This popped up just when I thought there was nothing to watch haha. Cunk on earth episode 3 has a lot about America and revolutions, was hoping you'd continue with the full episodes of cunk on earth :)
It's such a pleasure to watch an intelligent American enjoying British humour. I hope that doesn't sound patronising! Connor's a very clued-up guy.... for an American. Connor, you should check out Stewart Lee's take on Americans.
As an American I don’t understand what you mean by “clued up”? What we get British humor?? It’s humor anyone can pick up on. Even if you use some fancy words we can still get the jokes.
It's all hilarious! I love the guy's comeback though to bears don't have arms, they have legs. Yes, but when they stand up, they have arms. Yeah, too bad about some of the edits. I wanted to know what she was going to say next on some of them.
I would LOVE to see Cunk on Shakespear! It's the subject she most hates. The sheer lengths she would go to to change the subject and the total research failures would eclipse even her Pump Up the Jam fillers. Bring it on!
What they did in Boston was add cold salt water with no milk (sugar optional). So as Tea Parties go fishy tasting cold Tea is understandably not the answer. So when our fine American cousins try another UK Empire beverage called Coffee with warm fresh water it was understandable they were going to enjoy that more. As for the right to bare arms wore my short sleave shirt last week because it was a warm day so I see no problem.
If you search ‘weekly wipe’ that’s the show she first appears. She does reviews on what’s happened with another character (Brian Shitpeas) in that week… hosted by Charly Brooker

Isn't "pavement" in US English only a name of one particular kind of material used for sidewalks? (I'm not a native speaker, it's just my impression :) )
@@neilgayleard3842 this is funny thing in post-communistic countries, we often had just kind of product and it was often called by the brand name, so when new brands were introduced to our market (after 1989), some of the kinds of products are still called by the old brand name - which continues to exist as well. (It has to be very frustrating for marketing teams of those brands :D )
Diane Morgan was on "Have I Got News For You" not long ago... And it was a pleasure watching it, she was a natural... Proper little starlet is Miss M! :)
She's called Diane Morgan and was born in my home town, Bolton, Greater Manchester. The first time I saw her on tv I knew the accent and looked her up. 😂 She sometimes gets words mixed up or says them wrong, this she picked up from older Boltonians who used to work in the textile mills and would lip read and contort their faces trying to be heard over the noise of the textile machinery 😂.

No she didn’t. She invented frequency hopping, so that radio-controlled torpedoes could randomise their frequencies and therefore avoid being jammed. It’s not the same as “inventing wifi”. Maybe you’re confusing it with packet switching. And before somebody says that radio signals don’t travel under water, well that solution is classified. Probably. 😊
We still "can't be asked". That's why we import our south of the border friends. Also, just to be fair, the native Americans gave us syphilis and tobacco.

If you get her style of humour, she is a laugh riot. Comedy genius.
Absolutely right.
4:18 but Americans back then weren’t the humble unassuming people they still aren’t today. 😂😂😂
Diane Morgan deserves all the awards. I absolutely adored her sitcom ‘Mandy’- random as fuck and incredibly funny!
Yeah, Mandy is hilarious 😂
Really? I call it humour for stupid people.
Shes great in After Life too!

I love how the historians manage to stay so serious during these interviews 😂
Brian Klaas deserves an award for his deadpan reactions.
What award?
@willis The award for best deadpan reaction to a comedy series starring Diane Morgan. Do keep up!
He understood the assignment perfectly
I’m American and I absolutely love her!
@5:25 That’s Brian Klaas. He does have his own show, a podcast “Power Corrupts” which is well worth a listen.
I don’t do this often, especially with Americans, but the dude with the bear arms gets my stamp of approval, I’d have a pint with him 🤣

Connor, you should check out Stewart Lee's take on Americans.
So, he's elevated to Intelligent, because he understands and enjoys British Humour? Does that make our whole nation Soooper Brilliant?
As an American I don’t understand what you mean by “clued up”? What we get British humor?? It’s humor anyone can pick up on. Even if you use some fancy words we can still get the jokes.
Fact is that most Americans doesn’t understand things like sarcasm or irony.

The American being interviewed was awesome. Great guy.
The person that wrote the 'Planes just work on belief.' line was definitely a warhammer 40k fan.

Great video Connor, thank you🎉
By the way, I've never heard an American refer to a pavement as such, only as a sidewalk.
to Americans, pavement is the road, not the pedestrian part.
We call a road a road here in the UK
Americans get everything backwards and arse over tit. 😆
@@andyb7963 its just spelt highway.
Perhaps those Cities do, that have a large percentage of Brit immigrants, like New York ?
Just a friendly reminder, I don't think you added this video to the playlist. I'm loving it and hope you do more.

I can just imagine a British agent watching the Boston Tea party thinking, that's not how you make a cup of Tea the water has to be boiling.
@@nealgrimes4382 Absolutely. :)
“Straight, white supergroup known as the Founding Fathers”, seems to have been missed by all the guys doing reactions.
Philomena's downer on theatre is explored more fully in the 30m episode Cunk on Shakespeare
Oh man I absolutely loved this show.

Al Campbell who plays Barry Shitpeas is the director of most of Charlie Brooker’s series of wipes. He’s directed lots of top comedy shows.
I always believed that pavement in UK refers to the footpath, i.e. the US sidewalk, whereas in the US it generally applies to the road surface.
I always thought the sidewalk was the wooden platform around buildings like you see in cowboy films.
Yet the construction industry refuses to recognize either term and insists on erecting 10's of thousands of signs reading 'Footway closed' dispite not a single uttering of the word amongst the British civilian population in it's entire history other than to chastise the signs.
Here in the UK the sign says footpath closed or in the case of a road it's road closed 🥴
@@SirReginaldBlomfield1234 No, it says footway closed in the UK
Nope in the UK we have pavements running along sides of the roads and paths running through our parks etc.

I like history and enjoy a good documentary but Philomena Cunk is wonderfully hilarious. My only worry is that some people will take her seriously!
Hey Connor if you could, try to find Diane Morgan’s “Mandy”. it’s a short series of her acting in a different character show and is hilarious.
That guy you like probably. Went to school in Oxford Cambridge. Understood taking the piss 😂 you have to run with it
Isn't "pavement" in US English only a name of one particular kind of material used for sidewalks? (I'm not a native speaker, it's just my impression :) )
i guess we use it as a term to describe any concrete surface once it dries
In Britain we call the road tarmac. Because it's a brand name for the type of bitumen used..

That idea that things run on belief was done in a 2000 ad comic strip 30 years ago 🤗

You’re right. I live in Bolton and quite familiar with this accent 😂
" lip read and contort their faces". Les Dawson style?

@@SirReginaldBlomfield1234 Sure as eggs are eggs 🤣🤣🤣.
@@EdDueim That's the one 🤣🤣. Also Hylda Baker is another fine example of a Boltonian doing the same 🤣🤣.
"Pavement" comes from the Latin "pavimentum," meaning "hard surface".
We would say “I was walking along the pavement when I stepped off the kerb to cross the road” I’m sure you would change only sidewalk for pavement?
It might be better to find the full episodes out there as bad editing people are putting up can kill the humour.
These clips are mainly taken from Cunk on Earth
5:02 dude was like "You ain't outweirding me, bish"
She is fantastic.
The Brits say pavement meaning sidewalk. Americans use the word pavement for a street or road.
Whoever put these clips together messed up a bit with the editing.
Random but do they have parmos in America?
We don't even have them in the south West of the UK
@@gavinhall6040 yes but the south west doesn’t even have WiFi yet

Love her - so much 😂😅😂
Watch Cunk on whatever! On Britain,on Shakespeare,on Christmas,doesn' t matter! I m not an English native speaker,but I know Cunk by heart! 😂😂😂😂
Try "Brass Eye", and "The Day Today".
She is hilarious 😊
Philomena Cunk is always funny- Diane Morgan's other stuff is pretty good too.
Try 'Motherland' comedy series, very funny.
I have never heard an American say pavement, but I have heard them say sidewalk.
