The Moaning of Life

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! =)

This show is even better than Karl's last one. The insights are wonderful to watch as they unfold - evolve - grow. I loved his last series (An Idiot Abroad), with all the comedy. Karl has grown out of his distaste of all things foreign, not quite embraced those cultural differences, yet shows his courage to not only seek to understand the culture, explore the differences - more than that, through his experience - he attempts to apply his brand of practical culture in order to better understand those cultures around him. We all do it - but in his not so eloquent style, he helps us all work our way through it as he shows us how it could be done.

What this series does is take it to the next level, to give it that philosophical advantage, without missing the whole point - life and all the things we do are weird, wonderful, and most of all (most of the time) - funny. Great job and I expect it will continue with great success. Kudos.

To all the people familiar with Karl, from his dealings with a certain Mr Gervais & Mr Merchant, you probably wont need much of an intro on what to expect from Karl. To all the non believers or Karl virgins, it is really quite difficult to explain just how good the show is. It is basically just a normal guy being put into strange situations & putting his own thoughts out there, but Karl being Karl, it is these thoughts which make the show. The show is 3 episodes in so far & it's been superb, what i like about this series quite a lot, is that we are finally seeing a part of Karl hidden previously. Now he is the master of his own destiny so to speak in this one, he seems to be able to enjoy & appreciate the experiences & it really shows through on screen. Two examples of this, the dancing clown part & when he found 2 pizzas in the bin.

It really is a great show which as plenty of laughs. Well worth anyones time.

Hilariously funny sometimes, other times it's down right weird, like his seeming obsession with sitting on the toilet. However every now and again he hits the nail right on the head and says things that are bang-on right. Only he is one of a very small minority who actually has the guts to say it. Good on him !!! I wish a few more people had the guts to stand up and speak up against those people who abuse their positions of power and their money to keep the unfair status quo.

An idiot is bored with the meaninglessness of his existence and seeks to broaden his horizons in an attempt to become a better man. PSYCH! It's actually about a little roundy-headed, chimp-like Manch moron who is being paid handsomely to travel the world and seek out freakishly happy freaks in an attempt to understand why they seem so much happier than him. For example, the first episode sees Karl probing the human compulsion to get married. He's been in a relationship with the same woman for half his life and they've never tied the knot because he doesn't see the point. Can anyone in the world possibly change his outlook on what he's always considered to be the myth of so-called "Wedded Bliss"?

The only reason Karl Pilkington has agreed to make this "Travel Mockumentary", that could very vaguely be referred to as "An Idiot Abroad Series 4", is because those brilliant "bullies" (aka Ricky Gervais & Stephen Merchant) are no longer at the helm. They have absolutely no say in where he goes or what he does. Karl is finally in charge of his own itinerary... and there's no Dwarf-For-Hire tagging along to act as a "hindrance" (No offense Warwick). This means that if Karl should find himself in a lacklustre location and/or a sticky situation, he has no one to blame but himself. LET THE FUN BEGIN!

How's my review? Call 1800 DROP OUT :p Here, have a few more quotation marks and misplaced commas ",",", :D
