Well, I think we've come out of this episode with Dame Cunk even more erudite once again. On that note, I hope you have a great weekend!
peut-être une perspective cynique ! have a great weAk end !
You may find the British archeology program 'Time Team' interesting. Most of the digs are in Britain, but there was a spitfire excavation in Wierre Effroy, an excavation of a Vampyr dugout bunker in Belgium, and a rebuild of a huge WW1 flamethrower.
Thank you, I'll look into it :)
Have you read up on the Private Tandy /Lance Corporal Hitler incident during WW1? Apparently a photograph appeared in London newspapers of Private Tandy carrying a wounded soldier at Ypres in 1914 was later portrayed on canvas in a painting by the Italian artist Fortunino Mantania glorifying the allied war effort. As the story goes, when British Prime Minister Chamberlin travelled to Germany in 1938 to engage Hitler in a last ditched effort to avoid another war in Europe, he was taken by the fürher to his new country retreat in Bavaria. There, Hitler showed Chamberlin his copy of the Mantania painting, commenting, "That's the man who nearly shot me."
I think this isn’t his first encounter, so he knows she will ask ridiculous things, but also that he will have the chance to give so real historical information in his answers
The nazis tried the radio trick in Norway too, but people listened to London instead and they banned privately owned radios altogether..
Nice one, Norwegians!
British AAA caused 70% of the damage in London during the Blitz. The government just wanted to be seen to be doing something in response to the Luftwaffe. Author Simon Webb comprehensively covers the subject.
Thanks for the insight!
C'est la guerre has always been my favourite French expression. A wartime phrase to accompany the traditional Gallic shrug.
That one is pretty badass!
And here i am, happy Friday everyone, this certainly ends the week on a happy note. Im still laughing about the friendly invasion 😊. We are closing in on another anniversary of d day, and that certainly was a different way to say it. She once again got me with the facial expressions, i nominate her to commentate our upcoming presidential debates 😂. As always thank you for the video and thoughtful commentary,
Thank you an I wish you a very nice weekend too!
Hi. Thanks for your comments. Humour is the best defense I know for.the lunacy of war.
Thankyou for your suggestion of Babylon Berlin, it is now on my watch list. Have a great weekend
My pleasure, have a nice weekend too!
Wow absolutely fantastic what an episode,your sense of humour is amazing my friend.
Loving the Charlie chaplain bashing,I'm a laurel n hardy fan myself.
I have a question for you,I read a book about the French foreign legion about a year ago,and it was fantastic what a fighting force,they played a game called buffalo,and cuckoo,just wondering if you've heard of this,and also will you be talking about the French foreign legion.
Thank you mate!
I'm not familiar with this book, but talking about the French Foreign Legion is part of my plans. Have you ever heard of the Battle of Camerone?
Thanks - I haven't laughed that hard (your "les Anglais ont debarque" comment) in a long time...
Pleasure's all mine!
When Billy Connolly was on Parkinson with Rod Hull and Emu, and he glanced across at them and said "That thing comes near me I'll break it's neck, and your arm" (or words to that effect) 🤣🤣🤣
Sounds like the only logical reaction 😅
some bombs whistle on the way down, then a second ofor so of silence before they explode,i have first hand experience of this phenomenal, unnerving,
Yes, it must be particularly unpleasant. Thanks for your comment, man
Does Cunk On Britain Inform, Educate or Entertain?
Yes!
The mud wrestling idea isn't as bad as it sounds. Big Daddy, Giant Haystacks, Rollerball Rocco, Mick McManus, Steven Regal ... The English have produced the best wrestlers in Europe by some margin.
Your face when she mentioned Brexit, that was cool!
Her talking about Greg Wallace making people eat porridge from Lidl, there is a very funny "it tastes as good but it costs less" stand up routine by Mickey Flanagan about the same show.
Here in Ireland, people felt a certain way about Winton Churchill and his erotic speeches and we didn't know Hitler might not be cool, so we couldn't really pick a side in war 2. Even in 2024, it's easy enough to meet English folks who think all of Ireland is part of the UK, uses British money and were very disloyal siding with the EU instead of the UK during Brexit negotiations.
Half the British would agree with you 😉
Haha thank you for this comment!
Asking Howard Goodall, composer of the Blackadder themes and countless comedy shows, about the music during the war is funny.
He composed the theme for season 3, if I'm not mistaken?
Fun fact. If you burn oyster shells they turn into quicklime. A powdery form of lime that if it comes into contact with your eyes, will permanently blind you. Are you familiar with the Sharpe TV series (with Sean Bean) and series of books set during the Peninsular campaign of the Napoleonic wars? Sharpe uses burned oyster shells/quicklime to blind French soldiers attacking a fort he's trying to defend.
I've never seen this series, and I had no idea that oysters could be used for military purposes. What I learn from this channel never ceases to amaze me, thank you so much!
22:51 I just looked up the meaning. That's hilarious, I have no idea how I've never heard of this before. It's very fitting that it came from the time of the Napoleonic era 😂
😂🙈😂
a little help please... my French is not good enough to give google sufficient info. I don't know what to search, but am very intrigued by this.
@@kosh6612 google "Les anglais ont débarqué" ;)
@@ToonStory-fh4gn merci.
And now war returns yet again to Europe. Silent enim leges inter arma, Cicero.
😔
Si vic pacem para bellum
Yes I've heard of that battle,it's one of the legions famous battles,I read it in that book I told you about,fantastic bravery,they fought the Mexicans to the finish,an they were heavily outnumbered,I can't believe what the Mexicans must of been thinking taking such heavy losses,they fourth till the death,even when they run out of ammunition,they charged they Mexicans.
And at the end they received the tributes of the Mexicans. A battle at the heart of the FFL's identity
Fantastic can you imagine being there,on any side.
Buffalo was a game played by the legion in pubs an bars,they would have their hands tied behind there backs ,and would charge at each other and but heads,the legion had to ban this game,as a lot of legion soldiers were getting seriously hurt or killed.
Cuckoo was played by two legion soldiers,they both had revolvers,they both hid in a dark room,an they could only fire one shot when the other shouted cuckoo,an they took turns doing this,the legion had to ban this game also,I'm shocked and amazed that they didn't ban it straight away,both games that is.
You know, you have to be a bit crazy to be a legionnaire, it's often guys who fail at it to start a new life from scratch because they've had a serious past, so it doesn't surprise me. The more we talk about it, the more I want to make a dedicated video haha
Yes I would love that.
It was the Poles who cracked enigma code tho
Yes, that's what I heard too thank you
The French had Remi and his folks as roommates so it was a little bit better I guess
Mate, I don't have the reference for that one?
@@ToonStory-fh4gn Remi is the rat from the Pixar movie Ratatouille, who became a chef in Paris.
Aaaaah ok sorry! At least Remi could cook for our poor poilus (french nickname for our trench soldiers) 😅 thank you!
The British have landed, thanks for making me look that up lol I'll have to say that to my wife next time, well you know
Your quest is noble, I wish you good luck!
What do you think of the announcement that French Republican guard will be protecting Buckingham Palace alongside the Scots (The Auld Alliance) for the 120th anniversary of the Entente Cordiale?
I think this is a dream opportunity to capture the King and finally raise the tricolour flag over Buckingham Palace!
@@ToonStory-fh4gnMaybe the French want a monarch again not sure what Al Murray would say.
One man's redcoat is another woman's buffer amplifier.
🙈
Les Anglais ont debarque......lol.
😅
Its wild that cunk is BBC :P no wonder britain is the way it is Lol
True 😅
Frenchie, I think you have cracked the code you beautiful mad genius. Your break down about WW1 is clearly the blueprint for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Kevin Feige is obviously obsessed with the Great War. That means that Marvel phase 6 will be based on the battles (many,many) of the Isonzo. So everyone look forward to a painful endless slog until phase 7.
Hitler, Trump, and Boris Johnson..all funny looking politicians with bad hair. Where is the French representative for this club? Oh... of course...Marine Le Pen. Pardonnez mon erreur.
I must disagree...Franz Ferdinand is a great name for a race horse. After all any racehorse is just one broken leg from getting an Archduke special. Sad but true 😉.
Pardon my french but F YOU, Marine.
Very well done on the Battle of Isonzo: the most profitable series in history. You take the same actors, the same sets, the same script, you barely change the dialogue and BOOOM you make 12 films. Thanks mate!
Defiantly misinformed and entertain 😅
Exactly 😅
I’m guessing your knowledge of history has been severely challenged since hearing Ms Cunks take on it.😂
I have to admit that my perception of history has been badly shaken by this series with Lady Cunk 😅
