| [[The Chinese Don't Age Well]] is a theory from [[Karl Pilkington]]. Karl claims that Chinese people (he may be referring to Oriental people in general) look older than they actually are. Originally discussed on [[Xfm]], the theory was also mentioned on 'Meet Karl Pilkington', a 20 minute interview with Karl on Ricky's [[Politics]] DVD.

| | |
| According to Karl, on the Politics DVD, a "little Chinese Fella" is "like a pear", and just ages over night. After hearing Ricky's response, that the oldest man in the world is Chinese (at 120), Karl says he's probably 30.

| ==Songs of Phrase==
| |
| On [[02 August 2003]], the 'popular phrase' was used for Karl's [[Songs Of Phrase]] quiz. It was the second time that Phil Bailey's ''Chinese Wall'' was used for the word 'Chinese' in the quiz. The actual phrase used in the quiz was; "I know you're just 16, but looking all of 21, that's because the Chinese look older"

| ==Response==
| |
| There have been many discussions relating to Chinese people in the show, but this is the most frequent. In [[28_May_2005|one instance]], a listener on Xfm contacted the show asking how long he had before his Chinese fiance started looking old; Karl's advice is to "get some good wedding photos", implying that she is about to start looking old (he later said that they "go overnight, like a pear"). Typically, Ricky and [[Stephen Merchant|Steve]] dismiss this theory as nothing.
