An Idiot Abroad; Show I found on netflix

This show is so funny! It orignally aired on Sky1.... It was created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant and starring Karl Pilkington. The ongoing theme of the tv series and I guess a book series as well... is that Pilkington has no interest in global travel, so Merchant and Gervais make him travel while they stay in the United Kingdom and give the guy hell...

they set up all these events... like "swim with the dolphins in austraila!" but they change it to sharks... and dont tell him till he gets on the boat... plus they plan all kinds of crazy things to happen before he makes it to the boat.

Each season they have a different theme... season one.. it was visting the wonders of the world... and after all the crap they put him through... he swore he wasnt doing another season.... season 2 is about doing things most people have on their bucket lists...

This show really amuses me... I like Karl way better then I like Rickey Gervais... who I really cant stand that much. I have no Idea who Stephen merchant is..

If you havent seen this show... check it out on netflix!

Stephen Merchant is just another UK actor/writer/comedian as I understand it. He's been with Gervais for ages. Pilkington is groundbreakingly stupid, & I find I laugh more at him than because of him. I seem unable to separate his presence on this show from how he was treated by Merchant & Gervais on their former show, the animated Ricky Gervais show, which was basically derived from podcasting about how monumentally stupid Karl is. There's funny moments on both, but how long can you watch a stupid man's unscripted stupidity?

Apparently I can watch that a lot. Hes kind of endearing on this show... sure he says things I dont agree with... but hes still funny.. and I think his facial expressions are dumber than he actually is... but I could be wrong. I think is idiocy is more of a stage thing... like lady gaga wearing a meat suit... it sells for him.

You probably won't like it, because Gervais is in full blown asshole mode sometimes, but check out some of the podcast. Pilkington, to my reckoning a legitimate moron. lol

Say what you will about Gervais being a douche, because he is, but the guy can make a buck out of anything
