Why is everyone assuming that he predicted Black Mirror, or that they stole his ideas? Couldn't it be that the movie or serie that was asking Karl for advice WAS Black Mirror?
ahhh as if someone else picked up on that too, when i saw black mirror i was like no fucking way did charlie brooker rip off karl pilkington that's hilarious.
Rickys "brilliant" at 16:08 is the same energy, absolutely bewildered. And the guy telling the story totally misses the sarcasm and keeps plowing on like Ricky actually thinks he's struck gold lmfao
The Cinematic Mind this is his second Black Mirror prediction! The other was his idea that there’d be a doctor who could feel the pain of his patients. Amazing!
Interesting to hear how Steve and Ricky play-up the idea and relentlessly push it along. You can see how they wrote one of the best comedies of recent times (The Office). A rare moment for a person (Karl) to have such attention from two masters at the peak of their creativity. Unknown to any of them they would soon have the resources to easily make such a film. I actually wish they did make it exactly as described (flaws included), would have been a legendary moment in time, and probably a hit film to be fair.
