In this clip from the Ricky Gervais/Stephen Merchant comedy ‘Life’s Too Short’ (starring Warwick Davis) Johnny Depp goes to see Ricky Gervais and tears into him about the Golden Globes.

Karl eats a knob at night

Those of you who are familiar with Karl Pilkington (which is most of you if you’re here) will remember his famous “knob at night” quote. When discussing the challenges on I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here during an episode of the Ricky Gervais Show podcast, Karl said that he couldn’t eat a kangaroo penis on an empty stomach and mused, “I could eat a knob at night.” That quote spread like wildfire and make Karl an icon. Now, thanks to An Idiot Abroad, it seems that Karl really did eat a knob, though I’m not sure if it was at night.
