Same. I'm kinda mad though that someone tried to show me him some 9 years ago or something and I watched a few mins and couldn't watch any more as I thought he was too grumpy. I was in a bad mood at the time. Fast forward all these years and I stumbled upon him by accident and saw that he's the greatest.

I remember the discovery. My friend in college mentioned an idiot abroad and the 'alright wall of china' quote. I decided to look it up and stumbled upon clips of the ricky gervais show and then learned about XFM. During the summer break after college finished I got an office job at my local council and was able to listen to music while I worked. Often I found myself listening to XFM and having to stifle my laughter in the office.

It’s genius.

2:36 - Karl: "They just age overnight. It's like a pear." The way he delivers these lines is so good..

"Singing happy birthday for the 8th time that day" 😂😂 Possibly the funniest thing that's ever been said.

I was thinking the same thing. Just a little comment. Turned out to be one of the funniest things ever said. xD

This was one of the first times Karl was filmed by Ricky and I’m always amazed at how much more there is going on behind his eyes when you see him interviewed now. Travelling the world definitely has broadened his mind!

Not even watched it yet and know Josh is going to love this 😂

Can’t believe this was 16yrs ago. I remember Karl being properly introduced to the world after previously only hearing his voice. This was a bonus feature on Ricky’s standup dvd “Politics” I have still got the dvd from back then I agree you should have done this before learn English. Learn English was 7 or 8yrs after this

Karl really makes you think about and laugh at the oddest things 😂 there's nobody like him. This was brilliant, thanks Josh. Good to see you're on the water rather than caffeine drinks :) love the green bottle.

Maybe the three-legged fella phoned his career advisor who was overseas in the states and what have ya, and the phone line was all crackly and cutting off, and the career advisor told him to be a jogger but he misheard it as "a juggler". I mean this was ages ago.

I bought the Politics DVD for my old man's birthday and we watched this together, he had MND, and he was laughing so much at the nature of infinity part, I honestly thought I had killed him.

Yes!!! Finally! The one I've requested and was waiting for a while 😊😊😅

Thank you! Been asking for this. Cheers

Thank you Josh! I love all your Karl videos :)

Congrats on 50k Josh, well deserved

This cheered me up. Thank you :)

I’ve never seen this before Thanks bruv. Keep them coming dude 👍👌

Just stumbled across your channel absolutely love it, your laugh kills me, keep up the good work

"steve merchant". I like how Karl then looks to the other side of the room, obviously at Steve xD

I literally adore your videos man. Keep it up.

More people that see the funniest man alive the better for humanity.

Karl is right about infinity, it is just as possible they type crap infinitely, in fact, it is more possible. That is like saying if you spend an infinite amount of time throwing tennis balls at the moon you will eventually hit it.

You've made me look for more Karl Pilkington videos....so entertainingly funny watch

Nice!!! Been lookin forward to this one!

Yessss thanks for doing this one, Was going to bed soon, not now haha

Love your videos dude. I've watched and listened to all the series and podcasts repeatedly for years and watching your reacts to them is like watching it all over again. Got me cryin with laughter annoyin the misses. Watch 'unseen footage of karl and ricky' !!!

Carl is a character from the north of England, he is full of dry humour like so many from the north. I was born and brought up in the north of England and love the place and the people

Congrats on the 50k Josh! keep in up man. x

Bottoms up for our most well hydrated reacter on KZread 😁👍

I watched this with my mate when it first came out on DVD. We laughed so hard from start to finish. My eyes and stomach were in pain 😂

Congrats on reaching 50k subs,next up 100k subs love the content great channel 👍

Been waiting for this one!

I’m so glad you finally watched this. Knew you’d enjoy it. It’s crazy to think that it was a whole 16 years ago.

Liked before I even started watching! Haha I knew you'd like this one. Karl is such a strange little creature 😂

I found u a few days ago from the idiot abroad series glad u find our boy funny he’s a legend great reactions mate 🙏❤️

I feel like you'd find 'Living with Ricky Gervais' even funnier. There's 2 parts and it's about his relationship with a fellow comedian called Robin Ince. Robin was Ricky's Karl, before Karl replaced him and became his number 1 'pet.' I really think you'd like it, very similar 'pest-like' behaviour, only Robin is a quite intelligent man, which made it even funnier!

Oh yeah, I find that a bit excruciating. It's so clear that Robin is not into most of Ricky's antics, but he just doesn't know how to make him stop. Love Robin paired with Brian Cox in the Infinite Monkey Cage, I went to see them live last year at Wembley Arena, excellent.

This was the 1st time I saw Karl..back in the dvd days

Love that you have discovered Karl. He is a gift

Brilliant, I love watching you’re bemused face with the way us Brits speak. And you’re laugh is contagious 😂😂

"Just for a laugh" 😂 😂 😂 😂

Sneezes, "Wow, that was intense" 😂😂😂

Yes Josh! My man with the great content getting us all through.

It's a great video, it's basically a very condensed version of the XFM shows as they discuss all these bits on the show (and in more detail, usually ending in Ricky either shouting at Karl, or lying on the floor gasping for air).

This was the first time I saw Karl, it's a long time ago now.

Love the videos man! Awesome laugh too! Check out Jack Dee live at the apollo and more of Al Murray!

Awesome reaction ♥️

This was one pf your best sir

Ever since I discovered the old XFM shows YEARS ago out of sheer luck I have been obsessed with these guys, they've been a huge part of my laughs in the last 10 years

Absolutely love this! Was the first thing that introduced me to Karl, so funny 😂

3 mins In and in already thinking you should take a breather haha I think death from laughters a pretty decent way to go

great reaction as always

Watching these is like watching with a friend, so thanks for doing these Josh. Interesting to hear your thoughts about which to watch first - this one or Learn English. I watched this first but I actually like the English one better. I guess you’re just a stickler for chronology (I get that too).

Glad to see you hitting some good ol' H2O my man!!!

I love our northern accents. We sound so ‘matter-of-fact’!😂 deadpan British accent! Say ‘bastard’ in a British southern accent, I don’t feel insulted at all, say ‘bastard’ in a northern English accent and I feel fully offended!🤣 Especially, Yorkshire!😂

I would like to think this is how everyone would react to watching this for the first time lol still one of my favourite videos ever

Brilliant vid. Yeah this is the first time we all ever met Karl on video which is why it would have been good to do it first, but it's ok, it was just as funny because you know Karl now. :) "Singing happy birthday for the 8th time that day" Hahaha. He's so funny. On the XFM shows, Karl would take words from various songs and make sentences of famous things he said. That was amazingly funny. One of the one's he did was "And you'll never see an old man, eat a Mars Baaaaar" (He had to use Mars Bar because he couldn't find a song lyric with Twix in it, haha).

I have loved all of your Karl videos, I also have a crazy laugh so I feel a true kinship 🤣 dude where in the world do you get your shirts? I’ve wanted to own 90% of the ones I’ve seen 🤩

The infinity theory comes up a few times in the podcasts.

The xfm show or podcast when hes talking about the two kids in the same year as him in school who had massive heads and webbed feet but weren't related is the funniest thing I've heard. Crying laughing

was watching this earlier today xD

weathers original is toffee / butterscotch , great video that my favourite of karl pilkington

Another great Karl reaction bud :D btw what would I have to search for to find that cool big green water container? Been looking for something that kinda size myself and the handle seems like a nice touch :D

Yes!! Haha Sorry for hassling you about watching this, lol. I think Learning English is just as funny and still a great introduction to Karl Pilkington. It seems as though he's actually become wiser since this recording. Meet Karl Pilkington 2 and also there's a Mr and Mrs quiz between Ricky and Karl on KZread which is great. Karl was producer for quite a few comedians on XFM before Ricky and Steve returned to that station. It took Ricky's genius, comedic perception and fascination/obsession with the human condition to recognise what Karl was and to seize that opportunity and draw more magic out of him, like a snake charmer.

As you probably know there's a part 2 of this. Also, I think you would really like "The Ricky Gervais guide to.." There's 2 seasons of that, and some special episodes I think.

Awesome you are watching this one. All time classic!

You should watch the next one, it shows how much Karl has improved in confidence

Yeah, old people eat "worthers" original (toffee sweets) as Karl said. Not a Twix, LMAO

The shift psttern😂😂😂😂😂

This is real young pilkington back in the real ignorant days, what a gem!

Steve gave Karl that book. It was a pull out from an FHM.

You should react to the full XFM Infinite Monkeys clip

I wish Ricky and Karl had some more of these formats it’s both of their expressions too

Kevin Bridges - once started a boy band

Love Karl 💘

I used to have the 'Book of Freaks!' I t came free with FHM magazine one month!

He goes abroad with warick davis who played professer flickwick n he said he exactly as ya see, watch derek its amazing

lol, dude, your laugh is more contagious than covid.

The Chinese don’t age well always gets me 😅 you should find a songs of phrase about it 😅

Ah man. I had a copy of Karl's freak book in school. Wish I'd kept it 😓

6:35 I think that's one of the funniest jokes Karl has ever made. lol

My favourite quote from Ricky about Karl came from the twix discussion that I think sums up Karl. "You know the terrible thing about all this Steve?....Is he's right!"

You should watch the short clip where Ricky is asked to guess what Karl’s “pet hate” is, but Karl completely misunderstands 😂 is a classic

I think you will like Live at the Apollo, Paul Chowdry - It’s baking Dave 😁

Jack Dee is a very funny mundane type stand up comedian you might like👍

Well if you loved this then 'Meet Karl Pilkington 2' is a no-brainer reaction request, much love from the UK

This is going to be good😬😂
