My new favorite show this year. Ricky Gervais sends his mentally challenged colleague around the world to intermingle with their culture as an elaborate practical joke.

shits funny as hell...havent seen the 3rd one yet

"Why do they call this the great wall anyways? Its more like the Alright Wall of China"

I don't really get it.

did you watch the show or do you just not understand the premise?

I put it on and it was just some guy being disgusted by things and then he calls gervais who just cackles unintelligibly on the phone.

you have to watch it from the beginning of the episode or else it doesnt make sense really. although you're probably better off just not bothering.

This show is hilarious

When they are eating the toads and he tries to distract them by yelling THE BABY'S CHOKING!

i love when he tries breaking the sword over his head like the Kung Fu master and finally gives up after like 8 attempts.

When that monk or whatever hurls the needle through the glass then Karl tries and nails the cameraman was so fucking hilarious. The monk shit was the best. "I don't know my own strength. I might really hurt this guy."

Also when the guys eating the fetus and the chicks eating the scorpions. Shit was disgusting

Best show on tv right now. Karl Pilkington is fucking hilarious.

watching the ricky gervais show and getting more of a background on Karl is making this show that much more amazing. wow.

Agreed. I love karl's diary on the ricky gervais show. Also, there's a new episode on demand where he goes to mexico. Definitely the best one yet.

you mean the episode where he spends his entire time in that country seriously looking for mexican jumping beans?

Hahaha yea and he eats the tequila worm. And also when hes being chased by the fireworks

Season 2 is a "Bucket List." They force Karl this time to choose from a list of 100 things other people want to do before they die. Further hilarity ensues.

i enjoy this show as well as life's too short. gervais is good at making shows, although i could never get into the uk version of the office. british humor is hit or miss with me.
