A collection of the best moments from the 'Ricky Gervais Show' with further musings from Karl Pilkington, star of Sky 1's 'An Idiot Abroad'. Karl Pilkington's is a brilliant mind, locked inside a perfectly round head and uncluttered by the unhelpful constraints of logic or common sense. He both baffles and enlightens with his take on topics as diverse as population control, the rights of monkeys and how long you can stay alive with your head chopped off. Featuring the best conversations from 'The Ricky Gervais Show' podcasts and original illustrations and scribblings by Karl Pilkington, this is a unique trip into the mind of our most innovative visionary - or, as Gervais and Merchant know him, 'the funniest man alive in Britain today'.… (more)

I didn't actually read this, but I have listened to the podcasts and this just seems to be a transcript. yaaaaawn ( )

A collection of some of Karl's best stuff from the podcasts, with one or two extra bits thrown in for good measure. I was familiar with a lot of the stuff because they were used in the animated HBO show, but it is still really funny. However, I think I found it funnier because I could recall the tone of the voices and the comedic timing from the podcasts and TV series. If I was going into this without already being a fan of Karl I don't know if it would come across as well. Because of this, and because it comprises of stuff already used in the podcasts and the HBO show, I would only really recommend this for completists like myself. Karl is bloody funny though. ( )

Karl Pilkington is truly entertaining, whether he wants to be or not. Some may find his thoughts to be utterly insane, but the thoughts are still incredible to hear out. I would strongly recommend reading this after you have listened to all of the podcasts, or watched An Idiot Abroad. ( )

I can't decide if Karl Pilkington is brilliant or a simpleton. His mind works in ways that can't be explained. I find him funny and at time he makes me scratch my head and wonder how does he think of this stuff. ( )

These two knuckleheads talk to a former button pusher at their radio station, Karl Pilkington, who has an interesting view of the world. It looks like conversations directly from the podcast, i think it would be funnier to listen to the podcast. ( )
