England is getting a new TV show on Sky TV, whatever THAT is, called An Idiot Abroad in which Karl Pilkington, friend and whipping post to Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, is sent around the world to make slack-jawed faces of weary disbelief. And guess what: it looks GREAT. (Trailer after the jump.) This is not the first time that this show has been mentioned on this website, for I was also excited about it when it was called Karl Pilkington’s Seven Wonders of the World. You may recall that as the day I quit Videogum and moved to England. It was terrible over there, guys! I don’t know anything about rugby, and all the bars close at 7. Needless to say, it didn’t work out. Or as they say in England: Oy! Crisps! Anyway, now that I am back in the land of elastic waistbands and chili fries (see also: Mandy Moore), I’m just waiting for someone to shove this show in a duffel bag and send it to me. Don’t tell me they don’t have duffel bags in England. That can’t possibly be true. Where do they shove all the QUID from their HEISTS?
Hand this show over, Queen. I’ll look you in the face and say it. I’ll turn my back on you all day long until you give it.
Really want to watch this show on the telly! Innit!

Wow, Ricky Gervais has the BEST laugh
I firmly believe it can cure cancer.
Just by Linking Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Gabe has improved it’s position on IMDB by 29% this week.
That and the fact it was on TV the other day.
“Cuz He got
Jokes and Jokes And Jokes And Jokes And…
Spaghetti Spaghetti Spaghetti Spaghetti….”
It may have been on TV the other day in the UK or Britain or England or whatever you want it called, but here in Truck Land, we ain’t see it.
What is a truck?!
One of these things:
Oh. Here we call that a ‘penis extension’.
Ooooo. That we call peeling out of a parking lot loudly and aggressively.
YOU CALL it “penis extension” AND WE call it FREEDOM, son.
FREEEDOOOM?
Worst. Film. Ever.
A downvote! Huzzuh! Some Monster out there saw that and thought to themselves, “Hey! I peel out loudly and without reason and it is because I am badass, not because I am compensating!”
In England, the president is called the Queen.
David Cameron will be disappointed to hear that.
Not to mention Anthony Head
British children believe Obama is America’s Queen.
you spelled Lady Gaga wrong
Although Ricky Gervais is slightly mean towards Karl Pilkington in public, in private he has given Karl the seal of approval:
Oi! Queen Lorry! ‘And it over, or Gabe’s gonna have to do this :

You’ve been warned, and have 4-6 months to comply.
“I’ll turn my back on you all day long until you give it.” That is, most definitely, what she said.
“Where do they shove all the QUID from their HEISTS?” What British she said.
i would watch this show in the privacy of my own home and enjoy it a lot.
and i would feel bad because i get the same bewildered look on my face when i drive any further away from my house than shoprite.
better karl than me! great show!
Seriously, Gabe. It is Britain or UK, as England is only a quarter of either of these. Cheers me mucker!
Luckily, that was the only factual inaccuracy or culturally contentious thing in this post.
Oh Godsauce. I got the joke(s) but it also happens in posts not of this tone. Just trying to point out something that is really, really grating.
Perhaps you should point out your face.
That just happened.
I heart Jawbone but cannot resist the call of the facezing.
You bloody chancer! You rascal, you!
I thought the bars close at never.
I think the pubs close around 11pm then you have to go to clubs that charge a cover.
It depends on the pub my good man! Many open into the wee hours of the bonny gladdy morning. And if you can force them to have a lock-in, its all night party time!
And though lock-in sounds like a terrible terror attack requiring a panic room, it actually consists mainly of drinking pints, discussing lorries, eating crisps and singing Spice Girls songs.
I don’t know what you were talking about, because now all I can think about is chili fries.
Cannibal?
BAHAHAHAHA HA AAA HAA HA HAA!!!!! WHAT A LORRY!!!!!!
You guys, I just got back from a for-real week in England, and let me tell you the most upsetting thing — over there they call toilet seat covers “IMAGINARY OR POSSIBLY INVISIBLE.” I don’t know why the modern miracle of free cowboy hats hasn’t made it over there yet, unless everyone just really likes sharing butt-germs.
At least they have toilet seats, which is more than I can say for some countries. I’m looking at you MEXICO.
LOL, downvoted over toilet seat covers? My opinions on English toilet hygiene, let me show you them.
Maybe a little?
MAYBE a NO.
Haha. Ok, well I think just a tad. As far as brilliance, it’s clear that Mr. Gervais wins by a landslide.
I see it. I don’t understand the downvotes.
yeah, what is with the downvotes all over this post? why are you guys having such a bad day??
Karl Pilkingtons got a head like a fucking orange
“England”
Love you
did you say something about England?
Don’t expect any more posts from me today. I’ll be watching this gif.
You heard the man, Queenie. Hand it over… or the CORGIS GET IT!
Mandy Moore’s pretty.
This show looks really good but I’m going to wait for the NBC remake starring Ant.
dunebug2.0, where are you? We need your pilkydance gif, stat. Pilkie’s Makin Music!
Gabe! All of our dosh from our many heists go in our bum bags (or as you know them, fanny packs, because over there fanny means bum and not your minge.)
In England Karl Pilkington is called the guy who plays a naive contrarian dolt that Ricky Gervais is trying to peddle us as being the funniest man ever, but it’s such a transparent rouse and really cheaply contrived like saying “I cant keep me things under me turban? I thought they wore them to avoid the pickpocket children.” or “The wailing wall? Is it cos they bump thems noggins when bobbing next to ti?”. HO HO hO.
