I agree as funny as this is there are so many clips even funnier. The HBO show, any I stallment of Monkey News, any Rockbuster that Ricky gets mad about, and anytime Karl and Merchant go at each other. Some of the funniest things.
Honestly guys Karl Pilkington is being himself … you have to listen to the diary of Karl Pilkington… it’s the funniest thing I have ever listened to but maybe you have to be British to get it fully, I don’t know
Carl was a radio producer and was assigned to Ricky many years ago when he was doing his podcast. Ricky loved his personality so he brought him onto the podcast and he’s just a grumpy dude who has very little patience for Ricky lol. Dave taken snippet of the podcast and animated. It called the Ricky Gervais show. They’ve also sent Carl around the world under miserable circumstances called idiot abroad.
Karl Pilkington was acting in a police drama on BBC television tonight, it was called Ludwig. He played it straight, he was in a short scene but convincing.
Hey, fellow linguist here with a lot of exposure to English: To thump is an onomatopoetic word for hitting something with something heavy and solid so it makes a dull sound like "thump", but in casual contexts you can also just use it as a more powerful-sounding alternative for "hit", as Karl does here. I'm not surprised you don't know this word because it's slang and not technical jargon and thus doesn't have a clear-cut definition because people don't really think about what specifically makes up a thumping versus a pounding, they just choose what feels right in the moment. Also, "'alright" is a common casual greeting where Karl is from, but it doesn't really help him become more animated because he barely moves his mouth when saying it 😅
Karl was Ricky's radio producer at XFM but Ricky and Steve (Merchant) were amazed by his opinions on things and he got drafted in... Karl has had a load of his own shows on TV since.
So glad to see your happy smiling faces again. We all think of you at what must be a truly frightening time. I hope that any loved ones back in Lebanon are safe and well. Keep the faith. The right thinking world is with you and Gaza at this time. Great reactions as usual. You both love each other - use that strength. Love John
The most funny man, without even trying.. My favourite person.. Karl Pilkington ! "Meet Karl Pilkington " (1 and 2 ) is great to watch after.. They made a animated podcast "The Ricky Gervais Show", is one of my favourite things to watch..the cartoons are Top and make the podcast even better ! Also, they decided to send Karl around the World (An Idiot Abroad), where he started in China (that is why he was talking about chinese).. Totaly recomend both, (The Ricky Gervais Show, and An Idiot Abroad), but after this "lesson", the best to see a bit better how his mind works, "Meet Karl Pilkington" is the best way...
Omg you're about to go down a long rabbit hole of Karl Pilkington.... I didn't realise you've never seen him before, but he is the true reason why Ricky is successful lol.
Oh yes! Love you two and so glad you get into the Gervais and Karl stuff. Hours of fun with these pair. Idiot Abroad would be perfect for your reaction. Stay safe and love your Flanagan and Led Zeppelin stuff 👍
😄 Just remember that Karl actually thinks....that this is a real learn English programme. While Ricky knows full well this is just a wind up! Brilliant! And while Karl thinks that...he is actually acting like it's a real travel guide for Chinese people. London Eyye. It's basically "the worst English lesson ever" (as Ricky remarks) and, unsurprisingly, the worst real travel guide for Chinese people. An improv comedy masterpiece like no other and a high totem of British humor. Endlessly rewatchable.
Speaking of English (see what I did there?) there are more than a few comedy bits out there that deal with the illogical craziness of the English language.

Great to have you back I hope you managed to sort things out I know you were worried as were we Have a fantastic day from David East Anglia Coast England 🎬📽️🎙️💙♥️💫😎🌊🌪️🕊️
Poor Karl. Ricky has tortured him for years. (they are great friends) Karl had his own TV show called An Idiot Abroad. Ricky sent him to lots of different countries and made him suffer. 😂
Yes, Ricky Gervais show with Karl Pilkington and Stephen Merchant is amazing, same comedy as you see here. Also Idiot Abroad where they sent Karl around the world.
Karl pilkington is British comedy royalty ! hes done some hilarious shows , The Rick Gervais show , Idiot Abroad 3 seasons , The moaning of life. Everybody loves him hes just so funny while not even trying to be funny.
It is, as you guessed, completely improvised. Karl was in charge of the sound department as a member of Radio XFM production team when Ricky and he first met. Ricky recognized his natural comedic talent which mostly consisted of dry humour, and the best part is, the most of the time he does not even try to be funny, he is just being his normal self. He is an individual with relatively low formal education, but quite strong opinions,he has no trouble at all voicing them out, and his thought process is so chaotic that it takes some time convincing him they are not the facts. The best way to take the comedy out of him, by the way, is to piss him off and make him grumpy and miserable, which Ricky didn't have any trouble doing. xD I suggest you to watch Idiot Abroad, Meet Karl Pilkington or Ricky Gervais Show(Animated version. Basically Ricky, Karl and Steven merchant talking) as an introduction to this living legend of a man. Also I suggest you to react to one of these masterpieces, if not all of them. They are absolutely hilarious.
I've never heard Ricky laugh so loud, so hard, or so much. I've never heard of that Karl guy, but anyone who can make a professional comedian crack up gets props.
@@bobbyshaftowenttosea5410 Frankly, if this "English Lesson" video is indicative of what he usually does on his own, I'm not impressed. The thing that made it funny for me was Ricky's infectious laughter. Without that, this Karl guy is like a sitcom without the laugh track. If he has better to offer than mere disgruntled deadpan disdain and sarcastic stoicism, I may change my mind, but so far, I'm not impressed. Sorry if that offends.
@@BlackieNuffNot at all. I agree. They'll be watching " The Ricky Gervais Show" next. An animation of Karl talking + Ricky laughing. " Stop, stop, I'm gonna burst"
Hi. I agree with all the others, you HAVE to do 'The Ricky Gervais Show'. Animated 3 series of pure gold, 13 episodes per series. They annoy Karl SO MUCH. IT IS HILARIOUS, YOU'LL LOVE IT. ❤❤🇬🇧
You guys will learn that you can never anticipate what Karl Pilkington says. Happy you guys are reacting to him…..should check out an idiot abroad they’re quite long though.
Guys if you want a good introduction to Karl Pilkington you can find 'meet Karl Pilkington' part 1 and part 2. Ricky Gervais interviews Karl about different subjects like race and disability. It's very funny just like this video. There is also an idiot abroad which is a great show and the Ricky Gervais show which is a podcast made in to a cartoon which also has Karl's world views another very funny show..Once you start to watch these I guarantee you will love Karl he's hilarious 😂
I feel like you two should've watched the introduction to Karl Pilkington first, but essentially the TLDR - Karl was just a sound producer on a radio show Ricky and Steven Merchant worked at, they realised he saw the world through an odd perspective, and was a little 'simple' so they started getting him involved in the radio show, then interviews like this, then a few shows like 'An Idiot Abroad (1, 2 and 3)' and he then became somewhat a household name and had his own show 'The Moaning of Life'
Karl is not playing a character that is what he is like in real life. Ricky used to be a radio DJ and Karl was his producer. One day he put the microphone on Karl and asked him questions - what came out was hilarious!
OK, so, here's the challenge: now you have to go visit some friends and tell them what you just watched. Good luck. -- And maybe, if you are really lucky, this is part of a 23-episode series of lessons.
Gervais is a comedian and Pilkington was just a radio producer that used to work for him at his radio show. Gervais eventually realized that Pilkington was unintentionally hilarious and started including him in his radio show more and more often, to the point that Pilkington became an integral part of it. After that Gervais did many projects with Pilkington, simply because he found him extremely funny. But Pilkington is not acting, he is not an actor or a comedian, he is just some guy that happens to be extremely funny without intending to, and he himself doesn't realize why he is so funny.
I can see that they have no idea who Karl Pilkington is. I am sure they would soon go down the rabbit hole of "The Idiot Abroad" and his other hit series.
The HBO Ricky Gervais show is pure comedy gold. It is not scripted and Karl is the center of that universe.
The aniverse
I agree as funny as this is there are so many clips even funnier. The HBO show, any I stallment of Monkey News, any Rockbuster that Ricky gets mad about, and anytime Karl and Merchant go at each other. Some of the funniest things.
yes, please react to the Ricky Gervais show. :)
You need to react to ALOT more of Karl! Watch an idiot abroad
So glad to see your back love from the UK ❤
Welcome to the weird and wonderful world of Karl Pilkington. There’s no going back from here. 😂
i wish i was just discovering him too. he is a treasure really.
Karl's travel show 'Idiot Aboard' is fantastic. He visits Baalbek in one of them.
Glad to see you both safe ,,,sending ❤ from the uk to you both & family
So glad to see you safe and sound and back on our screens, I have been thinking about you guys
Great to see you back. Hope your families are safe. Learn English is one of the funniest videos ever. Karl Pilkington is a genius!
Hi both so glad to see that you are OK ,i hope your parents and pets are safe to.
Welcome back! I was praying for you and your families. So happy to see you guys are safe and well. Love and blessings from Ireland.
So glad to see that you are ok and back doing reactions. God bless.
great to see you guys are safe, love from the uk
It is so great to see you both back! Cheers from Canada.
*"Thump"* the way they said it was the same thing as a *slap, punch or beat up*
No it isn't. Thump is with a closed fist. A slap is comletely different
You need a wallop for confusing a punch from a slap lol
So glad you guys are ok ❤
You're not the first to be like..."I don't know what the f*** that was, but I need more of it" 🤣🤣🤣 ❤ from near Liverpool 👍
North end Birkenhead here 👍🏻👍🏻
@@kevinlawes591 Sunny Southport 😎👍👍
wonderful to see you back!! great reaction
Honestly guys Karl Pilkington is being himself … you have to listen to the diary of Karl Pilkington… it’s the funniest thing I have ever listened to but maybe you have to be British to get it fully, I don’t know
Nothing seems to make Ricky laugh harder than putting Karl in situations where he's uncomfortable and watching Karl's emotions rise to the surface.
You will enjoy the shows where Carl gets sent overseas - "An Idiot Abroad". So funny, Carl is so not in his comfort zone.... 🤣😂✈
I will never ever gets bored of people reacting to Karl for the first time! Karl pilkington is an unmitigated genius and a gold mine of comedy
❤ great reaction guys. cheers x
Oh so happy to see you both.....And Karl Pilkington ahhh you are going down a rabbit hole there
Love Karl, he is as real as it gets.

I've seen this maybe 80 times or more and never gets old.
Welcome back. And what a great video to return with! All the best to you and your families ❤🇬🇧👊
So happy to see you well and laughing. Much love from the UK
Glad to see you're safe lads,
Karl is a legend
This is the video reaction I have been waiting for.
Karls got a wonderful show called "an idiot abroad". Very funny and worth reacting to
Karl Pilkington was acting in a police drama on BBC television tonight, it was called Ludwig. He played it straight, he was in a short scene but convincing.
Awww, you guys are back! ❤
Karl Pilkington is comedy gold. When Ricky met him he saw pound signs 😂

You guys have contagious smiles. Nice channel. Cheers from Morocco
I loved this reaction
Great to see you both back, Take care.
Karl was Ricky's radio producer at XFM but Ricky and Steve (Merchant) were amazed by his opinions on things and he got drafted in...
Karl has had a load of his own shows on TV since.
Love the channel guys. Hope you’re both safe and your families too from the horrible things happening over there 🤗
Good to see that you are both safe and well. I hope the family are the same. Take care.
So glad to see your happy smiling faces again. We all think of you at what must be a truly frightening time. I hope that any loved ones back in Lebanon are safe and well. Keep the faith. The right thinking world is with you and Gaza at this time. Great reactions as usual. You both love each other - use that strength. Love John
The right thinking world is also with Israel!
Glad you've found Karl, its a long long rabbit hole youll be going down but a hilarious one 😂😂
Lovely to see you again hope you’re safe and well xx
Welcome to the world of Karl Pilkinton! 😂

Meet Karl Pilkington 1 has to be next .
Best choice next is meet Karl Pilkington 1&2.
It's lovely to see you laughing again after ' Comrades in ARMS. Keep safe. Cheers ! Sheffield South Yorkshire.
Oh yes! Love you two and so glad you get into the Gervais and Karl stuff. Hours of fun with these pair.
Idiot Abroad would be perfect for your reaction.
Stay safe and love your Flanagan and Led Zeppelin stuff 👍

I am very envious of all you have yet to see of him

Good to see you guys are both ok, if you want a laugh you should react to “after life outtakes” which has Ricky Gervais starring in it.
Hi. I agree with all the others, you HAVE to do 'The Ricky Gervais Show'. Animated 3 series of pure gold, 13 episodes per series. They annoy Karl SO MUCH. IT IS HILARIOUS, YOU'LL LOVE IT. ❤❤🇬🇧
How have you guys never encountered Katl? Mann, what a gift to humanity .... you're gonna love k.p. hes done 3 seasons of "An Idiot Abroad"
Thump is another word for punch.
You need to see "Meet Karl Pilkington " its his introduction to us all
You guys will learn that you can never anticipate what Karl Pilkington says. Happy you guys are reacting to him…..should check out an idiot abroad they’re quite long though.
"Of course it is"
more rickey and karl!. Try 'An Idiot Abroad' or The Ricky Gevais Show'!
Ren has a new song called Money Ties.
Love your reactions

Hahaha your'll need to watch Karl's Diary and An Idiot Abroad!!..😂
Karl is not trying to be funny, that's just who he is it's 100% real.

They’re even funnier as cartoons.
Check out *(The Ricky Gervais Show)* similar dumb conversations but Karl never laughs or smiles
You should both check out Lee Evans talking about marriage and his wife!
Karl is not playing a character that is what he is like in real life. Ricky used to be a radio DJ and Karl was his producer. One day he put the microphone on Karl and asked him questions - what came out was hilarious!
You've missed out on a ton of Ren releases. 2 just recently. Glad to see you back.
Congratulations on starting down the karl pilkinton rabbit hole
Happy to see that yous are both safe and well. It's tragic to see the new blitzkrieg that is currently being unleashed on your homeland. Best Wishes
Karl for PM !
