I'm so glad people are watching this show even now. It's seriously still one of the funniest things ever. It gets better everytime you watch it

I love how Ricky just says “no” whenever Karl says something that’s clearly not true.🤣

Karl Pilkington is genius.... I can't get enough of these and Idiot Abroad!

When Karl says "me mate Russell", that's Russell Brand. In another episode he mentions "Noel", that's Noel Gallagher from Oasis.

"Go ahead punk... Make my day" hahaha I love that you're watching these episodes! They never disappoint!

Russell Brand is his mate, Karl produced his radio show a few times.

Hey Frankie and Rondo, I grew up in Papua New Guinea (PNG) and I have never heard of any "undiscovered" places in modern day PNG. I'm from the coast but everyone from the jungles have pretty much been exposed to modernity. You'll see people in jungle villages walking around with smartphones connected to bluetooth speakers made in China. You want to know what is REALLY in the deep jungles of PNG? ..For more than half a century now, Illegal multinational logging companies have been felling millions of acres of centuries old trees from pristine rainforests, Western mining companies deep in the jungles blasting huge open pits and dumping chemical waste like oil and cyanide into virgin river systems which end up killing natural wildlife and killing local people (especially children who play in the rivers) who live off those rivers, miles of barbed wire fenced acreages with massive satellite dishes that even locals are not allowed to look at let alone be anywhere near... This "cannibals in the jungle" is a narrative pushed by people whose 'special interests' mean they don't want anyone looking to closely into what Western corporations are really doing in those jungles. Believe me, I know, I have family who work in some of those 'legal' mines and even they're not allowed into some of those hi tech compounds with rows of satellite dishes. It's been said that those compounds are unofficial US army bases (just like how the CIA says they don't have a base in the middle of Australia). Some educated locals in PNG say these compounds may be part of the wall of surveillance surrounding the "Chinese threat" in the region or so they say....a result of post war international policy when the jungles of PNG became a strategic point between Asia and the Pacific in the war for control of the area during WW2. There's currently genocide in West Papua carried out by the Indonesian Military who's military might has been heavily subsidized for decades by the US government. Indigenous people are being murdered by the thousands in West Papua. I tell you if the so called "cannibal" indigenous people gain rightful control of their own land on the Indonesian side, they will bring to light many things that special interests are trying to keep hidden in those jungles. Many people try to deny this reality but sad to say, Imperialism is still happening behind the scenes. I'm a subscriber so I thought I'd give you an actual local's point of view. Don't buy into the narrative.

Fun fact, the Russell in the first story is actually Russell Brand

"Oliver (c. 1957 - 2 June 2012) was a former ape once promoted as a missing link or "humanzee" due to his somewhat human-like appearance and a tendency to walk upright. Despite his somewhat unusual appearance and behavior, scientists found that Oliver was not a human-chimpanzee hybrid."

It makes me so happy to see people who truly get Karl’s humor. Dude on the right (especially) gets Karl

Keep going with The Ricky Gervais Show reactions. They are amaizing

best show ever, watched it for years and still laugh. on dolphins "i dont know what they kit them out with ,but they are ready for war!!!!" "the monkey came over closer and closer to him, before you knew it, he was sitting having 'ham butties' (sandwiches) with him!! " love watching it with you guys, always picks me up when im feeling down!! peace and love guys.

His mate "Russel" is actually Russel Brand. Imagine that friendship 😂

The face rub story Karl talks about his mate Russel it's Russel Brand he just didn't want to name drop lol

Rondo’s looking stream-lined like he’s ready to swim with the dolphins.

Looking forward to season 3 with Warwick. How he treats the little people is just hilarious. Could come off super offensive but hey...it's Karl.

I only live for these reactions now

The problem with Karl is some of his stories have a bit of truth to them but when he processes it and tells Steve and Ricky it's completely screwed up.

Just googled the story, not only does it turn out to be derived from a true story, the actual story is even weirder than that...

RIP Norm Macdonald…hope you do more reactions of his soon

Always look forward to seeing a new vid by these guys

Pls keep doing these, all the seasons. It soooo awesome. It's like watching 'em with friends all over again.

Please put out more Idiot Abroad! Love everything you guys put out but especially Karl being tortured! Love you guys.❤

one of the best episodes, thanks for covering it, can't wait for more!

Tribes was one of the best programmes I watched when I was younger, would be great if you guys could react that as well.

1:18 Correct. Facts learnt from *Ecco the Dolphin* and *Ecco: The Tides of Time.*

I think the Russell that he was talking about was Russell Brand, which makes the cartoon extra funny.

I love this show ...especially when listening with you perfect end to.my night ..thanku so much love you loads God bless x

Bin binge watching this channel all day!

"Bum tubes" LMFAO! That was hilarious.

Sometimes he does not have all the facts, but i checked now, and it is true... Thank You both, and eager to see more, because this earlier episodes are funny, but it gets better each episode. This was the beginning of their experiences ..and it worked well, as we saw with idiot abroad..but i prefer this cartoon series pace..and the cartoons for myself, are well done, after the podcast!

Fun fact, the mate that karl went for a face rub with was russell brand. Him and Karl did a radio show together back in the day.

I honestly did not google Ollie the chimp 🤣😂🤣😂

Hey guys one of the great ones just passed away Norm Macdonald rip Norm

Because Karl is so inarticulate and unsure about specifics it's easy to dismiss everything he says as bollocks but sometimes there's a kernel of truth to his bizarre ramblings. The dolphin story, I think, is based on dolphins that had been trained by the US military to find or deploy sea mines but who escaped. The monkey news is based on Oliver the chimpanzee who had a habit of walking upright and was sold on by his first owner because once he became sexually mature pestered his wife. Years later he tracked him down and found him living in a sanctuary and his story is the subject of a documentary which I'm sure is available on line. He was exhibited all over and was 'sold' as a human chimp hybrid although DNA tests showed he was not. Interesting but sad story all the same.

The way he said “supposedly” like he’s anti dolphin 😂

You know the Papa people

"one of natures smartest animals" oh no, don't say that around Karl

ricky is using the word iconoclastic incorrectly

Great reactions guys. They get better and better

I pray you upload these reactions more frequently.

7:56 that epic head in hands moment🤣

"Oliver - 1957-2012" "when he reached sexual maturity, he was interested only in human females." Nothing about sex though...lol...thank goodness. But then again, I didn't dig that deep.

Good points. Karl’s sincere. 👍 I remember something about dolphins kitted up with some kind of gear. 🤔

Ollie's trainer was called Frank. He also spent the rest of his life in Texas.

Norm Macdonald just died... RIP. Might want to react to some more of him.

Been waiting on this one

So glad you're doing these! I cannot WAIT for you to,get to Karl's diary!

“You don’t know any of the details “ 😂

Been looking forward to more karl 🤙

What’s hilarious is that the NY Times actually once reported that according to former Navy dolphin trainers…dolphins were once taught to kill enemy divers with nose-mounted guns and explosives 😂

I love the fed up look in the elephants' faces.

When you watching 'The moaning of life' with karl pilkington

I haven't laughed so hard in a long time.

Situated just 20 miles from Seattle, Naval Base Kitsap houses America's most powerful and secret deterrents, a weapon that is the first line of defense for U.S. national security: U.S. Navy dolphins.

It's that time of the week 🕺🏼🎉

Fun fact: at 2:00 his mate "Russell" is actually Russell Brand. They did a few radio shows together back in the day.

RIP, Norm MacDonald.

Gotta do a norm McDonald one today please RIP NORM!

You guys should watch some Louis Theroux stuff

time makes new antiques every year

"Though Ricky and Steve had apparently never heard of Ollie, he is a fairly well-known chimp, having been the subject of numerous documentaries. He is said to display human traits, such as walking on two feet and having a skull that is closer in shape to that of a human. His trainer, Janet Berger, claimed that Ollie became attracted to her when he reached sexual maturity and tried to mount her on multiple occasions. His behavior lead some in the scientific community to wonder whether he was some sort of human-chimpanzee hybrid, and thus he came to be known as a "Humanzee". However, DNA tests would eventually prove that Ollie was in fact just a regular chimpanzee."

Eddie murphy - white like me ?

Ollie is based on the real life performing Chimpanzee known as Oliver who was promoted as a "missing link" or possible human chimpanzee hybrid. Post mortem DNA testing showed it was just a typical central African chimpanzee. It had unusual but not uncharacteristic features such as limited hair on its face and head, freckles and tended to walk up-right on its hind legs rather than more typical knuckle walking.

imagine Karl smoking pot. Just imagine that for a second.😂🤣

Perfect place to decompress after another tough day!

Please more Idiot Abroad! I'm begging. I can only watch with you guys! Best channel ever! ❤ you guys!

Ollie the Chimp died in 2012 aged around 55, he tried mounting the Zoo Keeper a few times, not a Zoo Keepers wife 😂 he spent his last few years with a Female Chimp called Raisin

You just know it would be Ricky's dearest wsh to send Karl to a tribe ( the Pappas- no connection to the Mamas and Papas) that would require him to invert his penis. I'm sure it was brought up for An idiot abroad and fervently pushed back against by Karl. Would have been a brilliant episode.

You two have probably heard, but Norm McDonald has, sadly, passed away. 😞♥️

They should make ocean Romeo n Juliet where a shark loves a dolphin

1:20. Absolutely! They are famous for saving humans from shark attacks.

Fuck ya, always looking forward to more Karl, Ricky gervais show from you guys

Head like a fulking Orange? 🍊 🤣

Internet is a tricky place - Rondo

«Bad wind» 😅

RIP Norm McDonald

I googled the monkey lol His name was Oliver and he was starting to like the wife more than he should have so they sold him. But Karl added a bunch of random info and made the story sound way worse than it was lmao.

YES!!!

Just checked - 70 percent of PNG is still unexplored. They believe there still may be tribes there are untouched by civilization. I hope to heaven, that they leave them the F alone. Let's not screw up anyone else with this insanity.

His “mate Russell” is Russell Brand which I think is so funny. Karl be friends with alll the comics

The dolphin thins is real, my man needs to get more credit. But it wasn't guns, those were poison filled knife tips.

Couch cat is back!

Watched the second one of these now... do you guys smoke weed all day before recording this? Greater to watch because of it

Karl Pilkington the moaning of life

Come on big fella. I need to feel you at the start. That was an excuse for an aaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiggggggggghhhhhhhht XXX

Here we go lol

His mate Russell is Russell Brand btw

Ha just came here after seeing an article: “Hamas claims Israeli military dolphin equipped with weapons attacked its naval force” 😂😂😂😂

The closest story I could find about Karls monkey news - Oliver with a twist - Retired freak show chimp still scientific mystery Not exactly the way it went but close enough it could be what he was trying to remember or make sense of.

Even the dolphin things was kind of right. The Royal Navy trained dolphins to sniff German depth charges in World War II.

A lot of the stories Karl tell turn out to be a reflection of a true event but with completely wrong details lol.

That cat is sooooooo cute

his mate russell who he is talking about is actually russell brand. no shit true story.

Which one has Karl's movie idea starring Clive Warren?

Norm Macdonald best bits reaction 👊

Bad boys of comedy- Rasheed

military dolphins...."trained to detect underwater mines and enemy swimmers and then report back to their handlers."...interesting.

I just looked it up and Oliver the chimp is real lol. But apparently he was thought to be half human and half chimp , they initially thought that he could also be the missing link between us and chimps . His trainer also said she thought he was making sexual advances to her . How ever it’s said that he was eventually tested and turns out he was just a normal chimp . It’s on his wiki .

"me mate Russell" Russel Brand btw
