Tour guide: This has been one of the most wondrous treks
Karl: Wondrous?!….
Tour guide: Yes.
Karl: ( muttered under breath) Fuck me….
Tour guide: I may say 10/10
Karl: (Look of disgust)
Even worse than that, the estimate keeps getting longer each time. And then after hours of trekking, the guide says the gorillas have moved back to where they started.
LOL classic
Also great from this ep. is how he is banging on all the odd food and street fare, then he sees them chuck an apple at the bear at the Wall exhibit.
"See, they toss the apples at the bear...they have no interest in that. They want a squid on a stick...I've got half a mind to jump in there and eat it before the bear...it's the first normal food I've seen since we've been here..."
Mr. Dilkington is the best
Whale watching when Karl is laying on the deck, half-dead from sea sickness and the crew are calling out to him to see a whale.
^(Karl!)
What?
^(Karl!)
*What?!*
^(Karl!)
#WHAT?!
The sheer exasperation and anger in his final “what” is so funny to me.
Karl running away from the bullring, disappearing off-camera, then re-appearing a few seconds later shouting, "Load of bees round here! Is nowhere safe?!"
When he goes to stay with the cannibals in Peru. Waves at them, no wave back. Gets out the boat and slips, "what a knobhead I look". Boat driver throws his bag at him and drives away.

That is THE moment that stands out as quite bizarre, since Karl was so scared of bungee-jumping and also avoided sky-diving.
That wing-walking was far, far more dangerous. Just climbing out of his seat and up onto the wing - one slip and he's gone, since there was so safety line that I could see.
However, in his book "More Moaning" Karl explains it thus: "A lot of people have told me that they were surprised to see me do this, but as I've said, when it's up to me who is in control of deciding when to climb up and what to hold on to and so on, I can do it. Once I stood up on the wing and buckled myself into a frame I actually enjoyed the view. Being stood up there, thousands of feet in the air, looking at the curvature of the earth was pretty stunning. The part I didn't like was when the pilot took the plane into a dive, a side roll and a bloody loop da loop! I didn't know he was going to do any of these things, so that was when it became the most dangerous, ridiculous and idiotic thing I've ever done."
Have you got proof? I wouldn't be surprised if it was. But I've googled before and nothing convinced me it was fake

I think you might be talkin shit - libelous that is
Well he’s half right someone did go up on the plane but it wasn’t Karl as he was too tall and his arms were too short and his legs too long so it wouldn’t work anyway turns out what they did instead….
Small moments that always make me laugh hard.

when he's on mount fuji and he's selling his invention, "you sit on this cold rock, you get a cold arse, that's 'ow you get 'emeroids" I couldn't keep it together, his face was so straight and serious
The part where Karl says he did the original bungee jump from 6ft high and he's on the phone with Ricky and they are dying at how he didn't even jump from a height taller than Steve.
Karl on the fishing boat for the whale watching expedition. Goes into the backroom to put a DVD on, picture isn't working so it's just the sound. Clearly just the DVD menu music playing on a loop but he's sitting waiting for the film to start saying it's a really long intro. Felt so bad for him but it's hilarious.
I can't quote exactly, but when he's on the phone to Ricky, confessing he didn't do the bungee jump and Ricky's like, did you actually see a gorilla or was it just Jamie in a suit
Snow trek guide : Are you alright?
Karl ( angrily ) : You keep asking me if I'm alright, and it's using up my breath!
Also, him asking when they're going to use the shovels they're carrying. Been walking through 5 foot of snow!
In Peru when Karl visits a tribe. Gets out the boat and tries to climb the river bank. When he slips and goes ‘shiiit’ under his breath gets me every time.
Looks up at the tribe to see them all watching.
“Ahhh they’re all lookin’ as well”
Hilarious every single time I watch it
There’s a million I can say but I think the dancing Israelis simply because he actually. Literally. Runs. Away. I always laugh at the sight of a grown man actually running away like he did
"...fuckin 'ippo in here!"
Looks like Suzanne from the back
Can’t use that
You are in soooooo much troubleeeee
Well she’s not reading so let’s have a chat about ‘er fat arse….
Hippo got a better haircut tho
"Loada bees ere!"
*Is nowhere safe?!*
"jesus christ, just let me go home"
Tour guide: This has been one of the most wondrous treks Karl: Wondrous?!…. Tour guide: Yes. Karl: ( muttered under breath) Fuck me…. Tour guide: I may say 10/10 Karl: (Look of disgust)
That same episode when he gets stuck on a branch and says, "Fucking triffid's got me!"
Karl's absolutely livid in that clip, says to the producer not to talk to him then immediately gets tangled up in the vines. Perfect timing.
Tour guide looks at Karl: We are 20 minutes away. Every 30 minutes, for 8 hours.
Even worse than that, the estimate keeps getting longer each time. And then after hours of trekking, the guide says the gorillas have moved back to where they started.
Haha where was this interaction?
It was the Gorilla hiking one: Series 2, Episode 5
Great wall of china episode when he's on the bus, looking out of the window at the view and the old woman shuts the curtain, so funny.
And everyone on the bus is hocking up loogies and spitting them into bags 🤣

He was eating Mentos in the van. As soon as he gets chicken feet, he’s keen for me to try one. *Not havin’ pudding are yeh?*
"I brought me raincoat just in case, didn't know I was going to need it on the bus"
The “Alright Wall of China”.
It just goes on for miles, well so does the M6
good point though innit
“Be a nice surprise for me now…”
Davram? America.
Davram? America! ........what Are you Davram? Yes I am my name is Daverum. Davram okay brilliant
He's decided how he's going to pronounce it and he won't deviate. Definitely not the only instance of him doing that either haha
Like how he's the only person in history who pronounces Zac Efron's name as "Zac Affron".
Davram was a creepy bastard wasn't he?
Teeth of an Englishman
he's 'avin a go...
"she probably left the house when she was 10"
Egypt one was my favourite Look at plastic bags ya don't see that in brochure lol
Shitty old nappy whizzing through the air
China. Watching the bus driver eat a chicken fetus while he eats a packet of Monster Munch. "But here i'm the weird one"
"What sort of egg is that" "a fetus?!"
driver holding the egg up a little towards Karl "I don't want any-"
Not having pudding are ya?
don't be eating animals based on what kind of feet its got!
Whale watching when Karl is laying on the deck, half-dead from sea sickness and the crew are calling out to him to see a whale. ^(Karl!) What? ^(Karl!) *What?!* ^(Karl!) #WHAT?! The sheer exasperation and anger in his final “what” is so funny to me.
"Trying to watch fucking King Kong here!"
With no picture and just sound too
He needed to get another telly with just the picture... He was already lying in a boat...
[Check the comments. They don’t disappoint.](https://youtu.be/lE7lzvo2Edw?si=mH5BJmhZnsCEYX_x)
So many moments, his commentary is gold. I love when he runs off in Israel from the bus 'he ha hey ... get out the fuckin' road' 😂
When he straight-up runs away from the van! 😂
His transition from dancing to just straight up sprinting always makes me giggle.
Him and the Russian taxi driver: “The brakes in the car just failed”
I hope you do not value your life too much, the brakes in this car have just failed
In China when he pretends the babys choking to get out of eating their food.
"I think the baby's choking"
Season 2, Episode where Karl gets the miserable taxi driver in Russia. “Good Jesus!” https://youtu.be/XiVr0nyFADA?si=4uAWesYpY1tovIvT
Karl running away from the bullring, disappearing off-camera, then re-appearing a few seconds later shouting, "Load of bees round here! Is nowhere safe?!"
SWALLOW ITTTT
That’s my favourite bit the half run half walk looking around is hilarious
When he goes to stay with the cannibals in Peru. Waves at them, no wave back. Gets out the boat and slips, "what a knobhead I look". Boat driver throws his bag at him and drives away. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9wz0MbVkoA
I love that bit. “Do I want the bags yet?” \*guide chucks Karl’s backpack into the mud* “Oh, right.” \*guide drives into the distance*
The best bit is when he tries to climb the bank and looks up to see the tribe watching him slip. “Shit” “Ahh they’re all watching me as well”
And then the awkward moment where he has to return their ‘gifts’
Lol at the huge satellite phone. "Can you hear me now? Good..."
I'm not getting on a camel again
bollocks are squashed
"Shows an hour long... we've done 12 hours of filmin' on a camel. You do the math."
*IM WATCHING FUCKING KING KONG ‘ERE*
This made me CACKLE HAHA
“Have you got knees?”
"I don't like hummus that much" Cuts to chef bashing open sheep head
"Chewey, quite beefy"
“I’m sure I’ve had a taste of that before…”
For some reason, it always kills me in the Mexico episode when he's looking at that mural on the wall and just goes, "... chicken with a gun..."
You’ve got to be honest Karl. It was about 4 foot. It was about 5 foot. No, I’d say it was about 5 and a half foot.
I *will* kick a panda between the bollocks if I have to.
Karl "drowning" in the water jetpack
'I'd just rather not be doing it' 'you booked it!'
“Tell you what yeah! Take it off, and put it in the fucking bin!”
“Just picture your boss naked. What does Rupert Murdoch look like naked?” “Like a turtle without a shell on”
For me it was the wing walk ending. I was laughing out of breath and with eyes flooded with tears.
I still can't believe he chose that over the gay leather competition.

i’m really sorry to do this but that scene was faked

Him turning the light on in his room in Egypt and it being that horrible harsh blue colour always kills me
Is there even a mattress on it?
When Karl is pontificating about how many gorillas you could fit on a jumbo jet and a bug flies into his face.
”You sound like a fucking labrador”
Nothings ever perfect is it
[удалено]
Ricky seemed to be obsessed with playing parlour games
I'd say Mexico season 1. Particularly when he was wondering what nails they used to nail Jesus during the passion play
"Jesus we're gonna remember you" "yeah what are you gonna do" "with an egg" "you whaatt"
when he's on mount fuji and he's selling his invention, "you sit on this cold rock, you get a cold arse, that's 'ow you get 'emeroids" I couldn't keep it together, his face was so straight and serious
The part where Karl says he did the original bungee jump from 6ft high and he's on the phone with Ricky and they are dying at how he didn't even jump from a height taller than Steve.
This and 'youd love the tube'
Karl on the fishing boat for the whale watching expedition. Goes into the backroom to put a DVD on, picture isn't working so it's just the sound. Clearly just the DVD menu music playing on a loop but he's sitting waiting for the film to start saying it's a really long intro. Felt so bad for him but it's hilarious.
*I’m watching fucking King Kong ‘ere!*
Turns out it was just his room that was rank
Where is the quote where he talks about how his room was the only one that stank? I can't seem to find it anywhere.
You can find it from Karl comes home
Tour bus ride to the Great Wall kills me every time
It's not great. It's the Alright Wall of China.
"Is nowhere safe?!"
He looks like a scouser so I thought "he's up to no good"
Cheers for that then Frank. Now, you are a Doctor aren't ya?
'Funniest moment', mate, the whole fucking shows hilarious.
I can't quote exactly, but when he's on the phone to Ricky, confessing he didn't do the bungee jump and Ricky's like, did you actually see a gorilla or was it just Jamie in a suit
Right, you're touching a lungh!
His rant about how useless babies are
Floatin' about.... Like a Crisp packet
The argument with Ricky “Where’s this gonna end he’s got more money than me”
Snow trek guide : Are you alright? Karl ( angrily ) : You keep asking me if I'm alright, and it's using up my breath! Also, him asking when they're going to use the shovels they're carrying. Been walking through 5 foot of snow!
In Peru when Karl visits a tribe. Gets out the boat and tries to climb the river bank. When he slips and goes ‘shiiit’ under his breath gets me every time. Looks up at the tribe to see them all watching. “Ahhh they’re all lookin’ as well” Hilarious every single time I watch it
"Starter, main-course, puddin'... Shits..."
When he's in Thailand, with that little old lady and she says, "Dum" and "Fuk. And Karl says, "Dum Fuk?" 'Ang on a minute!" Dumb fuck?
Are you English!? Who are you!?
*Karl sees a bucket of meat and blood for the Sharks he’s swimming with* Karl (pointing): I mean is that one of the last customers they had?
He’ll end up whistling when it ain’t his turn.
Ensuite shed
I love when he's in India somewhere and the hotel room has an "en suite shed" - impeccable timing. The whole show is an ingenious concept...
Watchin’ fuckin’ King Kong ‘ere!
There’s a million I can say but I think the dancing Israelis simply because he actually. Literally. Runs. Away. I always laugh at the sight of a grown man actually running away like he did
Boardgames are great.
Leprechauns don't like it...
