If you haven’t been living under a WiFi-less rock, you know Cunk on Earth is the Netflix (and BBC) gift that drops bombshell dialogues. Featuring Philomena Cunk—a.k.a. the queen of deadpan—this mockumentary is a masterclass in “WTH did she just say?” moments.

Philomena is out here asking the big questions, like, “Did cavemen know they were cavemen, or did they just think they were men?” With her mix of high-key ridiculousness and zero shame, she’s basically the Internet’s spirit animal. So obviously, the memes? They’re fire. They’re a vibe.


Let’s go through 15 Cunk on Earth memes that’ll have you cackling so hard you’ll accidentally open your calculator app.

1) The 1 person is also sus

First of all, 19 criminals for every 1 victim sounds like a really inefficient business model for crime.

2) Well, it’s complicated

Meanwhile, every American watching this is nervously clutching their 7 different amendments.

3) Philomena doesn’t miss

Does Santa check kids’ credit scores before sliding down the chimney? North Pole's HR department needs a serious review.

4) Who is the DJ?

The kind of question that makes you stare at a blank space for 10 minutes at least.

5) The war to end all wars

Historians are still arguing in the comments.

6) Jesus vs Uncle Steve

Imagine trying to spread your message with no social media and your follower is Peter who can't even stay loyal.

7) Darwin's theory

So Darwin had an existential crisis over a falling apple?

8) Do we get a heads-up?

The world will be like those 50, old selfies you never deleted permanently.

9) Steve Jobs on death bed

Guys, make sure to make every iPhone a new level of inconvenience and let them scramble for adapters.

10) Ancient wisdom

Greek philosophers casually dropped the blueprint for life. They were the OG drop-the-mic geniuses.

11) Cancel culture

Jesus got canceled before it was even cool. He is the pioneer of cancel culture because the crowd was like nah, we're not buying this. Bye.

12) No loitering zone

I mean, if you were a pharaoh, would you want random people sleeping on your pyramid? It's like they invented Do Not Disturb signs.

13) Relationship test question

Exactly! We need answers to the bigger questions first. Space and ocean life can wait. So can origin theory.

14) Big flex

He would just randomly submit Hamlet as homework and drop a few Sonnets on the go. Talk about unfair advantage.

15) Mona Lisa's mysterious vibe

Mona Lisa's smile is basically the universal symbol representing all the women who refuse to share their thoughts.

Philomena Cunk has taught us that it’s okay to not know everything—just say it with enough conviction, and someone might believe you.
