"Soon, everyone in Britain was swinging. Except convicted murderers, because hanging has just been abolished"
What, a, gem.
A Virtual Treasure Chest ! Too many to Count 🤣👍
I've just finished watching all 5 episodes and the biggest take away I got was that I need to watch Brush Strokes.
Are you a divorced, childless 45yr. old woman with really bad skin?
Nah you don't!!
It's an okay comedy, it's just about a womaniser and his brother who are both contract painters. Hence the title.
@@jeff3482 So the "strokes" part of the title implies a painter who gets plenty of coitus?
@@n.miller907 possibly, there's no obvious euphemism in the title, he's a painter and brush strokes is a painting term. He tries to settle down and try long term rels but it doesn't come natural to him, that's what the credits show he loves befriending women. That's about it really, counsellor Horton from vicar of Dibley plays his boss and the guy who used to play Burnside from the bill is in it as a fairly menacing character but you had to grow up in the late 80s to early 90s to have been aware of this sitcom which I did in Australia where we got alot of British tv and still do.
"my mate Paul" is always bound to be followed with something good
Poor Paul had to suffer under the Paul tax too
Like, eating your own shit out of a shoe at screwdriver point?
Feels like a call back to Ali G's "my mate Dave"
@@ge2623 which was way worse than the time my mate Paul ate five ketamine brownies and thought he could communicate with animals on the telly.
I'm starting to think she might actually have known sone crazy guy named Paul because she mentions Paul all the time and it's always something crazy
One of the best interviewees, Philomena finally broke him at 27:30
Great moment
Who is he?
I love that last bit where he's desperately trying to hold it together and not laugh!
for sure, they were told not to laugh. but FINALLYYYY.
Yet another coward!
She is officially the most underrated comedian ever.
@JZ's BFF Even worse, the American measurement standard.
Try Nathan fielder...
Officially, or literally?
@@lllordllloyd Both. But officially in my head.
@@JPabloRL You've got to choose, can't be both.
As an American, I learned more about Britain from this series in a clear and concise timeline than I ever did in all my years of grade school.
Same.
as a brit, do you know what they taught us common folk in high school? Jack the Ripper. I have no idea why to this day we studied a serial killer. perhaps thats what they want for the working class
Never seen the Horrible History videos, huh?
As an American you probably didn’t realize it’s all a spoof, and you didn’t learn anything.
I remember seeing contextless clips a while back of something she did and thought that she was a total idiot. This is such a brilliant work of satire.
I only came to see Brush Strokes.
classic Great British comedy
16:43 thank me later
Am I the only one who never understands it but still laughs
@@johnfortnitekennedeez It was an incredibly shit brit comedy and that's the joke
I haven't slept in two days. I just stared at your profile pic for a very long time before my brain caught up.
They should hurry up and make some more history so we can get another one of these
🤣
Be careful what you wish for... I think they have done
Iol, I was just thinking that 2016 to 2022 could be its own episode
@@brandonthesteele Half the important stuff in the last quarter century took place between 2016 and 2022 so yeah you're right
One day I'll be regailing the younger generations with "It all started when that zoo I lived ten miles away from shot the gorilla...."
"A condom you could eat, a sort of get out of child free card" 🤣
It was a big improvement from swallowing.
Which was a big improvement from spitting, because you didn't have to clean-up afterwards.
@@MegaManXPoweredUp Just spit it out of the window, problem solved?
This is one of the greatest lines in film/television history.
What we learnt from this documentary is brush strokes was a pivotal moment in British history, everything else revolves around that.
You had your Sopranos and your West Wing, we had Brush Strokes.
Disagreed, I'd say it's more significant or important than pivotal
@@MINKIN2 what do U mean "you had" I'm not American I'm Australian, brush strokes was screened here regularly back in the 90s.
@@janosmarothy5409 same thing
@@jeff3482 Alright then. Home and Away.
This is still the best, and will always be the best fine example of quality British sarcastic humour.
I just wish there were more. Can't get enough of 'em
@@lesley9989 She does some other shows I think
@@PilotTurtle yes, as Cunk and she's recently done 'Mandy'. The Cunk one's are my favourite. Maybe I can only find limited one's on TH-cam. Will have to refine my searches
@@lesley9989 BBC have announced a new Philomena Cunk series this year :)
@@jgsh8062 fabulous!
The "Blair/Blur" back and forth made me laugh way harder than it should've. The fact that her face and inflection never changes absolutely killed me.
And they just kept going forever 😂
“Because emojis haven’t been invented, people had to cry with their faces.”
Epic!
"If we took maths out of the *equation*"
It's those little details that make this so superb
That sentence was brilliant.
Interviewees must have been given one instruction, "No matter what, answer each question straight." On the final question, they show a guy losing it.
not significant
*pff*
That's important.
So the interviewees knew they were on a spoof documentary?
@@SeriousClassics Yes.
@@bagofnails6692 Are you sure? They seem genuinely distraught to me and like actual academics.
Let's give credit to the writing team, especially the genius Charlie Brooker. This is the perfect marriage of writing and acting.
is that you, Charlie?
It's such a shame this show only has five episodes.
Which is exactly 35 episodes less than the BBC sitcom 'Brush Stokes.'
🎜 _Because of yooou,_
_These things I do._
_Because of you._
_Because of you._
_Ohhh-oh..._
LMAO 😂
George, Ringo and their guitarists. Is such a unique way to describe the Beatles.
Hope they can afford two mikes one day
"Soon Britain entered the European Common Market in what should have been called 'BRENTRANCE', but wasn't" 8:32
I completely agree it should have been called that.
I like the idea of a "Brentrance"
@@iluvcamaros1912 You mean "Bre-entrance"?
Brentry
@@DarkAngelEU Breturn
@@kinseywk Ooooh, noice :D
“not in a major war, but in a miner strike” GENIUS
In my time Aussie schools taught British history - and almost completely ignored Aus history.
Now I understand.
All of British history was just laying the ground-work for Brush Strokes.
It all makes sense now.
Oh my god. Aussie schools these days ONLY teach Australian history. It's nauseating
@@micsunday14 What a surprise! Australian schools teaching about Australia for young Australians!?!? Poppycock!
I mean, Australia was originally a penal colony for Britain, so only makes sense that it inherits a ton of history from Europe. I think that was in the early 1800s? So it was still relatively recent, relative to other countries.
@@Mihoshika
I mean.
Seems you don't know much about Aussie history.
How has Aus 'inherited' ANY European history?
European history is what happened in Europe or directly involved Europe - eg the spread of the Roman Empire.
Aussie history is what happened in Aus or directly involved Aus - eg the trading between indigenous Aussies and Malays LOOONNNG before ANY European arrived; the fact that Cook did NOT discover Aus. (He new exactly where he was going AND had a map. The French and Dutch had been here long before Cook.)
How 'old' does one's own history need to be before it's worthy of teaching / learning.
FYI - the history of Aus is at least 40,000 years old.
I'm not sure why you've taken my facetiously ironic comment so seriously.
Diane Morgan is a comedic genius. Fact! Her delivery of the brilliantly crafted script is sublime. Top marks to everyone involved.
She is absolutely brilliant at that emotionless routine 😂😂
Her Series Mandy was so funny 🤣
She's fantastic in "After Life"
Even if just a supporting character...
She's one of the best deadpans of all time. And I suspect much of her best lines are ad libbed.
“They weren’t allowed to get erections and had to settle for a stiff upper lip instead”. IM FUCKING DEAD 😂😂😂
That one got me chortling...
Then no erection for you, either!
DUUUDE what. I was not expecting to see you here
I was taking a sip of wine when she said that and literally it was all I could do to swallow it and not do a spit take.🤣🤣🤣
omg i love your channel!!!
"Anyone who was Anyone who was a massive prick was there". Her delivery is just immaculate.
Going out with a bang in this episode. Cutting to the Wombles in the punk section and dressing in Thatcher drag while saying of her "...a grateful nation erupted in wild street parties" was brilliant.
"Suddenly it was cool to ignore society and just be whoever you wanted to be, as long as you had fashionable hair and flamboyant clothes like everyone else." comedy gold
"Why was the strike considered minor"? I nearly fell off the bed
and Major John...
I just binged all five episodes of Cunk on Britain. This has got to be one of the most hilarious 2.5 hours of content that i have ever watched 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
Thank you, rolo tomasi, for uploading this gem on YT!
now you should watch Philomena Cunk on Earth!
@@PutinsMommyNeverHuggedHim i did. It was not as good as Britain, Christmas, or Shakespeare. But it was okay.
@@dudesayingthings They just said Britain and so did you. Is there a different Britain they've been keeping secret?
"To be a 1980's Yuppie did you have to qualify as a wanker first and then just work your way up?" killed me :D
Philomena is the most articulate British journalist of all times - even the times that haven't happened yet and the - ones - that happened before, except the other ones.
I have begun using so many of her comments in my daily life. "Christmas is such a big deal that even Richard Dawkins does it, and he thinks God's a twat who isn't even there."
There is so much recent happenings to deserve a new series from Cunk and Brooker. I can only hope this will happen.
Ya she covered covid
Especially since the Queen has recently passed.
@@Esbrittanyputa Jeez, the old bag must have been really moving. I’d didn’t even see her go by!
I watched all 5 episodes. I loved every one. THANK YOU! I also learned a little .....😀
I’m 2 years late to ur comment :)
@JZ's BFF All comments will last until the death of the internet.
@JZ's BFF the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics is a physical law, nothing to do with information. you’re way off there, mate
@JZ's BFF uhhhh, no. it is not.
@JZ's BFF units of entropy are Joules per degree Kelvin. energy is measured via heat- i.e., temperature. Not sure where you’re from, but nobody measures information in degrees Celsius or degrees Kelvin…
23:42
I am now certain that there is someone among the staff that is instructed to watch the interview and give Philomena a call if the interviewee starts answering the questions too well.
same!!!
You meant fucking all the punditry aka “expertise” to the filth and going along with the format?.!
Philomena rocked that 60s get up.
I can't stop watching the "Tony Blur" exchange...it's too much xD
Blah
I love it, sounds like babies talking to each others: "blah" "bluh" "blah" "bluh"
Love the intro to the Beatles with Gerry and the Pacemakers playing in the background. Brilliant!
The smile at 7:40 feels so eerie 🤣 And it was the first time I realize we rarely see Philomena actually smile
This is the first-ever in all 5 episodes, though?
Isn't it?
This is super under rated. I literally watch documentaries every night. This is perfect satire. It deserves more views.
Do you recommend any like this?
I lost it at Philomena in a 60’s mini dress. ❤️
Blur... Blair... Blur... Blair... Blur... Blair... Blur... Blair...
It’s funny how she always brings up her mate, Paul, and tells hilarious stories about him lol. This woman is a pure genius haha 🤣
I am on a Philomena binge, and I am loving it!
This series has been a long game of "Philomena attempts to break Robert Peston" and you gotta hand it to her, she won.
Finally!
After five fantastic episodes...
An expert finally laughs!
Almost.
I’m sure they all laughed , Just a lot of Retakes
"but the war on iraq, proved to be as popular as infanticide flavoured crisips"
My grandfather called it the greatest mistake, and lost his faith in America ever since.
Still nicer than Hedgehog flavour
@@DarkAngelEU
So, your grandfather thought the Bay of Pigs, Vietnam, etc were 'good' and 'worthy' ideas and causes?!
@@trueaussie9230 i don’t see how Britain was involved in the Bay of Pigs or Vietnam….
@@PutinsMommyNeverHuggedHim
Has someone said - or even suggested - that the UK WAS involved in the Bay of Pigs or Vietnam's American war?!
What's the relevance and point of your comment?!
I have actually been having a tough time with addiction and totally isolated. Watching this has made me laugh. Appreciated ❤
Hope you are doing okay.
@@jrmckim thank you so much. That means loads
Are you getting any help? Are you doing better?
@@sergiovela9961 I am just trying to function! Not the best way but I feel it needs to be this way until school and things are back on track! Thank you so much. I hope you are well!!
They took LSD and went from singing simple love songs to we all live in a yellow submarine - that bit really does shine a funny light on things. Had me cracking up
... but all of that is about to change. Thanks to four boys from Liverpool: George, Ringo and their guitarists--- a pop band called The Beatles.
I've heard of the beatles. I think you can still see some of their videos on youtube
I like she gave them a bit of credit 😅
The comparison of the Beatles to spiders killed me 🤣
"If we took maths out of the equation..."
But pronounced "maffs"
they punished gay men by locking them up in a small room with another man.....for years! lol
Dr. Ruth’s jacket is smashing.
I love that every episode she has to bring up brush strokes LMAO
It’s Britain. They spend most of their time stroking.
I’m pretty sure there’s a series of her using Pump Up the Jam as a reference point.
"The miners strike ended in 1985..."
Here it comes.
How d'yer mean?
@@c.s.4428 I've no idea
@@c.s.4428 & @Lesley Probably meaning that the next thing she'll reference is Brush Strokes again. Any excuse!
Because of you! 🎶📺
You know it’s a superb show when 95% of the TH-cam comments are quotes.
And different ones at that !
This is one of the most important findings in my youtube feed, not significant but important.
“People queued outside banks in scenes of boring desperation” classic Broker
I shit my pants at the "Was it important or significant" bit "It can be both" "Not in this" lol
It's funny how this gives me 10000x the British history that I've ever learned
As a amputee and mother from Estonia.
Thank you for your service.
As recently as a few weeks ago I had no idea how much I would perk up upon hearing someone say "My mate Paul..."
everything she says in this series is hilarious. I’m American and just discovered her last night and I’m hooked. She’s great, fans of hers may enjoy the Comedy Central show Another Period.
Have you seen Nathan For You?
@@definitelynotanAIchatbot Yes, I have he is hilarious as well and with a similar style.
As you’re American, I need to point out that Britain is in the British Isles, which is to your east across a lot of salty water the rest of us call the Atlantic Ocean. If people stare at you and speak funny, you missed it. You’re in France. Or Portugal. You’re welcome.

""With the miners crushed, like miners in a bad mine"--Ouch!
@JZ's BFF Turkey? what are you on about
27:31 first time I saw someone trying not to laugh in this series 🎃
The way she starts waving just before she disappears behind the trees cracks me up every time.
Brentrence. Fabulous writing
"the bloke one" "the woman one" I love you Philomena. No really, marry me.
The running gag of BRUSH STROKES gets me. And I am American and have never seen the horrid show
It was the high water cultural mark of British shitcomedry.
nobody has
No American says 'horrid'
I used to watch Brush Strokes. I enjoyed it enormously.
@@davishigiro9356 we do when we talk to Brits. we try to use words we read in Harry Potter
I hope she continues to grow in popularity. A fantastic ambassador of Britishy talent.
Thank you for such an entertaining, educational and informative evening! I saw all five episodes and they are all hysterical!
@23:23 Robert is Shocked & amazed at the same time 😆Philomena is the best Interviewer ever.
I don't know how Diane Morgan does for not laughing or staying so serious while saying all of these stuff ! LOVE HER
OMG I'm dyin' 😂 that whole yuppie conversation "or young urban twats" 😂😂😂
I don't know why but that Shanya Twain ringtone got me in stitches
"An eye that's looking at itself in the mirror and asking the question, 'What sort of massive country am I?'" 🤣
I really need her take on American History! I bet it would be hilarious!😂
they did cunk on earth which in some parts goes into the american history.. and it delivers well
"Cunk on America", look it up.
"And because emojis weren't invented yet, people had to cry with their faces" I love this woman
As a history major, I will now be showing this to every single person in my uni
‘Blur were from art college, which is the opposite of Manchester’
The punk rock wombles gag has an ironic twist to it.. beneath one those costumes was the guy who produced the sex pistols first demo.
God save us from politics and politicians. Let us pray for the continued health of Philomena Cunk and Charlie Brooker! xxx
"Sid Knickers" I will never stop laughing over that!
Genius, I love this show and would marry Philomena tomorrow . Thanks for posting
Absolutely brilliant and important even down to the ringtone.
I love the idea of Ben and Charlie hearing Diane say "Blair" and thinking yeah this is gna be in the show 🤣🤣🤣
George, Ringi and their guitarists! Love it!
Thanks Philomrena for your rather unique insight on history
19:01 - the sad piano version of "Don't You Want Me" has me dead.
oh you’re right!
Great catch
I just discovered this after a friend’s recommendation- and have been choking with laughter ever since! She’s beyond brilliant!
I’m American and I love this series and this woman.
I can't get enough of this!! She's brilliant! I don't care who wrote it, SHE'S the only one that could deliver like a Cunk!!!
I lost it at "Arthur Scarface".
* remembers "The Strike" from The Comic Strip *
>_
Just watched all five. Cunk I really enjoy your in-depth analysis..
This has to be one of the best way of presenting history, most of the information is factual but there’s a comedic twist to keep your attention.
Kind of the same reason that late-night comedians seem to do journalism mostly better than the journalists do.
She's breathtaking in that 60s look!
Philomena Cunk really has mesmerizing eyes😎
babyslimm9 she reminds me of a cow. A sexy cow. 😂
I've got a crush on her.
Loved the smirk at 27:31...
20:10
I keep rewinding this.
The arse end of history. She is so funny in every sentence and with every line , l love her more 😁😆😁
