Tracey Takes On... One Night Stand

[@robertocanton8952]

A very special treat for Tracey fans. Deserves a prize for inspired performance, writing and directing

[@mz.pretty4226]

Trevor and Ruby Romaine are still my two favorite characters.....I used to stay up to watch her show on HBO when I was 9, now I'm 35 lol 😂 still watching

[@jimcormney]

Wow, wow, wow. This skit is brilliant, just brilliant. Her talent is enormous. Her take on playing characters is amazing. The clever nuances she uses to bring them to life unparalleled. Why is she not an even bigger talent on the world stage. I've never laughed so hard as when I saw her playing Dames Judy Dench and Helen Mirren! Thank you so much Tracey Ullman

[@gregor-samsa]

same for whole of Germany when she does Angela Merkel. Sad is, almost nobody in Germany knows this.

[@JeffRebornNow]

Comedian. Actor. Anything else you want to dismantle? Why the constant eroding of the English language: Have you NOTHING better to do? And yes, I realise that Comedienne is faintly French...but much of English is French ...and German...and Nordic...and Latin....Oh! FFS...where will it end!

[@patagualianmostly7437]

@@ivettecorrea1496 Hi Ivette. No, nothing wrong with my sense of humour. Thanks. And thank you for spelling "humour" correctly! That's a case in point: This constant eroding of the English Language. I accept that language changes. But it should do so by evolution. Not by arbitrary use by others who feel they know better. Especially by those who only "borrow" English as an efficient means of communication. A female actor in my book is an actress. A female comedian is a comedienne. A female sheep is a ewe. Let's all evolve naturally; not have change thrust upon us almost by force. Take care & stay well.

I figured out who played "Barry" Trevor's partner: "Michael McKean, known best for his roles in 'Laverne and Shirley' and 'This is Spinal Tap,' played Gorman Seedling, the INS agent out to prove the Coneheads are illegal immigrants."

Back when i couldn't care less about having kids i gave sperm to a bank thinking it may help some couple or some lady somewhere . After i got married and started adopting kids, well during the process of adopting the first kid (i am not sterile , obviously , i am just gay) i started wondering what had happened to my little donation . So i went back to the bank and asked if it had been used . There was none of it left , apparently tall green eyed, Scandinavian med student (at that time , now vet and ethologist) sperm is quite popular. I am glad i did it, but i wonder how many kids i have out there , and if they ever try to contact me to find out who is their biological father , what am i going to tell them , and is that even possible to find me . Also i wonder of any of them is going to be gay as well. What if they are gay and in a family which rejects them for that ? Would the parents blame the sperm donor (me) would the kid or teenager more like try to find me , and can he or she ? To anyone thinking about giving sperm , think it through thoroughly and do not do it on an impulse . I think sperm and eggs banks should keep a record of the donors and the inseminated women and give the kids , the right to find out who the biological parents are . I don't regret i did it, but today being a father of 5 adopted kids , i am not sure i would ever do it again . I am a vet and an animal shelters owners , and i often wonder , why use someone else(s sperm or eggs instead of adopting kids , just like it is way better to adopt animals from a shelter rather than buy them from pet shops or breeders . A women using some guy's sperm is not more of a mother than a woman who adopted kids . There is something intrinsically wrong about favoring a sperm bank to an adoption agency .

If you are a vet, you have a poor understanding of genetics and hypocrisy. A sperm donor gets the woman her own child, an adopted child is still someone else's biologically. Instead of preaching to women who want their first two kids, go over to Niger,Somalia etc and preach to the men who have 8-17 children only because they want a status symbol..
