Well, there were the Magi of the Christian myth. They weren't stated to be 3, just "mages from the East" (Mat. 2:1). Those are presumed to be 3, as they brought 3 gifts, but Syrian Christian tradition says there were 12 magi. The story is syncretic with the birth myth of Mithridates Eupator, which was attended by a star in the sky. This was about 1 century before the Christ myth. So, the answer to this profound question is anywhere from 2, one set for Jesus, one set for Mithridates, up to 5: 4 sets for Jesus, 1 set for Mithridates.
She's Joe Pera's equally eloquent, yet more chaotic cousin. Seeing them do something together would be awesome. Joe: "You know what Cuz? I love me a nice bowl of soup for dinner." Philomena: "Oh yeah me too, did you know that soup was invented by the Egyptians?" Joe: "Huh?" Philomena; "Yeah, they had these little thermos' with cute little animal heads on them that they'd use for their lunches, they loved soup so much they'd even get buried with their thermos', pretty cool innit?" Then Joe would just give a chuckle and a slight sigh, and serve soup for both of them while she incorrectly keeps talking about the non-existent obsession ancient Egyptians had with soup. I would love that show.

And the guy before!
I'm not exaggerating I choked on my saliva laughing when I read this 😭💀
She's like if The Doctor regenerated and became a documentarian
Literally my first thought while watching this
Could be his granddaughter or daughter. Imagine if they bought back Tennant for a few episodes with her. It would be insane.
@@aSpectreAppears Now would be a good time while Tennant's back for a short time lol
More like mockumentaries
@@auggie3725 He should be back permanently and so should the writers. Even the aliens went down after hiss departure for some reason.
This woman, is going places and I bet she's going to dominate the net. You go girl, you are unstoppable.
I can’t tell if i love her questions or the experts’ reactions more
Philomina’s mate Paul sounds switched on. We need more free-thinking intellectuals like him
I would like to be, that mate, Paul.
Paul is a man of culture. His adventures are unhinged. I wanna be his friend as well
He said if he ever sees Christ again he's a dead man...
Too bad he was tragically maimed in a car crash…
@@Hanakin-Sidewalker you’re shitting me
"How many three wise men were there?" always gets me. I honestly can't tell if it is a stupid or profound question. 😆
if you cant say whether its stupid or profound, then its brilliant
If they're so wise how come no one thought about gifting a bag of diapers?
Genuinely a profound question given the four accounts disagree on who attended jesus birth
The four accounts differ on just about every important detail of their common subject.
Well, there were the Magi of the Christian myth. They weren't stated to be 3, just "mages from the East" (Mat. 2:1). Those are presumed to be 3, as they brought 3 gifts, but Syrian Christian tradition says there were 12 magi. The story is syncretic with the birth myth of Mithridates Eupator, which was attended by a star in the sky. This was about 1 century before the Christ myth. So, the answer to this profound question is anywhere from 2, one set for Jesus, one set for Mithridates, up to 5: 4 sets for Jesus, 1 set for Mithridates.
I think she has a secret special ability to cause small brain aneurysms if you interact with her too much :D
Funny as hell though.
"how many 3 wise men were there"
"who knows"
Love Philomena, but it also stresses me out to know that there are people out there who are actually operating at this level of cognition
oh god you're right-
I feel attacked. I have vocal aphasia due to a head injury and I swear in my head I’m a normal person but I unfortunately talk like her xD
Nah she's great. You are thinking of Tory voters.
@@paulstewart6293 She is great, but no need for that.
@@metalmaxi lolol, not u r not
Still waiting for Philomena to explain what happens to our laps when we stand up
Just gave this comment your 69th like.
eyyyy 🙂
Easy: they remain seated.
1:53 - I love how he suppress his mouth
Thank you for showing this masterpiece to me, off to watch the series now
Philomina: “Are you thinking therefore you am right _now?”_
The dude: 🤔
Brain exe stopped working.
Her adorable cuteness just adds a little extra to her brilliant comedic buffoonery.
Indeed!
Shes actaully not smart. Ever seen her with the soviet onion scene?
She's Joe Pera's equally eloquent, yet more chaotic cousin. Seeing them do something together would be awesome.
Joe: "You know what Cuz? I love me a nice bowl of soup for dinner."
Philomena: "Oh yeah me too, did you know that soup was invented by the Egyptians?"
Joe: "Huh?"
Philomena; "Yeah, they had these little thermos' with cute little animal heads on them that they'd use for their lunches, they loved soup so much they'd even get buried with their thermos', pretty cool innit?"
Then Joe would just give a chuckle and a slight sigh, and serve soup for both of them while she incorrectly keeps talking about the non-existent obsession ancient Egyptians had with soup. I would love that show.
I admire her immense ability, in the face of the incredulity of the experts, to hold back from laughing.
her pointing at the word "...anus" and smile fucking sent me 7:12
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Didnt even notice that, thanks
“What about acid-jazz?”
*”EHMHUOoooooooohmmm”*
The Banquo’s ghost joke sent me😭😭 and then the cut to her eating whipped cream later on in the zoom💀
