Karl should have been up for a BAFTA for this

Among his reasons for quitting the show is that he doesn't consider himself to be an "actor." He's a brilliant actor. Yes, he's just playing himself, pretty much. But how many people can do that in such a completely natural, un-affected way? Watch any sitcom when they have some sports star or some other famous non-actor appear as himself. They "act" like a chunk of two-by-four. Karl seems completely unaware that there is a camera in the room.

@caldw615

Mickey Bitsko I think Karl is just used to a studio environment as he's worked as a producer for multiple shows over the years as well as had camera's in his face a lot for things like An Idiot Abroad. If you watch him on the old podcasts or Rickey Gervais Show he does a lot of improv scenarios with Ricky and Steve and takes them seriously enough as if they were actually happening which is very natural and very funny V:

@caldw615

Iv Ko Again I don't think this is down to Karl's knowledge that he's trying to act, he just sort of does it. He can over complicate scenarios when he gets into them but I don't think he's aware he's doing it. He's very imaginative in some respects and oblivious in others which is why he can sometimes come up with complex details to a scenario Ricky or Steve never thought of but he has a habit of taking scenarios too literally at the same time. Ricky and Steve for example have tried telling him famous proverbs like "Peoples in glass houses shouldn't throw stones" and in Karl's head he is thinking of all the negative drawbacks there would be to actually living in a glass house but he doesn't understand how it relates to the real world as a metaphor. In one aspects he's very creative and in another he's just oblivious. This isn't a bad thing mind, he's a very interesting individual and very creative, but I don't think he's learned or trained to be that way like many actors have actually done with full understanding, he just sort of does what he does naturally because that's how his mind works.

There's a certain level of learning involved when it comes to certain kinds of work and forms of expression.

Karl doesn't know how good he actually is in these roles. He was a important character to this series

This show is beautiful. That's the only way I can describe it. In every sense it is beauty. The concept, the acting the approach to the subject matter, the execution. So very well done. By a couple of guys with no formal training and some wonderful actors. Brilliant.

I love how Kev shat himself in a place where people are trained to deal with that and everyone just leaves him 🤣

9:40 - I imagine Karl getting a standing ovation from the crew after that scene.

How is he this good an actor when he's just being himself. I just love him.

The scene with the frog is hilarious then the next scene with the lady's ring is heartbreaking.

The frog scene is just classic!! When Derek is looking for the "other" one, this had me in stitches!

It's so weird seeing Karl trying to explain stuff to Ricky and being the smarter one.

I absolutely love the re-used cast in all of Ricky's shows & films

The part with Dougie and the clingy lady with the mothers ring, one of the best bits and Karl REALLY bit into the scene and character, you could tell. Hate those kind of people that only care about money and jewelry. "How's the ring fit?! Nice that. You want that but what about the box full of pictures, that's your moms memories but you don't care about that".
