@@knotkool1 The main meaning of "funny" is, expressing the comic wit (e.g., dramatized incongruities) to make people laugh. By that criterion Tracy is uber, epic funny. The secondary meaning of "funny" is odd, peculiar, e.g., coincidental; Jody Hughes did not mean this sense.

You're 100% right. At this point in time, she's simply in a league of her own. I rarely say this (about anyone living!), but I think she's a certifiable genius.
Someone recently said "We are in the midst of a tragedy, and trying to treat it with comedy - and it's not working." So yeah, I get where you are coming from. On the other hand, comedy "speaks the truth" in a way that makes people more willing and able to hear it sometimes. So there is kind of a conflict here.
The most powerful and effective tool for bringing down any kind of dictator is the one thing they're terrified of, because it busts their mystique . . . ridicule.
I find it interesting that in American culture, as seen from an Australian perspective ,that American sit coms show an unrealistic lifestyle ,such as the show Friends for example ,live an unrealistic lifestyle while the cartoon shows such as The Simpsons and Family Guy show the real conundrums of American society. A quote I remember was , you can tell the biggest lies to Americans and they will love you unconditionally but they hate being told the truth.
@@romandybala There's an element of truth in that. There's certainly PLENTY wrong with my country, the USA. But if you moved here, you'd find just how critical we are of ourselves - a lot of it expressed through our drama and literature. It's our Puritan streak to constantly be beating ourselves up, and let's face it, we came into existence on the basis of protest, demonstrations, and argument. Just ask the British. But from an American perspective, and possibly to answer your question, what Americans see is that quite often, folks of other nations who are quite vociferous in pointing out to us everything we're doing wrong, are not equally as forthcoming in discussing - or listening to - what's wrong with their own country. America- bashing is always in vogue, and it can get old. Just an observation from a Yank.
Tracey Ullman is absolutely incredible! Hilariously funny, very clever, fantastic actress, astonishingly good singer and dancer! Can you imagine that I didn’t even know her until I stumbled upon her here on YT recently? WHY is she so underrated?!? She is brilliant!
I have watched her for years, I'm talking years when she used to do the skits on the Asian lady selling the donuts freaking hilarious, the black lady at the airport oh my God she is a talent like no other she can play any character and does it spot on she needs to be recognized for what she is one of the greatest ...
Uh...not really. It's not wrong, per say, but it sounds a bit forced and overpronounced. It's more of a good impression of an American accent, it isn't a natural one. The intonations on certain syllables are exaggerated. If she went around speaking to Americans like that they would think she talks really weird.
@@joejones9520They should have made a gender swap reboot of Mrs Doubtfire with Tracey Ullman. With a good prosthetic makeup and a nice story she would have been brilliant in that role.
For those who didn't know, Tracey Ullman started of as a singer. She did some covers of 60s classics but she had a great voice and the music videos are still hilarious. I can't break away They don't know about us Move over darling
The look on the one guys face when the dude portraying Harvey Weinstein said "I always have meetings in hotel rooms, " was priceless. I laughed so hard, my sides still hurt lol
Don't know who he was portraying, but he said, "If HARVEY can be taken down ..." So Weinstein is already accounted for (0:30) ALL the rats are running off that ship!

@@Dr.SkunkNuts You probably don’t have a sense of humour. I find it quite funny and I’ve been the victim of sexual harassment, having had a couple men grope me inappropriately in workplace environments, making me fearful for my safety. Wouldn’t happen now. They wouldn’t survive the encounters. Also, I’m not as cute at 52. Still pretty cute though…
What a turn around, I used to find her so annoying but she really nails these characters now, what a talent. Love her Dame Judy Dench and Maggie Smith.
The Tracey Ullman show is on, either Netflix, Hulu or Amazon, I have all 3 and I can't remember which one. But I am SO excited to watch it again! It's been decades!!!!
I adore Tracy Ullman...first time I worked with her in the 80s. She us a real pro and does her own grocery shopping...at Chalet Gourmet. Brilluant talent.🙏

@@moonlily1 If she's trying to sound like Barbra Streisand, Streisand's (original, when young, and in her film Fanny Brice portrayals) accent is almost a caricature of the Brooklyn NY accent, exaggerated for comic effect.

I recognized that first guy that starts talking: it's the very talented in his own right, Michael Brandon. He used to do tv and movies. Now he does stage plays, voice overs for children's productions and still tv. If anyone here doesn't know who he is, just Google him. Btw, he was one hell of a handsome man in his day.

Incredible woman... One of the most talented comedians I have watched
This woman is nothing short of AMAZING! Immensely talented. Love her work!!!
Uh
Really? Some of her other work I’ve seen is ok but this sketch stinks.
Funny funny lady! 👍😂
She deserves recognition from our media for her biting comedy. She has always been the best.
Courageous too. The way this sketch ends is a good example. Tracey never goes for the cheap storyline.

Some American actors have weird accents. They don't sound like real Americans.
Not to mention her German accent when she plays Angela Merkel 🤣🤣🤣

Bravo! Watched it 3 times already. Excellent acting! I've been a fan of Tracy since the 80s.
I'm glad Tracy has Lucy Montgomery working with her...We dont see much of her over in the U.K...So glad to see her in such a brilliant show!
That was Barbara Streisand....Love Tracey Ullman ! she is fantastic !!!!! the best we have......

Leave it to Tracey Ullman to cut right to the heart of the matter.
Too short...it was just getting accurately good.

That main guy always plays Americans on British comedy shows. He was in a lot of Catherine Tate Show sketches 15 years ago.
Do you mean Michael Brandon perhaps ? He also played in Dempsey and Makepeace (British police serie), 1985.
