How would he react to Corona?
>bit weird innit
He’s not dead. He is reacting to it.
>put a ash tray on my tummy for the old cold
>Why's it called Corona? Wha's wrong with jus...crown?
"i mean what's the point of dying? seems a bit... unnecessary dont it? got better things to do with my time yknow. "
>K: "So this Corvid-19 is quite the mess innit?"
>R: "Covid."
>K: "That's what I said aye?"
>R: "You said Corvid. It's CO-VID.
>*beat*
>S: "No R, just-"
>R: "He's thinking it's like a bunch of birds are causing it."
>Steven laughs while Ricky continues
>R: "Like a bunch of Crows got together and went, "Oy lads! We've 'ad enuf of dis 'ere Chinese nonsense, we're sortin it out then aye.", But then they made a mistake and it left China and went around the world."
>S: "Like it's Birds by Alfred Hitchcock".
>Ricky busts a gut while Karl just sits there.
Actual real fact: he started posting some videos of on Facebook because of the virus. They are new episodes of Rockbusters.
Karl would get a mild cold and think he's come down with it. He was always moaning about something being wrong with him
We came for Ricky, stayed for Karl.
He'd bring up the Scruffy Sandra example
second coming of bird flue
It's so unfunny, pretty damn accurate user very nice
'sabit weird innit
LET HIM FINISH RICK
wait you mean it doesn't have an R in the name? FUCK
From S1E12:
>Some scientists have come up with a cure for bird flu. It has something to do with some stuff in horses. They gave the flu to a mouse and then injected it and it's well again. I think we should stop coming up with cures for things as the germs are just getting stronger and stronger. I reckon by 2020, germs will be so big that we will be able to see them in the air. They will no longer be little particles. You wouldn't swallow one. If you did, it wouldn't be the germ that would kill you. You'd just choke to death."
I mean, the Coronavirus is a virus and not a germ and it's not gigantic. But it's 2020 and you do suffocate if you breathe it in. Is it almost true enough to brush off the inaccuracies as Karl being Karl?
>They are new episodes of Rockbusters.
Also of note, the things that Ricky says while making fun of him for this are also not entirely inaccurate. That episode is weird to watch right now.
/thread
My mom keeps pronouncing it "Corvid", and it takes all my heart to not correct her.
is there a mega for this?
KEK
Like others will point out, Karl isn't necessarily stupid. He just has absolutely no filter so stupid shit and obscure facts spill out at the same time.
Yeah, I know. I'm just saying it's weird to watch that episode and for Karl to specifically mention 2020 going to shit due to "germs" and then Rick making fun of him by saying that he'll probably shut himself up in his house and meticulously clean things in fear of becoming infected. That's just a really big coincidence.
had karl been born in 1850, he would have been the villages wise guy that everyone would have asked his opinion on.
I feel he would say it came out from a monkey, and Ricky would disregard him and say is just a flu.
"It's like, there's been flus before, haven't there? Hardly shut down the whole country do we?"
I can hear it
or the village idiot since alot of people now think hes stupid when hes not
Golly, Thanks.
NGL I did too until I realized it was Covid.
