Cunk on earth is an absurdly stupid, in an intellectually funny way, show.

If you're not already familiar, the "host" Philomena Cunk is a persona played by comedian Diane Morgan who interviews scholars like an ordinary documentary host but with very stupid questions.

The questions and narrations are stupid in a way like children asking things with logic half correct and half absurd.

And yet if you read between the lines, it's very clever.

Very British, I'd say.

Oh yes oh yes, been a fan for years despite being a mere American. The "Moments of Wonder" series was my introduction to her work. She interviews experts in various fields with ludicrous though sly questions. It's Ali G. done right, to my way of thinking.

The "Moments of Wonder" collection can be found here, if anyone would like a taste. They're fairly short, so should you not like her, not much time will have been wasted.

(Though if you don't like her, I'm going to need your address so that I can report you to the authorities as a danger to society. I was really hoping y'all could somehow skip Charles and just go straight to Morgan.)
