how can one person be so pompous?
How can one person be so pompous?
God I fucking hate the Charlie Brown artstyle. Why youtubers would use that as a basis for their avatars is a mystery.
Well he’s an atheist
And not just a casual one either
>make it big on some comedy work, get a devoted fan base
>move on to social justice, realize people give a shit about what you say
>get recognized as an intellectual, so he doesn't have to hide his opinions behind humility or lack of conviction
Not everyone has the seed of a douche in them, but with enough nourishment and care, those douche seeds bloom into massive douchebag trees with firm roots.
That's more Hannah-Barbera than Peanuts/Schultz
atheist + british + new money
this. and neither one is popular amongst youtubers.
Even before he got really big, though.
I remember listening to old episodes of the full podcasts, and him and Steve were decrying the lord of the rings movies as being 'childish drivel' back when they came out, and talking about how they didn't understand why they were so popular.
what a cunt. You'd think an Englishman would have some appreciation for Tolkien.
>You'd think an Englishman would have some appreciation for Tolkien
Why? The English are notorious for being stuck-up, unappreciative cunts.
>Before he got really big
He was already pretty huge before the podcast, wasn't he?
Partially could have something to do with Tolkien being a devout Catholic
he didn't even touch on that. I'm paraphrasing here, but IIRC his criticism was something like
>"oh, the morlogs are at war with the nim nams" why should I care?
like he just dismissed it offhand for being in the fantasy genre.
The cartoon/podcast would be nothing without Karl.
If you want to be an outspoken atheist, by all means do it. Be someone who's always up for a debate, always has the facts at hand, and is willing to concede points, like Hitchens or Dawkins or Harris or any of the other famous atheists. If you want, you can do comedy that touches upon it. But you can't make a career out of just saying "I'm smarter than most people because I'm an atheist. Yeah, now get offended." It's more than obnoxious and it paints every atheist in a terrible light.
that's ricky gervais, not a storytime animator user.
I remember this.
>"Oh, Tolkien, he's a genius! you know he invented his own language!" Big whoop, Karl invents a new word every week!
he's FAT
>youtuber
user, I...
But you also need the straight men to react to Karl's unique worldview.
Steve also made fun of WWF Smackdown, unaware he would be making a wrestling themed movie with The Rock 15 years later
As much as I dislike Ricky Gervais, he did bring Karl Pilkington to the world. Speaking of which, have any of the main three done anything recently? I know Steve was in Jojo Rabbit.
reminds me of Egoraptor saying
>If I ever make a let's play, kill me
If there is any justice in the work Karl is right back to quietly producing radio
Leave him be
My dad said Gervais's new show is very good. I haven't seen it but my dad's taste is pretty good.
Producing is underutilizing his talent. He deserves his own quiet little show, granted part of Steve's appeal was someone egging him on
>He deserves his own quiet little show
An Idiot Abroad?
I've grown to hate the bastard ever since "the Invention of Lying". I've never seen a movie jerk off an actor as hard as that movie did, it was literally just 90 minutes of him believing he's the smartest person in the world and that he has the whole world under his thumb. It was painful to watch, especially knowing that's how he truly sees himself.
He was in The Willoughby's recently, and he was the worst part about the film by a VERY wide margin.
I wonder what Karl's doing these days.
>Charlie Brown
Lol no it's the Flintstones. He even has the little nub ears.
To be fair everyone shite on Ricky. He's okay. He just eggs Karl on.
Merchant is a lanky virgin wanker who was a clear bulky victim at school and thinks his book smarts makes up for his complete lack of social skills and abilities to attract girls. Speccy git.
I find Merc far more tolerable than Ricky, since he's clearly the neutral party between the two and rarely takes sides. He did admit he's two steps away from being a serial killer though, so you're probably bot wrong.
Merchant is forever based for the Norm episode where Norm tries to trigger him
He's such an incredibly stupid twat on every level imaginable. He loves nothing more than jumping into arguments that has nothing to do with him and always take the side of the one he considers morally superior without ever bothering with facts. He is what you would call a proto-SJW through and through, because everything he does comes from an insincere place and is manufactured to gain the maximum amount of clout and brownie points. He loves the gays, he loves the blacks, he wants all of Britain to become Pakistan and it can't happen soon enough.
A wretched, terrible ugly little gnat of a person, soulless and hollow.
