In this pithy and hilarious book, Karl Pilkington is in conversation with (the often bewildered) Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, the writers and stars of The Office and Extras, unwittingly outwitting even those comedy Goliaths as he struggles in vain to make sense of the world around him.
Unencumbered by erudition and impervious to logic, Karl ambles down a heuristic path to enlightenment under the edifying influence of Ricky and Steve. His pronouncements on such diverse and contentious topics as population control, simian affairs within human society, the sartorial deliberations of solitary spacemen and how long you can stay alive with your head chopped off, are matched in the vehemence with which they are proposed only by the degree to which they are ill-conceived.
Featuring Karl's original illustrations, imaginative scribblings and the best conversations of the world record-breaking Podcasts, The Ricky Gervais Show, this is a unique trip into the world of one of our most innovative thinkers, visionaries and prophets, or as Gervais knows him, "the funniest man I've ever met."

Not Necessary if You Have Listened to the Old Radio Show
Reviewed in the United States on 28 January 2023Verified Purchase
This book contains mostly bits and jokes you have likely already heard, if you have relistened to the old Ricky Gervais radio show with Karl Pilkington. If you're a big enough fan to consider buying this, you might be disappointed by the lack of new insights. Karl's drawings make it worthwhile, but the actual text is seemingly just transcripts from the show.

Karl Pilkington is a God
Reviewed in the United States on 14 July 2013Verified Purchase
Karl Pilkington is a one of a kind human being with his own philosophy. At first you will laugh as hard as you can with his theories. On a second look you realize how he's right about certain things, and how he got to that truth through his innocent way to look at the world.

Too funny
Reviewed in the United States on 10 May 2011Verified Purchase
Karl Pilkington is just absolutely hilarious...and he doesn't even know it. Great book to have around, but if you're not the reading type, just download or purchase the CD's of the podcasts or watch the Ricky Gervais Show on HBO. The contents of the book are literally taken from the podcasts. But if you are a huge fan like me, then this is a book you should own.
