Guys I really wasn't sure if i was even going to upload this reaction and so didnt have great video quality and fooled around a bit too much lol sorry about that everyone 😅
Don't have to say you're sorry after giving us a 47' reaction to the iconic Philomena Cunk. We should be thankful. 🙈
Don't apologise, this was one of your best reactions 👍. You should be this way more often, it was entertaining and amusing to watch. P!ease react to full episodes of the Inbetweeners, loads of other have, you will love it. You have to watch the episodes in order though as it won't make sense otherwise. Keep the videos coming. Your genuine, honest and funny - that makes all the difference for us watching. 🇬🇧😍
You F F F Fooled Around and F F F Fell In Love.....easily done.
Elvin Bishop...
You have a lovely personality, the more you show it the better. You should never apologize for who you are.
will you react you police code zero that is the stuff that happens in the day and its so much worse than most things that happen in the night
The experts she interviews are fully aware of the nature of the show; it's not an Ali G type situation. The one with Professor Brian Cox is hilarious because he's proper playing along with it, but the show's creator is Charlie (Black Mirror) Brooker, and the experts reappear from series to series. In the UK, they're all regulars on various science and history shows, so to a UK viewer, it's much funnier because of the verisimilitude. The interviews are unplanned, though.
I know a very similar word to verisimilitude but forgotten what it is..
According to an interview with the Mirror, she starts off with very normal, sensible questions and then once she's 'lulled them into a false sense of security, I start pulling out the madder questions. Then it’s too late for them to leave.'
Yea jon, it's just this kid is a f/king nuisance.
Time stamp for Brian Cox please?
Verisimilitude? What do that mean?
"I used to be very anti religious. In high school Christopher Hitchens was like a God to me." I love that! :D
The Jesus episode is the best 😂😂 Mary gave birth on the floor… like a crackhead 😂😅❤
My favourite line from the Christmas one 🤣
"I'll give you breast cancer awareness" had me howling 😂😂
I think you're right. I think I'm falling in love with her too. There's a heap of actual facts amidst the deadpan jokes and strange questions. "Did Zeus approve of that?" I'm dying.
A brussel sprout is an entire cabbage-worth of green flavour condensed into a tiny ball of hate.
"Why am I falling in love with her?"
Dude, get in line... 😉
The original Lascaux caves in France are mainly closed to all but conservators and a faithful reproduction was made nearby which is probably where she filmed 👍🏴
Roads are constructed. Paths are formed by going over the same piece of land over and over again. Romans build roads. They dug a wide trench, filled it with stones and gravel, in specific layers, packing it tightly and then paved it all. Road is usually elevated just slightly from the surrounding ground.
I love that you are now doing a full video, not just reacting to the best of clips.
Watching you react makes it even better.
Edit: I'm pretty sure the Egyptians already used wheels.
He’s perhaps thinkin’ of the Incans.
Of course they did. Their chariots did not stand still on the ground. He is trying to learn though which is good. If the schools suck where you are born, and you still want to learn, that's impressive.
Regarding Egypt, depends on what you mean. Old Kingdom Egypt didn't have wheeled vehicles that have been discovered yet (they still had pottery wheels, I believe). But it makes sense. Have you ever tried to roll a wheel in a bunch of loose sand? It's more practical to have sleds until proper roads are built.
@@peterpike Great point. I was thinking, Egypt did have wheels but, as you point out, not in their earliest Dynasties, which is when they are talking about. Thanks for reminding me.
Yes, lol, the wheel was invented millions of years before that
"oh spunk means something different doesn't it" pmsl it's like you're joining in with philomena as a wing man to the idiocy 🤦🏻♀️😂
The experts were essentially aware of the joke unlike with Ali G, they were told to treat Philomena as if she was a child, they don’t know what the questions will be though
I've always been meaning to watch this show, I'm glad I chose to watch this with you. It made the whole experience a whole lot better. I definitely had fun and I enjoyed your commentary.
You need to resist the urge to interrupt every 10 seconds.
When the whitehouse was burned instead of painting it white they could have just added yellow stripes and had a Wasp house.
I thought white as easier cooling
The transition from all fours to standing up was a gradual process. Our monkey ancestors were veggies but when environmental changes made their diet more scarce they had to cover more territory and also started to eat meat which required the body to move in different ways to stalk prey. Eating meat also changed our physiology with guts becoming smaller and brain getting bigger which brought us closer to what we recognise today. Homo Erectus which literally means upright man was one of the earliest human species.
"People looked after each other". One of the funniest things a historian has said. She must be in on it.
FYI, Lycra is another name for Spandex
I don’t know who told you Egypt didn’t have the wheel but they did , they had things like chariots and wheels to spin pottery so they most definitely had wheels. Also Egyptians had hieroglyph’s which is a from of writing.
It's the Aztecs that didn't bother with using wheels. They tried making carts but there was always a tree in the way...
You are very much wrong sir ! The wheel as a mode of transport or war was unknown in the Nile valley and contributed to the first intermediate period of ancient Egyptian history where they were conquered by the Hyksos ( shepherd kings ) and the use of their chariots was what tipped the balance in their favour . This was approx 1600 bc , 400 years before Tutankhamen and Rameses the great . After they were conquered they took the lessons learnt from the victorious Hyksos chariot use and built up over a century their own improved chariot design AND more importantly they rustled enough horses , which were also unknown in Egypt till the Hyksos brought them , to breed enough stock to power their new super weapon . Approx 100 years after their initial defeat Pharaoh Ahmose and his mother led Egyptian forces to defeat and expel eventually the Hyksos from their capital in Avaris in the North Eastern Nike Delta and ultimately all the way back to the Levant and then to return in triumph to found the great XVIII Dynasty.
If in any doubt, we just need to check out photos of Tutankhamun's tomb! 😄
@@lad1981uk and if you read my previous comment , that’s why I gave the dates of the appearance of the wheel in ancient Egypt 🙀🏴
Early Egyptian Dynasties did NOT have wheels for chariots, they had sleds in those times. It was later that the famous chariot was part of the Egyptian war machine. He didn't say they didn't have writing, he was talking about other civilisations.
I like the guy with the white beard he seems to be very intelligent and considers every question respectfully. Peace out.
He is one of the world's leading expert on ancient Assyria, and clearly also a good sport for appearing on this.

So the kind of spa treatment Gwyneth Paltrow has on a weekly basis 🤣🤣🤣💀
She is brilliant 👏
@34:22 yes Cyrillic is an alphabet descended from Greek I think Latin is also though to some extent, which is why Cyrillic and Latin share quite a few characters. Some make different sounds simply due to the way different languages evolved over time.
I've been waiting for this
Absolutely awesome.
Glad you have a full episode a go. Those compilations just don’t do her justice
35:14 “Sing like no one is listening, love like you've never been hurt, dance like no one is watching, and live like it is heaven on earth.” Mark Twain
Diane is such a brilliant comic and presenter. She has also done a series, Cunk on Britain, which is just as hilarious.
"I know this is a comedy thing, but another good question!" - That means it's good comedy. It makes you think, even though it seems "stupid" ;)
You had me
there for a moment,good on ya Connor!❤😊
As the worlds leading hieroglyphics expert, I was skeptical when you said you knew hieroglyphics. You nailed every single one, great job.
yess was excited for this
25:30 "you could start with one giant column in the middle"
- and, where does THAT start from?!
Ancient Egypt used chariots widely in warfare, they definitely had wheels. Which civilisations didn’t have a writing system, it’s one of the key defining elements of a civilisation (you could have a culture without one but not a civilisation) - the only one I can think of is the Inca which is famous for being unusual
Old Kingdom Egypt, the first four dynasties did not have wheels for chariots, they came later.
@@somniumisdreamingso what did they use
@@lotussight haha rectangles which made the chariots hard to drive.
Connor, quit pushing the planet away from you. You're making me spill my tea.
I’m going to shock u! The interviewees were in on the joke! Dianne Morgan is a very famous comedy actress in the uk and was in the tv show afterlife so the British people (or anyone with Netflix would know her!) here’s the behind the scenes q&a filmed for the BFI! ruclips.net/video/uZ-5eOD57Ss/видео.html
Omg, I have wanted you to react to an entire episode ever since you first watched a highlights episode
Loved it ❤
Yes it was a real painting from a public brothel in Pompeii
👍🏴
And there are plenty more
@@ge_mig_nat_som_kannsNot Hollywood representations, the real thing!
Great video!
That was the Gordian knot that Alexander solved with his sword ⚔️ 😅
👍🏴
I just started watching this show yesterday and I'm already loving it 😂
Connor you ranting about past people not having writing systems is the same as future people moaning about flying cars while there's flying cars.
Hey kid! you were born without a writing system. Writing doesn't come pre-packed with holes!
I love how innocent you are or portray yourself to be haha :P
I wanted to watch this but I never got round to it, so thanks 😊 x
The show experts know who she is but they have no idea on the questions she is about to ask, they just give an honest answer
She's so funny! Good stuff.
The "leaf fort" sounds soooo cool!
Yes that’s true about wheels in ancient Egypt , it was only when the Hyksos or Shepherd Kings showed up in new fangled chariots and battered them then they came into contact with wheels for the first time , but they learned quickly and ejected them with their own chariots a century later .
👍😆
I'm very cynical sometimes and *very* skeptical, so when people try to go watch scary movies, or do stuff like this I'm like "booored". But when it comes to going to abandoned places (which I love), I love to go first, even without a lamp, but making people think the building or forest is actually cursed is WAY FUNNIER.
You're obviously a lunatic, Fentyface. Seek help, immediately.
@@blackbob3358 haha why?
Sorry but are you on about?
@@riririri100 I was probably commenting about something he mentioned on the video.
Definition of Spunk =
A. Semen (British slang)
B. Courage or spirit
e.g. "She has lots of spunk" - Usually they would be referring to definition B, but definition A could also be feasible! 🤭 -x-
Love the honesty - "I don't know what I'm talking about" - spot on.
My favourite Cunk line was from 'cunk on america' when she said 'america became known as the land of the free, which must've came as a surprise to all the slaves' 😂
I think its called comedy if the writer is not well known or acknowledged by many and tragedy if it's written by great and well know writers
From what I remember, the abacus does work in tens just like you said.
Er, we did invite fire ...Other instances happened by accident. Such as forest fires. We learned to control it.
I love this! Connor's slightly more intelligent than Philomena and slightly less self-aware. Hilarious. Great channel!
She is way more intelligent than the guy XD She is playing dumb buy you gotta b hella smart to come up with this stuff ;D I mean she has multiple shows on BBC
that i'm watching this reaction is officially a Miracle of God.
If you were paying attention you would have noticed she didn't say the GW of China was 'visible from Space'. She actually said "audible from space"
Alexander cutting the Gordian knot may be what inspired the scene in Indiana Jones and the Lost Ark where he simply sidesteps the problem of the scimitar wielding guy by shooting him.
A lot of the humor in Philomena's (Diane Morgan is the actress) presentation seems to have eluded you. Perhaps that's a matter of life experience and the kind of education you've had. And then, your ADHD probably distracted you from listening to parts of the video and missing the punch-line, such as your digression into the kind of vegetables you like and dislike, when Philomena was talking about how hunting vegetables was easier because they can't run away, even though it was still dangerous because of all the farm implements lying around. Or starting to name the busts of Greek philosophers, when Philomena named two of them, then said "and him (pointing at another) and the rest of them", indicating that she really wasn't very interested in them at all.
There is a lot of very subtle humor mixed in with the outlandish stuff. You just have to pay attention to recognize it.
This show cracked me up when I saw it the first time. Watching the reactions makes cry laugh even more!
Lmao the beginning where you want to time travel to kidnap a child for science really made me laugh 😂
The genius brain child of Charlie Brooker.
love Philomena!
Unless I'm much mistaken, "Dance like nobody's watching" is a reference to Zorba the Greek... certainly not Aristotle! ;)
Love your Hieroglyphics translation ;)
Would love to see you react to ep 2
Where exactly are the brussel sprouts growing on you?
I can see why someone might think Socrates may not have existed. He never wrote anything himself, and almost everything written about him was the work one man, Plato. But actually, we are as sure of his existence as we are of anyone else in his era. We know that lots of people who knew him personally wrote about him. And the work of three of those people still exists today. Not only Plato, but the historian Xenophon and the comic playwright Aristophenes also wrote about him, independently of each other. His life and career, and trial and execution all fit in perfectly to the history of 5thC Athens.
Spunk means sperm.
Technically human flesh has a sort of brand name ‘Soylent green’ or ‘ long pork’ but don’t quote me on that
Long pig, and "Soylent Green is us!" 🙂
13:50 The more pressing problem in the 21st century is people who are able to write but not think.
Five days in and we are still here. I just have to see if everyone laughs as hard as I do
I really enjoyed your responses on this video. MsCunk is fantastic isn’t she? Thanks heaps
I think Socrates was a real person. Homer (the poet not The Simpson) may have been a collection of poets not just one dude.
I like how you said you don’t like vegetables then listed multiple vegetables that you liked or even “loved.”
I liked your comments and the stories you tell from your life
You mean when did we become completely and solelybipedal? No one can be certain when man became completely bipedal. Evolutionary adaptation to the human pelvis and spine, to allow for bipedalism, began about 4 million years ago. Although among some hominids it started earlier.
I’m watching, it’s still up. And the reactions are as cunking good as the main show.
Drawing animals on stone walls, large rocks, and expansion of such "art" became pictures of hunting and explaining where and how, probablywhen too, started the form of communication via "Writing"
Carried on from there...
I love that you said you were anti religion and immediately followed up by describing Christopher Hitchens as a god. 😄
YOU STUDIED HYEROGLYPHICS AT OXFORD? I need a video of you talking about it and trying to read a few texts. 😍
I find this fact incredible. How on earth did this commentor manage the entrance exam?
It's going to be tricky if one cart starts heading west whilst another two metres away starts off heading east! How does that work out?
I believe all of the early Homonids had a body shape pretty much like ours. It was the brain size that changed, therefore the head is the most noticable difference. You need hands to make tools. You need tools to process meet. You need meat to increase brain size. Interestingly though it would appear that our thumb shape and size has changed, probably because of natural selection, those that could make better tools survived.
if americans don't get irony, they won't get cunk
You would probably have to take a human from at least around 300000+ years ago, in order for there to be a slight difference, since that is approximately when our species evolved to what it still is today. the human from that time would die, ofcourse, due to diseases in a few days/weeks, but if that weren't the case, then there wouldn't be any significant visible difference.
Creating a wriring system is ezpz I'm sure. What an ignorant way of looking at things. Ancient Egypt was very advanced for their time, they used hieroglyphics as a writing system yet we aren't able to fully transalte it, since it's a completely foreign writing system to anything alive today. The idea of writing or the wheel may be an easy concept to grasp today, but it's not innate in human nature, you have to learn it. As an English speaker try reading Cyrillic or Hindu and see how much you understand. The idea of bouyancy or inertia may also be obvious to us today, but we LEARN that in school, plus we're surrounded by it. If you can't read ancient egyptian scripture, maybe you're the ignorant one, thinking it's so easy.
Reading as a basic skill in the western hemisphere is not even 100 years old for god's sake... Reading used to be something you learned in university, which only the rich could pay for.
good points 👍
Lycra = spandex
You’ve got the memory of a Radio Shack home computer, Connor, also adorable. ❤️
Philomena a.k.a. Diane Morgan is a funny stand up comedienne too.
BTW, the experts know it is a comedy bit. But they don't know the questions or prepare their answers. They have (mostly) deleted the scenes where the broke up laughing.
Yes Connor. That’s why I feel The British Museum should keep many of the things they have. Or at least create copies in case the worst should happen if they gave them back
The British Museum is one of the very best places in the world!!
How about I take something from your house and refuse to give it back? You’re presumably ok with that.
@@craigedwards9188 a more apt metaphor would be to take something from your great nans house that she either didnt know was there or didnt care about, in the latter case often with her permission.
@@joealyjim3029 often without too, but either way her compliance isn't much of a factor beyond the formality.
@@MohammedAli-hl4mr more often than not in the case studies ive looked at things were given or taken with the explicit permission of the government of the time. Examples of things taken without explicit permission are normally things that were taken as ‘war bounty’ or a synonym of the same thing, which was quasi-legal.
You beat the RUclips copyright bots. Kudos Sir!
The principal form of transport in ancient Egypt was 'The Nile'.
As far as I know, an abacus will allow you to do calculations in any number base, not just base 10 decimal. Binary for instance.
31:01 I think the term you were looking for was 'a gentleman's, not only a stiff upper lip'
That is the funniest woman I've ever seen in my life. 😂🤣🤣🤣
22:45 that is so cool!
