You never know if the star of the show, Karl Pilkington, is actually just being himself or playing a character and in on the joke from the start. Either way, he is one funny guy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"http:\/\/www.digital-digest.com\/blog\/DVDGuy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/sick_of_it-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4445\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.digital-digest.com\/blog\/DVDGuy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/sick_of_it-1024x682.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.digital-digest.com\/blog\/DVDGuy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/sick_of_it-250x167.jpg 250w, http:\/\/www.digital-digest.com\/blog\/DVDGuy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/sick_of_it-768x512.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.digital-digest.com\/blog\/DVDGuy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/sick_of_it-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/www.digital-digest.com\/blog\/DVDGuy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/sick_of_it.jpg 1700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Karl Pilkington wants people to know about his new show<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I haven&#8217;t seen his new show, &#8216;Sick of It&#8217; yet, but the fact that he plays two characters in it suggest that the &#8220;Idiot&#8221; was definitely more of an act. And if you haven&#8217;t seen an episode of this new show, maybe because it&#8217;s not widely available around the world at the moment, don&#8217;t fret, Karl has some suggestions for you: pirate it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When people ask Pilkington where they can see his show, he&#8217;s sending them a link to a Vimeo video where they can watch a full episode. The only problem? The video is a pirate upload.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And he&#8217;s not just done that once, he&#8217;s done it multiple times, he&#8217;s done it every time someone has asked about how to see the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not sure how the show&#8217;s network, Sky, will feel about this, but as the creator of the show, Pilkington must feel that informing people about the merits of his show is more important than silly copyright issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>======<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s pretty much it for now. To celebrate both the 20th anniversary of Digital Digest and our new YouTube channel which just hit 1,000 subscribers, we&#8217;re going to be giving away some prizes soon.
