- Part One - The Best of the interviews with experts that never talked to me again...
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.
“Hello Philosophy lady. Am I here?” 😂😂
Only if you think you are. René Descartes.😅
@@maartenvandam344 Descartes actually didn't believe these hypotheses, he only brought them up as plausible but 'disproves' them later on.
He (naively) believed that due to a just god all of that wouldn't be of any concern because he would have been created in a way that wasn't deceiving him.
His writings get weirdly theological moving along. For example he wrote that he would like to brush physical reality aside so that he could finally see the divinity moving everything behind that.
I didn't finish it and don't intend to but I don't know if it gets more unhinged.
Or was this a mistranslation of the Cogito? If so, yeah he obviously believed that
@giratina6665 All I know about Descartes is that one phrase, "I think, therefore I am," and I attempted a little quip with it.
That was epic bro 😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love her "my mate Paul" stories. What a life Paul has led.
everyone should know a Paul.
I was just gonna comment "i wanna meet Paul so bad", then i saw this... Glad i´m not alone
It the male "my b_tch" Julie of Ali G... Maybe Ali G is Paul and Philomena is Julie?
@@RayOrly-fs3gr makes sense
I want to see Paul. Hahaha
_"So that's your idea of significant..."_ Damn why was she so brutal about it lmao!
Yeah wtf
That perfect touch of innocence she has behind her statements and questions is just the right amount to make someone think “oh okay, she’s not messing around with me, she’s just a bit daft.”
To be able to walk that line and say the right things without taking it over the top is brilliant.
Comedic genius. It reminds me of Sacha Cohen, Nathan Fielder, or Caleb Williams, but again she’s more grounded than those guys.
The majority knew it was a comedy show, they just didn't know what TF she was going to say or where the conversation was going. She said it several times in interviews that it took ages to record some of the people because they couldn't keep it together!
a "bit" ? 😅
She’s at the top of the game.
The art of saying something crazy with just enough confidence to make whoever your talking to think they're the ones tweaking.
The philosophy/dreaming bit was priceless. That was pure comedy. I could not hold it together when the philosopher actually tried to make sense of that word salad Diane threw at her.
The most impressive thing was that she almost succeeded.
It is actually a very valid question in philosophy. Descartes' "I think therefore I am" attempts to deal with it.
My favourite too haha, literally laughing out loud
"I killed John Bishop"..."Did you??" LOL!
😂
He says it like a killer with 0 remorse
His intonation was so serious and slow that for a second, I too believed him xD
I was fucking dead on how pissed/exasperated she looked when she found out we're gonna collide with another galaxy in millions of years
Indeed because it’s a false belief and we’re not going to, anymore than the sun burning out.
9:12 The way the camera cuts to his face, a perfect mixture of shock, disgust and confusion. Perfect.
..hahaha agreed
That architect looked like he was being tortured in a prison camp 😂😂😂
Well more like a interrogated by NKVD in russian
Or like that guy when Ali G (Saha Baron Cohen) was doing interview about "vets" and "veterinarians".
I bet that guy also wanted to be back in Nam at this moment...
😂😂😂
Calling Brian Cox gloomy is one of the best things I've ever heard 😂.
And then proceeding to ask him what it feels like to be sucked off through a hole.
but at least he has the imagination to consider being sucked off through a hole. glorious!
But quite smiley.
"Sucked off through a hole" 😂😂😂😂
That’s how it always ends.
She set that up sooo good. The delays, hand movements and nuance in her facial gestures was just sublime. So much discipline to have it flow out as if perfectly genuine. Awe striking performance. I love her.
“Yeah”
Can you imagine what it feels like?
Yeah…
Isn't that the definition of a happy ending'?
2:44 "so thats your idea of significant" 😂😂😂
so not important?
Genius.
😂😂
The Doomsday Book sounds a lot cooler than it really is then.
Yeah. Whoever named it was a grandiose twat lol. Imagine naming a census book of land & holdings "The Doomsday Book" 😂
Apparently so. I thought it was like a history of UK and a prophesy of the possible end.
Nope, just a census.
@@Lukecash2 I think it provides useful factoids to shorten tedious conversations at cocktail parties, such as the ratio of goats to watermills in Kent.
@@yxx_chris_xxywhat is the ratio of watermills to goats in Kent?
I would also like to know the answer to that @@TommyMoritz
Everyone's blinking is so eloquently communicative.
"Do you think billionaires like Elon musk should be worried about getting guillotined" 😂
9:28 she left dude speechless 🤣🤣🤣
the black hole bit gets me every time! lmao!
The most random glory hole conversation ever started in life. And i'm here for it.
@@noneya3635I'm still laughing. Tears from my eyes. So good.
I was not ready
merry Cunkmas everyone! i hope santa came in everybody's chimneys ;)
'Do you ever watch Homes under the Hammer?' Nearly choked to death. Diane Morgan is a genius.
"I killed John Bishop."
"Did you?"
So my shoes are building? 😅😅 The expert's face
“Did the printing press actually change anything of significance?” 😂😂😅😅😅
“the curse” “raiders of the lost ark” “i’m afraid not” 😂 help😂
Philamena Cunk and Brian Cox in the same video. I love it 😁
doomsday book lady was so patient lol
Her little “ohhh🙂” at 7:17 is so funny 😂
That was my absolutely favourite part
She was like, “yeah hmm I’ll think about it”
That's the least smiley I've ever seen Brian Cox! He kept it together well!!😂😂
This is one of those comedians where she forces her interviewee to hold all of the awkwardness and it’s so god damn funny.
4:06 “you’ve got lovely warm hands”
Brian Cox looks like a very British Keanu Reeves
Ohh you don't say. Now I cannot unsee him as Keanu.
Omfg true
"Blimey, I might know kung fu"
First time I saw Brian Cox not smiling or grinning.
ashamed to say the "if we came from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?" actually got me thinking for a second...
If you haven’t figured it out by now I’ll explain. We did not come from monkeys (common misconception) but rather we have a common ancestor. Think of it like this: there was a different species let’s call pre-monkey (not human or monkey). Then these pre-monkeys split and evolved in two different paths, one path becoming humans the other becoming monkeys and now there are no more pre-monkeys. Hope that helps feel free to ask any questions!
@@nmgactor8752And why aren’t humans turning into other forms? 🤣
@@panchopistola8298 we actually are! There are a few small mutations seen throughout our population that is different compared to people during history. One example of this is our mouths. Human mouths have gotten much smaller over timer (which leads to crowding and the removal of wisdom teeth) because we have adapted to have bigger brains rather than bigger mouths.
Yet there are two main reasons we aren’t adapting like you might expect. Reason 1) our medical systems kind of slow this down. Survival of the fittest means if someone is not fit in their environment and they die earlier they cannot pass their genes on. Yet our medical system allows these people to live longer and pass on their genetic information so things aren’t disappearing or changing as much.
Yet the second and biggest, more real reason is time. Modern humans have existed for around 300,000 years. Which may seem like a long time yet is minuscule compared to the 14 billion years ears is. Evolution takes a longggg time, millions and millions of years. Modern humans simply haven’t existed long enough for us to adapt. However, we are and will still adapt. Millions of years from now humans may look very different to how we are today.
Let’s look at another example. In the late 1700s the average male height was 5’6”, today that is 5’9”. Why have we grown taller? Perhaps one of the biggest reasons is because women find it more attractive, and therefore these taller people pass on their genetic information more frequently. It is very possible that in the future average male height may be even taller!
One last point I’d like to make is the lack of stressors in our environment. Humans control how and where we live so much our environment poses very little threat to ourselves compared to wild animals. If some sort of drastic change were to happen that posed deadly threats humans would evolve to fit that environment. For example, the average temperature on earth has been increasing due to global warming. If things eventually become too hot for humans, we will most likely evolve to have an average body temperature that is different from it is now in order to survive.
Long story short, we are still adapting and there are things we can see of it. The reason there is no big changed is it hasn’t been nearly enough time. And given the millions of years needed we most likely will have “evolved” and look very different. And the environment doesn’t really require us to evolve because how in control we are.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask! I doubt anything here will change your mind at all but learning about opposing views in civil conversation from a place of curiosity and learning is always a great thing. So yes feel free to ask!
@@panchopistola8298nigga do you know how evolution works? Humans have only been around for a couple thousand years.
In short: there have been multiple human species (homo habilens, homo neanderthalensis, etc) over the last few million years. The current human species had a genetic bottleneck not too long ago geologically speaking, so every human today is much more related than to most previous species.
And there are mutations that are arising like not being born with an appendix, jaws getting weaker, short-sighted eyes being more common, etc, just not things that are as visible for the most part. Some people even think that autism is getting more common in some societies because it's beneficial for certain critical jobs.
"sucked off through a hole".....Poor Brian cox😂😂
He should get an adult's hair-style: he might not need to go to those places.
when i hear “my mate Paul”, i start to laugh right away and cant listen to the story of his glorios live anymore
Philomena, have just discovered you and you are BRILLIANT! Thanks for making me laugh!! ❤
Philomena Cunk is my favorite interviewer. She brings out aspects of subject one cannot get anywhere else. I learn something new every time.
I'd love to see out-takes, given that none of the people are actors I'm baffled how they kept straight faces.
they are aware she's doing a bit, I've heard that the show runners essentially tell the experts to treat Diane's character like a child.
@@45johngaltthey know she's acting, but its funny cause they're still baffled by the sheer ignorance she pretends to have. It's like they know but at the same time they have the idea of "wow, a person can really be this dumb"
She is just imitating all the people she knows from down the street.
please never stop this.
8:20 was the most threatening 30s I’ve ever witnessed😅
The way she sighs after finding out the Andromeda galaxy will hit us kills me every time. 7:56
Comedy Gold........More Please.
5:34 so my shoe 👟 is a building!
The reason why we find it as archeologists is that we go out and dig it up... Mmm!
"So you've never seen home under the hammer?" 😂
so brilliant and funny, I could not manage the dead-pan. Haha I've never watched Homes Under the Hammer either.
"But their souls are inside the book"
"I dont think thats nessesarily true"
A test would be if you can read print. I read that if you are asleep, the part of the brain for reading and understanding the written word is shutdown while you are asleep. I haven't had the opportunity to prove this, but it's quite an interesting concept.
I've also heard it's very hard to rapidly change light levels a significant amount in dreams, so turning a light switch on and off is a pretty good way to tell.
yes, but how would you tell you weren't just dreaming that you could read it? Or maybe you just dreamt that you read that if you're asleep, the part of the brain for reading shuts down? Or...
That is false. I have had many dreams after I heard this fact where I could properly read what was written
@@s.aslahahmadfaizi4687 highly unlikely. The better chance is that you saw what you supposed was text and your dreamstate told you what that text said.
I actually have a very difficult time reading things when I'm daydreaming, let alone dream-dreaming... lol
That’s the best into for a philosophy lady and great trick question ever
“Am I here?…..How do you knoooow?” 😂
"When the Universe has exploded..."
"It's not going to explode. It's going to, we think-.."
"Melt?"
"-carry on expanding......"
"Right"
3:48 ~ this was beautiful.
"Hello philosophy lady..."
She’s priceless 🙏🙏
Absolutely brilliant!😅
"...It is possible that I'm dreaming...at least I hope I am"
Every single soul on this series is our finest : )
28/01/24. Perfect timing. Thanks.
I'd give anything to see Philomena on 'Hard Chat' with Tom Gleeson.
Or just anything with Philomena and Tom together.
Oh, my! When I heard Marianne Talbot speak I suddenly remembered I had listened to her podcast series titled "Critical Reasoning: A Romp Through the Foothills of Logic".
Her voice is so beautiful
With such intelligent questions, I don't understand why no UK university has offered Philomena a professorial chair.
My mate Paul, is the best set up.
Just the way she sounds while saying the most mind boggling things with a completely straight face 💀
"So that's your idea of significant"
Fucking brilliant! LMAO!! 😂
I just love this woman, but I can only watch her for about 5 minutes and then I just can’t take it 😁
"...he went septic.."..LOL...the look on his face....
i feel like you can see the last guy juuuuust barely holding in a laugh and its killing me hahahahahaha
You got to love her utter brilliance 😂👌❤
She's hilarious my kind of wit.
I could watch hours of her interviewing Brian Cox ❤
We need bloopers😂
you are soooo good!
"he sort of tore it and it went septic"
💀
Just discovered this. Pretty funny pretty funny 😂
- their souls are in the book
- I don't think that that is *necessarily* true...
That sound what a necromancer would Say about his book of souls...coincidence?
Brilliant
The philosophy broke me
Just brilliant! 😂
"so.. my shoes are a building?"
"If humans cam from monkeys then why are there still monkeys?"
Asking the real questions here...
Ladies in waiting, and before that monkey ladies in waiting really got me LOL!
This is great 😂 all the questions we never ask ! Genuine question: did interviewees know she is not serious? 🎉
I LOVE HER FOREVER.
I am impressed by the patience of her victims.
The man on the till in Amazon!!😂😂😂😂😂
I died after the Andromeda bit😂
I don't understand how she keeps a straight face.
I would really lose my shit if Sascha baron Cohen and her had a philosophical discussion
“That’s not necessarily true”…I love British politeness
British understatement is comedic in itself.
Poor Brian Cox, trying to be scientific while challenged with your questions
"You've never seen 'Homes under the Hammer?'"
"No"
"Why not?"
Pure gold!
Philomena,I love your kind of humor,its priceless !
Love Brian Cox answers- she could not trap him and the philosophy lady
I would say she trapped Cox very well.
At the end she asked -Can you imagine how it would feel like to been sucked off through a hole?
He answered: Yeah! while biting his lips.
She nailed it, maybe she should have named him too, like "Can you imagine Mr.Cox how it would feel like to been sucked off through a hole?
Still it's pure gold...
"What is a building?"
I want to hug Brian Cox so hardly and gently!!!
Did the printing press change anything of significance? 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Well that all depends on your idea of significance
It made important changes, not significant ones 😏
@@Wafflesaurusso not significant?
@@derlangsame7813 *tries to not laugh*
i would love to see the out takes
I wish she would have asked Brian Cox, was he the secret love child of Davy Jones from the Monkees?
I noticed that she didn't drill when the experts makes mistakes. For example, universe literally is exploding, and the guy's explanation is basically a slow motion of explosion. Yet she chose to unaddress and changed the topic. A similar thing happens to the definition of building. She gently pointed out an obvious incompletedness in the expert's definition of building that she was sure the viewers will notice, and changed the subject to minecraft as soon as that's finished.
Do these profs and experts know / suspect that they're being pranked? 😂 We need behind the screen segment!
