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.
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 :)
@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!!!
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
@@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 UA-cam deleting the comment). Definitely not 70s style.
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.
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.
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 😅
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.
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." . . .
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.
In a time when so many people seem proud of their ignorance it's refreshing to see someone that actually knows things and actively engaged in learning more. You are a delight......a beacon of light in a darkening world
You ever see someone on the Internet and wish there were more of them.. yea... This is that moment. Intelligence, education, wander, and wisdom is truly beautiful. Keep learning you beautiful soul.
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.
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.
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
I've only just come across your channel, and I could not be happier about the range of your content. Instantly subscribed. And you're right, the name Richard has not been used by a British king since the death of Richard III. in 1485. The most likely instance you would encounter a Richard IV. is in the first season of the comedy series Blackadder, played by the amazing Brian Blessed.
Cunk is a character by Diane Morgan, she is known for 'Black Mirror' amongst other things. As for a music artist, I suggest, 'The Sisters of Mercy' and their 1987 album 'Floodland', I recommend a more recent version of it which includes the tracks, 'Colours', 'Torch' and 'Neverland (Full)', it's probably different to what you might be used to, but I think that you might like it.
Not quite - Philomena Cunk 1st appeared on Charlie Brooker's weekly wipe, along with Barry Shitpeas. Charlie wrote Black Mirror, Diane had nothing to do with it
If you have not reviewed it yet. Dave Allen - "Teaching Your Kid Time" - '93 is a great skit. As an adult watching it , the difficulties I had learning to read a clock face make so much more sense. Loved your reaction to Philomena Cunk. Definitely worth watching full episodes.
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.
As for pop recommendations: The Undertones -Teenage Kicks, from Derry, Northern Ireland. The song is one of the best pop punk records of all time, much celebrated by the BBC. This week a huge wall mural was unveiled in Derry marking 45 years since it was released
I love Philomena Cunk, you have to watch more of her. She is just amazing in asking 'stupid' question showing the contradiction in culture, language, ...
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
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. Bew Order: Blue Monday from Manchester.
She's thanks to Charlie Brooker (Black Mirror). He had shows 'Weekly Wipe', 'Screen Wipe' & 'News Wipe' featuring Philomena Cunk & Barry Shitpeas. Everything Brooker does is hilarious.
All the specialists, interviewed by Cunk, (Diane Morgan) know it's a comedy, but have no prior knowledge of the questions, and are simply asked to respond as they see fit. Cunk is a joyous creation.
I know everybody has somewhat explained Diane Morgan is the actress, and in this video, she displays her great talant with a sincere breakdown when they're talking about the bombs. I believe her greatest skill is having almost completely blank eyes, like nothing's going on, yet in reality, her mind is working a million miles an hour. Diane is so brilliant that it's almost difficult to see her in her real personality, Philomena is simply a masterpiece of a character.
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.
@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.
Her real name is Diane Morgan. The people being interviewed are only told that it's satire but they have no idea what's going to happen. She's an amazing actress and she has me in stitches. Brian Cox said that he was crying with laughter while she kept a perfectly straight face. He's a terrible giggler. It's worth watching whole episodes. ✌️❤️🇬🇧
@user-tn8uu2cu8g sorry, struggling to find any relevance to the video topic. In any case I don't pray to any non existent figment of the imagination of an illiterate goat herder who lived in a desert and fucked a 9 year old girl.
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.
The character is Philomena, played brilliantly by actress Diane Morgan. full episodes are very, very good indeed. She is backed by a team of very smart writers and many of the questions she poses are not as stupid as at first they might seem. some are brilliant critiques wrapped as questions, others are serious questions in the philosophical, culture and psychological fields.. The interviewees are told it's a comedy sketch but have no prior knowledge of questions etc. Al Murray is a History graduate from Oxford University who wrestles a lot of history into his Pub Landlord character. Joy Div' were not post punk they were bang in punk, lol.
"some are brilliant critiques wrapped as questions, others are serious questions in the philosophical, culture and psychological fields.." Don't disagree, but some is a key word here. Some of them are are just hilariously stupid.
Loving all of your vids, just have the humour and perfect break down of it all....I would suggest Ultravox as a chance....some very good stuff.....if I can dig out some more suggestions Cunk would be great but feeling a tad spoiled here 👍👍leave the Chris Morris stuff for a while maybe though I imagine you would like it....
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.
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"! 🙃
Diane Morgan is the name of the actress who plays Cunk, and it is a role totally, she is actually a really clever comedian, her dead pan delivery is perfect. The writing is lead by Charlie Brooker who is also a very clever writer. There are a lot of clever references and social commentary through out all the Cunk shows and they are spot on with the history. Even that 3 wisemen question comes from the fact that some scholars have disputed or In some cases entertained the idea that there may have been more or less, although not my area of expertise. I highly recommend watching a full series, because while these short compilations are quite funny, watching with proper context (in terms of hearing and seeing the setups to the jokes) is so much better. Also needs to be pointed out, they're way of talking to experts is much better than most other parody documentaries, the people know it's a comedy documentary, they also know the show respects the history, they just don't know what Cunk will do or say/ask. So while a few can get annoyed (I take it more to be, it's not their type of humour) no one really gets angry or feel like they are being made fun of.
Ooh, impressed by the New Order and Joy Division shout-outs near the end! Demonstrating yet again she is a lady of discerning taste. She asked for some further recommendations of UK bands/artists from the late 70's/early 80's. Damn, where to start? Hmm. How about mostly staying away from the obvious, like The Sex Pistols, The Cure, The Clash, Siouxsie & The Banshees, Elvis Costello, The Police, Wire, Echo & The Bunnymen, and The Buzzcocks. Though they are amazing. So, let's cross a spectrum of sounds with song selections from the arguably obscure to the still vital & timeless (yet ironically Time seems to forget). Here goes, in no particular order... The Fall - Oh! Brother The Soft Boys - I Wanna Destroy You Swell Maps - Lets Build A Car Gang of Four - At Home He's A Tourist The English Beat - Mirror In A Bathroom The English Beat - Save It For Later Haircut 100 - Love Plus One The Slits - Typical Girls The Selecter - Too Much Pressure The Specials - Ghost Town Public Image Ltd. - Public Image The Mekons - Where Were You The Adverts - One Chord Wonders [Radio Edit] Sham 69 - (There's Gonna Be A) Borstal Breakout 999 - Homicide Alien Sex Fiend - Ignore The Machine The Psycheledic Furs - Mr. Jones [original Album version] General Public - Tenderness Big Country - In A Big Country The Pretenders - The Wait [note: yes, Chrissie Hynde is American, but the rest of her original bandmaters were Brits, and the band was based in the UK] Delta 5 - Mind Your Own Business The Raincoats - Lola (cover of The Kings original) Siouxsie & The Banshees - Dazzle (...okay, yeah, I snuck a Siouxsie & The Banshees song in here after all. Sue me). Soft Cell - Tainted Love/Where Did Our Love Go [Extended Version] A Flock Of Seagulls - Space Age Love Song Cocteau Twins - Lorelie
She first appeared on Charlie Brookers Screenwipe and Newswipe, he's the creator of Black Mirror. I recommend that show if you haven't seen any, very observant and satirical.
This video was very interesting. The Frederick Forsyth book on the shelf, and I believe I saw a tattoo, which I was curious about. I am at work and cannot really hear the video. I will watch it when I get home. I am wondering if No Protocol has a tattoo.
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!
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
Experts are real, and in season 1 completely unprepared for what was happening. That architecture expert lost his temper properly, according to an interview
What is this beverage you drink? Madness as a band choice or the specials. Thank you for the cabbages and kings recomendation, which led me to banana cowboys by James w. Martin 😊 love the channel.
TBH, the gospels do not specify how many "wise men" there were. It is only told that "some magi" came to see and praise the newborn child, but no number is given. But, since it is said that they did bring three presents with them (gold, frankincense and myrrh), later tradition has assumed that they were also three, and even given them names, origins and ethnicities. In many countries they're even known as kings.
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.
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 UA-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.
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.

@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. 😉

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.
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.

This was fun! I've never heard of Philomena before and will give her a look.
"Public image Ltd", are a great British band from late 70's early 80's, also "Coil" and "Chris and Cosey" are another two.
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”.
Diane is part of a comedy troop that has been making "mockumentaries" for almost 10 years. priceless!

So while a few can get annoyed (I take it more to be, it's not their type of humour) no one really gets angry or feel like they are being made fun of.
23 seconds in and I already see a "what is this shit???" Look on NP's face. 🤣
Ooh, impressed by the New Order and Joy Division shout-outs near the end! Demonstrating yet again she is a lady of discerning taste. She asked for some further recommendations of UK bands/artists from the late 70's/early 80's. Damn, where to start? Hmm. How about mostly staying away from the obvious, like The Sex Pistols, The Cure, The Clash, Siouxsie & The Banshees, Elvis Costello, The Police, Wire, Echo & The Bunnymen, and The Buzzcocks. Though they are amazing. So, let's cross a spectrum of sounds with song selections from the arguably obscure to the still vital & timeless (yet ironically Time seems to forget). Here goes, in no particular order...
The Fall - Oh! Brother
The Soft Boys - I Wanna Destroy You
Swell Maps - Lets Build A Car
Gang of Four - At Home He's A Tourist
The English Beat - Mirror In A Bathroom
The English Beat - Save It For Later
Haircut 100 - Love Plus One
The Slits - Typical Girls
The Selecter - Too Much Pressure
The Specials - Ghost Town
Public Image Ltd. - Public Image
The Mekons - Where Were You
The Adverts - One Chord Wonders [Radio Edit]
Sham 69 - (There's Gonna Be A) Borstal Breakout
999 - Homicide
Alien Sex Fiend - Ignore The Machine
The Psycheledic Furs - Mr. Jones [original Album version]
General Public - Tenderness
Big Country - In A Big Country
The Pretenders - The Wait [note: yes, Chrissie Hynde is American, but the rest of her original bandmaters were Brits, and the band was based in the UK]
Delta 5 - Mind Your Own Business
The Raincoats - Lola (cover of The Kings original)
Siouxsie & The Banshees - Dazzle (...okay, yeah, I snuck a Siouxsie & The Banshees song in here after all. Sue me).
Soft Cell - Tainted Love/Where Did Our Love Go [Extended Version]
A Flock Of Seagulls - Space Age Love Song
Cocteau Twins - Lorelie
Diane Morgan, she was also in After Life with Ricky Gervais, Cunk on Britain is a good one.
She first appeared on Charlie Brookers Screenwipe and Newswipe, he's the creator of Black Mirror. I recommend that show if you haven't seen any, very observant and satirical.
For movies based on Shakespeare plays, Kenneth Branagh's Henry V, and A Midsummer Night's Dream (1935 film) with Cagney and Mickey Rooney.
The "Titan 1 C" sketch was one of my favourites.
This video was very interesting. The Frederick Forsyth book on the shelf, and I believe I saw a tattoo, which I was curious about. I am at work and cannot really hear the video. I will watch it when I get home. I am wondering if No Protocol has a tattoo.
Love the music recommendation! The music video is heavy...
Counter recommendation in Spanish. GIT - No Hieras Mi Corazon
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!
Philomena is great, she came out of Screenwipe with Charlie Brooker originally and got her own spin off 😂
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
It was a toss-up who was more fun to watch: Diane Morgan's "Philomena Cunk" or you. Your expressions were priceless. Thank you.
I really love that painting!
Funny you mentioned Karl, Diane was in Gervais’s series Afterlife in which she is obviously very good
Diane Morgan is the actress, Philomena Cunk is the character. Written by Charlie Brooker (also created Black Mirror)
Experts are real, and in season 1 completely unprepared for what was happening. That architecture expert lost his temper properly, according to an interview
Best thing from the first season: We might never have known about the details of the battle of Hastings, but “Luckily, a bystander took a tapestry”
Amelia from chicken shop dates sounds posh. Philomena Cunk sounds northern.
Diane Morgan is briilliant as Philomena. The interviewees knew it was a comedy program, but didn't know what she's ask them
Your sense of humor is quite infectious.
I come here for the intelligent commentary. The soothing voice is an added bonus ^_^
Also at :28 seconds a question that stumps a lot of people is "What color is a red house"?
The guy you asked about is Jay Rayner.
Binging on Cunk is fun! The one on "Time" is pretty funny.
Not necessarily a big New Order fan, but do really like that song, 'Leave Me Alone' too.
oh my god the karl pilkington comment is spot on
What is this beverage you drink? Madness as a band choice or the specials. Thank you for the cabbages and kings recomendation, which led me to banana cowboys by James w. Martin 😊 love the channel.
TBH, the gospels do not specify how many "wise men" there were. It is only told that "some magi" came to see and praise the newborn child, but no number is given. But, since it is said that they did bring three presents with them (gold, frankincense and myrrh), later tradition has assumed that they were also three, and even given them names, origins and ethnicities. In many countries they're even known as kings.
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.
This is amazing stuff. Just in time because I'm finishing up the ricky gervais show.
The actor name : Sacha Baron Cohen ..He played Borat too :) Ali G..He's the best...
Your paintings are beautiful!
"Do you like ABBA?" Just gold😂 Cunk is a character 🙂 But Diane isn't far from the weirdness 😆
IF you like Amelia from Chicken shop date, she did Taskmaster New Year Treat a year ago!
