I don't usually laugh out loud a lot when watching a comedy alone, but I did watching it last night. When she starts the interviews with "Who are you?" gets me every time.
She was created as a female counterpart to Barry Shitpeas. Barry, incidentally, was played by Al Campbell, who was the director of the show. Screenwipe is a great series. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIyg2a72uV4
Yep. Anything Charlie Brooker has touched is gold. Possibly with the exception of Dead Set, couldn't really float my boat. But, Newswire, Gameswipe, How TV ruined your life, Nathan Barley, Brass Eye - just head off to the wiki FFS.
I remember when Viacom made a fuss about Colbert playing Colbert, and it seemed at the time like he wasn't going to take Viacom seriously, but that was pretty much the end of it.
Cats are one of the most loved assholes of the Animal Kingdom, much like the anticipated cut of the award winning film, based on the mediocre musical, Cats.
I've heard that they're all aware of what's going on to some degree (at least I hope so). Brian Cox had been "interviewed" by her previously, so I think he's in on it. ... I hope.
Its you bad such persona’s only work for a while, like sascha baron cohen. I would love to see her take the piss with musk, that would certainly be awesome. That would now never happen tho… might have in the first series, so yah, that was a perfect answer. Ask him about his rokkit
Absurdist repetition is my favorite. This joke cracks me up in the EXACT same way as jokes back in nineteen ninety eight when the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.
Holy crap, I did not know this song got milli vanilli'd. I did not know it was belgian. Shit, they even later took Ya Kid K out of the credits in the booklet for the album. Wtffffffff
I'm afraid the jam popped a quite a few years ago from excessive pumping. Any further pumping of the jam merely results in a whoopie-cushion-like expression of flatulent noise.
Listen, the full instructions were on the liner notes for the album. You're supposed to deflate the jam every night and Fold It Up neatly and put it away then when the club opens the following night, you pump the jam up again
Weird? Not at all. You have a “bimbo” fetish. It’s extremely common. For the longest time it was the dominant depiction of attraction women in popular media. I’m guessing you’re older and grew up consuming said media.
I grew up in the days of bimbos and want interested in them. Cunk is no bimbo. She has intelligence but with a very patchy knowledge base and ALL the confidence.
Oh I never said Cunk was a bimbo. I said that guy interprets the Cunk character as “a dumb woman” that he’s “attracted to” her, and I (correctly) pointed out that is definitionally a bimbo kink. In fact, I said nothing about Cunk.
He said he finds her attractive, you said it's because he has a bimbo fetish. You _should_ have mentioned Cunk if you _weren't_ trying to imply the character is a bimbo...

I wonder how a Cunk / Dennis Pennis joint taskforce would play out

Think before the 2 actual series it was piecemeal appearances in a Brooker series.

There's a certain kind of talent in being able to say and ask absolutely ridiculous things as though entirely earnest about it.

I would live for her and Sir David Attenborough to do a documentary together. Maybe about the assholes of the animal world.

I would expect her to bring Cats (2019) up as her initial touchstone for the discussion.

Cunk: "Am I wasting your time?" Cox: "eh... yeah." Best part.

Itxs been thirty-six years. There's been no further instructions from Technotronic. Hate to say it, but it's time we deflated the jam.

I'm afraid the jam popped a quite a few years ago from excessive pumping. Any further pumping of the jam merely results in a whoopie-cushion-like expression of flatulent noise.

For a lot of us elder millenials the jam deflated with our knees.

Listen, the full instructions were on the liner notes for the album. You're supposed to deflate the jam every night and Fold It Up neatly and put it away then when the club opens the following night, you pump the jam up again
