People always comment about how Diane keeps a straight face when asking her questions, but I don't understand how Mark Thomas kept a straight face when she said, "monkey ladies in waiting."
"I'll be finding out where clouds go at night" I genuinely sat there for a second and thought "Why have I never even thought about this?". Philomena has had an effect on me.
This one is tied top Cunk for me, the other being "next week, I'll be finding out where your lap goes when you stand up". That one got the exact same WHY HAVE I NOT WONDERED THAT?! reaction from me!
Ooo! Ooo! I know this one! I know this one! My sister has a digital camera that goes up to ASA (or ISO) 128000, and when you take a picture of the night sky with it, it looks just like the daytime -- blue sky, clouds, and all! So the clouds *don't go ANYWHERE* -- they're just too damn dark to SEE!
Imagine preparing for hours just to make yourself presentable to the camera and be as professional as you can be. Then the interview starts with "Hello science man, who are you?". 🤣 ffs
They are in on the joke so to speak, sometimes the academic breaks character and bursts out laughing and they have to reshoot. Diane talks about it on a US chat show with Seth whassisname- SNL alumni guy
In the state of Georgia, in the United States, candidate Hershel Walker stated with a straight and earnest face in a speech recently, "If we came from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?"
@@zubileegluckgluck one day you’ll feel no hatred towards other people for doing things that don’t harm or affect you in any way and you will know peace at last. Or you’ll die mad, no biggie.
@@82892869hi men are not women. women are not men. all humans are male or female. i don't care about your childish emotional manipulation. reality is real and puberty blockers aren't reversible.
@@zubileegluckgluck where did you get those talking points? you do know you can think for yourself rather than be filled with thought terminating cliches by propagandists. everything you just said is scientifically wrong. Millions of intersex people exist, puberty blockers are reversible, i dont care about your right wing brainwashing
Good point. Some folks seem to know how to pick their battles better than others. I'm just waiting for one of her interviewees to surrepititiously look away from Philomena, lean straight into the camera and quietly whisper, "Are you F@c#ing kidding me??? Help!!"
Phylogenetically, chimps and humans are monkeys. You cannot create a monophyletic group that includes all monkeys without including humans, chumps, and gorillas.
People didn’t evolve from monkeys but from another species where also the monkeys came from. So they are “brothers” not “fathers”. Darwin said this already.
Depending how you classify them, chimps (and the other great apes) are essentially monkeys. They're part of the "old world monkeys" parvorder, Catarrhini. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catarrhini
Imagine how many takes the must’ve done, being the science man I wouldn’t be able to sit through the interview with a straight face I would literally die
I LOVE Philomena Cunk so much literally everything about her is pure GENIUS but at the same time, even though I know it's an act it's painful to hear someone being just SO wrong...
It's satire and sarcasm. I understand that today it's no longer possible to distinguish either of these from real World News -- but you posted five years ago when it really should still have been possible to tell...
@@chrischiesa3253 It's incredibly ironic, that you'd tell someone they should be able to tell satire from serious stuff and yet you couldn't even tell that he did understand what it was. What part of his comment made you think he believed what she said? Couldn't have been the "even though I know it's an act"...
It's telling that she asks "why are there still moonkeys?" without changing a word from the Creationists' version. (My people come from Scotland. Why are there still people in Scotland?)
@@Retodon8 I think the world could be a better - and safer - place if Americans were better educated. Unfortunately they all seem to be happy believing and perpetuating their own propaganda. Their 'leaders' have a vested interest in keeping them ignorant.
My word, you're right! All these years I'd never noticed the difference. My excuse is that "rended" sounds just like "rendered" unless you're very rhotic. Thank you.
heyyy do any of you know, where can i watch the next episode where she asks "where did the clouds go at night"???? i visited the bbc website, but all vids seemed unavailable. is there any other place where i can watch that episode?
Mubarak Senju the next times aren’t real. They don’t exist. It’s just a joke tagged onto the end of the episode. So there’s multiple episodes of Cunk but the ‘next times’ never form the basis of individual episodes. If that makes sense.
Love that for some of this, she was able to just lift genuine arguments used by creationists like “why are there still monkeys?” Pretty embarrassing if your belief system is so stupid that someone deliberately playing a stupid character can just repeat your arguments wholesale! 😆
"what are an export in or on?" 😂 i am not sure if it should be in or on.. The only question that made sense in contrast with or to(there we go again) the staged questions
Humans did not evolve from either of the living species of chimpanzees (common chimpanzees and bonobos) or any other living species of apes. Humans and chimpanzees did, however, evolve from a common ancestor. This most recent common ancestor of living humans and chimpanzees would've lived between 5 and 8 million years ago. Extinct great apes such as Graecopithecus and Sahelanthropus tchadensis have been proposed as candidates for the chimpanzee-human last common ancestor (CHLCA), however, no fossil has yet conclusively been identified as the CHLCA.
@@Berniewahlbrinck for real though sometimes it gets real hard to tell. I saw some famous lady just recently crying to Bill Maher because she was offended about children not being able to transition and he seemed very confused
In the millions of years it takes for anything to evolve, science can't point to anything that has evolved into something else during our present time. What a coincidence huh!
"IF monkeys still exist". Are you questioning the existence of monkeys?! I think you've confused 'evolution' with 'transforming' or 'tramsmogrification'.
@@Retodon8 I've seen some struggling with the process and, unfortunately, unable to complete it. There should be govt euthanasia programs to end their suffering.
If Theory of Evolution is correct,Why my Classmate in Gradeschool still looks like a monkey even though she is a girl.When I enter a highschool and College there still the same I have a classmate looks like a Gorilla and Orangutan,I don't Believe coincidences.Perhaps Archeologist only found defectives.
I always thought that the "if we come from monkeys/apes..." argument was illogical. We come from a common ancestor of those creatures, but not from the modern primates themselves. I always thought that question was as ridiculous as asking, "If I come from my brother, why is my brother still here?" If you want to be cheeky, use this line as a retort: "If we come from dumb, backwards-minded cavemen, why are you still here" lol
how would you answer if someone ask "did all (100%) of those 'common ancestors' evolved into something else? If not, what happened to the unevolved ones?"
@@tenuksdnbhd Well the species that survived were generally more capable of adapting themselves to a niche. These adaptations can throughout a long period, combined with a lot of mutations eventually cause a species to gain different physical characteristics and a huge difference in genetic sequences between itself and a species with a common ancestor that evolved to fill a different niche or one that evolved to survive in a different habitat. Of course some species are incapable of adapting to changes (like a change in the climate for example) and are thus more likely to die out, because they are incapable of adapting to the changes around them. This is kinda the most basic way of explaining it, considering there are also a lot of other factors involved.
Except our kind of faith rely on overwhelming evidence(fossils all over the planet), peer reviewed, repeatedly tested and someone who proves wrong are more appreciated. Where's gawd!? yeah right.. it is invisible, shy, and silent... there there, suck up! 😄
