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.
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.
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
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.
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
"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!!
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)"
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…
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...
Professor Ashe censored the rude story in telling. The guy in the window after kissing was like "hang on! women don't have beards." giving the woman and her lover a big laugh at what he thought was a beard.
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
I really don't know how these people keep a straight face. I wonder if they had to do lots of takes? I'm not sure I could keep a straight face, even if the subject of the question was part of my special interest!
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
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
"He's modest in one way, but he also said He's the Son of God" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
all the prophets in the bible claimed to be son of god

Scientists are like that.

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
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
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 fact that she's trying so bad to hold her laughter at Cunk's ridiculous questions is so amusing and funny to watch.

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
And the funniest thing is that the professor admitted Jesus wouldn't be killed had he been modest 😂😂
"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.
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 ???
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.
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!
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.😁
Laura is such a good sport. And a lovely woman.
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.
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.
1:20 the way that the professor had to just process that for a bit was hilarious---
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
Your mate Paul leads such an interesting, if at times disturbing life. You must be such a great friend to him.
the way her face contorts after cunk says "...table spoon" kills me 🤣
Brilliant research, writing, delivery, and improvisation. Got to love this!
"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.
My mate Paul has to be the scariest words dreaded by these interviewees.
I like the fact that these videos are titled "Philomena Cunk vs." Like it's a fight.
I love this professor
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 hadn't noticed that it's the same professor. She looks younger on the second interview... I think.
Love the title. It suggests a conflict and I wasn't disappointed.
2:42 that woman was fighting for her life lmfao
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!!
"We're both just lost here, aren't we?"
"About a tablespoon."
I think it proves it was not "a lot" as claimed.
“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.
Both these women are pure gold.
the baby crucified jesus painting got me
The Prof is knocking it out the park, keeping up with Cunk 😂
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)"
I love how the title says 'v/s' like it's a battle 😂
Sir Arthur Came-a-lot
King Arthur
"The crusaders never did that, did they?"
(inner conflict about her whole career) "No."
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?
That 1:13 "No", she was trying not to crap her pants as well.
How do they get through this without shrieking with laughter. I suppose a lot of editing was done to cut that out.
I have to say I find the professor very alluring 😁And her compliance with Cunks comical 'distortions' only makes for more alluring! 😂😁
Any time she says "My mate Paul" watch out for whatever comes next!😂😂😂😂
the experts reaction are all meme worthy 😂
"Darkages" had me dying
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…
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
Prof. Ashe must have lost a kg of life force from within her with the Camelot question. 😂😂
I know I should feel guilty about how much that prison story makes me laugh..
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...
These episodes show how enthusiastic scientists remain to talk about their fields of study.
That is great. Laura seems a nice person but really struggling to hold herself together. So much fun
Professor Ashe censored the rude story in telling. The guy in the window after kissing was like "hang on! women don't have beards." giving the woman and her lover a big laugh at what he thought was a beard.
Where is this story from? Does it have a name? Who is the author?
Jesus really should've kept his mouth shut about being the son of God.
Yea, what an idiot
That professor must be an amazing teacher. I don’t know how she kept it together lol
I really wanna meet “her mate Paul”
1:44 Laura took that punch like a champ, lol
"we're both just lost here arent we? this is fucking awful" hahaha
1:17 The professor was like
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
3:55 that repetitive blinking speaks for itself
That slow and hard blink when she was asked about that camelot.. Hilarious 😂🤣
1:46 Professor POV: "I thought we have ended the conversation"
1:55 Professor unleashed her full potential to match Cunk's stupidness
Man, she's awesome. This is brilliant.
I’d kill to see a four hour out-takes compilation, they must have soooo much unused interview footage
1:20 a superhuman effort to not burst out in laughs.
the pursing is the final struggle to not laughing.
1:20 you can tell her soul died a little inside 😂
Admiration for Laura
And when I looked up, Paul was crying........
Any ideas about how long these sequences took to make?
The only evidence I have in that regard
Cunk interviews have to be edited for all the times that the interviewees crack up. Except the military historian Ashley Jackson who never breaks.
She kinda pops with those leggings and that accent
Its always good when she starts with my mate Paul ^^
I really don't know how these people keep a straight face. I wonder if they had to do lots of takes? I'm not sure I could keep a straight face, even if the subject of the question was part of my special interest!
Diane Morgan (Philomena's actress) said that the editors cut the parts of the interviews where the experts break.
You can honestly surmise that all kings came a lot. They had to produce a lot of children for the royal family.
2:28 I am wheezing!!!
Paul has certainly led an interesting and full life.
And when I looked up Paul was crying 😂😂😂
That’s not funny. How dare you laugh. 😂😂😂😂
I like to think her mate Paul is the same Paul from the Bible.
King Arthur was mythological, so the poor guy never came at all.
Jesus should have kept the Son of God thing quiet. "What an idiot!"
1:50 she went into factory reset mode
when I looked up Paul was crying ....
1:18 That blink.
we're both lost, aren't we? xD
I love this woman philomena philominei
Great legs on the Prof!
Laura Ashe and Ashely Jackson are by far my favourite experts she interviews
The way she says "pound"
I'm seriously in love with this woman
I love this "No" in 1:14 and Laura's fsce in 1:52
Paul has some insane encounters 😂
I just can’t even get over how very fabulous she is
cunk is a reality check to these intelligent folk. good work cunk.
They're in on the joke, FYI.
@@Loctorak 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mate Paul had quite a life
Poor Prof.... Philomena can do that to you
