Philomena Cunk makes the biggest issues, thoughts, and discussions simply laughable. Her character’s simplemindedness expose hard-to-answer questions in an expert fashion.
It’s hard to make stupid this properly funny. Being a jester or clown is hard work, after all. You have to give people something to laugh at, which usually means yourself if you’re a clown with your clown-ish antics, or making light of somebody’s situation in jest, if you’re a jester. Tár did this in a different fashion which I thoroughly enjoyed.
Cunk makes you think about the profound in the most deeply stupid terms possible. It’s genius.
Note: apparently people are searching for “philomena cunk porn” and landing here so I’m now explicitly saying that phrase because if I have to know that’s happening then you do too. And if that’s what brought you here, I’m so, so sorry. For everything.
