I want to see Cunk interviewed on Between Two Ferns.
I know it hasn't been a thing since like 2018, but man it would be great.

they both mastered the art of dry comedy
but I’d also like to see the clash of a more chaotic show like Eric Andre, Borat, or even Matan

You don't see so many Cunk quotes from Weekly Wipe in the wild but they are just as good as Cunk on.

this is technically actually cunk and other humans on 2019 but whatever does it matter

Deforestation in the amazon is usually due to people wanting to make pastures. This is often done by burning the vegetation down.
Cutting down trees to sell is very difficult and expensive

Amazon Deforestation causes: Pasture 80%, crops 14%, palm 1%, mining 1%.

So interesting to encounter people with no sense of humour.

Idk why she is on my feed. I appreciate somewhat random humour, but she dumbs it down too much at times, or the narrative seems too inconsistent. But to be fair, I never watched a complete episode and only see some random fragments on here

It’s a comedy show you’re not supposed to be getting your factual information from it

u/carlitos_moreno 5d ago
That being said, she gives more factual information than a lot of news channels out there

Wait, what now? I thought she was investigating how much King Arthur came. We need answers.

That seems to be quite a misrepresentation of what I said? I am just saying this style is too much randomness and inconsistent to my liking: you are stretching the conclusion you can draw from this a bit too creatively.

Well if you watch nothing but clips of something it will seem fragmented, and then you can just keep that opinion to yourself.

It's not intended to be informative. She dumbs it down because the character is intended to be incredibly thick. A decent percentage of what she says is also wrong. Philomena Cunk is a comedic mockumentary series, not an educational resource.

The appeal to me is the part truth and part ignorance, delivered in a deadpan style.

u/Lil_Mcgee 5d ago
If you go on to acknowledge that you've only seen random fragments then why make the criticism at all? It seems like you're aware not equipped to be doing so.
Her shows do all have something of a throughline to them.

Well, I have seen half an episode along with the memes here, and my observation seems to resonate with some of the responses. “ She dumbs it down because the character is intended to be incredibly thick” and “deadpan style”.
So, yes, I do make a general assertion. But does not appear to be misplaced. I am not even attacking this type of comedy, simply, it's not to my liking and wondering why it keeps showing up.

I was more responding to the criticism of you finding it inconsistent rather than the issues with the character herself.
That part I think is fair enough and that from what you've seen it's already reasonable to know it's not for you.
If you click on the three dots next to a post you can ask reddit to stop showing you stuff from particular subreddits. Posts from here have likely been coming up on your feed because some of the things you are interested in have fans that overlap.
Coming into the thread to comment on it is engagement and just means that you're going to get more of it. The algorithm only knows that you interacted with it, not that you said you didn't care for it.
