Idiot Abroad
Is idiot abroad real or is it all acting ? I think it's absolutly hilarous and always has me in stiches with his comments but I wonder how genuine it really is?

Off course alot of it is play acting up for the cameras. Although I do believe he probably has a persona like that. Otherwise they probably wouldnt have come up with the idea in the first place.
Quality program though if just for the insight into the places hes visited. |
Cracks me up that's for sure.
|
Have you been living in a cave rob? most is play acting saying that karl is a bit thick in real life.
|
It's got to a acting but funny as fook
|
Definitely scripted but still funny.
|
Thought you was going to say you was booking a holiday robsy.
|
ricky gervias is involved in this - so in the manner of the 'office'
|
Yes, it's only top gear that's live, spontaneous and completely non scripted.

Karl originally was Ricky Gervais' producer on xfm. If you get the older snippets of Ricky on xfm Karl started off making a comment every so often over time Karl actually became the reason people listened. Gervais exploited this by making the podcasts (much, much funnier than idiot abroad) which I think was/is the most successful podcast series.
Karl actually is that thick, well he actually has that slanted opinion on life. I'd imagine some is dressed up a little but gervais etc have actually been accused of scripting Karl since the xfm days. |
Monkey News!!!!!!!!!!
PMSL :D |
Lol, monkey news just showed Karl's insanity. I'm moving house and bloody threw "happy slapped by a jellyfish" in the bin 😪
|
I work with someone who knows Karl's family, and he is apparently just as he appears on telly :thumb:
Obviously the situations are set up by Gervais & Merchant to get the best out of him though :) I've never been a fan of Ricky Gervais, but I do like Idiot Abroad :thumb: |
Love the show - Can't wait for 3rd series
|
I think the 3rd series will be amazing. especially the little man
|
Yeah I have never found Gervais funny so never bothered watching it straight off but damn it is funny. And I must admit I do like Gervais & Merchants banter when they call his mobile "al right boy".
The one where the family have a hippo in the house. Karl is like "my dad wouldnt even let us have a dog in the house and they have a f****g hippo in the lounge" :) |
I dont think I have ever laughed as hard at the telly when Karl was wing walking.
