  • Do We Need 'Em was a feature where Karl would interview a scientist/animal expert and ask them if the world really needs a particular animal, usually by trying to back them into a corner and convince them that the animal in question "doesn't do anything".
    Karl ended the feature after four installments as he was convinced that scientists were conspiring against him and would never agree to rid the world of any animal.

    I love the fact that the theme song has absolutely NOTHING to do with the feature itself.
    "Let's listen to a bit of smooth jazz music before deciding if we can wipe off some species from the face of the Earth."

      It's the theme music from 'Parkinson' , a chat show that used to be on TV in the UK. Parkinson / Pilkington ... get it? Dolt!

    I think the flaw in this show is asking an expert on an animal if we need them or not. I think they’re gonna be a bit biased 😂
