Interviews are said to have taken two three hours, and she asked in the beginning serious questions to warm the interviewees up. That’s why people were baffled when the nonsensical questions came.
Radio was an exciting new invention that made it possible to hear other peoples voices in your living room without the use of thin walls or a devastating mental condition.
“Radio was an exciting new invention that made it possible to hear other voices in your living room without the use of thin walls or a devastating mental condition” omg I was in tears 😂😂😂
It absolutely blew my mind considering we already have sequels to the World War franchise in middle east, east europe and china. This sequel is going to be bigger, more expensive, more explosive than everything it succeeds.
Oh the crown was stored on the top shelf and since she was a baby she couldn't reach it? I was confused by the joke at first but I get it now. Thank You.
@@antasosam8486 I know! That's what makes is so funny: on the one hand it's a "stupid" (or rather "ignorant") Philomena-like statement, on the other hand it actually makes sense from the evolutionary point of view :D
"was there a mini skirt for men? you know like trousers that just stopped under the balls?" "no there wasn't a mini skirt for men." "that seems like a shame." "for whom?" "for men." SOBBING.
She basically was that student who asked the questions every teacher dreaded; some seriously brilliant and rhetorical or plain impossible to answer, some completely trolling them; but they'd never know what to expect. Kept the teacher on edge and made them question their program. She just made it her profession to do that now, and I'm here for it!!!
Reminds me of how here in Italy a lot of boys born after WW1 were reportedly named Firmato, literally "Signed". That's because the proclamation of victory in the war ended with "signed - Diaz" (the Chief of Staff at the time), but many thought it was his Christian name. Since a saint with that name exists, the Church went along with it.
My favorite moment was the big and intimidating military historian giving her a moment to regain her composure when she gets upset contemplating the possibility of nuclear war & agrees they can talk about something else. She asks him if he likes ABBA and he says "I love ABBA"
@@flaviospadavecchia5126 Yes, I'm very much aware. It was called the Great War at the time, but it was also called the First World War long before the Second World War ever broke out.
@@ChadNiebuhr "......long before........" LOL You do know there were only 20 years between 1919 and 1939? How "long before" was the Great War rebranded ?
That's algorithms for you. You randomly watch 1 and then YT floods your screen with recommended vids each time you reopen the app. Along with (now) dozens & dozens of constant really annoying & unwanted ad's that makes you think that Mark Zuckerberg should die!
The line I think is being slept on way too much is "Radio was an exciting new invention that allowed you to hear other people's voices in your living room without the use of thins walls or a devastating mental condition" I exploded laughing upon hearing it
Luckily a man called John Logie Baird was about to give birth to television. Not literally out of his vagina, but metaphorically out of his shed." Caught me so off guard. I've been laughing for 5 minutes straight.
I kept on getting recommended these and was eventually pestered into clicking on this one and now I don't know how I've lived my whole life without her.
"The first Sherlock Holmes story was such a hit, Conan Doyle wrote 55 sequels. Which is far more than the Fast and the Furious. Although in the Sherlock Holmes stories, some stuff happens that isn't skidding."
"... found himself facing a financial crisis that the world only sees about every 10 years or so." Brava, Philomena! Finally someone with sense enough to say it.
It is very funny but also feels very lovely and kind that Philomena asks questions based on misunderstandings of words and the interviewer will just gently correct or answer the question. And honestly I would love that sort of thing in regular interviews. Stupid questions are important journalism too
There are NO 'stupid questions'. No one is born with ANY knowledge. Everyone makes mistakes / misunderstands at some time in their life. (Search 'mondegreens' for simple examples.) Far too many people are afraid to ask questions due to previous experience/s of being thought stupid and / or being treated like a fool. (Probably by their school teachers and / or by the actual fools in their class.) EVERY person who asks ANY question deserves to be treated with respect.
I love how when she walks up to an interviewer, she never asks them to introduce themselves, she just simply says, “Who are you?” in the most “I don’t wanna be here.” tone I think I’ve ever heard.
I'm drinking coffee at home, HOWLING with laughter. Actually, I dared not pick up the coffee for fear of spewing it all over my computer screen. The "By Ron" ........who's this poet Ron???? "I believe BYRON was his family name." EPIC. And how she after ALL of the shorts and interviews I've seen, never, EVER twinges an eye or anything of breaking character. She's a Baller.
Philomena's 'innocence' is refreshing. Questions come from misunderstanding and / or absence of understanding - and, most importantly, willingness and eagerness to learn. There are NO 'stupid questions' - only stupid (usually arrogant) answers. No one should ever be afraid of asking questions nor made to feel foolish for asking any question. Those who deride or demean others for asking questions are usually the most ignorant and afraid to admit it. If one can't explain in words and concepts that are suitable for a five year old to comprehend, one doesn't fully understand the subject at hand. (Sorry to get so philosophical.)
wow, this woman is amazing. Her selfcontrol is impressive, doesnt even flinch asking the most random or wrong questions. I bet she would kill anyone at poker.
Isn't it strange that these videos have been just popping up for everyone in the last couple of weeks? Just awhile ago no one knew who she was or what this thing is but now it's like you can't get enough of her.
5:52 I don't know yet what the contexts were, but for me this is a sign of humble from the experts. He was not hesitant to ask if something were not within his knowledge, rather play if and fake it.
She's a good actress, but sketches are carefully scripted mainly by Charlie Brooker, Ben Caudell and Michael Odewale. Also the professors she interview are really good at faking surprise or embarrassment.
Priceless, I would watch her all day and night. Don't know how she keeps such a straight face with lines she delivers. Again, priceless, hope to watch much more of her. Thank you Diane for making me laugh out loud while sitting alone.
4:11 she is, in fact, not wrong, to this day no one knows who Jack the Ripper was, his name or why did he accept his nickname just like that, and, he probably would have died years ago from age, but i think he is probably alive (i have not checked the dates in years so idk)
This girl is so bloody brilliant at asking stupid questions during improv... Like, it's just impressive. If you're in on the joke it's straight up incredible. Madness... Lol

Referring to the world wars as a “franchise” absolutely blew me off my chair the first time and it will continue to do so every time I hear it 💀💀💀

“It was hard to tell this infant would grow up to be queen, because her crown hadn’t yet formed” is a top-shelf joke and nobody can tell me otherwise.

Yeah, Darwin.
Change over time 😂
“Before evolving again into worms and dust.”
bro i evolved into a corpse too when she said that
Yep
I've only known her for a week and I love her with all my heart
I discovered her a month ago and she is my favorite person in the world right now
Same. Me too. I love her.
I love how so many people have discovered her recently, including myself
Me too. She popped up in my feed a few weeks ago and I was instantly hooked.

As a college professor this happens frequently in submitted assignments. I know I should be severe about it but it makes me laugh every time.

Kept the teacher on edge and made them question their program. She just made it her profession to do that now, and I'm here for it!!!
yeah she's definitely playing the student making the teacher regret saying that there are no stupid questions
I'm a teacher and I love how random the kids are. They ask things I've never thought of and I have to gather my thoughts first
"Who's Ron?" Ron??? "Ya, the guy who signs all of his poems by Ron?" Do you mean Lord Byron?
