In the Beginnings (Humans Versus Cows 2D) (2022)

[nebohr · 9/10 · 31 January 2023]

This is a very clever production which offers absolutely nothing of any relevance. It is an example of what is known as "tongue-in-cheek" humor.

Philomena's running monolog is comedic genius :"Why do they say it's a mystery how the pyramids were built when it's obviously just big bricks in a triangle?"

From 23:15 -The historian John Man is the first interviewee to show that he appreciated the absurdity of Philomena Cunk's line of questioning.

Unfortunately, there aren't too many fart jokes so many viewers will, more than likely, change over to "South Park" or something equally mindless; searching for something they can understand.

I've seen so many of those historical documentaries where a host, usually British (Like Kenneth Burke or Richard Attenborough) walks through forests, stands on mountains, or rests on architectural masterpieces. Cunk on Earth captures the flavor of these shows but treats us to the vacuous ramblings of an air headed young woman who really has no interest or respect for what she is showing. First of all, her mind wanders, like what Alexander the Great's hair was like. She interviews experts and they are flummoxed the impossibility of answering her questions. She frequently point out how bored these people must have been. This one covers the dawn of man all the way to the Roman Empire passing through ancient Greece (not the musical) along the way! I am enthralled.

Greece the country, no the musical

I was just casually browsing what to watch when I saw Diane Morgan who I absolutely love.

I do like the occasional documentary as it is informative and love to learn new things. I had never watched a mockumentary before as far as I know it so I wasn't too sure if I'd like it.

First of all, it is informative, second of all, I had to pause this less than 30 minute episode multiple times as I had literally tears from laughing so hard.

This mockumentary is able to provide information but do it in a funny way, a really funny way.

I think Diane Morgan in this is absolutely brilliant. From full length-movies in caves, to Gwyneth Paltrow's spa treatments, this is an absolute must watch!
