Ross (3284 KP) rated The Ricky Gervais Podcast in Podcasts
Jan 5, 2018
I think I was a bigger fan of Gervais before I listened to this podcast (and subsequently watched the various Karl Pilkington TV shows). I loved The Office, and some of his films. Some of his stand-up was funny. But here (as with the Pilkington shows) he just shows a nasty bitterness and bullying towards people that is not really entertaining. The best of the podcast is how Karl Pilkington reacts to it, but even then we know he is funny without that happening. This has really put me off Gervais quite a lot and I now see him as a "silly little fat man" who is just a spiteful bully.
Leah Lopez (7 KP) rated An Idiot Abroad: The Travel Diaries of Karl Pilkington in Books
Nov 6, 2019
A Laugh-Out-Loud travel book. The sole purpose is to send Karl Pilkington around the Seven Wonders of the world-to broaden his mind. From the very first page Karl did what Karl does, moan. But that is why is he is so well loved because he does not hold back on his feelings. If he hates something or someone he will say. The points he make are Laugh Out Loud, but usually true. All round good light-hearted-book.
