Cunk On Life

December 21, 2024 7:01 PM

Walking Around In Locations with Philomena Cunk returns to explain the meaning of life. Somehow, this will all make sense.

I'm looking forward to her tripping on a stone, in Philomena fashion.

Very much looking forward to this. I laughed my ass off at the others.

Diane rocks. She can give Sacha Baron Conan a run for his money when it comes to deadpan trolling.

A true original, she dumped her boyfriend because of the way he fell down the stairs.

I wonder if we'll get her colleague Barry Shitpeas back for a cameo? It'd be great if we got another Charlie Brooker Screen Wipe round-up for the year but I'm guessing he is otherwise occupied these days.

Or her mate Paul, who appears to be quite a tortured soul. Poor guy.

Watched the trailer. Clocked the LPM rate (laughs per minute) at an astonishing 17. Most funny-people are lucky to get to 1.

That family name is a masterpiece of awkwardness and yet, sounds absolutely real. Bravo!

Just how well she can hold that deadpan attitude never ceases to amaze and makes Cunk such a great character. Love her performance.

A good bit for Cunk would be to discuss internet memes such as the Rickroll, then cut to this song.

A serious-looking person who, with absolute confidence and unwavering certainty, pulls a stream of nonsense out of her ass and presents it as fact? It's almost as if it's a metaphor for a monstrous new digital technology that is destroying the fabric of our very lives. Yes: I'm talking about the email. You may not be aware of it, but hundreds of people every day are sending these missives made of light, creating a kind of dense "word fog" in the very atmosphere that

Just watching it now... its pretty good, full of the usual quips, asides, brainless babbling. Guests are a lot more wary and can't be baited quite so easily; although there is a mix of old & new people being interviewed and some are a lot more self-aware than others in their responses. RIP Waylon Jackalope IV.
