kek. like even if he actually believes he saw a pilot waiving at him, how is that even a story you tell people?

What's your favorite almost profound thing that Karl has said?

There are many times where he says something that is figuratively brilliant, yet he means it in the most literal mundane way.

>Adulthood is realising a lot of the things he said we're quite insightful and demonstrated skill at lateral thinking.
i think he's more like 50/50. half the shit he says actually is retarded and the other half is interesting and original. but the way ricky and steve view the world, once you've said a few too many retarded things you're retarded forever and the borderline brilliant thoughts dont count.

one of my cardiology lecturers said he was part of a study whereby they demonstrated that the average reading age in salford is like 7 or 8 years old.

there was one i can remember where he was comparing traveling to biscuits. like how they're both nice but that you can only travel and see so many things in the world whereas biscuits are abundant and plentiful. not sure if i'm relaying the message quite as well as he did.

the diary entries were the funniest desu. when steve is reading about how he saw a fat guy playing darts on his phone..top keks.

This. Average guys say stupid shit sometimes, especially if they are ignorant.
Gervais is just insanely elitist and the whole show is basically him laughing at the average working class Brit.

Correct.

Hearing both them lambaste Karl for "thinking in words" and "talking to himself" etc was extremely frustrating, like it was some alien thing nobody else ever does.

Karl then makes an entire show about the concept and everyone understands it.

This. I used to love watching Ricky, but now i just find him insufferable.

ricky's a hack. always has been

>I liked karl until he was a total asshole to that midget for no reason.
the midget was the one with the problem because karl has said things about midgets that offended him. so like when ricky and steve act like karl is an idiot it's all part of their act but the midget would treat karl like an idiot with real malice.

kek. thanks.

Karl kind of reminds me of a British Frasier if he wasn't as classy. There's even a running joke of not having seen his wife for the entirety of the series.

This. Warwick got angry when Karl said that the dwarfs (The dancing ones in asia i think?) weren't being exploited. But had no retort when Karl brought up his acting roles and asked if that was exploitation.

>Hearing both them lambaste Karl for "thinking in words" and "talking to himself" etc was extremely frustrating, like it was some alien thing nobody else ever does.
Wasn't the study that some people don't have internal monologues what started the NPC meme? Are Ricky and Steve literal NPCs laughing at Karl for having a soul?

The real redpill is realizing that Stephen believes there is a simple wisdom to Karl and Ricky is just an elitist jackass

>Hearing both them lambaste Karl for "thinking in words"

So basically Steve and Ricky are NPCs who lack an internal monologue?

probably

fuck adulthood

>that one minority dude who told his experiences with LEARNING how to have an inner thought process, and obtaining the ability to think in abstract

that spooped me hard. some random study saying "people don't think in words" isn't worth shit but that passionate description convinced me there are 'people' out there who cannot consider anything past what's currently happening

lmao Karl was too good to that little prick

>This. Warwick got angry when Karl said that the dwarfs (The dancing ones in asia i think?) weren't being exploited. But had no retort when Karl brought up his acting roles and asked if that was exploitation.
yea that was it. warwick was laying in to karl and karl said something like "hold up your promotional photo is you sitting on a shelf". the little midget could never let it go. he was probably 10x more embarrassed by the fact that a guy famous for being an "idiot" made him look like a fool without even trying.

Why do you plebs never talk about Sick of It? It's the best thing Karl's been involved with since the podcasts (and should also end the debate for anybody who still believes he's not playing dumb).

literally what? you can't bring something up and not explain what it is... and it's clearly not a fucking act you moron.

Are we ever getting a fourth An Idiot Abroad or is it done for?

They all are. Fucking every single one of the cunts.

watch moaning of life, it's even better in some ways although there are parts where you feel like it was forced in. the part with the midgets is what i'm talking about, you'll know what i mean if you watch it. it's karl kino for the most part though

Is Gervais officially over? The guy never got me'too'd, but once it was apparent he couldn't break into the top 5 of his American comedian contemporaries he kinda fell off the map. I mean remember that video where it's like Chris Rock, Louis CK, Seinfeld, etc and they're all big brothering him like he's a nobody?

He's fine. He has Netflix money.

I heard he and Merchant weren't talking anymore or something like that recently. I've been out of the Gervais loop for a while now so it could be bullshit.

warwick is a cunt just like most midgets are

Several times I got several anons actually thinking that the chimpanzees randomly typing for eternity would eventually produce a work of Shakespeare to be something ridiculous, and they were siding with Karl and thinking they were intelligent, they simply couldn't grasp the concept of infinity and they just kept replying "that's not how infinity works".
So the average Yea Forums user is just as dumb as Karl is.

you'd be surprised at how many people can't fathom the concept of infinity

ricky didn't even try to explain it beyond "infinity sorts it all out" before going mental

I think happy Mondays are from Salford and Shaun Ryder is a literary genius

I know Ricky is an idiot, but I did explain and they still thought it was ludicrous and absurd, because they can only think in immediate terms of an ape hitting a typewriter key and how unlikely it is that it could write Shakespeare.

yeah that part always annoys the shit out of me, Rick barely understands it himself, he just likes saying things like that because "isn't reality and maths and atheism amazing". he couldn't explain it past the basic premise so he probably didn't understand it properly himself. then he acts like Karl not understanding it puts him miles below Ricky's superior intellect, little prat

Adulthood is realising Karl was entirely right to ask "What were those things in Gremlin's called?" (He was asking in reference to the Mogwai) and Ricky mocked him for years after the fact.

Yeah, in the Moaning of Life Karl comes to understand what they're talking about a lot better.

Karl is honestly the smartest one of the bunch. Stephen read a bunch of books to try appear smart to impress people and Gervais parroted Dawkins before Dawkins blew up with normies due to family guy

It's bullshit. Steve still mentions Karl occassionally in interviews and Karl mentioned Ricky helping him set up his facebook page for moaning. Ricky doesn't promote their stuff because he's an egotist but they're still m8s.

Even man hating terf Germaine Greer liked him.

You honestly made my day. I’m having a laugh attack

just because they would type for an eternity doesn't mean they actually would eventually write it

Puberty may bring you to realize that what you take for "putting on an act" is in reality murderous hatred and a desire for revenge

It's bullshit though. They could bash the n key for eternity instead. Infinity makes it probable, it doesn't make it certain.

You wouldn't say that about Adam Carolla getting discovered by Jimmy Kimmel when Kimmel needed to be taught how to box.

Adam Carolla = American Karl Pilkington. You can't riff like them. No one can. Gervais can just talk about Satoli cells.

>Warwick eagerly dives in to shine on his rival
>dresses like a little fucking clown
>Karl calls him Little Lord Fauntleroy or something
>Warwick gets licked by orgiasts while attempting to maintain haughty superiority

Just because there is an unlimited amount of time doesn't mean something as retarded as a monkey typing out Shakespeare will happen. If you had an unlimited amount of time would you eventually shove a potato up your ass?

The thought experiment explicitly states that they'd be hitting random keys, so the probability of hitting the same one key for INFINITY is lower than actually getting to type Shakespeare.
It's not certain, but it's so close to certain that it makes virtually irrelevant to note that it isn't certain.

Because I don't watch shows where the release group is too fucking retarded to cut the first two episodes correctly, instead splicing the first half of the first two into an episode and the last two parts of them into the second. That's retarded, don't be trying to make Karl look retarded. I'm sick of it. Waiting for good copies. Suzanne needs to get off her fat arse and handle the worldwide distribution through the BBC as is her specialty and expertise.

the point isn't that it's a monkey doing it, the point of the theorem is basically this:

"an endless stream of random strings of text being written for an infinite amount of time will write any given text"

you're as stupid as karl if when you hear this theorem you imagine a literal chimp writing at a typewriter for some length of time, a "monkey at a typewriter" is used to demonstrate randomness over an infinite amount of time. "monkeys for an infinite amount of time" is just a phrase used to show retards the concept of infinity.

>random strings

Shakespeare isn't random strings though. It's thought out prose

Bro let me try to find the sickest fucking thing ever, they talk about it late XFM era. Karl on the TV for two 1-hour shows, but the show is just sitting there with Christian from the morning show and other DJs and they watch TV at night.

Karl tells some of the classic stories with more detail. Also new stories. His radio origins in Manchester at Picadilly and the new name it acquired, causing his retreat.

Oh, well it's still in the browser history. Here was the first show of 2. Each a full hour. Lost for all time now. Picadilly became Pick A Willy because everyone turned into a secret fruit. Even the guy who got Karl hired and wasn't gay was recruited by the gay mafia. Straights fired, gays hired. He had to flee. No point not spoilering it. Would have been good to have those 2 hours of new Karl. I seen it.

Karl, get off the computer.

Steve uses it as an example of how stupid Karl is to this day, at talks at Oxford, on Norm MacDonald Live, and some pseudo Ted Talk shit. All three it's his go-to. He still hates and resents Karl clearly. Hates that Karl's dad is funnier than Ron also.

wasn't it a psp? which makes it even worse

Anybody watch after life on netflix?

Still funny either way.

You only think he's funny, because he has two other jackasses cackling at everything he says. You laugh, because they're laughing. Literally peer pressured into thinking he's funny.

Karl completely destroyed Steve a couple of times so I can see why he wouldn't like him.

That time on xfm when Steve was insulting Susan and Karl's just like "aren't you worried that you're going to die alone" probably still keeps him up at night

i'm aware shakespeare isn't random strings. if you bash away at your keyboard for 5 hours you might just get one single discernible word. the point of the theorem is to display that infinity is not a concept of time which we can relate to here on earth, we think of time as: x-y, 1 second passes and we arrive at another second. infinity bypasses the seconds and the minutes and the hours and just goes forever and ever, seconds and minutes and hours aren't concepts within infinity since infinity takes away the whole idea of time being x-y. there is no end to infinity, it's just x. therefore it's not reasonable to think about infinity in any terms which you think are logical here on earth, it's reasonable to think of it as an interesting idea displaying how anything is possible when time as a limiting factor is taken out of any scenario. i'm not a mathematician by the way, this is just how i make sense of it all in my own words.

>i'm not a mathematician by the way, this is just how i make sense of it all in my own words.

thanks, needed this laugh before I went to bed

I don't get this whole "Steve is resentful" meme, only time I saw him actually get affected was when Karl called him an invalid.

Anyone got any photos of Suzanne? There have been many attempts to identify her over the years. I can’t imagine it would be too hard given that her work is mentioned in the shows over the years. I genuinely just want to know what she looks like

>Is it true that time and space can be calculated through the direct ratio of interplanetary magnetism to solar radiation?
>BWAHHHAHAHAHAHAHA KARL YOU'RE LIKE A CHIMP'S ZYGOTE

you made no effort to explain your point beyond saying "false", i said i'm not a mathematician in case there are any actual smart people in this thread who understand infinity as a mathematical concept and wanted to shit on me, i'm saying i don't understand it completely

Look m8 a monkey is not going to type Shakespeare no matter how fancy you dress it up. The absence of time has nothing to do with it.

I have literally never seen a homeless Chinese person before

This. Might as well say if you lock pigs in a room for infinity one of them will fly

How does one act into a face that could only possibly be a cruel joke

I saw one once and almost bursted out laughing because i thought of Karl. He had the biggest plastic bag full of cans and bottles i've ever seen a homeless person carry. He had tied the bag to a stick and was holding the stick to make it easier to carry around. Makes sense considering the work ethic of the chinese i guess.

>it's a Steve's eyes touch his glasses after Lucy Davis pushes them up his nose during a game of pool episode

I understood what he meant but he phrased it in such an awkward manner it's no wonder piggy gervais jumped on the chance.

I agree but sometimes Ricky humors him and has a proper discussion.

I never understood Karl’s theory about the Chinese not aging well. If anything they age better than westerners.

Conan's a smart fuck but he sometimes tries to tear apart everything Schlansky says. Speaking of which, I still want to know what the hell his ancestry is with a name like Schlansky. Pole? Russian? Jew?

Listen to the XFM stuff instead of the podcast/hbo animate show it's a lot more laidback

It wouldn't surprise me if they are the type that mistaken articulacy and an RP accent for intelligence and class. I'm an RP-speaking Englishman that can be quite eloquent and I'm very hesitant to accept eloquence as a sign of intelligence. We've all known hyper-verbose fuckers that really aren't all that special at the end of the day and witty guys that don't use 10 dollar words. Lee Mack's a good example of that.

sometimes when i listen to xfm i just start to laugh at how ridiculous it is that that show actually was broadcast on radio, in some shows they are actually just pissed off and constantly going at each other in really nasty ways. other shows they talk about chinese people and gays as if they are different species. there is nothing comfier than xfm.

Yeah. You can tell between a Southern Texas, Alabama, and Louisianan accent if you listen to the long enough. I can't tell between a North Carolina and Michigan accent though.

They write? That's news to me. That's too bad though, I like Harry Potter as a concept, although I think the execution was poor in a lot of ways.

Alright then I'll destroy Carolla's career just to spite you. Good luck, lover of racism.

They write for shows. LoTR and Harry Potter were both insanely more popular than anything they ever wrote so they shit on them

Whole thing is disgusting, Gervais shits on Harry Potter way more but now he eats dinner with the Queen and elite pedophiles every week, wears the St. George cross, and is all die-hard Anglophile. Loves Harry Potter because ENGLAND. Hires that fuckboy for Extras.

Now his job is to quiz little kids for an American game show. He asks them about Harry Potter. He showed us in the end who's ridiculous. LotR and Harry Potter fans, that's who. Not Gervais.

>that last guy
What a giga-prick. I could tell that guy was just toying with Karl the moment he did that ball thing. He's not smart, he's just a prick that thinks he is. Karl's got it figured out.
Also no one truly intelligent sees themselves as intelligent.

if you don't think "PAN. NICE AND HOT!" every time you start cooking you're doing it wrong.

If the monkeys type letters at random they will produce every combination of every word given infinite time. If I randomly did acts, I would eventually shove a potato up my ass.

pigs don't fly. Monkeys bashing random keys will produce every combination of words possible.

Karl is actually deeply interested in different people/beings and their experiences/what makes them happy, so if you listen to him on that subject he has some really good thoughts. He's particularly honed in on "what does it take to be content".

His proper stupid stuff comes from either abstract logical concepts(the monkeys typing Shakespeare) or just a lack of basic information from a lifetime of general in-curiosity about the natural, non-human world(not knowing how gravity works)..

He's emotionally intelligent and good at figuring out how people think/might think. But abstract concepts about the physical world just 404 his brain.

I think him realising his primary motivation in life was comfort was really interesting. There's people like that and most of them spend their entire lives straining to pursue some higher goal or convincing themselves that they'll 'start tomorrow' when that's not what would really give them balance and make them happy. I've never heard anyone else so zenly and without shame reconcile themselves with their lack of genuine ambition. Everybody feels like they need to 'win', whereas he has an almost Buddha like willingness to simply be.

This is such a bullshit dichotomy because its obviously a spectrum. Some people think in purely conceptual terms while others do a lot of monolingual, but NOBODY subvocalises everything they think, even if we're only talking about the conscious mind. It's not possible because your brain is doing too much at any given time. There are points where to put every single facet of what you're thinking into words would mean thinking dozens of sentences in a second. You physically can't think words fast enough to fully render every stray human thought as it happens.

People who think they subvocalise everything are actually profoundly dull and unaware of themselves. They're aware of their own minds on such a surface level that they can't identify anything but their most explicit, concrete thoughts. It's also clearly not the case that you need an internal monologue for self reflection. An understanding of time, change, personality and how they relate to you etc. can be purely conceptual as easily as it can be represented by spoken language.

If you imagine an image of a dog do you also think the words "I am now imagining a picture of a dog?

For the record I do have an internal monologue, but only as something I'm able to do, not something I can't operate outside of. It comes on and off as is convenient to what I'm thinking about and how I'm thinking about it/

I think I have the opposite of NPC syndrome. I can think in words but I can't visualize anything. Like if I think of a dog I can imagine a very general shape, like a cookie cutter. Even though I have dogs of my own

Was RockBusters® a good segment?

Accents are pretty much always judged by their proximity to power, not how they sound.

North of England-further from the power centre of London-looked down on.

Chav accent-poor working class-far from the powerful ruling class-looked down on.

Southern American-generally smaller economies and lower populations than the rest of the country, neither has the nation's capital nor the cultural powerhouses of New York and California-looked down on.

WHERE'S THE POT ALL THIS MONEY IS KEPT IN

It's impossible
>muh enternity
There is no eternity

>I know a guy from Salford and he literally told me once that he saw a plane at cruising altitude and saw the pilot waving at him.

Fucking lol

>Also no one truly intelligent sees themselves as intelligent.
that's simply not true. you would have to employ some kind of "no true scotsman" logic to make that work. the idea that not a single genius has ever been arrogant... really crazy stuff, user

Warwick defo thought he was going to bully Karl like Steve and Ricky and got fucking wrecked instead

The "I don't know if I'm well" argument.
And more or less everything he's said thats then been turned into a Black Mirror episode.

The poor people at Petra had a better view than the rich people who lived in petra. I've never heard that sentiment in my entire life

Yes. I know one. He has also never read a novel in his life, because it just doesn't work for him. I suspect the two are related.

lmao Morrissey is from Salford but you went to the Happy Fucking Mondays for your genius. Utter pleb.

Slightly related and not at all a bad thing, but some people literally can't imagine images. They cannot picture a beach in their head. They can imagine the concepts of a beach, the facts, the adjectives, etc but they can't actually see it.
My boss has it, it blew his fucking mind to know that people can actually imagine pictures. He's really smart so i don't hold it against him

what if Salford causes people to be either geniuses or mongs

You most likely have aphantasia.

I think that's what is called

Literally retarded.

Prove it, if you're right you've got eternity :)

I honestly think he is who he is he just plays it up a bit because he knows what makes people laugh. First couple of seasons of XFM are peak Karl, back when he was just a jaded cunt who did not give a shit and was unintentionally hilarious. Also Ricky and Steve try to play up how stupid he is when often he's actually right and they're wrong.

Adulthood is realising when Karl is talking about "lil monkey fellas" that he is in fact talking about niggers.

I'm gonna give you a (You) because this is spot on and very well put.

Nah user, look at this way: If I claimed I was an intellect, that would mean I know a lot about a subject right? But the more you learn about something, the less you realize you know about that thing. So its a self-defeating term really.You can't honestly say I know all there is to know about something. If you base your intellect on how much you know about something you'd never be able to measure up to the level you know enough to claim you are an intellect about that thing. Now, you can compare yourself to others but at that point you are just saying I'm smarter than X on subject Y, not that you an intellect on a subject.

>he said we're quite insightful and demonstrated skill at lateral thinking.
You mean he's stupid and has the imagination of a child.

Steve talks shit about everything nerdy and likes "cool stuff" like hiphop. I think its because he's such a nerdy looking clown so he tries to distance himself from nerdy things in order to try and look cool. Meanwhile Chad is watching Fellowship for the 20th time with Stacy.

>tfw I've been relistening to the xfm shows in an endless cycle for more than half a decade now
Someone please help me, I just can't stop it.

it's an abstract thought experiment you turbo brainlet

Did the pilot have long arms and short legs n that?

>make believe
>calls other a brainlet
Don't reply to me again.

>there are people that don't understand the monkey typewriter thing and actually argue against it

libraryofbabel.info/

look at this website
99.9% of it is just random strings of letters because it's a massive collection of randomized shit
but it contains every single variation a "page" can have using the english alphabet
i hope this website presents the idea in an understandable way
it contains everything, even the sentences i'm trying right now
kinda freaky

Could you link me to the page where the computer typed out Shakespeare in its entirety

No one actually thinks it's possible to have infinite monkeys on an infinite space, living forever, with infinite typewriters, with infinite time, you fucking 12 IQ burger.
It's a thought experiment, it's just a way to visualize an abstract concept like infinity.
In infinite time all random number generators will generate all possible number sequences ever, that's all.

or what? huh tough guy?

no, but only because the pages are of a limited size
if you increase the size of the "page" so that it could fit the entirety of the works of shakespeare, you would have it in this very library
of course, it would need a lot, lot, lot more storage space, and there would be near uncountable amount of more pages filled with bullshit, but infinity is not concerned with quantity, as long as it isnt infinite itself

with infinite monkeys hitting completely random buttons on a typrewriter, however unlikely it is, eventually it would happen, just because it's endless, there is no end point to it
technically when you take someone hitting completely random buttons on a typewriter, there is a chance that the next several thousand letters will spell out a play, or lyrics to a song, or a presidential speech.
Not a lot, extremely low, but with infinite time given, the monkeys would all type them out. In fact, they would type out everything that's ever been written before and everything that will be written using the english alphabet. Everything. Shakespeare is just a popular example, but this applies to everything. The monkeys have no knowledge of my name, but they would write a short story about me. Several short stories, even. Or about you. They would write down the cause of your death. Doesn't matter what you die from. And they would write down countless and countless other causes of death that would be wrong. All the possiblities happen.
