If you want to consider how old the ancient Egyptians are consider this: the ancient Egyptians were as old to the ancient Greeks as the ancient greeks are to us.
Yup and apparently we're closer to the time of Cleopatra than she was to when the pyramids of Giza were constructed. It's insane how ancient their civilisation is!
@@damiairis4344 Mexicans do this. I used to work in a company in New York and we had to have a meeting about how when taking a shit we should NOT wipe our asses and put the shit-stained TP in the GARBAGE CAN. Yeah, we had a meeting about this issue - and we all knew who they were addressing.
I love all these guys. It’s hilarious to me that Karl is generally seen as inept, yet he’s been all around the world and has become a seasoned explorer. Watching him explain to Warwick that the rabbit head “wasn’t that bad” illustrates his growth as a traveler 🤣
Wayne Thompson thats exactly what you would do. If you have shit you wash it down, and if you want it to smell nice then use soap. Water removes all shit in both ur ass and ur hand
@@MNMNMNMNMNMNMNMNMNMNMNMNMNMN you legit get three squares in your 24 ration. you poke your finger through the first square to clean your ass and use the rest to clean your finger.
@@KilljoyGatecrash How is that any different from just wiping your ass, though? If you have enough to clean your finger, and if one square is enough to wipe your ass, why not just wipe with the paper Something has to not be communicating Edit: Also wait wtf, three squares of toilet paper for a whole shit? That's insane, three squares is hardly enough to blow your nose if you need to
Either Karl's brother's been winding him up or he's misunderstood. My dad was in the army and the idea is to minimize the amount you use by putting one or two sheets over your finger, not push them through the paper so you're wiping your arse with your bare finger lmao
Nah man he got it almost right you don't push your fingers through the paper you fold it in half and rip a small semi circle of paper out the middle leaving a finger size circle in the middle of the paper when you unfold it you keep that Little circle of paper to clean under your fingernails after you slide the paper off . First thing they taught me in special forces . you then say to your mate either smell my finger or I got a good joke pull my finger .. now smell your hand ..then you run off laughing . for real .I thought everyone knew this by now 😁
The more of these I watch, the more I realize that Karl is actually just a normal, down-to-earth guy just trying to get by and the only reason Ricky thinks he's so hilarious is because of how much of an eccentric weirdo he is.
I served in the Norwegian army a few years ago, and one of the sergeants pranked us with that toilet paper "survival technique". Had no idea it was a common thing.
I agree that visiting Egypt is rubbish. Constantly getting hassled by people trying to sell you junk, it's noisy and filthy and very unsafe for women to visit on their own.
I've heard of that army toilet technique too - from a programme years ago. I remember them saying they tear off a corner and keep that to one side - to clean under your nail....
@@mat5473 yeah. I heard that as a kid and thought it was a real thing. Always thought those poor soldiers were stuck out in no man's land wiping ass with their finger. Was much relived when finding the truth.
I struggle w the idea that Karl is probably a real comedic genius. Stays in character. Almost like an Andy Kaufman ( played by Jim Carey in man in the moon). His timing is more on point than most seasoned comedians. Having been raised in UK he is almost a charactktur of many people and English isms and nuances. And if it's just him as him. He maybe the most natural comedian of all time. Bravo
4:22 my Grandpa said it a lil differently. He said you take the 1 piece of toilet paper, fold it into a square, rip off the corner of the inner fold, BUT SAVE IT!, insert finger through hole of the toilet paper, wipe,and use the square you tore off to dig out any poop under your fingernail!
I was in the army cadets as a kid. They tried to sell us this poke a hole method to us. I laughed as I had a feeling it was a wind up for newbs. They said, fold the paper into quarters, rip of the central corner so it leaves a hole, wipe with your fingers and then clean your fingers with the paper. Afterwards, and this is why I knew it was a wind up, they said to use the little you had ripped of to clean under your nails!!!!! Lol! Two to three actually did it and it turned out that out on exercise, a few seniors had toilet paper and soap, I watched them laughing at the newbs. I laughed too but was also a bit horrified. We between 12 and 16 years old! Fuckers!
I’ve heard about it from vets. The army is a bit tight on bog paper and it’s some kind of example of being frugal that they all have to learn. Start them on saving bum wad, they’ll learn to save food, water and ammo.
During a TP shortage normal people just sacrifice a sock. That's why you never pick up a random sock lying around in a forest and also why you have to be careful where you step until you are at least 10 yards from the sock.
i'd prefer the hose over my hand. lol especially if i had shit on them. lol and if there were no soap around, i'd go dig my hands in mud to get a fresher scent and wipe the mud off on the grass. screw it, find some leaves and do it behind a tree. stay in the woods. stay green. stay safe.
i only use 5 sheets cause your supposed to use one sheet at a time and surprisingly only 3 of them is needed the other 2 is just spares karl probably single handedly causes deforestation
The point Karl made about "building it up too much" is very true. When people take pictures of "Big Ben" they usually just take pictures of that short clock tower outside of Big Ben. In fact Big Ben is the large bell inside of the clock tower. However every picture taken there lies about the height of the clock tower. Before I went to London I thought the Tower would be taller than the Statue of Liberty or the Empire State Building. The clock tower is no taller than a typical shopping mall in America....
people typically ask for napkins at restaurants in these countries with "hole-in-the-ground" toilets because of the lack of toilet paper, which is kind of a social norm but maybe not Egypt I wouldn't know
I lived on the streets of Europe for 5/6 months when I was 21/22 (1993). I went over with £20. I know what Karl means having to make toilet paper last. If you have a packet of tissues, 1 tissue can have up to 5 layers of paper. I used to try and peel each layer off. The worse was the hole in the floor, I needed the seat to help with the pressure.
I so hate when u are in some 3rd world country and in toilet they give you only like 4 strips of paper and they ask money for toilet thats like cleaned once a decade ...
Stephen merchant has such a good laugh when he really goes for it
I agree, I always replay his laugh, its rare haha

That’s a strange thing to say

I spent like 10 minutes reading your original comment and contemplating life lol
I spent two years in Egypt and I can confirm you DO NOT use public restrooms unless its at a mall or well known place like McDonalds. Just dont.
reason being?

"Died from a dirty ass" lmao!!
tsk tsk
Thats no joke. Clean your butt properly.
What I like to do boys. Is I like to smear shit on my face, then use the one sheet of toilet paper to wash my face off!

These recordings were before he went around the world
"Ding dong" God, I love Steve.
This was amazing. The cartoon makes it so much better.
I've watched this video maybe a thousand times and it always makes me laugh. Ricky's reactions are priceless.
The survival technique still has me in tears of laughter every time I hear it.
2:52-3:05 I actually think Karl is bang on here! Totally agree with his point 😂
Wayne Thompson If you get shit on your arm, you don't just wipe it off, do you?
mini dwarfdude No but I wouldn't just wet it either!
Wayne Thompson So you'd put soap on it too? Then do that with your ass
Wayne Thompson
thats exactly what you would do.
If you have shit you wash it down, and if you want it to smell nice then use soap.
Water removes all shit in both ur ass and ur hand
He should have used the water to clean and then the little toilet paper to wipe up excess water and shit. Boom!
The "survival technique" bit is hilarious.
Lol and the car analogy is so silly, coz it's not like you wash a car with a dry sponge either 😅
Ricky's "what?" at 4:07 had me in stitches.
Karl's right Unfortunately, that is an actual thing.
Horse shit

I would kill to spend a whole week traveling with Karl

3 squares, one up, one down and one to polish.

I’m on the toilet watching this.
So am i

Is it weird I'm watching this on the toilet???
'Fraid not
No it’s healthy
Same haha
Lol so am I
Same ahah
Human comedy at its finest
The last bit was so funny
I think the technique Karl was thinking of is to drape the sheet over your finger, then pull it inside out to use the other side
Something Joseph Joestar and Karl Pilkington can agree on
I sleep with these fellas
4:42 then you can wipe your, wipe your...arse with that lol

Great advice from soldiers to their younger brothers.
"Go in their like Kenny Everett, with two big hands" Like those you see in American football crowds with a huge finger.

XD I've been to Egypt and it's true all true mostly.
Same with China XD
"Died of a dirty arse"
During a TP shortage normal people just sacrifice a sock. That's why you never pick up a random sock lying around in a forest and also why you have to be careful where you step until you are at least 10 yards from the sock.
In this situation I use my underwear then do a flush and block the toilet!
that toilet "technique" is actually a real thing and it does work
No...no it does not
No it doesnt work
True army ass wiping technique, Its one finger though and the bit you tear off too make the whole, you fold and use it to wipe under your nail.
lol imma year late
karl is funny
