An Idiot Abroad

An Idiot Abroad

Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant are outraged that Karl has written off the Seven Wonders claiming they’re all “a bit s**t” having never seen any of them with his own eyes. They’ve thrown down the gauntlet to send him around the globe to force him out of his comfort zone. Stephen wants the experience to broaden Karl’s mind and change his outlook on the world. Ricky wants Karl to hate every minute of it for his own amusement.

Karl isn't acting at all. He's is like this, which makes it so amazing and funny. The season with Warwick was the only was to end the show....His constant annoyance of him is perfect!

One of the funniest shows I've ever seen!

He's not acting. He's just being himself.
Karl Pilkington is seriously stupid, and Ricky Gervais loves exploiting that to humorous effect.

You should go watch "The Ricky Gervais Show". Super funny stuff with Karl Pilkington in focus.

@nativefreaks I guess you don't know Karl then, or you'd know he's not acting.

Season 3 was quite horrible. It was obvious that Karl was acting.

@digibron I'm also checking the XFM series out for the second time.

Funny how Ricky is desperately trying to get Karl on television/famous.
Now, 10 years later, Karl hasn't changed at all but he is pretty famous. I really love that.

I'm still working my way through the old XFM series (I'm not even up to the podcasts yet - I'm a bit behind!) and it's great to see that so many years later Karl is just the same, making Ricky laugh just as loud. ;) I'm really enjoying the TV series, not just for Karl's awkward and hilarious reactions to things but because it's a refreshing look at travelling in countries that can be harder work than other travel shows make out.

@curve Loved it when he said in episode 2 that you're better off being ugly, as you can look at other beautiful people, and the beautyfull people have to look at ugly you :D

in episode 5 he says he wants to see a tornado. Hopefully they'll make him see one in Texas in the 2nd season :d
