The self control that historian has is really bordering on a superpower. I would have died laughing on the spot. No idea how she held it together just blinking slowly. 😂😂😂
@ChillToMusic87 Nah, I would never say that. She is British. She has a sense of humor and a wickedly dry one if she is a common Brit. In case she isnt, well, then her sense of humor can be even more interesting.
I don't know how there could be anyone in the UK who doesn't know who philomena cunk is. I guess she's got too much going on, spends too much time in her books to know. Good on her, but she knows now.
Apparently she does ask “normal” questions and they are mixed in with the ridiculous ones, so they are more caught off guard despite them being in on the joke!
That spontaneous 'blink' of an eye in response to that outrageous question by Lady Cunk hinted what a heartfelt laughter she's gonna have once she's done with the interview and reaches her home and when she's all by herself!😅😂
To the woman being interviewed - you did so well and we all love this! 😂 perfect response and representation of your field but also absolutely hilarious somehow ❤❤❤
I really wonder how they managed to interview these historians this way with making it all look so natural. Brilliant work by the Cunk and team! And the historians!!!
Years of education was rushing through her head when she closed her eyes at that
❤
He wasn't real, he was a character in welsh poetry and a product of Welsh mythos and English folklore.
You don't need an education for fiction.
@@The-Spanish-Inquisition490You need to know the mythology
@@The-Spanish-Inquisition490it’s not!
Wait until you find out she’s a part of the script.
She swallowed her entire PhD to answer that question
Doing my PhD in history now and interviews with Philomena are the only job prospects for this field....
😂😂😂
The two gaps forced upon her were so candid causing her to shut her eyes.
You stole this comment, word for word from the original clip 😂😂😂
Yes she did😅😂
She swallowed her soul before she answered😂
“She swallowed…” hehe
About a tablespoon
I've come to hate these types of comments. Trying to be cute and clever... gay
Definitely Came a lot. 💯🤷🏻♂️😂
Thou shalt not mention "swallow" anywhere near "Camelot."
The part after she says “…about a tablespoon…”
She was in complete disbelief 😭😭😭
She wondered if that is an actual measurement unit, a “tablespoon” portion of Camelot 😂
That part is so drop-dead funny. Honestly I would have died if I had been in the professor's shoes. Absolutely savage!!
👋🏾🤣 The best part about this show is watching these professionals legitimately try to answer her bananas questions! hahahahhaha
Thats because people will do anything to be on TV...thats here point..thats why this works.
So British lol
Hahaha we have birth to comedy
Wait, is this actually real? I thought it was staged😂
@@Ing_Failureno, they think it's a real interview since it's BBC
The self control that historian has is really bordering on a superpower. I would have died laughing on the spot. No idea how she held it together just blinking slowly. 😂😂😂
Due to a lack of a sense of humour 🤷🏼♂️
@ChillToMusic87 Nah, I would never say that. She is British. She has a sense of humor and a wickedly dry one if she is a common Brit. In case she isnt, well, then her sense of humor can be even more interesting.
@@ChillToMusic87you could clearly see the laughter in her eyes. She was just super self controlled. Respect to her
@@ChillToMusic87she was about to crack up what you on about 😂😂

Skits are so much funnier when one person doesn’t know they’re in one
They know, but they don't know what she is going to say and are told to play it straight
@@tmarrittsure but many of them have broken before
She literally does though, surely you’re not that gullible?
Apparently she does ask “normal” questions and they are mixed in with the ridiculous ones, so they are more caught off guard despite them being in on the joke!
@@Burner39Not all of them know.
That *blink - everything 🎉😂😂😂😂
In that moment she is silently cursing the name of the colleague or grad student intern who arranged the BBC interview that she excitedly agreed to.
@@Martinroadsguy she is questioning every life decision which led her to this moment.
"Right...so probably not"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
… probably not
She did amazingly well holding a straight face, well done that lady ❤
As an American I love British humor the most ❤
Watched this a dozen times!! Absolutely hysterical!!!! So nuanced!!!! 😂
The face she pulled when Cunk said “But do we know if he came a lot?” Screams help
that 1 whole sec of a shut eye she needed lmao
She must have been dying inside when she said that!! 😂😂
HUUuge respect for her for keeping it professional and not burst laughing or mocking. I would have failed so badly.
You can see she had a seizure just listening to that 😂😂😂
I absolutely love that she thought of the most pertinent fact to form sn answer. True scholar right there!
As First Lord of the Admiralty, he would have had lots of seamen.
Come, come now.
Underrated comment
That woman was mortified!
The face!!😂😂😂
Definitely one of my favorite interviews ever. So profoundly thought provoking 😮😂
That spontaneous 'blink' of an eye in response to that outrageous question by Lady Cunk hinted what a heartfelt laughter she's gonna have once she's done with the interview and reaches her home and when she's all by herself!😅😂
She had to restart her system before answering that lmao
that lower-case "probably not" 😭😭🤣🤣🤣
Tablespoon as reference. I almost fell off the chair.😂
The resignation and agreement at the end 😂😂😂
That lady is an absolute legend for keeping it together
She has full control of her laughter like a master 😊
just when you thought the joke had reached its peak, there came "so, probably not" ... I'm dying LOL
Glad someone is getting to the bottom of the real questions in life. I salute you.
To the woman being interviewed - you did so well and we all love this! 😂 perfect response and representation of your field but also absolutely hilarious somehow ❤❤❤
""the only evidence in that regard " very legitimate
I love how she tries to smile at the end
😂❤
She never fails to bring a smile to my face.
That ladies and gentlemen is professionalism at its peak!😂😂😂
She got me 😂 and all the comments as well 😂. Great job guys ❤
3 mins of videoclip that justified 9 yrs of english lessons, thanks so much philomena!
This is hilariously brilliant!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
British humour at its best. Despite all the negativity in the media and politics, there is nowhere better. Long live The King.
one of my favourites. How can they stay serious? 😂
This is like when we watched SBC back in the days. Great content.
It takes lots of practice to keep your face straight answering something like this😂😂😂😂. I choked immediately after listening to this first time😂😂😂😂
amazingly funny! 🎉🎉😂 thanks BBC 🙏🏻
I really wonder how they managed to interview these historians this way with making it all look so natural. Brilliant work by the Cunk and team! And the historians!!!
We need a season 2 of philomena cunk.!! 😭
The straight face and the response 😂😂🤣🤣😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣
The facial control 😂 I can't!
The look of shock on her face and then she calmly responded. She was graceful
This comedian is hilarious! 😂😂😂
The historian lady is very professional. You don’t laugh at questions, they are all valid.
She came around that nicely….😂😂
I think she swallowed her pride, dignity, and her years of education when she closed her eyes and answered the question.
The shock when she tried to answer whether he did in fact come... a lot... she was so flabberghasted 😂😂😂😂
We know she was at least once in a classroom as the teacher. 😅
The control of both are crazy!!! How do none of them break down midways!
I love this kind of humor, it's very funny to see people baffled by an awkward statement and their response to it. Lol😂
I love her humor. Genuinely a good actress and funny.
I don't know which superpower this lady had not to burst laughing
Probably not!😂 Great punchline.
The struggle she was going on to hold her laugh.
You can literally SEE the physical pain in her face when the question is posed.😂😂😂
Props to her for being able to think straight and keeping a straight face
I was so confused hahahahahaha
The blinking 😂
How did she even control her laughter to that question? 😂😂
LOL!!! SHE IS the king of comedy❤😂😂❤
She was ao unsure of how to answer that and though she had no hopes, she tried her best. These clips brighteny existence.
Cannot frickin breathe here....😂😂😂
The Way The woman closes her eyes is priceless 😅
I watched it probably 100 times and it gets me every time.
Years of silence in the library helped these people get through this difficult time
This never gets old 😂. I roll on the floor laughing every time. Kudos to the historian whose only recourse was to blink 👏🏼
Same here. The lady is fantastic.
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
Why would she even answer that 😂
The way she just closed her eyes for a mkment there before answering the question, i think to calm herself😂
You kill me 😂😂
😅😂 good job very funny 😆
At the end when she invites you to join I found myself saying out loud “No”😂
“So probably not” 😂
She used all the energy of the infinite multiverse to hold back her smile
Imagine how excited she was when she got told that BBC wants to interview her
The “but do we know if he came a lot” took me out 😂
She lost 2 years of life not laughing that one 😂
Ohh god you made me spit water on my bed in this winter 😂😂😂
This guest had the best reaction 😂
'But do we know if he came a lot?' had me wheezing
😂😂 Wordplay isnt for everyone 😂😂
Camelot.
Had me dying 😂
My god still hilarious after all these years 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is sooo good!
Cunk leaves all specialists and subject matter experts, speechless, without exception 😂
She wanted to laugh 😂
who starts a conversation like that 😂😂😂
Her face when she was thinking about him coming 🤣
a table spoon? wtf are u saying😂
Cannot stop laughing ... is this Monty Python ???
heritage
It's like the Ali G show but in 2010's
Bro there's no way nobody laughs at this the first time they hear it, I wanna see the bloopers! 😂
I almost came a lot laughing. 😂😂😂
The blond girl like ...ohh i study for nothing..😂
Best way to start the day this morning 😂
Tablespoon!? Im out here filling shot glasses.
This woman is a menace 😂😂😂😂😂
