At the start of this he thinks the only reason old people think the past was better was because they were younger then. He proceeds to tell stories of his youth and concludes with “yeah, things were better back then”. Astounding!
Same as me. You came home from school and you weren’t even allowed in the house until dinner time. You were expected to be outside in the neighborhood playing.
When I was a kid I'd come home from school, go out on my bike, come home for my tea, then go out on my bike for the rest of the night. I've no idea what the rather patronizing Ricky and Steve were up to but that's what the rest of the country were doing as well, I expect Ricky was just sat on his bed eating pies and cake.
Karl's experience with pre-school was basically mine. Parents put me in so I could develop some early social skills, 3 days in a kid hits me in the head with a giant rock and breaks my toy train. Never had to go back.
There’s one where their talking about Greggs in Salford and the, again clearly American, animators drew a beautiful little artisan bakery in a sleepy English village. That made me smile.
Lol they’re stifling Karl for having a normal childhood. Being out as a kid was the best! Even when we had videogames, we had to walk/bike to the next neighborhood to play with the kid who can afford em. Still was a great time
Why are they hating? He chose to be out and about and ride his bike and hang out with friends instead of sitting inside all day in front of the TV. That's the ideal thing to do.
Going out all the time was the norm back then especially up to around 11 years old. I’m sure Merchant wasn’t at home reading the works of Shakespeare every day
Kevin Twine of course Karl is an ordinary looking bloke. Fitter than Gervais better looking than Merchant. When Gervais laughs at Karl I feel it’s not the same as Merchant. Gervais is very fond of Karl, where as Merchant uses the if I pick on him they won’t pick on me tactic. Merchant is extremely insecure.
Karl's so right, things were much better back then in the 70s. You could go out and do what the hell you wanted. But my Mum was in the pub and my brothers off doing what the hell they liked.
yo, you could just open a new tab. it should default to google if you don't think the continual disestablishment of monopoly, the increasingly progressive stance towards social policy, the public shift towards conservation and egalitarianism, and the broadening economic growth aren't having a positive effect on the modern world, you're just ignorant
Liliputian07 fucking what mate? Progressiveness has become a cancerous mass which is actively trying to destroy any sense of normality. Progressism gets a guy arrested for a joke. And the market is compete shit after the housing crash. Jobs are ridiculously hard to find for people and arguably drug and crime rates are the same if not greater now.
heheheheheh > Progressiveness has become a cancerous mass I guess it's not that hard to believe you took that bait, but that's all it is - propaganda.

How does it feel to be numerically proven incorrect > arguably drug and crime rates are the same if not greater now Except "arguable" means "there's opposing evidence," darling, and there's not. It's a fucking shame you can't use logic to determine proper sources, but that's the state of education - we're almost at the point where people are genuinely intelligent, but instead they're only intelligent enough to think they can argue I was born in 1979. I was also raised in a slum in London and came to America when I was 19. The generation just before me told me about the ridiculous amounts of gun violence (which is 20% lower now, even *including* the uptick in mass shootings) and hard drug abuse (which is down 6% to 10%, depending on the source you consult). They didn't just show me disco and go "what an era!"

Mum tried sending me to nursery, "nah not having this" cracked me up LOL
Sam Mullett ii
And his mums like "Alright" hahaha. Karl's the 3 year old in charge here
🤣🤣🤣🤣
he could convince her it's not time for this at age 3 😂😂
Karl age 12: carefree child on a bike
Karl age 13: “I don’t like the look of this.”
Oddly relatable
There is something simultaneously heartwarming and sad about Carl’s “favorite” time in life being when he was just puttering about on his bike.
My grandma had a similar experience to Carl with the Princess Diana thing when she came home drunk one night and missed the moon landing.
Imagine drukenly watching The Apollo 8 landing and thinking it's a Sci-Fi program
@@Eightsixseven23224 Given the Apollo 8 wasn't a lunar landing that must've been sci fi
😂
The cartoon of Karl buying a cake lol 😂
miki saba you have to feel a bit of sympathy for him
Karl makes me feel so normal
"No, I'm not having this." Brilliant!
Karl’s description of being 12 is exactly the same as mine. If we weren’t at school, we were playing outside.
Same as me. You came home from school and you weren’t even allowed in the house until dinner time. You were expected to be outside in the neighborhood playing.
"Had a bike ,had me mates..............had a pet magpie"
Wtf lol why they not talking about Karl's pet magpie?
Yeah right. Magpies are usually assholes how did he befriend one.
@@roachdawgjr peanut butter maybe? 🤔
they talked about it before this
Karl Pilkington: A lad messin' about 'n such.
Mrs Dilkington just checking in to see your all loving the podcasts ❤️♿
I love this
I love you
Somebody has daddy issues now don't they?
ＦｕｎｋａｙＭｏｎｋａｙ Why are you talking to yourself. You're creeping me out.
There was a previous comment but obviously they deleted it.
I know that feel Karl
my best days were 13-15
Me eyes moved about more than I did. 🤣🤣

I’m 14 now and still spend most my time out with my mates on our bikes, I honestly have no clue why Ricky and Steve were looking down on it
@@jezzejazz9135 Because the show wouldn't be very funny if they went "Oh yeah fair enough" and moved on.
@@danielfox7119 nah but they can inquire further without taking the piss innit?
@@jezzejazz9135 Not much of a comedian if you don't take every opportunity to take the piss out of someone.
I love how wrong the American animators get Manchester
Why?
What’s wrong with spending your childhood out on your bike?
Karl is me. I just realized.
Which episode is this?
Season 1 episode 13. Freaks.
How did they miss when he said… “ I had a bike and a pet Magpie”
He talks about the magpie in an earlier episode so it’s not news to them, just another strange fact about who he is lol.
But it’s worth looking up.
I’m imagining an old robot with a blue eye talking to me constantly about how I need to catch him
Nobody understands northerners like northerners
generic carrots none of the three are northern though?
Aidan Garner Karl is
Up until about the age 10 I did the same. Merchant didn't go out as he had no friends so prob read Dickens in his bedroom all day
Last
Zack Merrezac On the contrary, nothing personal kid
i love how karl's parents are just him with different hair haha
Both of his parents look the same hmm...
@@ThierryRocksTV Pilkingtons reproduce
ase xually, they just pair up sometimes to raise the offspring
Karl's experience with pre-school was basically mine. Parents put me in so I could develop some early social skills, 3 days in a kid hits me in the head with a giant rock and breaks my toy train. Never had to go back.
"playing in the garden" *clearly American animators then animate a pit of soil outside the house* huh?
There’s one where their talking about Greggs in Salford and the, again clearly American, animators drew a beautiful little artisan bakery in a sleepy English village. That made me smile.
Steve is so confused by what a genuine childhood is. Shame really.
*dad walks into the pub and sees you*
“Oh there you are” 😂 most dad response I’ve heard all week omg 😆
'Carl your hair'll blow out one day' ahaha
Sir Digby Chicken-Caesar it’s Karl, with a K (for some reason)
Don't be stewpid mam...
K for King.
"My mum tried to take me to nersery and i said no im not havin this" 😂
2:44 Baby Karl looks so cute
Lol they’re stifling Karl for having a normal childhood. Being out as a kid was the best! Even when we had videogames, we had to walk/bike to the next neighborhood to play with the kid who can afford em. Still was a great time
Karl is my kinda relatable humor
Why are they hating? He chose to be out and about and ride his bike and hang out with friends instead of sitting inside all day in front of the TV. That's the ideal thing to do.
Miller Memestar Steve seemed jealous
*Alex Richardson* Steve is a dick. It seems like he's always the one that escalates the slight undertone of ridicule against Karl.
Godzilla because he's jealous that karl actually had a childhood and is now funnier than him and has more fans without even trying
@@Godzilla-se8in they’re only winding him up there’s no malice in it
2:42 Awww his face 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Things were better back then
that name and photo xD
0:56 Confirmed inspiration for 'Stranger Things'
3:01 and this part reminds me of Portal. and also the fact that Stephen Merchant is in Portal 2.
OMG that’s so creepy I’ve just finished watching that 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Going out all the time was the norm back then especially up to around 11 years old. I’m sure Merchant wasn’t at home reading the works of Shakespeare every day
Daniel John Yeah me too,they literally try and criticise every little thing Karl says,it is funny but sometimes goes over the top
Kevin Twine especially Merchant who can’t take criticism at all.
Daniel John Exactly,I'm not sure why they constantly poke fun at Karl's looks either,when they are hardly adonis' themselves
Kevin Twine of course Karl is an ordinary looking bloke. Fitter than Gervais better looking than Merchant. When Gervais laughs at Karl I feel it’s not the same as Merchant. Gervais is very fond of Karl, where as Merchant uses the if I pick on him they won’t pick on me tactic. Merchant is extremely insecure.
Daniel John Yeah I agree with that,Merchant doesn't like Gervais anymore either does he?
Karl's so right, things were much better back then in the 70s. You could go out and do what the hell you wanted. But my Mum was in the pub and my brothers off doing what the hell they liked.
Yeah man things were great in the 70s
Drug usage and violent crime were at an all-time universal high, sure, but... who cares, right
Liliputian07 bullshit.
