Pro tip: Shakespeare isn't old english, he's early modern english. This is a sentence in old english: Hwæt! We Gardena in geardagum, þeodcyninga, þrym gefrunon, hu ða æþelingas ellen fremedon.
@@Glassandcandy Okay, so I understood the first word... still counts for something right? I thought the other 4 words were "We garden in the garden" smh I understood the first one cos it looks like a British word that basically means the same thing!
The CB segment always makes me think of They Might Be Giants' song "Rabid Child". Rabid child stays at home, talks on a CB...Truckers pass calling out their handles to the kid...
Thank you for defending us, my friend! You're a good one! You wouldn't believe how tired I am of being slagged off just for being American. I love learning about other countries and don't appreciate people calling me ignorant/stupid/fat when I said nothing mean to them and they've never even seen/met me. I hate how many of the people on the internet use this ability to connect with other people around the world to simply insult their countries and create bad stereotypes. Such a waste :(
It's in season 2 episode 38. Ricky uses the same line of "he either works in a prison or he has sex a lot..." Seems almost scripted, especially as they change John's profession to working in a DIY shop in this one.
An estate is what we call our projects. It refers to poorly-designed, densely populated collections of housing for poor people where crime and poverty and social deprivation are rife. I don't know which US city I'd compare Manchester to. It's a former industrial city that went through terrible deprivation in the 70s and 80s but has begun to reinvent itself. It's probably our Chicago.
At the last winter olympics, the driver of the Dutch bobsled team cancelled during qualification due to depression and anxiety: he was afraid of gliding the competition course.At that moment they were ranked somewhere between 15th and 5th place.
by growing up on an estate he means he grew up on a council estate, which is generally where people from working class backgrounds live, but they used to quite have close-knit communities. i don't really know what mississippi is like but manchester isn't exactly the most pleasant place.
Yes, it's not a separate language. But see, the English language has different subcategories. The two larger ones are British English and American English. British English spells "colour", while, rather, American English spells it "color". There's minor differences, such as that, between the different subcategories of the English language.
Yeah the other replies are correct, you can trust their answers, i live near manchester, it's nothing special but loads of people live there and growing up on an estate means just a typical family with average or below average wage (usually).
Actually... American English is a hell of a lot closer to British English than it is to "Old English". I think you meant Middle English and/or Early Modern English even then AmEn and BrEn are very close. AmEn got a huge influence from immigrants as did BrEn. Modern English is a stew anyway... it is a Romance(Latin&Norman)-Germano(AnglicDanishNorse)-Celtic(Insular and also Gaulish) mishmash. To others: there is really no point arguing who is better. Languages evolve. Feckin deal wif et.
They went faster because he was lighter and smaller than the last one. The drive force of a bobsled is gravity, how would that possibly make them faster?! They would be slower, significantly slower. Otherwise all Bobsled teams would be comprised of Jockeys.
"aw, I wanted Pilky01"
The nostril 👃🏻breathing mad this better
they go... a'ight?
Gets me everytime!
"There was Fred the Veg"
"I assume that's because he had the same IQ as you"
i absolutely lost it when he tried to do the monkey news jingle and couldn't finish because he was laughing too hard. classic ricky

I "understood" the first five words. The rest is basically gibberish to me, other than the fact that I know "þ" sounds like "th".
@@yusufthegreat1232 are you so sure you understood the first five words? Because those translate to “hail! We have heard of the spear-Danes”
@@Glassandcandy Okay, so I understood the first word... still counts for something right? I thought the other 4 words were "We garden in the garden" smh

Apparently lorry drivers in Manchester in the 1980s drove on the right side of the road.
The CB segment always makes me think of They Might Be Giants' song "Rabid Child".
Rabid child stays at home, talks on a CB...Truckers pass calling out their handles to the kid...
"Karl is an artist, he sees the world different than us" - Ricky Gervais.
. . yeh, but what's art about that
Plato, Socrates, Einstein, Pilkington..
Any would be an equally rich experience..
"How many candles you burning?!"
Ask my houemate every day!

In one of the old XFM shows he said John The Screw was a cabbie, not worked in a DIY shop.
*****
I'm not sure, I just know it was in one of the early xfm shows from like 2002

Perhaps he changed profession?
@@LPSoulja3 the conspiracy thickens. Or they forgot they did the gag after years doing the show. Perhaps Karl forgot the right details.
@@bendudley2387a DIY shop wouldn’t fix cars, it would sell things to do DIY with like tools.
I legit LOL'ed when ricky screwed the jingle up hahaha!
The neck brace part just killed me. Loool
To someone who grow up with the internet the ham radio thing makes perfect sense to me.
Seven year old comment and I still can’t stop myself from pointing out that CB and Ham radio are different 😂
Why is it a problem if I like TV shows, movies, and music from other countries?
what episode is this ?
Actually HBO is an American cable network. I'm also British but credit were its due.
1:34 That short, stumpy character (in the background) was also used in the KP Plumbing sketch.
hahahaha how many candles are you buurning... whaats your twenty... can i jst confirm that your burning 15... hahahha
4:46 how many candles are you burning?, what’s your 20?
1:43 jimmy three legs
An "estate" is like what we in the US would call a housing project, correct?
Food-age, Webb-age, Grip-age.
whats your twenty, how many candles are you burning? Geniuses!
"eludes" you, genius.
COOL RUNNINGS!
Steves laugh at 1:39 ahaha! :')
"Side on bring it in" and they'd go: "alright".

9:15 i love when ricky gets fed up hahahahahha
Amazing.....Karl is a sage.
Side on, bring it in!
Awrite?
I hope pilky03 is still available

Yep, in the legal world that's the same: loads of words in modern US English are as was used in bygone times here.
lmao.
World of Windbags, is what I was thinking.
Did you get that from Karl?
he would be a great grandpa for bedtime stories....
5:11 XD I died laughing
That is one thing. Two at most.
by growing up on an estate he means he grew up on a council estate, which is generally where people from working class backgrounds live, but they used to quite have close-knit communities. i don't really know what mississippi is like but manchester isn't exactly the most pleasant place.
4.38 omg thats funny xD
CUZ HE WAS RIGHT "ARMDED".way to go
that's true, i never said it didn't.
side on bring it in, right, and they go, 'alright'.
I probably did mean that - I'm in no way an expert.
the bobsledders look like there from the jetsons
Actually Tesla did, circa 1930-- feel free to check out his patents for wireless data transfer technology.
Either way, I love Karl Pilkington.
Yes tape
The third guy is the Stig

An "estate" refers to a council estate. Local authority publically-funded housing.
side on. bring it in
Alright?

yeah, thanks for focusing on my point. :) (btw, i never said i didnt swear.)
And then you'd go... aight? lol
same question I asked
4.38 om thats funny xD
but when they say i'm at such and such a place surely they would figure out that your 20 is where u are durrr LOL
I feel like "Jimmy the Hat" might have something to do with the phrase "Jimmy hat".
@yasminezeidan Love this show, im so glad its on every tuesday lol

5:10 my fucking sides lmfao
if he says he's boxer boy, n that, Tell him !
LOL boxer boy
1:33 bob from kp plumbing!
listening to karl talk is soo funny but soo fuckin frustrating at the same time haha
ha being American I didnt even notice
i think it's sort of like the the projects in america.
and growing up on an estate means you're probably streetwise. Can be rough stuff.
Just in case anyone was wondering, I'm burning 17 candles.
YOU DON'T SAY?!
The cartoons really top this off

Ricky is obviously out of the loop. Not a hard code to break but yet old Rick didn't break it, Karl had to tell him!
Tattoo stan looks like duke nuken crossed with karl! lol
Ah. A scientific rebuttal.
thats only one thing :)
Lol
Here comes Jimmy three legs.
WHY DYOU CALL HIM THAT?
He hasn't got three legs.
5:10
Check out the Falls song "im into CB".. always think of that when i hear Pilkers on about his CB
/watch?v=LnunhozizjM
@ChristopherDone Of course. Just like the little hairy fella that overtook someone on a little tricycle innit
Why is the DIY shop a mechanics?!
Don’t tell the paramedics how to do it’
Grippage is the best
@TheSirMittens side on?
how can you watch this when famine and tape happen
Ignorance is bliss. Therefore Karl is a Happy guy
alright.
Estate = Projects
why is a DIY shop animated as a mechanic's garage?
@amanda10003 Side on, bring it in! LOL
