^ Life's too short was awesome. I found all of the old XFM shows (Ricky, Merchant, Pilkington). Some of the funniest stuff ever if you are a fan of their podcasts.

"I find it much more entertaining when Karl is actually enjoying himself."

Agreed. I said the same thing when we were watching the Africa episode.

2/20/2012 7:47:37 PM

Haha it seems like each episode of this season so far has at least one part that makes me laugh so hard that I cry. This week's one was when he was walking and started falling down and tried to grab the tree.

2/20/2012 8:56:36 PM

the route 66 episode has been the best by far, many many lols to be had

2/26/2012 12:19:43 PM

Since when do Amish people have homes with screen doors and gutters

2/26/2012 2:28:29 PM

aha, didnt notice that. I did feel that something about the amish scene wasnt right, like it was faked, but not certain why I thought that. something about the way they reacted to his questions seemed...odd.

like how would that lady have known that most of the world doesnt like mushy peas if she's been living in isolation her whole llife

2/26/2012 2:55:32 PM

I don't think Amish are isolationists are they?

2/26/2012 5:23:18 PM

Well they don't have TV's, radios or computers. They grow their own food and make their own clothes. They build their own houses and farms. They aren't technically isolationist as in shunning contact with the outside world, but they definitely have no need to as they take care of their needs on their own. I would think contact with anyone non-amish and non-media related is very very minimal.

Amish folks still sell fruit/vegetables/goods to non-Amish folks, I've seen them doing so before. It's possible that they may have just been unsuccessful selling their mushy peas.

2/26/2012 7:30:55 PM

makes sense, it wasn't just that, it was the whole interaction. I dunno, can't put my finger on it but something about it seemed fake.


anyway the gold mining, monster truck and plane scene were fantastic

2/26/2012 7:53:01 PM

Oh yeah the gold mining dude... I love how he answers the door and has three handguns on him already. I do find it surprising though that Karl was willing to climb up onto the top of that plane in mid flight but he wouldn't bunjee jump. He didn't even look strapped in or hooked on to anything when he was climbing it.

don't forget each amish persons sojourn into the connected world during Rumspringa. Perhaps she witnessed first hand the dislike everyone has for mushy peas while drinking and smoking and having unprotected sex

2/27/2012 9:17:55 AM

A lot of good moments in that episode but I think my favorite was his face when she was talking about people getting erections during cuddling. Overall I like this season better but they're both pretty awesome.

2/27/2012 9:33:24 AM

That tumor shit on Life's Too Short had me rolling

2/27/2012 10:26:22 AM

The Glee performance was pretty damn funny and yes, his face during the cuddle party was priceless

2/27/2012 12:23:45 PM

^^yes! and the johnny depp bit was hilarious as well

2/27/2012 1:18:05 PM

new Ricky Gervais Show tomorrow night

4/19/2012 10:48:37 PM

Idiot Abroad series 3 wasn't good at all.

12/16/2012 11:52:00 PM

At all?

I saw a few clips that looked funny.

12/17/2012 8:56:49 AM

I thought it was funny. too short though. no pun intended.

12/17/2012 10:28:49 AM

I didn't find it funny at all really. There were a few chuckle worthy moments, but nothing close to the first 2 series. A lot of the humor from the first one was due to Karl being so out of place and being forced to interact with people that he wouldn't normally be around, and I don't know if it was just because he was so used to it by now, or because he had Warrick to pal around with or a combination of both, but there just wasn't as many opportunities for those awkward moments that made the first 2 series so great.

12/17/2012 1:33:13 PM

dammit, whats the name of this one/time and channel it comes on? had no idea about season 3 and dvr didnt catch it

[Edited on December 17, 2012 at 1:39 PM. Reason : or has it only been broadcast in the uk so far?]

12/17/2012 1:35:12 PM

From what I can tell it's only aired in the UK. It usually airs on National Geographic here.

12/17/2012 1:49:01 PM

makes sense, airs on science channel here but nothing showing on friday. oh well

12/17/2012 2:14:11 PM

Looks like Jan 19th on the Science Channel.

12/17/2012 2:24:52 PM

this weekend, sweet.

1/18/2013 2:55:30 PM

Warwick Davis is an asshole.

1/18/2013 2:56:46 PM

napolean complex

1/18/2013 3:24:39 PM

really like Hello Ladies

10/11/2013 12:00:10 AM

^^^Huh? He seems pretty well-adjusted considering he's a small person. Karl is the asshole, although more of a mopey asshole.

10/11/2013 12:34:13 AM

anyone watched Derek?

Karl Pilkington is a solid actor

10/11/2013 4:59:50 AM

^ this

Always loved Pilkington. Going to finally start watching an idiot abroad.

12/1/2013 9:33:28 PM

Karl has a new show that you can torrent called The Moaning of Life. the second episode was amazing.

12/2/2013 12:20:37 PM

^It will be premiering on TV in January on the Science Channel if you don't feel like downloading.

12/2/2013 1:56:07 PM

BUMP! Fans of Karl Pilkington rejoice, his new show "The Moaning of Life" will be airing on the Science Channel tomorrow night.

thanks

1/17/2014 2:18:02 PM

Thanks for the heads up. I had not heard anything about it. Love me some Karl.

1/17/2014 3:29:16 PM

aired in the UK a long time ago - pretty funny but nowhere near as good as an idiot abroad

1/17/2014 4:03:40 PM

not sure October is a long time ago, but yeah, it's pretty awesome

1/18/2014 11:33:58 AM

don't see this mentioned anywhere in this thread so apologies if it's a repost, but S1-3 of An Idiot Abroad are now on Netflix
