1:20:31 "I think it was in America. I'm guessing somewhere like Boston... that's what I imagine" "Well don't!" Karl takes creative liberties every time he speaks.
23:50 "it's not all verified" Karl: "... whatcha mean?" Dumbfounded at how Karl could not have understood that simple sentence, he just repeats it. Steve then has to help Karl out. Brilliant.
36:32 imagine how many thieving visits to the phone box Karl's scumbag dad would have to pay (as well as all the other shops he often stole from) to earn the equivalent.
40:27 hahahaha you can hear Karl smugly reaffirming the story when Steve reads the article about the "monkey working at a hairdresser's". Little flavourings of "there ya go", "mmm" and other gormless, inaudible Manc mutterings.
1:09:21 literally a totally different species. But in Karl's mind they're basically the same creature. His scally Manc parents have a LOT to answer for. Their son is a total moron.
It’s like Ricky knows that Karl and Steve have better radio chatter so he has to constantly chime in and cut them both off.,. But mostly cutting Karl off. It’s well irritating that he does that. SHUT IT! Jeeez. Let Karl speak you daft twonk!!
If it really was unscripted it’s pure genius and if it wasn’t it’s possibly better as it’s so difficult to make it appear unscripted. I think it remains Gervais best work, such intense creative energy.
Karl was never scripted. He is genuinely this much of a mentalist as well as that stupid. His head is really that round and his neighbour really did have a 'orse in 'er 'ouse. People from his area in Salford have even vouched for some of his insane stories on Reddit, amazingly.
1:03:47 Yet another staggering moment of stupidity from Karl. Of COURSE people who always wear glasses look odd without them on... because you've ONLY ever seen them wearing glasses! So it's hardly a surprise that they look odd without them on. Total buffoon.
26:29 it's genuinely unbelievable to me that, despite LITERALLY prefacing the story by discussing how these urban myths are always glaringly made up, Karl is still totally convinced and taken aback by it. What a completely inept little buffoon of a man. Then to make matters even worse he falls for it AGAIN A MERE ONE AND A HALF MINUTES LATER at 28:06!!!
I love how his whole thing is that his headlines tell the whole story without needing any more. "Vibrating shoes could help elderly falling" Isn't everyone (except Karl) who hears that headline going to ask "how?" All that headline does is make me want to know more, Karl thinks it's the whole story lol
