Karl Pilkington Bücher

Zu Hause ist es doch am schönsten ... Der witzigste Idiot der Welt ist zurück! Seine Kumpels Ricky Gervais und Stephen Merchant stellen Karl vor die Herausforderung, die ultimative »Bucket List« abzuarbeiten. Darauf stehen 100 Dinge, die man erlebt haben muss, bevor man stirbt. Dass Karl von all diesen Dingen rein gar nichts hält, ist klar. Warum zur Hölle sollte sich irgendjemand von wilden Stieren durch Pamplona jagen lassen wollen? Oder sich im »Tornado Valley« auf die Suche nach einem Wirbelsturm begeben? Einen Eisberg berühren? Dem Papst die Hand schütteln? Mit den Massai leben? Nein, danke. Natürlich lässt Karl sich trotzdem überzeugen, sich erneut zum Affen zu machen, und hält mit seinen Meinungen darüber, was andere Menschen in ihrem Leben so anstreben, nicht hinterm Berg …

Andere Länder, andere Toiletten – ein durchgeknallter Engländer auf Reisen Sieben Weltwunder der Moderne – und ein Reisemuffel, wie er im Buche steht. Karl Pilkington wäre lieber daheim geblieben, als seinen Kumpels als Versuchskaninchen und Anschauungsobjekt zu dienen: als beklopptester, verpeiltester, unentspanntester Reisender zu Urlaubszielen, über die jeder Normalsterbliche jauchzen würde. Karl indes macht sich zum Vollidioten, wo er auch geht und steht – und schildert seine nicht immer schönen und besonders gern die schlimmen Reiseerlebnisse. Britischer Humor von seiner besten Seite! Inzwischen auch im deutschen Fernsehen auf DMAX: die Kult-Serie aus Großbritannien!
