I almost died when Philipe asked Lillian "What's she saying?" LOL
a trick: you can watch movies at Flixzone. I've been using them for watching a lot of movies lately.
@Bryan Davian yup, have been watching on Flixzone} for since november myself :D
This is how every normal person reacts to this. I hate the ones who act like they’re offended. This was so funny, especially watching you two do impressions of other languages 😂
The way you get the British sense of humour is brilliant 👍
Yep, most Yankees dont
@@brianfinnegan664What I'll never understand is why you smug elitist Brits think there's something special about British humor that is hard for us to understand. You have the exact same humor everyone else has. Subversion of expectations, disrupting conventions, incongruity/absurdity, slapstick, bedpan, malapropisms, norm violation, self deprecation, puns, jokes, anti-jokes, musical comedy, sketches, body humor, standup...
Am I missing some? How about the magical special secret British style of humor nobody seems to be able to name or describe?
See, this American understands humor a lot better than you do. A lot of us "Yankees" are way smarter than you give us credit for, and a lot of you Brits are way less smart than you give yourselves credit for.
I'm from Australia, both of my parents emigrated to Australia many years ago. Catherine's mimicking of the Italian language and mannerisms was very funny and true. I was absolutely not offended. If Catherine Tate did the same skit now, she would be burnt at the stake.
This is why I get my knickers in a twist over people who rage against stereotypes, because they exist and are just a fact of life. Sometimes humorously so and we all know them.
they are the way we navigate the world... agree with you 100%
It's all about being able to laugh at yourself due to stereotypes. Does that make sense?
If someone takes away stereotypes then you take away the culture of an entire race.
Not all stereotypes are good. But in comedy it works.
I never realised I could be a interpreter because I can speak all these languages to a similar level
I've never looked at it that way .... I too can speak all those languages
So can I...😂😂😂
Well, I can do that...!
One thing you missed about this character is that whenever there is a problem she always says " I can do that"--but she can't!
Now that's what I call a positive thinker. 😁😂
That's the British laughing at themselves , nothing racist there . Love it .
Makes you wonder though if with the recent cancel culture it'll be removed.
@@Matt19matt19 u cant remove anything off the internet ,once on the internet always on the internet
@Johnny Beer yep, we are just laughing at our language skills lol 😂
"That's the British laughing at themselves"
Nope - that's the British laughing at Foreign Stereotypes, and in an entirely HARMLESS way. It does NOT mean that Auschwitz is about to be re-established as a going concern. It's BEYOND hight time that we stopped being so defensive about such matters. The ONLY people who would object are soulless, humourless BORES...................and who cares about THEM ?
marvinc999 It’s both. The joke is at the expense of Catherine Tate’s character’s lack of foreign language skills, which is itself a stereotype about British people not bothering to learn foreign languages.
I have seen this sketch a few times before today, but I still cry with laughter.
That was brilliant, thank you for brightening my day.
hahaha fantastic reaction guys 🤣 thank you for having a sense of humour!!
This is how it should be, we should all love and be able to laugh at each others quirks and differences. Embrace them.
Hi Lillian & Felipe, I think, Catherine was basing her Swedish on the Swedish Chef from the Muppets tv show.
Fun fact: In Sweden he is known as the Norwegian Chef and most Swede's are surprised to find out that he is called the Swedish Chef everywhere else.
I wish I could find the outtakes for this scene because it took them ages. They couldn't stop laughing.
I love her little humble grin when she convinced her boss of her "talents"
Well done for getting this just in time. They are about to throw Catherine Tate into Bristol docks and this video will be removed.
Along with you two for finding it funny.
The world needs more people like you two.
@@johnshaw5277 yeah, that's why Lee Francis has felt the need to apologise before the woke, bleeding hearts with no sense of law and order try to ruin his career. Got in there with an apology before they start up.
I can't see the Bristol docks becoming as infamous as Boston Harbour.
All the actors managed to keep a straight face, except the African man who was obviously trying not to laugh 🤣
You both have superb Italian accents.. bravissimo ! 🙌
You're so right, to speak any language properly requires full understanding of inflection of that country..
This sketch made me laugh as hard as you did 😂
This needs to be encapsulated in a time capsule before gets cancelled.
We need to cancel the cancellers!
British stereotyping at its finest.
To anyone offended by this just remember that the target of the joke is "Helen Marsh" and not the foreigners.
It is self deprecating humour at its best.
This video was SO funny - I don't know who I laughed most at ... you Feilipe or Catherine Tate. I think this skit was in the early 2000's and I can just imagine what the woke or BBC would think ... they would burst with indignation and have it pulled down immediately ..... such a shame, what ARE they doing to our country. (sorry to bring politics into this, but the subject is VERY topical at the moment). Thank you Lilian and Felipe for bringing us much joy ..... 💖💖
Well said !
It was even later than that (mid 2000s). Things have changed for the worse in such a short period of time.
Very true. You won’t find Catherine Tate on BBC iPlayer since their purge on material that might be “offensive” earlier this year.
You made my day, love your reactions and welcome to UK 💕 🙏
“TEFL” is the acronym for Teaching English as a Foreign Language, or simply, English language instruction for non-native speakers.
She’s so hilarious! I have watched this 20 plus times. Still laughing 😂
Great reaction, i was in stitches laughing at Felipe laughing :)
wow I am the 4th responder, enjoyed it love your reactions ( Mary Hopkins those were the days )
I liked when she's supposed to she speaking Chinese he says "what's she saying?"
I’m so glad you also saw “Mind Your Language” - another superb English comedy moment!
The point of the sketch is that this character appears throughout the series - she continually says she can do things she can't
She is funny not offensive...
In a world of such sadness it’s so refreshing to see you take this video with a pinch of salt. It’s good to laugh at each other’s countries stereotypes and take it as how it’s meant to come across as simply a joke! Love Catherine Tate. Yeah Swedish is a language and very hard to learn believe me I’ve tried🤣great video😘😘
Brilliant review! Hope you're all well!
Really enjoy watching your posts
Subscribed because I love your ability to think independently and are both smart. 👍🏻
Absolutely fantastic! Love it. 💕
Hi guys. Firstly congratulations to you for the birth of your youngest child Winston. Re the sketch, I have translated on a few occasions at international conferences, and it is the most nervewracking and exhausting experience imaginable, so hats off to all "serious" translators, yet I'm smiling at the sketch because there is always the temptation to mimick people's accents.
Am crying laughing here,i need to watch it again lol,you 2 are so funny, made my day.
I really enjoy watching your videos they make me really happy and keep up the good work and I am a big fan of your videos and your videos are fantastic and I have allso subscribed to your channel and I am watching from new Zealand 🇳🇿
‘What’s she saying’ 😆 that made me laugh
I'm surprised this sketch hasn't been cancelled already. I nearly die laughing every time I watch it. It's not actually about racial or national stereotyping, it's about exaggerating the characteristics of different languages as a reflection of their culture. I think it is simple and brilliant.
It was so nice to see you guys taking the sketches as they were intended - humour, although this has been twisted and turned into such a negative . You should watch Goodness gracious me , especially the going out for an english and the brief encounter sketches they are absolutely priceless and such a joy to to laugh with.
I fear humour has become so politicised and I recently went a glee club of up and coming comics and it was pretty dire and embarrassing to see so many people dying (metaphorically) on stage . The left and political correctness have deplatformed and sanitised so much that anything risky is no longer attempted. Great video guys and great family ❤️
One of the funniest skit’s I’ve ever seen!😂😂😂
Likewise to Jane, so glad we can all laugh together and we are very lucky to have you here.
Thank you, really enjoyed your genuine reactions. ;-)
I loved it that you both found it so funny, I thought it was brilliant too.
Just loved this and only Felipe laughed more than me. Sadly as pointed out by many here, this type of thing along with others will all go in a very quick time as tolerance is in fact disappearing as opposed to what we are told that it is growing.
Never seen that before. That was bloody funny.
Good to see you looking well Lilian. Congratulations to you both
When felippe said ... What is she saying about the chinese lady... Had me some belly laughs after that one. Peace and love to the family.
We love languages, can’t wait to hear her translate just started to watch the video, know how it ends up and can’t wait to see the reaction.
Loved your reaction to this sketch , taken in the spirit for which it was meant.
Lillian is correct it’s funny and silly, not meant to be offensive.
there are British accents that reflect various waves of historical settlement/invasion-my accent(Yorkshire)can be linked or compared to German,northeast/geordie to Swedish/Danish,and Scottish to Norweigian;there's probably other examples too
If you are a Scouser you can pick up the German language very quickly. i.e. Dis, Dat, Does and De udders. ( P.S. I was born in Liverpool ....before someone has a go at me )
I have not seen this one before
I think I will go to hell for laughing at this 😂
I remember watching this when it was first on! I was 9 or something like that! Hilarious, I love Catherine Tate.
You guys are swesome x much love x

What a cool outro music. That's refreshing.
LOVED this reaction!
“Wa gwan batty boy” means what’s going on? Pretty sure batty boy is a slang/slur for a homosexual 😂. You made me laugh as much as Catherine did
Think you are right. Philipe won't be using that word again.😂
@@annacrowley7426 yea it means gay boy 😂
Also, I'm pretty sure 'Waah gwaan' is Jamaican.
You are hilarious. Loving you all.
Excellent hilarious British humour, I love it 🤣
A british joke from a few years back, about how the Chinese 'sound' when speaking, as like a bag of spanner's being tipped out onto a hard floor.
Ouch, lol! Or as my brother once told me, Chinese sounds like all the bass has been removed. 😆
I love you two!!! 😍😍😍
You enjoyed this one😁 and so did I😄thank you 🤗
You two are great 😂
This is such a classic
Great reactions as ever guys,
I've seen 'allo 'allo - I don't think this lady can speak French at all
Best answer ever lol
This is one of my favourite sketches of all time. Just pure comedy, no pretence.
Miss you guys
Super sweet x
You must know swedish chef from the muppets? This was spot on.
I have pick Katherine up from the National Theatre, she is a really nice family person, mini cab driver Friendly. Chris London England.
You made me happy guys life is still spectacular
I missed the German language. And Dutch/Flemish which is the same. I am half Dutch/English. And the language sounds quite guttural. I enjoy your singing Lillian. And I follow you faithfully. Cheers!
Beautiful family ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Brilliant response

Enjoyed guys nicely done....I'm not sure it would fly today🤔 but it's not racist jus fooling around. Comedy you can joke bout anything right? Congrats on your new addition!!
Catherine obviously poking fun at stereotypes, the funniest part was the guy playing the African minister really struggling to hold in the laughter or the chairperson with his head in his hand realising she hadn’t got a clue and was just stereotyping , this must have been great fun to make.
Funny video, good to see you enjoying it. ("batty boy" is a slang term for a homosexual, in case you didn't know, btw. )
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I know
Glad that you realised that this was comedic. I found your take on Tate's "Nan" to be offensive. The thing that made me a lot of laughs was your wife's asking if Swedish was even a language!! We get our Swedish inflection from the "Cookie Monster" by Jim Henson. I speak four modern languages & took ten years of Latin. This was mainly the interpreter's stereotypes of other cultures.
One of my favorite Catherine Tate skits besides when Lauren gets married.
"Grosso Stronso", my Italian mates assure me that it means Good day. They wouldn't lie to me.
Love Catherine Tait. Extremely funny.
SO FUNNY I had not seen that one..There is a chip shop near me run buy a chinese family and the mum always say "SAW FINGER" to English people who she knows are new to the shop..It's funny watching their faces as they try to make out what she is saying without being or sounding rude or dumb..Some get it fast but others just stand there with a gormless look on their faces, until she lets them of the hook by holding up the salt pot and saying "SAAAW FINNNGER" slowly...salt/vinegar
In about 10 years time this will be frowned upon!
I love that you're able to laugh so easily at this :D I wish everyone was able to appreciate the humour is not mocking those races/people but mocking Catherine Tate's character for being such an idiot that she thinks she's being understood.
Since you've lived in the UK a while now, I wonder how you'd react to a fellow American causing a storm in the UK recently by showing us all how to make a cup of tea :D

Perfect response. I’m sick of people who can’t laugh or tell the difference between disrespect and comedy.
Glad you guys find this humour what it exactly is supposed to be and that's funny,,, in the crazy world we are living in just now it's great to see this, we all do it and its never in a racist way,
that was a great reaction
Did Felipe REALLY say 'wahgwaan battybwoy"??!! Lol!!! If you know, you know
Battyboy... Jamaicans explained that one to me.
Refreshing to still see people who appreciate comedy 🙏where no offence is intended. We all need to stop taking everything so seriously
Check out the British airmen by Armstrong and Miller.
Mikyama liliyana so sweetly said
You two prove Americans do have a sense of humour , respect
Catherine is amazing
Nice to see you have a sense of humour and not offended by iit. Too many people are offended
May I suggest any Catherine Tate sketch as her character 'Nan' a great laugh
I swear to god the actors playing the other countries must have been pissing themselves while filming. Even the guy that reps for Africa is rocking a smile at the end, and I am guessing he cracked up and laughed after she finished.
Nothing to be offended by just comedy. Hilarious.
I’m laughing my head off
