Karl Pilkington's 11 Best Moanings Of Life Ever

“Kids are like farts in that way. They never seem to bother the owner as much as they bother everyone else.”

Karl Pilkington is the supreme leader of normal-ness. It's almost impossible to believe one man's misery could prove to be so incredibly entertaining, and that one of the most genuinely hilarious men on television could also turn out to be the most frustrating human being since the world was nothing more than a misshapen rock.

A stressed-out Karl can't deal with the situation.
