She really blinked a few times like that was the hardest interview ever after the tablespoon question, props to her to actually tried to give answer to each ridiculous question 😂😂
Certain experts seemed comfortable playing along with Diane Morgan. Irving Finkel, for example leaned into the role and had fun. Professor Ashe looks like she lost a few brain cells every time she dealt with this show.
The fact that she's trying so bad to hold her laughter at Cunk's ridiculous questions is so amusing and funny to watch. The whole "Jesus painting himself" bit became my favorite after the Camelot one because how she ended up following along with the joke but still trying to keep herself as professional as she could lol Also the Camealot clip became 10x times funnier knowing that it was the first thing she asked to the professor after she sat down lmao
I love her "My mate, Paul" stories, she doesn't have many of them, but I find them hysterical when she drops one in. Much appreciation from the midwest USA.
One of the best professors in the show, she tries to explain and answer most of the questions, but acknowledges when she can't. She knows her subject, and doesn't come off as condescending
Oh! I love her expressions. I mean Dr Laura. Philomena is a phenomenal character I know. But this professor is so so delightful to watch, she is different from all other professors Philomena has ever faced.
@@UnsightlyVessel That is a battle... One invades being armed with stubborn stupidity... The other resists being "defeated" by either showing anger or laughing out loud.... Isn't it quite a battle then? 😂
Professor Ronald Hutton did pretty well. He always has a twinkle in his eye. And he has spent a lot of time being interviewed by modern witches, druids and other rather unusual people.
Professor Laura Ashe has this on her Oxford Faculty website: "Television appearances as an interviewee include the ground-breaking documentaries Cunk on Britain (BBC2, 2018)"
"it took me places I wasn't ready to go ...and when I looked up, Paul was crying" 😂 this bit was so funny and so disturbing in equal measures 😢. It now lives rent free in my head.
The interviews are all so good. But my favorite Cunk bit is when she's looking at stone-age tools in a museum and points out the stone axe is "as well as boring, they are shit". :D
I love watching them try desperately to grasp her non sequiturs, and develop a professional answer. Their faces are just a picture after question 1. Some adapt better than others and yet all try to give answers like there’s a classroom of kids watching!!
"The crusaders never did that, did they?"................... "No...ooooooo." Hysterical. I love Ashe's sense of humour that she desperately tries to suppress. "King Arthur came a lot, didn't he."......... "(extended blink..... swallow your gasp and LOL)"....... Wonderful!!!!!!! "But do we know if he came a lot?"....... and Ashe swallows her own lips........ I love Ashe. I would love to share a bottle of wine with her. "It was an average amount..... like a tablespoon."................. And Ashe blinks and blinks in disbelief. She has entered the Twilight Zone.
These questions, her simple-minded way of asking, listening and responding and how cool "Philomena" stays, while the person she talks with gets more and more confused! It's hard to believe! It's philomenal! I love her art a lot! You ask, if I came a lot? I‘m not King Arthur. As far as I know...
This is one of the most favorite episodes I loved, especially since I learned a lot from Professor Laura Ashe. By the way, she was composed of any questions that came to ask, and I like her English accent is 👍
People call him and idiot all the time, it's just not always noted or acknowledged. Like im pretty sure I've called him an idiot within the last 18 months at least. Hell, ill do it now- jesus was an idiot
The way she closes her eyes and pauses, it's like she's internally screaming, 'fuuuuuuuucccccckkkkkkkk,' before succinctly repudiating everything Philomena just said.
I have a book called ‘non campus mentis’ with a compilation of the most ridiculous stuff pulled from college papers. Always found it hilarious until I became a professor…
I get that she's really just trying to contain her amusement but it comes across as if she's kind of scared of Cunk lol. Love these segments. Also lol wtf @ 3:49
That Camelot scene was my first introduction to Philomena Cunk. I haven't looked back since
You've come a long way
@@a_happy_monkey "The only evidence I have in that regard is he only had one son" is a fantastic line, I love how she just rolled with Philomena
She doesn’t like to talk about the past…..so she’s not saying…….if that was your question@@a_happy_monkey
Apparently so did King Arthur @@a_happy_monkey
Her visible pause is epic
You can actually see this woman choosing her battles in real time. 😂
And does it very good.
The blink she does with the Arther question lol
BOTH women, really!
Her reaction made everything so much funnier
"He's modest in one way, but he also said He's the Son of God" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The hard reset blink at 1:21 is one of my favourite Cunk moments. I'm not sure whether she's processing or trying not to laugh.
1:52 factory reset mode
You can practically feel her brain cells dying at that point. 😂
Each time she says "my mate Paul.." you know there's a banger coming
😂😂😂
I differ. Paul takes away all her acting talent. She does seem to be a good improviser
„The only evidence I have in that regard“ 🤣 how does she manage to stay so scientific and serious?
Scientists are like that.
I studied history (though I didn't finish my degree) and I always answer like that.
I try to enlighten people.
Multiple takes.
@@DrunkenCoward1I’m surprised you didn’t finish your degree in the science of history.

And the funniest thing is that the professor admitted Jesus wouldn't be killed had he been modest 😂😂
"Who the hell starts a conversation like that? I just sat down."
Her mate Paul walked 30 miles dressed as Spider-Man whilst having explosive diarrhoea. What a legend
He certainly did NOT. The organisers stepped in & put an end to those disgusting shenanigans 😂
Not to mention he’s bigger than a log cabin
But did he paint himself being crucified as a baby?
And raised 368 pounds. ❤
@@Jerid58 368 pounds of what ???
I love her "My mate, Paul" stories, she doesn't have many of them, but I find them hysterical when she drops one in. Much appreciation from the midwest USA.
They are good. They are exactly the same as "My mate, Dave" from Ali G, but so is Cunk the same as Ali G. But that doesn't make it less funny.
The one about the lorry is my favourite mate Paul story.
@ledpup exactly
Poor Paul. Having to wear that bib around his arse and being passed around like a blunt from inmate to inmate. I'd weep too.
She lies
"Are there any paintings where he's being crucified as a baby?" That cracked me up.
missed an opportunity hahaha
Almost spit my drink out.
the woman’s soul was extracted from her body when she was asked about King Arthur, absolutely brilliant =))
Professor Laura Ashe accepted the filming offer several times. I feel that they all enjoy the interview lol
All of them did
I could watch a whole series of this.
She got hotter too.
Oh my god, Laura’s so strong holding her laugh! 😂 but at the sale time you can see her making such an incredible effort! This is gold!
One of the best professors in the show, she tries to explain and answer most of the questions, but acknowledges when she can't. She knows her subject, and doesn't come off as condescending
As a professor I hope to someday be interviewed by Philomena.
"Was Eve offended that Adam decided to call the night of Christmas, Christmas Eve?" - Philomena Cunk to you propably.
Be careful what you wish for😂
This Is why I'm in grad school.😁
1:20 the way that the professor had to just process that for a bit was hilarious---
Oh! I love her expressions. I mean Dr Laura. Philomena is a phenomenal character I know. But this professor is so so delightful to watch, she is different from all other professors Philomena has ever faced.
Freal. The long blink she does as she steels herself against Philomena's question about how much King Arthur came was the perfect non-verbal response.
Saying “faced” implies they’re engaged in some sort of battle
@@UnsightlyVessel That is a battle... One invades being armed with stubborn stupidity... The other resists being "defeated" by either showing anger or laughing out loud.... Isn't it quite a battle then? 😂
@@hrisikesh I'd say Professor Ashe won this battle decisively.

Laura is such a good sport. And a lovely woman.
the way her face contorts after cunk says "...table spoon" kills me 🤣
Professor Laura Ashe has this on her Oxford Faculty website: "Television appearances as an interviewee include the ground-breaking documentaries Cunk on Britain (BBC2, 2018)"
She also mentions her appearance on "the unremittingly highbrow Cunk on Earth". She must be an amazingly fun professor
An experience of a lifetime...isn't it?😂...
Your mate Paul leads such an interesting, if at times disturbing life. You must be such a great friend to him.
I like the fact that these videos are titled "Philomena Cunk vs." Like it's a fight.
"it took me places I wasn't ready to go ...and when I looked up, Paul was crying" 😂 this bit was so funny and so disturbing in equal measures 😢. It now lives rent free in my head.
Brilliant research, writing, delivery, and improvisation. Got to love this!
"About a tablespoon."
I think it proves it was not "a lot" as claimed.
"We're both just lost here, aren't we?"
I love this professor
Both these women are pure gold.
The interviews are all so good.
But my favorite Cunk bit is when she's looking at stone-age tools in a museum and points out the stone axe is "as well as boring, they are shit". :D
2:42 that woman was fighting for her life lmfao
Love the title. It suggests a conflict and I wasn't disappointed.
My mate Paul has to be the scariest words dreaded by these interviewees.
the baby crucified jesus painting got me
I love watching them try desperately to grasp her non sequiturs, and develop a professional answer. Their faces are just a picture after question 1.
Some adapt better than others and yet all try to give answers like there’s a classroom of kids watching!!
“When I looked up, Paul was crying”
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good sport, Dr. Ashe! You are just as clever as Ms. Cunk, which is the highest praise I can muster.
The Prof is knocking it out the park, keeping up with Cunk 😂
I love how the title says 'v/s' like it's a battle 😂
"The crusaders never did that, did they?"
(inner conflict about her whole career) "No."
"The crusaders never did that, did they?"................... "No...ooooooo." Hysterical. I love Ashe's sense of humour that she desperately tries to suppress.
"King Arthur came a lot, didn't he."......... "(extended blink..... swallow your gasp and LOL)"....... Wonderful!!!!!!!

Prof. Ashe must have lost a kg of life force from within her with the Camelot question. 😂😂
"Darkages" had me dying
Bit like the Soviet Onion in an another interview.
1:46 Professor POV: "I thought we have ended the conversation"
1:55 Professor unleashed her full potential to match Cunk's stupidness
Any time she says "My mate Paul" watch out for whatever comes next!😂😂😂😂
the experts reaction are all meme worthy 😂
That 1:13 "No", she was trying not to crap her pants as well.
Yes I know its juvenile but, love the " king Arthur came-a-lot, funny.
... the moment Philomena drops the word "tablespoon" is the pinnacle of the deadpan humor
no, just gross
Actually, diarrhea was quite common and could be severe and even deadly during the crusades.
Did they go on very many 30mile walks dressed as spider man, though?
1:17 The professor was like
That slow and hard blink when she was asked about that camelot.. Hilarious 😂🤣
The flat delivery of the twists is just incredible
1:20 I don’t think she ever dreamed she’d be asked that question.
That is great. Laura seems a nice person but really struggling to hold herself together. So much fun
1:20 a superhuman effort to not burst out in laughs.
I know I should feel guilty about how much that prison story makes me laugh..
Sir Arthur Came-a-lot
King Arthur
"we're both just lost here arent we? this is fucking awful" hahaha

King Arthur was mythological, so the poor guy never came at all.

These episodes show how enthusiastic scientists remain to talk about their fields of study.
The only other person in history to call Jesus an idiot since Pontius Pilate.
Jesus is an idiot.
People call him and idiot all the time, it's just not always noted or acknowledged.
Like im pretty sure I've called him an idiot within the last 18 months at least.
Hell, ill do it now- jesus was an idiot
The way she closes her eyes and pauses, it's like she's internally screaming, 'fuuuuuuuucccccckkkkkkkk,' before succinctly repudiating everything Philomena just said.
People who are amazed by how cool and reasonable the professors are with Philomena’s inane questions have never taught college students.
So that's basically most people, then...
I have a book called ‘non campus mentis’ with a compilation of the most ridiculous stuff pulled from college papers. Always found it hilarious until I became a professor…
the pursing is the final struggle to not laughing.
Admiration for Laura
I hadn't noticed that it's the same professor. She looks younger on the second interview... I think.
Man, she's awesome. This is brilliant.
How do they get through this without shrieking with laughter. I suppose a lot of editing was done to cut that out.
I just can’t even get over how very fabulous she is
1:50 she went into factory reset mode
And when I looked up, Paul was crying........
2:28 I am wheezing!!!
This interviewee is one of the best.
The only one I like more is the one with the historian Ronald Hutton who is also a good sport.
That professor must be an amazing teacher. I don’t know how she kept it together lol
3:55 that repetitive blinking speaks for itself
You can honestly surmise that all kings came a lot. They had to produce a lot of children for the royal family.
This lady and the professor who discussed the Soviet onion and dancing queen have to be my favorite 😂
Sit gracefully "King Arthur came alot, didn't he?"
And when I looked up Paul was crying 😂😂😂
That’s not funny. How dare you laugh. 😂😂😂😂
Haha. This reminds me of The Daily Show during the Colbert years.
Jesus really should've kept his mouth shut about being the son of God.
Yea, what an idiot
1:20 you can tell her soul died a little inside 😂
Its always good when she starts with my mate Paul ^^
I love this woman philomena philominei
I have to say Prof Laura Ashe has a very alluring demeanour about her .. 😛😄
What a gorgeous woman!❤
I get that she's really just trying to contain her amusement but it comes across as if she's kind of scared of Cunk lol. Love these segments. Also lol wtf @ 3:49
I’d kill to see a four hour out-takes compilation, they must have soooo much unused interview footage
The way she says "pound"
I'm seriously in love with this woman
It's always funny when she brings up her mate paul
Laura Ashe and Ashely Jackson are by far my favourite experts she interviews
Paul has certainly led an interesting and full life.
Petition to make a special episode about Paul.
She was so excited to hear a question thst actually made sense (enlightenment) 😂
I really wanna meet “her mate Paul”
"We're both lost here aren't we?" 😂
Paul has some insane encounters 😂
The only evidence I have in that regard
