An Idiot Abroad

Audience emotional responses are primarily driven by Humor, Joy, and Happiness, reflecting the show's core as a comedy centered on Karl Pilkington's unique and often bewildered reactions to unfamiliar cultures and situations. Curiosity and Anticipation are also significant, as viewers are eager to see Karl's next misadventure and how he'll react to the challenges and pranks set by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant. Empathy is present as audiences sometimes feel for Karl's discomfort or genuine struggles, while Satisfaction and Relief come from witnessing his journey and the resolution of comedic situations. A sense of Awe can also arise from the exotic and often spectacular travel destinations, despite Karl's frequently unimpressed perspective.
