It’s been awhile since we’ve had our Karl Pilkington fix. I have to say I didn’t realize how much I’ve missed the lame-brained insights and off kilter-brain waves of Pilkington since Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant ceased the hilarious podcast. But now it seems a new documentary special (granted in the U.K.) intends to remedy that.
Part of me has never quite figured out whether Karl is really like that, or whether its all an act. On one hand he seems so geniune, but on the other, how could someone really be that dense? Perhaps this series will help shed light on the enigma that is Karl Pilkington.
Check out the trailer below.

This aired in the U.K. Monday night, so hopefully it will turn up online.
What? I missed Carl Pilkington? I was having some bitters with some clients just off London Bridge, so I guess that is a good substitute, but I hope they re-air this while I’m still around. I’ve seen ads for his new book, “Happy Slapped by a Jellyfish, and Other True Stories,” all over the underground.
Wow.. I want to watch this.
I watched this show last night. Not bad.. I really can’t tell if Carl is actually like this or a comedic genius. Basically he just hangs out with a bunch of people who are supposed to be “smart” to find out if he is missing anything by being dim. He also meets with some british crackpot who claims he is the son of god…
Not necessarily laugh out loud funny but entertaining to watch Carl ride around London on a bmx bike.
