Cunk's Cravings Twitter: OnCunk Sharing all things Cunk - a fictional character from Charlie Brooker's Weekly Wipe, Cunk on Britain, Cunk on Shakespeare and Cunk on Earth - Portrayed by the incredible Diane Morgan.
"It's probably been misspelled or you can't read very well." Jesus. This guy is the only one that seems to be able to counter Cunk's energy and I love it!
Still impressed by the language some of the interviewed people are using... to quote: _I think that he was probably able to take on..., and manage his emotions while engaging with potatoes at first sight_
One might argue 'to invent a root vegetable' is correct, and Ms. Cunk, and the gentleman, are aware of this sense. Invent as in Discover, a clever latinist joke.
I have no idea how the interviewees maintained their composure having these sort of seemingly ridiculous questions asked with such a straight face. Diane Morgan is probably one of the best comedians today. I absolutely love her.
Diane confirmed it in her interview with Seth Meyers that the professionals were told that it was going to be a comedy one. But they don't know what the questions were gonna be. I suppose Diane did a lot of improv. She really is amazing!
You haven't seen Ali G, the original for this stuff. Dresses as a late 90s white rapper interviewing a former head of home land security, they were talking about W.M.Ds but Ali G kept saying BLTs and got the guy to say it's worth going to war over BLTs
She's asking about stool consistency straight faced to a food historian, but she looks like she is your niece and she's sincere. It is hard to get mad at such a sweet childlike persona. Sweet Cunk.
I feel like there are two types of Philomena Cunk questions: 1. Ridiculous, borderline non-sequiter questions with obvious answers. 2. Actually serious questions that a lot of other people would probably ask as well if they weren’t afraid of somehow looking stupid.
I have shedded that fear, there is no room for it in my head anymore. I just ask and sometimes everyone is happy and sometimes they are annoyed and life goes on.
"... basically a big bird roasted whole. That may sound disgusting, but in the days before television, they didn't know big birds have a person inside." Brilliant, brilliant writers!
Anyone who has ever worked with children will recognise a lot of their curiosity/naivity/silliness in Cunk. She is hilarious in the same annoying way little kids are! The really deep/serious responses she manages to get from her subjects is the icing on the cake! How either of them keep it together is beyond me! Diane is a comic genius.
That's exactly what I do in my job, I'm a reference librarian. I have a degree in answering questions and they're doing what professionals are expected to do in that situation. Fun fact: Iguanas can't get rabies, only mammals can.
To ask "stupid" questions of an expert and have them attempt to provide an answer of sorts, to boil it down to something a child could understand, can be quite interesting even aside from the comedy
The Cunk team is absolutely brilliant. I can listen to Diane Morgan deliver these dry lines all day long. You guys are right up there with Monty Python. I hope thats a compliment for you. From me, thats high praise.
5:54 He might actually have been scared of potatoes and tomatoes, when he first saw them, because their leaf shape suggests that they're related to a very poisonous European plant. Ms. Cunk's question, in this case, is far from as stupid as it sounds.
My new fav 'go to' for guarenteed belly laughs! Best Lines: "Ice cream n' stuff..." "If we give starving a bunch of money, how do you know theyre not just gonna so spend it all on food...?" Bravo
06:40 _"if you want to talk about Russian Soviet vegetables we can -- I mean it was a deeply agrarian country.."_ what a lil smart-ass haha he wouldn't let it go lmaoo
As a citizen of the United States (and apparently quite isolated) this video was my first experience with Cunk. To be honest, at first, I wasn't sure what I was watching. Once I caught on, I found myself in stitches the rest of the way through. I want to be able to watch this over here! Riotously funny stuff. I could tell what was coming when she prepared to taste her "sauce," yet still laughed uncontrollably at her reaction. If sitcoms here could be HALF as funny as this is, I might actually watch broadcast television again. (To be fair, to be this funny, they'd likely need to not be sitcoms and some format more like this...)
@@hasanalhasan7219 Unless Diane Morgan (Cunk) played some guest role, you are thinking of Katherine Parkinson... she was in IT Crowd. They're both great, though and IT Crowd is worth of watching!
One issue, as far as I can see, with medicated crisps is the distinct possibiliity, no, I'd have to at this point state it as being a very distinct probability, of overmedication. They are medicated, of course, but they are crisps. They are crisps, and when it says on the packet - I do see them as coming in a packet, not a bottle - when it says on the packet, take two at four hour intervals, but no more than 12 per day, well! Who'd do that? Maybe the Dalai Lama, perhaps. They're crisps! Crisps!
Here in the Netherlands 🇳🇱, the Sesame Street franchise somehow doesn't include Big Bird, who is replaced by a character whose name is Pino, and who is a person in a costume of a big bird. So I didn't get that joke at first, Big Birds having a person inside them.
Bahahaa😅 Diane is a comedic genius and her deadpan delivery is perfection.👌🏽❤️ Loved the last bit when Cunk referred to bread sauce as looking like jizz🙈🤭 then watching him respond with a deep sigh of total surrender😒😂 and confusion🥴
It doesn't get better than eating a biscuit with Nutella while explaining History. It truly is the best form of comedy. She almost had the Food Expert at “jizz”. He pulled it back and succeeded in not laughing. What a victory.
I live in the u.s. and just stumbled upon Ms.Cunk. Her interviews are fascinating. This is the first time I can honestly say I was absolutely spellbound by such brilliant questioning. It was clear that many of her interviewees were squirming. They simply couldn't keep up with the way her mind works. Brava Ms. Cunk!
There was a butcher in my region in Germany who had pictures of the animals who are going to be slaughtered, and you could read about them see pictures from when there were young and pick the part you wanted to have as a reservation or just go there when it was ready to buy. I liked it. It was more the way that we all should deal with meat. And if you can't deal with it, don't eat it. It's the way it has always been until we had automation and so on, but unfortunately it seemed to have reduced the income of the butcher, and he stopped it again. Seems like it's a bit traumatizing fore some... Weak.

She was quite chuffed re peanut question. At the same time trying not to laugh that it never crossed the other person’s mind And at the very end, the guy is so engaging and keeps a straight face up until she says jizz 😂😂😂😂

Immediately changes tack to talk about other Soviet veggies to go along with it.
That sigh in the end though😂 she got him
I love how I scrolled down and read this comment right as it was said in the video
@@user-nr3jw9hx7l We all did. It's probably the funniest interaction ever recorded. I can't believe he didn't know about the Soviet Onion. xD
I like how she says he is Mantalking or Mansplaining
ling to hide her ignorance.
The Soviet Onion and mansplaining take a lot to be beaten
🎉🎉 0:22 🎉🎉🎉
"Bread sauce" perhaps?!
Rene-sauce
Well... Onion States of America would explain a lot about how Americans can be so dumb... ;)
He’s one of my favorite of all the experts.
"Why do we cry, if onions are the ones getting hurt ". Genious. I love this woman so much.
It's Union, probably been misspelled or you can't read very well)))
Why don't you marry her then?
I literally cried when I heard this the first time
@@enzo_gabriel3964 i wish! No one wants to marry me. And shes in the UK i am in Portugal
@@MyDeceptionOfficial Long distance marriage, maybe the next best thing?
Still impressed by the language some of the interviewed people are using...
to quote: _I think that he was probably able to take on..., and manage his emotions while engaging with potatoes at first sight_
this is my new fave sentence
Yes, that was sooo eloquent and funny! 😂
even better was when asked about the Soviet Onion he said "I think you're laboring under a misapprehension...". I mean, bravo!
"And thats from a professor Sean" 😭😭💀
No. 'And that's from a professor, Sean!'
"I don't think anyone has ever invented a root vegetable"
Absolute genius. No idea how that guy kept a straight face when he said that, haha.
One might argue 'to invent a root vegetable' is correct, and Ms. Cunk, and the gentleman, are aware of this sense. Invent as in Discover, a clever latinist joke.
"I think that he was probably able to take on and manage his emotions whilst engaging with potatoes at first sight"
@@philodendron6so you’re a latinist are you, you probably sport the hammer and sickle every day
@@archsys307 only when in Austria.
And with that last clip, Cunk ruined bread sauce for that man for life.
I was just thinking that is a sigh of a man who will never be able to look at bread sauce the same.
I didn't understand her last word, can someone please tell me what she said?
she said "it looks like jizz"@@s.e.a.6145
"It just looks like sort of jizz."
@@s.e.a.6145 she said jizz, it's a slang for semen
I have no idea how the interviewees maintained their composure having these sort of seemingly ridiculous questions asked with such a straight face. Diane Morgan is probably one of the best comedians today. I absolutely love her.
I’ve heard, but can’t confirm, that they’re told to engage with her as if she was a child. Patient and redirecting her to reality.
There are undoubtedly dozens of takes that end up on the cutting room floor.
Diane confirmed it in her interview with Seth Meyers that the professionals were told that it was going to be a comedy one. But they don't know what the questions were gonna be. I suppose Diane did a lot of improv. She really is amazing!
Although the interviewees are playing along, I really want to see the blooper reels! 😅

Her kicking the table was subtly perfect
"unless of course the zoo itself is struggling financially" 😂😂😂😂
She's asking about stool consistency straight faced to a food historian, but she looks like she is your niece and she's sincere. It is hard to get mad at such a sweet childlike persona. Sweet Cunk.
To be fair, that actually could be considered a serious question.
I thought that guy is that dickhead restaurant critic
😂😂😂😂
6:28 "Don't wanna be rude but I think you're mansplaining it a bit. Can we stick to the topic of the Soviet Onion, please?" Quality right there 😂
She went right for the throat😂
@@erikbudrow1255imagine in 2024 thinking "mansplaining" is an insult

What does non-sequiter mean?
@@Winter-Alpha-Omega it's spelled non-sequitur, and it means almost entirely unrelated to the topic at hand.
@@adderallfannumberonefanofa3074 Thank you.
I have shedded that fear, there is no room for it in my head anymore.
I just ask and sometimes everyone is happy and sometimes they are annoyed and life goes on.
That sigh at the end is beautiful
I think he was able to take on and manage his emotions while engaging the potatoes at first sight
Cunk on crisps is probable the most relatable she has ever been
I would probably kill myself if I couldn't have any crisps.
No way! When she was talking to Ashley and they both agreed that they love ABBA
I like that the good of a medicine is less than the damage of 1 crisp
@superleipoman I can't eat crisps anymore cause I'm allergic to the preservatives used in most packet junk food.
Wtf are crisps? Are they talking about chips?
The fact that the peanut allergy question is accidentally (?) a real and intriguing subject is very funny to me
her proud smile after being complemented for her insight was really adorable actually!
It's a very interesting to go down that rabbit hole. I'm surprised they aired it.
"... basically a big bird roasted whole. That may sound disgusting, but in the days before television, they didn't know big birds have a person inside."
Brilliant, brilliant writers!
Never did find out what kind of gravy goes with peacock. I guess I'll have to do a goose again this Christmas. 😩
What a shame
Bread sauce?
😂😂😂😂@@dwren365
Soviet Onion gravy.
Cock sauce is a false friend for peacock. Don't fall for it! For peacock, you must put peas in it.
Anyone who has ever worked with children will recognise a lot of their curiosity/naivity/silliness in Cunk. She is hilarious in the same annoying way little kids are! The really deep/serious responses she manages to get from her subjects is the icing on the cake! How either of them keep it together is beyond me! Diane is a comic genius.
The way she ask silly questions seriously, and gets genuine answers from professionals makes me explode with laughter. SUBSCRIBED
That's exactly what I do in my job, I'm a reference librarian. I have a degree in answering questions and they're doing what professionals are expected to do in that situation.
Fun fact: Iguanas can't get rabies, only mammals can.
@@theotherther1that’s amazing. I might use that fact for quizzing purposes.
To ask "stupid" questions of an expert and have them attempt to provide an answer of sorts, to boil it down to something a child could understand, can be quite interesting even aside from the comedy
i think they are actors and not really experts
@@theotherther1Not just mammals, I have rabies
The Cunk team is absolutely brilliant.
I can listen to Diane Morgan deliver these dry lines all day long.
You guys are right up there with Monty Python. I hope thats a compliment for you. From me, thats high praise.
“I think he was able to take on and manage his emotions whilst engaging with potatoes”
When I heard Renee Sauce I literally spit my salad through my nose
"I'm not predominantly a sauce person."
"Islamic Mega Nerds" 😂
That bit about the struggling zoo makes me laugh every damn time.
Same 😂
the delivery on these are truly amazing. Dropping the tone just at the right moment. Proper comedy this is.
I love how respectful all the interview answers are. Like they actually genuinely answer her questions.
"How do we know they're not going to go out and blow it all on food" - Brilliant! LOL
I remember a time before Netflix picked it up, all of these full episodes were free on TH-cam. A good time.
3:51 "Why do we cry when it's the onions that are getting hurt?" The look on her face... Oh my word. 🤣
To think we only had plain crisps with a little bit of salt not that long ago.
The perfect Christmas dinners usually involve a family row!
The food expert actually seems really likeable
I'm all for medicine crisps.
The guy of the Soviet Onion, I just love him 😂
Im sorry you spelled that wrong, or you are just dumb 😜😜
I think the guy at the end just. gave. up. That sigh. :D
That chef dude is never having bread sauce again.
Cunk on food? We need a new series called that!
5:54 He might actually have been scared of potatoes and tomatoes, when he first saw them, because their leaf shape suggests that they're related to a very poisonous European plant. Ms. Cunk's question, in this case, is far from as stupid as it sounds.
That Sigh Jay gives at the very end is one of my favorite things ever :)
Asked stoopid questions, get surprisingly reasonable answers 😅😆
The ending was beautiful.
Her explaining monster munch to the posh guy killed me
The Soviet onion guy looks really annoyed at the stupid questions.
I think he could manage his emotions while engaging with a potato XD 😂 Brilliant!
My new fav 'go to' for guarenteed belly laughs!
Best Lines:
"Ice cream n' stuff..."
"If we give starving a bunch of money, how do you know theyre not just gonna so spend it all on food...?"
Bravo
She’s elevated taking the piss to an art form in a way that no one else can.
I love her tiny moment of pride after the guy compliments her peanut question
Asking the real questions
I LOVE THIS! I have watched the Netflix series at least 5 times and it never gets old. Genius comedy! Thank you!!!
I love the way she Keeps a straight face, while asking stupid questions.
"Why do we cry when it's the onions that are being hurt"...
Teaching that guy about Monster Munch 😭✋
Lol when she hits the table with her knee as she's sitting down
6:10 - I think Cunk may have met her match. LOL.
Sean...if you're listening...I want you to know that I'm on Philomenas side...your excuses... are just that...
"we now know that onions are not a medicine."
"Onions are disgusting"
All the worlds knowledge fits into one pamphlet 😭😭

I don't do self-control either. I totally understand your sentiment.
Only the British can have a man-professor of Imperial and Military History named Ashley. He’d kick your butt back to the dark ages, too.
The suppressed grin when she says what bread sauce looks like -- LOL.
My belly hurts, Cunk is a genius. I feel so much better knowing it's not just me thinking bread sauce is basically, well you know. DIS-Gust-Ting!
it's got spunk!
"Onions arent medicine, they're disgusting." A woman after my own heart. I hate onions, unlike Sean.
Well done compilation of clips and other videos. Think I will enjoy while munching on crisps.
the question about allergens though. that one made sense. doesn't fit
its like theres a language barrier but she speaks the same language as them
lol why is the peanut allergy part so wholesome 😭
The best way to avoid crying when cutting onions is to not get emotionally attached to the onion before cutting.
Here in the Netherlands 🇳🇱, the Sesame Street franchise somehow doesn't include Big Bird, who is replaced by a character whose name is Pino, and who is a person in a costume of a big bird.
So I didn't get that joke at first, Big Birds having a person inside them.
Pronounced as Pienjo by Aart :)
I wouldn't trust a medical professional who doesn't know of "Monster Munch". Obviously his opinion on medicated crisps should be disregarded.

Not traumatizing so much as an uncomfortable triggering of empathy. You're right about one thing: don't eat it.

I lost it at " medicine crisps"
Onions were used by the old people for flu and other minor cold complaints.
Raw onions and garlic were placed in honey jars for long periods of time and only opened when needed. The syrup mix was then swallowed by spoon and it was consumed a couple of times a day until the symptoms past. The old people also used onions in a bath to help the person sweat out the flu bug/virus. Chilli, onions and garlic were used forever to help heart conditions and ginger was always used for stomach ailments.
*Cunk on food* should be a whole series
She’s brilliant✌️
If Philomena thinks bread sauce looks like j*zz, Sean probably needs to see a doctor.
excellent editing with that ending.
Medicinal Crisps. Awesome idea!
Such brilliance ... Diane is the absolute best in having completely blank eyes all the while behind them neurons are firing like machine guns.
