Karl's pond commentary is a pretty eloquent (and funny) summary of a lot of the ancient greek tragedies. Often people in power don't realise how insignificant they are until it's too late. You might be a big fish in a small pond, but you're still in someone's garden. Brilliant🤣🤣🤣
the thing about the saying is that when you're a big fish in a small pond, everyone notices when suddenly you're acting like the big fish you were in a big pond (like someone from a small town being a hot shot, then being humbled when they move to New York City where you aren't cared about) so really what Karl is saying is brilliant because he's saying if he's a big fish in a small pond, you don't want that you'd be unhappy, so you'd move to a big pond which essentially is why the saying is even used
The fact that when Karl actually jokes around a little and Ricky laughs even harder than usual and Karl even allows himself a rare smile and a laugh too signifies when genuine friendship shines through between them
Karl didn't have the greatest formal education, but I genuinely believe he views the world in almost a genius way. He makes connections that other people don't
I agree. 'The big fish isn't really in charge because he's in someone else's garden' is next level when you stop to think of it. Karl is a deep thinker packaged as a simple one.
Ricky Gervais once said on Conan that most comedians would die just to be as funny as him, and Karl does it accidentally and he's just trying to explain himself most of the time, what a lad. 😂😂
Karl Pilkington doesn't have a clue what that's like - Ricky Gervais a comedy genius, shut the fuck up. Stop watering down that word with such a stupid statement.
One thing I like about Pilkington is, He could become president of America and he'd still be Karl Pilkington from manchester. He could win the Noble prize and still he'd be Karl Pilkington from Manchester. He is who he is, Doesn't change his persona no matter who he meets. Very genuine.
*Bald President Pilkington gets back from an exhausting speech* Ricky (his advisor): “Karl don’t sit down, you’ve got a meeting with the prime minister of Madagascar.” Karl: “Bloody hell. It’s doin me ed in.”
“Hang on a minute, who put you in goal?” My favorite, brilliant. He’s truly bewildered to the point of frustration 😂 like he’s got money on the game and would like a word with the coach 😂 Gold
“Cause it’s a pond, their in someone else’s garden” it’s lowkey a genius analogy but the way he’s so casually and seriously saying it while they’re dying laughing is hilarious 😂
Ricky always laughs and moves like a little kid, it's kind of heartwarming because its awkward but we can tell its genuine and he doesn't hold back one bit. Genuine in everything he does, its great
i absolutely LOVE Karl's view of the universe - he makes me laugh so hard that I have to ration myself to how much I listen to at any one time! The man is a NATURAL comedian ... and he doesn't even know it.
You know you’re doing something right when you make a comedian laugh. Heck even better if you make the always-serious manager/boss laugh their ass off.
Its a yin and yang thing. Ricky is a pretty self aware comedian, who's usually doing something, actively trying to be funny (not in a negative way). When you get hold of a person who seems (or acts) totally unaware, innocent in a way you can't comprehend you ever behaving, you can work off of each other. And boy, did Ricky (and Merchant) milk that combination. If you have seen The Office bloopers, Ricky laughs pretty hysterically at situations where his co-actors get out of character naturally because of something he made them do.
Probably true for most comedians but Ricky is notorious for large, loud, intense outbursts of laughter. He does it all the time, watch some of his outtakes. It's 99% him bursting out into laughter and ruining the take lol.
I’d loved for Karl to have continued the big fish scenario with “and even the person who’s garden it is isn’t in charge because they could rent the property and the landlord would be in charge” 😆
Two things: I could listen to Ricky's laugh all day Two: First time seeing Karl legitimately laugh & it was worth the wait (even though it's at his own joke lol)
Watching this video with wife sleeping beside me. Karl speaks: Me. Can't hear a thing so turns volume up. Ricky laughs: Turns volume down so wife doesn't wake.
Even with Karl’s retirement, looking back at it these moments must have been a blast, you only live once and Karl, Ricky and Steve seem to have lots of fun
If somebody out there can find that interview with Warrick, Karl and Ricky where Karl goes on about Warrick showing off pictures of his family on his phone while Karl only had a picture of a pigeon, I'll finally be able to pop it on youtube again
I've been searching my HD for the past 2 hours looking for it mate, I know exactly what you mean I just can't remember what it's on. I have pretty much every single video/audio clip with Karl on however big or small it is. If I find it I'll upload it for you. It's bugging the life out of me now.
I loved “An idiot abroad” and “The Ricky Gervais show”😂 watched it religiously. I sure miss Karl’s humor and just the way he thinks and talks about life in general. Hysterical 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
As often said, Karl was a true find. On his own that wouldn't enough, Ricky's skill of coaxing it out just right was needed. Even then it' that laugh of pure unfiltered joy which really wraps it all up.
I love Karl and the way he looks at life. Also Ricky, my God just loves all of this. He is lucky to have found Karl and was smart enough to put him is all these shows
Whenever im sad or down i just watch Karl making Ricky laugh. I want to make people that happy, i wanna be Karl. I wish i could make people that happy...
My boyfriend just introduced me to the world of Karl Pilkington about 2 weeks ago and I've been burning through anything and everything with him in it and this video is just digging me deeper into the hole and i thank you for it.
I'm not even laughing at Karl, im laughing at Ricky laughing at Karl
same
upcauseway yeah.....nah.
upcauseway what a funny laugh.
upcauseway I've got to admit I'm laughing at Ricky laughing at Karl and also I'm laughing at Karl haha 😂😂
upcauseway me to. I didn't get why they where laughing.
i keep having to adjust my volume between karls quietness and rickys laugh
Puss
hahahaha true.
Haha fr dude
Literally this 😂
Puss
Karl is accidentally the funniest person alive
He knows what he is doing
he’s gonna be down in history as a fucking legend
It's not accidental.
That would be John Clese
Daniel Johansson absolutely not

Mr Dilkington is not a "it"
He's a lord.
@@kygodragon4782 He's God
Who said that?
Karl laughing is so cute. He looks around like he needs confirmation that everyone else thinks it's funny too XDDD
And checking that they are laughing with him and not at him for a change.
I do that too
I do that lol
The video should be called Ricky creases at guy with Aspergers.
You have to admit, that was a rare moment.
Listening to Ricky Gevais laugh is a cure for depression. Pure joy.
Yes indeed!!
" 'ang on a minute. Who put YOU in GOAL?" 😂😂😂
fuckin ell chill out mate

@charly jarrett you don't, but what I'm saying is, sometimes, Karl lacks the formal education to articulate his thoughts properly
@Keynesian Economics Yeah, no.
I agree. Karl thinks outside the egg box.

I wish I knew what it was like to make one of the best comedic geniuses to laugh so hard.
Be Karl Pilkington
Except Ricky laughs at everything.
Karl Pilkington doesn't have a clue what that's like - Ricky Gervais a comedy genius, shut the fuck up. Stop watering down that word with such a stupid statement.
Modest Mouse Ricky is a comedy god
Who's Bad
You do know the difference between his hard laughters and normal laughters... right?
“It’s a pond in someone else’s gArDeN!”
Lmao that got me 😂
I think Ricky struck gold with Karl. I know he describes his mind as a goldmine, but still... He literally has one of the best jobs in the world.
Not literally
@@eescdaniel Why not literally? One of the few occasions where someone on the internet hasn’t used that word incorrectly, it’s just a bit redundant
Ricky Gervais can play the joker with that kind of laugh.
Laughs like the Joker but looks like Penguin
One thing I like about Pilkington is, He could become president of America and he'd still be Karl Pilkington from manchester. He could win the Noble prize and still he'd be Karl Pilkington from Manchester. He is who he is, Doesn't change his persona no matter who he meets. Very genuine.
robg71 I’d prefer Karl as president to the current buffoon we have!
How da fuck do u know what he changes 😂
@@kimberlyjeanne9456 for the British priminister
Karl would make a smarter president than Trump....even in his sleep.

Gold
"Who put you in goal?"
possibly the greatest line ever uttered by an Englishman insulting a dwarf.
This man has the words of a philosopher, but the unintentional delivery of an comedian
Karl Pilkington is the only man that can make Ricky Gervais hysterically laugh. It’s so adorable
*After Life out-takes entered the chat*
Any shows out takes. Ricky laughs hysterically all the time
ricky gervais is the other only man that can make ricky gervais laugh hysterically
“Cause it’s a pond, their in someone else’s garden” it’s lowkey a genius analogy but the way he’s so casually and seriously saying it while they’re dying laughing is hilarious 😂
“Hang on a minute, who put you in goal?” Always gets me 😂😂😂

He’s a little confused, but he’s got the spirit
Ricky's laugh is crazy
Honestly whoever can make Ricky Gervais laugh like this has made it in life
No doubt it's fake laughter for the cameras. I bet Ricky is one seriously miserable guy, alot of comedians are.
I don't mean to be rude im just blunt Pretty sure he’s not like that tho
@@digtoodeepgetstuckindahole6992 Lmao, are you new?
if laughter is the best medicine, then Karl could be a proper doctor, right?
aight
If it didn't work though Karl would kill so many people. His medical "knowledge" is backwards
He'd just prescribe everyone an ashtray on the belly
@@MasiwNA holds cold
Wouldn’t do any prostate exams tho 😂
As a non-native speaker I understood nothing but kept watching bc it’s very rare to see a good comedian laughs that hard 😂😂😂😂😂

It’s gotta be funny if it makes Ricky Gervais laugh 😭

I painfully envy Karl’s ability of being so naturally funny.
Real good friend vibes every time. Always fun to have a friend around who’s just a genuine pleasure to have about.
‘Who put you in goal’ has to be the top funniest things to come out his mouth 😂
There's nothing like the feeling of making someone genuinely laugh so hard and seeing them so happy.
Nobody can make me laugh like Karl Pilkington does
I adore Ricky's laugh! Makes me smile every time!!
that bit about a pond in someone else's garden still does it to me, man the pain in lafter I had lol
Who put you in goal , I nearly exploded
I nearly exploded from your comment. Legend.
Gotta turn up the volume when Karl is speaking then back down when Rick is laughing
Could listen to these guys for hours
I DO listen to these guys for hours
There's like weeks of tape on RUclips
I do, haha
One of the most lovable and contagious laughter available.
0:50 Breaking Bad Season 4 Episode ‘Crawl Space’ ending scene
you're right sounds a lot like Walter
Omgg i was thinking this before read this. Hahha
YOU GAVE THE MONEY TO TEDD?!

Even with Karl’s retirement, looking back at it these moments must have been a blast, you only live once and Karl, Ricky and Steve seem to have lots of fun
Laughing like that brings you a long life!!! Gervais is gonna live forever, lollol!!!💝
Pure gold.
Karl: *exhales*
Ricky: *DIES ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING*
Oh man! Ricky's laugh is so contagious he makes me laugh out loud too!
1:27 That is the one time Karl’s accent really came out
1:58 one of the rare moments we actually hear Karl laugh
He even laughs like a chimpanzee a bit
Ricky makes these bits genuinely funnier. His laugh is the most contagious one I’ve ever heard. A true hype man.
If somebody out there can find that interview with Warrick, Karl and Ricky where Karl goes on about Warrick showing off pictures of his family on his phone while Karl only had a picture of a pigeon, I'll finally be able to pop it on youtube again
Wasn't that on an idiot abroad season 3?
I don't think they show the bit of him showing his own phone, but it was way funnier watching them talk about it during the interview.
Are you sure it's not when Karl say's he doesn't have any pictures of Suzanne on his phone but he does have a picture of a pigeon?
It was an interview, dude, Ricky was there and they were laughing about it.
I've been searching my HD for the past 2 hours looking for it mate, I know exactly what you mean I just can't remember what it's on. I have pretty much every single video/audio clip with Karl on however big or small it is. If I find it I'll upload it for you. It's bugging the life out of me now.
Jesus idk why I laughed so hard when he was saying he'd go up to the big pond 😂
To be fair, he does laugh hysterically at everything.
I hope we all have that one person who’s so funny to us, we can laugh just be looking at them.
1:19 "This is like a nightmare now!"
LOL
The truth is, no one else can make Ricky laugh so hard. Karl’s the man.
I love when Karl laughs, cause he's letting slip that he KNOWS he's funny!
Ricky has the best laugh in show business!! 😂😂😂
He laughs at just about everything Karl says this made my day!
If you’re having a rough day or year just watch Ricky Gervais laughing. Infectious...
He'll live longer than any of us, laughing like that.
I loved “An idiot abroad” and “The Ricky Gervais show”😂 watched it religiously. I sure miss Karl’s humor and just the way he thinks and talks about life in general. Hysterical 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ricky Gervais has a really infectious laugh but during one of the laughs I imagined it coming out of the joker and now I can't stop seeing it.
He does have a Mark Hamill Joker like laugh
I've watched or listened to 1000+ hours of these guys, but never saw when Karl was asked if he "would rather be Steve or Warrick...." Thank you!
Ricky's laugh adds years to my life
My nan passed away this afternoon and haven’t smiled all day but this one made me smile
Their show An Idiot Abroad where the send Karl to all sorts of places he’d never choose to go to do things he’d never choose to do. Hilarity ensues.
BoilerBloodline miss that show
Harmless , armless😂
As often said, Karl was a true find. On his own that wouldn't enough, Ricky's skill of coaxing it out just right was needed. Even then it' that laugh of pure unfiltered joy which really wraps it all up.
One of my favourite videos.
you can laugh as much as you want but that man is spitting some real truths
I just have this image in my mind of Karl hosting some award show and Ricky just laughing in the background amongst all the celebrities...
"How do you have a kid? Pop it in RUclips."
Most underrated Karl quote ever.
I loved these two together, i like to think of them still winding each other up off camera
At 1:08, I thought he was holding a puppet
Wtf are you talking about
I love the kind of comraderie they have. It is fun to watch and even listen to.
No one makes Ricky laugh that hard. Quite an achievement.
I love Karl and the way he looks at life. Also Ricky, my God just loves all of this. He is lucky to have found Karl and was smart enough to put him is all these shows
0:42 Ricky sound like Stan Laurel here
Isaac Newton discovered gravity.
Ricky Gervais discovered Karl Pilkington.
Whenever im sad or down i just watch Karl making Ricky laugh. I want to make people that happy, i wanna be Karl. I wish i could make people that happy...
I wish they knew how much we need them right now
"Hang on!!.. who put you in goal?" 😂😂😂
“Hang on a minute who put you in goal” had me rolling 😂
What a legend. Make me cry tears of laughter
I never get tired of watching this trio!
Ricky is hilarious even when hes just laughing!
The first time I see Karl laughing!! 😂❤️
Karl Pilkington takes the term "dead pan" to another level.
He's just like every northerner I have ever met. He makes the mundane sound hilarious.
i feel like "yeh you may be a big fish in a small pond, but you are in someone elses garden" would be such a good saying with a good meaning.
The pond being in someone else's garden comment was actually quite poetic
Ricky's the one person I could literally watch laugh for days
Ricky's laugh is what makes me laugh 😂
My boyfriend just introduced me to the world of Karl Pilkington about 2 weeks ago and I've been burning through anything and everything with him in it and this video is just digging me deeper into the hole and i thank you for it.
Karl is the only person that can make ricky laugh
The 'big fish in a pond' analogy made perfect sense though. Beautiful.
I love getting to see Steve’s quiet laughing at Karl which you don’t get a sense of when listening to the xfm shows
Could watch Ricky and Karl forever
