    The one where she asks if King Arthur came a lot absolutely had me in stitches.

      Same here. The woman she’s talking to… that poor girl. You can see her, on multiple occasions, have to hold herself back from either laughing or just outright asking “Are you fucking stupid?!”

    I looked it up and apparently this ISN’T the actress from IT Crowd. However, even after IMDB confirmed it I’m having trouble believing they aren’t the same person.

      I’ve never realised that they even looked alike until now.

      She was on charlie brookers various wipes before she had her own show.

      She said something ridiculous which confused the expert. She then clarified that it meant something super benign which confused her even more.

      Here’s the clip.

      Cunk. She’s a comedians persona - imagine the stupidest, most clueless woman going around interviewing experts in their respective fields. She is asking the worst questions possible and stumps some of the most intelligent people through it. It’s hilarious, give her a try

          I don’t know that one so can’t say. There’s plenty of her on youtube though. One of the sketches she did, was read along with Cunk. She sat down, started reading it in silence, then took a phone call from a friend and complained that her employers made her read for some reason

    Nothing better to make me not watch a show than all of the internet people circle jerking obsessively over how funny it is.

    Not a single image or clip of this show has ever seemed funny to me. It’s the most forced humour I’ve ever seen in my life.

          If you know you don’t like it, why click on the post and make a comment? Is this not exactly the response you were hoping for? I’m guessing it is. Hopefully I have offered you the entertainment that the meme could not.

            Because people are allowed to have opposing opinions, believe it or not. Are you really suggesting that we only allow opinions that are not critical of the subject? Good luck living your like that.

          But it’s not an opinion. You’re judging a show based on images and saying you don’t like show because everyone else likes the show and keeps resharing those images.

          An opinion would be “I watched this show and it wasn’t that funny.”

      You’ve never watched so you wouldn’t know if it’s funny or not. Maybe you should try things for yourself before having an opinion on them. May even have fun once and a while.

        This take is ridiculous. I’m not allowed to have an opinion until I’ve watched the entire show? I’ve seen so many clips and screenshots of the show’s jokes, and I find them incredibly unfunny, which is my point.

        Some of you take things incredibly personally. Enjoy what you want to enjoy. None of you are the fucking victims here.

                They posted their very mild, harmless opinion on a public forum and it disagrees with you.

                “Aggressively” “announce” you’re unhinged.
