An Idiot Abroad

[w00dsy]

Yeah I've got them on my phone I just haven't got around to listening to them.

[DexterPunk]

I used to listen to them in bed before I went to sleep. Only problem is they're addictive and you end up with less sleep than intended.

We don't have Sky so didn't get this, but I just acquired the first episode (China) and it had us in stiches, so I'm off to find the rest

[r8response]

so I'm off to find the rest

[durbster]

Cheers r8, I definitely won't check that URL then.

So I wasted minimal bandwidth to watch an episode of this, I lasted about 2 mins and I want my money back.

If I met that idiot I would break his nose. What ever happened to funny english comedy? This seems very American.

[DexterPunk]

You suck.

[c.j]

Yea, I definitely feel I am going against the grain with this one. Tried to watch it again this afternoon whilst I setup my garage/man cave... again, it went off quicker than it took for me to find it in my media gallery.

Deleted, removed file and torrent data.

Ricky was funnier when he was a fat shit.

everyone has a weird friend, the guy who just doesn't look at the world the same way. He is their weird friend. It would be like us sending Wobbly overseas and laughing at him struggling to fit in. Karl is an odd guy, very naive and just doesn't understand why the rest of the world isn't like where he comes from. It's that lack of understanding and confusion that made it for me.

[c.j]

I am not saying people who enjoy it are idiots, just that I don't get why his ignorance is so funny. I get the gimmick of the show, but after seeing the bloody ad on One for weeks, it already felt old to me. Maybe I would need to watch a few episodes. Except I can't because the main dude makes my blood boil.

Don't ban me.

Wobbly has already been overseas. And he fit in, everywhere.

I liked the show but not for the reason it was created... All I saw was a guy who saw these things for the 1st time and some of the things he would say made sense. I really couldn't stand Ricky and his other mate Karl is fine though

[DexterPunk]

If you haven't listened to the pod casts then it may not have the same impact. A lot of the people watching it in the UK would have a bit more of the back story of their group dynamics and somehow that makes Ricky and Steve make more sense. It's nothing more than for their amusement really.. particularly Ricky's. That link w00dsy posted is a pretty good and brief over view of some of stuff in the pod casts.. a lot of it is pure gold. I wish you could buy Karl's diary... it was always my fave part of the pod casts.

Kwijbo, That's a Negative.

But I thought you invented commercial airlines?

Commercial Airlines do not necessarily have to go over seas, they could be domestic.

The best episode of this show was the last one, when they inerviewed Karl back in the studio.

[w00dsy]

Season 2 has started, and it involves getting Karl to do items from peoples bucket lists.
