I love how Karl's idea of translating a word to someone who doesn't speak any English is just giving a synonym and then repeating it forcefully

i like how Karl's laugh is just a cheesy grin followed by a quiet scoffing sound. and then he goes back to looking like he has war induced PTSD.

“You smell, you shit” will always send me over the top laughing.

Ricky getting up at the end screeching like a bird holding his stomach while Karl is sitting there re-living his altercations with his neighbours over bins is one of the funniest things I have ever seen.

After seven years, such a shame this still hasn't been made into a series...

"You smell. *You s h I t ?*" fucking lost it lmao

Ricky Gervais is a comedy genius. Bringing Karl to us was a master stroke.

I love Karl’s obsession with Chinese people.

Karl pantomimes drinking tea like a fucking professional

I love how as soon as he's given control of the scenario and realizes that he can do whatever he wants with it, he uses it to vent his own personal frustration and completely abandons the idea of helping others or teaching english. lol

Karl saying ‘of course it is’ is genuinely one of the funniest things ever

I thought this would be an educational video and I watched it seriously for 40 seconds and then I realised I know enough English to enjoy this masterpiece.

"I'd just wrap any old shit up.." "10'er, rip you off.." Karl is the absolute best

"focking 'el, you smell" fuck I'm in tears

I can't tell how many times I've watched it over the years but it never gets old, it's uncanny really

This is perfect. Ricky knows exactly what to say to disorient Karl. It's unfortunate because if you listen to any of their conversations you can tell that Karl is obviously intelligent and has no patience for any bullshit. It comes out so well with 100% unintentional comedy. It's hilarious to those of us who think the same but are too obedient to say what we're thinking. Gotta love him.

“I’d just wrap any old shit up” 😂😂😂😂😂

What's funny is ''bald'' in German is Kahl.

"You smell, you shit?" Has stayed with me for over a decade now

Watched this about 50 times and it still kills me everytime 🤣

sorry, can we address how perfectly karl recreated the sound of sipping tea?

I wonder if anyone trying to learn English accidentally stumbled on this video

The best thing about this, is the fact that gervais knows this isn't a real language documentary. But he also knows that KP actually does think it is.

As a German, I had huge success with „You smell, you shit?“ over there in Britain. Enhanced our lovely friendship to the max.

I reckon if there was a 10 hour version of this it wouldn’t get boring

Karl is an improv genius. He continues holding an imaginary cup of tea after the skit is over. He licks his finger to turn the pages in an imaginary appointment book. He starts getting genuinely annoyed by an imaginary spa customer's waxing requests. Improv Genius

Ricky knows exactly how to get the funniest out of Karl, he's brilliant at planting seeds in Karl's mind then letting him run with it.

I come back to this video at least once a year lol

Karl is the cure for depression.

Ricky- *brilliant joke* Karl- *doesn't laugh* Karl- *repeats what he says three times* Ricky- *loses it*

Karl's face from the get go, hilarious 😂

I watch this at least 5 times a year and it never fails to make me laugh 😂

I love how frustrated Karl gets about waxing Ricky's bollocks as though it's a genuine conversation!

Karl isn't an idiot, he's an alternative genius.

"Hm. You smell. You shit?" Gets me everytime

I almost died of laughing from hearing the sentence "you smell, you shit?"

"I'd just wrap any old shit up and give it ya......tenner, rip you off"

"Karl is bald. Karl's head is a ball. Karl's head is like a bald testicle. Karl's head is bald, but his testicles aren't." The way he says that with a straight face and casual tone. xD

“I never been on Holiday and had to have me anus seen to” That’s gotta be one of the funniest things I ever heard in my life.

every time I feel like my English has lessened, I come back to this lesson. I have been watching this lesson since 3 years now. always fresh and helpful.

Ricky: "Teabag okay?" Karl: "...wot?"

This is, by far, the best video ever made in the history of mankind

God I miss all the Ricky/Karl content. Bring it back!!!!!

Carl turning to the camera and repeating phrases is fucking gold

I always come back to this every couple of months, never fails to make me laugh.

How did this never become a series!

Sad the whole day because of a breakup, until I came across this video: I went from one extreme to another for a while. Thanks guys!!

10 years ago....bring them back!!🙏!we need these podcasts in 2023! Literally made me laugh so much, tea went everywhere😂😂😂

Ricky : ‘What’s sort of fish is it ?’ Karl : ‘Chinese and Japanese know fish very well’ 🤣🤣🤣

Ricky uncontrollably laughing like a screeching bird at Karl; will never, ever get old.

Why is there not a 20 part series of this, must be the best bit of comedy gold on youtube! Fantastic!

Man my stomach hurts from laughing, it’s simple but hilarious.

id just wrap any old shit

I love how Karl makes up random details when he's acting out scenarios. Why was the fish store busy? He just randomly decided it was busy for no reason.

Every so often I come back to this video maybe once or twice a year just randomly. Honestly one of the funniest videos on the internet. They smell of milk 😂 Smell, stink, rank, stank stunk 😂 You smell, you shit 😂😂😂😂 So many iconic quotes all in one video 😂😂

”I’ll just wrap any ol’ shit up. You’ll like this! Tenner… Rip you off” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I've watched this at least 15 times and it's still funny .

When Karl took his initial sip of faux tea and said ‘It’s alright, that.’

Karl is a priceless friend.. Love the guy😂👌

Karl's 'what?' when Ricky says, 'Teabag okay?' 🤣

"I have a pain." "Where about is the pain?" "In my anus." "Of course it is."- Karl is not an idiot abroad. He is a comedic genius.

"This has happened to you hasn't it?" "Yeah it has." Brilliant.

I hope everyone who has watched this know about the XFM shows, the guide to and the podcasts. If not, just type in RSK compilation. I've been listening every single night for the last 6 years, I've heard all their content over and over and I'll never get bored of it. Something about it is soothing, i forget everything i got going on and just listen to those 3 rambling on

I absolutely love to watch these two. I remember when this showed up. I laughed out loud. My wife thought I was going crazy.

9:18 "id wrap any old shit up. you'll like this. tenner. rip you off" HAHAHAHHAH

This is potentially the best video ever uploaded.

What I love is the fact that someone foreign might actually search 'learn English' and THIS comes up so they watch it thinking its legitimate 😂

A classic! 11 years later, I still love it.

"Wear and where, one word, different meanings." Nailed it Karl.

Rickie is doing this purely for his own amusement. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The real crime is that there’s never been an episode2

Why does it always feel like he's my best mate in the world when I watch him, every thing you do in is pure gold Ricky, thank you for doing you

"Where. Wear." "One word, two meanings."

'Karl is bald. Karl's head is bald. Karl's head is like a fucking orange.'

I have loved this since day one! We NEED more Rick, please!!!! SO, so missed!

I laughed way too much in the middle of the night when everybody is sleeping. Oh God, I love your Ricky!

Karl is the funniest man alive. When he says “course it is” it gets me every time

Love how he can only envisage a Chinese person! "Are we focusing on Chinese?" "No." "Well we should."

Never seen such exceptional chemistry!... they absolutely complement one another... it's a gem, it's timeless... Love it!!!

Tears streaming down my face ! so good

"I have a pain." "Where abouts is the pain?" "My, anus." "Course it is" *I AM WHEEZING*

I love how Karl keeps going back to the Chinese.

Never gets old, never ever!

I wanna see Ricky Gervais play “try not to laugh” with Karl...

Karl just so invests himself into these little imaginary scenarios, i love him for it. Look at him hold his imaginary tea cup well after the skit is done lol.

Karl is the greatest person ever created. Perfectly pure in every facet....

This is absolutely brilliant. I was crying of laughter

"Rip off" "Conned" "Taken advantage of" "Done up like a kipper" "Look at this foreigner, I done him up like a kipper." lol! I'm dead 😂😂😂

Being able to see Karl rather than just hearing his voice adds a whole other dimension to how funny he is.

11:40 I think is the only time i've seen Karl laughing at what's going on 🤣🤣🤣

10 years later and it never gets old . I think I have watched this 100 times. Think this is the greatest video on youtube

*_"I'm not paid or qualified to be sorting your ass out."_* A spectacular insult for any occasion!

Ricky: What’s a kipper? Karl: *stares into space and contemplates his existence*

Favourite actor, such a genius.

I SO wish there was a part 2

This is the third video that comes up if you type in 'Learn English'.

The fucking bins out on a thursday part killed me lol

Brilliant! It's like spending half an hour with your two craziest mates ♥️

I watch this every now and then, I love how the last minute gets Real for Karl.

What makes Karl more funny is Rick's laugh. His laugh compliments Karl so much.
