I'm scottish and my son came out to me when he was 16. Being huge Catherine Tate fans he told me if I ask if I look good in my new skirt he will kill me! Anyway we use the expression - he's a gay man now often. life is too short not too laugh.
Have you heard about your son jacky
He’s a gay man now
😂 Did you have your suspicions that he was a gay?
You failed ur son
@@Mr_PigeonMan There are more pressing things to worry about than who sleeps with whom and what they get up to behind closed doors. You need to re think your priorities
I bet she showers her son with more love daily than you get in a year. Probably explains why you're a miserable troll to people online
We still use the quote ‘Aye, what of it?’ I love that everyone just accepts that John is gay without any hesitation. Totally contradicting the expected response! Your reactions are priceless. Catherine Tate is a national treasure here in the UK. 🇬🇧🇺🇸❤️
The overlying joke for the sketch is that stereotyping gays as being into _feminine_ things, even while not being judgemental, can be viewed as just as offensive as a lack of support. At least that's how I read it.
Love cath tate....but julia davies destroys me....
@@pooroldfred Let's settle up now, otherwise it'll just get nasty.
The setting is deliberately evoking the times of 'The Troubles' in Northern Ireland. A time of hardline attitudes on both sides, whether Catholic/Republican or Protestant/Loyalist. There were political murals marking territory and people in both communities serving jail time for various terrorist offences. The communities at the heart of the conflict were particularly dogmatic, hard-faced and uncompromising and 'the other' was demonised. This parody is genius. Especially as it's deliberately non-specific, so could be either side. The accent just adds to it it, lol. A place and period renowned for intolerance, displaying pure acceptance. :)
Given there was a mural of Will Young I would suggest it was after the troubles.
very well put - this is pt 1 of 2 parts, in this first one I'd say 90% Protestant (the obvious accent inflection, Dad is modelling a British battle tank, boys watching English football), Part 2 though they have a Catholic Priest - plays to all audiences beautifully as a metaphor against intolerance
Fair enough, but I wouldn't call it non-specific, as the music in the final scene sounds like 'The Sash my Father Wore', a Protestant Orange song about the Battle of the Boyne etc.
@@jumpjet777 agreed, the first part is evidently a Protestant family (by cultural references, but in part 2 their family priest is a Father attracted to the son)
@@scotthooton7478 Thanks, I wasn't aware of a 2nd part, for some reason I haven't seen it. I have only seen the scenes shown in this video. Cheers
Catherine was also a serious actress in Dr Who
She was funny in dr who at times, like when she finds the dr again and there’s that hilarious scene in the adipose episode, and at the same time the way her story ended had me sobbing. She also bought some empathy and humanity to the dr in the ep set in Ancient Rome, and her bond with the ood
Yes, she was his very companion of course. She was the perfect companion for David's Doctor. They both have such fun personalities that work perfectly together. They were an iconic duo. It was probably the best period in modern Who. Period. lol It was just horrible how their companionship came to an end. They really make them so heartbreaking. Now i feel like re-watching the show from where Catherine's introduced. Also i stopped watching after Capaldi. It's just not DW anymore.
Northern Irelanders are staunchly fierce defenders of religious beliefs, hence what makes this sooo funny.
I'm from Northern Ireland, my coming out wasn't as positive! But you two are so cute, it made my heart smile. 💚🤍🧡
Sorry about that. I hope that things are better now.
NI here too, and I'm still worried to 'come out' in the Province in 2023.😔
@@gaggymott9159 no one can force you to come out, it's when you feel comfortable to do so. It is a big step, I know, especially here. Only if you feel OK, or with someone you trust and feel you can be yourself with. I'm here if you need an ear.
@@cocteaut Thank you, Stuart. It's not easy, I find.....
That was probably too positive. A case of good intentions leading to a bad outcome. "Ah but John!" I remember talking about this sketch once before and it was when she says "Well Rosemary!" "Well Kathleen!" That's how you greet friends? What do you say to enemies? I was assured by Northern Irish people that it was an entirely accurate depiction. But I'm sorry you didn't get the support when you came out. This is entirely the wrong sort of support here but it's probably better than the alternative.
Watch Harry Enfield gay son. It’s funny af.
Dawn French,Jennifer Saunders & Joanna Lumley … Seriously ingenious all of these ladies!!! Love Jennifer Saunders & Joanna Lumley in absolutely fabulous x
Oh yes
Haha u guys r hilarious! I’m from Belfast, Northern Ireland where this accent is supposed to be from. She almost got it. She got all the sayings right like ‘well’, ‘so it is’ etc. love that u guys love this! Haha. Our John is a gay man now hahaha.
Belfast ive walked them streets in the mid 80s ive seen first hand what the Provos do to gays and other people
@@notmodeling8070 Of the two communities, you'd be better off gay in a republican area. Take Derry for example. Generally it is the fire and brimstone areas where there are bible verses written on walls that you'd best avoid.
This is hilarious!! I'm a gay man in Australia and have had some funny experiences from my straight mates LOL I was waiting for the stereotypical question, "Do my new curtains match my lounge?" LOL
Fellow aussie 🙌
We say 'does the carpet match the drapes?' In uk
@@minoumcduff5727 We definitely do not say 'drapes' in the UK. Drapes is American - we say curtains! The common UK equivalent is 'Do her collar and cuffs match?'
This sketch is set in the Northern Irish "loyalist" community, who are not known for socially liberal or progressive ideas, the humour is in the extremity of the unexpected response from the boy's mother and community (and the paramilitaries who show up, not to deliver a punishment beating but to ask if their boots go with their turned-up jeans). It is a bit codified by context but is generally funny nonetheless.
The sketch doesn’t suggest they are loyalist or republican at all.
so catholics are socially liberal and progressive? 🤣
@@justinbieberlake5635 Funny concept Justin. Obviously the catholic church in N.Ireland has always been pretty identical to its protestant/presbyterian counterparts on social policies. However, the republican movement - at least left wing parts thereof - tended to argue a more socially liberal/progressive position - or maybe they just paid lip service in that direction. Either way, I concluded the clip was set in the loyalist community (protestant, if you like, both the protestant and presbyterian churches and loyalist politicos are socially conservative) based on the choice of music for the pseudo-pride march at the end. The distinction I made was between loyalists and republicans, not protestant and catholics. Interesting how, when discussing even a comedy clip set in N.Ireland, there isn't even agreement about whether the divide was religious or political! Cheers.
@@phylk4683 The music does!
@@paulmahon123 a British tv comedy sketch set in NI featuring diddly-eye music… ah cmon. There’s no need to think this sketch is republican or loyalist. It’s funny is what it is - a mother from NI who faces life with a black or white mindset… she takes up the mantle of gay rights, is hilarious. Just laugh. 😂🍀🫶🏼
Good job hanging in there with the Northern Irish accent! As a Scot, we're constantly told we can't be understood, so we'll see if the Boomerites/angs can fathom this one ...? A guy in a cake shop asks, "is that a doughnut or a meringue?" Answer: "No, you're correct ...it's a doughnut!"
Did you say "doughnut" or am ah wrang?
@@badgerboyboogie And the winner is ...!! 👏You can never be wrong being "wrang!" Sorry if my puzzle caused any subscribers 'Boomerangst?'😁
Took a time, but eventually got it! From London.
Hi King & Queen.I'm not one for exaggerating so please take note of Catherine Tate as gay Derek all scenes 16mins.You won't believe you're eyes at the amazing make up & character.Its so good u wouldn't know it was her.All the best.
Definitely better when it's both of you. I think the attraction is seeing a couple laugh together. Anyway, good stuff.
if you enjoy Catherine tate then you will absolutely love NaN...
it's so.funny and so popular they have just realised Nan the movie.
it's currently at cinema in the UK.
Keep up the top reactions
Much love, health and happiness to everyone in the USA from England 😄👍
The Fast Show is probably what you saw.
A series of brilliant,short sketches with characters you come to love and imitate.
Here’s one that will baffle you but if you watch TFS,it will become a catchphrase like it was for all of us here in Blighty.
Ooh,…..suits you sir.
"Milky milky"😂😂😂😂❤🇬🇧
I agree. I was thinking that too.
Search out Kathy Burke for her solo stuff and teamed up with Harry Enfield, look for "The Slobs" and "Kevin & Perry", you wont regret it
Perry returning from Manchester ,hilarious.
Kathy burke is a legend, her as Perry is so believable and also as Linda in Ginmee, gimmee, gimmee'
Catherine Tate Nan is my fav! She's an amazing character. There's a Nan film too!
Great reaction!! It's safe to say if I knew you we would probably hang out.
Love you guys laid back, funny chemistry. And appreciation of British style humour
This is a satire on working class Northern Irish families. They have a reputation for being very "hard".
Kathy Burke is great guy’s, not sure if you’ve seen her stuff definitely worth a watch! x
Yes her in "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme".
@@wagonsworld9592 yeah & teamed up with Harry Enfield, Kevin & Perry she’s a legend…
@@vikkib6337 I also love her in the film "Love, honour and obey". Xx
@@wagonsworld9592 I’ve not seen, I’ll have a look now. Ty for the heads up! xx
@@vikkib6337 you are very welcome, it's a funny but dark at times, also stars Jude Law and Ray Winstone and others you may know, enjoy xxx
I love how you went off topic for half the video😆 but I still think you're my new 'reacts' favourite ☺️
watch hale and pace.....the management....and billy and johnny...will have you in tears
Russell howard fancy dress funeral is a must watch funny and uplifting
THIIIIISSSSSSS! 👍👍👍
Nothing Russell Howard does is funny
A Mexican friend, the youngest of five, told his mother he was gay. She said "So you are the one I get to KEEP?" LOL She complained about "losing" the other four to wives
How sweet 😊
That’s both sweet and funny😂
Has anyone mentioned the Derek character from Catherine's show?! We're gay and we endorse it! 🤣🤣💕
How very dare you. Great Character 👍
@@jaynekittycat9252 who dear, me dear...
Gay dear, me dear, No dear😂
Catherine Tate is a great comedian.
Comedienne
"Nan" & "Lauren Cooper" are perhaps Catherine Tate's most famous characters, check them out!
Catherine Tate is amazing ! , also brilliant in Dr Who as well !
I was howling at this, the game of thrones bit, the catherine taint, my belly is literally killing me.
I guess there IS such a thing as "too supportive" after all lmao
You have to be British or Irish to get this one fully.
It's set in northern Ireland (not Ireland) during what looks like a parody of the 1980s. The troubles were in full swing back then. That was a time in Northern Ireland when the country was experiencing a proxy civil war. Two sides of the community at war essentially over whether Northern Ireland should reunite with Ireland or stay seperate in the UK.
Northern Ireland was deeply religious back then and suffering a lot. Hence the scene has a dark, grimey, crime feel to it. The march at the end is a parody of the marches both communities used to do. One side marching for Irish unification and the other for loyalty to the Queen. Hence the music playing.
But it is instead a gay pride march but has the grimey and dark feel of the marches from the troubles which is nothing like the colorful inviting atmosphere of a pride parade.
It's just taking the p*ss out of 1970s/80s Northern Ireland by showing it though the lens of a gay character lol. A place once known as the most dangerous and divided place in Europe (Northern Ireland, UK) canshowing love and acceptance instead. Even the mural at the end is a parody of murals they used to paint to show you were leaving a place that was more pro unification into a place anti unification.
Ps, just so you know Ireland isn't like this today lol. Ireland is very modern and gay friendly. But Northern Ireland shown here is still in the UK not part of Ireland, but it's troubled past is behind it.
The last song while they were marching was The Sash- a Unionist (=Protestant pro-British) song, and the joke is the incongruity of culturally conservative Unionist traditions with the gay agenda.
Game of thrones in the middle of this great Catherine Tate sketch???!!!shows how invested in this humour you really are.
You are both great, amazing reactions... so glad I've recently subscribed... I would def recommend the Catherine Tate drunk bride.. Would love to see both your reactions 😂
Do Sarah Millican “having a boyfriend” to start with! She does standup and observational comedy and has a lot of crowd participation! Do it with queen boomer, you will die laughing at her reactions! 😂
@Soul of a robot oh I think they will. He’s been doing great so far with accents. Better than some other numpties on CZcams! 😂
One of the most boring people ever.
Catherine Tate is brilliant!
Look for “Nan goes to Anger Management”. It’s amazing! Look for the longer clip. I’ll try and find you a link
I love that your doing Catherine tate lol you should check out more of her comedy she's hilarious 😂
It is catlyn stark . She is from Belfast. ( accent) she was in suits , and 24 ( as the villain)
Around that time London taxis had a service called Cabvision, it was mainly adverts news and adverts but clips were used from certain TV shows.
I don't remember seeing any comedy shows, but being in London, and they did have (BBC) Top Gear clips, it might have been (BBC) Live At The Apollo to promote the (London) venue and theatre/shows in general.
The “Nan” videos are great. Sarah Millican is perhaps the only woman I’ve seen be funny in stand-up, and she’s genuinely very good. “Women, know your limits” by Harry Enfield, and “Gay Son” are great. The best recommendation I’ve seen in your comments is for Russell Howard’s “funeral costume” stand up routine - watch it with your missus.
Harry Enfield is a genius, same as CT, they depict the vast array of people in the UK so accurately and hilariously. I really can't stand Sarah Millican, but each to their own. I have recommended Bob mortimer on 'would i lie to you' and also to check out 'shooting stars' its still hilarious now and unlike anything else I've seen. Vic reeves and Bob are just so funny, they don't even have to speak. Same with Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse, we have so much quality comedy in the UK, it really is hard to pick and choose which ones to suggest.
Victoria Wood
Julie Walters.
Harry Enfield and chums was genius.
Think Russell Howard is shite tho
I love the GoT segway! xD That show was so good and then crashed so bad, that it still lights up like wildfire whenever it is mentioned.
I think queen boomer was possibly thinking of “the fast show”. That was everywhere about 10 years ago and full of amazing sketches. Definitely one for you to watch 👍 👑
Fast show was more like about 20 years ago, wasn’t it?
@@Howling-Mad-Murdock true but don’t forget most channels over here repeat stuff to death and it defiantly matches her description.
@@OMA_MetalDetecting I’d love to watch them react to the bit that has Ted and his mates playing the drinking game and the lord of the manor type comes in to tell him something.
czcams.com/video/CjM89wRMY9I/video.html
@@Howling-Mad-Murdock that would be CZcams gold !!
dont u guys jus LOVE
Catherine Tate! watch the "I CAN DO THAT" episode where she tbinks she can play tennis.. HILARIOUS!
Catherine does a great Belfast accent.
You both HAVE to watch "Women know your limits" that's gonna be uncomfortable reaction
Catherine Tate's Nan movie has just premiered in the UK.
Hey, fun video, first time visitor here! ;) There were some sketch shows at the beginning of the naughties like Smack the Pony, Titty Bang Bang, 3 Non Blondes and Miss Jocelyn, along side Little Britain (which some of hasn't aged very well to be fair..) And of course the inimitable French and Saunders, the brains behind Absolutely Fabulous... check them out if you haven't seen them! All the best from the UK!
I'm subscribing now over 2 months after you posted this. I'm then going to see if she watched and did a reaction to the final ep of "Game of Thrones". I'm sure that would be HILARIOUS!!!!!
Haha cool that you did this one, so few have reached to it and it soooo funny 😂
..but have to say wtf was with that long ass game of thrones bit in the middle?!
Check out Harry Enfield(the dad in this) - Woman Know Your Limits. It's utterly hilarious.
Harry Enfield the dad ?
No way is it H, E.
That's not Harry Enfield, but a good suggestion to watch
I think the show she maybe thinking of is “The Fast Show”.
It's set in the loyalist/protestant community of Northern Ireland who have a habit of having 'Orange marches' every July 12th to commemorate a King called Billy who won a battle at the river Boyne in 1690. They do this by lighting fires made of wooden pallets and car tyres and generally destroying their community.
YAY!! I WAS THE ONE WHO SUGGESTED BOOMERANGS!! I GOT A MENTION, I'M FAMOUS :)
Queen Boomer might be thinking of The Fast Show. Actually Johnny Depps favourite show, he was in a sketch too, Called 'ooh suits you sir'
That sketch is actually quite a bit longer, and some of the missing bits are hilarious. Hope you can get to see the rest of it
7:00 - That is not the actress who portrayed Catyln Stark.
Hi guys you got to check out Sean....,R.i.p. Met him before he was a comic..so when he goes to a country park and go for a cream tea....one line will level you😂😂😂😂Grant...
Forgot about this sketch! Classy! 🤣👍
Another great reaction your majesty 👏
Coming from Northern Ireland this is just great love it
Thanks I needed a Laugh! Be made Blissful everyone!
Definitely need to watch the nan ones, especially the one with the guy who has a hand prosthesis.
Have you seen the one where the psycho investigator, that breaks out into the song Brass In My Pocket... CZcams search, Catherine Tate Nuts Detective HD Part 1
I think she’s thinking about The Mash Report - it’s an SNL style show and hilarious. Stars Ellie Taylor who plays Sassy in Ted Lasso.
I came for Catherine Tate and got Game of Thrones.....Two for the price of one, what a channel, what a couple!!
This woman is fucking very,very,VERY funny!👌😍😂🤣
As Americans, are you familiar with the expression Woolly Woofter? That's where that comes from. I suspect it might be cockney.
Like Apples and Pears For Stairs.
Don't know for certain though.
If you're after new/old comedy to watch, have a look at 'Harry Enfield and Chums'.. Lots and lots of characters to enjoy :D
Best wishes from Wales.
shes done a film in the nan character, its actually a lot better than i thought. its quite deep
Catherine Tate is a sketch based comic - a very good one - been quiet for a while now
Cat Stark actress also play Hermione's mum in Harry Potter.
Did you ever watch Boemerang? It's very very old but I could watch that a 100 times in a row and still cry laughing.
Coming up what a wonderful choice of words 🤣🤣☺
The Northern Irish accent is very significant in these scits. The Irish loyalists are against gays so it adds some tension to the scit.
the 2 lads on the sofa are just mates watching football
Keep it the way it is otherwise I will get confused and miss your posts 🏴🏴🏴
Live at the Apollo is maybe the show from taxi time
I had a feeling this might turn into a Game Of Thrones discussion 🤣.
Oh and to my fellow Boomerangs, Top Gear/The Grand Tour anyone?
This is the first time I've Seen Catherine Tate do this sketch... its funny and glad it was enjoyed by yourselves. Sometimes I feel that Americans do not get English humour as it can be a little sarcastic (my sense of humour and not everyone likes it, but hey ho !!) I think that you would enjoy the sketches as the Nan much better. She plays the old Londoner old lady with a cockney accent, and of course as you get older you get away with saying so much more.. because you're OLD.. when you do manage to watch it ENJOY.
I grew up knowing lots of 'nans' her portrayal is hilariously accurate.
Was that series called Little Britain ?
The Catherine Tate Show - The Enigmatic Cop... The Best Sketch I've seen on the Catherine Tate Show Forsure
Harry Enfield and Kathy Burke - as Wayne and Waynetta 👍
Harry Enfield as 'Nice but dim Tim'
This is a great sketch!
You too are good together good vibes. We demand both of you😂
I’d totally forgotten, as kids in Aus, we got call Baby Boomers, well I did lol. U are still talking, love Tate, she’s as mad as March hare - whatever that means😂
Catherine Tate's agent sent her a song I wrote called Just Like Nan (on Catherine Tate) I was pleased she heard it, mum rip now.
They tried to cancel her!
I never stop laughing at this one 🤣
You should watch the second part of the gay son with Catherine Tate, a different actor playing John but still very funny.
I've been to catholic weddings in Ireland where the bride and groom have their 2 and 4 year old children along, the congregation is a mix of hetro and gay couples and everyone gets along just fine.
never seen this skit before thanks
she got a movie out of the character she does (Nan) ( nan the movie it called)
have you seen the christmas skit were she is visited by the 3 ghost of christmas (based on scooged its very funny)
david tennant an actor she worked with when she worked on Dr. who is the ghost of christmas present
LOVE anything Catherine Tate does, she's the Queen of Personality's!! watch her do the character 'Nan', you'll piss yourself.. LOL
Nan are the best ones to watch, funniest woman on British T.V.
Try ‘Not the 5 o’clock news’. Had rowan Atkinson in it. Absolute belter!
Nan is my favourite character from Catherine Tate show
That Mitchell and Webb Look
Did you know there's a part 2 to this?
Your so right about game of thrones. The show built Danny up to be the hero and she was just another dictator. I loved it.
Yes it is Michele Fairley (Caitlan Stark) My wifes cousin
You should look up an English program called Love thy Neighbor, back in the 70s. Bloody hilarious
