Idiot Abroad

I posted about this show a few weeks ago and the post was a big old bust-a-roo...but the show is SO darn funny that I feel compelled to post again.

Ricky Gervais is basically playing a practical joke on one of his friends by sending him around the world to see the 7 wonders. During his journey the poor guy is put in extreme situations that are absolutely hysterical!

It is on the science channel (no clue what channel this is I just capture it in my DVR)

Has anyone else seen it?! Anyone?!

Freaking hysterical! I am SO happy to find an IdiotA friend!!!

What about when the older Chinese woman cooked 'toads' for him and then force fed him?!

There is something about Karl that just makes me laugh!

Have you seen Peru or Jordan?!

Even just thinking about Karl and his adventures makes me laugh out loud!I enjoyed it the first time..enjoyed it more the second time...and now I am fully hooked! It totally grows on you! There is something about the way he mumbles...I just love it!

DH and I sit on the couch and belly laugh
