Cunk on Earth was definitely a highlight of my year. I wish Netflix would acquire some of her earlier work.

Cunk on Britain is on YouTube! Which isn't great for people looking to get paid for their work but works just fine for folks who want to watch something funny.

Philomena Cunk, the character played by Diane Morgan, first appeared in some of Charlie Brooker's programs about ten years ago. In things like the "Weekly Wipe" series and latterly "Death to 2020" and "Death to 2021" which I think are both on Netflix.

She plays a similar character on the "Death to" shows but it isn't Cunk.

I challenge you to spot the difference, but you are correct, the name in the caption is not "Cunk" in the "Death to" shows.

Cats really are the best. Monkeys of all sorts are a very close second.

Minor note from a fellow Taskmaster fan: Greg Davies is Welsh, not English. Cheers for helping more people find that show.

"Giant, quivering Jell-O utters"? Maybe try a Double D. Or would that be udderly ridiculous?

PLEASE post the Emmy nominated comedies you won’t watch... I actually think it’s a decent list. Except for The Bear, which everyone drools over and hasn’t made me laugh once.
