CATHERINE TATE- THE OFFENSIVE TRANSLATOR- COUPLES REACTION

[@JabberCT]

I'm Italian and I understood every word she said. She's a pro!

[@thatsthat2612]

Showed my Nigerian uncle this a while back he collapsed laughing at the last one and said "no, no, she isn't accurate, everytime we eat the sandwich and say, where is my sandwich" 🤣 he's fcking nuts, fav uncle by a mile.

[@curtisoliver1006]

Brilliant!

[@timholder6825]

The best one was the African guy because you could see he was almost cracking up, holding it in. 5 more seconds and he would've been done. Cut, start again. Apparently though it was the Chinese lady who was the biggest problem, she couldn't stop laughing and they had to do multiple takes.

[@pinkbeatle2012]

yes he was nearly laughing

[@timranachan3224]

They'd all been in the studio canteen before filming and the African guy got the wrong order. He said to the waitress, "this is not my sandwich ". Catherine threw it in ad lib. See his face 😂

[@ajtommo]

Apparently it was about 25 or 26 takes as the Chinese Lady and African man kept setting each other off 😂

[@kyrman6038]

I love how the brother at the end is trying so hard not to laugh.

[@CaptainHowdy-mw9vc]

The fact they left it in shows how many takes they must have done where he actually did laugh and they had to cut 😂

[@seanscanlon9067]

I don't know if this is true or not but apparently in a break between filming, the actors were eating from a finger buffet and the African character did actually say the 'line' this is not my sandwich after he put it down and the picked up the wrong one again or something along those lines and so on this particular take of filming, Catherine Tate added in the line as an ad lib. Which would explain why he broke character and could not keep a straight face.

[@chrishorsfield4893]

@@seanscanlon9067 Catherine Tate said in a DVD extra that the original line in the script was "This is not my suitcase" - But they wasn't allowed to use that line, so it was changed to sandwich.

[@jeffburdick869]

When this video first came out, I was dating someone who is a professional interpreter. We loved it.

[@denisegale6874]

Not matter how many times I see it I still laugh and now the reaction ideas are even better

[@phillipwalker6517]

Ivé has seen this 20 times and I still crack up so my guts hurt. It´s not my sandwich. 🤣🤣🤣

[@manuginobilisbaldspot424]

How come I've never seen that before? That was funny AF. Being dumb without being mean spirited can and should still be funny.

[@jedislap8726]

To put it into context, the character she plays in this sketch is one that always says that she can do it, no matter what the problem is. It's not that she's dumb she just oversells her abilities to please or impress people.

[@manuginobilisbaldspot424]

@@jedislap8726 I don't need context...you know what I mean. People treat comedy as always having to be overly smart and never daring to cross in to the boundaries of other groups of people. This was funny without being insulting or demeaning BECAUSE she's an idiot. Anyone who tries to talk to someone in another language like that is an idiot lmao...that's clearly part of the character, even as you described it. Anyway, it was freakin' hilarious.

[@meronr74]

This took hours to film because the chinese lady laughed so much

[@probablecausetocheckhard-drive]

Catherine Tate 'Nan' just absolute brilliance check that out

[@Isleofskye]

The Chinese segment took 12 takes as the Chinese Lady kept laughing:) The Black Guy almost went at the end. You MUST watch:Catherine Tate(The Intterpretor) in other sketches in her weekly sketch show like her character NAN....:)

[@brianfallon2607]

This Catherine Tate character says, "I can do that" to any request. Catherine Tate's show was a series of skits of different characters...most of them with a tenuous grip on reality.

[@robinmeltzer9024]

The best thing about it is how proud she looks with herself at the end

[@XENONEOMORPH1979]

when the skit was happening and Kathrine doing her thing everyone was laughing ,they had to do so many takes so believe it they took it lightly some occasions they laughed so much they had to take time out.

[@aaronhall5796]

Like others have said the Chinese ks do couldn’t stop laughing during the filming. The guy at the end was the same. I recently learnt the reason she said “this is not my sandwich” is because during lunch after he was handed the wrong one. Catherine Tate decided to through it into the sketch.

[@snackandreact]

Too funny!!

[@ebbhead20]

Shes clearly japanese as it says on her sign.

[@roger1296]

One of the funniest skits I’ve ever seen!!! 😂😂😂😂

[@TheXideas]

Yesss ... that was my recomendation 😄 Loved your reaction ❤❤

[@snackandreact]

Thanks for the great recommendation!

@@Isleofskye Do you have the video for the outtakes?

[@Isleofskye]

If I did, My Friend, I would be rich beyond avarice instead of the impoverished pauper which I am.....:(

[@jenniferjacobs228]

I would love to see the outtakes for this sketch..lol... must have been exhausting.hahahaha

[@snackandreact]

OMG YES!!

[@alfresco8442]

Apparently they had to stop filming several times, because the oriental lady kept cracking-up.

[@maritnordin6017]

As a Swede all I wanna say is; -"Hördy gördy hördy, .....gördy!"

New relationship? So sweet what you're bringing out in each other. You each think the other is the best thing ever. It's all I your energy. It's so nice to see. Bless.

[@snackandreact]

Thank you!

[@marcom6089]

That was wrong on so many levels… but oh so freaking funny. It was way better than I expected. 😂

[@Pomdownuder]

Blimey - you got it!! The comedy in this is how someone who's done a two week course Teaching English as a second language course thinks she can translate 7 languages

[@steerpike50]

Such a good sketch very funny .

[@lesleycooper7544]

I have seen this o many times Love it xxxx

[@KimOfDrac]

Whoever created the muppet Swedish chef is to blame for this😂 it sounds more like a southern us or irish person trying to speak dutch or something🤣

[@jamesmillsbooks6848]

Great channel. Highly recommend, Four Candles by The Two Ronnies...

[@Herbert04]

Catherine Tate has to be the funniest women ever. Here in the States women comedians routine seems to be "I'm a slut". It's not even funny anymore. Catherine if you listen to a lot of her comedy she is amazing.

[@MillsyLM]

Of course at the time this sketch aired around 2006/07 it was just the "Translator Sketch". The Offensive tag has only been added in the last few years as the woke brigade reared their head. This sketch is more to do with how dumb the Catherine Tate character is rather than anything else.

[@dyl-annfan6]

Apparently it took 16 takes,12 of which were due to the Chinese lady bursting into laughter, rest were the African guy. The quip about the "It's not my sandwich" is referring to the cast at lunch break and he was given the wrong sandwich and she included it in the script which made him react with a rye smile ...

[@mubbles1066]

If you liked this sketch then check out her Nan skits…hysterical 😂

[@seannewton1355]

I'm fucking raging

[@ijo58]

One show you must look at is “Yes Minister” A British comedy series that take a look at how ministers in government work. It’s from the 1980’s and still so true today.

[@neillgowans4350]

The sandwich comment at the end, straight from ‘Coming to a America’ always kills me.

[@antonytjp]

I totally agree with her the Italian was the best… my second fave was Swedish.. but most of them were hilarious lolol

[@shaunmorris8176]

Hi from AUSTRALIA, this was so funny. A song you should definitely check out is Wheeler Walker jnr - Family Tree. But this is song that if you play it in your car make sure there is NO kids listening.

[@snackandreact]

Thanks and appreciate the disclaimer!

[@kyotocoversjimanderson782]

Thank you for seeing how ridiculous the sketch was. It's still funny.

[@amandaely9983]

Loving your smiley faces! ❤️

[@ElectroPanPipes]

Another point, the ‘character’ she plays does this in other job roles. She’s one of those people who say “I can’t do that” to everything 😂

[@dearbhlakerr6497]

Each of them had trouble filming for laughing. Enjoy and embrace all cultures cause we're all different and funny to others

[@markwilliams5240]

You have to watch the Catherine Tate," so your a gay man now " clip, it's amazing

[@haeleth7218]

Apparently the Chinese lady could not stop laughing during this and it took many takes to film. The 'African' guy was also close to laughing as you can see from this clip.

[@neorich59]

You two are adorable. Tate is a National Treasure over here. Bloody funny and a damned good actress to boot. If you haven't seen her Derek Faye, Gay Son, Detective Sam Speed sketches, yet, they're well worth checking out! 😉😉

[@broughton90]

Catherine tate is amazing guys you need to watch all the episodes she plays NAN and she's a typical British old school nan

[@GaryFillingham]

The African guy was having lunch before filming and his lunch came and he said this is not my sandwich ? Catherine Tate added it in and he nearly burst into laughter, also the Chinese lady couldn't stop laughing and took many takes before she stopped

[@ginettechiverton7113]

Catherine Tate, a Very Talented Actress/Comedian.🇬🇧😊

[@dan2007kohn]

Catherine Tate has created some amazing characters in her sketch show. You should check out the Two Pilots sketches in the Armstrong And Miller show, another British sketch show.

[@alimar0604]

Dan, absolutely, all their work is hilarious! 😂

[@cornishmaid9138]

There were so many comedic elements to this. For example. The character said she’d done a TEFL (teach English as a foreign language) course in her gap year. A gap year is taking a year out of education between finishing school at 18, and going to university at 19. A TELF course is clever, but basic. It can be completed in a week, and in no way does it qualify anyone to be a translator.

[@boqndimitrov8693]

the perfect translator, no doubt! 😂

[@snackandreact]

[@col2158]

You should try watching some Sean lock 8 out of ten cats 1 So much British comedy to watch !

[@bloodwolf9075]

This is an example of how the world has changed over the years. If this was aired today they would cancel it after the first few episodes. We don't live on a rock anymore. We live on a snowflake

[@AuroraMeansDawn27]

The African guy - at their lunch break - said "this is not my sandwich", so when she threw that in , thats why he was about to break.

[@darrenbuckley2082]

Took some time to film as the chinese lady could not stop laughing.

[@michaelmcbreen4025]

You have just got to react to the british comedian catherine tate playing the part of Nan you will piss your pants with laughter.🇬🇧👍🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@ilovefunbags2676]

It's basically how a child would do the languages...

[@Reanimator1974]

This “character” has multiple skits where something happens and she always says “oh, I can do that”, but she can’t. There’s a band one with her playing the drums, and a tennis one. But this is the funniest. You should also check out her character “Nan Taylor”. The Christmas sketch is even better than this.

[@Reanimator1974]

Apparently the last one the African? He kept bursting out laughing and they had to do multiple takes. If you look at his face you can see he’s about to burst out laughing!

Hi good people.There's a really unpolitically correct gem she does called Katherine Tate Nan anger management.U won't believe what U see & hear.U may have to go to Daily Motion to see the whole thing, I'm not sure.All the best

No chinese here, shes a Japanese woman. But Tate seems to do a Chinese thing with Japan for some reason.

This took ages to film, because the Japanese actress kept laughing....if you look she is clenching her mouth.....to stop herself

Watch her character Derek.

[@glennf9582]

They should have added German in the skit. 😂

[@kevinsaunders8128]

loved your reaction. I think i laughed more from the indian guy onwards

Hey Guys. I know what you're thinking ' Oh god, it's that English guy again! ', Ahhahahaha! ;) No Stephanie, i won't press that like button just because you look at me with those dreamy eyes and that beautiful soft smile, lol! Damn, i pressed it, how the hell did that happen?, lol! See what you do to me girl, you get me doing the stuff i even try forcing myself not to do!, lol! I hope you're both keeping well? I so love Catherine Tate. British, English, both are close enough. She had a show where she would do different sketches ' Skits ' as you guys across the pond call them, lol! He doing the Nan one is also very funny and worth watching. Until next time, take care both of you and stay safe!

Please do more Catherine Tate! Lauren is good. Gay son one...
