Karl Pilkington - That girl was on with the big head. It was like Bo Selecta!

Karl's infamous comment comparing Vicky Lucas (the girl with the big head), the subject of the BBC documentary 'What Are You Staring At?' to something from 'Bo Selecta!' She was considerably offended by this and later criticised Gervais, Merchant and Pilkington in this article for BBC disability magazine 'Ouch':

The fact that she didn't pursue any official complaint shows the she is a bigger person than Karl, certainly....head-wise....

I don't think Ricky and Steve are laughing AT you Victoria. They're far too clever and PC-concious for that (and quite rightly). They're more laughing at Karl because of the fact that he acknowledged your disability and showed some heart but then just went back to insulting you. Ricky was laughing as a reflex action to Karl's hypocrisy, mainly because he's a stupid, bald, Manc twat. Also there's an element of Ricky laughing in a sense of, 'Oh, you can't say that!'

Karl took a bit of heat for what he said here, but the thing is Victoria Wright does look like the Bo Selecta guy.

She's a tough girl, I'm sure she can take it on the chin. Stiff upper lip.

awww get over it, you can't just pick and choose what to be offended over, I don't hear anyone sticking up for fatty waller

Oh how witty you are...

I am huge fan of Gervais and co but some of the comments left by his sycophantic "followers" on here are just beyond the pale...I may laugh for a second at the Bo-Selecta thing but then I feel deeply uneasy about it, especially having read this article on a site called sotcaa(youtube won't post link)

Vicky Lucas deserves more repect than this.

..Karl didn't mean it in a malicious way, its just the way he is..he is genuinely fascinated by odd people.

[kelso120]

[jonnyabbotti]

Political Correctness or not it's funny as hell

[cuntylishus]

Sick or not, this has to be one of the funniest 'Rick laugh' moments ever. Sounds like he fell off the chair again.

[oasis4ever92]
