    “Cunk on Life” is very funny until about the mid-point, when it hits a screeching halt with a cringey segment on the death penalty from which it struggles to recover. And that segment. Woof. .... Frankly, a lot of TV is pretty uneven these days. In “Cunk on Life,” at least you know you’ll get some good laughs.

    These interludes are crucial. I wonder how much mileage is left in the central joke, watching academics improvise answers to yet another inane or disrespectful question. After so many episodes, the result rarely surprises, the tension is missing. Depth appears when the inane crosses into the profound – like when questions about the nature of God or the implications of cloning yield something meatier.
