Re: An Idiot Abroad
I got the pod casts a couple of years ago, but I had to stop listening to them on my ipod on the Go train, as I kept pissing myself laughing. I'm sure everybody must have thought I was some kind of nut-case.
Who remembers the "Hairy Chinese Kid". And quotes such as "you never see an old person eating a twix". One of my favourites was the discussion on "Butt Plugs". And White Van Man, where Karl was asked to give his take on news items from the previous week. Or Educating Karl, where he was given a book to review.
Has anybody seen Extras yet?

Re: An Idiot Abroad
I still can't decide if Karl Pilkington really is a moron or if it's just a good act! Either way his observations are humorous.

You are so right. The car phone warehouse scene was brilliant. I also loved the episode with Patrick Stewart.

Re: An Idiot Abroad
I thought Extras was crap, but love AIA and the Ricky Gervais Show.
By far the funniest clip from this is th one where they discuss the merits of giving a third world family a goat for Xmas

Re: An Idiot Abroad
Extras was briliant. Idiot Abroad is OK, but the more I watch it the more I feel sorry for Karl, he seems a genuinely lovely bloke whose takes too much crap from his "friend" Ricky. Steve Merchant comes over as a passive aggressive bully who also wont stand up to his mate and make him stop being a git.

A house in Hampstead and one in Kent-can't be bad for doing a few Podcasts and being sent around the world. If he didn't want to do it, I'm sure he wouldn't on past form.

Re: An Idiot Abroad
Oh sorry about that. Glad I downloaded all the shows XFM Series 0- 4,about 150 shows. This was where I got them from, together with all the Guide to's and Podcasts from various Torrents.
They take up a good couple of DVDs as back ups.
