[Her reaction to learning that nuclear weapons still exist is also great](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zabCBnUHLA). And probably the reaction we all would have if we weren’t so numb to it.
I watched this whole mockumentary and loved every fucking minute she acts like some alien dressed in a human skin suit with no knowledge of humanity or human history.
Unlike Sacha Baron Cohen’s Ali G/Borat schtick, Diane Morgan’s “Cunk” interviewees are in on the joke, but are coached to take her inane questions as seriously as possible and to not crack jokes of their own. A few times–like when Cunk asks an expert on Rome whether the Romans invented anal bleaching–you can see in their eyes a certain regret for having agreed to do this.
“Because no one had invented camouflage yet, the British troops of the time wore bright red coats and were consequently shot in their thousands, while looking amazing.”
I lost it when she kept asking an architect about whether her nephews Minecraft skills would transfer to designing buildings.
Then later she says ‘using state of the art computer modeling well try to find out what it looks like’ and then it cuts to a model of the thing made in Minecraft 😂
“Jesus’s followers went around the globe sharing his message of peace and understanding, and killed anyone who didn’t want to listen”. Sad, funny, and sort of true all in one sentence
You may not believe me when I say we’re in the ruins of the first human city ever. That’s because we’re not, that’s in Iraq, which is miles away and fucking dangerous.
The best part is knowing those are likely the actual captions.
Oh Philomena

No one can hold a straight face, when asking an immensely stupid question of an acknowledged expert, as well as Diane.
So Beethoven was addicted to ketamine ?

King Arthur came a lot
I wanna meet her mate Paul
PUMP UP THE JAM!
My favourite Cunk question ever…
“The large hadron collider. If I’m paying for it, can I ride in it”?
Pompeii also preserved glimpses of how sophisticated Roman life was, with creature comforts like indoor plumbing and cunnilingus
Cunk is great – her description of the “Titan 1-C” as a single-use submarine was comedy gold.
I don’t understand in the slightest. Can someone catch me up on this reel of confusion?
This show is fantastic. “I’m walking into a cave. Not because I’m lost or I’m a wolf, but because the producers have asked me to.”
“How did Egyptians build the pyramids? Did they start at the bottom and work their way up, or the top and work their way down?” Lololololol

My favorite quote:
“It seems that while John f’ing Kennedy worried about missiles in Cuba, he should have concerned himself with a rifle in Dallas.”
“Her neck’s very long. Was she part giraffe or could he not just do necks?” The man’s reaction was priceless. 😭😭😭😭😭😭
“Because no one had invented camouflage yet, the British troops of the time wore bright red coats and were consequently shot in their thousands, while looking amazing.”
Her line delivery is so good lmao.

School was much easier in Shakespeare’s day because they didn’t have to study Shakespeare.

“Which was more culturally significant – The Renaissance or Single Ladies by Beyoncé?”
