Hi everyone! For this post I’m going to talk about this cool show called “An Idiot Abroad.” This show revolves around the adventures of a guy named Karl Pilkington who is from the U.K. His friends, Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, choose the things he does and pranks him during his trips around the world. In each episode, Karl has a certain task that he is supposed to do in every trip like living by himself in a deserted island or taking a hike in Mount Fuji. Most of the things that he does can be pretty scary while others can be extremely hilarious that you would never stop laughing!

The activities that Karl does in “An Idiot Abroad” and “An Idiot Abroad: The Bucket List” are probably things that maybe you would never do! Some of the funniest things that I’ve seen him do include bungee jumping, sumo wrestling, eating fermented fish, eating a worm that was alive, wing walking, and singing in a glee club! The reason why I loved these things is because of the way he reacts to these activities. Whether he’s arguing or complaining, it’s still hilariously funny!

Karl’s friends, Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, kind of try to complicate Karl’s trips by doing stuff that would again make Karl probably annoyed or irritated. Some of the things these guys did to Karl would probably be when they got him a hotel in India that was really more like a dump and when they made him spend the night in a deserted island. Even though these guys try to make it hard for Karl, they always do it for the fun of it. These guys make Karl do these things so that he can be out of his comfort zone.

Karl is so hilarious in many ways. This is because first of all, he always argues about the funny activities he does in his trips around the world. He is also funny because he refuses to do these certain activities but sometimes ends up doing these activities. My next reason is because he has a different way of thinking which makes him so vulnerable to be pranked on by his friends. Lastly, he has a different view of the world which can be practical but funny in the situations that he is in. Karl just makes this show unique and hilarious from beginning to the end. Your laughter will never end whenever you watch Karl on an Idiot Abroad and An Idiot Abroad: The Bucket List.

I would probably recommend this show to people who love traveling and comedy. This is because wherever he goes in An Idiot Abroad and An Idiot Abroad: The Bucket List, he always make these trips funny or hilarious! I just love how this show combines travel and comedy all into one which makes me want to laugh so hard that I might stop breathing! If you love comedy, then this would be the show for you! If you are interested in this show, you can watch it on the Science Channel if you’re in the United States, the Discovery Channel in Canada, and on One HD if you’re in Austrailia. At the bottom of this post, I have some clips from the two shows starring Karl Pilkington.

Hope you enjoy this post and see you soon!
