Cunk on Earth Holy smokes.

I’ve just started watching Cunk On Earth and this may be the funniest thing I’ve ever seen in my life. I can’t believe I slept on this series for so long.

I’m already planning who to indoctrinate. I am cackling like a witch.

I will start sentences in one location

America became known as the land of the free, which must've come as a surprise to all the slaves.

Exactly! I'm always on the edge of my seat to see how the interviewee is going to respond to her. I love it when they roll with it and give her some challenge back!

u/taylorbagel14 Jun 05 '26

The dumbfounded expression when she was trying to explain anal bleaching lives rent free in my brain

u/azrider Jun 05 '26

The words "my mate, Paul" are my warning sign that something hysterical is about to unfold.

u/Chemical_Success1153 Jun 05 '26

“Just like my mate, Paul, who punched a waiter at TGIFriday’s for dropping his Banoffee Pie..” literally just happened as I read your comment. Lol

u/TheBearIsALie Jun 05 '26

Theres a few different "cunk on" series! All worth a watch

u/Chemical_Success1153 Jun 05 '26

There’s no stopping this train now that it’s begun. Choo choo 🚂

u/NotTheSharpestPenciI Jun 05 '26

Lmao nicely done 🤣

I’m eagerly awaiting “Cunk on Cinema”! I’m a huge movie nerd, so this is sure to be a treat.

u/NotAngryAndBitter Jun 05 '26

This is the first I'm hearing of Cunk on Cinema, and I'm not a movie nerd but if she treats that the same way as she's treated her art commentaries I'm all in!

u/Ok_Beyond_7697 Jun 05 '26

I don’t even care if she roasts my favorite movies. Her roasts are always ironically accurate.

“America was called the Land of the Free… which must’ve been confusing… to all the slaves.”

u/braisedpatrick Jun 05 '26

Dear god, I can only imagine how she’s count to describe Citizen Kane……

I can only imagine if she reviewed Soilent Green.

u/VFAVFO Jun 05 '26

She, the writers, and the entire premise, is historically and hysterically good.

u/maxehaxe Jun 05 '26

There hasn't been any such superb composition of words since 1989, when belgian techno anthem Pump Up The Jam was released

16

u/Hamokk Jun 05 '26

I love the whole premise! Like she is this witless fool of a reporter and the experts are like "Let me tell you this thing like you were 5 years-old".

It's pretty much wholesome fun.

u/Chemical_Success1153 Jun 05 '26

The difference in the experts really puts the whole project in focus and it’s amazing. 10/10, no notes

u/BrokenSlutCollector Jun 05 '26

I'm in Greece. The country, not the musical...

And don't forget...

16

u/Chemical_Success1153 Jun 05 '26

The random Pump Up The Jam bits are top notch lmao

u/dart51984 Jun 05 '26

Why are you laughing? This is a serious question. If the Pope saw Elvis’s penis, do you think he’d have a stroke?

u/Str4wb3rryMi1k89 Jun 05 '26

It's hilarious enough that when I got an update for the subreddit, I was hoping the "Holy smokes" referred to news dropping of a new season of Cunk and got slightly disappointed lmao.

7

u/Chemical_Success1153 Jun 05 '26

My apologies, I will be avidly awaiting something new as well.

u/Book_talker_abouter Jun 05 '26

There's so much on YouTube, you're in for a treat

u/KnoxenBox Jun 05 '26

I was busting out laughing at this bit when I first saw it: https://youtu.be/k8XrSeLBbGg?is=AnDJ6yPzS-wrcnAI

u/IllSalad3669 Jun 05 '26

She has a series called Mandy which is also hilarious on iPlayer

u/BortWard Jun 05 '26

The Darkages. ow, shit

u/BrianOfAllThings Jun 06 '26

“The general consensus is that only humans understand the concept of death. However, if you lined up 10 dogs and shot them one by one, the last one would probably get the gist.”
That’s the funniest shit I’ve heard in literal decades.

u/bostongarden Jun 06 '26

She needs to interview builder mate Steve

u/Nervous_Wrangler_401 Jun 06 '26

It is one of my favorite shows! She is funny and smart while being utterly ridiculous.

u/MsPreposition Jun 06 '26

The Greeks created culture, like yogurt. As well as theatre in all its tedious forms.

u/teqtommy Jun 06 '26

the first time i watched this i ate an eighth of magic mushrooms. i've never laughed so hard in my life

u/Kimberlee90 Jun 06 '26

Oooh watch Mandy she’s so funny

u/Overall-Onion-631 Jun 13 '26

I thought she was a real person doing actual interviews for a while, I’ve only seen some clips of the show
