    The one where she asks if King Arthur came a lot absolutely had me in stitches.

    I looked it up and apparently this ISN’T the actress from IT Crowd. However, even after IMDB confirmed it I’m having trouble believing they aren’t the same person.

      I’ve never realised that they even looked alike until now.

      She was on charlie brookers various wipes before she had her own show.

      Cunk. She’s a comedians persona - imagine the stupidest, most clueless woman going around interviewing experts in their respective fields. She is asking the worst questions possible and stumps some of the most intelligent people through it. It’s hilarious, give her a try

          I don’t know that one so can’t say. There’s plenty of her on youtube though. One of the sketches she did, was read along with Cunk. She sat down, started reading it in silence, then took a phone call from a friend and complained that her employers made her read for some reason

    Nothing better to make me not watch a show than all of the internet people circle jerking obsessively over how funny it is.

    Not a single image or clip of this show has ever seemed funny to me. It’s the most forced humour I’ve ever seen in my life.

      It’s essentially sketch comedy, it’s not forced, that’s not the same thing. I mean feel free not to like it, but at least get the terms right.

      It’s not expected to be funny but it’s to be clueless - which is the silliness in it

      You’ve never watched so you wouldn’t know if it’s funny or not. Maybe you should try things for yourself before having an opinion on them. May even have fun once and a while.

        This take is ridiculous. I’m not allowed to have an opinion until I’ve watched the entire show? I’ve seen so many clips and screenshots of the show’s jokes, and I find them incredibly unfunny, which is my point.

        Some of you take things incredibly personally. Enjoy what you want to enjoy. None of you are the fucking victims here.

              Nah he/she aggressively came here to announce how much they hate this show. Nobody cares, fuck off. Keep your negativity in your head, the world has enough of it already.

                They posted their very mild, harmless opinion on a public forum and it disagrees with you.

                “Aggressively” “announce” you’re unhinged.
