You have to understand Karl was brought up in one of the most downbeat estates in Manchester during the 70s & 80s, most of the people around him were probably criminal. Karl turned out good & kind hearted.

It's tinging it's way up the tube 😂😂

You never see an old man eating a Twix!    Karl Pilkington quote.
Maaaaaaars bar bar bar...

I remember hearing the 'I was still using my eyes even though I had em shut' line for the first time on a bus and doubling up with laughter. The guy next to me thought I was having a fit 🤣

Not Mandy defending Karl trying to look at his toe THROUGH his eyelids 🤣

The Tic-tac memory was at least a good enough anecdote to be turned into a cartoon on HBO.

You can tell Mandy's a true fan of the animations of Karl...(pauses the video, all excited)...
"That is a new Karl Pilkington animated angle people!!!" 🤣

I know cults aren't usually good, but if Karl announced he was the leader of a (Pilko) cult, I'd be straight in there! 😅
With my Pilko pants on...

Or maybe I've been drinking the Karl kool aid for too long 🤔

"I'll grow old before I have another Twix"

Not according to Karl. It's strictly Werther's Original for old people 🤣

Idk why but Ricky imitating Karl’s family and friends is so funny

"Focus on your toe" is a very valid pain management technique.  My neurologist and other doctors have told me to do this.  The human brain has some control over how you experience pain.  IF you focus on the painful part, you will literally feel it more.  IF you focus on a part of your body as far away from the painful part as possible (like a toe), you will feel less pain.

It's a psychosomatic control thing.

These animations really are brilliant. I love the reaction of the lady to Karl's "Mam" with the driveway regravelled with tic tacs...her facial expression...puzzled, confused, concerned... 🤣 So good. That's why I like Mandy's reactions to Ricky, Steve, & Karl here...definate appreciation for the animations expressiveness.

Karl's little annoyed face never ceases to entertain 😂

8:04 Imagine if you end up being the first old person Karl sees eating a Twix...

...I said, "I love Tic Tacs, me..."

Anyone remember episode one when Mandy was like 'eh..I dunno...they're just kinda mean to him. It's not that funny. I just feel bad for him'
Lol

There is a meditative technique called a body scan used in stress and pain reduction programs where you focus on different parts of the body, starting with the toes. Some people fall asleep when they try it. If you're having trouble sleeping due to thoughts in your head, concentrating on physical sensations can help you "get out of your head".

Actual three blind mice. Now would be that "in ten years time." There was a deacon at the church I grew up attending who could have used that. He went blind. The story I got from my mother is, he had diabetes and was actively losing his sight, so he went in for surgery, but they told him they could literally take his eyes out of his head and fix the sight that way, and he trusted the doctors and went through with it, and that's how he went totally blind. Well, when you sever the optic nerve, that's what happens. He didn't realize that would happen, and I don't know what the doctors were thinking. All I know is, if I were already completely blind and they had this cure, I would run to the hospital to get the cure. Two things I hope never happen: me going blind and me becoming paralyzed. They do now have a device that helps the paralyzed be able to walk again, and I just saw a story about it in the news last week.

Ricky acts like a 33 year old body is the same as a ten year old body. By the time we're 33, we can't just bounce back, like a ten year old can, and that's if we bounce back from injury at all. And in some cases, when something happens to a ten year old and he doesn't get hurt at all, if the exact same thing happens to a 33 year old, the 33 year old gets hurt. And we're left thinking "THAT hurt me?!" It could be something small, that one would never think would hurt a person. Ricky acts as if 33 is young like ten is young. You're not a senior at 33, but you're not young at 33.

"You're the type of person who's stomach is hungrier than you." Believe it or not, about five or ten times throughout the years, my brother actually left food in the microwave and then he left home to go to work or school, and he told me it's because he forgot he was hungry. I was like "how the fuck do you forget you're hungry when it's your own stomach?" I can't jump into his head to remind him he's hungry. That was a "hello, McFly" moment, like in Back to the Future. How do you forget you're hungry? Maybe you forget a pen when going to school. Maybe you forget someone's phone number. Maybe you forget the directions to go somewhere while driving. But to forget you're hungry. HUH?!

(Remembering our first years of life) I don't know why we don't remember that time period, either, but I imagine it's because of what Stephen said, that our brains aren't developed enough, yet, to remember. Trauma or no trauma. But I don't want to remember being born. I would just want to remember the moments immediately after, beginning with finger prints being taken. Believe it or not, my earliest memory must have been when I was about 9 to 11 months old. Somewhere around then, based on the weather and events at the time, and the fact my birthday is in July. There were actually two memories from that time period, and I don't know which one happened first. But it was one or the other that counts as my first ever memory. One was when my mom took me to the park, and as we were about to leave to go home, she noticed I wanted to go into the baby swing, so she pushed me in the swing for a few minutes, and then went home. That was one memory. The other was when we were in the kitchen and she had me in that baby carrying seat thing, whatever that's called, and I was on the counter. She must have been washing dishes cause she was at the sink. She stepped away once or twice. At one point I felt warm and waved my hand at myself to say I'm hot. She noticed and said "you want me to open the window?" She opened the window. Moments went by, and at one point, suddenly, there was a gust of wind and the curtains were blowing all over, and that kept up for a moment, and so I shivered to say I'm cold. She said "you want me to close the window?" Then she was like "It IS windy now," and she closed the window. She wasn't going to open the window again, and I was fine with that. That was THAT memory.

24:43 Since they mentioned it, 21:32 is me during those moments. 😄Especially one particular time, when I was 17. Or, at times when I was in kindergarten. That counts as a story time.

And by the way, 26:17. So, they have TWO cups of water for THREE people?

My 1st introduction to the Ricky Gervais Show; gotta love the TicTac incident (remember when it use to ting up the tube? 😂)

I have the "can't visualise things in me head" thing.
It's called Aphantasia, and I didn't realise until I was about 30 that most people can actually see things in their mind.
That blew my mind because it's such an alien concept to me.

Classic episode. What Ricky says at the end 😂
