I always thought it was Dostoevsky, or at least that's been the accepted spelling in recent decades. Either way, "Cunk on Life" is vastly overselling "Crime and Punishment" 😂
Fun fact: That is "kind of" the core philosophy of Hinduism. You just need to replace the word universe, with God. According to Geeta, there is nothing but but God. Everything and everyone you see, is just a different manifestation of God itself. (By extension, God does not have a gender or specific form.) P.S. - I am not a practicing Hindu. I just find this philosophy interesting as compared to the Arab/ Abrahamic imagination of there being a Guy in the sky who created everything and now goes on to watch everything judgmentally. Also, most Hindu's don't go that deep into the philosophy anyway. They just pray, make offerings and ask their favorite / relevant manifestation of God for favours in return.
@@ignorasmus But wouldn't the concept of 'God' become sort of meaningless in that sense? Like if everything is God then everything might as well be just itself, and not call it God.
@@turntdownasupastar Well, depends how one feels/ thinks and expects "God" to be. It is particularly odd to those who are familiar only with the western/ Abrahamic view. The purpose of life is not to please someone else and get into their good books and live forever happily in heaven. If you give some thought to idea of infinity/ eternity, heaven and hell aren't really all that different. If you were to become immortal, life would lose all its meaning and value. Humans are a manifestation of God, but not god themselves. They are "Atama" (closest word in English would be soul) that "broken off" from God who is "Param atma" (closest word in English would be ultimate soul/ supreme soul) and the purpose of life is to live a virtuous life so that one can merge back into the devine. If you fail to do that on this lifetime, you go back all the way to the end of the queue, get reincarnated as all lifeforms turn by turn -tiger, mosquito, bee etc until you get another shot as human, at Moksha/ salvation, which is the oneness with God where you are raised above joy and sorrow. Since they didn't have RUclips, the people back then came up with quite some fun stuff!
He appeared in Diane’s series Mandy: he mistook a baked potato that was not pricked before it was put in the oven for a meteorite & wanted to buy it from her
When the interviewee was spelling "Dostoyevsky", she should have interrupted him with a "Why not?" every time he got to a "y", and then said "Oh, sorry, I lost count. Could you start again?" 😂
Perhaps, compared to the rest of us, a higher number of “experts” have no sense of humour, or take their subject/themselves too seriously to laugh at, no?
Thank goodness for quirky comedic artists as like Diane Morgan. There are many moments where I wonder where the divide between the character of Cunk is and that of Diane. Yet, I do not stress over that as I love their comedy. 🌸
you can see how bloody clever she is when she can follow and ask the dumb question about is the buddhist clock now or then. She completely understood it and didn't lose track.
I love Philomena Cunk, but when I watch it I feel so sorry for those extremely good and kind people who try to be patient and not rude to Diane. I think that TV show is one of the most hilarious acts of cruelty in the history of mankind 😂
I'm British but live in the US. Diane was on Stephen Colbert's show and he asked her who she'd most like to interview in character as Cunk. Without missing a beat she said "Elon Musk". Now THAT is an interview we all want to see!
I was hoping some great takes of interviewed people breaking very badly, but that seems to be higly classified material... and probaby it's better that way 😂😍
The part about then and now was hilarious (even more so than the rest of these great scenes) and it's something I'd definitely imagine being said by Captain Jack Sparrow.
WE NEED CUNK ON SPACE
She did say she would love to interview Elon Musk when on Colbert recently...
Cunk on the Universe
There's a dead dog in space.
What about Cunk *In* Space
YESSSSS
The poor guy spelled Dostoyevsky like his life was on the line 😂😂😂😂😂
I always thought it was Dostoevsky, or at least that's been the accepted spelling in recent decades. Either way, "Cunk on Life" is vastly overselling "Crime and Punishment" 😂
He is utterly adorable I need more of him in my life
It's easy - Достоевский
4:00 "I'm sorry to hear about Paul" should be the anthem of all the people interviewed
He needs a holiday
He needs his own series.
That part about Sonic the Hedgehog is actually very profound
The universe told you to type that
And told me to type that about that
And this, and that last bit, and this
And that last bit, and this
And this

Her reaction to "well, there'll be a Russian spelling" of Dostoyevsky is award-worthy: "Oh, for fff…"
I see you chose the spelling with two Ys
please please please give us behind the scenes with Diane and Brian Cox just hanging out. You know he gets the joke and probably is a fan too. Please!
The physicist or the actor?

@@cdeaker His work with Robin Ince has prepared him for almost any stupid question.
@@cdeaker bollocks. He’s met Diane so many times he knows how to play the game and go along and make it even funnier. They both work for the BBC.
I want a Cunk on Space/Universe to happen. I can imagine Philomena Cunk interview NASA experts or astronauts as well as some space related puns lol
Philomena and Neil Degrasse Tyson 😂❤
she said she would like to interview Musk so... fingers crossed
I would pay such good money to see the bloopers of these interviews.
She can't bloop
There are some actual good questions in there.😂
Yeah - but really difficult to answer, and she KNOWS that! 😂
2:37 bro looks terrified speaking out those letters 😂
He's always like that. He should do stand-up talking in that exact voice with those mannerisms
Bro always sounds absolutely terrified when he speaks. He looks like he's going to deflate like a balloon on his chair
Just to think this was released only a few years after the release of unrelated belgian techno anthem Pump up the Jam.
This comment made me laugh harder than anything in the video. High praise! 😂👏👏👏
“No, don’t want the ‘E’” 😂
Too much love is barely enough for our Diane.
When the interviewee was spelling "Dostoyevsky", she should have interrupted him with a "Why not?" every time he got to a "y", and then said "Oh, sorry, I lost count. Could you start again?" 😂
👍🏼 I was expecting it.
She made him suffer enough with the Dostoyevsky spelling.
She’s hilarious… I don’t know how those people can keep a straight face!😂

She said its 95% her real self and she is not very knowledgeable in the first place. I'm not sure how much I believe that though.
So glad you said that. Now I realised that there are two of them
@@wordreet Multiple Personalties are always the best artists ;-)
Cunk tried to dunk on Ed Sheeran but the other guy just destroys him without a glimmer of emotion
1:11 Philomena just solved free will lol.
Bloopers! Now we need bloopers 🙌
She's brilliant! If only I didn't know so many people who sound like this without trying....
Like me, you must live in Floriduh, where, like Texas, we grow 'em bigger and dumber, by design!
“My mate Paul…” as answer to every type of situation 🤣🤣
How are they maintaining straight faces?! Hilarious stuff.
I really need to meet her mate Paul. Sounds like a proper guy.
Never. He must continue to exist in our imagination
He's trapped in a chip shop
0:14 clearly the expert hasn't played Persona 3...
I would like more deleted scenes please, and perhaps some outtakes with the interviewees losing it!
Or indeed the interviewer loosing it; Surely she must collapse into uncontrollable laughter sometimes?!
I'm really hoping they do a Cunk on Nature. I would love to see her interviewing people about animal behavior.
1:11 This one is absolute genius.
Diane almost cracked at the end of her Ed Sheeran banter 😂
you can see how bloody clever she is when she can follow and ask the dumb question about is the buddhist clock now or then. She completely understood it and didn't lose track.
She’s so freaking hilarious!
The ladder being held sideways bit absolutely sent me.
"I'm sorry to hear about Paul."
Paul has quite a life
I loved the show, thank you
Omg I howled within the first minute! 😅🤣
I am liking these a lot more than what was left in 😂
She is phenomenal.
Sonic the hedgehog one is utterly serious and profound.
Just yelling "One" after Dostoy is the funniest!
More brilliant than gold. Just, an absolute chef’s kiss ✨✨✨✨
Cunk is the epitome of existentialism.
"It would be, it would be, mate" Such sass 😂
She never disappoints😂😂😂😂
She is absolutely brilliant 😂😂
Release all clips like this!! Do Cunk on Canada!! We’re Britishish by proxy aren’t we?
😂❤
We need her mate Paul to be featured 😄😄😄
He was last seen, down at the Pub, with his Mate, Barry Shitpeas.
And her aunt Carol 😂
@@melissadelphenglish7206 🤣
epic. please keep going. if there's more to dig up, dig it up
If I were still a student IRL, I would make it my life's mission to make the guy at 3:30 laugh.
THESE ARE GOLD WHATTT
a ladder being held sideways??😂😂😂😂
a giant on stilts with a top hat😂😂😂😂
PAUL NEEDS A SHOW!!!
She’s my spirit animal
Cute as a kitten and smart as a fox!
Oh my god, old mate Paul is a loose unit !
Ask a dog what time it is, it'll tell you " NOW!!!"💗🐺
those are some brilliant questions!
I love Philomena Cunk, but when I watch it I feel so sorry for those extremely good and kind people who try to be patient and not rude to Diane. I think that TV show is one of the most hilarious acts of cruelty in the history of mankind 😂
@cry
All the experts are fully aware of what’s going on. They know that she’s playing a character and that it’s all done for jokes.
@lukebarton5075 Do you mean they're like acting aswell? 😯 Because they are crazy good then! 😃
I'm British but live in the US. Diane was on Stephen Colbert's show and he asked her who she'd most like to interview in character as Cunk. Without missing a beat she said "Elon Musk". Now THAT is an interview we all want to see!
Brilliant 🎉
Cunk reminds me of many politicians! 😂
I wish they would make enough episodes of Cunk on anything so I could watch one every night until I die! 🤣
…”it thinks, my bum is itchy” 🤣😭
2:50 - spaceballs moment
I was hoping some great takes of interviewed people breaking very badly, but that seems to be higly classified material... and probaby it's better that way 😂😍
Love this show and love Diane
The part about then and now was hilarious (even more so than the rest of these great scenes) and it's something I'd definitely imagine being said by Captain Jack Sparrow.
CRYING!! 🤣🤣🤣
More of hard hitting question 🤣🤣🤣
oh man we lost some my mate paul clips! thank god this exists
"Do you ever wonder why you never wonder about the things you never wonder about?" - Dusty Yetski. Cheeky bahstahd.
Paul starring in the world's shortest Cronenberg film, Legphone.
I never knew Paul had a job I just thought it was something Diane made up on the spot in front of Brian Cox but the lore existed it was just cut
Skin pockets 🤣 occasionally even Cunk goes off the rails.
I laughed so hard at this I woke up my family 😂
We need more Cunk.
I love this! 😁🤣 I hope you'll upload some bts clips with all the experts 😁
Her questions are actually very on topic lol
Five to now 😊
NOT THE TALL THOUGHT QUESTION 💀💀💀
I'm starting to fall in love the Philomenà
I would have used these scenes ❤
I feel like Diane Morgan's reaction to the Sonic the Hedgehog Universe reply was authentic.
"My mate Paul"
Paul's job could be straight out of one of Diane's Mandy sketches lol
As an Indian I think I'm so fortunate that I learnt English so sometime in the future I could watch this
As a professor, my academic dream is to get interviewed by Philomena Cunk.
Guys, Paul here. I thought a lot about a sideways ladder, and my head is now wide, like Stewie Griffin. HELP
Never knew itchy bums can be an existential philosophical discussion.
That's NUMBERWANG!
I really want to work with Paul catching tennis balls
When I accidentally listen to Ed Sheeran, death doesn't seem so bad...🤣
The documentary was amazing, just listening to the interviewees being completely baffled by the words they're hearing.
This was off the back of a BFI interview early last week with the cast and crew ...
This is better than some of the weak skits that made the final edit.
WE. NEED. THE. OUTTAKES.
There needs to be a series called "My mate Paul"
The most intelligent conversations published on the interner these days. Genuinely.
3:40 I love her mate Paul
it IS a great alternative to Eddies music she's so right
If it's Then, Now, it'll be Now Then! I think?
we need 'my mate Paul ' t shirts
