Pilkington's podcasts, along with Ricky Gervals, are hysterical, mang! They were bought by HBO and made into a cartoon (art work reminiscent of the Flintstone's style animation).

I'm sorry but I find Ricky Gerbil one of the least funny people on the planet, and for him to say his pet retard is "The funniest man alive in Britain today" is more than probably an offense under the disabled discrimination act.

IMDO.

;D

yeah, i gave up also, after the second episode. i remain a gervais fan, however, because the BBC 'The Office' was wonderful.
I would never watch the US version.

It's funny how people can have so much in common, yet when it comes to opinions about entertainment, we're so diverse. Whether it be comedy, drama, porn (yes - porn), individual tastes never seem to be shared much further that our spouses (partners, whatever).  Many movies my friends have recommended to me have either been silly, or obtuse, and vice versa.  Maybe it's the mood we're in when we watch it, dunno...

i agree, hominid. things i loved on tv were 'ROME' 'Game Of Thrones' 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' which reminds me of me and everyone i know for some reason.

I loved watching the first two seasons of An Idiot Abroad! It was amazing watching someone SO unlike myself go to all these awesome places that I've been to or are planning on going to, if only to think to myself 'I'm going to do the exact opposite of  what Karl does'.
