It's so funny my chest hurts.

It's just his and Philomena Cunk's satirical take on the pandemic. Bbc on catch up.

The pandemic is totally the opposite of funny but it's nice to see there are sane people around who can still laugh at the bizarre times we are living in.

Apologies to anyone who is having too shit a time for it ThanksThanks

Matt Hancock looking like ‘your sister’s first boyfriend with a car’ did for me. So accurate!😂

Soontobe60 · 16/05/2020 20:37

We've just watched it too. Sooo funny but also worrying that it's so true.

middleager · 16/05/2020 20:37

Loved it!
We need more satire.

Stroller15 · 16/05/2020 20:39

Andrew Pollard keeping a straight face with 'what is your background?' killed me!

PapsofJura · 16/05/2020 21:01

Really cheered us up, brilliant!

rosegoldwatcher · 16/05/2020 21:29

Best laugh I have had in ages!

VaTeLaverLesMains · 16/05/2020 21:32

Oh good-just wanted to share in case anyone hadn't seen it was on.

hermione I thought I had misheard!

TheDrsDocMartens · 16/05/2020 21:41

We’ve just watched it. Love Charlie Brooker!

VaTeLaverLesMains · 16/05/2020 21:44

I loved how Philomena couldn't pronounce Coronavirus properly.

'It's big on tv, like up to his waist, so how can it get up your nose? How does that work?

I'm buying some squirty cream for my zoom calls GrinGrin

Absolute tonic. Loved it. Konnie's home schooling Grin

SpeedofaSloth · 16/05/2020 21:47

Yes, Konnie was fab Grin

SpeedofaSloth · 16/05/2020 21:48

Philomena Cunk is my heroine.

Jemimatheragdoll · 16/05/2020 22:03

Just watched it-very funny. We couldn't stop laughing at the washing your hands to happy birthday twice 🤣

brimfullofasha · 16/05/2020 22:51

This was brilliant. Very well observed satire and so funny. I have a big crush on Charlie too.

FelicityElectricity · 16/05/2020 22:53

Loved it. Particularly rolled around at the bit describing the government press briefings as a really shit game show.

VaTeLaverLesMains · 16/05/2020 22:55

I must watch more comedy.

Trouble is finding the stuff that is actually funny.

Oh I really needed that. Thanks to all concerned, first laugh in weeks.

gamerchick · 16/05/2020 22:56

Ah I properly love Charlie Brooker. Grin

I'll check it out, thanks.

I enjoyed it but can’t stand Philomena Cunk.

DGRossetti · 17/05/2020 17:19

I was especially impressed by the expert who very deftly accepted Cunks braindeadedness and managed to gently steer away from the lunacy without getting rattled or seeming testy.

It made me wonder if there's been a sort of media brainstorming across the world on how to deal with dickheads like Trump. Kind of the intelligence strikes back ?

DGRossetti · 17/05/2020 17:19

I enjoyed it but can’t stand Philomena Cunk.

having seen Diane Morgan in a couple of interviews, I have to wonder if she's just playing herself ...

MissEliza · 18/05/2020 00:06

I laughed so much my chest hurt. I loved the references to Konnie's Blue Peter background, telling her to knock up a ventilator with a plastic bottle!
