Karl Pilkington on noises

This is one of my favourite clips from The Ricky Gervais Show. I still don't know what Karl meant.

there are only a limited amount of sounds, as there are a limited amount of colours. I think thats what hes on about. 

[Draxzar]

The thing is, I complete understand most of what Karl says. His logic is superb but still nothing he says makes sense. It's so strange.

I love at 2:23 they use the animal that he created; the head of an owl, armadillo body, movement of a slug and peacock feathers. These cartoon versions are great, they really add something special to it all.

Oh for fffuuuu

[IdontneedanIpod]

He means that there are less noises than things to make noise.

when a new frog comes out :')

@MrSiiKez That's what I meant. I know it has to have heard the sound before it can imitate it. But suppose a Ford Escort came by (I know it's a bit far out), in theory it could imitate that sound. ^_^

@Gasoline85 The bird Karl is getting confused with is the Lyrebird of Australia. And it's not sounding like a Ford Escort lol, they mimic the sound of bulldozers that destroy the forests around them. They can mimic almost any sound. But that sound has to be present. Anyway, feel free to search youtube for Lyrebird videos.

I saw a program not that long ago about a bird that could imitate noises it had heard, almost perfectly. So in a sense, the bird that sounds like a Ford Escort is real!!

@x420Raptor1 he is a genius... only that he says brilliant shit in dumb way, thats all.

[528491Inception]

your ripping of the chicken you cunt xD

[x420Raptor1]

@alexab4 No hes not.... He has no knowledge, he reads headlines of stories and makes up the rest as he suits, Even if he did have knowledge, he has no application to that knowledge. He undoubtedly has the IQ of a moron, He has childs logic, and people who seem to think hes a genius in disguise are just kidding themselves.
