The genius of the Gay Son sketches was setting it in Belfast during The Troubles. In a nation divided along sectarian lines that was noted for violence, intolerance and narrow-minded religious views, the attitudes of those characters discovering someone they knew was "a gay man now" was brilliantly heightened by the context. It wouldn't have been half as funny had it been set in leafy, middle class, suburban Surrey. Catherine Tate IS a clever and insightful comedian AND a bloody good actor, too.
Well said context for this. I often feel that British humour is misunderstood by American ms because they miss the context and nuances that make it what it is.
My son’s gay .He told us when he was 17 and he’s now 45 he absolutely loves this sketch When he told us we said no problem it’s fine don’t worry about it I wouldn’t change him for the world 🌎 She’s so funny definitely one of our best comedians great reaction Love from Denise in Yorkshire England 🏴😂😂🤣🤣👏👏👏💞💞😘
Catherine’s working class Belfast accent is just about perfect. I’m from there but now live in Europe. Trust me - I know people like this Irish mother. Very funny, cool that you both enjoyed it. There is a second part to this sketch - check it out.
That's Will Young on the mural, a singer from the UK who came out as gay after winning Pop Idol, the talent contest, in 2002. It's not Tom Daly, who Joe Lycett mentioned in his stand-up.
I think the funny thing to us Brits is the backdrop of Northern Ireland, her accent kills me everytime. I think there's a juxtaposition here, Northern Ireland not known for its tolerance, with its religious tensions over the years. Its just funny. The guy in the joe lycett was tom daily the Olympic diver. And the guy on the poster is Will Young a singer and winner of the show Pop Idol.
Spencer dude lol. Stop banging on about when these videos were made years ago and it wouldn’t fly anymore. We just have a dry sense of humour. Trust me this is still fine today just poking at as the last guys says there are some folk like that. Aye also it was Belfast NI. ✌️❤️🏴🇬🇧 Oh PS the guy you’re think of is Tom Daley the diver; that was Will Young in the mural. xxx
Every generation has comedy that becomes inappropriate for the next generation. That’s the best part though. Good comedy should look at things we all experience and push it far enough to highlight the absurdity of societal norms. Without seeing that, we can’t find away to make it less taboo. The exception being mean spirited comedy that just wants to make fun of something for out of ignorance.
It is will young from pop idol which was the precursor to the x factor starting.i think a newspaper maybe the sun was gonna out him so he got in first? Or maybe I'm mixing him up with the late great Stephen gatley from Irish band boyzone?rip.
If you want to see another Gay son sketch then try Harry Enfield and the Dad character who can't get his head round his son being gay and he brings his boyfriend home for the first time, That is very funny.
I think you realised that you were overthinking and making it slightly unfunny to a point.. The more you try not to tread on toes, the more you actually do it.. Just enjoy the humour for what it is.. Side note.. Definitely do some of Catherine's Derek character..
When I came out, in my teens back in the 90s, the sheer number of people suggesting I become a home decorator or hairstylist or florist was hilarious. They were all completely off the mark, and that's why this is one of my very favorite comedy videos ever.
The whole of this sketch is based on two stereotypes. The first of which is about how 'straight' people think of gay men especially when it comes to fashion, interior design and them constantly thinking about gay sex all the time. The other stereotype is about the Northern Irish divide between Nationalism / Roman Catholicism and Unionism / Protestantism during 'The Troubles' - especially when you look at the three 'toughs' towards the end of this and them asking John about whether or not their turn-ups work with their boots. This video is a triumph as far as I'm concerned because it manages to ridicule people for their outdated ideas without being really offensive. You two should watch the extended version of this video especially where John's 'granny' gives him £50 to "....go out and get himself a 'rent boy' because it's Christmas. " especially after his Mum gives him a chocolate-coated penis as her Christmas present! The new 'John' is played by Colin Morgan in that extended version and is immediately recognisable as playing Merlin in that long-running B.B.C. series.
Worth also mentioning the song they are marching along to is the "Tune" of Loyalism - The Sash - a song every Orange flute band plays on their marches.
@@JHarris533, if you notice at the start of the extra part they're in church and she calls the priest ' Father ' and after she outs John to him he winks at John - which is an obvious 'dig' at the Roman Catholic church, isn't it? 👍😁👍
As always guys you two make my day.... You should check out the sitcom "gimme gimme gimme" ..so funny....a gay man and straight woman flat sharing.... Especially the episode when a man is in the flat in the morning and who did he spend the night with 🤣🤣🤣
I think the thing that makes it funny is that she's a loving and accepting mother, but believes every single stereotype about gay people and in her efforts to be supportive embarrasses the hell out of her son. It's not the same, but I'd use the analogy of a dad that goes to see his son playing baseball and in an effort to support his son cheers like he's just hit home run when he's only made it to first base. It's nice being cheered but the son just wants his dad to shut up. In the video the son isn't the stereotypical gay man, but his mum can't help but bring up every single gay stereotype in a positive way which is mortifyingly embarrassing for him.
At 9:36 The funniest WOMAN (oh err wait a minute I might upset somebody) the funniest PERSON we have had on this channel. Freedom of speech still doing well over there in America??????🤣
The funniest part for me was watching you two squirming trying to justify finding it funny, without upsetting somebody somewhere who might be offended. Funny is funny. So relax and enjoy.
For a female sketch show try french and Saunders.dawn french and Jennifer saunders.they are known for their film parodys like silence of the lambs.they also did solo sitcoms.dawn french had the vicar of Dibley where she is the new vicar in a traditional village just after woman were legally allowed to be vicars.jennifer Saunders had absolutely fabulous where she runs a pr company they were both made and set in the 90's. Also sitcom Miranda written and starring Miranda hart.mayim balik's call me kat is based on it but obvs changed for the us.
Playing on every stereotype - we know all about fashion, home decor, we think about sex all the time...My mother was telling everyone I was gay when I came out, but nothing like this.
she is funny, Irish mummy's and their sons lol I know I'm Irish with 2 sons and we are so proud of them straight or gay couldn't care less. the accent is really well done I'm from Armagh witch is a good 45 min drive from Belfast our accent is a little softer here but she did great
Female sketch masters also include French and Saunders, (the late great) Victoria Wood Green Wing, Tracey Ullman, Smack The Pony, a lot of people like Miranda Hart. Just to get you started.
ETS21 - Did you notice 'Catelyn Stark' from Game Of Thrones on the balcony (played by the actress Michelle Fairley); she was also in 'Suits' & 'Live Another Day'.
Ha yeah that isn't what the British humour in this was about lol its simply because he's gay n likes guys he's probably feminin and likes all the rest of the things women like too.. No hate just love and the ability to take the piss out of our self's and anyone in shouting distance here 😏
As someone who is a 'gay man now' too (and has been for some time) it annoys the heck out of me that the overly sensitive little petals in the queer world (or LGBTQXYZ - they sem to add a new letter every bloody month) today find hilariously funny comedy like this to be homophobic when it's definately not. She does another queer character called Derek who is as camp as a row of tents and obviously gay but the joke is he denies it. It's so funny. You should check that out too.
If I had to sum up UK humour it would be this....'you better be very aware of your own flaws....and laugh at them hard....before you get to laugh at others. Buutttt uf you can take the piss out of yourself, you can slag off whover you wish' :)
The guy in the mural at the end is Will Young, a singer who gained fame on the X-Factor UK and is gay. The guy from the Joe Lycett video was Tom Daley, an Olympic diver who is also gay
don't try to analyse British humour, you'll just make it harder for yourselves to understand, it's just us Brits taking the piss out of ourselves. Check out the Glastonbury Festival, on this weekend
Another take on this is that she nows the local community and does in fact know the tas at hand. In this community she intuitively knows the way to manage this is to front it out, loud and proud. That is in lone with her combative personality and that attribute is one that is respected int he community. Therefore, no compromise and front it up with support wherever you can find it. Mum's always have their own wisdom. In a way she's right. This is how to react. Don't heistate, chest out front and take on all comers.
theres a couple of nan sketches which I think were both Xmas specials, one with Sheila Hancock playing her sister the other has Kathy Burke playing her daughter.
Daniel, @ 1.14 when you pulled the face as if you didn't understand. I think the actor said 'Hod carrying'. I could be wrong though. No idea if there used to be hod carriers on building sites in America but there used to be here.
Hey, I’ve been watching your reactions recently on some of the British comedy & Karl Pilkington, you guys should try and watch & maybe a reaction video on Harry Enfield it’s so funny…(especially the gay scene) love to see your reactions…
New release！！「Save Yourself」by ONE OK ROCK .Please wacth! The English music video for this song is on the "Fueled By Ramen" official channel, not the official channel of ONE OK ROCK.(Japanese band)
I’ve been watching your reactions from the start and you are both up there with the best on RUclips, keep up the amazing work. I went to Baltimore in 2018 for my 50th birthday and absolutely loved it, my auntie has lived there for over 20 years and is from the uk. And was one of the top dogs at the Maryland university. I went to see the ravens and the orioles and will never forget how amazing it was . I’m from Liverpool and it Liverpool football club, ravens and orioles for life 👏🇺🇸👏⚽️🏈🇬🇧⚾️🇺🇸🏈⚾️🏐
Several years ago, My old housemate and I were walking together (I was headed to the bus stop to go into the city and he was going to the gym just past the bus stop) and as we get to the bus stop we say goodbye and as he was about to walk off he turns to the 4 or 5 people waiting at the bus stop and says “have you heard about our Ryan? He’s a gay man now!” Everyone just looked at me and giggled I went bright red and kept my head down lol 😂😂😂
Absolutely hilarious and as you guys point it's probably closer to the truth than most people imagine, although its definitely more of a generational thing now, my eldest once told me if he was gay he would have no problem coming out to me or his mother but there's no chance he would ever come out to his gran. My 2 kids have always known the score they can come out as gay etc and they would be fully accepted there is only one thing that will ever get them disowned given that my side of the family are Scottish and my other halfs side of the family are English either of them come out as a supporter of the English football team and that's it done lol. Given you guys recent content is to do with pride week you should check out Kevin Bridges Modern Parenting it would fit in well particularly as it contains the best unintentional gender neutral phrase in the world.
just wanted to ask if you guys could check out a program called chewin the fat. It’s a Scottish sketch show and one of the most well known series of sketches are the “he’s started masturbating” ones which look very similar to these sketches but Chewing the fat started 2 years before. Please check it out, some of the best Scottish humour ever.
The joke is that he's just a normal boy who happens to be gay but just wanna watch the football game and mind his own business, but everyone is pushing their stereotypes on him. I know how it feels--been there. 😅
for things to look into , try a couple of comedy shows from the UK one is Look Around You, its a piss take of old School Education Videos, another is The Day Today, whish is another piss take of the News, a bit like The Onion
The joke is 3 fold but additionally hits home in 2015 - 2022: Moms/Dads getting way too interested in your personal life and being cringe. Subverting expectations - here's a very moralistic mother who's very opinionated and seems like she'd be upse... nah, it's fine. OVER-acceptance. Treating people as individuals eliminates all bigotry but nah - he's part of a collective now, stereotypes and undue attention and all. Now the infomercial 😁for UK and brethren in the USA: I'm gay and most gay men I've ever been friends with as well as my partner related to this 100% back in the day. We since then hate LGBT-whatever, rainbows, parades - the idea WAS we are individuals and need basic equality under the law - the rest of our lives ought to be up to us. Mission: Accomplished. Little did we know the next-gen were being primed for something more... 1 day of solemn remembrance for Stonewall might be good for everyone to remember liberty wasn't always afforded to everyone but a month of whatever this new culture is? Scary - here's the why: Now it's special protections, pandering, sycophancy and the silent majority are ironically offended by it all but a LOT of straight people seem to side with the fringe rainbow crew? Most gay men in particular feel the same way I do but nobody cares or listens. We are accused of 'hate ourselves' and have the wrong opinion because we have 'internalised homophobia'. Nonsense but a smart way for those in-line to shut out dissenting voices and monopolise the megaphone. Bullying works. We have to put up with the new culture like this poor kid in a comedy sketch(!) has to tolerate the new tidal wave of sycophancy. I hope it passes, otherwise the next-gen will see a backlash as resentment builds for 'straight' now even being demonised. People are re-divided but should already be just people none hurting anyone with our private, consentual decisions. Would be funny but it's now a kind of reality. I'll keep mentioning this whenever relevant but too many of us are ironically back in the 'closet' from cringe and LGBT on LGBT bullying. It's very unnerving and many feel awkward and outcast like this kid all June every year. P.S. Sorry for the potential downer on this video and please don't interpret the text in anything other than a plain voice. Just trying to offer a quiet, contrary voice to anyone who might listen and realise that there's a very weird shift in culture and this sketch offers a microcosm view into it. No need for sympathy I'm just explaining state of play for people to make informed decisions about the current cultural direction on this topic. Enjoy the food for thought! 😄
I can totally see where you're coming from. Isn't it all part of the 'woke' movement? I'm just a simple woman looking on from the fringes of society and everything has to have a cause rallying behind it. I hope we can soon get to a point where we can all live the life we want without all the bells and whistles that currently goes with it. I do think that people are beginning to get tired of it.
@@ladykaycey Very much the Woke movement is responsible. Woke can be summed up (I am biased as an opponent of course) as: Focusing in group distinction based on how you're born. So the same sorts of issues for race, gender and sex too will happen. I oppose this, as treating people as individuals was demonstrably better for our societies in the late 90's and early 21st Century, in my view. This is now being challenged by reverting to 'groupthing' but changing the pecking order from majority superiority to minority prestige and I believe that setting people into arbitrary groups is going to cause a sort of cultural civil 'war' if not revoked as an idea.
Your comment is not a downer at all. I'm so confused and disorientated by the modern world (compared with growing up in the 90s, which isn't that long ago). I just want everyone to get along on a level playing field. Get on and enjoy life.
I don't agree with this at all. Pride shouldn't be "solemn," it should be a celebration! If you don't want to participate fair enough, but I don't understand why you wouldn't want it to happen. Celebrating pride is not the same as what happens in this sketch. When you say most gay men agree, I think you mean most gay men over a certain age!
@@wozzywick Check out Stonewall Riots for a reason for a solomn attitude. Check polling for attitudes across various demographics including gay men. There's a lot of analysis, data and research as well as stories across the UK and USA so if you want to go down that research route on the happy internet highway good luck it's 3 decades worth. This sketch definitely resonates with the majority outside the 'Pride' party tent. I assure you! Good luck to you in whatever you do.

Everything I wanted to say you covered it brilliantly. Now please delete it so I can sound clever. Thanx in advance:)
Bang on. Excellently put.
Precisely on the mark. That is the comedic genius of this stroke.
Such a clear spot on take on this sketch. Sadly our American cousins haven’t got there yet.
My son’s gay .He told us when he was 17 and he’s now 45 he absolutely loves this sketch When he told us we said no problem it’s fine don’t worry about it I wouldn’t change him for the world 🌎 She’s so funny definitely one of our best comedians great reaction Love from Denise in Yorkshire England 🏴😂😂🤣🤣👏👏👏💞💞😘
Catherine’s working class Belfast accent is just about perfect. I’m from there but now live in Europe. Trust me - I know people like this Irish mother. Very funny, cool that you both enjoyed it. There is a second part to this sketch - check it out.
totally, I was waiting for a wooden spoon to appear.. lol
That's Will Young on the mural, a singer from the UK who came out as gay after winning Pop Idol, the talent contest, in 2002. It's not Tom Daly, who Joe Lycett mentioned in his stand-up.
I think the funny thing to us Brits is the backdrop of Northern Ireland, her accent kills me everytime. I think there's a juxtaposition here, Northern Ireland not known for its tolerance, with its religious tensions over the years. Its just funny. The guy in the joe lycett was tom daily the Olympic diver. And the guy on the poster is Will Young a singer and winner of the show Pop Idol.
Alabama might be a good comparison for the stereotypical culture backdrop here.
I think the whole point of this is to actually take the piss out of the bigots. A bit like blazing saddles, so many people miss the point.
Spencer dude lol. Stop banging on about when these videos were made years ago and it wouldn’t fly anymore. We just have a dry sense of humour. Trust me this is still fine today just poking at as the last guys says there are some folk like that. Aye also it was Belfast NI. ✌️❤️🏴🇬🇧
Oh PS the guy you’re think of is Tom Daley the diver; that was Will Young in the mural. xxx

I think that’s Will Young in the mural at the end of the video. Will Young rose to fame on one of the early singing shows & came out publicly as gay.
I thought it was the lad in the sketch, does look a bit like will young tho
I thought it was Will Young?....I'm not sure now!!! 🤔 lol
It is will young from pop idol which was the precursor to the x factor starting.i think a newspaper maybe the sun was gonna out him so he got in first? Or maybe I'm mixing him up with the late great Stephen gatley from Irish band boyzone?rip.
Will is the OG!!! Pop Idol UK first ever winner of any of the Idols I believe. Love him
Derek is another one of Catherine Tate's characters and is definitely a 'must see!' Ideally go for the compilation video and you won't regret it x
How very dare you!!!
@@remimoses3769 lol beat me to it
Yes, I agree.I've just posted a similar comment to yours to back u up.I think they will go for it because they like her a lot.
Agree. Derek is a must.
Who dear? Me dear? GAY DEAR? no dear.
Catelyn Stark from Game of Thrones there too.
Aaah Americans over Analysing as usual. Its just a funny look at Gay stereotyping but in a positive and humourous way.
If you want to see another Gay son sketch then try Harry Enfield and the Dad character who can't get his head round his son being gay and he brings his boyfriend home for the first time, That is very funny.
I think you realised that you were overthinking and making it slightly unfunny to a point..
The more you try not to tread on toes, the more you actually do it..
Just enjoy the humour for what it is..
Side note.. Definitely do some of Catherine's Derek character..
Who dear? me dear? gay dear? no dear! :D
You guys should react to little Britain and Matt Lucas’s ‘the only gay in the village’
When I came out, in my teens back in the 90s, the sheer number of people suggesting I become a home decorator or hairstylist or florist was hilarious. They were all completely off the mark, and that's why this is one of my very favorite comedy videos ever.
Living in Northern Ireland her Belfast accent is great.
And how A Belfast Mother would boast about her child. Great.

Also sitcom Miranda written and starring Miranda hart.mayim balik's call me kat is based on it but obvs changed for the us.
Absolutely love Catherine Tate. Am a Canadian but love the British comics and sense of humour
You guys know there’s a second episode of the Gay Son skit? It, also, is hilarious!
Thanks for that guys I hadn't seen this one before, I was worried at first when he told her he was gay, what a brilliant reaction
The most controversial thing in this is the choice of song when they are marching😮😂😂
Nothing controversial about it 🤣..it is old but it is beautiful 🇬🇧
Playing on every stereotype - we know all about fashion, home decor, we think about sex all the time...My mother was telling everyone I was gay when I came out, but nothing like this.
she is funny, Irish mummy's and their sons lol I know I'm Irish with 2 sons and we are so proud of them straight or gay couldn't care less. the accent is really well done I'm from Armagh witch is a good 45 min drive from Belfast our accent is a little softer here but she did great
Looked like you were both struggling a bit with the Belfast accent at first xx
Her characters are always truly extraordinary!
It's not the guy from the Joe Lycett video. The pic is of Will Young, a British singer who won Pop Idol and came out as gay afterwards.
Female sketch masters also include French and Saunders, (the late great) Victoria Wood Green Wing, Tracey Ullman, Smack The Pony, a lot of people like Miranda Hart. Just to get you started.
The guy on the poster at the end is .. WILL YOUNG.. he's a gay singer & actor from England x
The accents are perfect in this
Thanks for doing all the pride content, really appreciate it as a gay fan who’s been following you for a while now. Thanks lads
I recently found out that her gay son, John, is actor Colin Morgan , plays Merlin in the BBC fantasy series.
I have 2 gay sons that r happy and we have banter all the time xx the cock situation is a bit far xx but we embrace xxx 🇬🇧 xxx
ETS21 - Did you notice 'Catelyn Stark' from Game Of Thrones on the balcony (played by the actress Michelle Fairley); she was also in 'Suits' & 'Live Another Day'.

She does another queer character called Derek who is as camp as a row of tents and obviously gay but the joke is he denies it. It's so funny. You should check that out too.
I’ve literally seen no one in the queer community that think sketches like these are problematic… you’re making problems where there aren’t any
Hear hear!
Who noticed Michelle Fairley (Game of Thrones )
The poster features Will Young, who won a talent show in the UK (and is gay), it is not Tom Daley from the Joe Lycett video
If I had to sum up UK humour it would be this....'you better be very aware of your own flaws....and laugh at them hard....before you get to laugh at others. Buutttt uf you can take the piss out of yourself, you can slag off whover you wish' :)

Dudes you need to watch Ricky Gervais's afterlife 'the bloopers'..loads of laughs, it's brilliant
Katherine tate really nails it every time
Mom is trying her best to be supportive, but she's overshooting the mark! This is BEFORE 'Queer Eye' but captures the same idea.
don't try to analyse British humour, you'll just make it harder for yourselves to understand, it's just us Brits taking the piss out of ourselves. Check out the Glastonbury Festival, on this weekend

American here. I thought he said "hard carrying".
Anyone catch who the neighbor lady on the balcony was? It was Catelyn Stark.
Terrific comedian and actress, the irish accent is brilliant
I totally luv your reaction. Gotta luv Catherine Tate. Pure talent 🎉
Hey, I’ve been watching your reactions recently on some of the British comedy & Karl Pilkington, you guys should try and watch & maybe a reaction video on Harry Enfield it’s so funny…(especially the gay scene) love to see your reactions…
If you have lived in Britain that is a very straight forward dialect to listen to. Just like for those in the US southern is easy but not for others.

Indeed I did, is a popular Irish catch phrase.
Absolutely hilarious and as you guys point it's probably closer to the truth than most people imagine, although its definitely more of a generational thing now, my eldest once told me if he was gay he would have no problem coming out to me or his mother but there's no chance he would ever come out to his gran.
My 2 kids have always known the score they can come out as gay etc and they would be fully accepted there is only one thing that will ever get them disowned given that my side of the family are Scottish and my other halfs side of the family are English either of them come out as a supporter of the English football team and that's it done lol.
Given you guys recent content is to do with pride week you should check out Kevin Bridges Modern Parenting it would fit in well particularly as it contains the best unintentional gender neutral phrase in the world.
The tune played is " the sash my father wore" known as "the sash" am sure protestants will not be impressed. But it's very funny.
The Catherine Tate "Sexual Harassment" skit is hilarious. Hope you guys get a chance to react to it.
Also please check out Catherine Tate's characters The posh family.
just wanted to ask if you guys could check out a program called chewin the fat. It’s a Scottish sketch show and one of the most well known series of sketches are the “he’s started masturbating” ones which look very similar to these sketches but Chewing the fat started 2 years before. Please check it out, some of the best Scottish humour ever.
Check out Harry Enfield’s “Gay Son”.
I think Spencer will have a woke meltdown watching that one lol
Love your reaction - pity you have a Supreme Court that hates women having any rights !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
😂🤣😂 I'm laughing at you not with you just to be clear
They need to add the sketch when they're giving Christmas presents out after mass
Catherine Tate does a great Belfast accent.
7 minutes in, it is humour boys
You still don’t get British humour , it’s irony
I think Daniel does, but Spencer definitely doesnt
Catherine Tate and George Michael is a good one to watch
The joke is that he's just a normal boy who happens to be gay but just wanna watch the football game and mind his own business, but everyone is pushing their stereotypes on him. I know how it feels--been there. 😅
If you were after Derek you got the wrong sketch... all good, means we get more Catherine Tate.
Hey guys!!! You should check out Catherine Tate’s funniest moments on 8 out of 10 cats. Really funny!
Love anything Catherine Tate does
Guys, you must react to Catherine Tate's Derek character compilation she's hilarious.
for things to look into , try a couple of comedy shows from the UK one is Look Around You, its a piss take of old School Education Videos, another is The Day Today, whish is another piss take of the News, a bit like The Onion
The joke is 3 fold but additionally hits home in 2015 - 2022:
Moms/Dads getting way too interested in your personal life and being cringe.
Subverting expectations - here's a very moralistic mother who's very opinionated and seems like she'd be upse... nah, it's fine.
OVER-acceptance. Treating people as individuals eliminates all bigotry but nah - he's part of a collective now, stereotypes and undue attention and all.
Now the infomercial 😁for UK and brethren in the USA:
I'm gay and most gay men I've ever been friends with as well as my partner related to this 100% back in the day. We since then hate LGBT-whatever, rainbows, parades - the idea WAS we are individuals and need basic equality under the law - the rest of our lives ought to be up to us. Mission: Accomplished. Little did we know the next-gen were being primed for something more... 1 day of solemn remembrance for Stonewall might be good for everyone to remember liberty wasn't always afforded to everyone but a month of whatever this new culture is? Scary - here's the why:
Now it's special protections, pandering, sycophancy and the silent majority are ironically offended by it all but a LOT of straight people seem to side with the fringe rainbow crew? Most gay men in particular feel the same way I do but nobody cares or listens. We are accused of 'hate ourselves' and have the wrong opinion because we have 'internalised homophobia'. Nonsense but a smart way for those in-line to shut out dissenting voices and monopolise the megaphone. Bullying works.
We have to put up with the new culture like this poor kid in a comedy sketch(!) has to tolerate the new tidal wave of sycophancy. I hope it passes, otherwise the next-gen will see a backlash as resentment builds for 'straight' now even being demonised. People are re-divided but should already be just people none hurting anyone with our private, consentual decisions. Would be funny but it's now a kind of reality.
I'll keep mentioning this whenever relevant but too many of us are ironically back in the 'closet' from cringe and LGBT on LGBT bullying. It's very unnerving and many feel awkward and outcast like this kid all June every year.
P.S. Sorry for the potential downer on this video and please don't interpret the text in anything other than a plain voice. Just trying to offer a quiet, contrary voice to anyone who might listen and realise that there's a very weird shift in culture and this sketch offers a microcosm view into it. No need for sympathy I'm just explaining state of play for people to make informed decisions about the current cultural direction on this topic. Enjoy the food for thought! 😄
I can totally see where you're coming from. Isn't it all part of the 'woke' movement?
I'm just a simple woman looking on from the fringes of society and everything has to have a cause rallying behind it. I hope we can soon get to a point where we can all live the life we want without all the bells and whistles that currently goes with it. I do think that people are beginning to get tired of it.
@@ladykaycey Very much the Woke movement is responsible. Woke can be summed up (I am biased as an opponent of course) as:
Focusing in group distinction based on how you're born. So the same sorts of issues for race, gender and sex too will happen.
I oppose this, as treating people as individuals was demonstrably better for our societies in the late 90's and early 21st Century, in my view. This is now being challenged by reverting to 'groupthing' but changing the pecking order from majority superiority to minority prestige and I believe that setting people into arbitrary groups is going to cause a sort of cultural civil 'war' if not revoked as an idea.
Your comment is not a downer at all. I'm so confused and disorientated by the modern world (compared with growing up in the 90s, which isn't that long ago). I just want everyone to get along on a level playing field. Get on and enjoy life.
I don't agree with this at all. Pride shouldn't be "solemn," it should be a celebration! If you don't want to participate fair enough, but I don't understand why you wouldn't want it to happen. Celebrating pride is not the same as what happens in this sketch. When you say most gay men agree, I think you mean most gay men over a certain age!
@@wozzywick Check out Stonewall Riots for a reason for a solomn attitude. Check polling for attitudes across various demographics including gay men. There's a lot of analysis, data and research as well as stories across the UK and USA so if you want to go down that research route on the happy internet highway good luck it's 3 decades worth. This sketch definitely resonates with the majority outside the 'Pride' party tent. I assure you! Good luck to you in whatever you do.
Spencer before you go to Sam fender buy a Newcastle United football shirt (jersey) you will stand out to him!
Are you watching him in Glastonbury now?
Bbc iPlayer online
Hey Spencer try get a home made flag saying (“lowlights tavern! Nufc!) if that doesn’t get u recognised, soz I tried!
Reverse stereotyping - brilliant.
Just reinforcing the suggestion that you react to Catherine Tate as Derek, and as Irish Lesbian Nurse, Bernie.
Katelyn Stark damnit!!!
Well Spotted - Michelle Fairley indeed !
Please please please react to her Geordue Georgie character it is one of her best ever
Checkout James Corden in The only gay in the village sketches from Little Britain.
Me and some friends of mine watched this when it was first on TV, and we thought this was hilarious, and we’re gay 👍
Quality
No, no, no, Derek is a separate character.
British humour is different to US humour..
Did you notice lady stark in this sketch ???
Another female to check out buds, is Lilly Singh. She's v.funny.
And if you can handle it? Jimmy Carr 'Roast Battle'. ;-)
Another great female comedian is Sarah Milligan ( stand up) try woman’s bits!
It’s a comedy skit, you guys need to lighten up and just enjoy it without having a woke meltdown.
Playing "the sash at the end so their Protestants.
