The site's critical consensus reads, "Diane Morgan feigns dopiness with ingenious comedic timing in Cunk on Earth, a gut-busting sendup of anthropological documentaries. There are some real laugh out loud moments in this book (‘Is Big Ben the name of the clock or the monster? Using humor quite similar to "Borat" movies, it tells condensed version of human history and main laugh is putting various experts into uncomfortable situation where they have to answer stupid questions about history.

The docuseries, which was one of the new movies and TV shows on Netflix that debuted at the end of January 2023, has a little something for those who find themselves in the middle section of the Venn diagram that has history on one side and comedy on the other, creating an experience like none other. Philomena Cunk ( Diane Morgan) travels around the world, interviewing (real-world) experts such as Paul Bahn, Martin Kemp, Nigel Spivey, and Shirley Thompson about world history.

The series stars Diane Morgan as Philomena Cunk, an ill-informed investigative reporter, a character who previously starred on Charlie Brooker's Weekly Wipe and Cunk on Britain.

She starred in the Gold sitcom The Cockfields, again alongside Wilkinson, [31] and in comedy-drama Frayed in 2019. This is that book – an encyclopedia of ALL HUMAN KNOWLEDGE, from sausages to Henry of Eight to Brush Strokes to vegetarian sausages. Books like this usually feel cobbled together from out-takes and flotsam that couldn't be used elsewhere, but this is a fairly coherent work with a lot of very strong one-liners.
