Karl Pilkington - Satisfied Fool (Part 1 of 3)

Karl Pilkington is best known for the world-record-breaking podcasts that he does with friends Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant - where he is frequently told that he is an idiot.

Karl left school 19 years ago with only one GCSE - an E in history - an exam that he doesn't remember taking. After years of ridicule, he has decided to find out just how intelligent he is and if having more knowledge would make him any happier.

'Me mates keep telling me that I should be more intelligent and that I should know more, but... I say, if I did know more, would it make me any happier?'

Karl gets advice from known intellectuals, including Germaine Greer, Will Self and even David Icke, while explaining his concerns on gaining more knowledge.

Karl Pilkington: The Most Interesting Man In The World

With all the fussing that Karl does, wouldn't 'Dissatisfied Fool' have been a more appropriate title?

Karl might be ignorant, but he's wise and insightful, more than Gervais in fact.

@Bojangles521 Well done for your petty 'reverse' snobbery and also for not even understanding the way a show like this is edited. Always fascinating when people judge celebrated scholars and social critics, not by their work, but the fact that they didn't smile so much on a tongue-in-cheek TV show. It says much more about how intellectually inferior you see yourself. We should celebrate brilliant people, not reflexively shit on them to make our pathetic selves feel better.

Germaine Greer, what a miserable, self-important tosser. She needs to take that stick from up her arse.
