I showed cunk to a girl I was dating, she didn't get that it was satire ๐Ÿ˜ญ

I can understand that, Satire is fairly new, having been invented in the early 90s by the famous French philosopher Jean-Paul Satire who was inspired by the dance/funk ballad 'Pump up the Jam!' by Technotronic.

No, it's the famous journalist/documentarian Philomena Cunk, from her series Cunk on Earth.

Couldn't listen to that show because of vicarious embarrassment.

She was also funny as in Motherland.
