In Ricky Gervais' new travel show An Idiot Abroad, part-time plumber and 24/7 object of derision Karl Pilkington visits the seven wonders of the world and provides unintentional comedy fodder for Gervais and creative partner Stephen Merchant.
If you're not familiar with Gervais' no-holds-barred approach -- which somehow managed to take Hollywood by surprise Sunday when the formerly tubby comedian hosted the Golden Globe Awards telecast -- you're in luck: A new roundup documents a withering array of the Brit's insult humor.
Presented by Ranker, a website that encourages visitors to compile lists, John Barryman's "The 13 Most Awesomely Offensive Ricky Gervais Bits" includes The Office creator's caustic commentaries on pudgy people, Holocaust movies, cancer, rape, bestiality, religion and the disabled.
The ridicule continues in An Idiot Abroad, which debuts Saturday at 10 p.m./9 p.m. Central on the Science Channel.
