I love in one of his diary entries I think it was, when he talked about a washing machine (I think) that was broken... He called the repair people they said it'd be $XXX to repair it (a lot), but guaranteed that price without even having seen it. Karl said he felt like smashing the thing into pieces & then getting them to repair that for the same "guaranteed" price lol.

This video is many many years old - at the time of filming, he was working as a radio producer in London. He was on a decent salary but nothing amazing. This was way before his big break on Idiot Abroad etc
Have listened to all the podcasts, currently listening to the XFM shows... Just love getting home from work and listening to the three of 'em. They really light up a day :)
'Can't do that mate I'm a delivery driver, not an electrician...' I can perfectly imagine the way the driver said this and karl's subsequent reaction because of the face he makes when telling it. That was his reaction right then. 'Brilliant.'
omg i love this guy hes sooo funny even when hes not ment to be funny he just makes you laugh. amazing how he can make something so simple like a broken fridge so funny
Reminds me of being 18 years old back in 2001 - Took my VW down to the dealer and said "hey my back seatbelt doesn't unwind - can you just tell me if it's fixable, or if it needs to be replaced?"...the guy says "sure!"...reaches in, gives it a tug, and says "the (blah blah) is broken, you need a new one". Ok, thanks sir!!! No problem, he says, I can ring you up at the desk here - $40. For what, the new part??? No that's the labor, he says. My mind was blown.
This is genius karl. I also have a fridge and this could happen to me it makes me feel a little better about myself that a celebrity is boring and ordinary like me
I’m with Karl. I called out someone about my washing machine. He also cost me £80 to tell me my washing machine was broke. That’s what I called you for…
This man can seriously do no wrong in my eyes. I saw the title of the video, and then the description: Karl Pilkington discusses his annoyance with his broken fridge. and I thought "fuck yes."
I love just watching his slack-jawed face :) Regardless of what's being said in these comments, we LOVE you guys over here in the U.S. Thank you for The Office, Extras, Karl...and the english language :)
This would have been years ago when the rates were different for household appliances but yeah I agree my fridge freezer I got a year ago was like £350 with delivery included and taking the old one away lol Karl got took to the cleaners for sure
430 quid for a fucking fridge? (Plus the 80 call-out fee) I'm 38 yrs old and have been pulling fridges off the side of the road for free my whole life. I wouldn't dream of buying a new fridge.
@toxic2k7 He definitly is clever, that's the problem I have in my life too, I come accross as stupid but I'm opening people's minds to a different way of thinking. You can think too much and go full circle and just speak in simple terms, that's how I am sometimes. Life's not a competition at the biggest words to be honest either :)
I can totally believe that the fridge cost that much. He has a fitted kitchen, and they're made so only a very select few models will fit perfectly into the spaces. The same thing happened with my parents dishwasher. It was half the size but twice the price of a normal full-sized one that wouldn't have fit in there. These companies know you have no choice but to buy these few select models so they have you by the balls.
@icecreamvanman22 Hahaha! Oh my God, same. I listen to the podcasts on loop at night but every time I'm about to slip fully into sleep, Ricky's effing laugh jolts me out of my slumber haha!
I just want to say...has nobody else noticed (in the U.K, not sure about anywhere else) that Karl has done a voice over for the new PSP advert? two dust mites (drawn) are on the screen talking about carpet at the end of the advert Karl says (voice over) "PSP, It's like carpet...for outside"
@icecreamvanman22 YES there have been so many times (especially in season 1) where I turn it up to hear Karl, walk away and Ricky's shrill laugh explodes out of the speakers!

Every worker that comes to Karl’s flat is just coming around “having a laugh” 😂😂
Ahaha just messing with him every call out😂 “
Ooohhh mate that’s gunna be an extra £40 if you want it facing west that’s just policy”😂😂😂
He wasn't having a laugh. He had it down on his little dockit. Do the kitchen

Is it not also for you?
@@AA-hg5fk Thanks for asking. It was 9 years ago when I commented and still is 👍🏻
@@jackmitchell7321 same here mate, sick of it.
Same here
Ain't it just.
I can’t get enough of these. Is there a video of Karl’s seemingly eternal struggle with his boiler?
I’m pretty sure he never got a new boiler in that flat. He had to get a new house (which he eventually got) to get one
@@FutureAbe they wouldn’t touch it
@@FutureAbe Probably more cost effective for him in the long run.😄

I'm charging you £80 for reading this comment.
I love the rocking motion of the floating milk.
I could imagine karl staring at that, in fascination 😂
I can’t believe this video is 17 years old
Karl’s tiles looks like a packet of revels
Karl's tiling from the pod-cast does indeed look like a "proper job", I'm impressed.
He takes his time and does it properly!
You can hear Suzanne having a shower.........
spacebartabenter were you madturbating?
slugs......SLUGS
The jacket on the door at 3:47, I wonder if its the one he bought Suzanne as an apology for saying she looked like Dave Hill from Slade.
Yoooo
it’s not. that one was red :)
I can't get over the 17 years part
Karl is one of the funniest little thing alive
I can't look at his face without cracking up.....he looks so friggin upset...disturbed, almost....lol, poor karl
"If it gets dark, just turn on the light" quote of the day
This video is many many years old - at the time of filming, he was working as a radio producer in London. He was on a decent salary but nothing amazing. This was way before his big break on Idiot Abroad etc
He had Mondays off though tbf
The Karl experience is so much more magical when you see the words coming out of his gormless face.
he's my hero.
i've seen every video and listened to all his radio shows, sad but ace ;)
What did you think of sick of it?
Have listened to all the podcasts, currently listening to the XFM shows... Just love getting home from work and listening to the three of 'em. They really light up a day :)
Still going?
Wow. I've been a fan of Karl for over a decade and I've never seen this. There's so much extra content that keeps popping up in my suggestions.
This would make an awesome vlog series these days
'Can't do that mate I'm a delivery driver, not an electrician...'
I can perfectly imagine the way the driver said this and karl's subsequent reaction because of the face he makes when telling it. That was his reaction right then. 'Brilliant.'
Karl is so brilliant when he’s annoyed. 😂
"...havin a laugh"
I'm sick of it!
I have no words for Karl.. so I'll use Ricky's.. "He is my favourite thing in the world" Pure genius.
I love the way this is shot, it has a very distinct style seen in the other videos as well.
he is ACTUALLY like that.
i have both his books and every podcast, there is no way that he could be putting it on
Take a shot every time he says 'aight.
He sends me to sleep every night, but that's often destroyed by Ricky's horribly raucous laughter.
notice how he always says 'right' at the end of most of he sentences when hes explaining stuff...............gotta love karl what a legend...
"...and that"
430 for a new fridge that small...thats a joke!
comedy gold dont talk shit
Britney
And thats POUNDS!! Thats around $600!! You can get an amazing 6ft fridge for that!!
Tbf this was recorded in 2006
Built in fridges are usually more expensive. Stand alone fridges are a lot cheaper.
@@fansovertheworld834 that makes it worse though, inflation and that
omg i love this guy hes sooo funny even when hes not ment to be funny he just makes you laugh. amazing how he can make something so simple like a broken fridge so funny
The random camera pans wit numbers as he continues to talk lmaoooo
he is a living alan bennett character
"there's a crossword in the paper" 😁 why do you need entire book lol
430 for a tiny fridge like that , shit we get huge 2 door ones in Australia for around 500 quid ? what you've got is what we call a bar fridge LOL
yvonneost12 I was thinking the exact same thing. Plus 430 pounds is about 800 in our currency. Thats insane for a bar fridge.
Mate British houses are tiny
£480 for a fridge that size?!
mattfox14 nice profile pic
I wouldn’t pay £480 for a huge, American-style fridge.
@@Station9.75 Pretty sure that's how much our huge American-style fridge was. With a water and ice dispenser.
He actually said 430. Listen guys.
@@RobBenjamin557 Oh that's okay then bargain!
Karl just might be the sanest man on planet earth.
0:37 the hurt, the suffering, the indignation, all of these emotions are captured in that "right?"
The tiles are so Karl. I don't know why, but they suit his personality. Sort of bright and interesting.
first rule of dealing with any trade, get a quote ! not an estimate,and i would have thrown the £80 bandit down the stairs.
Haha as a huge fan so happy to find this little gem.
I'd love to see suzanne! Karl is brilliant! What a find! I listen to the podcasts everynight when I go to sleep!
great video mate!!!
The "bolier" at the end just killed me.
Here here a new fridge and boiler for carl Yah hit up ricky, you provide so much of his material . I really love the cartoons.
Utter brilliance.
It's the milk in a bowl of water that really completes this.

I would never expect any delivery driver to wire anything in, not sure Karl thought this might be the case .
"Havin' a laugh."
Only person in existence who can make an interesting video about his fridge
Best video ever.
Everything always goes wrong for Karl and Ricky finds it hilarious loool 😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣
Exactly how I imagined Karl's kitchen to look like! Tiles and all 🤣
I love Karl! I could listen to him all day!!!! Love him.
Same as
Seeing 15 years ago on a YT video is mad
Haha you must be new here!
Seeing 14 years ago on a RUclips video is just fucking weird.
The video was actually found hidden on Ricky Gervais's website. It was never posted. It's brand new though.
I can't believe you wrote this 14 years ago. Time flies on youtube. I remember when the oldest comments were 9 years lol
