Instead the PRC tucked them away and has them put on little shows to be laughed at.

He's not wrong mind, is he. lol. Warwick always nabs them roles, he's even got an agency that hires other dwarves to make sure he gets the best ones lmao
He cannot fathom how Warwick on a shelf is “art” and another dwarf on a mushroom is “exploitation”. And, he’s not wrong. Either - both are detestable and should stop, or both are work/income and should be celebrated. But, the issue would be, Warwick wouldn’t have work (other than at Christmas), and his dwarf talent agency where he represents other little fellas would go out of business.
@@JDAfrica In other words, Warwick is a hypocrite, Karl is right. You're right, either both are detestable, or both are welcome. I lean towards the latter, why shouldn't they have their own little communities like that? What sort of life do they have if we just act they're all normal?
+FairnessAdvocate It's much more efficient to make 4 foot tall mining tunnels. The benefits are unbelievable. These are Asian dwarves, though, so they lack the facial hair their European dwarven cousins are famous for.
To be fair, I don't think Karl is going to laugh at them, he seemed to genuinely like them and find comradery. People watching this show is kind of the same, they watch to see Karl say stupid stuff by accident. At the end of the day the Olympics is the height of freak shows.

I like freaks too , u av to admit there intesting , and if there not being forced to do it, they are enjoying it and are happy, good on em init.warwick does what makes him happy , everyone enjoys diff things
Why wouldn't he? Made his career for precisely the reason he said. He was used basically as a freak he wasn't cast in roles for his amazing acting ability but because he's 3 feet tall. So it does seem messed up him getting rich of essentially the same thing

@@TuorTheBlessedOfUlmo Except you're ignoring the fact that as an actor, Warwick has literally had to scratch and claw his way to where he's at, now, while the people in that village are literally only there because it's one of the only ways they can make a living. What other fucking work could he have done other than play the ewok or the leprechaun? Another better example would be Peter Dinklage, who has specifically tried to avoid roles that he could only land because he's a dwarf. I highly doubt he'd be okay with it if somebody asked him about it. Why should Warwick be fine with it just because that's how he became famous? Being cast in Star Wars certainly did most of that. He doesn't enjoy being 3 feet tall, and he didn't ever enjoy the fact that he could only land certain roles because of it. Like what, he's not allowed to speak out against the exploitation of people such as himself just because he did the best with what life gave him?? That doesn't make any sense.
@@WafflezDay Peter dinklage... The guy who played a type cast dwarf in got, and in Elf he played a a guy whose sole purpose was to be made fun off. Thanks for proving my point mate

That they have a place made for them and that they are in charge. I think that's why he's so dumbfounded by the reaction he gets. He's just thinking how grand it is for them and that they're doing well. Not that they need to be there and the only worth they have is as an oddity.

Of course he will not go... Uk has welfare and laws against discriminations.... And, by the way he is a star and he should remember all the roles he played as a elf, creature... To become a star into tall people's cinema.
he kind of isn't easily recognizable though. most of his roles involved him being in full costume. unless you watched stuff like "life's too short", you may not know who he was
I love how at the start they all greet him in their language and Karl just throws out an “alright?” It’s just like a reflex “you acknowledged me, here’s my acknowledgment”
In the end, Karl was right, saying to Warwick Davis (who was Wicket in Star Wars and Prof. Flitwick in Harry Potter) that stuff, because in a sort of way, the dwarf condition made Warwick what he now is, an actor who does dwarfs roles.
@@CigsInABlanket I think it's likely he meant that as an actor, those are the only roles available to Warwick. He didn't become an actor because of his size, and as you rightly pointed out, there are lots of careers he could have chosen and he is clearly well educated. If Hollywood is still struggling to put men and women of darker complexion in lead roles, then I dont expect them to put anyone who isnt "able-bodied" in a leading man/leading lady role just yet. Obviously, I want to see this change. It's the only way peoples mindsets will shift.
@@craigmaloney6340 So you're saying he became an actor and expected something different? I don't think Warwick was so deluded, even in his younger years. He knew what he was getting into, likely even expected it was what would make him stand out and be successful in such a career. But yes, I agree, it would be nice to see him in some roles that aren't taking advantage of his stature.
@@CigsInABlanket No, that's not what I'm saying! He is an actor by choice. I'm just saying it's as shame the film industry isnt at a point where a leading man or woman role could go to someone with dwarfism. There are stories to be told, interesting stories, but disability is represented poorly on screen, often they are depicted as vulnerable and detached from society when in reality people with disabilities have to overcome adversity every day. So its either that sort of representation or is some sort of Oscar Winning tear-jerker (My Left Foot, for example or A Beautiful Mind.) Where are the rom coms featuring people with disabilities? The family drama? Hell I'd pay to see an autistic action hero on screen or a deaf martial artist.
This is still hilarious, always hilarious... XD The way Karl gets fascinated by different ways of life and always sees a thing he can describe as "alright" is amazing. He's not as blind to realities as many think but he's definitely got more than an ounce of optimism in him especially when surrounded by dwarves and "freaks". The comment about having a mushroom to live in already and in general... His enthusiasm to wander about a miniature house, it's priceless...
The Dwarf Village is one of the coolest things I have ever seen. Mainly because of the architect of the buildings. They give me a happy feeling. No wonder why Karl kind of enjoyed the place. As long as everyone there is happy, this is a great place to visit.
i love how karl really exposes warwick's double standards here - he takes up roles in movies where he's made to look like a novelty character, yet he says these chinese dwarfs are pandering to demand for a "freak show". karl's a brill genius, make no mistake about it.
@AzerGhost16 What's the difference with this village then? They're being employed for their size. There's no evidence that they're being exploited or segregated; what, because they're playing the roles of fairies and the like that's exploitation? Then what about what Warwick does? We don't know enough to say this is anything other than employment for these people.
Shredded Cheese I think that Warwick means that these people live in a community of all-dwarves. It’s kind of awful for Chinese people to take a bunch of dwarves and put them together, make them act as fairies and fantastical creatures. It takes their value as humans and denies them a sense of normality. The key difference between Warwick and the performers is that Warwick has a normal life besides his acting career, whilst these Chinese little people literally live in mushroom-esque houses
@@maple2524 Don't think they "Took" them. they are employed there.. Pretty sure the whole place is a show and the dwarfs don't actually live in those mushrooms. they didn't even have doors or windows ffs, its just a show. they'll go home at the end of the night like any other performer. Karl just assumed they actually lived their because of the "dwarf houses".
"I met a woman, she' s a little dwarf, she's been here for 4 months and she's already got her own mushroom to live in" LMFAO okay now I'm convinced Karl is more a comedian than an idiot
I was drinking water when Karl said that a woman has only been here 4 months and she's already got her own mushroom to live in. I spat out all the water through my nose lol
He's such a pure person not one bad bone in him he's not there to laugh at anyone he's genuinely interested and loves to see things out of the norm how the world works
When Karl is under pressure or is in an uncomfortable position, he comes of with the funniest things. To this day, mainly because of An Idiot Abroad, i call Karl Pilkington the funniest man alive, some might disagree, some might agree but thats my opinion. The reason Ricky or Steve were not sent is because they've gone to different countries and embraced new cultures whilst Karl hasn't, he thinks any one who doesn't have a similar culture to the British is fascinating/weird.
The funniest thing about this clip is when Karl says "there's a woman that I met who's a little dwarf, she's only been here 4 months and she's already got her own mushroom to live in. And you tell me that's wrong."
I see both points of view. On one hand it's great they have somewhere where they can go to make money and live where it's all adapted for them, and it makes sense that they make a little community where everything caters to their needs, but on the other hand it's sad that society doesn't try to include people with different bodies and abilities more so they don't have to build a village separately and can hang around with everyone else.
How do we know they aren’t more happy living amongst other dwarfs? All of them will be in the same boat, everything will be designed for their size so it’s probably more comfortable and safety plus they won’t be making fun of each other for their height.
@@jewellui "how do we know they arent happy living amongst other dwarfs" because they arent fucking wild animals and they can speak for themselves and what they want you idiot.
I don't like when they call Karl an idiot. It's a tired bit. Honestly sometimes he says some pretty insightful stuff. And it doesn't really make you smart to set a guy up for failure because you know how he is, and you believe yourself to be cultured, then just laugh at him. There is something about him that's very genuine.
Ricky Gervais has always come across as kind of stupid to me, and I think a part of him is aware that he's not that bright and he's insecure about it, so he tries to accumulate knowledge so he can pretend he isn't a moron. The amount of times Ricky's been insulted by Karl and the insults fly right over Ricky's head kind of says it all about what Ricky's actual intelligence is. This is why Americans stereotype brits as being snobby bullies.
Warwick is such a hypocrite. He has a problem with the notion that these people in the dwarf village are being "exploited", yet he has no problem appearing in films or TV shows when a little dwarf character is required.
You see, Warwick isn’t bound by the rules and expectations he is fighting for. What he’s doing is “art”, and his mission is to normalize dwarves in more roles..... the fact that he makes sure he gets all those key roles, while systematically burning the bridge behind for anyone else to climb - is just so he can stop their exploitation. He’s a giver
you missed the entire point. warwick isnt making him being a dwarf a funny thing like a freak show. thats what the people in the video are doing, dressing up in funny costumes and dancing on a stage and shit for people to laugh at. not at ALL the same thing.
@@somewhataddicted7685 So, Warwick dressing up in funny little costumes, having to climb up onto a chair for comic effect, along with all the other "little person" gags in 'Life's Too Short' in order to make people laugh is entirely different? Warwick has always been "exploited" in roles purely because of his size. It just happens to have been in a more "respectable" medium where the rewards are also much higher.

Karl belongs in the late 1800s hanging out with the elephant man and going to old fashioned circus freak shows.
he really is a modern-day Salvador Dali, isn't he?
I like how he's describing Warrick like nobody is aware of him lol.
Not like he's an easily recognizable movie star or anything.
Midge
he kind of isn't easily recognizable though. most of his roles involved him being in full costume. unless you watched stuff like "life's too short", you may not know who he was

He is the funniest man alive to me
"I'm in the thick of it."
Karl, You ARE the thick of it.
I love how at the start they all greet him in their language and Karl just throws out an “alright?” It’s just like a reflex “you acknowledged me, here’s my acknowledgment”
Yeah, there was a king!
"they're not making another star wars you're not dressing up as a little monke"
In the end, Karl was right, saying to Warwick Davis (who was Wicket in Star Wars and Prof. Flitwick in Harry Potter) that stuff, because in a sort of way, the dwarf condition made Warwick what he now is, an actor who does dwarfs roles.
Yes but it doesn’t mean he likes that that is what he has had to do.
@@hullstar242 Has to? So, he couldn't have become an accountant or some other desk-ridden job?
Lmao, get real.
@@CigsInABlanket I think it's likely he meant that as an actor, those are the only roles available to Warwick. He didn't become an actor because of his size, and as you rightly pointed out, there are lots of careers he could have chosen and he is clearly well educated. If Hollywood is still struggling to put men and women of darker complexion in lead roles, then I dont expect them to put anyone who isnt "able-bodied" in a leading man/leading lady role just yet. Obviously, I want to see this change. It's the only way peoples mindsets will shift.
@@craigmaloney6340 So you're saying he became an actor and expected something different? I don't think Warwick was so deluded, even in his younger years. He knew what he was getting into, likely even expected it was what would make him stand out and be successful in such a career.
But yes, I agree, it would be nice to see him in some roles that aren't taking advantage of his stature.
@@CigsInABlanket No, that's not what I'm saying! He is an actor by choice. I'm just saying it's as shame the film industry isnt at a point where a leading man or woman role could go to someone with dwarfism. There are stories to be told, interesting stories, but disability is represented poorly on screen, often they are depicted as vulnerable and detached from society when in reality people with disabilities have to overcome adversity every day. So its either that sort of representation or is some sort of Oscar Winning tear-jerker (My Left Foot, for example or A Beautiful Mind.) Where are the rom coms featuring people with disabilities? The family drama? Hell I'd pay to see an autistic action hero on screen or a deaf martial artist.
This is still hilarious, always hilarious... XD
The way Karl gets fascinated by different ways of life and always sees a thing he can describe as "alright" is amazing. He's not as blind to realities as many think but he's definitely got more than an ounce of optimism in him especially when surrounded by dwarves and "freaks".
The comment about having a mushroom to live in already and in general... His enthusiasm to wander about a miniature house, it's priceless...
Karl is the best! I absolutely love his explanations and thoughts on things!
The Dwarf Village is one of the coolest things I have ever seen. Mainly because of the architect of the buildings. They give me a happy feeling. No wonder why Karl kind of enjoyed the place. As long as everyone there is happy, this is a great place to visit.
I have never seen another man as accidentally hilarious as Karl Pilkington XD
Karl loves a pun.

But it's an act dude.
I love how Karl has a picture on his phone of Warwick in a shelf!
Google
theres a little lady that came here, shes been here 4 months and shes already got her own little mushroom,LOLOLOLOLOL
"any film with a dwarf in it, he's it.."
jesus fucking christ Karl, i'm crying with laughter
i love how karl really exposes warwick's double standards here - he takes up roles in movies where he's made to look like a novelty character, yet he says these chinese dwarfs are pandering to demand for a "freak show". karl's a brill genius, make no mistake about it.
@AzerGhost16 What's the difference with this village then? They're being employed for their size. There's no evidence that they're being exploited or segregated; what, because they're playing the roles of fairies and the like that's exploitation? Then what about what Warwick does?
We don't know enough to say this is anything other than employment for these people.
Shredded Cheese I think that Warwick means that these people live in a community of all-dwarves. It’s kind of awful for Chinese people to take a bunch of dwarves and put them together, make them act as fairies and fantastical creatures. It takes their value as humans and denies them a sense of normality. The key difference between Warwick and the performers is that Warwick has a normal life besides his acting career, whilst these Chinese little people literally live in mushroom-esque houses
@@maple2524 Don't think they "Took" them. they are employed there.. Pretty sure the whole place is a show and the dwarfs don't actually live in those mushrooms. they didn't even have doors or windows ffs, its just a show. they'll go home at the end of the night like any other performer. Karl just assumed they actually lived their because of the "dwarf houses".
@Azius The only reason Warwicks in those roles is because he's a midget mate don't pretend otherwise
@@maple2524 what do you mean take, they have to apply for the job like all the other dwarves
the editing team should win an emmy. look at their work as soon as karls on the phone
"I met a woman, she' s a little dwarf, she's been here for 4 months and she's already got her own mushroom to live in"
LMFAO okay now I'm convinced Karl is more a comedian than an idiot
But Warwick makes a living out of being a dwarf
Same for them
To be fair to Karl, he'd probably be perfectly happy with his own little mushroom house.
"Its Karl, Ricky's mate"
😄
'It's really cozy... To him it's massive innit'
“Oooh you shouldn’t be having a little dwarf village and all that”
They all seem happy and get along, so obviously, there is no problem!
Best compliment ever....”That’s not crap, is it.”
👍😬
Best I can hope to hear when I do anything artistic.
@@shooby9496 Well, ya comment isn’t crap, is it...
❤️
You’re welcome 😉
4:15 Cameraman trying to stifle his laugh 😁
"If all your work dries up, they're not making any more Star Wars - you can't dress up as a monkey."
😂
The dwarfs voices are so cute
I was drinking water when Karl said that a woman has only been here 4 months and she's already got her own mushroom to live in. I spat out all the water through my nose lol
OMG! I’m chilean and never seen Karl before, but this is hilarius. So manny funny quotes. This dude is a legend. 😂
Absolute legend. Their podcasts are hilarious are worth checking out if you haven’t already.
He's such a pure person not one bad bone in him he's not there to laugh at anyone he's genuinely interested and loves to see things out of the norm how the world works
Bloody great show miss karl & his little mate please bring the show back thank you
i don't remember me laughing so hard in a long time. This is gold.
I legitimately can't tell if Karl plays a character or if he is just being himself.
He’s like this mate
Nobody could fake the character for as long as he has.
This is a pretty accurate reflexion about how hollywood trats dwarf people. There is no much difference from this to the biggest movies.
Hollywood pays a damn site better
When Karl is under pressure or is in an uncomfortable position, he comes of with the funniest things. To this day, mainly because of An Idiot Abroad, i call Karl Pilkington the funniest man alive, some might disagree, some might agree but thats my opinion. The reason Ricky or Steve were not sent is because they've gone to different countries and embraced new cultures whilst Karl hasn't, he thinks any one who doesn't have a similar culture to the British is fascinating/weird.
"nice little show they put on..."
Warwick: "......"
Warwick judging it, without talking to anyone whose experienced it.
Karl is so god damn pure. He must be protected at all costs.
The funniest thing about this clip is when Karl says "there's a woman that I met who's a little dwarf, she's only been here 4 months and she's already got her own mushroom to live in. And you tell me that's wrong."
When Warrick's work dried up he just tried his hand at a mundane daytime TV quiz instead!
Warrick is being hypocritical. He's happy to exploit himself for money yet disgusted anyone else like him would.
Yeah his roles are always playing a character.
His dwarfism isn't the punchline
"he was at the top. he had a little cloak on and a crown and shades on. you could tell. he was in charge."
I see both points of view. On one hand it's great they have somewhere where they can go to make money and live where it's all adapted for them, and it makes sense that they make a little community where everything caters to their needs, but on the other hand it's sad that society doesn't try to include people with different bodies and abilities more so they don't have to build a village separately and can hang around with everyone else.
Well said
How do we know they aren’t more happy living amongst other dwarfs?
All of them will be in the same boat, everything will be designed for their size so it’s probably more comfortable and safety plus they won’t be making fun of each other for their height.
@@jewellui "how do we know they arent happy living amongst other dwarfs"
because they arent fucking wild animals and they can speak for themselves and what they want you idiot.
@@jewellui They're not a monolith. Maybe some would genuinely prefer where they're living, but the issue is that it's basically forced on all of them.
Warwick is a legendary actor and the casual 'a mate of Ricky's.....yeah I'm just here in China' that was a lot lol
She has got her own mushroom now and she is happy ...
i could not say it better my self 🤣
“She’s already got her own mushroom to live in” 😂
Did he just tell a dwarf that he is on his high horse . Omg kill me
The fact that Karl thought Warwick would love this is priceless!
I don't like when they call Karl an idiot. It's a tired bit. Honestly sometimes he says some pretty insightful stuff. And it doesn't really make you smart to set a guy up for failure because you know how he is, and you believe yourself to be cultured, then just laugh at him. There is something about him that's very genuine.
Ricky Gervais has always come across as kind of stupid to me, and I think a part of him is aware that he's not that bright and he's insecure about it, so he tries to accumulate knowledge so he can pretend he isn't a moron. The amount of times Ricky's been insulted by Karl and the insults fly right over Ricky's head kind of says it all about what Ricky's actual intelligence is. This is why Americans stereotype brits as being snobby bullies.
She's already got her own mushroom to live in...
Has Karl never been to a theme park before??
Now I can't get the image of Warwick Davis on a high horse out of my mind. It's like a birthday card image or something.
I like how the doors are made even smaller than they need to be
I have a friend that would be terrified to be there. Sending her this video now
Warwick is such a hypocrite. He has a problem with the notion that these people in the dwarf village are being "exploited", yet he has no problem appearing in films or TV shows when a little dwarf character is required.
Well hes an actor and not being exploited by the communists
You see, Warwick isn’t bound by the rules and expectations he is fighting for.
What he’s doing is “art”, and his mission is to normalize dwarves in more roles..... the fact that he makes sure he gets all those key roles, while systematically burning the bridge behind for anyone else to climb - is just so he can stop their exploitation.
He’s a giver
you missed the entire point. warwick isnt making him being a dwarf a funny thing like a freak show. thats what the people in the video are doing, dressing up in funny costumes and dancing on a stage and shit for people to laugh at. not at ALL the same thing.
@@somewhataddicted7685 So, Warwick dressing up in funny little costumes, having to climb up onto a chair for comic effect, along with all the other "little person" gags in 'Life's Too Short' in order to make people laugh is entirely different? Warwick has always been "exploited" in roles purely because of his size. It just happens to have been in a more "respectable" medium where the rewards are also much higher.
Yep he never gets a serious role it’s only a dwarf character only used for comedic purposes he’s a hypocrite
He's up on his "high horse"?
Karl's too much😂
I honey don't think I have ever enjoyed as much or thought a person was more hilariously & interesting than Karl.
“Because I know people at home get a little funny about....oh you know....we shouldn’t be havin a little dwarf village”
LOL
