I like it
but I seriously don't get why they keep laughing every few seconds. Sheesh.

You gotta watch the show and hear the kind of things Karl says. That's why they (well Ricky mostly) laughs almost every second.

Ricky is a flipping hyena.

He cracks up at pretty much everything out of Karl's mouth. Even when it's not funny. (Although Karl does say silly things a lot.)

Because Ricky Gervais is just kind of a dick. The "joke" is that they think Karl is exceptionally stupid.

I always feel bad for Karl. Here, and on "An Idiot Abroad," they just mess with him all the time. I don't know, I guess I don't get the humor when I'm usually agreeing with Karl.

It's mostly Ricky that bothers me...Stephen messes with him a bit, but he doesn't do so gleefully and with malice aforethought like Ricky does.

You've got a point. Thinking on it, it's usually Ricky calling him on A Idiot Abroad with something like, "Hey, we had this great idea! We're going to stage a kidnapping by terrorists, only it's all fake! Ha ha!" Might have been nice if he got that voice mail before they kidnapped him and scared the shit out of him.

I do like that show, because I like getting the everyman view of these places. It's different than a travel show because it's a simpler viewpoint. And Karl in his own way has an interesting insight into some of these places.

While I agree that Karl is a bit slow off the mark here, I can't say I enjoy watching him being mocked. 'HA HA HA, you stupid person, you're thinking too much!' Doesn't do it for me.
