'Your watch doesn't actually measure time'
'Well... It does'
Frankly , she is giving tough times to interviewees , they don't know how to respond without losing their emotional control , kudos to both sides .
The man politely explaining how reading and writing works is amazing.
"I'd be in the kitchen, where i belong" lmfao
I have to agree with Cunk on medicine - I’d much rather have medicine crisps than a needle! Love this video!
20:23 The last line alone deserves an Emmy or something for best writing.
Because you are not supposed to laugh at your own jokes, ha!
Ooops!.
"What is a building?"
"So my shoes are a building?"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
And she inhabits her shoes.
Made mincemeat of him.
18:16 seeing that child realise she had to deal with that question, and the way she answered it, was delightful.
How Diane Morgan is able to keep a straight face is incredible.
"Can you imagine being sucked through a hole?"
Brian Cox - "Yea"
*facepalm* Glory be Brian, you just walked straight into that one, didn't you.
She is glorious.
Brian is deadpaning too. He always smiles while explaining anything lol
i think he knew lol
then she asked him a second time, LOL
No hesitation in the answer lol
Dianne Morgan who plays her is comedy gold. How she can do it so deadpan without corpsing is a testament to the acting skills.
Agree! She said she personally hates English and history so that helped immensely lol. 😂❤
"How do you get the money out of a coin?" The economist was speechless. "What will happen to us when the sun burns us up? Can we put it out with a hosepipe?" The astronomer spoke the truth...he admitted we don't really know WHAT time is. Credit to all of them for keeping a straight face throughout.
Your sweet but hilarious "innocence" is simply captivating !!!
I think I'm in love !!!💕💕💕😊
The way she looks at the camera while the guy is explaining the concept of time was such a perfect moment.
8:28 Brian’s gotta have a mind of steel to not burst out laughing at what she just said
the way he avoids her gaze lmao. love brian cox.
It's because he's much gloomier than you expect. Cos he's quite smiley.
"Do you have any idea what its like to be sucked off through a hole?"
"Yeah."
Sounds terrible without context.
I thought "Cunk On Earth" was excellent, but I had no idea I'd been missing out on these for years!
lmao i'm dead when she turned around and looked straight at the camera while Mr Scienceman explains about the clock.
8:08 I love the way they're trying to not laugh about "being sucked off into a hole", I'd love to know what Brian Cox was thinking at this moment
Even better, she said "sucked off through a hole"
He imagined Cox being sucked through a hole
Cox is probably saying, "I bet there'll be someone who'll think they are the only person on Earth who recognises that there's a joke here and needs to tell everyone that".
There's always one. Total bores.
