How the fuck can someone be so sober and so high at the same time

She's always dressed in case she's offered to play the Doctor

She sounds like a child who grew up without being corrupted or educated by the world and the terrible and beautiful experiences life provides.

Her show writers are fantastic but she has the wonderful ability to elevate their jokes to heaven. Or so her mate Paul says.

She's like an AI in the early stages

"How many Three Wise Men were there?" "Who knows?" She had it 🤣

I love how she interviews these people who have put so much time into learning these parts of history just for her to ask them things like "do you think that Mozart would find me hot"

00:51 Her just falling and embracing it by rolling down the sand hill makes me laugh every time

She has the ability to stun lock people in position with her words

She makes me want to become a master in my profession just so I’ll get the opportunity to get trapped in an interview with her.

She speaks like a 5 page essay written an hour before its due. I love it.

Her delivery is fantastic, how she can keep a straight face through these moments is beyond me

so i discovered her existence 8 minutes ago and she's now my favourite person on earth (the planet that i'm on right now)

"Because of feminenism, that man whistling might be a woman, and the woman hes whistling at, might be the prime minister" This is so genius it rocks me to my core

"with creature comforts like indoor plumbing and cunnilingus" That line is murder

her ability to cast confusion on every master of profession she meets is amazing. like throwing a verbal bag of sand in their eyes and they cant help but go what the fuck

The thing I love about her the most is how she seamlessly starts a sentence with a very natural track of words and then randomly takes a U turn and the whole meaning to that sentence changes along with the potential answer that would have been.

Why is it SO funny to ask interviewees "Who are you?" It's a legitimate question, but sounds completely ridiculous in that context, I love it.

0:44 there is something very charming about how she is reacting to the music. It was a perfect "awkward" half dance kinda reaction and the song choice was perfect too.

7:49 This perfectly captures the genuine upset feeling kids have when they learn that the sun will eventually die after billions of years

This women is everything that's right about society

We must protect this school dropout.

3:03 “stolstice” him saying “you’ve got it” encouragingly is so cute

Her ability to flabbergast the experts is awe inspiring.

"The Egyptians believed the most significant thing you could do in your life was die" I've never laughed this hard in my life!!!

Love how if you watch mute it looks like such a professional, high quality documentary but the moment you turn on one bar your brain melts lol

She's a living definition of a British sense of humour

“How many three wise men where there?” “Who knows?” Peak content right here ladies and gentlemen

She is like the alternate universe Dr Who who cheated on her History exams and spends her first regeneration being utterly confused at history.

The response to "her neck is very long" is everything

2:02 I love how BAFFLED this man is. XD

I love that she genuinely confuses the interviewees she's such a gift to this world

" Pompeii was so advanced it had its own volcano, which is Latin for 'angry hill.' " This woman is brilliant! 🤣

She's an absolute unit, but I love the people who are able to put aside their "life of dedication to their expertise" and play into a meme

Philomena is the endboss for every expert in their field ever

0:56 I get the feeling that was unscripted, and her swear of pain was very genuine lol.

The visibly stressed exhale she let out when she heard that a "whole galaxy's going to hit us" is fucking pristine. What a legend.

Irving Finkel, one of the British Museum's most brilliant minds, reduced to a squeek.

1:54 I CAN'T WITH THAT SHIT DAWG, IT'S KILLING ME FOR 5 MINUTES NOW

If she weren't so damn hilarious, she'd be one of the most relaxing presenters in all of documentary production Also, Latin for "angry hill" kills me every time

"With creature comforts such as 'plumbing' and 'cunnalingus'" absolutely sent me off the wall.

Love how she can say all these things with a straight face, even near the end when the other person starts laughing 😂

Having a sandwhich , painting your bicycle blue and then going bwrbbrwb 2:36

Brian Cox trying to keep it together as she asks him if he can imagine what it's like to be sucked off through a hole just cracked me up !!! 😀

at times her micro-expressions are absolute genius. She holds the character in place every moment. Incredible talent

Gosh, she would have been such an amazing Doctor Who! Saying absolute insanity and asking weirdest questions with a straight face and just baffling her enemies into submission.

When she took a bite of her sandwich on the Zoom call, I nearly died of laughter 💀💀💀

My archaeology lecturer was in this show. I have absolutely no idea how she kept a straight face. I can only guess that each interview required multiple takes.

"With creature comforts like indoor plumbing, and cunnilingus." I died RIGHT THERE. 🤣

I was watching this whilst falling off a building, but I was saved by her magisterial grace.

"Pyramids are just triangles with square asses" send water flying out my nose🤣🤣

She's comedic genius and I'm forever going to be soiling my undergarments to this

"How many three wise men were there" "Who knows" That one got me lol

I have no idea why she’s blowing up now on my feed, but I’m grateful to be introduced to her.

“…Shitting a harpsichord made of glass horses onto the floor” 🤣 So much laughter from so much nonsense 🤣

She is beyond brilliant! Massively entertaining & never disappoints. Thanks Phil!!

She's like a fine cheese of ignorance, idiocy, innocence, and occasional, humorous, somehow accidentally profound questions.

This woman is a national treasure.

She is a genius, she asks you the most stupid and ridiculous things you can imagine, but you never know if shes is serious or not.

2:56 she’s so funny for no reason😭😭

"so it was much much bigger than rap metal, then?" "mm- yes, much bigger" "what about acid jazz?" *starts shitting uncontrollably*

This woman should be knighted and sainted. Any award known to man. She's absolutely brilliant.

5:36 that guy's face is literally everyone's 😂😂😂😆😆

The "I think, therefore I am" bit was actually really friggin deep.

To play stupid, you have to be a genious.

She’s a genius. I laugh my heart out every time I watch her show.

Her ability to keep a straight face is god tier.

2:02 his pure exasperation made me giggle and kick my feet back and forth

She really nailed her character as a dim-witted mockumentaries which is something rare these days

Philomena Cunk: "If I think therefore I am, what about other people, do they think therefore they am? How can I tell if they're thinking therefore they am? Or am I just thinking they think therefore they am, but actually they're not real, and I am only thinking they am. Are you thinking therefore you am right now?" Random Dude: *Breaths in*

The interviewees reactions are too genuine, which means a lot of her jokes are made up on the spot. She is just brilliant

"The Egyptians believed that the most significant thing you could do in your life was die." Philomena said as she calmly died on a sand dune

"Here come the hot-steppa...murderer" a modern musical genre, among all that ancient histories and artworks. The contrasting effect caught me off guard 😅😅

Cunk must be protected at all costs

God, saying “Why is it a mystery how the pyramids were made? Looks like a bunch of big bricks in a triangle.” physically made me crumble.

she's that random intrusive thought we have at 3am and i'm living for it

Philomena Cunk amazes me because she will start a completely normal sentence, you THINK you know where it's going, you think "ok, this sentence is going Way A or Way B." then she will turn around and take it in Way Z

Can't believe I lived a full life not knowing about this, she's fucking brilliantly funny

her mate paul, her love for food and sauces, and her humour makes this show absolutely fab 😂👌

5:47 I’ve never seen such a look in person. It’s amazing she can just keep talking. And “intimate skin”. Definitely using that

Undoubtedly the most serious person at the BBC

2:02 he malfunctioned

She's like if The Doctor regenerated and became a documentarian

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

"How many three wise men were there?" always gets me. I honestly can't tell if it is a stupid or profound question. 😆

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

Still waiting for Philomena to explain what happens to our laps when we stand up

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: 🤔

Her adorable cuteness just adds a little extra to her brilliant comedic buffoonery.

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

“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💀
