This is, by far, one of the funniest shows I have ever seen. Perhaps even the funniest, as I cannot remember ever laughing so long and so hard for almost the entire duration of any show I have ever seen. Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant ask Karl Pilkington random questions, and then when Karl Pilkington starts to talk, it is some of the most random bizarre nonsense that comes out of Karl's mouth.
When I saw the first season, I was with friends, and we all laughed so much, we just couldn't stop. Then we re-watched some of the episodes later to catch the bits we missed while laughing, and we just kept laughing, not only at what we had missed, but even at the stuff we knew was coming, because it is so absolutely ridiculous, the things that Karl says, thinks, and the ideas he comes out with....then you pair it with animation to illustrate the stories told, and it's pure genius.
I am only now starting the second season,, but I can so far say, I am in no way disappointed. It has started off strong, and just as good and entertaining as the first season!
