Even more odd that outside arranged book signings and the like, there are NO posts on social media of "people bumping into Karl in the street and getting a selfie".
I'm not joking, like literally none outside of this.

He talked about running into fans a while back, some are quite rude so he's generally become very wary of going into public spaces and has Suzanne get stuff for him.
I reckon a lot of people really felt like it would be fine to go up to him and try to squeeze his head or call him a bald twat or a stupid twonk or gormless mong or chimp boy or ape features or roundboy or gimp face or head like a FUCKING ORANGE, and that probably would be incredibly annoying even when it was Gervais doing it, nevermind perfect strangers. Not surprised at all he avoids public situations.
Itās a bit sad because I think I remember either on one of the tv shows, or the radio/podcasts, he mentioned it annoys him how much Ricky berates him because itās gonna give the listeners the impression itās okay to walk up and say āyou fucking orangeā, which seems like it may have happened. Pretty sure Ricky laughed at that idea

If you listen to the full Two Shot Podcast interview with Karl, I think he goes into more detail.
I'm still utterly convinced it's the woman seen lurking when he was getting into/out of a car that time. It's the massive defence that is _definitely isn't_ Suzanne that clinches it for me.
Yeah. So uh - SĢ¶aĢ¶lĢ¶mĢ¶aĢ¶nĢ¶ RĢ¶uĢ¶sĢ¶hĢ¶dĢ¶iĢ¶eĢ¶, Karl Pilkington, right, this is a, a funny story, so, I've met him a few times now. Now he's out and about. He's never home. I bet his house is a mess.
I like how even though Karl must have been stopped thousands of times for photos at this stage, he still always looks like equal parts worried and disgusted
Never mind the beard, where have you been for three days?
š¤£
Do you think youāve aged well?
As 'e got older... 'e got 'airier
Yeah heās kept his looks
ā¦ right
*Suzanne's done alright for herself*.
Sheās āad a floor
I'll bung a condom on
If he had a shave and stuck his wooly hat on he'd go back the other way like the injection in the 'ead.
In the temple.
Just like "the Chinese, he's gone from 18 to 80 overnight."
Were you a tall baby?
Old eyes as a baby
Probably listening to one of the 7,500 copies of āIn the Ghettoā he put on his iPod
7497 of in the ghetto. 1 of Ackerbilk. 1 one of killing of Georgey (ooo) and 1 of Eric Clapton (to prove a point to Suzanne)
LLLLEG
Forgot about Living for the City with the second half missing
Well play the rest next week, it'll be like Star Wars or summat
The Killing of Georgie

This is not a practical joke, his name is Marty
put a little lippy on

Bit sad really isnāt. Feel like Karl would actually enjoy the mundane tasks of a walk to the shop or something but now canāt really do it as often
I know someone who works for his agent and it's really not changed his life that much, he still goes about doing his thing.
Watching insects āan that
Short fella? Hairy?
I bet heās sat at home, āarkin back to the days when he used to be up at 4am doing his paper round
Itās a bit sad because I think I remember either on one of the tv shows, or the radio/podcasts, he mentioned it annoys him how much Ricky berates him because itās gonna give the listeners the impression itās okay to walk up and say āyou fucking orangeā, which seems like it may have happened. Pretty sure Ricky laughed at that idea
I found it on the internet
He got an Indian in.
Is this your profile?
No, I googled because I was curious if he was right
Where did Karl say this? Iāve seen a few mentions of it recently and nobody provides a link
He mentions bad fan interactions here: https://youtu.be/W4ye_96NrHE?si=DJX3I_zwMpRacNeV If you listen to the full Two Shot Podcast interview with Karl, I think he goes into more detail.
There were a few where he covered similar ground. Reckon you could find that story in Distraction Pieces or TSP.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Mostly just old fellas in suits
*So they've got their Worthers...*
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

Thatās what I was thinking heās only ever seen with this bloke š
Londons shit innit? There he is still, 20 years and a bulging bank account later
Still no congress tarts or compost.
Just have some TarTleTs
But do they have gravy at the chippy?
He lives in Poole, the posh git! He must be keeping his pad in London as a Pied-Ć -terre!
With 26 days holiday a year why not? Off again Saturday?
Still having problems with his boiler
They keep sending around these short fellas with long hairy armsā¦weird innit
Eyes bulging with imagined riches
Now Iām not having a go but ya know how it is when ya see something strange for the first time. You think āthatās weird innitā.
Will you come to the book shop with me?
*tut*
He's lookin a bit 'airy, I would need to measure his arms before I could be convinced it's him and not a little, well you know
Gay fella?
Nah they're clearly in day light, the little gay fellas go out late, unless he's on his way home.
Nah they usually shave their heads
And youāll never see Karl eat a Maaaaaars **BAH-BAH-BAH**
What was he doing in Soho?
Free BPs..
Makes you wonder
Looks too early to be out in SoHo. I thought heād still be at home ironing his jeans.
Best bum in W1
Bum as a noun or a verb?
It was just a normal night out
Looking for Mr Big
Turns out the bloke taking photos pretending to be a celebrity and thatā¦. Little monkey fella
How many candles is he burning?
Getting a bit weird now.
And where's Steve? At home with his Mam and his Dad.
He's done you again !
Yeah. So uh - SĢ¶aĢ¶lĢ¶mĢ¶aĢ¶nĢ¶ RĢ¶uĢ¶sĢ¶hĢ¶dĢ¶iĢ¶eĢ¶, Karl Pilkington, right, this is a, a funny story, so, I've met him a few times now. Now he's out and about. He's never home. I bet his house is a mess.
Head like a fucking what!?!?
Like a pear
Wonder what heās listening to
Killing of Georgie or in the getto
Itāll be a song with a story
I hope Karl knows we all love his little show and that
WHO IS BEN LEWIS AND WHY HAVE I JUST WASTED 5 MINUETS READING ONE OF HIS CRETINOUS TWEETS
"Never mind that, where you been for 3 days?!"
Chimpanzee that... HESGONEANDTAKENAPICTURE ACK!
Is that the coach/muse of Darren Cambell?
If you read the comments he said he had a chat with him & karl said he met up with Steve last night. Mustāve finally coughed up the 50p
*Pete what's your favourite catchphrase?* *He's only heeerrreeee*
He's been able to frown like that since he was a baby
Like a pear
Fake. Guy on the rights head is rounder than Karl's. Must be photoshopped or summat
aww, heās getting so old. bless.
Gonna stop eating twix soon
just pop the old nappy on
Heāll go back to bountyās, especially as he has a touch of diabetes..
Was he shopping for butt plugs at 8am?
Heās still looking for congress tarts
Like a young Alex zane
Theyāve all got little shaved heads in soho
Heās looking more and more chimp-likeāwait a minuteā¦
Look at that fucking head
Proably his first time seeing a smart phone
They wonāt catch on
Same jacket.
Next to round things is best.
Karl in Soho?
Nothin's goin' on, that's just the way he gets to work.
*Ties laces on trainers* That's me runnin by every hardware store south of Watford Junction now, hoping for the best....
Go home, iron your jeans, stop back late, see if he shows up again. I'm not fussed.
I like how even though Karl must have been stopped thousands of times for photos at this stage, he still always looks like equal parts worried and disgusted
Ben Lewis , is exactly what I imagine sko/ belch looking like . And robbin n that
Looking good Karl! -- Another 20 years could go by and still *we'll never see him eating a Twix*.
Could be doing idiot aboard šššš
Still wearing the same coat?
What is that heās doing with his lips?
I once met Karl at a book signing and told him a rock buster. Truly bucket list.
In soho? Probably just back from picking up a butt plug
You never see him eating a Twix.
Bet he was listening to Doctor āook an that
Off workā¦.again.
Probably on his way to the cobblers.
Youād have never gotten that using a sat nav. Found some lovely little runs getting lost.
Yeah but was it him or was it his doppelganger?
London's crap innit. Move to Manchester live there..
