After leaving Xfm, Pilkington has reached an international audience through his appearances with Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant on The Ricky Gervais Show podcast.

Gervais has repeatedly denied suggestions that Pilkington is an invented character, claiming that Karl's unique qualities are beyond his powers of imagination. Pilkington's remark "I could eat a knob at night" made during a conversation about the 'bush tucker trials' in I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! has spawned much internet interest, as well as merchandise and music. His comic style depends on a completely deadpan delivery coupled with an apparent inability to recognise the idiocy of his world view.

Most famously known for having a head like a f**king orange.

His strong aversion to loud noises.
His dislike of changes to routine.
His inability to focus on tasks and questions.
His inability to pick up on social cues.
Difficulty learning.
Obsession about a particular subject e.g. Insects and animals

He portrays many of my own symptoms. It makes life different, but not always difficult.

I can relate to Karl here, I've always been quiet around the house, especially if others are asleep but, I always seem to be around people who don't understand the concept of being quiet, doors slamming, shouting, banging things around at 6am, it's crazy.

I like how Ricky and Steve try to paint Karl as an idiot, but this honestly is so relatable. My mom and dad aren't as bad as how Suzanne is portrayed, but they're known to try to force things when they don't work, like DVD players or lawn mowers. I may not be Mr. Fix-it, but like Karl said, "If it doesn't work, it doesn't work!" Just tell me if it's having an issue and I'll try to fix it properly or if all else fails, call someone who can, but don't try to force things or bang them like that's going to solve all your problems!

Women are just naturally loud. My mother used to get up earlier than us on weekends (when I was a kid/teen) and she'd always be banging about - nothing was ever quiet.

My sister is always breaking stuff because she forces things, then I have to go round her house and fix it.

And in my houseshare, my flatmate who is a girl is really loud in anything she does. She leaves the house at 6am and I've never heard someone who fucks around with the front door lock for so long, and she's got so many keys on her keyring you can hear them jangling from down the street. She even makes crazy amounts of noise walking up the stairs - she's only 5ft 3 but she stomps up the stairs as though she's a 300lb bloke.
