Brilliant
This is absolutely brilliant. The underplayed yet overexaggerated satire is on point.
And there is actual history in this (if you know your basics).
And this is not some "gotcha" interviews. She has been doing Cunk for years, so the experts know exactly what this is, which somehow makes it even funnier. How the experts are able to both play along, while still being startled is comedic gold.
I think maybe this type of satire is harder to laugh at or really appreciate if you are from a culture or part of the world where satire is more (or too much) overdone and flamboyant, rather than this type of subtle-yet-not form. Brilliant.
