Fun fact on the Karl animated laughing thing Mandy. The animator had never seen the real Karl Smile let alone laugh, so when it came to this little scene where they had to animate him laughing, he basically just guessed what it would look like.
Ricky and Steve do understand the hole and the ball metaphor. They’re just trying to trip Karl up with ball jokes etc. if u listen to the xfm show they did a while back it’s super funny and u hear the dynamic with Steve and Ricky a lot more
Karl & I share a few things in common. He was born 2 months before me. We were both going to be called Brett, but our parents changed their minds just before we were born. He grew up on a council estate in Manchester, I grew up on a council estate in Birmingham. Karl had a Raleigh grifter and a Z84, as did I. We both tried boxing once, and gave up immediately. We both grew up to become miserable old buggers.
The whole getting into a tank thing though is similar to the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie- "Total Recall", which is based on a short story from the 60s called "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale"
Karl's imagination can be so creative like Ricky is with his jokes but they are completely different from each other their personalities and experiences are so different 😅 but ultimately Ricky loves a good laugh and Karl loves bugs, weirdness and packets of crisps 😅
The podcast version is more detailed on the floatation scenario: - you can go in but never get out - you would not know you got in a tank - it would be the perfect life, simulated but you couldn’t tell the difference - nothing bad would ever happens In the end most people say they wouldn’t go in the tank, because even with bad things in life people want to live something real
What an excellent way to wrap season two up, you've made yourself part of the show Mandy ☺, not a word I normally use but you're awesome and I really needed this and you today, thanks
I love that you'd get into the perfect world floatation device thingy, MAINLY to get an upgraded, perfect streamlined digestive system 😂 better than a bag of chips i suppose i think Karl's whole "problem" idea was so spot on. basically, humans always have to have a "problem" (or a goal, form of a problem) and even if that problem is small, it still feels just as big. a child who wants a blanket is probably just as stressed as an adult who's having a bad day at work, even though the problem itself is much smaller
Just FYI, the video starts with Ricky saying 'Robert Nozick did this thing...' Nozick is a philosopher (mainly of ethics) who is famous for his 'experience machine' thought experiment. It was meant to undermine simple hedonistic ethical theories, on the assumption that most people wouldn't want to enter the machine, which would suggest that truth/reality is a value over and above mere pleasure.
when she says 'you know how cows have four stomachs', it reminded me of karls diary when he wakes up and asks Suzanne 'did I tell you about the immune system'
I absolutely get the idea of not enjoying something at the time. Karl rode a camel through the desert. That would he awful. Uncomfortable, hot, sand everywhere, sand blowing into your face. But it would be an amazing memory to look back on.
Jimmy Saville was a radio DJ and presenter/TV personality from Leeds who was known for his eccentricity, catchphrases and loud outfits. He presented for the BBC for a number of years, two of his most famous being Top of the Pops and Jim'll Fix It. The latter was a show in which little kids would write in with their wishes and Jimmy and the production crew would make their dreams come true. At the end of each episode, the kids would be rewarded with a medal saying "Jim Fixed It For Me". As well as presenting, Saville did a lot of charity work and even volunteered at hospitals such as Stoke Mandeville in Aylesbury. He was later given the keys to Broadmoor, which is a high security mental facility in the UK. He was knighted after former PM Maggie Thatcher requested for him to get one for many years, and after his limelight faded, Saville died in 2011. In the aftermath, several allegations of inappropriate behaviour and misconduct surfaced after many of his victims came forward, basically saying that Saville used his high status to abuse innocent people to do what he wanted while "hiding in plain sight". After this huge scandel shook Britain and the investigation by Operation Yewtree went underway, Saville's headstone was removed and later destroyed.
Haha you've got the bit in your stomach for pudding too 😅 growing up we would eat our tea but maybe not all the vegetables and our excuse was "we are full but we have the pudding part empty".
There are a lot of middle or lower class families than just don't talk to people the same way Ricky or Steve do, they're more into everything going on around them than interaction with open minded people or forward people like Ricky
@Micklemass1000 nothing hateful about it, I come from a family with learning difficulties and autism, aunties uncles granddad's and grandmas all with social issues, I see it everyday
If you listen to the radio show he actually only tried boxing once, he had one training round got hit and never went back. The dancing he claims to have done he decided to go, he turned up at the dance studio, they were closed so he never went again. I think his idea of doing these things most people wouldn't include in their list of things they have done. 🤣
Someone might have pointed this out before but there is a difference in the start of the series 3 introductions, so be sure to watch the intros to in the next episode.
You ought to check out some Charlie Brooker, he's the guy behind Black Mirror and has a dark sense of humour. I quite liked his panel show 'You Have Been Watching'. Bananas have no lungs, they don't pant.
Always annoyed me how they used crisps as Munchies in the animation. If they weren't familiar with them, it should've been clear from Karl talking about them at 22:00; nobody's biting the top off a crisp to see what's inside, not even Karl.
I love how you became an anatomy expert in this one: the pudding section of the stomach, and also backing up Karl's Problem-Hole theory 🤣🤣 P.S. Steve and Ricky arguing about stuff is common on the XFM radio show 😆
Always enjoyed the problem hole/gene/ball concept. Theory is Ricky gets lots of small balls which pass through the problem hole, and it's easier for larger problem balls to pass a result. Karl, meanwhile, has less problems but the problem hole can get stuck with a big ball when they happen, so the smaller problems grow the ball instead of slipping down to the problem gene like normal. All about having some catharsis which lets you get around the big stuff, and for Ricky that's getting annoyed and relaxing again quickly.
So firstly, "I would eat the world" is I think the best quote from you so far 🤣 Secondly, I relate to your attitude about food on a very deep level lol. I agree that there is ALWAYS room for dessert. If I'm out to eat with people and I hear someone say "Oh I don't think I've got room for dessert", I have to say... I lose a little respect for them lol. Also in regards to your neighbour... there's an older guy at my gym who is exactly like that! He'll come over to me and start speaking, and it's as if he'd started that conversation with someone else 30 minutes ago, and they walked off, and he's come over to me to finish it 🤣 And I always feel bad for him because I get the impression he doesn't speak to many people outside of the gym, so I always feel obligated to try and have the conversation with him but seriously... sometimes I have no idea what he's talking about.
The problem hole/gene/ball: it was pretty clear what he was saying. It’s basically the same as Maslow’s pyramid of needs. When you lack something, you just think about getting that thing. Once you get it though, you just move on to needing something else.
Karl pretty much summed up a key point of Eastern Philosophy innit. If you had endless time, and you could be in complete control of your experiences, you'd spend aeons experiencing everything you'd ever want to, you'd fly, you'd master all the skills in the world, you'd have a harem of supermodels, but eventually you would become bored. Eventually, you would relinquish control, because you'd realise having everything you ever wanted and never facing adversity is not really living.
As well as the problem hole, Karl has also made mention of the worry hole. I dunno if that comes up in this animated series, though. Now Mandy, you should remember that Bullshit man takes the elevator, right? :) The flotation tank thing... well Ricky and Steve were taking notes to program Karl's life, they'd add crap hotels with no proper toilets. I think we know what they'd get up to. It would be 'An Idiot Afloat'. And today I learnd that my stomach has what is essentially a 'pudding pouch'. Gotcha! :) Karl isn't so wrong about the pink or yellow jeans btw. Older guys who wear those tend to be ex-pats and doing well for themselves. Effortlessly brilliant reaction today and it made my morning!
The reason Karl couldn't understand the guy's reference points because he was much wealthier, and the red/pink trousers were typical of a certain upper class style. I must know that from the longer story from XFM.
Interesting question about his pessimism There's a phrase in England "it's grim up North", referring to the north of the country. Karl not only comes from the northern part of the country, but he epitomises this, so it is cultural. Ricky and Steve are very much southerners. The weather is less dull, economically and socially all indicators are better down south generally. Steve is in fact from almost literally the furthest south you can go in England. [Edit: I say this with the impartiality of an Irish person who has lived in northern England and my ex gf is from leafy Kent in the south].
In regards to the dessert stomach I remember seeing a thing saying sugar actually opens your stomach up more so you don’t feel as full but I’m not sure how true it actually is lol I think it was an episode of Good Mythical Morning
Charlie Brooker is geniius enough to come up with Black Mirror on his own...but ya never know, both him and Karl being English he may hav picked something up. i doubt it tho! Brooker has confirmed not to be.
0:25 "Robert Nozick did this thing th-that if you could go into a flotation tank". - The experience machine or pleasure machine is a thought experiment put forward by philosopher Robert Nozick in his 1974 book Anarchy, State, and Utopia. It was an attempt to refute ethical hedonism. 1:20 Again with the Munchies lol. They are not crisps, or chips they are a cube shaped chocolate with a biscuit centre surrounded by caramel. Someone needs to send you a food basket of things like Marmite, Munchies, Monster Munch to sample on video! 1:50 Don't knock being on the toilet, most men have had trips to the toilet so good they have made us question our sexuality. On a more serious note, just the alone time for someone with ADHD/Autistic traits like Karl is probably a huge motivating factor. 3:20 You invented the Matrix 9:40 Steve's main job has always been the buffer between Ricky and Karl, knowing when Karl is about to spew gold, coaxing it out, but most importantly stopping Ricky from sidetracking them, no more is it more in evidence than these moments where he's telling him to shut up unfiltered
Black Mirror is all written by one guy, the amazing British comedian/satirist Charlie Brooker. I believe he commented on it being coincidences, he comes up with a tonne of ideas in that show and maybe theres some overlap with Karls specific type of genius haha
Since I know you've started watching aunty Donna when you were were saying there's always room for dessert I was almost certain you were making a refrence .
I’d love Mandy stick a body cam meet sit an have a 5 min conversation with Karl. I met him once he hates camera phones but he’s the most gentle person ever
What Ricky is talking about at the start here sounds like a philosophical concept called 'simulation theory' (just a slight variation of it). ie. Everything we experience is simulated. It's just the 'brain in a vat' scenario, aka The Matrix. I had an idea after the last Idiot Abroad video. After seeing the return of Bullsh1t Man, it occurred to me that if Bullsh1t Man did exist, who would he be visiting more than probably anyone else? Karl. What I would love to see is a Karl mashup of Karl saying something ridiculous, and then Karl busting in as Bullsh1t Man and... 🫵BULLSH1T!!! Dessert pouch 😂 love it. It would explain a lot.
In your perfect world, where you can eat anything and everything you could possibly want. Would you cook ot for yourself or would someone cook it for you?
Most Brits are reasonably pessimistic and see overly optimistic people as foolish, we tend to not get too excited over things, well that certainly was the case for the generations that either saw the wars or the consequences of, as the brits were very extremely involved in the last few huge wars.
@@MandyCaneLane So Jim'll fix it (aka Jimmy Savile), was a show where people wrote in and asked for their dreams to come true, he was really popular and loved by the nation, also a radio DJ.. after he died in 2010 ish it all came out that he abused children, our BBC covered up his actions for years, hence when you see him with comedians now in reactions ppl cringe a little
Brilliant reaction Mandy, Your perfect world is to eat everything and not get fat, I'm lactose intolerant, I'm imagining endless cream cake... Ice-cream... Smoothies, And it won't give me a problem hole 😊
@MandyCaneLane tbh it's not as good without ppl reactions, love people laughing at same thing lol llf..must've watched it about 30times funnier everytime llf if it wasn't for the animation it would be terrible..just comedy's you review?
The Jim they talk about during the Jim'll fix it bit was about a famous tv presenter called Jimmy Saville, he was one of the most beloved, famous people in the country. Turns out he was one of the biggest monsters who ever lived, he did some truly sick and disturbing things and never got caught. It all came out after he died. Google him if youre interested but its pretty sad
The munchies triggered every British person. Confusion from the American animators between Munchies and Monster Munch I'm thinking. Munchies are S Tier chocolates.
Yeah, I thought it was weird that they animated 'crisps'. It didn't make much sense when he wanted to "look inside" one. But to me 'munchies' are any yummy snack, so whatever they were talking about made enough sense 🤪
"Shut up, Ricky! Let him explain!" - Me watching every episode.
Fun Fact: Munchies in the UK are actually chocolate bits with a caramel centre, not potato crisps.
Yeah, you can tell he's talking about the nestlè chocolate munchies by how he says he bites the top off first... everyone has done that with those lol
I think Karl actually eats monster munch crisps. Seeing as he’s packed them in his bag when on an idiot abroad.

Karl & I share a few things in common.
He was born 2 months before me.
We were both going to be called Brett, but our parents changed their minds just before we were born.
He grew up on a council estate in Manchester, I grew up on a council estate in Birmingham.
Karl had a Raleigh grifter and a Z84, as did I. We both tried boxing once, and gave up immediately.
We both grew up to become miserable old buggers.

Pretty sure he's never even met Karl!

That was all explained
I am diving head first into that tank. "I think therefore I am". In this scenario, the illusion would actually be reality.
This discussion is ingenious, they’ve never had a bad one however. The animator is worth their weight in gold

Munchies isn't a crisp brand its a candy biscuit caramel with chocolate over the top sort of cube shaped
"I would Eat the World" Mandy Cane Lane 2023.
Damn straight 😌
Wonderfully funny and entertaining like always !! 🤩🤗 (well I haven't watched yet but I know it will be) 🤣🤪 just about to now, looking forward to it ☺
If I’d gone in the tank, had a perfect life, I’d have met up with you to put the world to rights
What Ricky is talking about at the start here sounds like a philosophical concept called 'simulation theory' (just a slight variation of it). ie. Everything we experience is simulated. It's just the 'brain in a vat' scenario, aka The Matrix.
I had an idea after the last Idiot Abroad video. After seeing the return of Bullsh1t Man, it occurred to me that if Bullsh1t Man did exist, who would he be visiting more than probably anyone else? Karl.
What I would love to see is a Karl mashup of Karl saying something ridiculous, and then Karl busting in as Bullsh1t Man and... 🫵BULLSH1T!!!
Dessert pouch 😂 love it. It would explain a lot.
Hahahhahaha! Karl would spend all day in front of his mirror wall calling himself out! 🤣🤣🤣
@@MandyCaneLane 🤣🤣🤣 brilliant!
Just wait until you see Karl vs Steve
That's Life
Don’t forget to watch the intro for s3 e1
I'd rather fill myself up on 2nds and 3rds than have a dessert.
In your perfect world, where you can eat anything and everything you could possibly want. Would you cook ot for yourself or would someone cook it for you?
its not good to have a problem hole🤣🤣🤣🤣
Most Brits are reasonably pessimistic and see overly optimistic people as foolish, we tend to not get too excited over things, well that certainly was the case for the generations that either saw the wars or the consequences of, as the brits were very extremely involved in the last few huge wars.
I had a spicy sausage 🤣
we all have a desert hole
Not sure if you are aware about Jim will fix it, are you? A lesson might be needed for future reactions lol
Lesson please!
@@MandyCaneLane So Jim'll fix it (aka Jimmy Savile), was a show where people wrote in and asked for their dreams to come true, he was really popular and loved by the nation, also a radio DJ.. after he died in 2010 ish it all came out that he abused children, our BBC covered up his actions for years, hence when you see him with comedians now in reactions ppl cringe a little
Brilliant reaction Mandy,
Your perfect world is to eat everything and not get fat,
I'm lactose intolerant, I'm imagining endless cream cake... Ice-cream... Smoothies,
And it won't give me a problem hole 😊
Such a chuffed lad :D
Munchies are not what the animator thinks they are!
Yeah! Mandy.We human definitely have different dessert stomach.Hee!
Do you ever go back and re watch these?hilarious
Not yet! I imagine I will when I am through. 🤗🤪 But not watch myself. Watch the show. ☝🏻
@MandyCaneLane tbh it's not as good without ppl reactions, love people laughing at same thing lol llf..must've watched it about 30times funnier everytime llf if it wasn't for the animation it would be terrible..just comedy's you review?
@@nevin804 mainly, every once in a blue moon I do something different or music...
if you ever get a chance get on to lee evans, he's like Peter kay but funnier lol comedy is better 😁
lee evans comedy gala 18mins
Second Mandy “eat your damn dessert” rant in a few weeks. Something happened…
Hahahaha! Is it? I just take my desserts very seriously 😌
The Jim they talk about during the Jim'll fix it bit was about a famous tv presenter called Jimmy Saville, he was one of the most beloved, famous people in the country.
Turns out he was one of the biggest monsters who ever lived, he did some truly sick and disturbing things and never got caught. It all came out after he died.
Google him if youre interested but its pretty sad
I was thinking if it's the "Jim" I'm thinking of, aka the kiddy diddler.
The pessimism is probably a combination of Pilkington genes and being from Manchester
I agree with a lot of what Karl says... But a curry, just like a stew... Is a lot better after a day in the fridge and reheated.
OMG the Karl laughing animation was amazing!
P.S. def get in tank, life is too much of struggle sometimes.
My people! 🙌🏻🤗
The munchies triggered every British person. Confusion from the American animators between Munchies and Monster Munch I'm thinking. Munchies are S Tier chocolates.
Yeah, I thought it was weird that they animated 'crisps'. It didn't make much sense when he wanted to "look inside" one. But to me 'munchies' are any yummy snack, so whatever they were talking about made enough sense 🤪
