"Are razors expensive in frenchland? "😹
Lmao
XD
For some reason I heard 'raisins'
Emily Wells lmao that's exactly how we say france.
Franzoseland 😂🇨🇭
werid videosYT no shit
Technically she passed she still spoke French
Well, kind of... she knew one sentence and then had a couple of other sentences that were mixed french and english, and her pronunciation was pretty bad. But maybe it was an introductory language class and that would have been enough.
junbh2 or maybe its a TV show so who cares?
Josh D maybe ur a prick who has no sense of humour
George Darwent maybe you need to control your anger x
George Darwent but i dont think the reply to the comment was intended to be funny so idk why you bought humour into it lol
She keeps the perfect amount of English in this. Catherine Tate is fluent in French and could have done the entire thing in perfect French but she keeps just the perfect amount of her key-words - "bovvered" instead of "ennuye", "disrespecte" instead of "irrespect" etc - so that even people who know little-to-no French can still understand and enjoy it
also the fact shes playing a high school character who isnt at all fluent. she toned it down for the character too and used wrong words
Lauren is still the smartest student in that school. She just shows it in a strange, anger inducing way.
If you wanna ARKS me a question, ARKS me in english 😂😂😂

Catherine tate is a comic genius. I was roaring with laughter when she broke into the look at my face am I bothered in fluent french. Way to freshen up a routine.
Just beautiful.
The French teacher's British accent was highly noticeable when she said "slightest" lol those vowels always give it away 😂
i thought she must be British because of the grammar mistake right at the start.
Yes slightest gave it away

When you are French and you can see the teacher is absolutely not French it's even more funny
I bet English teachers in France are mostly not English though.
My French teacher was from Paris so I did have a French French teacher at school.
Aha you got a point my English teacher is German XD

C Gilman she did the French version of the Shakespearian rant she did in her David Tennant skit
I feel like she said "do you dare disrespect the house of Cooper?"
Lizzie Kilburn
She basically did lol, she just didn’t call it house cooper.
Lizzie Kilburn that’s the English class
Thanks, but I just watched it.
I love how she only does what the teacher technically wants her to when it’s exactly what’ll piss her off
How she doesn’t burst out laughing herself half way through that is beyond me
I knew she was gonna say "am I bovered but when she said it in French I just lost it 😂😂

I have no idea how the "teacher" can keep a straight face during Lauren's French rant. Renee! Renee! :D
Mike Hodgson she almost doesn’t! She’s on the edge of corpsing at least twice....
I wonder how many takes it took before they could all keep a straight face!
Doesn’t anyone wish they had a teacher like this if we did this we’ll get a straight detention 😂
The 1.2k dislikes are the French teachers in the world
TGArail15 same
I think maybe all teachers.
maybe because this was kind of very racist, I am just using the BBC guidelines for racism and language that should not be tolerated, since the BBC is so preoccupied with other people being racist, maybe they should apply the same principle to their own shows. they are the biggest hypocrites and promoters of racism hence the thumbs down.

I want to do this
jasmine haseldine I learned Spanish instead
She did pay attention.. That was all French.
Zindaydra the joke is she’s really smart but couldn’t give less of a shit
yeah "bothered" and "disrespectez" are totally French words.
@@Yamezzzz I didn't mean that part.. Smh
*This part:* 1:31
@@Zuernaxashyr "Regardez mon visage (X3) est-ce que je suis bothered?"
In an accent so bad most French people wouldn't even be able to decipher it unless they speak English.
"Regarde mon visage" It means look at my face🤣🤣
ook at the face; izzit bovvered? Are you disrespecting my family? Are you calling my Mum a Pikey? Are you calling my Dad a Gyppo? Look at my face, is it bovvered? (several times) Look at face, look at face, brother Jack, brother jack, a kilo of apples, a kilo of apples, Who is (something) what are they called? Ain't bothered.
When she got into the family part i died.

Why is there NO english subtitles I ain't a french oral
zodiac wolf I feel bad for you
Duo is coming
she says the same thing in every lauren cooper sketch
she has a very bad french though, i'm french and i didn't get everything...
zodiac wolf lol same I’m an English oral ask me in English 😂😂😂
She is basically just saying, "Am I bothered", "Are you calling my dad a pikey?", etc. You don't really need to understand French, as there's enough English in what she says. If you actually speak French it makes it harder, because her pronunciation is terrible.
She just threw Thierry Henry's name in her French monologue 😂
Absolute best part " HAVE YOU BEEN EATING GARLIC"
While her accent is terrible, speaks with the ferocity of an angry Grandmother you accidentally disrespected. XD
Est-ce que tu bovveree aussi?
LMR 1996 I ain't bovered
She doesn't have a french accent either. She speaks french not so well
French people speak English with a french accent #doublestandards. But seriously, it is still funny
LMR 1996 um
Great thing about this is: Catherine Tate really is fluent in French.
Edit: Guys, I wrote that Catherine Tate is fluent in French --Catherine, not Lauren :) You can check it in an interview where Catherine's language skills are mentioned (link in the comments). Cheers!
No, she's not.
She is actually fluent dude.
"il faut que vous parlez en français" - well straight away this is incorrect french!
Gary Adamson I know! I was surprised by that too, considering that woman does genuinely sound French. But it is confirmed that Catherine Tate is genuinely fluent in real life.
Gary Adamson Catherine is fluent. Lauren isn't which is why her French is incorrect.
It has been 9 years since I saw this video for the first time and now I understand completely what the teacher is saying in French. Thanks Lauren!
Good although the teacher isn't French and makes mistakes when she speaks French and has an English accent. But her deliberately mild French accent in English varies from barely audible to really excellent.
My favourite thing to watch! Cracks me up every time, I love Cathrine Tate!!!
Omg she sounds like a typical English teenage girl 😂😂😂😂😂
r/emojipolice
Do you know why we pulled you over?
Every British school girl, (especially chavs) just, always speak like this and it annoys me ngl.

This episode was aired in November 2006 in the dying days of British comedy. It's from a pre-youtube age and catered to the old way we used to view and treat comedy, the characters would become a part of public consciousness, people would quote the shows to each other and share in the joke. Even Tony Blair did an 'Am I Bovered' skit for Comic Relief. The audience already knew what was coming, they didn't need to understand the language. She chose French because every British person went through French lessons up to the the 1990's and ribbing the French used to be a British pass time, no-one actually hated the French but they would do it in the same way friends teased each other, Allo Allo is a good example.
What an amazingly accurate breakdown
Genius comedy!!! Love her as the stroppy teenager!! Brilliant!!!
Oh Gosh. I was a French Assistant last year and this sketch is so accurate ! loool. Cath remind me some of my students.
I sympathise with you. When I and my classmates were at secondary school French was compulsory and we resented it and our poor French teacher suffered as a result.
We still have to do French or Spanish up to year eight but we can choose to drop it as we go into year nine when we pick our options
Sweetydu972M )
Don't scare me I'll do that next year XD
This may be mean but behind my French teachers back we call her mostashio
This is exactly what it was like in my English Secondary School. Most students were like this.
Stop bullshitting mate
Cosmic Turkey Chances are he ain’t bullshitting. Legit had a kids act like this in my French lessons, including myself tbh. When it’s not compulsory for GCSEs no one will care or pay attention if they don’t want to take it after year 9.
Yikes. It's funny in a sketch but if someone acted like Lauren in real life she'd be a really massive asshole.
Emma May I have to do french for gcse and if anyone acted like that in my class all hell would break loose. It only happens in lower sets, and even those are somewhat well behaved.
@@ChaoticCarter705 yeah he aint shitting. classes behave like this and worse, nobody gives 2 shits about languages
This is the best funny show that I've ever seen in my life!
omg need that gigantic giggle thanks BBC Studios I just adore Catherine Tate and her crack up character of Lauren Cooper i laugh so hard my sides ache. i could watch her again and again and again and never ever get sick of her. I loved Catherine Tate in dr who too she was my fave companion ..........BIG fan from Australia here.
Omg the accent makes it so hard to understand the french, let alone when she’s doing it so fast!
Some of us can (and I only have "O" Level French from 39 years ago)
Same thing happens when the French speak in English.
H Kirk im French and I can’t understand it ://
just so you know its meant to be like that, that's part of the joke :)
I understood most of the french. A sentence or two might have slipped past me, and im only 13. Her accent isnt even that thick
It's even better when you can speak in both languages
I can. Montreal power! :)
+Halleloolahoop if you can hear some of it. she say look at my face.
I only know a little French but I could understand what she trying to say
I understand cuz she does this in every skit.

To ANYONE who happens to read this, English is my first language and French is my second. I LOVE it when Catherine Tate plays Lauren. When she started speaking how she usually does but in French, there where tears blasting out of my eyes. This has to be the absolute best one yet :D
Hilarious! Love the allo allo reference
Teacher: do you act like this at home
Lauren: DID YOU DISRESPECT MY FAMILY DO I LOOK LIKE IM BOTHERED DOES IT LOOK LIKE I AM
I like how she’s saying the same things in French that she said in English in the Red Nose Day David Tennant English Teacher video
Don't understand when Lauren is speaking French because I don't speak it but I get the gist of it HAHAHA
I hope you figured out it's the exact same 'Do I look bovvered?' bit she does in all the sketches.
I don't speak French, but from what I gathered, she asks her teacher, "Look at my face? Am I bovvered? Are you disrespecting my family? Are you insinuating that my dad's a Pykey? You saying my mom's a Gypo?" Then more of the "My face, look at it," and "Ferre Jacques."
(And no offense to anybody that's Romani or Irish Traveler. I'm going by the translation.)
This will never stop bieng entertaining
love her
I'm French Canadian and I almost died laughing.
I love Catherine Tate, mooooore, mooooooore!

Or semi-understand it, in my case. I wouldn’t call myself fluent just yet, though i am learning the language, both through lessons and at home through translating songs and interviews (Mostly Stromae)😂
