What do you think of 'An Idiot Abroad'?
>>
True Kino
>>
Karl is fucking brilliant. Brilliant!
>>
>It's a Karl compares swimming with sharks to driving with a bee in the car episode.
>>
I do not enjoy non-self aware self-deprecating humour.
>>
innit?
>>
pure genius
>>
>It's a Ricky Gervais capitalizing on people with actual talent series
>>
I thought it was pretty good until they brought in the fucking midget. Dropped it after the first episode with that shit. Nearly dropped it before when the midget was bitching about the midget city. Fucking midget.
>>
>>72089961
>It's a Ricky laughs so hard he has to grab on to something episode
>>
>>72089825
It was never shown outside the UK
>>
>>72089940
>non-self aware
>implying
>>
>>72089989
It aired on Science Channel.
>>
>>72089825
perfectly represents how retarded amerifats are
>>
>It's a Karl accidentally says something genuinely profound episode
>>
>>72089940
>>72089992
So, is he acting or not?
>>
>>72090036
>It's like, Jews right? Why do they exist?
>>
>>72089825

>Ricky tries to expose Karl'slack of worldliness
>Karl goes on a meaningful and enlightened journey
>Ricky still bitter and in the closet
>>
>>72090039
I don't believe Karl is an actor playing a character, but I do think as Karl gained more popularity he was told to play up to his reputation as a lovable idiot more, which is why S3 of an Idiot Abroad was so shit.

Karl can't have been an actor because he's been with Ricky and Steve from the beginning, and was merely their radio producer until they decided to have him on the show more.
>>
Who'd win in a fight out of Ricky, Steve and Karl?
>>
>>72090206
retard strength > others
>>
Idiot Abroad 1 > Moaning Of Life 2 > Idiot Abroad 2 > Moaning Of Life 1 > Idiot Abroad 3 > most other television
>>
>>72090206
What about Steve's undiagnosed Autism?
>>
It was originally a book. I can't imagine anyone with the wherewithal to do that being an idiot.
>>
Anything with Ricky, Steve and Karl is kino.
>>
>>72089825
It's brilliant, but I do find his close mindedness irritating sometimes, like when he bailed on the zero-g flight
>>
Bought the entire series on blu ray, fucking love it. S3 isn't as good, but the first two were amazing.
>>
>>72089989
not true btw, saw it in Poland on discovery channel
>>
>>72089989
Then why have I seen it in the U.S.A?
>>
>>72090635

>>
>>72090679
Nope, saw it on TV
>>
>>72089989

>>
>>72089825

I saw both seasons on Science Channel.
Was quite entertaining.
>>
>>72089961
>It's a Ricky laughs at Karl when Karl is actually right episode
>>
>>72091622
A lot of the time he laughs just because of the way Karl says it, not because he's necessarily wrong.
>>
>New Star wars film came out, right?
>Yeah?
>Yeah, good innit? Space man takes his 'elmet off an that. guess what? Little Monkey fella.
