Produced by Ricky Gervais and Steve Merchant this show is effing hiliarious!

Karl Pilkington is a legend!

yep. This was on discovery last year in Toronto.

Great wall of China is the best one. "They say you can see it from outaspace, you can see the M6 from space, but no one cares about that"

Re: An Idiot Abroad
 

HAHAHA I loved when he went up to that fella and was like "What ya building here then? I know it aint a toilet door" LOL

Classic! I just ordered the DVD from amazon.co.uk 4.99 GBP!

Re: An Idiot Abroad
 

What time and day is it on now. I would like to pvr it.

Re: An Idiot Abroad
 

I havent watched on Cable, i watch it online through project free tv (google project free tv youl find it)

Re: An Idiot Abroad
 

Yep, it was a funny show ... have you seen Karl comes home? 45 mins of him talking to Ricky & Steven about his experiences :rofl:

Re: An Idiot Abroad
 

It was so funny - seeing the Pyramids no longer holds the appeal it used to though:rofl:

Re: An Idiot Abroad
 

second series is either in the making or already made ... classic stuff ... KP is a legend... the xfm podcasts are well worth a listen too IMO

Re: An Idiot Abroad
 

I didn't think it was very good. Just some disingenuous and unimaginative wanker moaning all the time. Got a bit irritating after about 5 mins.

Re: An Idiot Abroad
 

you would say that LOL :rofl:

Re: An Idiot Abroad
 

Only were it to be the truth.

Re: An Idiot Abroad
 

I saw this thread title and thought..."I wonder whether Novo is back from his summer sojourn. Abroad. And he is."

Re: An Idiot Abroad
 

The sence of humour bypass opp was a success then. Good for you Oink.

;)

Re: An Idiot Abroad
 

I downloaded it and watch the China one yesterday. Karl is a legend from the Guardian podcasts.

It had its funny moments. The bit with the needle (not exactly) through the glass was classic, and his horror at the food I could sympathise with. And the bathroom facilities...

Ricky Gervaises laugh is really annoying, as is his mean way of treating his so called friend.

Re: An Idiot Abroad
 

Jimmy Carr's laugh is even more annoying though.

Re: An Idiot Abroad
 

I used to listen to this on XFM back in 2003. It went out between 2 and 4pm every Saturday. I tried my best to listen wherever I was.

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
 

Yes yet another awesome series from the master comedian and his side kick.

Barry from Eastenders was good, and what can you say about the car phone warehouse job, Rickieee !!.

Extras will be the Faulty Towers of the 00's :thumbup:

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.

Re: An Idiot Abroad
 

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 :rofl:

Re: An Idiot Abroad
 

For anyone interested there is a new series on it's way soon or so Ricky said in an interview the other day

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.

Re: An Idiot Abroad
 

KP is getting paid handsomely so I don't think he has reason to complain.

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
 

How did you know about the houses.....wow scary :rofl:

Re: An Idiot Abroad
 

Anyone have links to where all the ones mentioned in this thread could be downloaded from?

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.

Re: An Idiot Abroad
 

You think you can zip them up and upload them for free to either megaupload, wupload, rapidshare, et al for us please?

Come on, be a diamond geezer :thumbsup:

Re: An Idiot Abroad
 

Whats wrong with the torrent I linked to? Worked for me:confused: All you need is utorrent or something similar.

Re: An Idiot Abroad
 

Might as well, as I'm afraid I don't have the time to zip up 4-5 GB of mp3's.

Re: An Idiot Abroad
 

Just watching the 1st ep season 1 again...flippin' funny it is :rofl:

The whole rant about China, and it's not CARRRRRRRRRR, it's Karllllllllllllllllllllll

I thought the iPod was made in China he said, how come they don't have toilet paper in the loo that has no doors either? Do they just stand up and go once they are done crappin'?

Priceless
