Today’s episode of “Moments of Wonder,” with the inimitable and adorable Philomena Cunk, deals with the serious problem of climate change. (We’ll have an episode a day until they run out, which will be soon.)
And yes, Andy Watson is a real “Science Man.”
She’s my new heroine;-))
I love these! There’s a real art to satire like this, and this is spot on.
Could to know it’s not going to get as bad as a ban on ice lollies. There’s still hope!
Nineteen centuries ago, hahaha!
“How does weather actually work . . .and make it snappy.”
That’s too funny. LOL.
I didn’t find her funny. I’ve not seen her before, but the gsgs sounds a bit tired. I suppose that means I’m not getting the “art in the satire”.
Yeah, you’ve missed something…or missing something |:
Think Gracie Allen mixed with Goldie Hawn, minus the giggle. And, try her video on either Time or Money or Churchill or… There are about 8.
“This hot topic has split the science community straight down the middle, 90:10”
Brilliant!
And I was under the apparent misapprehension that it was 95:5.
I think 97:3 is the usually quoted figure. And, I think 3% is a reasonable estimate as to the number of climate scientists who work for Shell and Exxon.
I wonder if she ever interviews science women?
Yes, that’s coming up tomorrow (actually, Philosophy Woman). Stay tuned.
Can’t wait!!
Wow, the dinosaurs are nearly instinct. Had no idea that’s where goals came from…
She is as good with the dead pan as it gets.
Goals??
sorry….coals
Yeah, the coals (plural) part was very funny:-)). I don’t know how she doesn’t crack up!
I’m sure she doesn’t always get it on the first take.
I would surely be easier on the first take than on subsequent takes when you already have your previous failures to live down
That must be why professional actors are so humble.
😎
She reminds me of a posh Ali-G. BTW, Ali-G had a great segment on creationism/evolution that he somehow convinced Kent Hovind to appear on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3Qlhyp0oZo
Sorry- couldn’t watch as far as the evolution bit. I find Sasha Baron-Cohen sooooo annoying!! Could hardly make it through Borat:(. I just don’t find him funny (except possibly the “pussy magnet” ice-cream truck he drove in Borat…)
Aw, come on, he’s pretty funny…”no, he aint got no techmology. Check out his website”
She certainly grows on you. I like her more with every video shown. I have a theory, though, that she has a horrible smile. It’s why she finds if easy to not crack up. Of course somebody’s now going to show me a video to prove me wrong.
Stop Burning Dinosaurs!
makes about as much sense as anything else you’ll see on the beeb about climate.
