As a brit I really enjoyed route 66!

2025-04-15 22:14:42 +0000 UTCYeah Van Halen had no sense of humour about it and tried to have it taken down

2025-04-14 19:00:09 +0000 UTCThere’s another version of this where Karl actually sings with Glee. He sings Jump by Van Halen in his special manc voice and it’s brilliant😆

2025-03-31 14:20:12 +0000 UTCI’ve bought it on DVD at least twice, originally when it first came out - the book is good too and goes into way more detail- always nice when the show appears in the wild though

2025-03-17 17:29:10 +0000 UTCI remember that it was pretty cool.

2025-03-17 16:17:02 +0000 UTCYeah you don’t really see it much at all and I haven’t watched it since it first aired. And who wouldn’t want more Karl?

2025-03-17 15:42:48 +0000 UTCAs someone else mentioned, its a 'Smart' car, which was pretty popular for a while in the UK. Jointly owned by Mercedes-Benz. So small you can park them facing the curb rather than having to parallel park it. Loved this reaction, thankyou!

2025-03-17 09:07:44 +0000 UTC"exploding stuff with a gun, thats America" probably shouldn't be something to be proud of Jess 😂

2025-03-17 03:44:49 +0000 UTCI feel like no one reacts to Moaning of Life and its great ! I hope they don’t skip it
Nichole Hutchison
2025-03-17 01:57:47 +0000 UTCI absolutely love both your reactions and Jess, your laugh is so contagious!

2025-03-16 22:09:59 +0000 UTCThx version doesn’t have his solo singing jump by van Halen https://youtu.be/LrWR-hmXFpE?si=pkt8PHta4yTI6piE

2025-03-16 21:06:26 +0000 UTCI believe the plane thing is a full day’s training which they condensed into 5 minutes. My theory is he must have enjoyed it or been happy with the safety procedures. Or maybe a monkey was flying the plane, so that put him at ease 😂

2025-03-16 20:32:19 +0000 UTCIf you guys do Moaning of Life after Idiot Abroad, you’ll lose your minds at some of the stuff he gets up to. It’s even weirder.
Julian T
2025-03-16 20:25:32 +0000 UTCI can't believe they cut that out, as it's one of the funniest Karl moments ever.

2025-03-16 18:58:18 +0000 UTCRoute 1, the west coast highway, is gorgeous. I drove from LA up to San Francisco one time.

2025-03-16 18:56:00 +0000 UTCI tried putting that on YouTube a bit back but it was worldwide blocked unfortunately
Danny
2025-03-16 18:41:12 +0000 UTCIt’s a city commuter car for European streets
Kieran B
2025-03-16 17:58:58 +0000 UTCIf you can get hold of it the comedian Dave Gorman did a documentary called America Unchained where he attempted to cross the US only using independent stores and gas stations - this was about 15+ years ago, don’t think you’d even consider trying it now
Kieran B
2025-03-16 17:50:13 +0000 UTCIllinois to California is where Route 66 covers 😁 (Chicago to LA)
Kieran B
2025-03-16 17:48:07 +0000 UTCgood choice, Karl, that Mr leather club was bout to go full cuddle party with you as the squeaky toy, Steve spent hours researching that one. My knowledge on the Amish goes as far as Kingpin and not to milk a bull.

2025-03-16 16:47:31 +0000 UTCI saw a couple of years ago, Valerie was looking at having to leave the place they did cuddle parties. They needed $200k to rent the land again or something like that. So now they just move around to different places. They have a website https://cuddleparty.com/

2025-03-16 16:41:29 +0000 UTCBilly Connolly has a really good Route 66 show. It is on YouTube but they are poorly titled, annoyingly when I tried to upload my version of it, it was worldwide blocked on 1 episode, so I never bothered with it. He did a follow on from it crossing America by train. Its really good. More interesting than comedy as he meets real people and touches on social issues in certain areas. Just 3 episodes on the train one https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUnLY9kEwvJyykX5VnsZuymfSFeSYDSR3

2025-03-16 16:19:16 +0000 UTCThey bring the monster jam to the UK now too. It's pretty popular over here, they fill stadiums
James Aston
2025-03-16 15:37:42 +0000 UTCIt was just a Smart car.. I don't know if they're bigger in the US but it didn't look any smaller than the ones we have in the UK to me.

2025-03-16 15:34:33 +0000 UTCI think the car was a Renault Twingo, although I could be wrong.
Simon Cross
2025-03-16 15:31:20 +0000 UTCThis was my favourite episode ever, Karl is a freaking legend. Karl Comes Home and season 3 are so good too though. And a Moaning of Life. 🔥
Terrahawk
2025-03-16 15:29:28 +0000 UTCThat was in a UK broadcast version only. The standalone scene is available on YouTube. I've yet to find a HD version of the episode. Likewise, Born to be Wild was replaced with a cover instead of the original. All about saving money not paying royalties I guess
Danny
2025-03-16 15:03:56 +0000 UTCCant wait for this one later guys!

2025-03-16 14:49:40 +0000 UTCMike and Jess - here's the bit you missed: https://youtu.be/ZKZ1oEGKnTs
Dan G, Leicester
2025-03-16 14:39:39 +0000 UTCHe does.
Terrahawk
2025-03-16 14:39:25 +0000 UTCHe did! Just came here to comment the same thing - for some reason Karl dancing and singing to Van Halen's 'Jump' (in that purple shirt) has been replaced with a much less funny bit 🙁
Dan G, Leicester
2025-03-16 14:37:16 +0000 UTCPre-emptive like. 🔥
Terrahawk
2025-03-16 14:30:58 +0000 UTCI don’t know if I’m misremembering but I could swear Karl sang ‘Jump’ in this episode on stage with the Glee cast?
Liam Joyce
2025-03-16 14:29:23 +0000 UTCLove that Karl would rather do the wing walk rather than dance on stage 🤣
