Warning: Contains mild spoilers for Black Mirror Season 4, episode 6.

If there's one thing The Ricky Gervais Show and An Idiot Abroad have taught us, it's that Karl Pilkington has some unusual ideas about the world.

Turns out they make glorious Black Mirror storylines, though.

On Sunday, YouTuber matt published a video that pairs two ideas Karl Pilkington had on The Ricky Gervais Show with two storylines that crop up in the "Black Museum" episode of Black Mirror Season 4 -- the second of which, in particular, is almost spookily accurate.

And to think Ricky and Steve laughed at him at the time.
