It's the first time I see this, but I found it hilarious. Despite being offensive, it portrays the way some people perceive foreign languages.

Hi Nina,
You'll see lively discussion about this here

and also by typing in "Catherine Tate" in the forum search, for other languages.

Sorry about that. It's the first time I saw it though.

Yes I know this video, I find it hilarious too. I LOVE Catherine Tate and her characters. Another video that I like is called Deaf Boy, if I remember well, it cracks me up whenever I watch it! Check it out on You Tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1Z84KHaWNg
I also like the ones of the snooty husband and wife talking about the weird things they ate, like shitake mushrooms... See more Yes I know this video, I find it hilarious too.

I also like the ones of the snooty husband and wife talking about the weird things they ate, like shitake mushrooms, tempura and gazpacho... hilarious.
When I need a break I often go to youtube and look at Catherine Tate's videos. Not all her characters are really really funny, but it's a nice "time-break occupation".
One of the latest that I have seen which I find funny is the one with Daniel Craig (the latest James Bond). He's soooo good looking.

| What about granny? | Jun 6, 2007 |
Living in the UK, we got it on different channels all the time (a lot of repeats but....) and I never miss a show!
My favourite is when she does the granny and "What a f*****g liberty" has become a huge catch-phrase over here.
Am not bothered, am not bothered, am not bothered! Face, bothered, face, bothered!!

She did a really good sketch with the Prime Minister this year for Red Nose Day. This time it was Tony Blair, who was not bothered - really hilarious... and great how Tony Blair played the part.

hi Rad,
And how about other catch-phrases like "Dirty bastards!" or Derek's outraged "How dare you, how very dare youuuuu" or the final phrase that Catherine says to her office colleague:"YES, IT IS!!!", or Georgie's "double u-double u- double u dot........ dot co dot uk"... simply hilarious!
Another of my favourites is Bernie's "nunu" sketch. Take a look here:

Thank God for Youtube, I tell you!

Agreed, but that's just the trouble. Blair really ISN'T bothered.

| A quick thanks to Liliana | Jun 9, 2007 |
I clicked on the Daniel Craig link and it made my dreary day yesterday. He really is tasty, and I needed a lift after being trapped in my basement office....
