Philomena Cunk being iconic

[@RummerChan]

Her comment about schooling being easier in Shakespeare's time because you didn't have to study Shakespeare will always be my favorite. 😂

[@glenchapman3899]

reminded me of the Blackadder episode where he met Shakespear. Kicks him the groin and as he walks away says, thats for all the future generations of school kids

[@womp3571]

​@@glenchapman3899 blackadder and philomena cunk, my two favourite shows that coildnt be a worse duo if combined

[@spiralingspiral72]

you know it's always good when she mentions her good friend Paul

[@DirectorOfS.H.I.E.L.D.]

who is her good friend Paul? I know her mate Paul, who threatened Jesus

[@rothschild821]

😃

[@Doomsquad99]

Paul reminds me of Ali G’s friend Dave.

[@super_best_clips_xoxo]

@@Doomsquad99 Philomena Cunk has a pretty heavy Ali G vibe in general. I dont mind it at all - the girl is hilarious

[@paulbeardsley4095]

I wish I was that Paul. But I'm not.

"What's the most political thing that's happened?" sends me to the moon that doesn't exist and back, the guy is completely lost. Amazing.

[@tritiumH3]

He's so lost that he loses the ability to put words together!

[@kevinramsey417]

Of course it was the most political thing to happen until the release of Belgian techno anthem Pump Up the Jam.

[@theviniso]

She has such a way with words.

[@markiliff]

Though TBF rendering Peston a gibbering wreck is entry level stuff

[@eekenny]

he can't even answer it and the next question "2nd most Political thing?" 🤣😂

[@soundseeker63]

Watching this woman literally makes my face hurt I'm giggling so much! She's brilliant, like an annoying 5 year old that always asks "why" but in adult form.

[@AuDHDarling]

As an adult with ADHD and autism, I find her infinitely relatable. I am deeply curious about my special interests, but trying to discuss those interests with other adults often just annoys or confuses them.

[@HigherQualityUploads]

But why though

[@trueaussie9230]

No matter how old we get we should NEVER stop asking "but why".

[@bringonthevelocirapture]

@@AuDHDarling Yeah, learning a bit first and practicing thinking about your questions before you ask them helps. Not entirely, but it helps
