American Reacts to Catherine Tate Gay Son

[@neorich59]

Loved your reaction and the fact that you "got it." A number of people have said that this is "homophobic," when it's anything but. This is what Tate (and Sacha Baron Cohen does) she ridicules stereotypes, while seeming to endorse them. Have a look at her Derek how very _dare you_ Faye and her Detective Sergeant Sam Speed. Both equally hilarious. She's a genius!

[@fuchsraeude1294]

Maybe you've recognized "Rosemary" as Catelyn Stark from Game of Thrones?

[@casinoclown5502]

As a writer, comedienne and actress.. She's amazing

[@hiramabiff2017]

So great to see " Lady Catelyn Stark " (4.59 ) survived the Red Wedding & now living on a council estate in Belfast 😉

[@twilomix]

Victoria wood is amazing 😊😊😊

[@neorich59]

Too right. Wood was amazing. And, like Tate could turn her acting/writing skills to all sorts of genres. Some of her serious work was great too!

[@tommyau2006]

nothing better than hearing Alan laugh to start your day

[@JoshRead1]

I remember this well. Around the same time this was first shown, one of my best friends came out as gay. We used to say things like this to him 🤣🤣

[@maudeboggins9834]

You Sir make me laugh, I love your reaction to various sketches.

[@Sparks127]

We have had a tradition of taking preconceived notions and turning them on their head for Comedy. If only to expose the silliness of the original position. Great reaction Alan.

[@laughingachilles]

My favourite part is the skinheads. Pure genius.

[@ladabingo7912]

I love your laugh, it’s infectious 😂😂

[@Colin-mc4ml]

Check out Catherine's Derek character compilation; it's hilarious.

[@alanjay5974]

Yes Agreed. I've just posted a similar comment to support yours.All the best.

[@luismorgan2422]

Agreed!!

[@Fever42]

Love your vids dude! You're laugh just completely lifts my spirits! 😂 Loving the colour in your beard as well man... Badass! All the best from Scotland! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

That's a feisty Ulster woman for you Beardy - don't mess with her!

[@zetectic7968]

The sketch being set in Northern Ireland not known for its tolerance at the the time especially of the non-hetero lifestyle. There was a famous legal case that went all the way to the European court because a bakers had refused to make a cake for a gay couple in support of gay marriage.

[@wolfie5]

The Northern Ire religious intolerance makes this even funnier against the back story of a protest march for civil rights

[@craponlycomesoutadogsarse1731]

@@jimohara and some muslim beliefs are to kill anyone who say’s anything they don’t like about the Prophet Mohammed much like many Christians did back in the day. It may only have been a cake but these intolerant beliefs can and often do go much deeper and should not be tolerated in a modern forward thinking society that people can be proud of.

[@kevinhegarty1768]

My bad, I just said something abit similar

[@glenn9683]

Well that's balls they were a Christian family and the case was about being forced to make a cake with support gay marriage on it by an activist trying to goad a reaction, a case the bakers won btw.

[@jimohara]

@@craponlycomesoutadogsarse1731 Where did my comment go to? Why’s it not still here?

[@kevinhegarty1768]

You have to remember this is set in northern Ireland in the 1980's. You could get lynched just for looking at someone the wrong way, that's the comical part about this, there not as tough as they look after all. Love from Ireland

[@eamonnclabby7067]

Still miss the white pudding and veg roll...

[@laughingachilles]

This is definitely something lost on many audiences outside of the UK and it makes it so much funnier.

[@terencemccarthy8615]

@@laughingachilles not lost on this Aussie....her NI accent sounds spot on to my ears!

[@tonygriffin_]

Great parody of an Irish Ma and a good Irish accent from Catherine and a superb parody of the Irish stereotypes used in too many films when she's asking her son what he's been up to that day.

[@saltireeire5775]

Drunk Bride by Catherine Tate is hilarious

[@KotRFFXIV]

You are the second reactor today to do this, must be the promotion of the movie putting it on everyones timeline!

[@deirdremacnamara9885]

Love this Catherine Tate character. She does the Northern Irish accent to perfection. Thank you. 🇨🇮

[@brendanmaguire4134]

That's not a tricolour Deirdre. That's the Ivory coast flagg lol.. 😉✌🇮🇪

The intention of that accent is contagious.

So enjoyed this one with you Alan, next try Harry Enfield gay son sketch.

never seen this one b4, class, thanks Eclectic Beard,.,.

[@margaretnicol3423]

She was also great as Dr Who's companion.

[@EileenHall-j9f]

I am British, I personally love most of our comedy. We send ourselves up, we laugh at ourselves, it’s called satire.

[@MrGlobbits]

ALways great seeing reactions to this. They're always good.

[@stevemorris6855]

Hi Mr Beard. The origin of the 'Nan' character was explained by Catherine Tate to Tom Cruise on the Graham Norton show. Worth a watch.

[@tripledistilled2822]

I'll have to look into that one!

[@jimohara]

It was hilarious the she told it, Tom Cruise laughing

[@elliepond5984]

Your laugh is very infectious 🤣

[@GeorgiePotter]

Nice choice! Catherine Tate IS hilarious. Harry Enfield is just as funny, he did a gay son sketch too. Harry Enfield Gay Son I'd love to see your reactions to that.

Hi EB When u can checkout Catherine Tate as gay Derek 16m 36secs full version.AMAZING Makeup & Characterisation. You would never guess it was her, it's so good.

[@bostonblackie9503]

This is a take off of The Troubles in Northern Ireland. Were Catholic and Protestants hated each other, both Christian but they hated each other.

[@philipbillington2314]

You need to see her Derek character which is based on an older man who is clearly gay but will not admit it to anyone

[@vilebrequin6923]

Who, dear? Me, dear? No, dear!

[@DavidLee-vi8ds]

@@vilebrequin6923 Just because a man colour coordinates his accessories and uses a separate shampoo and conditioner you accuse him of taking deliveries through the tradesman's entrance!

[@royalirish4208]

Great to see a American that can understand the Northern Irish accent, best way for a American is to place this in the US deep south were religious people condone others for there sexuality its just the same in Ulster for some stupid reason.

[@phoenix-xu9xj]

It helps if you understand the history of the marches with the Protestants and Catholics in Northern Ireland.

[@tonybennett4159]

Yes. Normally marches are sectarian in nature, so to see a Northern Irish march promoting a pro-gay agenda adds a further twist of irony.

[@markpalmar70]

I wrote a song about my mum based on her " nan" character, which Catherine Tate actually got to hear. I think she is the best in decades, the ginger refuge stuff is really good.

[@johnirwing2571]

There is a clip of Katherine on the Graham Norton show explaining to Tom Cruise the origins of her Nan character available on KZbin. It’s worth a watch😉
