Karl said he was ungrateful cos he could have given him nothing

[alicevlogs]

he keeps hitting his head hahah

[Jamiethewookie]

Thick cunt

[HugeK]

I just realised karl said to the kung fu guy "are you having a laff?... is he having a laff?"

[thetrianglewaffle]

the guy's such a legend

[paulwwwynne]

I teach English in Korea - trying to get them them to stop saying 'uh' on the end of things is near impossible! I like you accent-uh! High five-uh! etc...

[oioioioi98h]

he is one of the funniest man alive hahahaha they cudnt of picked a better idiot lmao

[CaptainKubla]

His Baldy Dome, shone so brightly,

Said Keira Knightly, cuffed in Aldi

'Urrrr,' he said. How doth thou knoweth,

The Orange Sphere, that doth gloweth

Look, never said I wuz Shakespeare. Neither did he. For fucks sake.

[roxy420dash]

People dont understand how smart Karl is. Its just the way he comes out with things makes him an idiot :P

He's funny without knowing it!

[MrDeano324]

And why are Americans and such even watching this video. If you dont like what Karl has to say, bugger off to a more "political correct" video and...grow the hell up.

[apollostreetcar]

Why are people taking this so seriously?? It's a comedy you idiots, not a serious travel show. The show wouldn't be funny to watch unless Karl did stupid things, it's part of the joke. God, some people here are so stupid..

[hjupo99]

@apollostreetcar mate u do realise it is real.

[maismaisrox]

Sometimes i laugh so much i cant breathe with this programme!!

[AICALEXAIC]

As much as I do find it funny, it is all set up. Carl is in fact a very clever guy that's plays the role of an idiot very well. I just don't like it when he is rude to foreign people and shows them no respect. That's when the show crosses the line a little and stops being funny

[umaralansari]

@AICALEXAIC Well, it is essentially a Ricky Gervais vehicle, innit; so, another excuse to say out loud what you think about people - except, here, instead of the laughing hyena (Gervais) getting his hands dirty, a slapheaded drone is enlisted to do the dirty work (Gervais preferring cosy LA, making hay lampooning the locals). Although the premise is ostensibly "a fool's adventures", it could also be seen as "a simple Brit is beset by mad foreigners with stupid customs".

[jonsilence]

C'mon Kaz, gizza bit 'a Van Halen's 'Jump'

[taynuiltftw]

I love him so much trololololololol

[TheGenetic1]

where did he hit .

he hit it there didnt he

DUNK

owww . no .

Karl . your a legend !

[CaptianComment]

"Maybe she's just a frustrated magician or something..." HAHA that was one of the few times I've legitimately lol'd on YouTube. Bless your heart, Karl.

[143christar]

karl merely shows the reality! =D

[vovadrama]

Karl is my role model.

[xAstronomy]

It is just for show, he is probably having the time of his life offcamera, and oncamera i can do what he does..

[TheLordisidore]

Karl Pilkington is my hero! He says it like it is.

[ParisHiltonChannel]

taking the piss out of other cultures like this is cheap easy and boring.Gervais would say " why don't you do it if it's so easy ? " . Because its shit TV Ricky, shit TV.

[kietasss]

@ParisHiltonChannel

Its not shit

[TheRationalRant]

@ParisHiltonChannel You clearly don't understand. It not a piss take of other cultures, it's a piss take of Karl's perception of other cultures.

[LoveMeSomeSarcasm]

@ParisHiltonChannel This coming from someone who named their channel "ParisHiltonChannel" O_o
