- @chienfou The correct answer was “Ain’t nobody got time for that” but we’ll accept “you had the time, but you squandered it!”, because it made me laugh.

Oh, come on! You had to know that anything discussing the nature of time would eventually get around to Dr. Who!

I think her name is Philomena Crunk! I wish that was my name, and that she’d stolen it from me.

- Clark may know more than Cunk, but Cunk has better hair.

- @aetris Oops yeah, it’s “Cunk” not “Crunk”, isn’t it! I think “crunk” is either drug slang or some form of techno music.

- @daveinwarsh one of the all time best albums.
  
  Still have both my original standard and master recording LPs.
  
  The alarm clock section of Time is much less harsh on the master recording.

Is this meant as a satire of science videos and/or YouTube videos? In which case it did not work for me.

If it was meant as actual information, or interesting observations, then I found it horrible.

- @bdb - It’s a satire of Brit-tv documentary shows. Diane Morgan (“Philomena Cunk”) is sometimes a little too broad for my taste as well, but some of it is hilarious. That Look Around You science-satire @thisismyusername linked is also a scream.

- @bdb the opening line didn’t tip you off?
  
  Time is precious. But it’s not like other precious things. You can’t hold it, like a necklace, or taste it, like money.
  
  I forgave the too forward grammar jokes; that was a great line.
