his *Spanish* seems like french to me

He's just drunk and he needs money for drinking..that's it 😂😂

Fisherman : " give me donation" karl : " why?" Fisherman : " my hand Calluses "

100 rupees for 1mil views worth of revenue. Karl is the real scammer 😂

he wasn’t speaking spanish he was speaking french lol

Me: I don’t think there are scams in south India Joseph: hold my jellyfish

This is not a scam karl, he is just a drunk man, asking money for drinking 😂

I laughed so hard when he said ''My friend is Micheal Jackson

Whenever someone in India approaches you saying “hello my friend” prepare to be scammed

When the guy was inviting him.... Karl was like "finally some new content is awaiting me" 😂

I'm from kerala and I live in america. I came to kerala to visit now 3 times. I'm so sorry about the scammers, because of them people think that all Indians are scammers. I hope for more foreigners to live in india like you. :)

I seriously don't know why he gave 100 rupees. Is he saying..."This is how to become a fool...!"

That guy is drunk most probably alcoholic. He's not gonna spend money on family but will end up buying alcohol with that money.

Legend has it that Michael Jackson gave him 400 rupees and asked him to beat it

So, I've done this, many years ago, only the fisherman was sober - I was invited out onto a fishing net in Kochi, watched the sunset and at some point the fisherman said something that made me realise this wasn't free. I have to say though, I didn't mind. I'd been looking forward to seeing the nets for years and hadn't realised I'd be able to climb out on one. The sunset was beautiful, I got some great photos and I didn't mind forking out a few rupees for the opportunity. I live in a fishing community and I know that it's a precarious occupation, and it's obviously much more so in Kochi. I do, that said, understand the point about how this kind of thing stokes paranoia and makes tourists much warier than they need to be. It's depressing when you think you might be having a genuine friendly encounter and then the sales pitch starts and you remember you're just a wallet on legs. It would be pleasanter if people were upfront and had a little sign saying 50rp for a net tour (or whatever). But it's also important to keep a sense of perspective. It's too easy to let one shitty occurrence take precedence in your mind. A couple of years ago I travelled alone from Delhi to Bikaner via the Shekhawati region (which is gorgeous, I can thoroughly recommend it), and I had a great time. I met so many lovely, helpful people, including a wonderful guesthouse owner in Nawalgarh, who gave me a free guided tour and drove me out of the district gratis to catch a bus during a local bus strike. No negative experiences whatsoever. Then I arrived in Bikaner, and the bus driver's assistant told me I had to give him 200rp to get my luggage out of the storage compartment. It was something like my 13th visit to India and I knew this was garbage and told him so, and he instantly relented. I wandered off into Bikaner mumbling, 'Screw this place, jerks like that trying to take advantage, why do I keep coming here?' Then I gave myself a good talking to. I'd just let that single unpleasant experience cancel out all the good ones. I guess that's human nature, but it sucks. India shouldn't have to constantly remind its visitors to keep a sense of perspective.

Karl: "I'll show you how not to get scammed" Also Karl: immediately gives scammers the money, hence encouraging them to keep doing it.

When he spoke in “Spanish” he was actually speaking French. He said «comment tu t’appelles? »

I speak Spanish and trust me that ain’t Spanish lol.

I’ve been in India traveling now for 5 weeks. Every word you say in your videos is so true!!! Any time someone here talks to you they expect money. They follow you and talk to you if you like it or not and they ask for money. Sad to say I do not trust anyone being friendly to me as I know they are only making some conversation to get money. When out site seeing happens about 20 times a day. Love your channel and it has helped me navigate India. Thank you so much.

Karl, I understand India is your home. but having worked IT for 30 years, and having my customers lost entire life savings to spammers from India. I have a hard time seeing many positive things. I know its a terrible thing, but this country seems to run on mass poverty and stealing from others

"i speak spanish" "comment tu t'appelles" pretty sure thats french bud

Indian: *"MY FRIEND"* Karl: Oh Sh**, here we go again.

When he said I am captain of this boat I just remembered our legend Captain Jack Sparrow ❤️

Local indian: please gift pen for me please . The Joker: how bout a magic trick?? Ta da 🤡

He sounds like an NPC. "My name is Joseph." "My hands callees." "50 people, no problem. 500 rupees."

General rule when you're a tourist -- if YOU don't initiate contact, it's probably a scam.

When I was travelling through North America, either in New York City or Toronto, there was a legitimate Red Cross advertisement on the car of a subway train stating that we could receive a free first aid book by texting the number provided on the poster. I just wanted to try, even though I had no fixed location there. After disclosing some information, almost at the final stage, the process was effectively halted by a message stating that I would receive the free book only if I donated to them. It was not mentioned anywhere on the poster. Cheaters come in a variety of shapes and sizes.

Something similar happened to me both in Bodrum, Turkey and at the Eiffel Tower. I was given a rose. I didn't ask for it, they just shoved it into my hand and then demanded money. I told them no and to take the rose back. They wouldn't take it, so I threw the rose on the ground and started shouting, LOUDLY, about giving someone something without their permission and then demanding money. There were too many people around so they left, startled.

He is making more money than an average engineer in India

I am from Kerala Kannur I am telling he is drunk

I'm from Kerala, he is an alcohol adict and he is asking money for buy alcohol.

I was there a month ago. Got invited on to the net platform and when the guy started on about donations I just said, “thanks, bye!” and walked off. He hollered after me but I just ignored him.

Am from Kerala & I can understand that he is drunk🥴🍺 😂 & sometimes they will not use the money for their family they will use for buying alcohol

Leave a like for the escape Jellyfish

5:04 uhm every kids studies at school not in hospital 😶

Man why did you give him money? I wouldn't have given him a rupee.

"All U.S.A and Michael Jackson my friend." 🤣🤣 cracked up "And Minister Obama" I fell from my chair

When he proudly called himself to be a captain, I somehow though of Captain Jack Sparrow.

he is not asking money to give food to his 2 children or his wife he is asking that for drinking

THE GUY SAID COMMENT TU T'APPELLE!!! That's French!!! 🤣🤣🤣

The people who disliked are probably scammers :)

*Fisherman, that was not Spanish my man* 😂😂🤦🏻‍♂️ this guy was lost af

Free tip of the day - Just avoid countries where random strangers approach to you with "How are you my friend"!

This man called himself the friend of Michael Jackson and President Obama 😂

A Scammer Should Make Video Titled *How To Avoid Karl Rock In India*

Karl: telling the fisherman , take this 100 rupees, gives him 10 rupees. And the fisherman didn't said anything.

THANK YOU KARL ROCK ! YOUR VIDEOS ARE VERY EDUCATIONAL TO WATCH ! X watching 2022, from NZ.

Fishermen: I am Joseph. Karl: Nahi Chahiye Ji. 😆

*Note to self: Bring extra pens to India...*

This happens everytime when I go to kochi , before stepping near the fishing net I just know that there is gonna be a donation coming.

They ask you for money and never say thank you for that... What a manner...

I'm confused since you already know it's a scam and you literally confronted him about it yet you still pay him. Confronting others from doing wrong doesn't deserve any attention of good reward.

He is the official pamb of kerala 🤣

I had a nice time in Kochi and South India in general. Didn't meet many of these people, but going up north things were pretty crazy and annoying. It got to a point that I was like: not gonna leave the hotel for today, because I don't want to meet indian people. I was there for 2 months so it got to a point that I was exhausted of these "friendly people" literally everywhere. And it's exactly what you said, not everybody will approach a tourist in that matter, but that's really rare. It seems like they see us as a big wallet. I was in India with a swiss friend and for his looks people were assuming he was a rich European - he's cheap af. Every time someone offered us anything in a friendly way my friend's first sentence always was: I won't give you any money

Funny how he says ''Comment tu t'appelle?'' and says he's speaking Spanish when he's actually speaking French and is asking ''What's your name?''

At 3:59 he said Micheal Jackson was his friend... Who’s gonna break it to him

I am from Kerala, I hav seen this kind of ppl, my dad always tell me to keep dist from these kind of ppl. These ppl try to emotionally blackmail you that tourists r rude, nofinance, etc

as if it's the tourist's obligation to send his son to school..

bruh Karl you funny af for recording that fish Fallin off the net 😂😭

I have calloused hands too. *Puts hands out for money*

Michael Jackson and Obama have a common friend Joseph

After all these years in India, Karl should have understood the difference between scam and donation.

"Wait and see" everytime the fisherman said that it cracked me up 🤣

1:47 "spanish" Also him: Speaks french

The whole country is turning into a tourist trap

R.I.P. English One of the best conversations of Karl with scammers when it comes to the quality of Mother English.

Poor guy didn't know who Karl is. He thought no one from Kerala would see this 😆.

Indians : Hello my friend... Karl : Now that’s an avengers level threat.

he is drunk.. and that 💯 rs for his Next Drink donation.. not for family.. ur Screwd 😂😂

even that jellyfish was like: aight im outta here

In today's world nobody calls anyone without any selfish and personal motive...sad.

I don’t think he said “what’s your name” in spanish, i think he tried to say it in french because it’s sounds like : comment tu t’appelle? Which means what’s your name?

1:46 he was speaking French not Spanish! He said “ comme tu a’ppele” that means what is your name in French!

Scammer: "Comme tu t'appelle" SPANISH CANT STOP LAUGHING 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Kid: Mom I want a donation!!! Mom: We have donations at home!! Also mom: pulls out generic captain crunch

Legend says he's still saying My Name is Joseph.

You are too kind, you should have given him nothing.

that jelly fish part was so funny

you still give him and thats why i like you karl. some really dont deserve but this one is allright... and you a good guy. love to you and your family

Guy : Give me Jellyfish Karl : why Guy : To FEeD BaBy

Poor man - Hello my friend Karl - U want some donation ??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Master : prove me that you are hard working Me : look at my right hand callus🙋

"My names Joseph, I am the Caption Now". Aal pulliyan!

The fisherman was tripping under desi daaru 😂

I went walkabouts in India all down the West coast and up the East to Rajistan then back to my start point of Bombay after a trip for work. Just avoid the tourist areas and you'll get none of this hassle. I had a fantastic time with the people and the only problem I had was I didn't understand when the kids down in the south kept asking me for "skoolpen". When I asked what it was they wanted it was a School pen, So I went and bought a box of Bick pens and I have not seen happier faces on kids in a long time just from being given a pen for school.

Fisherman: "Give me donation" Karl: "I'll give your donation when you fix this DAMN DOOR!!"

Scrolling for the 'malayalee aano' comment 🤣

Karl- how much money you want? Fisherman -yes I am josheph😂😂 Karl--nhi chahiye ji😂

The guy was speaking in French saying “comment tu t’appelles ?” (What’s your name?)

1:46 he is speaking in french he say " comment tu t'appel ? " wich means what's your name , and pretend it's spanish lmao

The fisherman was actually talking French not Spanish. He said:"Comment tu t'appelle?". Eng trs:"Whats your name?".

apologize to Karl for this incident. From a keralite. Not everyone is like that scammer.

As an Indian who grew up in a Hispanic community I can appreciate Joseph’s “Spanish”!

This is not the donation for his family It's for the bars😂

It happens in kochi, he is just a drunk fishermen, who live a low life, they ask money some give them some doesn't, you can't compare it to other countries, it's different everywhere

He's a drunk person brother... He need money for drinking 🍻

That's the worst type of bumming man, Karl buddy your such an amazing dude, you gave him a hundred just to tell him he's wrong 😂😂

Thanks for your great videos, I really enjoy them and it even motivates me to go to India.... By the way; fyi min 1.40 "Comment tu t'appelles?, What is your name, comment tu t'appelles...it's Spanish, Spanish" well it's French, but I'm impressed 🙂

Here in America, 70% goes to the boat owner and 30% goes to the crew.
