If you don’t know who Karl Pilkington is I’m not sure I can explain succinctly why he’s hilarious. That means you’ve never listened to Ricky Gervais podcast. You should remedy that, then return here. For those who are familiar…
I’m quite jealous of the damn Limies at the moment, for Sky1 will be airing, An Idiot Abroad, a 60-minute documentary in which everyone’s favorite ball-headed idiot sage, Karl Pilkington, is sent on a travelogue around the world… where he of course whinges about everything.
I look forward to this hitting DVD eventually. This teaser isn’t a laugh riot, but I don’t think the podcasts are very funny when broken down into soundbites either. Pilkington’s slothlike delivery needs room to breathe.
