no, not me, i'm not going anywhere..
If you havent seen the documentary created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant which follows their friend Karl around the new seven wonders of the world, i suggest you do. Basically, Karl is, as Ricky puts it, a human version of Home Simpson - has a good heart but is completely ignorant to anything outside of his own simple bubble, so to watch him engage with people from various cultures and observe different ways of life is bloody hilarious. Ricky and Stephen deliberately put him in awkward situations for the pure comedy of his reactions. the poor sod.
some highlights include:
During his trip to Egypt to check out the pyramids: "That song walk like an Egyptian - no-one's walking, everyone seems to be in a car at all hours. Just beeping."
calls The Great Wall the "alright wall of China", and thinks it "just goes for miles and miles....but so does the M6."
Spending Easter Sunday in Mexico: "I haven't read the Bible, but I don't remember anyone mentioning setting fire to a cow with a load of fireworks on it!"
Monday at 8:30. Get on board!!!
