    I am very new to your chanel and I must say I just like your way of reacting. Its not the 'over'reaction you see so often, you just stay the person you are while reacting. I love it. Please keep up reacting. I enjoyed this episode. Felt like I was genuinely watching this with a mate and not with a foreign person.

    I'm so, so, SO glad that you've discovered Karl Pilkington - he's a national treasure! Definitely, without a doubt, one of my most favourite people.
    I, for one, would love to see you react to the rest of this series. On top of that, I'd love to see you react to the second and third series of 'An Idiot Abroad' and, once you've done those, both series of 'The Moaning of Life'. I can NEVER get enough of Karl. :D

    Thing is I don't believe Karl is an idiot, far from it - he's different from the majority but in a really lovely unaffected and natural way. He's clear on his likes and dislikes, loves his home comforts and he thinks a great deal. There's a song, which I believe Paul McCartney wrote, called Fool on the Hill; everyone thought he was an idiot (or a fool), but whilst they were going in circles living their lives he, the fool on the hill, was watching the people, watching the sun go down. Karl's a natural and he's very funny, though he doesn't set out to be funny.

    Enjoyed watching your reaction! Seems like forever ago but at a place I used to work (in the US) we had an “Idiot Abroad Club” and once a week a bunch of us would meet up in the IT room at lunch to watch an episode of the show. We’d all bring a dish to share or order lunch in. Idk where the IT guy got the British version of the show, but we’d watch it on the projector with the lights off. We would laugh so loud a couple of times we got in trouble. Looked forward to those days as it was a terrible place to work.

I’ve always loved Karl, Ricky and Steve together and watching your reactions as an American to a British comedian was hilarious. I would love to see your reactions to more similar shows Eg Fawlty Towers (with John Cleese from Monty Python). I’m from Australia and maybe you could do some “An American reacts” videos to Australian situations (although we are descended from the British we are pretty much different in most ways.

    That looked like a very brittle metal, the longer the piece, the easier it breaks to pieces, under its own weight. It will hurt to get hit over the head with it but you can surely train to withstand it. It would be a lot more painful to break that short piece Karl was trying to.

    Another funny show to watch from BBC is called CUNK ON BRITAIN. You will get to learn so much about British history, but the presenter is a character called Philomena Cunk (played by the amazing Diane Morgan) who is a bit dumb, in a very dry, British way. And all the historians she interviews are in on it. Kind of like a female Ali G. Very silly but informative!! :p

    "An Idiot Abroad", great television, I watched all three series when it was on free-to-air in Australia. Loved seeing your reactions, and you non-reactions when some great lines went way over your head. As for China, this is nothing like the China I experienced, I've been there twice. China is so worth visiting: see China, see the future and be afraid, be very, very afraid. China is amazing, my eyes were everywhere, it looks familiar but is filled with contradictions. Check out the toilets everywhere you go and be sure to have a pocket full of tissues; don't want to get caught short.
    Amazing modern cities, ask lots of questions, find out how society is managed and regulated. Ride their high speed trains and have your socks blown off, visit all the tourist hot spots and see how they've embraced capitalism. Go to live performances in theatres and be amazed, see how long it takes for you to tire of authentic Chinese cuisine. Learn how social credit works and imagine life in that reality. Go to China, go soon, assume nothing and check everything.
