>Adulthood is when you realize that Karl makes more sense

>>89549613
He's a lot less of unbearable than his fat fred flinstone looking fucker pal.

Adulthood is realizing that Karl is the ONLY one who ever made any kind of sense. Even the so-called "weird tangents" he'd go on had grounding in logic, despite whatever shit Ricky or Stephen would give him.

>>89549642
This, Karl prefers to reflect on the issue imposed from all angles and questionings forms before forming a full opinion. He offers valid and real historical points that the others are too stupid to belive because they rely too much in common sense, while Karl is capable of thinking outside the box and do researches

>>89549613
>>89549642
this is because Karl Pilkington was always and will always be the genius comedian we needed. Karl as a character resounds as someone with so little care about reality and only his own internal logic like a Zeno-esque mother fucker or even Diogenes. Ricky Gervais is a fucking attention hog, Merchant is alright, but Karl always is the star.

yeah that chimp must be what? 400 pounds? jesus those things will tear you to shreds

>>89549613
Karl's appeal is that he's a real dude. He doesn't put on an act or try to make people laugh. He says what's on his mind.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rr1Jdtf3KgY

>>89549613
The smaller the concept, the harder it is for Karl to be wrong. The thing is, he never tackles large concepts without being goaded by the other two, thus making them look like wanks and him looking like an idiot.
I think people get absorbed in how comfy the show is and forget the entire concept is to force that dynamic.

>>89549613
No, adulthood is realizing that Karl is wrong about a lot of stuff- but thats okay, thats just how he goes about things
Its also realizing they were making a fucking podcast, and the other two were just straight up talking to him- and when you listen to him unedited he comes off as an idiot way more than the edited versions of the show.
Karl make senses when he finally gets to his point a good number of times (even when steve and ricky disagree with him), but he has no conversational skills to speak of, we as viewers can listen or watch things multiple times until we follow, or have visual aids and heavy edits to help us get to karl's point faster
But when the other two have to listen, they have to listen to every tangent he goes on until he makes his point- if he even does- which is much harder to do.

This is why we get Ricky cutting him off so much- he's trying to get Karl to focus and get to his point faster, and why we get Steve's "let him finish!": steve understands the way Karl thinks and speaks uses the tangents to connect his thoughts together.

One of my favorite Karl moments is when they're talking about cloning someone with all your mempries, and Karl brings up the question of which clone would be the real person. Rickly laughs at him like an idiot, but that kind of question of identity is actually a huge topic of debate within philosophy circles.

>>89550415
Karl was absolutely right in being confused about that notion. Ricky was the idiot for brushing it off.

>>89550454
The funny thing is Ricky is a philosophy major

>>89550582
I have to wonder if he's just eager to laugh at Karl so he doesn't bother actually listening to what is being said, or did he truly not appreciate what Karl was getting at.

It really isn't. Karl isn't a "genius" or any of that shite people say when they're licking his arse because they like him so much.

Karl is a fucking idiot. That's the point, that's the appeal. He's a gullible fool who is incredibly down to Earth and just says what he thinks with either little self awareness or filter, or he gives no shits about showing them.

Point to times he made sense and Ricky and Stephen shat on him, sure. Like the time he was asking if peoples internal monologue have their accent, or when he said VR would be a thing in the future. That's fine, but it doesn't make him a "genius" or mean he makes more sense.

I mean, Monkey News is one big testament to him making no fucking sense.

I fucking love Karl Pilkington, I reckon he's top notch and always worth listening to, but he doesn't make "more sense". That's half the fucking point.

Wow, I'm reading some of the stuff on Steve and it's pretty brutal.

>He agreed to drive them because a girl he liked was coming along. Unfortunately, another boy whom the girl apparently fancied also joined them. They directed Steve to a field and then ran off to grab Vera, a Vietnamese potbellied pig. Not wanting to appear uptight in front of his crush, he let his friends put the pig in the car. On the way back, he wedged the Volvo horizontally in a country lane. Steve began to panic, and soon started to cry. The situation was rectified when Steve's rival got into the driving seat and freed the car, leaving him tear-soaked and emasculated in the backseat.

>>89551658
That can't have really happened though,,,Right?

>He was gutted when he discovered he could have saved 20 pounds on a video game system he had just purchased. He asked Ricky to give him 20 pounds to make him feel better.

I wonder what his ethnic heritage is...

>>89551770
Here's the excerpt from the show.

>Steve: So they’re having a wild time, hilarious. So this time, now we get to a sort of dead end in the, in the road, and they say “well turn round, let’s go back to the party…” I’m thinking ‘fine’, try and do a three point turn in this very narrow country lane, right, get the Volvo estate wedged horizontally across the road. Can’t get it out, just can’t seem to sort it out. I don’t know why and now I’m panicking cos there’s a pig in the car, right, and local disgruntled farmers, right, people drunk, partying, probably off their head on some kind of weed, Rick..

>Ricky: Was it loads of blokes with like pitchforks and flaming torches going “burn him; he’s playing with our pig…”

>Steve: Exactly that, and, and so then, you know, I was so terrified that all I could think was there gonna have to send a helicopter to lower a magnet, onto the top of the car to lift the car up and put it the right way round.

>Ricky: You used to read a lot of comics didn’t ya?

>Steve: Yeah.

>Ricky: Yeah

>Steve: So, you know what I started doing?

>Ricky: What?

>Steve: Crying.

>Ricky: Did you really?

>Steve: Yeah.

>Ricky: Why?

>Steve: Just started crying, just slightly, started getting upset and the other guy that the girl fancied, he had to get into the driving seat and sort it out for me…

>Ricky: Oh no.

>Steve: By slowly edging forward and backwards…

>Ricky: So that’s the worst bit of the whole story…

>Steve: Yeah, edging slowly back and forwards, he just sorted it out slowly, slowly, slowly, slowly worked the car back round and then we were off.

>Ricky: You were just gently weeping…

>Steve: Just gently weeping in the back…

>Ricky: While the bloke had just taken the bird that you saw from a distance, that was basically your wife in your head by then, wasn’t it, I can’t believe it.

>Steve: We were happily married with a pig for a child.

Steve would've definitely been a red pill or /r9k/ regular if such things existed when he was young.

You only have to listen to him talking about wanting to wear bow ties and fedoras when he was young to try and make girls think he was sophisticated.

He was ahead of his time since that would've been in the 90s.

>>89549613
I like the parts where ricky reveals hes actually kind of ignorant himself. Sometimes when he's just sorta handwaving away why something Karl says is wrong, getting the conclusion correct but revealing that he actually doesn't know why it's correct.

One thing I remember is when karl said they should put a mirror on the moon, but it would still be too small to see without a telescope. Ricky mocked him on the basis that it would be too far away and what about when the moon was facing away. Karl asked if the moon rotates and Ricky just laughed at him incredulously.

Except the moon actually always has the same side facing us. And astronauts did put a series of mirrors on the moon, for experiments with lasers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Laser_Ranging_experiment

Ricky is or was quite a fan of science so I think he always thought he knew better. He does come across was an idiot a lot though when he dismisses stuff just because it's come out of Karl's mouth.

yeah exactly

"fans" of science are like people who subscribe to "I fucking love science" and uncritically absorb any dumb popsci article that crosses their line of sight. people who think that because they have faith in science instead of fairies or cloudgods that means they're smart.

to be fair, science gets results, and you're more likely to be right if you put their faith in that instead of whatever was written in the bible or whatever, but that's just one tiny instance of critical thinking that tries to paper over a massive amount of intellectual laziness. "Look at all these dumb sheeple who believe in god! I'm smarter than 85% of people in the world!" Meanwhile if popular science published an article describing how dinosaurs could actually breathe fire you'd have them believing in dragons in a hot second.

>>89552900

To be fair though, people believe all sorts of shit they are told until they are proven wrong.

You and I both no doubt have a number of "facts" we think are true, but are in fact false.

Elephants are the only mammal that can't jump.

Is that true? I dunno probably. I have no reason to doubt it. I'm going to check as soon as I'm done posting.

But that's my point. Everyone has these notions that are put forward as fact that are in reality bollocks.

The difference I guess with the whole "hurr faith in science" thing is that if you show someone that the "science fact" they thought was true is infact a crock of shite, they'll probably change their tune.

You can't expect people to hold absolutely no erroneous beliefs, only that they change their tune if you point out they're talking shit.

So there's this, er... really powerful.. flying bloke. Has proper superpowers an' the like. Invincible. He goes around the world, rescuin' those in distress. And there's this.. other superhero, who's jelous of 'im. He's like "Oh.. can't be doin' with this. I do all the work here, fighting the baddies, and he comes in from space and takes over." So he, eh.. makes a deal, with this millionaire. They kidnap the bloke's mum, righ'? An' that makes him.. come to them. "What have you done to me mum!" An' the other two, they say that, y'know, he's out of line, and the two superheroes fight... but like, eh, they fight for a while, and stop.. because the superheroes realise, they have the same mum. An' they were.. sort of, long lost brothers. And then, the invincible superhero? He dies.

Gervais and Merchant are totally committed to busting Karl's balls because that's the premise of the show. This is why they won't let up on the smallest things. There are times when Gervais backs off because he can see things aren't going in a funny enough direction. It's a form of improv comedy.

>>89558844
I did say that science beats the bible, didn't I? my issue is with people who think uncritically reading "I fucking love science" means they're smart. Yeah they're gonna get plenty of true stuff in there with the nonsense, but because they have a false notion of their own intelligence they go around smugly shutting down inarticulate idiots like Karl even when they have the occasional legitimate point. On the average, they're right more often than the Karls of the world, but not as much as they think.

I'm not at all a religious or "spiritual" person, but going back to the atheist thing, you know that ricky gervais, in the same period he was doing the podcast, did a standup special with a lengthy bit where he debunked noah's ark? beyond just being hacky, its just obnoxious to take down the tiny fraction of sheltered idiots who are biblical literalists and go around pretending to be smarter than the majority of the world's population who is religious in some way. Maybe it rubs me the wrong way because when I was young I was definitely an edgy little proselytizing atheist myself, and a "science fan" to boot. Luckily that transferred to a love of actual science, and guess what? when I was in school I was surprised to know tons of really smart people who were incidentally religious. not "secret atheists who pretend for the benefit of others" but people who like go to church or mosque or whatever every week, because they get something out of it.

>>89551427
Enough of Karl comes out in non-scripted context that, yeah, he sort of plays a character version of himself with things like Monkey News, but it's mostly ad-lib. And the personality of the guy behind the ad-lib is still appealing.

It's like the difference between a good comic and a bad comic telling similar jokes.

>>89560319
>Enough of Karl comes out in non-scripted context that, yeah, he sort of plays a character version of himself with things like Monkey News, but it's mostly ad-lib

Its more evident in the podcast, where you get more of them discussing segment ideas and the like, where karl demonstrates that he actually is a decent producer who understands what makes an entertaining show. he's not a genius by any means, but he definitely plays things up a bit for the benefit of making things entertaining.

I just wish he would feel better about his contributions to the world. Sure hes not a heart surgeon, but he makes a lot of people happy and I wish that could make him feel good.

>>89560251
>tiny fraction of sheltered idiots who are biblical literalists

It's really NOT a tiny fraction and I think anyone who grew up around religious people will recognize this for the laughable internet apologist propaganda that it is. The majority of Christians believe that most of the Bible is literally true. Yes, that includes Catholics. Just because priests and more "intellectual" believers are into abstract theology that apologizes away the obvious stupid bullshit in the Bible doesn't mean those distinctions filter down to the general population of believers. Go take a poll of Christians asking if Noah's ark was real, your stupid propaganda will be shot to hell.

>>89560712
Nah its the minority. Even in America, where it's most prevalent (biblical literalism is an american invention). Just double-checked because you seemed so confident. Bigger minority than I thought, I'll give you that.
