What's surprising to me is that his explanation is wrong. The force of the wind on the wing creates lift above the wing, it isn't pushed up from below.
@@montanacreed5826The explanation was correct, the profile of the wing causes air to flow faster over the top, resulting in a lower pressure. The pressure difference between the top and bottom of the wing cause it to be pushed up. You can choose to view it as being pulled up by the lower pressure if you want, but generally because of the way air pressure works it's thought of as pushing in technical terms.
I hear ya. In middle school sex-Ed, after saying there were no stupid questions, I seriously asked if it was possible to break an erected penis. I got in trouble for being a smart ass. It was an absolute serious question. I have a penis, I'd just like to know. I was like 12. Help a brother out
@adamjenkins190 actually it's a very good question. You were ahead of your time. Nowadays, older men are using Viagra which makes them very hard. But due to aging, can be quite brittle, especially if the woman is on top and loses the run of herself grinding. Is very painful apparently and is becoming more common.
The thing is that you actually need to be very smart and have a vast knowledge to ask these stupid questions. Most stupid people wouldn't even come up with questions
@@AndNowIJustSitInSilence I half agree. I think you don't have to be smart to come up with stupid questions. But you have to be smart to come up with stupid questions that are witty and funny.
I love the "has there been a light ages" question because she actually stumbles into something real and the expert grabs that like a lifeline 😂 and then it's back to the regular schedule
She follows that up by asking what episode they're on and what episode the expert reckons that thing she just said will get mentioned 😂😂 it's so impressively disruptive and disrespectful
The interview with Dr. Shirley J. Thompson (the music professor) is one of my favorites. The way she tries to be as nice as possible, smiling widely, nodding, all the while her eyes are screaming absolute despair.
Every teacher, regardless of what level they teach at, has had at least one person ask a question at least as dumb as these in earnest at some point in their career.
"Sooo... you couldn't blow an entire orchestra?" How does she manage 100% composure -- not even the teeniest hint of a smile? Simply brilliant! Her humour is god-damned refreshing and omfg hilarious. (Crucified baby Jesus? omfg!)🤣
This character is classic! The way she can play the part of being completely serious, and childlike way of asking questions makes it impossible for the other party to be angry. You can see their brains scrambling to formulate an answer in a reasonable fashion.
Alone the fact she was able to get „so you wouldn’t be able to blow a whole Orchestra“ out without absolutely loosing her shit shows how good she is. That was funny
They don't get angry because they know it's a comedy show. It's not Ali G, she's not pranking them, they know what is going on. They are informed what the show is and prompted to take the questions seriously and just answer them dead-pan to the best of their ability.
What if when we die we find out she's right and "science" is just a shared delusion self perpetuated by the belief of those who've been indoctrinated with it😂
I remember Diane Morgan playing Philomena Cunk back in 2013-2015 on the Charlie Brooker show Screenwipe. Then I didn't see her again until RU-vid recommended these new Cunk clips to me this year. Algorithm, you have outdone yourself. Thank you for reminding me of Morgan's comedic brilliance.
FYI, this is actually a character from the Charlie Brooker series Newswipe (the guy who wrote Black Mirror). If you want more of this type of thing I would highly recommend it. It's a current affairs comedy thing. There's also Gameswipe and Screenwipe about video games and TV/Cinena. Weekly Wipe which was a more genral one, and Anti-Viral Wipe which was about coronavirus. All of them are brilliant and a very similar style of humour to this. Philomena Cunk was like a parody talking head on them Quite a lot of them are on RU-vid. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nRg0z8OBrCA.html
The reaction of the music expert who tried so sweetly to answer her questions about the orchestra just killed me. She looked like she was really trying to talk to a 3 year or younger. And under that frozen smile she looked like she was really trying to not lose her mind or her composure. Brilliant!!!!
"social media has been polarizing people hasn't it like what's already happened to the bears?" "What bears?" "Polar bears". Instantly came as a punch on the face to me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have NOT laughed this hard since discovering Fawlty Towers in 1975. The sheer sincerity in her stupidity, deadpan delivery, child-like naivete, is a recipe for comedy GOLD!!! I have watched all the clips here several times, always catching something I missed the last time I went into laughing cardiac arrest.
She is so right about how planes fly. It has been written many times that Bees cannot fly because their wings are too small, but because Bees cannot read they continue flying. It’s amazing. Once they learn to read there will be no more honey. Buy it now while stocks last.
Seriously, no one should fall for that internet myth that scientists say bees shouldn’t be able to fly. That old one has been debunked a million times. Any way it was only ever about Bumble bees, not all bees.
5:04 I feel the exact same way as her about airplanes and computers lmfao, I've tried learning about the scientific theories behind them but it all genuinely seems like magic to me. We taught rocks to fly and to talk to us. How is that possible?? it breaks my brain. I feel Philomena on this one 😭 lmfaoooo
well as for aeroplanes... imagine a board, a wooden one. Let it be in this position: \, or somewhere beetwen _ and \. If you now punch it horizontally, like this: -> \, it wouldn't go straight horizontally, it would also go upwards. And the more it's to being horizontal, the more up it'll go after a horizontal punch. Easy? Now swap the punching force with the air and board with a wing, and that's the principle behind uptake force
in a more formal way, when the plane propels forward it hits the air molecules with wings. Then molecules bounce down the \ wing and the wing goes up and backwards due to conservation of momentum. So the plane goes up, forward and backward. Though, the forward force due to engines working is much stronger than backwards force due to air collisions. So the plane goes up and forward
@@IvanIvanov-ej2wy your explanation of how wings work is flawed the lift generated from redirecting air molecules is negligible for the angle of attack of the narrow airplane wings research the subject some, lift is generated by the geometry of the wing creating a pressure difference it is not intuitive but it is how it works
"You could convert your ideas into writing, and then anyone else could come along and upload those ideas into their own brain, by wirelessly importing them......through their eyes"
This woman is absolutely gold. @ 1:32 brought back such fond memories as an 11 y/o in 1st Yr R.E as we thought we were so cool to call the Bible exactly that lol
I am absolutely in love with this woman - the best is the reaction from the people she's interviewing, they're trying to take her seriously with those strange troll-ish questions!
@@vangroover1903 Cretinous pretence will always trump the rarified atmosphere of the self inflated intellectual... like bloated dictionaries, they balance atop the head of a pin, while someone else washes the dishes and takes out the trash. The Cretinous masses have something the isolated intellectual will never possess - common sense !! or group consciousness - the antithesis of western society, who've been taught it's dog eat dog since kindergarten...study hard, work hard and die even harder, as puppets and pawns for big pharma, milking every cent on the way to the grave
@@william6084 Your resentment of your betters is blinding you. Common Sense is a euphemism for the ossified stupiditities of dead failures. Just keep the fries fresh and we'll whistle when we need you.
@@vangroover1903 I have no betters, or lesser's. Even with eye's closed my path is luminous and transcendent...would you like fries with that ? Phone's open are 5pm. Free garlic bread for pompous intellectuals
@@william6084 If you weren't so obviously resentful of them you might be right, but your blind hatred renders you lower and lesser. It's about attitude, not rank or position. I'll take a double order of that yummy bread, though
You can tell most of them have really tried to prepare themselves for her shenanigans, but she’s just too damn good at what she does and easily breaks through 😂
How she asked about paintings where baby Jesus was being crucified with a straight face is beyond me. I had to pause and step out of the room just to stop heaving laughing.
How is it that nobody ever just loses it and ends up rolling helplessly on the floor? Seriously! I could easily imagine doing just that! Also, there have to be people who figure it out in the middle. Rather than leaving that on the cutting room floor, the producers really ought to make a special episode consisting entirely of "oh wait a minute, I get it now.....".
Because the experts all know in advance that she’s a comedian who is going to ask lots of stupid questions, and they’re asked to go along with it. It’s just that most of the questions she asks are so stupid that most of them can barely believe their ears 😂
@@notepadpowersnail1860 Yeah, I just saw the Seth Meyers interview where she says they know it's a comedy ("the cat's out of the bag now"), but they don't know what she's going to ask. This is in contrast to Sacha Baron Cohen, who's Ali G character had to be retired once it could no longer ambush unsuspecting public figures. But Philomena Cunk could keep on going for years! (It's possible though that in the early years Morgan's experts may also have been unsuspecting).
I've always admired Philomena's ability to give that slightly glassy-eyed look of confusion all the while coming up with the funniest dumb questions on the fly.
