Harry Enfield's sketches work on so many levels. Just brilliant.

[@MarkmanOTW]

Congratulations Megan! You're the first of the Canadian/American 'reactors' to react to these 'Polish Cafe' sketches, in spite of my recommending a number of times to various reactors I follow and their requests for more Harry Enfield sketches. Harry captures the 'middle-aged' man being impressed/infatuated with the young Eastern European women working in the cafe so well - and dare I say resonates close to home. The mix of charm and bluntness of the women are beautifully portrayed here by Morwenna Banks, Laura Solon and Sophie Wikleman.

[@MeganRuth]

I am? How strange! I thought more reactors would have reacted to this! I can see why you've recommended it! 😊

[@MarkmanOTW]

@@MeganRuth It's very poignant and well observed, and probably the only understated 'true-to-life' character Harry plays, in contrast to his other characters 🙏😊

"In spite of" "infatuation" "You are the first" You need to slow down a bit. You are coming across a bit heavy like a stalker.

Oh yes! Absolutely!

[@langdalepaul]

Agree. These are the best of all.

[@davesabra4320]

Utterly realistic experience in the Polski shops.

[@smyffmawzz]

True. Still funny , though

[@RKSidd]

To put this in context, in the Noughties many polish people came to the uk after Poland became part of the EU. The polish women were perhaps seen as exotic for some of the british men. Harry here plays a particularly hopelessly infatuated character.

[@MeganRuth]

Ah okay! That makes sense. Thanks! :)

[@RobertTaylor-gz2fu]

They're also sought after for being more traditional & typically feminine than Westerners.

[@user-vh8by6wf5x]

@@RobertTaylor-gz2fu But they are also incredibly false and manipulative, as shown in these sketches. So, what do men want?

[@joestunnerboxing]

Why is every Polish girl called either Magda or Kasia? I'm convinced it's a conspiracy.

HE comedy is observational humour.Nuances of rudeness is one.Its subtle stuff.

[@rickb3645]

Many years ago... An old friend of mine told me about the time he visited a Chinese Takeaway late one night... While he was on his way home from the pub... And after placing his order and paying for it in advance... He sat on a bench inside of the takeaway... And waited for his order to be ready... And while he was sat there minding his own business... He could hear the staff in the back speaking in Cantonese with one another... Lets just say that they were being quite unkind about some of the other customers that were in there... What they were totally unaware of... Is that my friend spoke several languages fluently... This was because of his job as an interpreter for foreign students at University... Languages he spoke fluently included... Cantonese... Mandarin... Japanese... And Korean... So when his order was finally ready... He calmly walked up to the counter... Grabbed his bagged up takeaway order... And speaking in fluent Cantonese... He gave them a piece of his mind... About their lack of respect towards some of the other customers... Before walking out of the door vowing never to return again... I would love to have been a fly on the wall to see the look on their shocked faces... Never assume you can't be understood when being unkind.

[@MeganRuth]

I love that story! Thanks for sharing 😊 And yes, I fully agree!

[@goodshipkaraboudjan]

I grew up to Aussie parents in Hong Kong then I moved back and worked there so I had a good grasp of Cantonese. Always fun calling out people talking about you thinking you can't understand.

This is so bloody hilarious that this mate in this episode always comes inside there!😂Thanks for sharing Megan & have you ever been to the Harlequin Pub over in Angel London here? 🤔🍺

[@MeganRuth]

Thanks Falcom! No, I don't think I have!

[@TheRedDevil-1968]

Hi Megan. One of the sketches from this is missing. There is one with Paul Whitehouse as a "wide boy" in the shop, and the plot is about a birthday card.

[@MeganRuth]

Oh no! What a shame. Thanks for letting me know!

[@TheRedDevil-1968]

@@MeganRuth My pleasure Megan. Anything to help. X

[@user-vh8by6wf5x]

Ah yes, I remember that one. The wide boy had success with the girls because he was direct, even though he was a completely useless a-hole for them. Harry Enfield reflecting human nature in his humour yet again...

[@lifelover515]

Nice choice. For me, at first it seems to be about misinterpreting non-verbal signals but then none of the girls' behaviour makes much sense. But the confusion and awkwardness is relatable, funny and well-acted. You haven't done 'Peek-a-boo' yet (American tourists). Like these, there's a series of them - Harry at his best. Thanks again, Megan.

It is the height of ignorance to me. The very first thing I learn if nothing else, is Please and Thankyou in whichever language is spoken in the country i am visiting

That was great acting, the pronunciacion of Polish words was so-so but the effort was phenomenal, 85% understandable, sadly weird intonation (a bit Czech?). There is longer compilation somewhere I tried translate in comments once

[@leejones2640]

Hi Meg. I enjoyed the video.😊 I note your point about speaking in a language that is incomprehensible to someone else in the room. English people sometimes complain if they enter a pub or shop in a Welsh speaking area, and the locals continue speaking in their first language of Welsh. If you went into a shop in a French speaking area of Canada, how would you react if they carried on speaking French? Isn't it a bit anglocentric to expect everyone to adjust to your language? Just a thought..

[@MeganRuth]

Hi Lee! That's not what I meant at all. I meant that if the person who doesn't speak the language is purposefully left out of the conversation by the people speaking the other language, then it's disrespectful. The person doesn't even have to be English. It would be the same if I purposefully left a Spanish speaker out of the conversation while talking to my English speaking friend.

[@MantisEnergy]

*Incomprehensible comment* Eurgh. Eurgh!

[@marty6945]

Hi, I am also from an Eastern European country. Can you be more specific and say what the general similarities are between the women from an Eastern European countries and this sketch?😮 How many people from Eastern Europe do you know in general and have you already elaborated any statistics on this topic?
