Ricky Gervais Presents: The World of Karl Pilkington
Author: Karl Pilkington
Publisher: Hyperion
ISBN: 9781401303426
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
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."

Happyslapped by a Jellyfish
Author: Karl Pilkington
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0756643708
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
A collection of hilarious and compelling insights and anecdotes, diary entries, poems, "true" facts and cartoons on travel from The Rick Gervais Show’s unlikely star, Karl Pilkington. This is the travel book for people who don't particularly like travelling. It’s Pilkington with a suitcase, occasionally with his passport, more often with a bemused suspicion of anything vaguely exotic, and always with an observant eye for the disappointments, tedium, and general absurdity of being a tourist abroad and at home. From staring at Mount Vesuvius in case it erupts, to enduring the horrors of a Lanzarote nudist beach, to exploring the curiosities to be seen in the world's weirdest museum, Pilkington’s stories are told with his inimitable deadpan humor. And they’re always interspersed with fond reflections on life back in England, from Salford joy riders to what his girlfriend's mum and dad have for dinner on a Thursday (it's chops and veg, in case you're wondering).
