"It's probably been misspelled or you can't read very well."
Jesus. This guy is the only one that seems to be able to counter Cunk's energy and I love it!
Immediately changes tack to talk about other Soviet veggies to go along with it.
That sigh in the end though😂 she got him
I love how I scrolled down and read this comment right as it was said in the video
@@nono-g1c7d We all did. It's probably the funniest interaction ever recorded. I can't believe he didn't know about the Soviet Onion. xD
I like how she says he is Mantalking or Mansplaining
ling to hide her ignorance.
Still impressed by the language some of the interviewed people are using...
to quote: _I think that he was probably able to take on..., and manage his emotions while engaging with potatoes at first sight_
this is my new fave sentence
Yes, that was sooo eloquent and funny! 😂
even better was when asked about the Soviet Onion he said "I think you're laboring under a misapprehension...". I mean, bravo!
Even better, he said "whilst" instead of "while"!
I peed laughing when i heard this
"Why do we cry, if onions are the ones getting hurt ". Genious. I love this woman so much.
It's Union, probably been misspelled or you can't read very well)))
Why don't you marry her then?
I literally cried when I heard this the first time
@@enzo_gabriel3964 i wish! No one wants to marry me. And shes in the UK i am in Portugal
@@MyDeceptionOfficial Long distance marriage, maybe the next best thing?
And with that last clip, Cunk ruined bread sauce for that man for life.
I was just thinking that is a sigh of a man who will never be able to look at bread sauce the same.
I didn't understand her last word, can someone please tell me what she said?
she said "it looks like jizz"@@s.e.a.6145
"It just looks like sort of jizz."
@@s.e.a.6145 she said jizz, it's a slang for semen
"I don't think anyone has ever invented a root vegetable"
Absolute genius. No idea how that guy kept a straight face when he said that, haha.
One might argue 'to invent a root vegetable' is correct, and Ms. Cunk, and the gentleman, are aware of this sense. Invent as in Discover, a clever latinist joke.
"I think that he was probably able to take on and manage his emotions whilst engaging with potatoes at first sight"
@@philodendron6so you’re a latinist are you, you probably sport the hammer and sickle every day
@@archsys307 only when in Austria.
I have no idea how the interviewees maintained their composure having these sort of seemingly ridiculous questions asked with such a straight face. Diane Morgan is probably one of the best comedians today. I absolutely love her.
I’ve heard, but can’t confirm, that they’re told to engage with her as if she was a child. Patient and redirecting her to reality.
There are undoubtedly dozens of takes that end up on the cutting room floor.
Diane confirmed it in her interview with Seth Meyers that the professionals were told that it was going to be a comedy one. But they don't know what the questions were gonna be. I suppose Diane did a lot of improv. She really is amazing!
Although the interviewees are playing along, I really want to see the blooper reels! 😅
You haven't seen Ali G, the original for this stuff. Dresses as a late 90s white rapper interviewing a former head of home land security, they were talking about W.M.Ds but Ali G kept saying BLTs and got the guy to say it's worth going to war over BLTs
I think he was able to take on and manage his emotions while engaging the potatoes at first sight
this had me guffawing
But no one can manage their emotions when engaging with crisps at first sight.
XD how do you get there
Her kicking the table was subtly perfect
1:34
subtly perfect or perfectly subtle?
SOUFLE
@@darcipeeps thanks btw!
I love her tiny moment of pride after the guy compliments her peanut question
Sometimes, dumb questions are something that we don't think about enough
The Soviet Onion and mansplaining take a lot to be beaten
🎉🎉 0:22 🎉🎉🎉
"Bread sauce" perhaps?!
Rene-sauce
Well... Onion States of America would explain a lot about how Americans can be so dumb... ;)
He’s one of my favorite of all the experts.
She's asking about stool consistency straight faced to a food historian, but she looks like she is your niece and she's sincere. It is hard to get mad at such a sweet childlike persona. Sweet Cunk.
To be fair, that actually could be considered a serious question.
I thought that guy is that dickhead restaurant critic
😂😂😂😂
"unless of course the zoo itself is struggling financially" 😂😂😂😂
Gold
It got me😂
That's what is happening in USA currently? Outside of USA? I don't know. Why so much surveillance and correspondence about specifics where you were alone. Like when chicken run decided to switch from eggs to pot pies.
I feel like there are two types of Philomena Cunk questions:
1. Ridiculous, borderline non-sequiter questions with obvious answers.
2. Actually serious questions that a lot of other people would probably ask as well if they weren’t afraid of somehow looking stupid.
What does non-sequiter mean?
@@Δ-Δ-Δ-Δ it's spelled non-sequitur, and it means almost entirely unrelated to the topic at hand.
@@adderallfannumberonefanofa3074 Thank you.
I have shedded that fear, there is no room for it in my head anymore.
I just ask and sometimes everyone is happy and sometimes they are annoyed and life goes on.
How can I have such a cool username? 😮 @@Δ-Δ-Δ-Δ
That sigh at the end is beautiful
6:28 "Don't wanna be rude but I think you're mansplaining it a bit. Can we stick to the topic of the Soviet Onion, please?" Quality right there 😂
She went right for the throat😂
@@erikbudrow1255imagine in 2024 thinking "mansplaining" is an insult
@@londonbordeauxit's not rly an insult, it's criticism but way to take it personally
@@shyimp i take everything personal ❤️
@@londonbordeauxpersonal-ly
Cunk on crisps is probably the most relatable she has ever been
I would probably kill myself if I couldn't have any crisps.
No way! When she was talking to Ashley and they both agreed that they love ABBA
I like that the good of a medicine is less than the damage of 1 crisp
@superleipoman I can't eat crisps anymore cause I'm allergic to the preservatives used in most packet junk food.
Wtf are crisps? Are they talking about chips?
Saying "why do you know so much about vegetables? Have you got an allotment somewhere?" Is diabolical after she set him up 😂😂😂
0:11 That whistle that comes out when she says "I love crisps" 😂
I hadn’t noticed that before, nor her kicking the table and making stuff rattle at 1:34
Yes! Now I know! Like Herbert the Pervert
That’s a double whistle. You don’t just get to be in that kind of audial royalty everyday.
when she bumps into the table in the second interview is amazingly simple comedy that absolutely sent me.
1:34
The fact that the peanut allergy question is accidentally (?) a real and intriguing subject is very funny to me
her proud smile after being complemented for her insight was really adorable actually!
It's a very interesting to go down that rabbit hole. I'm surprised they aired it.
its definitely intentional, she asks a lot of questions in that vibe that shows that she Does actually know what she's talking about and knows itll baffle or surprise the interviewee
its actually astounding how, in spite of her persona its surprisingly clear how intelligent and witty she really is
@@eepykate I think she asked a lot of normal questions at the start and then slowly descended into the realm of mainsplaining onions and madness
"And thats from a professor Sean" 😭😭💀
No. 'And that's from a professor, Sean!'
@@MarionFR 😮 tnx
"... basically a big bird roasted whole. That may sound disgusting, but in the days before television, they didn't know big birds have a person inside."
Brilliant, brilliant writers!
Anyone who has ever worked with children will recognise a lot of their curiosity/naivity/silliness in Cunk. She is hilarious in the same annoying way little kids are! The really deep/serious responses she manages to get from her subjects is the icing on the cake! How either of them keep it together is beyond me! Diane is a comic genius.
“I think he was able to take on and manage his emotions whilst engaging with potatoes”
😂 this broke me
The Soviet Onion totally takes the cake. Kudos to that expert for not breaking character and bursting out laughing.
The way she ask silly questions seriously, and gets genuine answers from professionals makes me explode with laughter. SUBSCRIBED
That's exactly what I do in my job, I'm a reference librarian. I have a degree in answering questions and they're doing what professionals are expected to do in that situation.
Fun fact: Iguanas can't get rabies, only mammals can.
@@theotherther1that’s amazing. I might use that fact for quizzing purposes.
To ask "stupid" questions of an expert and have them attempt to provide an answer of sorts, to boil it down to something a child could understand, can be quite interesting even aside from the comedy
i think they are actors and not really experts
@@theotherther1Not just mammals, I have rabies
My new fav 'go to' for guarenteed belly laughs!
Best Lines:
"Ice cream n' stuff..."
"If we give starving a bunch of money, how do you know theyre not just gonna so spend it all on food...?"
Bravo
1:34 is such a wonderful moment. I love that they kept in her kicking the table.
That part sent me into hysterics
The Cunk team is absolutely brilliant.
I can listen to Diane Morgan deliver these dry lines all day long.
You guys are right up there with Monty Python. I hope thats a compliment for you. From me, thats high praise.
Never did find out what kind of gravy goes with peacock. I guess I'll have to do a goose again this Christmas. 😩
What a shame
Bread sauce?
😂😂😂😂@@dwren365
Soviet Onion gravy.
Cock sauce is a false friend for peacock. Don't fall for it! For peacock, you must put peas in it.
I love how respectful all the interview answers are. Like they actually genuinely answer her questions.
The deep soulful sigh the food expert lets out when Cunk expresses her misgivings with bread sauce sent me.
He will never be able to eat bread sauce again without thinking about her comment!
The cooking guy at the end, the smile that turns into a frown of deep disappointment
5:54 He might actually have been scared of potatoes and tomatoes, when he first saw them, because their leaf shape suggests that they're related to a very poisonous European plant. Ms. Cunk's question, in this case, is far from as stupid as it sounds.
Counterpoint: what if the question actually was very stupid? It's just a potato.
I remember a time before Netflix picked it up, all of these full episodes were free on UA-cam. A good time.
10:28 wow she just went for it... and his soul left his body
This is the best history documentary I've ever watched. I recommend it for children.
Her explaining monster munch to the posh guy killed me
That bit about the struggling zoo makes me laugh every damn time.
Same 😂
When I heard Renee Sauce I literally spit my salad through my nose
"I'm not predominantly a sauce person."
@@burgundian-peanutsthat one was such a smooth professor. When he can take a joke and go with it.
3:51 "Why do we cry when it's the onions that are getting hurt?" The look on her face... Oh my word. 🤣
"How do we know they're not going to go out and blow it all on food" - Brilliant! LOL
That clumsy knee-kick when she sat down at the table. Briliant. 😆
1:34
That Sigh Jay gives at the very end is one of my favorite things ever :)
Man in 7:05 . Love how he talk gently and clearly explaining . he is also not afraid to learn but what he does not know modestly ❤❤❤❤❤
“Back then they didn’t know Big Birds had a person inside” caught me totally off guard 🤣🤣🤣
I live in the u.s. and just stumbled upon Ms.Cunk. Her interviews are fascinating. This is the first time I can honestly say I was absolutely spellbound by such brilliant questioning. It was clear that many of her interviewees were squirming. They simply couldn't keep up with the way her mind works. Brava Ms. Cunk!
The funny thing is, I don’t think this would work in the U.S. at all.
I love the ones that twig, and play along. Some true gems in the responses.
"Twig"? It's all scripted before the camera rolls.
@@tricky1581 I do not believe so, they are not actors.
There used to be an Australian comedian in the 80s called (screen name) Norman Gunstan. He did a similar thing.
The food expert actually seems really likeable
The best way to avoid crying when cutting onions is to not get emotionally attached to the onion before cutting.
“Unless perhaps the zoo is struggling financially and the owner lost all hope” 😂 I died
I LOVE THIS! I have watched the Netflix series at least 5 times and it never gets old. Genius comedy! Thank you!!!
06:40 _"if you want to talk about Russian Soviet vegetables we can -- I mean it was a deeply agrarian country.."_ what a lil smart-ass haha he wouldn't let it go lmaoo
The guy of the Soviet Onion, I just love him 😂
Im sorry you spelled that wrong, or you are just dumb 😜😜
6:30 SHE'S GOT HIM ON THE ROPES
The sigh and eye twitch from the last dude 😂😂😂😂
I think he could manage his emotions while engaging with a potato XD 😂 Brilliant!
I've never been a bread sauce lover and now I know why. Thankyou Cunk.
You can tell Jay Rayner the Food Expert was barely holding it together, haha. They definitely had to cut out a lot of laughter
4:32 What a cute little smile. Not sure if she was about to break character and laugh or was still in character and really pleased that an expert praised her.
Teaching that guy about Monster Munch 😭✋
"Islamic Mega Nerds" 😂
Only the British can have a man-professor of Imperial and Military History named Ashley. He’d kick your butt back to the dark ages, too.
🤣 The ending. He couldn't do nothing but sigh. She is hilarious for this stuff
The suppressed grin when she says what bread sauce looks like -- LOL.
"we will have to eat different things.."
"Ice cream and Stuff"
this got me rollin
5:45 "this is a buccaneering character and I think that he probably was able to take on and manage his emotions whilst engaging with potatoes at first sight". I love the idea that he might have meant himself with the buccaneering character and the potatoes he mentioned are Philomena...
The ending was beautiful.
1:33 I watched this video with my mother and brother and this moment where she kicks the table, making the glasses all clink, and nobody acknowledges it made us all laugh after a moment.
Also when she says “Are the pyramids built the way they are to prevent the homeless from sleeping on them?”
I think the guy at the end just. gave. up. That sigh. :D
That chef dude is never having bread sauce again.
Or another interview with Cunk.
Cunk on food? We need a new series called that!
I'm all for medicine crisps.
I love it. Now that there's a new one out Cunk on Life UA-cam shows me all the old clips again. Sadly only one long episode this time but it's great as usual. Somehow I watch a comedy movie and say this is so dumb but watch cunk and laugh out loud.
That sigh at the end though lol
To think we only had plain crisps with a little bit of salt not that long ago.
The perfect Christmas dinners usually involve a family row!
The discussion about Soviet Onion was epic. What a poker face response about the Soviet agrarian society lol
07:54 How posh do you have to be to have never heard of Monster Munch? 😂
As a citizen of the United States (and apparently quite isolated) this video was my first experience with Cunk. To be honest, at first, I wasn't sure what I was watching.
Once I caught on, I found myself in stitches the rest of the way through. I want to be able to watch this over here! Riotously funny stuff. I could tell what was coming when she prepared to taste her "sauce," yet still laughed uncontrollably at her reaction.
If sitcoms here could be HALF as funny as this is, I might actually watch broadcast television again. (To be fair, to be this funny, they'd likely need to not be sitcoms and some format more like this...)
Try IT crowd, she is in there, you won't be disappointed
@@hasanalhasan7219 Unless Diane Morgan (Cunk) played some guest role, you are thinking of Katherine Parkinson... she was in IT Crowd. They're both great, though and IT Crowd is worth of watching!
Netflix my guy.
@@MaylarArt i dont k ow why but i though they were the same person, thank you for your response this is an eye opener for me
@@hasanalhasan7219 IT Crowd is Katherine Parkinson - great show.
The best parts are when she actually presents something actually deep, like the peanut allergy question
Its actually a pretty realistic one when it comes to feeding people are homeless or meal delivery services for seniors and those with disabilities. Sometimes we assume a baseline of exposure to food, drinks etc. and get miffed when they reject an item due to allergy. Not hungry enough may come up as a thought, but could be far from the truth.
I love the way she Keeps a straight face, while asking stupid questions.
How poetic to ak 'how come you know so much about vegetables, do you have an allotment?'
Lol her serious and attentive expression while speaking about potatoes is legendary, she looks intense to the point of worried making it extremely hard to argue with her or accuse her of trolling, this isn't trolling this is far beyond such worthless behaviour, this is legendary
She was quite chuffed re peanut question. At the same time trying not to laugh that it never crossed the other person’s mind
And at the very end, the guy is so engaging and keeps a straight face up until she says jizz 😂😂😂😂
My belly hurts, Cunk is a genius. I feel so much better knowing it's not just me thinking bread sauce is basically, well you know. DIS-Gust-Ting!
it's got spunk!
Bahahaa😅 Diane is a comedic genius and her deadpan delivery is perfection.👌🏽❤️ Loved the last bit when Cunk referred to bread sauce as looking like jizz🙈🤭 then watching him respond with a deep sigh of total surrender😒😂 and confusion🥴
My fav is the guy who talks to her like he’s putting niece to bed on Christmas Eve…
Well done compilation of clips and other videos. Think I will enjoy while munching on crisps.
I had just taken a drink, suffice to say I was not ready for that ending
you cant tell it bc she is such a great, funny actor, but she is also so 😍
I love her so much
The Soviet onion guy looks really annoyed at the stupid questions.
Philomena chewing a chunk of raw potato❤😂 6:07
The part where she asks why she’s not a chocolate eclair. Cunk existential crisis
Philomena explaining what a Monster Munch is to a posh academic has sent me 😭😭
"And that's from a professor...Sean". LOL!!
the bit about emotions around handling potatoes
This presenter poses sharp questions that leave many of her respondents struggling for an appropriate riposte. The English can always count on maximum confoundment to thwart an opponent. The first man on the Moon, a Brit, puzzled the world by not even being announced that they were sending a Chap there, until he inquired, after setting foot upon the dusty surface, "What's for tea dear?"
Such brilliance ... Diane is the absolute best in having completely blank eyes all the while behind them neurons are firing like machine guns.
If find it kinda reassuring that Sir Walter Raleigh was most likely capable of managing his emotions whirlist engaging with a potato for the first time
