This would break the internet

-long rambling historical lecture
-Yeah. Yeah. Sorry, I was thinking of birds for a moment. Many people in Ukraine are surprised and angry to learn they are actually Russia. What would happen if other parts of Russia learn they are actually France? Would they try to join the EU?
- I could hear your post! 😂😂😂

"someone told me that the cold war never really ended, but my cousin Lucy went to Turkey on holiday last year and she said it was really hot and she got sunburnt, so has it ended or is the cold war only happening where it's snowed?"
- ~~cousin~~ ~~Lucy~~ mate Paul

You're famous for being photographed shirtless on a horse. Is that because horses can't judge you, or is it a new Russian policy for reducing laundry costs?

We know Google Translate gets things wrong sometimes so I was just wondering if Russia means "Special" Military Operation in the same way the Americans mean "Special" Olympics?

King Arthur came a lot, didn't he?
- Where did he come?
  
  Chainmail stocking

I have zero clue who that is....
- This is Philomena Cunk, a satirical BBC news reporter. They produce videos in which she interviews historical experts but only asks them stupid questions like “Were the pyramids built from the ground up, or from the top down?”
  
  The best ones are with the philosophy guy imo, he employs the rethorical "Principle of Charity" in such a master class way which turns her stupid questions into profound conundrums which he tackles and he manages to act out this sense of being delighted to finally being asked deep philosophical questions in an interview. It's great.

- Neither does she
- Yeah I've never watched BBC programming outside of porn.
  
  Cunk on Earth is comedy porn, so that's close enough.
- Cunk
- Get cunked on!
- Satire "reporter". Check out "Cunk in Earth" on netflix, and you'll understand. I highly recommend it.
  
  Unpopular opinion: I didn't find it as funny as Cunk on Britain. The humour in Cunk on Earth is less subtle; it doesn't have the trademark British dry wit and sarcasm. The new show kind of tries to be funny instead of letting the humour flow. I grew up with British TV so I prefer the first series.
- The dictator or Russia

Ngl that would be legitimately hilarious and I would watch the shit out of it lol
- Putin wouldn't even play around with windows. He would get frustrated and shoot her himself like, at the most, 10 minutes into the interview.

I can imagine it. Do you think Europe could maybe invade the UK? That seems reasonable.

PUMP UP THE JAM starts playing in background

She isn't the same person who broke the internet in the IT crowd though
- I had the same exact thought the first time I saw her. They look surprisingly similar.
- Katherine Parkinson 🔥🔥
  
  TIL. Cunk's real name is Diane Morgan.
- The Elders of the Internet know who I am??
- Too bad... I was gonna recommend someone to tell her Putin looked like a magician before the interview.
- Nope. I thought that as well at first.

Uhm, who is that?
- Putin is the dictator of Russia
  
  A dictatorship is a system of government where the one person gets to help everyone out by making all the tough and boring governmenty decisions. But it’s also a system where the the one person making the decisons can be a really bad person, and therefore can make really bad decisions. So, yeah, swings and roundabouts.
- Look up cunk on earth

who is this ?
- That's my mate Paul's friend.
- Cunk on Earth Trailer - BBC
  
  Wow, she's amazing 🤣

  Ive wondered if this is her real last name

I am not working and I would still put money in the GoFundMe for this if one existed.

Yeah, that ugly asshole has no sense of humour. He would have probably killed her 5 minutes in
- Philomena must be protected!
- Wh wh wha what did Cunk do to you y u y y our bastard
  
  He's talking about Putin I think.

I would be interested in hearing her take on Palestine.
- Last time she talked about Israel or the Jews she lost her script and they joke sensored the whole thing. I can expect pretty much the same for Palestine.
- She'd probably think that a Palestine is a type of fruit

She would not survive after…
- HE would not survive after.

Barry Shitpeas
- I wonder why he never took off along with her.
  
  In case you're really that curious.

Flo from Progressive Insurance?

⚠️Here is her interview with Putin:
https://youtu.be/oONWipjpuDY?si=ngSyzUuNl0wXRMeF

This would be MOST VIEWED content!!! Can we arrange it?

Hahahaha. He might even let her, if he knows how stupid she is
- You know it's an act, right???
