![[REACTION] EMPTY BOTTLES - *JUNIOR H*](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/7MxYAf_9xn0/mqdefault.jpg)
Ricky Gervais' hosting the Golden Globes and destroying everyone in attendance is one of the greatest things I've ever seen in the world of comedy.
the funniest part is he was invited back
@justwatching111111 Multiple times.
And his battle over the fact he was tge original creator amd writer of The Office. 🤣
After the flood the lion came of the ark and said "It was a rather shitty cruise to be honest, it rained a lot. But the buffet was great! I had two of everything!" :P
Might as well really, since virtually all plants would've died in the seawater, that also salted the earth mightily. Which would leave all herbivores unsustainable for years, and thus the predators too.
@Zoroff74 you would think so, but as the Indonesian tsunami has taught us, salt, resistant grasses, came back fairly quickly, and most vegetation returned within one to two years of time. There was certainly die back, but if you’re really going with the hypothetical that you only have two animals and their descendants after two years, the amount of vegetation you’re gonna need is pretty small. But please we all can recognize there’s a bit of story tell in here.
@PurpleKiv - There's a difference though, in a tsunami flooding that just passes over, and a kilometers deep flooding that stays for months, with the pressure and lack of light on top of general drenching.
You are right in the biblical stories being nothing to take scientifically seriously, but in this context it's interesting to think through the possibilities.
@PurpleKivit is story telling. It was not intended to be taken literally.
@Swarmhammer1968yet so many do. For me playing with the possible science behind the story is playtime.
"It is easier to fool someone than to convince them they've been fooled." -- Mark Twain
Exactly.
Mark Twain was biased in saying that because he was surrounded by Americans at that time, and he probably thought that the rest of the world's populations would be just as gullible and stupid as Americans were.
MAGA need I say more
@SuperSetsquare yes :P
Bullseye 🎯
Imagine being on the boat, surviving the flood and then realising you are the sacrifice.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
no the sacrifice was al the ungodly been drowned to death that's the hilarious bit they were warned and didn't see what was coming till it was too late they thought they where clever making fun of Noah and his family , when the door of the ark closed they all shit themselves knowing they where going to be drown DEAD rats can you imagen noah and his family looking down at them laughing there bellys of at the wicked finally getting there own sarcastic humour thrown back in their faces and got what they deserve .
@steve4073so Noah was filled with the godly trait of compassion?
@andrewgarner2224 no he just believes the wicked should be delt with and judged as they judged
The Reign of the Lord's Anointed
Psa 2:1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
Psa 2:2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
Psa 2:3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
Psa 2:4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
Psa 2:5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
Psa 2:6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
Psa 2:7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
Psa 2:8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
Psa 2:9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
Psa 2:10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
Psa 2:11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
Psa 2:12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
I am his son same as all the sons of God and here it tells you not to PISS US OFF.
lets here it from Jesus shall we ?
Mat_10:42 And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.
Mat_18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
Mat_18:10 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.
Mar_9:42 And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
Luk_17:2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.
Mat_26:24 The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.
Mar_14:21 The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born.
@steve4073But wait, it wasn't just the "ungodly" that were drowned to death ... aside from all the plants and insects and the other animals, I'm sure there were many "godly" people around the world that were drowned to death as well!
The funny parts to me about the story of Noah's flood is the fact that god got angry at how people behaved in the first place (even though he made them that way, knowing ahead of time what they would do), the fact that he chose to wipe them out with a flood instead of just... speaking them out of existence? And also the fact that it's treated as a great story about god's forgiveness and it's supposed to fill you with a happy feeling instead of... you know... the idea that god is apparently a lunatic with bipolar disorder.
@genostellar keep in mind that this took place about 1000 years before the 10 Commandments . How did they even know what a sin was ? I think he screwed up and should have had the 10 Commandments prior to the punishment .
@not-now-i4u Yes, but remember, one of those commandments was Not to Kill. Then god orders Moses to go out and exterminate 9 other civilizations and all their horses as well. Apparently it was Thous Shalt not kill JEWS but everyone else is fair game.. But what did the horses do that god wanted them exterminated as well?
@genostellar Perhaps we just forget that this is a charming creation myth and that the story of Noah's ark is part of every kid's childhood, and it does reflect what most people in the western world believed until Darwin came along with a better explanation.
@jonathanmonck-mason6715 The curious thing is that most culture have a Flood story is their cosmogony. And then, there's those who believe this story but deny the dangers of climate alterations...
@jonathanmonck-mason6715 clearly not charming nor a creation myth since it's a basic recreation following on genocide.
The fact that there are two male lions walking onto the ark is a giant missed opportunity.
LOL! Gay Lions!
And two male ostrich as well. 🏳🌈
I think there is a video of a show where he mentiones that fact.
@TheArseen There is ...
It's not just the lions. There are also two male ostriches. Female ostriches have distinctively more drab colored plumage and skin
The guy he mentioned was Karl Pilkington and he is one of the funniest men alive without trying, he did a radio show with Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant in the early 2000's then they made a show called An Idiot Abroad where Karl travels round the world, it's one of the best comedy shows ever made
Oh what a rabbithole to go into! 😂
Definitely recommend this for reacting to, "An Idiot Abroad", starts with S1E1 where he goes to China, and see if you like it.
@PotsdamSenior Yes, but I hope she does... fingers crossed.
She will literally amass a cult following starting the Karl pilkington rabbithole
To start with Karl Pilkington.. start with either “Learn English with Ricky Gervais “ or “Meet Karl Pilkington”
Do it.. you won’t regret it
Often have I wondered what the two ant eaters made of having just the two ants. "One for you... One for me... One for.... oh shi...
Well, there are at least 12,000 species of ant, so that's 24,000 ants minimum. Or perhaps there were originally 100,000 species of ant, and the anteaters got 88,000 ants each.
Except that there are four species of anteater...
I mean, we all agreed to ignore reality while listening to this story, as soon as someone brings it up the magic is lost. Not many mention the part where Noah, his wife, their 3 sons, and the wives of those 3 sons, all had to get down and dirty with each other for as long as those women could give birth to start us back on the trail towards 7 billion inbred people. Kissing wasn't the only thing those cousins were doing back then!
@lomax343 Don't confuse me with facts! 🙂
@johntrice2790 Why not? Are you a Republican, or something?
The two termites were in Heaven !!!
Heidi needs to go down the Karl Pilkington rabbit hole.
totally agree lol
Heidi is According to intro severely disabled. As a merican, former cult person hope she puts all into becoming street smart.
The whole "Ricky Gervais show" animated cartoon thingie was hilarious.
...and while we're at it, Philomena Cunk too.
Fish would've been fucked, too. That much water would ruin both fresh and sea water for all the creatures.
No, no. Don't come waltzing in here, confusing us with facts, bro.
I was just about to comment about the water
What about brackish water fish
Exactly, how the heck is a freshwater fish going to live in salt water???
Bull sharks, salmon, salt crocodiles.
Pay money to see Ricky Gervais. End up listening to him narrate Two birds having a stroll for ten minutes.Totally Worth it!
The 2 birds is a long setup for the joke. Elephants can’t forget.
Puke
One of the best tales from the ark is the two kangaroos who left the ark on mount Ararat and traveled all the way to Australia, presumably across now submerged land bridges, carrying their dead with them to leave no trace of their passing at any point of their epic journey…
Never underestimate the kangaroo. Never mess with one either.
Yes one would think your WTF button would be triggered if ya saw that hopping on the ark.
You'd write that down.
Carrying their dead? They were TWO of them! 😂 (allegedly)
@johns70
You think they could make that journey in one generation?
Hmmm.. could it be that the people writing that story 2000 yeas ago didn’t know that Australia exists..
Naaaaaah, can’t be that..
The story did happen and god is all knowing , right?😂
Btw. one thing even "Rikki" didn't notice: both lions are male. :-)
yep.
but don't forget ...
God is not gay
Yes, but even with the rest... how did they repopulate? Was it just lots and lots of incestuous reproduction? And Noah's family as well... within a generation they'd all be forced into some awkward relations. I mean, same goes for Adam and Eve... what did their kids do in order to populate the earth?
@SolaufeinG No, he isn’t. Those lions, tho’…….🤔🤔🤔😳😬
If god's not gat then why did he create Adam first
GOOD CATCH!
It's 100% funnier because he's deconstructing his own Sunday school book! That's what tickles me the most! Ricky is a legend!
'Are you guys enjoying this?' It's Ricky Gervais!!!😂😂😂😂 I love this guy!
I don’t know how much it cost to see Ricky Gervais, but absolutely worth every single penny.
years ago, it was about 25 pounds ($40 USD).
I wouldn’t go over the road to see him 👎
@MuzzaDempy but watch and comment on a video about him. Melt!
The thing that made me laugh that Ricky never pointed out -the picture of the line of animals waiting to go on the ark both lions were male, no lioness lol
The lions were gay. Not like God 😉🤣🤣🤣
two unicorns met inside the Ark... Unicorn 1 : "Hey, Jimmy, you're here!" ... Unicorn 2 : "Hey, Robert, you're here, too!"
and that's the story why there are no unicorns today
Nature don't lie.
No Unicorns? Maybe they were the sacrifice.
There are dozens of species that we today are unable to identify their sex without performing surgery on them.
That’s hilarious 😂!
I figured it out when I was 10. I remember sitting in Catholic church, as we did every Sunday, and listening to the priest read the bible about the ascension. I looked at my parents, then around the other adults, thinking, "They actually believe this stuff?"
Same here
Never mentions Dinosaurs in the Bible and they did actually exist
@davidbellamy1403 It took me until high school, but then I was a Baptist.
@davidbellamy1403 The same with me, only we were Pentecostal from Texas. I would question everything after Sunday school. My Dad would get so mad at me. Needless to say...I'm not religious.
Have you heard about symbolism? Metaphors? Allegories? That's how the first Christians read, interpreted and understood the Bible. Not literal. The Bible is a work of art, it's not a scientific paper. It deals with the spiritual (or if you prefer: psychological) world - not the physical world. Maybe your 10-year-old self couldn't grasp this, but surely you can today!?
I heard a comic say what did the animals eat on the ark.? The bodies of sinners lol
Love the fact that you have adopted the word ‘Bonkers’.😂😂😂
The entire toucan bit is brilliant because it’s really just a long set up for the elephants can’t forget punchline.
I did love the elephant I can't forget punchline.
1:14 Now I want a pet mongoose named “Rikki Jer-Vase”.
Karl getting a standing ovation just from his name drop 😂😂😂
I’ve asked religious people to explain where all the water went, if the entire earth is flooded then where would the water drain too, lol, the stunned expression is always worth it
thats what I was thinking too, it makes no sense
'it floated away' - karl pilkington.
@randylahey7343 Or where they got all the wood from? I mean, Noah was from an area not exactly covered with forests.
Also, the University of Leicester a few years ago crunched the numbers on building an Ark.
From their calculations an ark large enough to hold all of the land animals would have to be about 500 feet longer than any ship humanity has ever built before.
Doing it today would be a massive engineering achievement; doing it a few thousand years ago would have been a miracle.
It's estimated that it would take two and a half times the total Earth's water volume to flood the Earth and the highest mountains. Not a single extra drop of water has been manufactured on the Earth since the beginning of the Earth.
@davidanderson1639 Well, there's your answer. You can do anything with a miracle. lol
I liked the Monty Python "Who are you calling big nose" nod.
Caught that, too!
yes, none of the reactors pick that up
Better listen up, might be a bit about Blessed are the Big Noses😅
Well he has got a big nose.
Right, that does it!
"Ostriches are bitches" -Heidi 🤣😂
But yeah, reminds me of Geese, Swans, Kassowaries...some birds have not forgotten they used to be dinosaurs.
Yes! I think that is the thing with ostriches and a couple of similar species. They remain so similar to some dinosaur species, they think they still ARE dinosaurs. And who are you to fuck with a dinosaur... BACK OFF!
Emus are comparatively mild, but cassowaries make ostriches look like cissies.
I have 2 ostrich burgers in my fridge right now.
#justsayin #eatlesscows 😅
but ostrich is very tasty, and they deserve to be eaten lol
@AanotherAardvark a person of culture and taste, I see!
The dove brought back a green olive branch, which either meant that the olive tree was holding it's breath, or grew in one day!
"Show some anger management" !
The best comedians never beat around the burning bush.
Heidi MUST meet Karl, in "Learn English With Ricky Gervais"
Yes
But the other carl is from Llamas with Hats. xD
Ricky has made many videos with Karl Pilkington and probably the most well known is following on Ricky's RUclips channel:
Pilot | Learn English with Ricky Gervais
ruclips.net/video/Xw2bTpyHGCE/video.htmlsi=qGpIPsvPm_oAdg1l
Karl pilkington might be my favorite person...ever. I can't look at him and not smile/laugh😅😅😅
100% this for the introduction to Karl. It would be like diving in at the deep end of the pool before you can swim. Drowning in their crazy dynamic.
I adore him! He's not afraid to say what he thinks and doesn't give a shit about the ubiquitous American censorship and moralising.
One of the funniest things about Ricky, in my head, is how he is always amused by himself.. He is always laughing at his own comment, jokes etc.. Love it. F the ostriches, but he also saved the lamas so good for you.... Funny reaction vid as usual when comedy is involved... dont worry you get most of it.... cheers from Spain
When he sent Carl Pilkinton to the seven wonders of the world, it was incredible! I loved that series! "An Idiot Abroad".
The Rikki Tikki Tavi joke always gets me cause it was my favorite kids book😂😂😂
I first saw this when it was released. It feels like a lifetime ago now. I am glad it resonated so strongly that all these years later it still remains and reaches out to people.
That’s funny….3.06. “I never put two and two together!” 😂 You did a Noah’s ark joke without realising!😂
I can't help feeling sorry for the Kangaroos that had to swim from Australia to get on the boat...
In a 6000 years old earth it was still pangea lol
@Swarmhammer1968 well hop 30,000 miles then . Lucky they made it in time . Lucky they didn't get there to be told , sorry we're full
And the sloths had to get there from South America
@georgesimon1760 They're slow swimmer too.
@georgesimon1760i heard reports from Asia that the sloths just went past there . They are still on there way 3000 years later 🤣 maybe they'll get on the next ark
Carl is his friend and he done a show with him.
"Chaise longue" literally translates to "long chair", it's French.
He didn't say "chaise lounge", he said "chaise longue". It literally means "long chair". That's the french expression for that kind of chairs. The expression is widely used in Europe, even outside of France.
= sofa?
@cestmirberka6994 No, not a sofa. The best description I can make is to picture a sofa with only one arm and without back.
The fact that Noah found land and the first thing he did was sacrifice a Goat because F that species in particular is absolutely hilarious
Well no. It's commonly supposed that Noah took two of every species. This isn't true (I mean, it's obviously not true, but even in the bible it's not true).
"Of every clean beast thou shall take by SEVENS, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female." Genesis VII 2.
It's not clear whether "sevens" means seven male and seven female, or seven in total; but either way it's more than two.
This is just as well because when we get to Gen VIII 20 we find "And Noah builded an altar unto the Lord and took of EVERY clean beast and of EVERY clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar."
It seems a bit mean to coop up animals for 150 days (Gen VIII 3 - though this might not include the 40 days of rain, so maybe 190 days total) only to kill some of the immediately, but there you go.
That would be the end for goats, being as there was only two of em on the boat
@lomax343making seven plural means 14 probably
@Swarmhammer1968 Yes.Probably.
You know, if I were a deity, the language in my books would be very precise.
Karl is a legend, the way he sees life is so unique and hilarious.
You really should react to the first episode of An Idiot Abroad, i guarantee you'll love it and react to every episode.
18:21 in compartments.... for 150 days without food?
Surprised Ricky missed the opportunity to make a joke about the two male lions.. 🤣
Try Dave Allen. He has a few good takes on religion and he does it without insulting anyone.
Down the Karl Pilkington rabbit hole you go 😂. "Ex Mormon reacts to an idiot abroad" incoming 🤣
The Noah's Ark story isn't even JUST a genocide story; it's an OMNICIDE one, since every animal is wiped out except the ones that fit on the magic boat.
There probably wasn't enough room for dinosaurs.
And the irony is he was pissed by his own creation that he made in his image. 😅
Ostriches taste good. Glad he kept them.
The sky was a DLC package.
I'm so jealous at you, HailHeidi, for not yet knowing who Carl Pilkington is! A treasure trove of comedy awaits you!
shouldn't that be: "He doesn't beat around the burning bush". lol.
Burning bush, JFC, use lube....
I was going to say that but you beat me to it...
That started a few millenias later. Paradoxical to talk about burning bushes when there is water everywhere 😅😅😅
@Swarmhammer1968 true 😄
DMT bush..Moses was drugged
karl pilkington is a good friend of ricky who ricky basically torments
@WilliamShedwardian was not is
Carl Pilkington is his buddy. Ricky sends him off to do weird and wonderful stuff, but he doesn't know what's coming.
Emu's are actually meaner than ostriches.
Im so jealous you haven't dove in to the rabbit hole that is Karl Pilkington yet! One of the best discoveries ever. Everything from the old podcasts ( that I'm listening to daily on Spotify) to the tv shows like An Idiot Abroad and The Moaning of Life. Hes had an incredible change of a career. Hes an legit actor nowadays.
Tim Minchen "Thankyou God"
brilliant musically f-as-f lyrically and takes events out of the dark into the light and "or maybe it just...."
She’s done that and quite a lot of Tim’s stuff
Already been done
Karl Pilkington is definitely your next stop. A good place to start is “Learn English with Ricky Gervais and Karl Pilkington” or “Meet Karl Pilkingon” !
I don't think "Learn English . . . " is a good intro. Doesn't it sort of assume knowledge of his character?
@leetaylor13no it doesn’t. I think it’s a perfect way to start. I see many other comments have recommended it as the “perfect introduction” too ❤
"The Ricky Gervais Show" is all you need to know. Karl Pilkington is one of the funniest people to ever walk this planet
I once looked after my neighbours dog for a week. It shit everywhere and ate me out of house and home. Imagine that times 10 million on a small boat? 😂😂
Hi Heidi , the Irish comedian Dave Allen's take on religion is hilarious,worth a look
So sad he didn't point out that the two lions are both males.
Thats a HUGE mistake!
I'd love for you to get to know Karl Pilkington. He's an unpolished gem that deserves to be studied for years.
Karl Pilkington and Philomena Cunk learned how to be so funny by watching the Manchester soap Coronation Street. The comedy characters in it, such as Derek Wilton, Maud Grimes, Reg Holdsworth, Curly Watts, and Blanche Hunt, were as funny as any sitcom characters in any comedy show.
@greengrass811 I'm pretty sure Karl isn't a character though, unless I've been living a lie.
@Onnarashi He has the exact same style as Philomena Cunk. I don't know if are you're from the UK but the Oasis songwriter, Noel Gallagher, has the same style of humour. I can literally see him go into character. His body language, demeanour, and tone of voice change completely. It's a very Manchester thing that is almost unique to Mancs. They have this sort of swagger or self-assurance.
Karl Pilkington is also a very lateral thinker he has a very inquisitive and enquiring mind.He might not have been the best at mathematics or academic studies, but he has a very creative brain. Being a creative person myself, I can notice these nuances in creative people's personalities very quickly.
he`s the best of British
3:09 "I didn't put two and two together..." Dad pun achievement awarded.
You have to look up Dave Allen. He was an extremely intelligent, funny & provocative Irish comedian. ..and atheist. There are hilarious videos online of him discussing Adam & Eve, 1st day as a 4 year-old in Irish Catholic school etc
Now THAT would really knock Heidi for six!
Think I've mentioned him before. His show was even on our german television. A master of his craft! And: him about religion: Heidi will sure have a blast!
@peterdoe2617 His religious jokes are absolutely great. I'm also from germany. The never repeated the episodes in german. Very sad.
Dave Allen is a legend. He and George Carlin.
I saw Dave Allen live, in Melbourne, back in the 80's. I have quite honestly never laughed so hard in my entire life...
Apparently Noah *did* take a few extra animals along to sacrifice. It's nice to know they had continuity checkers when this was written :)
I don't know how Ricky missed opportunity where animals are going onto an ark and there are two male lions. :)
@51mm5 Could be a problem.
Ricky is also a very well educated individual. His knowledge of our planet and the animals that populate it is quite extensive.
Hm - to cut it short: religion has historically been used as a tool of power, often controlled by elites to legitimize authority, maintain social order, and influence populations (including children) who lacked literacy or access to independent knowledge. I thank Mr. Gervais for putting this all together in such a funny, critical and entertaining way.
The fans if this channel always comment the best suggestions 😅 i check them out too, always gold
You would enjoy Tim Minchin’s “Tony the Fish”. Also anything by Dave Allen
Or monologues from a master of the English language - Ronnie Barker. The double entendre in The Two Ronnies would be hard to get on TV nowadays.
14:34 chaise longues- it’s French. It means “long chair”. I’d never heard the “lounge” spelling before. Apparently the wrong version dates back to 1811.
I like your version. Learned it in England in 1981.
Yes, the high pitch is adorable. Check out the letter reading on a tv show.
Ricky G!! Is amazing!! We love that man on the west coast!!
Karl Pilkington is the most unintentional funny person on this planet. Start with his English lesson with Ricky Gervais and then go down the rabbit hole of hundreds of hours of content with him, Ricky and Stephen Merchant.
And how do you know that it is not just a shtick? He wouldn't be the first British guy to spend his public life 'in character'. Check out Stanley Unwin. It is not as if Gervais or Merchant would give the profitable game away!
Ricky Gervais has a show named "an idiot abroad", that features Carl Pilkinton, Pure comedy gold! Recommend it strongly
It's brilliant
Rikki-Tikki-Tavi - a curious and adventurous mongoose in the 1894 short story collection 'The Jungle Book' by Rudyard Kipling
I immediately went ‘Rik Chik Chik’ when he said it🤣
One of my favorite stories.
Don't forget the amazing 70s(?) cartoon adaptation!
@harryhager4128 and my wolf cub name as a Boy Scout lol 🤣 memories
what was the boy named in that story? I forgot. All I remember is him fighting the cobra
@CoyTheobalt .. Mowgli as far as i know.
Love Ricky Gervais...
The word you are looking for is «chaise longue», long chair.
Cmon, a 600 year old man built a 400 foot boat and put 10 million animals on it, what’s hard to believe about that
😂🤣😆 600 year old man 🤣😂😆 Good one :)
Feeding time must of been an experience what's crazier than this actually happening is that some people believe it actually happened
Very similar to the tale of Gligemesh
1500 years before Noah's arc the story of Gligemesh searching for humanity comes across a man called Upnashpishtim who was granted immortally for "building an arc with every animal on it to save man kind because the gods where unhappy with humans for being to noisy "and people still believe it
@randylahey7343 the boat part I think everyone knows there's no such thing as boats 😂
'Chaise longue' is a French term. Ricki pronounces it correctly as most Brits (and French )do. I've heard it pronounced in the same way by Americans too. The 'American' pronunciation is a complete butchering of a word the voice actor clearly had never met before.
Chaise=> chair; longue=> long: 'long chair'
i remember going to buy one at a furniture store bout 20 years ago and the salesman kept calling it a "Chase Lounge" much to the visual annoyance of my then girlfriend, who was quite pedantic concerning pronunciation and grammar (as much as I am, but Ive had a greater patience to conceal my displeasure)
To be fair, what was typed in is "lounge", not "longue". The pronunciation is actually spot on, because of the spelling mistake.
Guys, she doesn't know who Karl Pilikington is. Get on it.
😂
An Idiot Abroad was the funniest show..
I 'm not entirely sure Americans could get on board with Karl. I mean they barely get Ricky in my opinion.
@BlueMeanie-j26 Nah, there are lots of American reaction channels who love Karl.
They never mentioned that most animals eat other animals if there was only two of each.
I'm from Australia but I love so much, watching reactions to British comedy.
Check out an Irish comedian called Dave Allen who was also an atheist although raised catholic.especially his Adam & eve story
He has no filters, and I love him for it...Knowing Rick, he was thinking about this for 5 minuts, and then said: What the hell, why not...
Love your sense of humor and your play lists are awesome! There goes my weekend.
Thank you, Heidi.❤
Karl Pilkington in "an idiot abroad" one of the funniest shows ever .. Karl is hilarious .. couldn't stop laughing at the things Ricky had him doing ..
Ricky Gervais thinks. He has reason and logic. It's unlike most people. I love hearing his rationalism about life. It's hard not to understand what he's saying. He does an amazing job of humorizing it all too. I'm a big fan.
French Canadian here...
Chaise longue is french for long chair... but because Americans couldn't pronounce longue, they said lounge. It's not entirely wrong, but if anything, it should be Lounging Chair. They may think it makes them sound worldly, by trying to say it in French, I suppose. But to francophones, it just sounds silly. 🤷♂
Every country has ways of adapting foreign loan words to their own tongue. There was a British baking show (Great British Bake Off) that had a Mexican-themed episode where everyone pronounced 'jalapeño' with a 'j' and American and Mexican-American Tik-Tokers raked them through the coals for it, even accusing them of racism. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Indeed, we had a TV commercial in which a lady pronounced Jalapeño as jah-law-peno. She didn't f up, it was part of the schtick. 😊
The chaise longue is French and can be translated to long bench! It’s (mostly) an indoor chair in bench size with back- and armrest at only one side so that a person can lie comfortably on it without restraining the legs like a couch would do! The design itself gos way back to ancient times (Egypt, Greek …) but the chaise longue we know today, is originated in France!
it also has a place in Victorian erotica and the band Wet Leg referenced that in a song of the same name, also Edward Gorey in The Curious Sofa.
And on the 39th day Noah had a barbecue. And the unicorn was tasty

The dinosaurs went extinct because Noah didn't bother to build the ark big enough.

@hemmper na, they got am and pm mixed up. Missed the boat....literally

The amount of food that all those animals would need to surive for 40 days is insane.
A Lion can eat up to 25 pounds of meat daily. They would have needed a 2nd Ark to just feed the animals.
Some apologists say all the animals were babies, and went into hibernation for the entire journey.
It rained for 40 days, then another 150 days for the floods to subside.
All the large carnivores had plenty to eat including Noah and his family. and the termites had a boat to eat.
Karl Pilkington is an entire new rabbit hole for you to dive into.
Carl is his sort of ...sidekick
I would love to see a current Mormon watch this😂
