Karl Pilkington: Auf der Suche nach dem Sinn des Lebens

One of the best shows I've seen. Karl is interesting, insightful, funny and witty. He is the kind of guy I would like to have a beer with and shoot the Sh#t. Keep up the good work. Not sure what else can be said about the show, other than I like it and now I can't post this until I come up with ten lines minimum that I must fill with meaningless words. Anyhow I like the show and can't really say too much more. My hand is getting tired of typing because I have arthritis in one hand from too much use over the years. I did buy one of Karl's books, this was entitled "To Slap a Jelly Fish", Karl put to pen his many very funny thoughts. The book was mainly about his childhood and the places he visited.

After watching "An Idiot Abroad", I wanted to see more of Karl's adventures, so I binge-watched "The Moaning of Life" in one afternoon and I gotta tell you - it's even better than what I've expected. In this series, Karl explores five important aspects of life (marriage, happiness, kids, vocation & money and death) as they are dealt with in different cultural contexts. Karl is a bit more relaxed and in a better mood than during the filming of AIA, since he decided where to go, who to meet and what to do. This is a sort of popular anthropology as it is amusing, educational and philosophical at the same time. I share some of Karl's views on marriage and children, so it was fun to watch his musings. It seemed to me that I would probably experience those situations in a similar way as Karl. Too bad that there are only five episodes, I would really like to see more of Karl.

Well as that summary says this is officially my first ever (of many i hope) review on something on IMDb.com and boy what an honor it is to review this wonderful mans work! I think this is one fantastic show BOTH seasons so far are so hilarious and had both me and my partner literally crying with laughter. I think its amazing how he voices his opinions in a funny and yet serious way and is still able to keep a straight face (most the time! ha ha)

I love how he goes into details with things (especially season one) in each episode because it gives us - the people who haven't had children or got married etc - a good sight on what it COULD be like etc to have babies, get married, be rich, be poor etc (i'm hoping this isn't a spoiler as I've not actually said what happens)

I am hoping he carries on to do more seasons for this show, not sure what he can do for each season but hey, i'm pretty sure he will think of something.

I could go on and write about Karl Pilkington forever but i shall leave it at that as i have wrote about what i think of this show! Again it was an honor, what a wonderful, brilliant and funny man! Keep up the amazing work Karl! =)

Only discovered Karl this year in lockdown. Where has he been all my life? He's hilarious so down to earth. He's right cheered me up in lockdown

I was a big fan of the Idiot Abroad series and was super thrilled to see that Karl is back. This time he is fumbling his way around the world learning about different cultural rites of passage like marriage. I enjoy how Karl views the world. He is unabashedly himself and is naturally hilarious. He questions why we do things like have a big marriage ceremony - is it really necessary? What is the point of pomp and circumstance for merely a moment in time? Karl is a philosopher of this generation. No doubt about it. I'm a huge fan and appreciate him in all his cranky glory. Ricky Gervais was a genius in discovering Karl and introducing him to the world. He truly is unique in today's very artificial culture of celebrity fandom. Karl cuts through the bs and says what a lot of us are thinking.
