Take a look at this hilarious video I just found: *caution! some swearing involved*

Karl Pilkington - Bull**** Man - YouTube

I'm sure everyone's tired of seeing the same old hyped up sales pages and products being pumped out every other day that never deliver. Don't get me wrong, some of them are great and are of tremendous value, but most of the time they're just absolute hogwash.
Now wouldn't it be brilliant if we could have some sort of service or someone like the guy illustrated in the video to moderate sales pages and hyped up products for us?

"Just discovered! Hobo 15-year-old school drop-out stumbled upon this underground "loop-hole" that makes him 9,000,000$ a da-"

*woosh!* "BULL****!!"

PS: Sorry if this is in the wrong forum.

I loved the commercial where they were trying to convince him to be positive about the show, and he said something off-center about the audience.

Then they told him, "You just called our audience idiots."

And his body language said, "Well?"

Never heard of the guy but it's something I'd love to see on TV. Something like the Apprentice would suit him great.

I wouldn't say he's not a comedian, just a 'special' man with really funny ideas . You can watch more of him on 'An Idiot Abroad' (that's where I found out about the clip), or you can listen to the Ricky Gervais podcast where he has the funniest conversations with two other people.
Careful though, these shows are not family friendly as you could probably imagine.

HBO has the "Ricky Gervais Show" based on his podcast talks with his partner (Steven Merchant) the co creator of "The Office" and Karl Pilkinton that is transferred into cartoon format. It looks like the Flintstone style of animation. It's the funniest thing because basically it revolves around Karl Pilkinton and he is funny. The reason he is funny because he is oblivious to what he is saying which makes him funny. On a few occasion I almost bust my gut laughing at his odd ball thoughts when he says them out loud. And also his other show "Idiot Abroad" is quite amusing. Ricky Gervais is a genius for giving the world Karl Pilkinton. He defiantly saw a gem in that man. Brilliant!
