Cunk's Cravings Twitter: OnCunk Sharing all things Cunk - a fictional character from Charlie Brooker's Weekly Wipe, Cunk on Britain, Cunk on Shakespeare and Cunk on Earth - Portrayed by the incredible Diane Morgan.
"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!
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_
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 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.
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!
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
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.
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.
"... 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!
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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...)
@@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!
It doesn't get better than eating a biscuit with Nutella while explaining History. It truly is the best form of comedy. She almost had the Food Expert at “jizz”. He pulled it back and succeeded in not laughing. What a victory.
Onions were used by the old people for flu and other minor cold complaints. Raw onions and garlic were placed in honey jars for long periods of time and only opened when needed. The syrup mix was then swallowed by spoon and it was consumed a couple of times a day until the symptoms past. The old people also used onions in a bath to help the person sweat out the flu bug/virus. Chilli, onions and garlic were used forever to help heart conditions and ginger was always used for stomach ailments.
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 😂😂😂😂
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?"
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🥴
Here in the Netherlands 🇳🇱, the Sesame Street franchise somehow doesn't include Big Bird, who is replaced by a character whose name is Pino, and who is a person in a costume of a big bird. So I didn't get that joke at first, Big Birds having a person inside them.
One issue, as far as I can see, with medicated crisps is the distinct possibiliity, no, I'd have to at this point state it as being a very distinct probability, of overmedication. They are medicated, of course, but they are crisps. They are crisps, and when it says on the packet - I do see them as coming in a packet, not a bottle - when it says on the packet, take two at four hour intervals, but no more than 12 per day, well! Who'd do that? Maybe the Dalai Lama, perhaps. They're crisps! Crisps!
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
I always sit down for a wee - friends laugh - they are not watching like. I have also spent a long time squatting to do my business and sorting myself out with clean water, short nails and common etiquette.
The last second of this video is probably the funniest... that's a sigh of a man who will not be able to look at bread sauce the same ever again... 🤣🤣🤣
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.
"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
@@user-nr3jw9hx7l 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.
"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?
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!
"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"
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 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! 😅

Her kicking the table was subtly perfect
"And thats from a professor Sean" 😭😭💀
Cunk on crisps is probable 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?
That sigh at the end is beautiful
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
😂😂😂😂
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
"unless of course the zoo itself is struggling financially" 😂😂😂😂

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?
@@Winter-Alpha-Omega it's spelled non-sequitur, and it means almost entirely unrelated to the topic at hand.
@@adderallfannumberonefanofa3074 Thank you.
I think he was able to take on and manage his emotions while engaging the potatoes at first sight
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!
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.
"... 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!
When I heard Renee Sauce I literally spit my salad through my nose
"I'm not predominantly a sauce person."
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

That bit about the struggling zoo makes me laugh every damn time.
Same 😂
“I think he was able to take on and manage his emotions whilst engaging with potatoes”
"Islamic Mega Nerds" 😂
Cunk on food? We need a new series called that!
I remember a time before Netflix picked it up, all of these full episodes were free on CZcams. A good time.
The guy of the Soviet Onion, I just love him 😂
Im sorry you spelled that wrong, or you are just dumb 😜😜
3:51 "Why do we cry when it's the onions that are getting hurt?" The look on her face... Oh my word. 🤣
I'm all for medicine crisps.
"How do we know they're not going to go out and blow it all on food" - Brilliant! LOL
I love how respectful all the interview answers are. Like they actually genuinely answer her questions.
the delivery on these are truly amazing. Dropping the tone just at the right moment. Proper comedy this is.
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.
I think he could manage his emotions while engaging with a potato XD 😂 Brilliant!
That chef dude is never having bread sauce again.
I LOVE THIS! I have watched the Netflix series at least 5 times and it never gets old. Genius comedy! Thank you!!!
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
The food expert actually seems really likeable

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.
Well done compilation of clips and other videos. Think I will enjoy while munching on crisps.
Her explaining monster munch to the posh guy killed me
Lol when she hits the table with her knee as she's sitting down
I love the way she Keeps a straight face, while asking stupid questions.
The ending was beautiful.
I think the guy at the end just. gave. up. That sigh. :D
She’s elevated taking the piss to an art form in a way that no one else can.
Subscribed 1 minute in - adorable, funny as heck Diane!
The Soviet onion guy looks really annoyed at the stupid questions.
It doesn't get better than eating a biscuit with Nutella while explaining History. It truly is the best form of comedy.
She almost had the Food Expert at “jizz”. He pulled it back and succeeded in not laughing. What a victory.
"SOVIET ONION" 😂😂😂😂❤
*"Why do WE cry, when it's the onions that are getting hurt?!"* 3:49 Is Philomena seeing anybody? 😁🤣😂❤
That Sigh Jay gives at the very end is one of my favorite things ever :)
lol why is the peanut allergy part so wholesome 😭
the question about allergens though. that one made sense. doesn't fit
All the worlds knowledge fits into one pamphlet 😭😭
The suppressed grin when she says what bread sauce looks like -- LOL.
cunk on everything is awe inspiring
Never mind the onions 🧅 this made me cry with laughter,just brilliant.😂
I love her tiny moment of pride after the guy compliments her peanut question

i love this show
Monster Munch is available...in case you're wondering.
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!
excellent editing with that ending.
Here in the Netherlands 🇳🇱, the Sesame Street franchise somehow doesn't include Big Bird, who is replaced by a character whose name is Pino, and who is a person in a costume of a big bird.

She’s brilliant✌️
the guy on christmas i relate to besides the goose - love sighing at the end
6:10 - I think Cunk may have met her match. LOL.
That take at the end was amazing.
The deep soulful sigh the food expert lets out when Cunk expresses her misgivings with bread sauce sent me.

I don't do self-control either. I totally understand your sentiment.
I wouldn't trust a medical professional who doesn't know of "Monster Munch". Obviously his opinion on medicated crisps should be disregarded.
"we will have to eat different things.."
"Ice cream and Stuff"
this got me rollin
Teaching that guy about Monster Munch 😭✋

Medicinal Crisps. Awesome idea!
The last second of this video is probably the funniest... that's a sigh of a man who will not be able to look at bread sauce the same ever again... 🤣🤣🤣
I would love to see the outtakes ❤
you cant tell it bc she is such a great, funny actor, but she is also so 😍
*Cunk on food* should be a whole series
Such brilliance ... Diane is the absolute best in having completely blank eyes all the while behind them neurons are firing like machine guns.
I will never not be pleased by how she says crisps
If Philomena thinks bread sauce looks like j*zz, Sean probably needs to see a doctor.
The world never understood the Soviet Onion and we are still paying that price.
Best interview of her series!
Great timing. A chunk of Cunk is just what the doctor ordered. 😅
The best way to avoid crying when cutting onions is to not get emotionally attached to the onion before cutting.
Asking the real questions
Omg I just found this page and I am DEAD she is soooo funny 😂😂😂
If the UK doesn't regard her as a National Treasure? Send her to us in the US! 🥰
Excellent information and a perfect ending. 9/10* would recommend. (*point deducted bc no free crisps were provided)
I love the doctor on medication crisps.
I love this woman...
