The one where she asks if King Arthur came a lot absolutely had me in stitches.

Same here. The woman she's talking to... that poor girl. You can see her, on multiple occasions, have to hold herself back from either laughing or just outright asking "Are you fucking stupid?!"

Link!

I looked it up and apparently this ISN'T the actress from IT Crowd. However, even after IMDB confirmed it I'm having trouble believing they aren't the same person.

I've never realised that they even looked alike until now.

She was on charlie brookers various wipes before she had her own show.

Are you saying all redheads look the same to you? That racist against the pales!

No, I am saying that all British people sound the same to me. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

You need to visit Birmingham, no one has any idea what they're saying, I don't even think they do.

Her name is Philomena Cunk! 😁 I didn't know that before. Now I can find more videos. Thank you, sir! Awesome.

The characters name is Philomena Cunk and has her own series. The comedienne is Diane Morgan.

Her sitcom "Mandy" is one of the most underrated bit of TV ever made

That walk tho 😂

Somebody explain the joke to my dumbass please

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

She said something ridiculous which confused the expert. She then clarified that it meant something super benign which confused her even more.

Here's the clip.

Cunk. She's a comedians persona - imagine the stupidest, most clueless woman going around interviewing experts in their respective fields. She is asking the worst questions possible and stumps some of the most intelligent people through it. It's hilarious, give her a try

So it's a remake of Da Ali G Show?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

I don't think SBC invented playing an idiot for laughs

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I don't know that one so can't say. There's plenty of her on youtube though. One of the sketches she did, was read along with Cunk. She sat down, started reading it in silence, then took a phone call from a friend and complained that her employers made her read for some reason
