This is Rome. They say all roads lead to Rome, but actually none of the roads in the UK do. So I had to book a flight to get here. So that sayings not even true is it?

[-] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 38 points 10 months ago

She could have driven there with the Eurotunnel no bother, though! Bit of a ride bit doable.

[-] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 42 points 10 months ago

Everybody knows that goes to France and Rome is in Italy

[-] rtxn@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

You mean to tell me there are no road connections between the Eurotunnel's French exit and Rome?

[-] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 31 points 10 months ago

Tell that to Cunk. Pretty sure her mate Paul went there once and he couldn't find it because all the signs were in french and he doesn't speak french, only english.

[-] rambling_lunatic@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

You can go from France to Italy.

[-] Michal@programming.dev 5 points 10 months ago

Euro tunnel has a train track not a road. You don't drive through it, you take your car on a train.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago

Don’t you guys have a tunnel?

[-] Michal@programming.dev 8 points 10 months ago

The tunnel doesn't have a road through it.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

I bet you could get a car in there if you tried hard enough.

[-] Michal@programming.dev 1 points 10 months ago

You can get a car on the ferry or an airplane, that doesn't make it a road.

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

That's just because Londinium Bridge Fell Down

[-] Dieterlan@lemmy.world 72 points 10 months ago

Remarkably easy to read in her voice. 10/10

[-] pythonoob@programming.dev 3 points 10 months ago

Ikr. I hear it

[-] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 37 points 10 months ago

We need more Cunk.

[-] 520@kbin.social 37 points 10 months ago

This sounds like something Philomena would actually say!

[-] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 16 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

They also invented dictators!

[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 8 points 10 months ago

They even invented the Romans

[-] spare_muppets@lemmy.ca 6 points 10 months ago

And organized crime

[-] Codandchips@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

What have the Romans ever done for us...?

[-] Heterocephalus@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)
[-] Codandchips@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Ok aqueducts, but else have the Romans done us?

[-] VampyreOfNazareth@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

All hail the Holy Roman Empire apparently

[-] Leviathan@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

That was more the Germans, the Roman Republic invented dictators.

[-] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 13 points 10 months ago

Whoops, guess we'll have to boycott pizza and pasta now.

Potatoes for everyone!

[-] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 11 points 10 months ago

Sorry, the potato is too german. We did a little fascism back in the day too, so that’s out as well.

Rice perhaps?

[-] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 13 points 10 months ago

Potatoes originate from South America though.

Rice is problematic because Japan had a bit of a fascism problem, too.

[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 4 points 10 months ago

Rice was domesticated in China and Africa, I think he might be ok on that front.

[-] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 2 points 10 months ago

Might wanna look up how many people died in China as a direct result of the communist revolution.

[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 1 points 10 months ago

Well, shit, good point. There was the whole sparrows thing too.

[-] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 2 points 10 months ago

That reminds me…

[-] prayer@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Maybe they popularized fascism, but Marcus Garvey invented it.

[-] Heterocephalus@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

Holy shit, don´t let the Rastafarians see this!

[-] checcco@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

But that's not Italy, that's Vatican city 😅

I don't see why it's necessary to use this format to attribute a person's joke to another person who writes jokes. Like, the original guy is a humorist. It's his joke. Why bring Cunk into it? I have nothing wrong with Cunk but this is a weird way to use this format.

[-] HAL_9_TRILLION@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I'm not on xitter so I may read cues wrong but the way I read it, the person who posted the Cunk attribution graphic was basically just saying "lol this reminded me of something Cunk would say."

I feel pretty sure that would have crossed my mind too reading that.

[-] xantoxis@lemmy.world -1 points 10 months ago

Sure, but it's also something the Brooks Otterlake account would say. I understand what the meme is doing, I'm saying it's unnecessary, in the same way these kinds of things do:

or adding "Nobody:" before your joke.

Just share the joke.

[-] Stamets@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Its unnecessary

Comedy does not follow logic or strict progression, otherwise every single comedian would be doing set up and punchline jokes and Norm MacDonald would have been shot in the head.

Comedy takes different forms for different people. Stop trying to press all comedy into your own personal mold.

[-] BluesF@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

The original joke is funny, personally I think imagining cunk saying it is funnier.
