An Idiot Abroad is a British travel documentary television series broadcast on Sky1 and Science, as well as spin-off books published by Canongate Books, created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant and starring Karl Pilkington. The ongoing theme of both the television series and the books is that Pilkington has no interest in global travel, so Merchant and Gervais make him travel while they stay in the United Kingdom and monitor his progress.

    I love the show. Can't tell if he's an idiot or a genius.

    Comes off like Ricky Gervais spending a tremendous amount of network money strictly to make fun of some guy called Kyle. It ranges from completely unfunny to mean-spirited and explotative.
