Catherine Tate - The Offensive Translator (reaction)

[@roberthughes9856]

My sister works for an international shipping company and they have contacts all over the World. One contact who viewed the video was speaking to her on the phone and they were really offended by this skit. It was the Munich office and they were outraged that she did not "do" German!

[@herewegoagain632]

🤣

[@mariestreeting4213]

I’d love her to do another skit and include us Aussies 😆

[@peterkirby7546]

Probably for the best, I'm betting it would have been very circa 1939 xD

[@YouTubecanbitemyhairybanger]

I'd have sent her a clip of the Germans episode of Fawlty Towers.... Really test that German sense of humour

[@rfpmcorreia]

they know is satire, right? Oh, sorry, they're german

[@robinmeltzer9024]

It’s the way she looks so proud of herself at the end that always gets me

[@juliequinlan6564]

I have seen this clip so many times and I know what’s going to happen and still laugh out loud every time 🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@user-bd9qx7qf2f]

That was Spain Spanish. In Mexico and South America they use the S, but in Spain the S sounds like TH. At the end she did say, "This is not my sandwich," but during a break in filming they were getting lunch at a sandwich truck and she overheard him tell them, "This is not my sandwich," and added it in during filming to throw him off. You notice he almost broke character when she said that.

[@kathleenwage]

LOL Catherine Tate is freakin hilarious! Absolutely love her

[@NicknameOnly]

Catherine Tate is a comic genius! She has many, many characters to share. Enjoy!

[@ogkushnick1121]

Catherine Tate is funny. I loved her in Doctor who

[@anitahargreaves9526]

seen numerous times but couldn't wait for your response. Thank you for sharing.

Nice to see you darlin’. I’ve missed your smile. And look at you with all that great setup. You’re my favorite reactor 👵🏼☮️❤️🌻

[@mujerdemadera316]

I seen this years ago on instagram and I cracked up so much, but you are the first one I heard to react to this. Loved your reaction as always

[@cup_cuppy_cuppers5817]

Here is another great reaction to this skit. Not wanting or trying to steal or detract from Mr V's reaction. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3jLfpqGZaeqa5o

You should check out Catherine tate "nan". The most offensive granny on the planet. Hysterical

[@malcombe7001]

I do hope you get to read this dude. I was laughing really loud and then you done your bit, I nearly burst my aneurism. No one is talking about it in the comments, you were brilliant, I've watched it 3 times. That was the funniest thing I've seen in ages, bravo.

[@ryancunningham6852]

tate is awesome. she was my favorite companion on Dr. Who too.

[@dutchrudder3805]

This was hilarious and you made it even better! Love ya King Leo 👑.

[@TheDivayenta]

I studied a German, Russian and French. The way they teach it in school makes it easy to learn- you would be great , Leo! People who are musically gifted ( that’s YOU!) are often good at languages as well.

[@c_n_b]

I guess my school was worse. I took A-Level German and the teacher had to speak to us in English 😆

[@NotBenCoultry]

That's nothing, last Tuesday morning my ass spoke to me in Cantonese. Woke me right out of a dead sleep.

[@sarablack2547]

Catherine had her own sketch show with different characters she played.this is one of them always trying to help saying she can do that no matter the situation but as you can see she can't.now a days this sketch in some countries would prob get her cancelled.she's done straight acting and comic acting too.she's done Shakespeare on stage.dr who's companion and in the last couple of seasons of the office USA.

[@whyaddnamehere]

LOVED Catherine on Doctor Who!

[@carlosvejar3938]

Looking good Leo. The new crib suits you just fine. Keep pushing

[@gentlemanjim480]

In rehearsals, the actors were served sandwiches and the Nigerian actor said “this is not my sandwich”. That’s where that came from. Apparently that actor and the Chinese lady laughed so much that they had to do many, many takes.

[@YouTubecanbitemyhairybanger]

For those that don't know TEFL what she said she did in her gap year is Teaching English as a Foreign Language.

[@vannaty7]

Thanks Leo! You have such a contagious laugh 😂I'm so very proud of you and your channel. Keep up the great work, my fellow Ohioan.

[@MehIgotnothing]

3:06 She sounded like the Swedish Chef from the Muppets. 🤣 Hope you're having a blessed Friday, Leo. When you can you should check out the show What We Do In The Shadows, it's hilarious.

[@moonlily1]

Swedes don't even need a translator, the vast majority of Swedes speak English fluently.

[@marcodevries994]

God, I miss the Swedish chef, and the Muppet show. Brilliant

[@eigenfrequencies]

This sketch is SO borderline. The BBC would never produce this type of content nowadays. I'm surprised they haven't pulled it down off KZbin. Even though most normal people find it funny as hell 😀

[@anthonylyon3398]

Brilliant response

[@MrsMillwall]

You would love her Nan sketches, tis bloody funny, so glad you are back 🌟

[@johnmccarthy568]

great reaction ,catherine is amazing, check out her other characters, nan or lauren cooper periodic table, lauren cooper french teacher,, there all really funny

And the skit she does with Daniel Craig is priceless!!

[@dommyschuuby3609]

I remember the outtakes to this skit, the actor playing the African businessman had to do multiple takes because he kept laughing

[@TheRealSweetcherryo]

The last 2 were laughing so hard during filming they almost couldn't finish..... RIP Taylor Hawkins💙💔

[@jeffwolfe191]

I haven't watched your videos in a while but I see you've made a few changes and I'm happy for you.

[@RowdyRuth]

Funny skit! I love laughing along with you. Miss the smokes together but I get it. 🌎✌️

[@catshez]

Hahah your reaction was great ! 😄🤣 The thing that gets me is that the second joke doesn't get a reaction from the audience, noone picks it up but the first time I saw this sketch I laughed out loud.. She says " Well I can do that" (Audience laughs) I did a TEFL in my gap-year.. ... I laughed because TEFL is Teaching English as a Foreign Language... (I have one too lol) .... there is no way that would help to learn other languages 🤣

Always fun times at your place, Mr. V !

[@debbyemerson3877]

Lol. Another good laugh is the Lonely Island "Great Day" You'll love it

[@gregvergara7596]

If you watch closely, the guy playing the African character was BARELY keeping his shit together. 😂

[@celticguy197531]

you are almost close lol it was the Chinese woman who couldn't control her laughter they had to keep on redoing the skit because she was laughing so much

[@John-gv2ug]

Mr V, i really enjoyed your subtle, intelligent reference to the Rosetta Stone.

Bro she was awesome on Doctor Who .. That's a long running series that is awesome BTW .. many Doctors and companions over the decades ..

Along with Sacha Baron Cohen Catherine has many offensive characters her grandmother character comes from hearing an old woman at a nursing home in south London

You’ve gotta react to Catherine Tates ‘Nan’ character, nan just means grandmother. Start with the ‘Doctors Surgery’ video 👍

You have got to check out Lucille Balls bit Vitameatavegamin. You have to watch the whole thing bc it's broken up into bits. Watch the long version. season one episode 30. Also, Lucy in the chocolate factory. Season 2 episode 1. Once again, the whole episode not the short ones.

[@michaelmcbreen4025]

Mr V my man you have just got to react to catherine tate playing the part of NAN in many sketches she does in that part you will piss your pants with laughter I promise,she also play's many parts including an unruly teenager who wont listen to anybody also a gay man who does not think he is gay and an Irish mother who friend's out her son is gay there all so funny she is a british treasure.🇬🇧👍🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

You should check out Vicar of Dibley too. Dawn French is a female British comedian who plays an Anglican vicar (priest) who comes to a church where they don’t like her because she’s a woman. It’s hilarious. A lot of wow, I can’t believe they said that kind of humour. It’s great.

[@TheDoctorFlay]

Catherine's offensive old granny character used to make me piss myself laughing. So wrong.

[@skinwalker_]

I have watched some American reactions especially with younger guys getting really offended. But the key to comedy that runs so close to the edge is that you spread it around. You do not leave anyone out including themselves. You actually see this in Family Guy, they trash everyone because its the only way to do such close to the edge offensive comedy. Here in the UK we self deprecating a lot and most of the time the joke is on us but we don't mind laughing at ourselves.

[@brendasmith9429]
