I've always wondered how Karl would translate to American audiences, not that he ever says anything hard to comprehend, just that American humour and British humour is often quite different.

Guessing you've seen An Idiot Abroad?

Love An Idiot Abroad. Didn't know there were more seasons... only saw Karl on Netflix....need to google.

There were three (and a half) seasons that were on the Science Channel. The second season was the "Bucket List" season, and the third was a short season where Karl with Warwick Davis retraced Marco Polo's route.

They also re-aired all of the episodes with extra content in a series called An Idiot Abroad: Lost Luggage.

I first learned of Karl back when HBO aired The Ricky Gervais Show. I always had this suspicion that he was a secret genius and Ricky was too hard on him and never gave him the credit he was owed. Idiot Abroad had some really amazing moments, but watching him like...move and be human, almost ruined the mystery for me. I loved the show, but I think he really shines in mundane conversation. The more extreme the situation is, the more he reacts like any normal person would.

His first meeting with Warwick is fucking priceless though.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

Well I also liked COD 3 (Because canada) and the assassins creed series.

Also Roadrash and the first 2 halos. Haven't played the rest.

But the one game that I remember with more nostalgia than anything else is MATH CIRCUS. Played it in school. Memories . . .

Oregon Trail. On the 5 1/2" floppy disks for an Apple II computer in 1992. But if you got into the computer lab last, you had to play Math Blasters. Lame.

I used to name all my friends and see if I could kill them with dysentery.

I used to play games on the Commodore 64 when games were incredibly hard/impossible. Probably half my games I never completed, some not even close. By today's standard games are a piece of piss.

Loved my C64, it taught me how to type, the basics of programming, appreciation for games, and how to love.
