The exploitation continues.

Ok, actually watched. It started off feeling really fake, but I ended up looking forward to it anyway.

smh, I guess you guys never heard of Karl Pilkington?

I don't watch tv, I havent had a cable tv since 2006 or so.
Karl Pilkington (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Pilkington) is not (yet) a tv celebrity, he's famous from being on the ricky gervais podcast. The entire podcast revolves around him and his idiotic, hilarious views on life. He's not fake, he's totally real. When I first heard of him I also thought he was fake, but then I listened to all podcasts.
-
He also wondered wether his brain controls him or he controls his brain.
"At some point, somethin has had it away with a leaf" [Karl's explanation of an insect which has evolved to look like a leaf to protect itself from prey]
There's an entire wiki dedicated to him (pilkpedia (http://www.pilkipedia.co.uk/wiki/index.php?title=Karl_Pilkington_Quotes_By_Topic)). The guy is unbelievable.
I've listened to all the XFM radio shows with Ricky Gervais and the subsequent Ricky Gervais podcasts, guides and audiobooks more than once. I can't get enough of the little mank. He's given me so much joy with his buffoonery.

I love the word "buffoonery," but can never remember one "f" or two, so I tend not to use it. This may have saved my job on several occasions.
-
I listened/watched everything Karl related, to me it's played out. Especially Ricky's stock reactions.
-
I agree that he's being genuine, but Karl seems to play up his character a lot. Listening to the early radio stuff he is a lot less stonefaced in his idiocy.
