Parents are old and have wisdom. Wisdom is intelligence multiplied by experience, so even if your dad is no more intelligent than you are and has an intelligence of 1 if he has 3 experience then his wisdom will also be 3 and that has to be useful.
The people who listen to the XFM series know that when Karl first started talking, Ricky and Steve were both really interested by him, but the heads of the radio station told them "don't let Karl talk" because they thought his stupidity would ruin the show. Up until he started talking, Karl was just a guy who pressed the buttons. But Ricky went against the orders of the station and let Karl speak because he knew Karl's rambling was funny, and Karl quickly became the star of the show.
I'm with Karl on this one. When the furniture shop advertises their beds on the shop floor, then they shouldn't advertise the beds with mattresses when the mattresses have nothing to do with the purchase.
They put mattress on the beds so you can see what the bed frame looks like with a mattress on top. If they didn't, you would just be showing people a bunch of empty frames and it wouldn't look appealing.
Where I live we just put all our unwanted stuff in the street and the council just come and collect it, usually it's gone before they come. I've found computers in working order, CRT monitors, TVs etc BUT never touch any type of furniture people chuck furniture out because often it's full of BED BUGS.
Calling someone a fuck-wit is huge in the UK, it means having no wit or being stupid, similar to how we say "fuck-all" to mean nothing, at some point fuck must have been synonymous with zero or nothing here in the UK, because it's used a lot to mean no or nothing. "Did you get that promotion you hoped for?" "Did I fuck!" (no) "Did you fuck that girl last night?" "Did I fuck!" (again, no)
I do agree with Karl. I can understand that shops sell mattresses separately because sometimes people only need a new mattress but if someone is buying a bed frame, surely the shop assistant would ask the person whether they had a mattress or not. Like Karl said, it isn't a bed without a mattress!
The recycling center near me doesn't do much recycling, it's more of just an acceptable place to leave or remove unused items. Somewhere to take a TV or a bed so you aren't just cluttering your street but also a place that folks with no cash can pick up free furniture, I know a guy who collects the TV's that get left in the electronics shed and tries to fix them to sell on, if he can't he just brings them back to the place.
Karl actually has a good point. Why do they have the different beds on display, so you can try them out, if the matress isn't "part of the deal"? Let's face it, if you buy a bed the main selling point of it is the matress.
This reminds me of when I bought my stove/oven. The wire that goes from the unit itself to the wall, you have to buy seperately from the delivery man. :P
I've got to say that I fully agree with Karl that a mattress is a piece of furniture. The OED defines furniture as 'The movable articles that are used to make a room or building suitable for living or working in'. A mattress would definitely constitute furniture by that definition.
hes right, if something is wrong it should be difficult to do it, if u dont want ppl throwing stuff on the street then make sure they have an easy and reachable alternative
are not mattresses usually very ridgid and usually attached to a wooden frame and then you put a thinner mattress ontop of it? I am not an expert but I have never seen one not like the one I described.
Agreed. It is like Curb Your Enthusiasm without the underlying sanity/insanity issue. Karl is just supposed to be stupid, but occasionally his stories don't sound all that unreasonable (like this one).
i love the show i think the only annoying bit is i can tell Ricky understands Karls points or at least the basic gist of what hes sayin, but will jump on the opportunity to give him shit for improperly explaining it instead of just helping him with his wording, not everyones blessed with higher education, actually karls pretty fuckin smart for having a daft vernacular
Now what might the video have with poverty or government? Well, the US local governments, now under budget stress, are charging more and more to remove items from private homes or rentals. And yes, must get it to the curb or the recycling stations. It's a big project for anyone, and requires more than an individual person. Cities now on recyclables (basic) and recyclables (advanced) which involve medications, lead, electronics, paints, and other items to be removed from the "recyclables" and "general landfills". Cities itself have management and workers, and have been asked to have their own designated "health and human services" coordinator (usually non-profit, involves transportation). And then, there is composting, and so forth. Julie Ann Racino 2016
Dewey Ricky Gervais the person is a fucking asshole who cheers when someone gets killed by wildlife because he is so fucked up by preservation. I think killing togets and elephants is just evil too but I think anyone who makes a joyful Twitter post about it and then has his legion of just-as-fucked-up animal rightists reply with cheers, happiness and “he deserved it”s (thousands and thousands of people) is a piece of shit human.
In Australia everyone dumps everything out the front of there house and anyone can take it for free anytime, mostly in close communities though. Heaps of old bikes and couches for the poorer family's
In the UK you cannot take anything that isn't yours without permission, if someone leaves a bike next to a bin and you remove it without the consent of the current owner - even if it is being discarded - you've committed a crime. They had to enact that law because Pikeys and gypsies couldn't distinguish between things left next to a bin or inside it with the actual bin itself and all the other contents of your garden such as ornaments, furniture, plants and pets. For the same reason you are not allowed to leave items next to your bin because it is might attract said invasive species.
All the humor in these things comes from Karl. The other two guys just toss insults and laugh at him, and occasionally they get him going on a topic of conversation.
Yup. People purchase beds so infrequently, it's easy for them to forget about the mattress. If you worked in a furniture store you'd see this situation EVERY DAY... any halfway-decent salesperson would know to bring the subject up. Karl's stupidity is that he thinks a bedframe should automatically come with a mattress, when the problem is that the salesperson should have asked him if he needed one. I hope Suzanne made him launder the sheets after they'd been on that nasty mattress...
"Back then, I wasn't as wise as I am now."
*Instantly rolling on the floor*
I nearly fell off my bed😂😂
Brainstormer623
What was he?
I love how karl's solution to every problem is "called me dad up"
Peter Williams It's interesting that his dad has to teach him how to do everything but never seemed to have done so while actually raising him
Peter Williams I still call my dad whenever I'm in a similar situation
I call me mum. lol
Parents are old and have wisdom. Wisdom is intelligence multiplied by experience, so even if your dad is no more intelligent than you are and has an intelligence of 1 if he has 3 experience then his wisdom will also be 3 and that has to be useful.
I don’t even know mine he’s a cu** tho
"I ordered the bed"
"Yeah?"
"It turned up"
"Oh well done"
"It turned up"
Vernatrozz oh well done ✅
Fucking hell that's a victory! 😂😂

I could listen to Karl all day.
"A bed isnt a bed without a matress, its a climbing frame" LMAO
It's true though
J u 7jhhmk
Dan Hague Yes lad oldham fan here aswell born n bred
lol... it's so true. I thought the same when shopping for my first bed.

This might be the greatest Ricky laugh ever, ‘I wasn’t as wise as I am now’ 🤣🤣🤣
Funniest shit ever😂🤣
"trousers are furniture if you pop em up against a wall..." 🤣 03:17
I'm with Karl on this one. When the furniture shop advertises their beds on the shop floor, then they shouldn't advertise the beds with mattresses when the mattresses have nothing to do with the purchase.
John C or they could at least quote you the price for both the bed and the mattress
Watched idiot abroad,u rly miss someone who can call out karls bullshit every now and then.
They put mattress on the beds so you can see what the bed frame looks like with a mattress on top. If they didn't, you would just be showing people a bunch of empty frames and it wouldn't look appealing.
You'd have to be a bit special to not know that though. Quite a bit special.
Ricky's laugh after snot in a jar is just infectious 🤣🤣
Snot in a jar gets me every time
Karl is like a British Charlie Brown so depressing yet funny
OMG he is!!
Bryson Murray Yeah, only funnier.
ancilodon Charlie Brown isn’t comedy
Hugh Janes - A Let's Poop Channel I was trying to be gentle.
Charlie Brown had cancer.....who's the funny guy now!
3:56 I almost peed myself bc I was laughing so hard
"Now back then I wasn't as wise as I am now"
xD
this is the funniest 9 minutes of the podcasts I was in tears
One of my all time favourite snippets of Karl's life :)
''Ung up,annoyed''
Ricky's laugh 😂😂
"Oh didn't think of this. So I called my dad up" 😂😂😂
Snot in the jar gets me rolling on the floor every time 🤣 Gotta love British humor
"Depends how big they are." I absolutely love Karl's answers. He's got a good one for everything.
Karl's face at 4:03. LOL!
I love Karl's "it's madness" hand wave for some reason...

CouchPotato343 Well..
And maybe a hooker. Or two. Or five if you're in a _really_ bad part of town.
But if you see a rubber dinghy be sure to call Alf though. His back is in agony and he's still terrified of flooding
Must look real nice and tidy where you live.....
Could listen to these for hours absolutely hilarious. KP is a one off just naturally funny and ppl think Ricky and Steve created him as a character 😂
"Back then I wasn't as wise as I am now..."
xD
IF YOU CAN'T CALL A MATTRESS FURNITURE THEN I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'D CALL IT
"Spoongy bit?"
While I wouldn't be sure (and don't really care either way), I think an ornament or a decoration would be more accurate.
an ornament or a decoration is like fruit bowl or a statue or something dude, not a mattress. you literally but mattresses from the furniture store.
'Bedding'.
hahaha did this dude say he wouldn't call a mattress a piece of furniture but he would call a mattress a decoration
3:46 'Back then I wasn't as wise as I am now'
"Dad, it's your fuck-wit son again."
Uncle Alf sounds like a legend!! Everyone should have an uncle Alf :)
"Dad, it's your fuck-wit son again!"
"So i called my dad up"
"Dad it's your fuckwit son again"
😂😂😂😂
I am so with him on furniture collections, they are an absolute mare. One to Karl yet again :P
Steve covering his eyes when Karl said he wasn’t as wise as he is now. Don’t know why that that really made me laugh.
"Fuck-Wit" is one of the greatest things I've ever heard.
Calling someone a fuck-wit is huge in the UK, it means having no wit or being stupid, similar to how we say "fuck-all" to mean nothing, at some point fuck must have been synonymous with zero or nothing here in the UK, because it's used a lot to mean no or nothing.
"Did you get that promotion you hoped for?"
"Did I fuck!" (no)
"Did you fuck that girl last night?"
"Did I fuck!" (again, no)
I’ve heard that since I was old enough to understand it. It’s a big saying on the east cost of Canada. But then, we’re all British and Irish too.
@@DaniHMcV same here in Aus

I'm just amazed to no end by how Karl's life works.
at 3:45 when Karl says "now back then I wasn't as wise as I am now", Karl cracks up right before Ricky and Steve do xD
I LOVE AND ADORE KARL PILKINGTON!!!
This video just kills me, easily the best KP moment for me.
3:56 over and over
+ᏰᏗşιℓ The fucking funniest!
Steve's laugh throughout this is the funniest part
"We bought a sofa, we got a table"
like all great minds karl pilkington is ahead of his time.
I agree with Karl about the mattress thing :') it's like selling a sofa without the big cushions
I don't think calling a mattress furniture in that context is that strange.
they're furniture if you pop 'em up against a wall!
Steve: "Sorry he's driving around a mattress in his van. What is he a fucking serial killer":]
I worked for a recycling center before. Almost everything gets chucked into the landfill anyway
The recycling center near me doesn't do much recycling, it's more of just an acceptable place to leave or remove unused items.

“I’m not a bed man I go to the bed man to get bed advice”
The people who disliked this video were snot in a jar.
This reminds me of when I bought my stove/oven. The wire that goes from the unit itself to the wall, you have to buy seperately from the delivery man. :P
the way karl describes it, the seller probably didnt know he wanted a full bed combo
Clive Warren.
2:07 LMFAO
"what was he, a snot in a jar?" hahaha :)
Amazing clip!
These podcasts would be way more listenable if Ricky toned his witch's cackle down a few turns.
karl is right a bed without the mattress is just a bed frame
axelskull he said climbing frame.
"Back then I wasn't as wise as I am now."
I've got to say that I fully agree with Karl that a mattress is a piece of furniture. The OED defines furniture as 'The movable articles that are used to make a room or building suitable for living or working in'. A mattress would definitely constitute furniture by that definition.
I mean he’s not wrong , it had to come up at the store
There's always a queue at the tip
I think you've summed him up perfectly.
"Back then I wasn't as wise as I am now" Genius!
I just realized. Is that a chinese homeless person?
Was gonna comment thisxD
Arturo Millán he was only about 12
Arggh I didn't think of this!
I'm with you there too. It's like advertising a hamburger but then you only get the bun, the condiment, lettuce, tomato, cheese, etc but no meat.
I love Ricky's cackle
hes right, if something is wrong it should be difficult to do it, if u dont want ppl throwing stuff on the street then make sure they have an easy and reachable alternative
What kind of accent does Karl have? I love it...it's part of what makes his stories so great.
Some of the best moments on this show is when Karl is annoyed.
are not mattresses usually very ridgid and usually attached to a wooden frame and then you put a thinner mattress ontop of it? I am not an expert but I have never seen one not like the one I described.

funny thing is, theres just a blue sofa thats been dumped outside some garages near my flat
There's always a fucking queue at Stretford tip! Jams up the whole Road nearby all the way up to the motorway!
Snot in a jar.
More of these I listen too the more I see Ricky and Steve as bullies, and Karl has some valid points but just gets picked on.
they're doing it on purpose. That's where the comedy comes from.
@@Station9.75. Yeah they helped him a lot to
You're about 2 decades too late with your worry pal.
He's from Manchester (North West). Ricky's from Reading (Just north of London) and Steve's from Bristol (West Country)
The performer "Ricky Gervais" is much different that the person "Ricky Gervais."
Dewey Ricky Gervais the person is a fucking asshole who cheers when someone gets killed by wildlife because he is so fucked up by preservation.

What episode is this ?

He didn't notice the mattress hahaahah
3:08 all furniture is functional

That is his whole "schtick", yes. (:
bit of a longshot, but does anyone know what episode this is from?

"Alf's got one in the back of a dirty old fucking van."
Why didn't he just return it to Alf?
DisturbedAidan2 - because Alf isn't Argos.
Karl Pinkleton is actually pretty smart compared to the other two baffoons.
Funny thing is when you go to a furniture store *gasp* there are beds there. So Karl's right.
