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?

She could have driven there with the Eurotunnel no bother, though! Bit of a ride bit doable.
Everybody knows that goes to France and Rome is in Italy
:,D
You mean to tell me there are no road connections between the Eurotunnel's French exit and Rome?
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.
You can go from France to Italy.
Euro tunnel has a train track not a road. You don't drive through it, you take your car on a train.
Don’t you guys have a tunnel?
The tunnel doesn't have a road through it.
I bet you could get a car in there if you tried hard enough.
You can get a car on the ferry or an airplane, that doesn't make it a road.
That's just because Londinium Bridge Fell Down
I'm guessing it's a translation error: all roads lead away from Rome. It's an easy mistake to make.
Remarkably easy to read in her voice. 10/10
Ikr. I hear it
We need more Cunk.
This sounds like something Philomena would actually say!
They also invented dictators!
They even invented the Romans
And organized crime
What have the Romans ever done for us...?
The aqueducts?
Ok aqueducts, but else have the Romans done us?
All hail the Holy Roman Empire apparently
That was more the Germans, the Roman Republic invented dictators.
Yeah, the HRE was centuries later and way less cool. The only thing they had going for them was massive chins.
Thanks for the early morning laugh.
Whoops, guess we'll have to boycott pizza and pasta now.
Potatoes for everyone!
Sorry, the potato is too german. We did a little fascism back in the day too, so that’s out as well.
Rice perhaps?
Potatoes originate from South America though.
Rice is problematic because Japan had a bit of a fascism problem, too.
Rice was domesticated in China and Africa, I think he might be ok on that front.
Might wanna look up how many people died in China as a direct result of the communist revolution.
Well, shit, good point. There was the whole sparrows thing too.
That reminds me…
Watermelons are safe.
But that's not Italy, that's Vatican city 😅
Maybe they popularized fascism, but Marcus Garvey invented it.
Holy shit, don´t let the Rastafarians see this!
Twice!
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.
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.
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.
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.
The original joke is funny, personally I think imagining cunk saying it is funnier.
