I love that his "fame" hasn't really changed him much, just gave him a bit more money for his DIY's, a lovely summer home (last I heard they wanted a place in Italy, according to the fortune teller who read his ass) and enough money to keep Suzanne happy aka to "shut her up" as he would so romantically refer to it lol. He could have kept his "schtick" up for years but there's a certain amount of wealth that you hit where it doesn't affect your happiness either way, you won't be a happier person if you made more/or less - I hope that makes sense in my garbled Karl way of explaining stuff (my bro always tells me I explain things in a Pilkington-type of way so I here's hoping the Karl fans will be able to translate what I'm trying to say) 😉 If more rich people were like Karl (less greedy, egotistical and power hungry), the world would be a little more fair and definitely less corrupt, in my humble opinion. He's still got probably way more money than he'll ever know how to spend in one lifetime and he's definitely outdone himself in the eyes of his family and old friends from Manchester. Good guy Karl, I am just thankful he shared so many years of his life and think he deserves to live out a quiet, peaceful little life. Although I do miss him, I'll forever have those classic XFM years to listen to - and his travel escapades to rewatch when I'm down and out in life. I so genuinely hope he's happy and enjoying retirement, he's definitely earned it putting up with Ricky and Stephen for all those years! 😉 ❤️
@@steviem8117 "the money doesn't make you happier beyond a certain point" thing is utter nonsense applied to individual people. It's measured across society, it doesn't mean no single person would be happier beyond that point ffs. It's more about what you choose to do with your life that determines happiness, and obviously money facilitates that. Some people just make wiser choices than others, but that's little to do with money
@@steviem8117 Doesn't shock me at all. Fortune doesn't make people bad - it brings out the badness that was already in certain people. Karl's just one of the good ones.

Ricky Gervais can be funny plus I've known guys like Pilkinton, where they can be pretty funny without realising it, but there should be a limit on what's considered comedy & I don't think being cooped up in a house being persecuted because of you're race, & if caught, is basically a death sentence & trying to survive a regime that says, if you're Jewish, you're dead!, I don't consider that comedy or something to be laughed at. Human standards are slipping & they should have a cap on brutal "comedy"!
I mean I’d understand this comment if they were laughing about the fact that Anne Frank died, but that’s entirely not the joke. They are laughing about how little Karl knows about this prominent historical figure and his accident assumption that she didn’t do anything of note. Humor is literally a way of coping with tragedy, the day we lose the ability to make jokes just around the presence of tragedy will be a sad day.

'She was in a cupboard'
The way he just casually says that line absolutely floors me.
And years later, Karl's diary made him rich.

“That’s all I know about Anne.”
“ANNE!”
That always makes me laugh, Karl on first name basis with Anne Frank 🤣🤣
They go way back 😂
ANNE
Some of Ricky’s small responses to what Karl says are what make me laugh the most
Star Wars Rants hahahahaha me too, some of the best moments are where Ricky or Steve are egging Karl on to keep ranting 😂😂
That’s all I know about Anne.
ANNE
Squatter with a diary
That’s the WORST thing I’ve ever heard 😂
One of Karl’s best moments!

ANNE
"Er, she were in a cupboard"
Was*
"The woman in a cupboard." fuck me.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand off to the Karl's Diary compilation I GOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo
to be fair the secret doorway to the attic was behind a cupboard
SS Offizier: "Guten tak, we're here to search the attic that is visible from the outside."
Guy in the house: "I don't know what you're talking about, if we had an attic, where is the door for it?"
SS Offizier "Huh, you're right, no attic door! Well I guess we'll be taking off then, cya..."
it was behind a bookshelf wasnt it?
Anne Frank's drum kit
Karl thinks i look like Dave Hill from slade 😂
Oight, I told ya that
"She wasn't even good at it."
😆😆😆
If it was a down syndrom mate instead, Karl would know all about it 😄
There used to be a much longer version of this and I hate that it’s not on RUclips anymore.
(If anybody knows of that version please comment the link)
If you’re referring to the vid I think you are, the other part is from a much later segment of the podcasts, whereas this was from the XFM days
ep-xfm-S3E12: From xfm Ricky Gervais
But... isn't that the first place they look?
Ok but who wouldn't listen to anne franks ipod here?
I keep trying to find the one he says she is like some sort of moth in the attic but I can’t find it 😭

Let's not mention that half the diary was written in ball point pen, which wasn't invented until after the war and that her dad is named as Co-author.
Why would we mention something that is complete nonsense?
