During The Ricky Gervais Show's run on XFM in the early 2000s, Karl Pilkington rarely laughed, even while saying some of the most ridiculous things imaginable. But every so often, Karl would laugh, whether because he realized his own absurdity, or Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant had said something so hilarious that he simply couldn't contain himself. In these precious moments, Karl's laughter really is infectious. Enjoy!
