Tweet Protocol ‘Altar’ . For someone proud about being English, surprised you need a foreigner to point out proper English spelling. Where would you be without multiculturalism, eh?
I really like the first one who played the part. He was in a series I liked years ago and it was great to see him again. But this bloke has got it spot on. I've met so many people like him.
@@jonathanmccarthy5226 With it so often not being successful hence him being really great. Your comment is like saying that cutting hair is just cutting hair and that's "kind of the point of it" - and we all know the difference between having your hair cut by someone really skilled and someone who isn't. They both call themselves hairdressers. So the point of acting is to seem completely real and inhabiting the role. Agreed. Its the art of concealing the art - which this actor does brilliantly.
I go to uni of York, have a person in my class who’s from hull. Doesn’t know what pesto is, when given loose leaf tea he asked “what the hell is that” and finds burritos “too adventurous”. On top of all that he doesn’t eat meat. The dirty, evil, vegetarian bastard.
In Canada that is a huge no no. Americans may wear shoes in the home but we will kick you out if you step into our homes without taking off your shoes.
@@Fairfax40DaysforLife No, I mean I can't understand Northerners from the UK very well. And yes, those from the American South can have a very strong accent.
I live in Yorkshire my sister works in the city of London. I send her the Catherine Tate skits over the posh mummy having no good brie in. She sent me this this morning touche, i laughed my head off.
I've got a story for them. I went to Liverpool once, and I went to a bar, got charged £5.50 for a bottle of Old Moot Cider. £5.50. If that wasn't bad enough, I then got charged £9.50 for a double Gin & Tonic. The dirty, thieving, robbing bastards. This is in Liverpool!
@@markjohnson9476 true story : Me and dad were lost in Huddersfield looking for the polytechnic ( open day). So we stopped this girl and asked her, and she replied in a strong yorkshire accent " there is no polytechnic in huddersfield". I tried to explain to her that there was but she was not having any of it. As we got back in the car and were about to drive off she said " but I can tell you where the university is..." grrrrrrr.....
I have no idea how these two could ever record this scene. I would be laughing the entire time! These two are brilliant! And Catherine Tate is one of my favorite people in the world!
My ex-pat folks living in Spain have Northern friend couples just like this! 😂 One couple were outraged having to pay more than €1 for a bottle of their daily wine. They’ve boycotted that Supermarket and tell everyone about the experience. I get the same stories every visit.
Katherine Tate is the Queen of Comedy, I am always in stitches watching this one, they are all the best sketches, 'the dirty evil lactose intolerant bastards'...........
Lex & I weren't too enthusiastic about Catherine Tate being a companion to Dr Who.We had only seen & enjoyed her comedy before.But she was awesome!One who really can b called a star.I loved her with David Tennant as an annoying school girl too.Even after being shrunk she's still not bovvered!
I understand only half of what they say, because I am german, but it is so funny. I came across it, because I love Fergus and the gooseberry cinnamon yoghurt.
I remember being astonished when at the age of 19 I visited my middle class girlfriends family house : they had several kinds of breakfast cereal in a line of large glass jars. I had never seen so much wealth in one place before.
Ray: 'I'm as broad-minded as the next man!' Janice: 'He once shook hands with a fella who definitely a little bit effeminate!' Janice: 'She asked us to take our shoes off!' Ray: 'She's not even a Muslim!'
Should watch Tom Green Freddy Got Fingered, when he makes a big deal about a cheese sandwich, its stupid but fuck me is it funny :D ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vSAWRdvVCgc.html Kills me that lol
I went in a certain famous coffee shop recently. Three hot chocolates...17 pounds fifty! I looked at him and found myself saying "Even Dick Turpin wore a mask!" I'm turning into Ray in my middle age.
I remember my friend's family came from England and Scotland to Thailand for holiday and they survived on burgers and chips, it was like taking small children to dinner.
Lol, I once managed a Backpackers Hostel in NZ, all these british travellers who had just come there through Thailand. I’d say “ isn’t the food and street food great?!” And so many ( no, not all, but many) would pull a face and say “ we didn’t try it as we didn’t know what we would be getting”.
@@evitasdad literally their loss, more for the rest of us! I’m British and have lived in Thailand and honestly British people are some of the most ignorant and boring in the world. I love Thailand because every essence of their culture is rich and thriving with pride, it isn’t perfect but damn do they make you feel it is 💕 Going back after university because I can’t hack the dreariness of this country. คิดถึงไทยอะะะ 😫
I was on a bus trip in Australia and the middle aged English couple wouldn't eat their vegetables. It was a nicely prepared meal for us at the small roadside hotel and I saw they ate their meat and potatoes but left the lovely veggies completely untouched. It was ridiculous. Like 45-year-old toddlers.
Can just hear them telling people about Harry. ''Tell them about your Lily's boy." 'He's gone to an academy. For Witches. A witches academy! I mean our Lily was always a bit funny, especially since she married that James..." 'They don't need to know that.'
I love the respectful way they each wait until the other says something, before speaking. They never interrupt each other. I'd always hoped for a relationship just like that. After 34 yrs of marriage, my ex left me for a co-worker who was 13 yrs. older than me. Oh well...At least I can laugh at Catherine Tate, she's my Hero! : )
I'm American and I'm late in discovering Catherine Tate. In America, she's mostly known for playing Nellie on The Office. Of all her characters/sketches, I think I like this pair the best. I love the accent and I love how insulted they are over anything the slightest bit different. I'd like to think that people like this still exist in England. So proudly traditional. And I feel the same way about rice milk, TBH.
Thanks for your appreciation however, We English don't have accents, We have regional dialects, you Americans and anyone who is not from England sp English with an accent! 👍
As a chef, they are entirely correct about putting croutons on gazpacho... One does not put bread on a soup made with bread. Bread. With bread. The dirty bastards.
@I know it all. I know it all. I've got nothing to do with Labour, working class in Britain, or Britain itself. I was just commenting on the attitude displayed (even in parody) here. It's not difficult to understand that people with this way of thinking would be the ones to vote for Brexit. As for me, I couldn't care less if Britain brexits or not. I don't live there.
Beats Temple bloody Newsam. A schooltrip every year for 12 years and two weekend visits a year for 42. I even take my own kids there and I fucking hate the place.
My food tastes are VERY traditional and boring, but it still disturbs me how much I relate to these people. When I see crazy things like cranberries in a quesadilla, or a “breadless prawn and avocado sandwich”, I go nuts too.
Though I can not possibly catch every nuance, being non-British-- yet, as a Catherine Tate fan, from Savannah, Georgia! 😊... but living in Texas ❤ ---I do indeed feel the pain and horror of this traumatized couple's experience of such ghastly culinary crimes! I recall my own eyes nearly popping out as I witnessed my date and her parents (from 😡 somewhere up North) 😬 who had, in deference to my region's reputation for delicious fried chicken, ..served😊 a lovely meal of (not-nearly-as delicious fried chicken as my mama always made) -- and as I gladly held onto my chicken thigh ready to chow down, I looked up and saw my date and her entire family using FORKS AND KNIVES 🤯🤯. The shock continues decades later! Then there was a college friend (from up North, what a surprise 😮) who tried eating grits with sugar and milk 😫... Oh, the pain, the pain. But the tables were turned on me when I lived in Colombia, and I myself committed the ultimate culinary faux pas -- putting sugar on a breakfast dish, called "masamorra." My breakfast companion nearly fainted. 😢 Food can be hilarious, can't it?! 😂 BTW, I adore the Posh family, especially when they suddenly have to rely on an agency nanny from Newcastle. We Savannahians can absolutely relate, drawl and all.😂 Thanks, Catherine!
finn brady Gotten used to be part of English but was scorned as being too Anglo Saxon in the 18th century. It was around that time that there was an effort to gentrify English. And at that time the American Colonies became the USA and retained a large part of English that now seems alien to the British. "Ill gotten gains" is a use that has survived to today in the UK.
