The best thing about Karl is that he says things that sound dumb, but you can follow a train of logic to see how he got to his conclusion. (Most of the time lol)
This podcast actually helped me through a really depressing stage in my life 9/12 yrs ago. So honest and genuine. Funniest shit ever. Love to see it getting attention. Blessings from Toronto brother.👊🏾
This reaction is helping me through a really depressing stage in my life only a day after a near suicide. I woke up miserable today and this is the first video I've seen and I feel happy after it. I may not be able to laugh much anymore but seeing others laugh makes me happy.
I was listening to this in bed the other night at 11pm when Karl said ‘I’ve always wanted to kick a duck up the arse’ I pissed myself laughing and woke the wife and the kids up. They thought I was having a seizure 😂😂😂😂. I had to stop listening to it cause it was actually too funny 😂 I’
Karl is our National Treasure - he's the gift that gives on gifting!😂 His 'logic', his thought patterns is some sort of inverted GENIUS - hilariously priceless! Thank you Ricky for introducing Karl to us all! KARL FOR PRIME MINISTER!🤣 Lovin' your reactions to the wonder that is Karl Pilkington!👏👏👏
Karl is so funny and at times says things that are deep.... When he went to Petra and Ricky stuck him in a cave to sleep opposite, Karl said 'Id rather be in a cave looking at a Wonder (Petra) than in a Wonder looking at a cave'... Deep and funny!!
Please don't. I like him as he is. An innocent (I'm pushing the argument a bit far now)American who's as baffled about our society as we are about his. Anyway if needed I'd recommend that Eclectic is allowed to become an Anglophile and suffer like the rest of us here! :-)
As a British man, seeing another man buckling, laughing and enjoying something just made me laugh immediately. Dat stuff's covid. EDIT : Now crying because I'm laughing too hard, you bugger
Have to say, this is one of the best reaction shows I've ever watched. I love that you get the British humour. We're miserable, like to moan and take the piss put of each other and ourselves.
Haha I've been watching your reactions for a while, and I've just realised that it's actually your amazing insight and understanding of the subtleties of British comedy (which is unusual for American reactors); and also your laugh and your genuine amusment that makes me keep clicking on your videos. Thanks for the reaction x
You have watched so much British stuff, that you understand our humour. We (British are miserable, very sarcastic and love to take the piss out of each other) can call you a 'mate'.
As a Brit living in the USA thanks for all your positive reactions to Brit comedy and chocolate etc. Loving America and the great people that live here.
Hey Buddy, Im from the UK myself, and I love all of your reactions, especially the comedy ones, I suffer with anxiety and depression and just recently your reactions and your genuine laughter are the only things putting a smile on my face, thank you so much, keep them coming :)
I've watched every episode of the post cast and many RUclips reactions to Karl and Ricky but this man just gets everything their saying and it natural and pure!!! Lol good work sir! More to come!
I still remember watching this stuff and having my mind blown out of my skull from trying to understand how Karl thinks. There is an episode where he talks about having gone to the beach with a mate, and that they laid out their towels and bags on the only in the spot with any trash on the entire beach. When asked why the hell they set up camp there he responds with something like: "That's how you know it's the best spot innit? That's where there's been people.". I was rolling on the floor gasping for air when he said that.
I think that was intentional, actually. Due to the number of 'cave man' references that have been used over the years. I think Ricky had Karl as an extra on the show Extras, where he got to be a caveman.
Dude... your reactions are so on point... I'm exactly the same when I watch anything with Karl... I have to keep pausing it so I can recover from laughing at him so hard. The ones where Ricky, Steve and Karl are together and Ricky and Steve are prodding Karl and cracking-up at his crazy-ass answers to the questions, that's the best format IMO.
I laughed like this the first 100 times I listened to these. Now watching you laugh at them is an added bonus! I wish they did some more! It’s pure gold for so many people!
Thank you for not only reacting to whom I think is a national British treasure and should be protected at all costs, Mr K Dilk... I mean PILKINGTON, but that you also understand and appreciate the beauty and brilliance of his haphazard mentality and overall hilarity. I nearly DIED when you lost it over his diary entry about the "Crosseyed people" in Gran Canaria 🤣🤣🤣. Seriously, dude! Not many people get him even in his own country so kudos and keep 'em coming!
Ricky and Steve had one of the first podcasts and Karl was their Producer. They found him unintentionally hilarious and he became a big part of the pod lol. This series was made years later, animating the original audio
The best part about it all is this is just Karl speaking his mind. They were once accused of having written this character of Karl, and Steve pointed out if they had written Karl Pilkington they wouldn’t have wasted him on the radio show. He is a force of nature
Ricky Steve and Karl started on XFM. Most of them are available on RUclips. Some of Karl on there is pure gold. Almost 20 years ago. I thought Karl was a character at first and though he is an amazing character actor and hilarious. Then I realised that he was just being real and he is incredibly insight full but almost childlike in his outlook. One of my favourite people on the planet. National treasure but he isn’t on TV much anymore. Thank you Ricky for giving him the platform and sharing him with us.
I love to watch Americans react to Ricky Gervais humour, you either get it, or you don't. I come from, and grew-up near Whitley, in Reading and know the area Ricky is from really well. In fact, I still live there! Reading people have deffinitly, got the most unique, dry sense of humour in the world.
Welcome to The Ricky Gervais Show. When you’re done with that, there is the directors cut - their XFM radio show. You’ll still be listening to it all over and over again in 20 years time I promise.
I met Karl a few years back in the pub and told him that I still listen to the XFM shows... his reaction was “why the fuck do people still listen to that? It was a shit radio show 15 years ago!”
The show was originally on XFM in the early 2000s, I remember listening to it and when Karl spoke I genuinely thought he was some middle aged sound engineer or something
Whenever I'm having a bad day, I watch this video. There's something about watching you react to this hilarious video that cheers me up big time. Your laughter is infectious. Thanks man.
Te best of Karl is funny. It has bits from DEREK and idiot abroad but it's the scenarios at the end that had me absolutely rocking with laughter 🤣 MUST WATCH
Love the video. I have always liked the quote from karl where he says. I would rather be living in a cave looking at the nice house then live in the nice house looking at the cave. I'm from UK and I absolutely love karl pilkington, he doesn't get the recognition he deserves
Eclectic, i had tears rolling down my face,that was the funniest video i've seen this year, please can you do more of the Ricky Gervais show, Eclectic, thanks for this video clip.
The Ricky Gervais Show was THE first podcast I ever listened to. I remember buying the episodes on some random podcast app back in 2010. The show hasn't gotten old to this day.
Watching Eclectic piss himself laughing fills me with joy.
I was about to write his laugher is joy 🤩. Then I read your comment.
Me too, I was laughing so hard with him I couldn’t hardly breathe 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
And me. Instantly cheers me up.
The best thing about Karl is that he says things that sound dumb, but you can follow a train of logic to see how he got to his conclusion. (Most of the time lol)
You’re one of our most valuable customers! But gets name wrong 😂
you nailed it, he is logical crazy, not bat S*&^% crazy
I actually think they will add letters to the alphabet soon.
I dont think they sound dumb half the time he got a point
@@SctonThrtn what's the other half?
This podcast actually helped me through a really depressing stage in my life 9/12 yrs ago. So honest and genuine. Funniest shit ever. Love to see it getting attention. Blessings from Toronto brother.👊🏾
Me too man! This show kept me going through lockdown and some tough times. Hope you’re well now brother.

I know the feeling. I'm done myself. Leaving this cesspool. Just giving stuff away now.
I hope you feel better and continue to heal and grow.

I am so glad to find another American who appreciates this show. One of the all-time funniest...and this doesn't even scratch the surface.
“Always wanted to kick a duck up the arse”!.....................Your laugh, Priceless. 🦆🥾
Its one of his best quotes
Woody wood pecker
@@Mr11Davis that's a wood pecker
Your laugh is infectious! To see you appreciate and enjoy our type of humour fills me with so much joy!
Oh this is great. Your laugh and sense of humour is so infectious-I'm in tears here!
Karl is so funny and at times says things that are deep.... When he went to Petra and Ricky stuck him in a cave to sleep opposite, Karl said 'Id rather be in a cave looking at a Wonder (Petra) than in a Wonder looking at a cave'... Deep and funny!!
Yeah he comes out with some really deep stuff, just unknowingly
This is one of my most favourite shows ever, seen it at least 10 times. Karl also wrote a show called Sick Of It, definitely worth a watch.
YESSSSS love abit of Karl Pilkinton
Karl Dilkington to you.
eclectic is becoming more british the more he watches.
its true
Best way of becoming British,our savage humour.
Accept our banter,and you're in.
Please don't. I like him as he is. An innocent (I'm pushing the argument a bit far now)American who's as baffled about our society as we are about his. Anyway if needed I'd recommend that Eclectic is allowed to become an Anglophile and suffer like the rest of us here! :-)
He'll be carrying an umbrella around in summer next! Or go out in the mid-day sun. I really think he'd suit a top hat.
Agreed!!!!
I got into trouble from my husband for laughing too loudly at YOU laughing at this! 🤣🤣🤣
🤭
I'm English and can confirm that he is a national treasure
@itsme Emma well to some of us he is!!!
I am English and I can confirm itsme Emma is fucking miserable.
Unlike Jimmy Saville.... : )
As a British man, seeing another man buckling, laughing and enjoying something just made me laugh immediately. Dat stuff's covid.
EDIT : Now crying because I'm laughing too hard, you bugger
I'm laughing at beard, who's laughing at ricky, who's laughing at karl, who has no idea how funny he is.
Have to say, this is one of the best reaction shows I've ever watched. I love that you get the British humour.
We're miserable, like to moan and take the piss put of each other and ourselves.
Yours and the guy from Afterwork Reactions have the two most infectious laughs I’ve ever heard 😂😂🏴
Did you originally start off with devon davinci as well? 😂
@@Chrono_Punk omg I did😂😂
Yea, he's a national treasure here, everyone loves Karl.
Can I just say you are one of the best reactors I have seen in a long time!! Just a pure delight and awesome sense of humour!
Thank you so much for those kind words
Best reaction yet! I'm so glad Karl is universal... he is a national treasure!!
Haha I've been watching your reactions for a while, and I've just realised that it's actually your amazing insight and understanding of the subtleties of British comedy (which is unusual for American reactors); and also your laugh and your genuine amusment that makes me keep clicking on your videos. Thanks for the reaction x
From a subscriber across the pond, I love watching your reactions to British humour! Keep up the good work pal!
So glad he’s watching this and completely gets how Karl is not trying to be funny but naturally. Great from you!!
You have watched so much British stuff, that you understand our humour. We (British are miserable, very sarcastic and love to take the piss out of each other) can call you a 'mate'.
Speak for yourself meldrew not everyone is miserable
As a Brit living in the USA thanks for all your positive reactions to Brit comedy and chocolate etc. Loving America and the great people that live here.
Oh jesus christ! Ricky and Steve laughing at Karl, EB laughing at them, me laughing at EB's laughing.. It's beautiful chaotic madness haha..
Hey Buddy, Im from the UK myself, and I love all of your reactions, especially the comedy ones, I suffer with anxiety and depression and just recently your reactions and your genuine laughter are the only things putting a smile on my face, thank you so much, keep them coming :)
Thank you so very much. If anything I do helps anyone, I'm doing better than I've thought possible.
I could watch you laughing at this all day
7:20 National treasure? You damn right!!! I agree 👍 💯. Sent with love from Manchester, England. Keep em comin EB!!
That is the best reaction to this show ever. We need to see you watch them all!!
I've watched every episode of the post cast and many RUclips reactions to Karl and Ricky but this man just gets everything their saying and it natural and pure!!! Lol good work sir! More to come!
Karl dose crack me up 😂 Your reactions are brilliant mate 👍🏻🏴
FINALLY! lol one of my favourite shows wish they did more animation from the original radio show, another great reaction.. had me in tears
I still remember watching this stuff and having my mind blown out of my skull from trying to understand how Karl thinks.
There is an episode where he talks about having gone to the beach with a mate, and that they laid out their towels and bags on the only in the spot with any trash on the entire beach.

I was rolling on the floor gasping for air when he said that.
The combination of the funniest show ever and your reaction is comedy gold🤣
I can't stop laughing at your reactions - your laughter is infectious. Keep up the good work.
Yes ! Karl is so funny ! I love your laugh, from Wales UK
THe animation is very “Flintstones”. Ricky looks like Fred.
I think that was intentional, actually. Due to the number of 'cave man' references that have been used over the years. I think Ricky had Karl as an extra on the show Extras, where he got to be a caveman.
Yup, Ricky says he told the animators he wanted a Hanna-Barbera style. It's perfect.
Dude... your reactions are so on point... I'm exactly the same when I watch anything with Karl... I have to keep pausing it so I can recover from laughing at him so hard. The ones where Ricky, Steve and Karl are together and Ricky and Steve are prodding Karl and cracking-up at his crazy-ass answers to the questions, that's the best format IMO.
Karl is as straight forward as it gets. The animation is priceless, really puts you in the idea.
I laughed like this the first 100 times I listened to these. Now watching you laugh at them is an added bonus! I wish they did some more! It’s pure gold for so many people!
Please consider watching every episode :) you won't regret it.
Yea plz do the series you will get a few more subs just from watching the 3 series’s
Defo
He is a National Treasure, his best quote or observation IMO is "you never see an old fella eating a twix" that is priceless and true...
Nah mate, his best quote is, 'who's the mental one here, is it me or is it everyone else?' :D
"if you don't have eyes, you shouldn't have wings"
Thank you for not only reacting to whom I think is a national British treasure and should be protected at all costs, Mr K Dilk... I mean PILKINGTON, but that you also understand and appreciate the beauty and brilliance of his haphazard mentality and overall hilarity. I nearly DIED when you lost it over his diary entry about the "Crosseyed people" in Gran Canaria 🤣🤣🤣. Seriously, dude! Not many people get him even in his own country so kudos and keep 'em coming!
There is something about this guy, he is so pleasant. Everything about him seems balanced and wholesome.
we love Karl because all us Brit's love a good moan.
That’s what she said
It would be great if you could react to every episode. There's no words to describe how funny Karl is. 😂
Omg somebody get this guy on a zoom call with Ricky Gervais...funniest 2 laughs these gents have 😂👍
I have a headache laughing at your reaction, brilliant thanks!🤣
Ricky and Steve had one of the first podcasts and Karl was their Producer. They found him unintentionally hilarious and he became a big part of the pod lol.
This series was made years later, animating the original audio
There are hours of podcasts and radio shows from these 3. well worth the listen
Learning English with Ricky and Karl is hilarious, a must see
Back sack and crack

I'm so jealous. You have all the podcasts and radio shows ahead of you.
I've listened to so much of those guys over the last year..... God bless Covid.
Oh wait.
Karl’s unintentional genius is awesome. We love him.
Brilliant!! Absolutely love Karl!! 😂👍
Your laugh Sir, is one hell of a contagious thing!
Oh my God, seeing how happy he is because of Karl is so heartwarming

I love u and ur reactions to our comedians ur laugh is amazing xx
I love seeing people react to these 3. You are so right, Karl should be a national treasure.
you should watch Q.I., Mock The Week, 8 Out Of 10 Cats, 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown, Taskmaster, and Would I Lie To You.
Fun Fact: Taskmaster has a US edition...still with Alex Horne
man down is a ok too...Channel 4s The Green Wing will weird you out but is also funny AF once you're hooked into it
@@weedfreer but it doesn't have Gregg Davis
@@Tony_Regime correct...it's Americany.
Maybe a side by side review of the shows' various best bits?
a Brit Vs US thing maybe?

Thank you sooo much for that video. Please....More of Karl !!!
Hysterical

Karl is what you call a "DROLL" and he is one of the most natural of Drolls of all time. Side splitting, Gervaise & Merchant are geniuse's
It's great to see Americans such as EBR dip into the weird and wonderful side of British comedy. 😆
And they say Americans don't get British humour. I loved you reactions my friend, made me smile. :)
I've seen a lot of the stuff you're watching over and over again and your enjoyment of it has brought it to life again for me.
I just cried for the whole vid,😂😂😂this guy is from my city and a true Mancunian,love him😆❤️
"I've always wanted to kick a duck the arse" gets me every time, hilarious with no effort, amazing
