It's the first time I see this, but I found it hilarious. Despite being offensive, it portrays the way some people perceive foreign languages.

| Catherine rules! | Jun 6, 2007 |
Yes I know this video, I find it hilarious too. I LOVE Catherine Tate and her characters. Another video that I like is called Deaf Boy, if I remember well, it cracks me up whenever I watch it! Check it out on You Tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1Z84KHaWNg
I also like the ones of the snooty husband and wife talking about the weird things they ate, like shitake mushrooms... See more Yes I know this video, I find it hilarious too.

I also like the ones of the snooty husband and wife talking about the weird things they ate, like shitake mushrooms, tempura and gazpacho... hilarious.
When I need a break I often go to youtube and look at Catherine Tate's videos. Not all her characters are really really funny, but it's a nice "time-break occupation".
One of the latest that I have seen which I find funny is the one with Daniel Craig (the latest James Bond). He's soooo good looking.

| What about granny? | Jun 6, 2007 |
Living in the UK, we got it on different channels all the time (a lot of repeats but....) and I never miss a show!
My favourite is when she does the granny and "What a f*****g liberty" has become a huge catch-phrase over here.
Am not bothered, am not bothered, am not bothered! Face, bothered, face, bothered!!

She did a really good sketch with the Prime Minister this year for Red Nose Day. This time it was Tony Blair, who was not bothered - really hilarious... and great how Tony Blair played the part.

hi Rad,
And how about other catch-phrases like "Dirty bastards!" or Derek's outraged "How dare you, how very dare youuuuu" or the final phrase that Catherine says to her office colleague:"YES, IT IS!!!", or Georgie's "double u-double u- double u dot........ dot co dot uk"... simply hilarious!
Another of my favourites is Bernie's "nunu" sketch. Take a look here:

Thank God for Youtube, I tell you!

Agreed, but that's just the trouble. Blair really ISN'T bothered.

| A quick thanks to Liliana | Jun 9, 2007 |
I clicked on the Daniel Craig link and it made my dreary day yesterday. He really is tasty, and I needed a lift after being trapped in my basement office....
