Who Wants To Be A Pilkington - App Of The Week



Everyone knows Karl Pilkington, the loveable chimp like orange shaped head idiot. There are plenty of words to describe Karl, however with a doubt is one of the funniest guys on the planet, whether its intentional or not I don't know, nor frankly care as whatever the guy touches is pure gold ever from the podcasts up to his latest work in Derek and Idiot Abroad.

Now he even has a App dedicated to him, its based on the popular show "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire," instead of answering questions about general knowledge. You answer questions about Karl and his many outrageous quotes and questions about his time on both Idiot Abroad and his Podcasts, granted if you have only watch the cult TV serious you will really struggle however even if you don't know the answer, the questions alone make you laugh. For theses of you who are obsessed with the guys brilliance you will love it. There are around 500 questions to answer so there is a variety, though be aware and expect some questions to repeat after a few goes put the game is not really based around the hours of playtime.Its just great to play when you are on break at work or when your just chilling down for a few laughs and to test your knowledge.

There is a few entertaining twists such as instead of the "phone a friend" and "ask the audience" options you receive on the TV quiz show. In a comical approach you know receive the option to "ask some monkeys" and "phone Susanna" which is just a simple but entertaining feature which helps the atmosphere of the game. As well, there is a little orange beside each answer symbolising how Ricky Gervais describes the shape of his head. There is also the option to upload your scores onto Facebook to compare your knowledge of Karl with your friends.

Overall it is a really enjoyable game full of humour, there maybe difficult questions for those who are not as familiar but the best part its free and will provide you with plenty of laughs. Its a good app and well worth a few plays to see if you can score a million.

7/10
