I think these started popping up on my recommended like last week and I'm stunned this stuff has been up on TH-cam for years and I'm just now learning about it.
Her real name is Diane Morgan. As well as creating the character she plays in this programe, she's also been cast in some good sitcoms. I recommend After Life and Motherland for some more of her work. Especially Motherland as she's one of the leading roles in that and is particularly brilliant.
The thing I love about her the most is how she seamlessly starts a sentence with a very natural track of words and then randomly takes a U turn and the whole meaning to that sentence changes along with the potential answer that would have been.
true. there's a scene where she talks to a historian about the cold war and breaks out in tears after being told the threat of nuclear war still exists
It's like listening to a foreign song you don't understand, you think it's the best thing in your life, then you read the lyrics and realise it's completely nonsense
Some middle east cultures still value death and afterlife more than they value life, they believe life on earth are just a transition period, some believe that dying for god will bring splendid rewards in the afterlife.

Her delivery of this line is godlike, amongst so many other gems in this collection. Just brilliance.
Ok but "If I think therefore I am, what about other people? Do they think therefore they am?" is genuinely a good philosophical continuation Being able to think proves you have real consciousness, but how do you account for other people?
@@RTaco My understanding was that being able to think proves you have at least some kind of consciousness and exist in some way, even if in a dream, simulation, illusion or something like that. But yes, either way that leaves the question of being able to account for other people.

Philomina’s mate Paul sounds switched on. We need more free-thinking intellectuals like him
I would like to be, that mate, Paul.
Paul is a man of culture. His adventures are unhinged. I wanna be his friend as well
He said if he ever sees Christ again he's a dead man...
Too bad he was tragically maimed in a car crash…
@@Hanakin-Sidewalker you’re shitting me
She's like if The Doctor regenerated and became a documentarian
Literally my first thought while watching this
Could be his granddaughter or daughter. Imagine if they bought back Tennant for a few episodes with her. It would be insane.
@@Cletus-Hellfire Now would be a good time while Tennant's back for a short time lol
More like mockumentaries
@@auggie3725 He should be back permanently and so should the writers. Even the aliens went down after hiss departure for some reason.
her pointing at the word "...anus" and smile fucking sent me 7:12
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Didnt even notice that, thanks
6:11 I always thought Prof Brian Cox was a groovy guy (even taking the D:Ream thing into account), but I'm stunningly impressed by this - not a hint of a flinch, or an eyebrow raise and he even manages to say a word. Whereas I, a 58 year old, have had this bit on repeat for a while unable to see the screen through tears and trying not to fall off my chair through my energetic childish giggling. Her delivery of this line is godlike, amongst so many other gems in this collection. Just brilliance.
The "Latin for angry hill" gets me every bloody time.
I'm so mad I didn't know about this lady until I watched Death to 2020. Diane is an absoute treasure!
I first saw her on her interview about “came a lot”
@@emm3846 Oh! So THAT'S where the yt recommendations came from!
Who's Diane?
@@LangstonDev Diane Morgan is Philomena's real name
Watch After Life. It is a comedy but also features real topics.
2:02 he malfunctioned
And the guy before!
I'm not exaggerating I choked on my saliva laughing when I read this 😭💀
She’s a genius. I laugh my heart out every time I watch her show.
Ok but "If I think therefore I am, what about other people? Do they think therefore they am?" is genuinely a good philosophical continuation
Being able to think proves you have real consciousness, but how do you account for other people?
hello clegane!
That's what the original quote was about, right? That the only thing you can know for certain is that you exist.
@@RTaco My understanding was that being able to think proves you have at least some kind of consciousness and exist in some way, even if in a dream, simulation, illusion or something like that.
But yes, either way that leaves the question of being able to account for other people.
Solipsism in a nutshell
Philomina: “Are you thinking therefore you am right _now?”_
The dude: 🤔
Brain exe stopped working.
the way it went from indoor plumbing to cunnilingus had me fucking dying at 2:10
If she weren't so damn hilarious, she'd be one of the most relaxing presenters in all of documentary production
Also, Latin for "angry hill" kills me every time
She's not afraid to ask the tough questions.
She's not afraid to ask _any_ questions.
That woman's face after what she says at 6:19 is priceless
At that exact moment i hear what sounds like Oblivion music 😅
She realized there was no mystery at all
Hello science man 🙂!
“What about acid-jazz?”
*”EHMHUOoooooooohmmm”*
She's comedic genius and I'm forever going to be soiling my undergarments to this
"...Are you think therefore you am right now?" This whole bit is existential genius, and I pray the interviewee saw that.
I am so sad I just found out about this character literally yesterday. I haven’t laughed so much in my life.
Watch all cunk on britain, cunk on shakespeare, cunk on christmas, and moments of wonder. The best mockumentary ever exist!
You just know it's going to be epic when she says "my mate Paul"
I picture her and Paul trollopsing over the world like it’s a playground, pushing others and giggling
She is so flawless at acting. Just perfect ❤
The experts reactions are so good that I'm left wondering if they're acting or if they werent actually told that they're being recorded for a comedy show
Some are told to treat philomena like a dumb kid. Selected few didnt have any idea at all. It was about 30 mins or more for the interview. We only get to see the few bits..
It is actually all acting but as well they’re real experts since philomena cunk isn’t real and is played by Diane Morgan
@@mubaraksenju7521that's why her interviews are almost as fever dreamish as Eric Andre's
She said on a talk show that the experts are told it’s a comedy but not told the questions
“Was she part giraffe, or could he just not do necks?”
I can’t 😹🤣
"Pompeii was so advanced that they had their own volcano, which is Latin for angry hill"
I can't even lol
She is like a 4 year old who knows all the answers to the questions and gets a kick out of challenging so-called experts. 🤣
Imaging this are the questions god would ask humanity 🤭🤣.
“How many three wise men where there?”
“Who knows?”
Peak content right here ladies and gentlemen
That's correct. The number of wise men is never specified in the Bible.
The funny part is that they actually may not have been 3 of them and that's probably why the expert answers, "who knows."
That piramid joke was too good
I absolutely lost It when I heard that lmao
But did she ever find out what the pyramid shape was called
@@tetchedink7980 It's a mystery for the ages.
Shes blowin up. Good to see. I started seeing her recently. Glad there's loads to binge. She is very funny.
The "are people thinking therfore they are?" is a classic philosophical question truly.
"How do they get the sounds into the ink to play in your head?" Is simultaneously the most stupid and genius thing I've ever heard someone say
3:52 is one of my favourite quotes from anything ever
Makes me proud to be bri’ish 🇬🇧
Oi, it's bri'ish, m8. U got shanked in yo hed or sumvin?
Ew British
I'm not bri'ish and even I'm proud to be british
@@mori7589 🤣🤣🤣😂
Philomena is a British National Treasure.🏆👏
Can't believe I lived a full life not knowing about this, she's fucking brilliantly funny
