The chemical elements needed to make washing detergent have been found on Mars, translated in Karls memory to "They've found a washing machine on Mars"
Deep Dish Dolphin You have never been to a college if you think the will is to research for the sake of the publics knowledge, the will is to research to have a grant, funding, and personal security of their belief system and income.
Lens Perspective 1) wrong comment dude 2) thanks for the info, kinda just assumed (you were right, I haven’t been to college yet but I’m getting close)
That's too bad Karl feels like he doesn't really do anything with his life. I have pretty bad issues with getting blue or feeling lonely and every time I'm down I just find me some Karl and he gives me such a good laugh, he helps me get through the rough times. I bet he helps a lot of folks who need laughter in their lives.
It's moments like that when I kinda feel sorry for Karl. He almost certainly has a learning disability. He has no reading comprehension and lacks focus enough to listen when he's being told something. His brain is full of thoughts he cannot articulate. He has an imagined understanding of the world around him that has nothing to do with reality. And he has almost no ability to relate to human beings.
Learning disability? Nah. He can learn things just fine. He is just not that intelligent or book smart, but he has practical intelligence (as in, learn by doing not by reading). And he has imagination but his ability to relate to human beings is hindered by his lack of information and experience. He doesn't lack focus, he just gets overwhelmed and overly focused sometimes. He thinks very deeply and quite clearly about things, but he doesn't think very "widely". He starts with wrong assumptions, so he comes to the wrong conclusions. He is your average joe, misinformed, he read something somewhere and might be misremembering it (like that washing machine on Mars thing. The article said that the rover has the weight of the washing machine) and has opinion about it. Like in another episode, "Why would anybody in Africa want a goat? They don't have food or water anyway and they would need to feed it, innit?" The wrong assumptions are: What does goat eat? It probably eats everything like humans do. So why would you want to have a goat? The right information is: They have grass and water in Africa, grass is not edible for humans but it is for goats. Goats produce milk which is edible for humans. Thus, it is a way to solve the hunger problem. But Karl is focused on his own experience. "I don't need goat, I wouldn't want to get goat for Christmas, why would anybody want to get one?"
I always get slightly frustrated when I know what Karl is talking about but he just can't explain it to Ricky and Steve. Like, thinking in your accent.
I used to hear myself when I think, and I'll probably listen for it again, but it's been a long time. You can even change the voice for a different effect as well. Ricky has a really low tolerance for what he deems unfactual, and it shows.
Karl’s just talking about your internal monologue, like when you’re reading. Ricky’s wrong, its not a dialogue where a voice goes “Hey, look at that”, instead you just essentially say something in your head. Also, it bugs me when Ricky yells at Karl for having weird ideas and not having the scientific explanation for how the ideas would work. Karl just imagines stuff or poses hypotheticals, he doesn’t have to justify it. If a kid told Ricky that clouds reminded him of of mashed potatoes, and wondered what it would be like if they were made of potatoes, Ricky would rip into them for being so silly and unrealistic. He’s so literal.
@@spencerraney4979 i think you're forgetting that this is a grown man his talking to not a kid xD also he is on a talk show with his mate who's speaking all this nonesense, try to imagine you self there.. how much Karl is enough Karl irl , i'd laugh my ass off too
@@theshamanite Nah. Ricky is just making fun of Karls way of formulating his own thoughts. It does not make it better when Karl's trying to go down the road anyway even though his formulations are bad. It's like a kid trying to stand his place even though he's wrong. Problem is.... Karl is a grown ass man. :D
Right about what? Camels not needing humps? Worms being capable of cognitive thinking? Fishes having more rights? He is so fundamentally wrong on almost everything and just plain doesn't understand anything remotely complex. Just because you like someone, you shouldn't give such inaccurate credit.
Not only is Karl wrong most of the time, the level of each 'wrongness' is often jaw-dropping in its idiocy. Add to that the arrogance of clinging on to an opinion that started forming seconds before (as he kept his mouth talking) and you have a profoundly wrong guy. Even if we agreed that Karl was 50/50 right/wrong, his idiocy around space and space travel alone is enough to want to find him and force him to read a children's book about the planets, the Apollo program, NASA etc. Hell, even 'dishwasher on Mars' is worthy of a clip across the ear.
@@1who4me that's not true watch any other interview with him or podcast where you can watch them talking he takes it all serious and isn't trying to be funny, you hardly see him laugh even on an idiot abroad
A friend of a friend of mine (John Woolf) has recently written a book about Victorian freaks, that Karl would absolutely adore, cos it’s about all the things that Karl mentioned. John Woolf actually has a PhD in Victorian Freak Shows. Can you imagine how many questions Karl would ask him??
Karl's idea of a watch that counts down to your death actually sounds like it could be the plot to an episode of The Twilight Zone. I'll give him props for that concept
Part 3 tonight guys! Just a heads up, the video is about 1 hour 40 minutes long (as oppose to the usual 1 hour) just because it was so hard to cut down the 7 episodes it was comprised of because they were all gold. Make of that what you will, but be sure to enjoy!
I must be an idiot, because Karl is a genius. Seriously, his questions are really good. Never thought about my thought-accent. Wonder what mine is... Cause, I can't really think right now without forcing an accent... I must try this.
Thatguy7242 Yeah he's not the best with words, but think about what he's saying. His outlook is so different from the norm that most wouldn't even think about what he's saying. But, humanity has always dismissed the words of the wise as folly.
❤It doesn't matter how many times I listen to these shows,I crack up so hard and loud, it feels good in my soul! I am truly thankful for Ricky's unselfishness and sharing the comedic genius of Carl. Most Stars, especially comediennes, would never want anyone to outshine them in funniness. Ricky is so sure of his own talent that he doesn't get jealous, he really enjoys Carl and his wild brain. I adore Ricky Gervais, he is such a sweet and funny man! Love from Paris, Pia Paradis Muah!💄💋❤
To be honest, this is the best possible test to check if a woman is the one. If she's up for taking all of your shit and still loving you. Just wake her up 'accidentally' at 6 AM on the weekend and ask if you've told her about the immune system. It's like the Bronx story woman check 2.0
12:00 mum had one of the paintings of a child crying, after she passed away I became the custodian of the painting. The painting used to creep me out when I was a child. I'm in my 40's now and the painting is still just as creepy. It's always there, always watching and always crying.........
Dankest Eevee the reasons why my mum had one of the paintings was due to the fact that she lost her 1st born son at the age of 7 and the little boy featured in the painting reminded her of the child that she lost. That's why we have one of the paintings, I'm sorry but I have no idea why they were so popular with the rest of the people who had/have one of the images.....
+derp hr Completely agree man, things like this and If I Were You (Podcast by two comedians Jake and Amir) where it's simply people chatting and laughing really brighten up my day. Simply amazing for when you're feeling down! It's great to know people are enjoying them as that's the only reason I'm uploading them - I love sharing these three's genius with the world. Have a great day!
Ricky's idea that all stress and worry about death would disappear if everyone just died in their sleep is absolute madness. That would make me terrified to go to sleep.
Every time you wake up you'd have to run round checking if your loved ones were dead or not. Every day. That also means each time you go to sleep you'll have to potentially say goodbye forever to your family, just in case...
I agree with Karl in regards to the understanding a lion quote. Intellectuals conversing about obscure philosophers or astrophysics would be a lot harder to understand than listening to a lion talk about licking its bollocks and preying on antelope.
I would love to sit in on one of these, i bet the outtakes are funnier than the podcast. Some episodes you can hear how fucking raw rickys voice is from having a fucking aneurysm from karls stupidity. Gen. I. Us.
46:31 Ricky talks about some profound stuff that got me thinking. Imagine living a life without illnesses and diseases, peacefully dying in your sleep. It would be the most amazing thing. It is eventually going to happen with the help of medicine and technology, unfortunately we, probably, won't be around by then.
I had a cb back in those days and bizarrely my handle was Elephant Man. But no ladybreakers wanted an eyeball so I changed it to a 2000ad character called Stainless Steel Rat. Yeah like that was gonna work. Finally I settled on Pilkio 1 but some round headed twat challenged me to a boxing match. He sounded hard as nails so I went back to being penpals with myself. One nine for a copy
Part 4 coming very very soon. Again it's quite long, this time due to Kidney stone diary entries, and the happiness anecdotes towards the end. Plus the rare animated record of Karl laughing. You won't be disappointed, and if you are, you're an idiot. Play a record.
48:41 as usual, he’s right - this HAS happened. There are entire chunks of history where civilization was almost entirely erased. I believe one example is the library of Alexandria? What’s fascinating about Karl is that he thinks of these things without knowing it’s true.
Karl's theory about the safe streets is correct. If you've a load of areas in the city which are rough and you turn them into skateparks, gardens and historical landmarks or parks it becomes a tourist location reducing crime in the area.
Just think of the most famous internet meme! Now instead of it beeing on almost every computer, it was just a painting hanging in almost every house :X We are for sure weirder with our cat gifs then a crying boy lol
I don't know but I also think in my own accent. I think I would get a chock if I all of the sudden started thinking in a Scottish accent, and might not even understand everything I was thinking about.
I come here to think😁. Karl is actually a very quick, clever, uniquely, funny fella. What a brilliant show. Thé animation, The endless topics, The cups of coffee .....Such a good time😁. TY for posting. From the brilliant mind of Gervais.
When Karl was talking about modern cavemen, he was referencing the North Sentinelese people in the Andaman/Nicobar islands. Little has been determined of their language, and much of the data on them has been via observation. Weren't out of the Bronze Age until a shipwreck on their coast gave them access to metal, thereafter being used in the projectiles against helicopters.
I genuinely felt sorry for Karl when they were laughing at him after reading his diary entry about throwing away the letter addressed to Mr Dilkington. I don't know why.
