PHILOMENA CUNK on Charity - REACTION!

[@GrilloTheFlightless]

Richard Curtis, the guy with the deep voice, was originally a co-writer of much of Roman Atkinsons live skits, Blackadder and Mr Bean. He also wrote the award-winning movies ‘Love Actually’ and ‘4 Weddings And A Funeral’.

[@chrisalldis3375]

I also think he wrote a lot with Ben Elton

[@petersvillage7447]

@@chrisalldis3375 Yeah, Blackadder for a start. He also wrote The Tall Guy, a film starring Emma Thompson and Jeff Goldblum and directed by Mel Smith, which nobody nobody nobody mentions these days, possibly because it wasn't terribly well-received. I remember it had a funny bit in it though.

The gold standard of Comic Relief skits is Ali G interviewing the Beckhams. Ali G's also the inspiration behind Philomena Cunk. The most consequential skit was James Cordon's, which then led to his carpool karaoke segment on The Late Show (Late Late Show?).

I grew up in the 70/80s. Somebody's mom was always making homemade treats for the whole class. No thought or consideration to allergies. And no problems! Would probably wipe out half of a classroom today in one fell swoop. Not to mention the flood of phone calls from furious moms because their kid had an unauthorized cookie on a Wednesday.

[@davebox588]

Worth considering that nut allergies were generally unknown, and anyone with them would likely have died, undiagnosed, at a very early age. Epipens were developed in the '80s, presumably for a public that had no need for them? (yes, being sarcastic).

There are doctors, desensitising, people with peanut allergies. They start off by giving them half a peanut, and then over a period of time, increasing them until the allergy disappears They’ve had positive results and it helps because a lot of foods contain peanuts that you wouldn’t expect

[@natmanprime4295]

great vid great reaction

[@irreverend_]

You're probably right about the prevalence of peanut allergy being a lack of exposure as children because people were warned a lot in the 79s, 80s and probably 90s about them being a choking hazard for young children. However when I was 17 a friend was supposed to be coming to my flat but she ended up in hospital after eating a Snickers, having suddenly developed an allergy to peanuts. So obviously that too can just happen, but yeah it's definitely a more common allergy today than it used to be

[@davebox588]

More common because nowadays far fewer people die of it?

[@blundershock]

She also made a show called "Mandy", funnily enough, keep an eye out for it, I'm certain you'll love it if you love Philomena Cunk.

If you have to eat peanuts as a child to avoid developing a peanut allergy, how did they work out you could eat them at all? "If a grown-up eats this, they die. Let's try feeding them to children instead!"

[@noxteryn]

Regarding the peanut thing, there have been studies showing that women who never eat peanuts during their pregnancies may have children who develop a peanut allergy.

The main reason why some people suffer from peanut allergies is because the affected people did not take the long established peanut allergy antidote, also known as "ice cold lager" 🍺🍺🍺 This is why children are affected more than adults, so parents, make sure your kids have an emergency can of lager whenever they eat peanuts 😜🤪🤣🤣🤣

[@rikmoran3963]

Many years ago I read an article that suggested that the rise in peanut allergies during the 1990s was down to the increased use of antibiotics on young children. Peanut allergies were pretty much not-existent in the 1970s and 80s. The theory was that the antibiotics changed the composition of the gut microbiome, which in turn would affect how your body deals with harmful bacteria and would also alter your immune system. I thought that the theory had just disappeared as I haven't heard anything about it for so many years, but having just done a bit of searching, it is currently a major area of study, as research has shown that children that receive antibiotics within their first 6 months are much more likely to suffer with allergies than those that don't. Hopefully, it could lead to something.

[@61shirley]

Peanuts allergies are also thought to derive from growing vaccines in peanut proteins. Lactose is also a medium use to grow vaccines.

[@davebox588]

Well done getting so much utter bollox into just two sentences.

Anytime I've heard of peanut allergy killing someone it's nearly always a kid but yeah when I grew up I'd never heard of it or of it affecting anyone.

Allergies are also less common in people who have worms. Reference: probably ABC Radio (Australia), the Health Report or the Science Show.

[@CommissionerSleer]

Exposing babies to peanuts might develop a resistence... or it will kill off any with fatal allergies. Either way, fewer people with an allergy to peanuts so win win :D Seriously though, I'm sure that's why it didn't used to be an issue and isn't much of one in the third world: people with fatal allergies rarely make it to adulthood. Also, it's morally fraught to experiment on exposing babies to potentially fatal things and I expect few if any parents would, off their own bats, keep a log of every ingredient in every little thing they feed their babies so it's hard to be sure which babies were exposed to peanuts and which weren't. So, a difficult topic to research no doubt.

I would maybe temper that peanut take with "might not". But yes, some food allergies have a higher chance of developing if your body isn't exposed to it. Doesn't apply to all food or all people, but also isn't exclusive to peanuts as far as I understand.
