The Night In A Cave | An Idiot Abroad S1E3

"While in Petra, Jordan, Karl has to spend a night in a cave and finds that his ""accommodation"" is not what he expected.

His observation that living in rocks opposite the palace with a beautiful view was preferable to living in the palace and looking at rocks is one of the wittiest I’ve ever heard.

"Maybe I was born too late". He's amazingly profound at times.

[TheActualCaveman]

I bet that night was rad. Id love to camp out in a cave in Petra with some beers and grilled chicken. One of the few times Karl was satisfied with his sleeping arrangement.

"Because it's funny" *then hangs up
LOL love Ricky

[heliopyre]

I love how quickly he adapted and enjoyed living in the cave. not quite the reaction from Karl that Ricky and Steve were hoping for.

[charathcutestory]

i love when Karl says something profound, and then takes it one step to far, “be the ugly one, look at the nice one.”

"Be the ugly one, look at the nice one." Karl Pilkington

I'm so happy that Karl enjoyed the cave, and that it was above his low expectations

[davidburgess]

i love how he learns to deeply appreciate it so quickly

[stuv]

That looks like an awesome fucking cave.

[jmm]

Karl got a point, it is a nice view from the hole

[manifestgtr]

“This is an all time low, I

That’s one of the most hilarious aspects of this show. There are one or two points throughout the series where Karl hits his lifetime rock bottom.

[Carrileros]

This is the best part of the series. He wasn't open-minded at first (don't blame him) but he quickly adapted and enjoyed it.

[hisdukeness]

Goes from absolutely hating it to loving it lol

[deltaromeo]

Better to look at the palace from the hole, than in the palace looking at the hole. Dang, he's actually quite a thoughtful guy sometimes. Gonna start researching all seasons from today, he's hilarious.

[love_truth_freedom]

Ironically I think Karl is more intelligent than Ricky and Steve put together.
He is raw, he is real, he is an absolute LEGEND!

[sorchamarie]

Be the ugly one, look at the nice one! 😂

[jansveen]

Karl is a true existentialist, and he is the smart one of the lot.

[johndalenino]

"You're better off living in the hole looking at the palace, than live in a palace looking at a hole"

That's quite profound, honestly

[marv]

I love that Karl is on the Discovery Channel lmao right round-headed twonk
