Full episodes of Cunk are better because of context. She is wonderful. Cunk on Shakespeare or Cunk on Christmas are a good start. (Both on TH-cam)
Definitely needed more context on some of these
definitly full episodes are the way to go
Yes. this is just the punchlines out of context. The jokes are better in the storytelling.
Yes! Full episodes!
Cunk on America and Cunk on Britain.
Kudos to the interviewees, keeping a straight face while Diane Morgan does her stuff...she's bloody funny!
There were three gifts, but the number of wise men is never mentioned.
Diane Morgan is briilliant as Philomena. The interviewees knew it was a comedy program, but didn't know what she's ask them
I have the utmost respect for all of her guests on this show. The were all brilliant and most had a fantastic sense of humor.
😂😂 😂 “having this conversation with Brian cox somehow makes it better” . very good 😂👌
The actress is Diane Morgan, and the series was written by Charlie Brooker!
Philomi Cunk Is a character created by Charlie Brooker. The same chap wrote the Black Mirror series. She had a male counterpart called Barry Shitpeas. Charlie, as I like to call him is very good. Seems like a great bloke though I have never met him.
Greetings from Scotland! Diane Morgan (Philomena Cunk) is so brilliant at portraying an idiot interviewer who asks crazy (funny!) questions to "experts" And oh boy, does she do it well! Brilliant!
How she delivers that dialogue deadpan deserves an Oscar.
She's hilarious and playing a character. She plays on another series. I forget what it's called. I think the other character maybe Debbie or something.
I think it was called Charlie Brooker's Screen Wipe. That's the first show I saw her in anyway
“Mandy”.
For movies based on Shakespeare plays, Kenneth Branagh's Henry V, and A Midsummer Night's Dream (1935 film) with Cagney and Mickey Rooney.
Diane is part of a comedy troop that has been making "mockumentaries" for almost 10 years. priceless!
Mandy is the series I was trying to remember. It's hilarious! Her real name is Diane Morgan.
Jay Rayner is the masterchef judge
Son of Claire, agony aunt.
8:48 I agree. The play on words are so simple yet needs some rudimentary understanding. I love it. And that is coming from a Man intact... so to speak. If I got the snip by my own choice, I don't think I could be truly "abeam" with myself... if you get my "drift". If my "forepeak" was untethered, then I would no longer have a "Forecastle", which would make me "forestay" and "forehold" any subsequent surgery. I could no longer stand on the "foredeck" without my long term crew "members" making fun of my "fore-and-aft rig"! 🙃
Possibly,jang on to The Day Job, just in case.....(I'm not foreshadowing)...
Find a bit of sea thats going up kills me!
that ship is about 15 minutes from my house, only been there once...
Are you kidding me. Diane Morgan is one of Britains funniest commediennes. She is great.
"Do you like ABBA?" Just gold😂 Cunk is a character 🙂 But Diane isn't far from the weirdness 😆
@No Protocol Philomena Kunk as far as I’m aware, first appeared as a character (along with Barry Shitpeas, I kid ye not), on a TV show called Weekly Wipe, a humorous look at current affairs written by the brilliant Charlie Brooker, the guy behind Black Mirror. She then went to go onto her Kunk On, series. Not sure if Charlie was involved there or not. The actress is Diane Morgan. Keep an eye out, she’s pretty decent.
4:20 "There are still Dicks out there" almost killed me 😂
Also as far as I'm aware the guests know she's going to toy with them but I don't think they know what she will actually ask and she improvises a lot.
I would love to see more, the full episodes are great. I'll subscribe in hopes for more and because you seem cool.
If you haven't done more cunk.. you should watch it all.. the Shakespeare one is great
7:41
They should, The City of Gold is in there.
Shout out if you got the reference.
Diane Morgan brilliantly played a caricature with grace ,great wind up ,New Order ,been too there gigs and have all records ,big fan when they where Joy Division, they came from factory records which they part owned ,just listen love will tear us apart.
Philomena Cunk is the character played by Diane Morgan, she plays a really bored/uninterested/dumb history documentary presenter. The experts she interviews know they're in a parody show, but they don't know what she's going to ask, so they're often caught off-guard. They also often break with her jokes, but those segments are cut in order to maintain the deadpan humor.
That was fantastic. The British are hilarious to me.
She's much funnier if you watch full episodes for context. You can react to Cunk on Britain (full 30-min episodes) without getting a copyright strike, too :)
0:20 Actually yeah - the wise men are only mentioned in Matthew and he never said a number. Even more, they may have never existed as well and be just an idea - a metaphorical reference to a previous story about Moses in Egypt. We have no other source of this story and no historical evidence of active celestial event during that time.
The original early paintings show between 2 to 12 people sometimes and the names given to them date back to Middle Ages only.
The way her name is pronounced is correct as it's supposed to sound very close to being rude without obviously being so.
“Some people think Shakespeare is pointless and stuffy...” - Cunk
Your smile is captivating
Not necessarily a big New Order fan, but do really like that song, 'Leave Me Alone' too.
Mirrors don't show objects upside down because they don't reflect light along the X or the Y axis. It's actually reflected back by the Z axis. Imagine the image being more folded inside out
Correct. Richard III was the last. Also the last Plantagenet King and end of England's longest dynasty.
The dude she is talking to about nukes looks like Ray Liota
It is awesome those people played along :D
My favourite is the titan1c 😂
She's playing a character and i think i heard somewhere that the people she is interviewing are aware that this is not a standard interview and are told to answer seriously but they don't know in what way it's not serious or have any idea what she's going to say.
@user-tn8uu2cu8gOkey Dokey!
The woman was right, we don't know how many "wise men" there were. The original story in the bible never talked about how many of these "wise kings" were there.
The "three wise men" thing was simply implemented later by people reenacting the scene, or making wooden statues. Because its easier to make 3 rather than 10 and 2 would have been too few to be a crowd.
Nearly fell off me chair at the reaction to the bread sauce comment.
*Diane Morgan is doing her take on **_The Ali G Show._* A TV show by Sasha Baron Cohen from the turn of the millennium where he posed as a blue-collar, Middle Eastern English man interviewing important people with a naivete that would disarm his guests and get them to answer honestly.
Gotta love British humour, haha.
*more or _fewer_ than three
Also, she's the creation of the same guy who created "Black Mirror." Charlie Brooker is a genius. If you want a really good laugh at some truly low-brow humor, watch "A Touch of Cloth." One reviewer hated it not because it was bad but because the lead actor is so good & well respected that the reviewer was angry that he starred in such a stupid show. It is genuinely hilarious.
Just for reference, the Bible never states there were 3 wise men (magi) just that they came from the east baring 3 gifts
Not sure if you already did it, but: George Carlin - Shell Shock is a real classic, not his funniest, but definitely hit home for me !
Diane Morgan as Philomena Cunk is absolutely fantastic, but this compilation of hacked up conversations doesn't do her or the experts reactions justice. I would highly recommend watching the episodes for the full context. It's much more enjoyable that way.
You are sharp and very smart!😀
As for music albums, there is really only one available recommendation on a Philomena video, which is the Belgian techno album pump up the jam
I'm not seeing this "Louie Threw" or whatever recommendation in the description as promised! =(
Louis Theroux is great! He might come over as a bit annoying or whimpy sometimes, but he is very earnest in his approach to interview people with outlier views/ideologies. Louis Theroux visiting the Westboro Babtist Church (at least twice over the years) was very interesting
Nice shirt. Cunk is so funny.
You won't be able to upload them to TH-cam but you should watch full episodes of her shows. It's a light-hearted view of basic history.
I love philomena cunk
Ohh Her name is Diane Morgan. Philomena Cunk is a character
I reckon you'd like QI it's a good games how about misunderstood or niche facts one of their long running debates are how many moons are there
She's like the Ali G character but in Philomena's case, the guests know they will be in a comedy show, they just don't know what she will ask.
I love all her videos :)
No thanks. I'm nobodies servant, especially a fantasy character.@user-tn8uu2cu8g
@user-tn8uu2cu8gi invite you to bow down to jelly monster…master of all jellies and wobbly stuff. All you need to say is “ oh great jelly monster, make thee wobbly in the name of jelly!!!
@user-tn8uu2cu8g I'm not in the mood for committing a perjury, so I say: I bear witness that there is no god.
Sacha Baron Cohen that's his name..He played Borat too :)
What!? They omitted her absolute best moment: "King Arthur Came a Lot". Like all her best moments, the reaction from the expert is what makes it so great.
Just looked for it and came out just as bewildered as the interviewee. Also came across the one with Elvis, with the other kind of reaction, I mean if they did see his penis, they would probably have a stroke, which is no laughing matter.
“Do you like ABBA?” Dead serious guy “I love ABBA” 😂 best ever 😂
Oh do more please. She's fantastic!
Diane's sincere, deadpan delivery is, at times, fall off your chair funny. I think she is one of the best comedic actresses out there. Don't know what she is currently involved with, but you can bet it's funny.
She has also been in the recent Ricky Gervais comedy /drama 'after life' 👍
She is hilarious.
@@IsleofskyeGeorge Carlin talking about God and Joe Pesci 🙏
@@James-hd6ez I pray to Joe Pesci that they don't turn out to be the same person:)
@user-tn8uu2cu8g Flying horse. Enough said.
I love the "perfect way to cheer up a world worried about climate change and dwindling recources"...Love it! :D
The actress is Diane Morgan. Philomena is a character that came from a satire news review show by Charlie Brooker, creator of Black Mirror. If you can find it, her best role is in Motherland, a comedy about a bunch of mums who know each other from dropping their kids off at school. A collection of idiots picking on each other in a very British way. It's ace 😅
She is an actress who created the character of Philomena Cunk for a BBC series and it took off. She has done many different series since. The people she interviews (now) know that she's making parody, but they have no idea of what she's going to ask. The crew-cut guy in the suit jacket is my favorite interviewee, he's really game.
Just a minor correction, she didn’t create the character she auditioned for it, Charlie Brooker created the character but it’s thanks to Diane that we get the deadpan Bolton delivery that makes it
@vaudevilleUK her first bit for tv didn’t really work. I’m not sure who wrote it. It was a parody of 70 bbc tv. But it was way too dry.
@user-tn8uu2cu8g Philomena Cunk also did an episode where she talked about Islam. You should watch it. 😉
@@iwanttocomplain I don't remember that... sounds like Look Around You. The first bits she did as Philomena Cunk was as a 'reviewer' on Charlie Brooker's Wipe series along with Barry Sh*tpeas (trying to avoid TH-cam deleting the comment). Definitely not 70s style.
@user-tn8uu2cu8gplease go away,
Yes she an actress who plays the character. She does the Colbert and Baron-Cohan thing where she stays in character when interviewing people (usually experts in some field). They put up with her because they do know it's for a comedy show, and are told to talk to her as if she's a child.
You are the only reactor that has picked up on the Richard the fifth reference, well done
She is gold. I have no idea how she keeps a straight face.
Philomena is a character the comedian is playing. The experts being interviewed know she's joking but they don't know what she's actually going to say. Her show is great. Highly recommend.
Charlie Brooker writes Cunk on... Cunk is played by actress Diane Morgan. Cunk was originally a character on Charlie Brookers Screen Wipe. They developed the character further and give her her own series.
Brooker also wrote Black Mirror, Nathan Barley, and lots of other funny stuff.
It would be worth checking out more stuff of British satirist, Chris Morris, who co-wrote Nathan Barley with Brooker. Brass Eye and The Day Today from the 90s are good choices.
Gervais started on The Day Today. He was a roving reporter, just playing himself as always. There was another comedian that looked much stronger than Gervias but his routine wasn’t as convincing, even though he was the more proficient comedian at that time. His career sadly stalled there.
Ahh, even if the series ended afew years ago, I really want them to bring Charlie Brooker's Weekly Wipe back.
Her dry British humor is epic! They are all funny, but her one on Shakespeare - oh man. So many funny lines in that one.
"Turns out he was just more than a bald man who could write with feathers."
"Only slightly more sophisticated than trees." . . .
Romeo and Juliet about two lovers from different families......... So we know they weren't from Norfolk.
Great comedian. Her real name is Diane Morgan. How any of the people she talks to do not burst out laughing, and maintain composure make it even funnier
find her alongside Ricky Gervais in "After Life". Highly recommand.

We assume that there were three wise men because of the three gifts that were given: gold, incense, and myrrh (Matthew 2:11). However, the Bible does not say there were only three wise men. There could have been many more. Tradition says that there were three and that their names were Gaspar/Caspar, Melchior, and Balthasar/Balthazar, but since the Bible does not say, we have no way of knowing whether the tradition is accurate. It is a common misconception that the wise men visited Jesus at the stable on the night of His birth. In fact, the wise men came days, months, or possibly even years later. That is why Matthew 2:11 says the wise men visited and worshiped Jesus in a house, not at the stable.
Depech Mode are an early 80’s band. You probably already know about them though.
Ahh carl pilkington, haven't heard that name in a while. He's basically too much of a genius for any of us to comprehend.
🤣👍
Carl ???????
Literally. Can’t go a day without a dose of the genius that is Karl Pilkington
You really have to watch full episodes. And I think you will love this show. It’s so absurd, and it’s filled with history. 😂
really? the clipper got you? my favourite was clearly "in the christmas truce nations came together to show that even in a time of peace men will find a way to try to beat each other" im paraphrasing it was almost 60 seconds ago i cant remember the exact wording.
It's fairly pointless watching Cunk 'highlights', as they lose much of their impact, outside the context of the entire programme they were taken from. This is more the type of thing to watch, when you've already seen those programmes, to remind you of the comedy gold that they came from. Not that you were to know any of this, of course. :) The original programmes are definitely worth a watch though. They're comic genius! :)
It is a parody and her real name is actress/writer Diane Morgan
Cunk on Earth is fantastic. It's sad there's only like six episodes. And yes, please react to more of these.
You need to watch some of her full videos. These short clips are funny, but no comparison to a "real", full Cunk interview. That will leave you slightly dazed, lol.
She is so funny and attractive 😂🎉
Diane Morgan, the actress, comes from near Bolton in Lancashire, like me. She’s been in lots of British comedies. This isn’t the best Cunk. Search some more out. They are legion and brilliant.
One of my favorite from Philomena...
"We have the right to bear arms...but bears dont have arms, do they..."
Watch the BBC Shakespeare collection. It's got all the best British actors of the 70s. Or "I, Claudius" is also 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for this typically Dry and deadpan British humour:)
I am glad you had no prior knowledge of this character because she surprises everyone, initially.:)
More, please.

Diane Morgan plays Philomena Cunk. She is a comedian and actress. She featured in Ricky Gervais' brilliant series After LIfe, as well as many other.
Yep, she's a spoof presenter. That master chef judge is Jay Rayner, a UK food critic. I'm pretty sure all of the experts know the score and are asked to keep a straight face and answer the questions.
Son of Agony Aunt:The Late Claire Rayner..
The Cure were pretty much contemporaries of New Order, and what was memorable about them (in fact, they're still around) was their split personality of dark, gothic post-punk and incredibly melodic and even joyous pop.
For more comedy and history I recommend the historical sitcom "Blackadder".
Musically, try finding Tim's Listening Party online, a UK radio programme with The Charlatans Tim Burgess. Interviews artists as he plays one of their classic albums in its entirety. New Order's Stephen Morris and Gillian Gilbert go through Power, Corruption & Lies with him 20/08/23. The Edge from U2, Jim Kerr from Simple Minds, Joe Elliott Def Leppard and more, along with the often forgotten Lloyd Cole and The The - a big part of my mid to late 80s teenage years. I tried to post this earlier but don't know what happened, apologies if it's replication. Hopefully you'll like it. Appreciate your content, thanks
I think you would love excerpts from 'Extras' by Ricky Gervais
It's Diane Morgan and PLEASE don't take her seriously. She's pretending to be an airhead.
You need to see the full episodes, She's brilliant 🥴👍
The bible just says "wise men" and that the men brought with them three gifts. It doesn't state how many men there were.
Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat, Ali-G, Bruno, etc..roleplay caracter) , influenced, looks like..
She's the female Ali G.
