One of the most brilliant comedy sketches ever. Angry, northern ireland mother, living on a council estate and then she makes a complete 180 when he breaks the news. hysterical.
My mum is kind of like this actually. Ever since I came out to her, I've noticed that she's started asking me my opinion on clothes instead of my dad. I guess it's a compliment?
These sketches are up there in my favoruite of all time. Being gay myself, its nice to see the joke being on the stereotype and how stupidly people act when you say youre gay. Its a breath of fresh air when shows a lot of the time just some cheap shots making the charachter stereotypical. Its relatable and funny for me, while educating and entertaining those who cant relate. Brilliant writing here 👏
I told my friend I was nonbinary recently and she had this whole Oprah Winfrey moment of "oh wow you're so courageous for standing up and being yourself and living your true life" spiel, honestly sometimes straight reactions can be funny as fuck when you're trying to just have a toned down "oh btw I'm x" talk lol
@@TheHorseOutside gay/nonbinary/abcd is a mental dysunction, but people are forced to pretend it's normal, no wonder they are not doing the best they can they would just say this funny af overblown bs to be left alone
His parents are so supportive. The mother is hilarious. I think that this sketch shows that the people are good people and love their son no matter what. I like the fact that when others find out that he is gay, they don’t hurt or mistreat this man. They want fashion and decorating tips. Lol. He stands up for himself by not volunteering to do these things. I loved the sketch. The people may not be rich, but they are smart, kind and loving. That is worth more than gold.
@@bm4114 In my opinion, the value in sketches like this is not pretending like this is reality, but in showing people (particularly people who are not gay or possibly even homophobic) how EASY it would be for this to become reality. It's like showing a hypothetical of "What if you were actually nice to gay people?". It is demonstrating to people who oppose gay rights (or are just mean to gay people) "Look, society wouldn't crumble. You can treat gay people with respect and still have a decent life yourself. Nobody gains anything from your homophobia and everyone would be better off if you just didn't do that." If every piece of media was "accurate to reality"- i.e. filled with homophobia, etc.- homophobes would probably just feel even more affirmed in their opinions because all of the media they consume would show characters agreeing with them.
@@madeleine61509 my reply was not about the sketch, it was about the original commenter’s fantasy that the sketch reflects reality, or that this sketch should be what reality looks like. But let’s talk about the sketch. It’s for straight people, as you say to “demonstrate the world won’t crumble”, but it sure does pigeon hole gays as a certain thing, decorators and makeup artists, and clearly it is making the gay guy uncomfortable, as he is not one of those types of gays. You see the people in this town are so clueless about anything gay that even when they are being “open minded” they’re still a bunch of idiots harming a gay person. Sure the sketch is a fantasy and a joke, but as a gay person it’s not the fantasy or the joke for me. Marking his coming out with a series of stereotypes about gays and we’re all supposed to laugh and feel good. Can’t help but feel like this sketch is for straight people who just don’t get it, and probably never will. Listen, and I’m sure you already know this, but if a gay person comes out to you, don’t ask them for decorating advice unless they are a decorator and you’re paying them. Just my perspective and I wouldn’t dare tell someone else they should agree with me, gay or straight.
:D What I don't quite get is that it appears to be worse to have to tell one's mother about it? If I were gay I'd probably be more frightened of my fathers reaction.. what are your thoughts on that? It kind of interests me why that is.
***** omg no way I was excited to tell my mom, I didn't necessarily tell her though I just told her that I think Leonardo DiCaprio is sexy and she agreed and gave me a hug and it just went on from there, I didn't come out to my dad I just gave my mom permission to tell him. He took it very well however he always tells me to stop if ever I discuss how attractive a man is with my mom whilst in his presence and also he doesn't like it when I do something that's feminine?
+PureNightfall - It's not a matter of being Americans it's a matter of exposure. Americans for the most part didn't grow up with UK shows absolutely everywhere when they were kids. I think for future actors who are kids now the internet will have changed things a lot.
@- - Oh I am sure there are plenty of people like that. Just like I am sure that there are plenty of people that like to have gay children. The spectrum is very broad you know.
I grew up as one of two queer people in my Christian high school and this sketch really helped me and my friend feel like we were in an accepting world. It holds a special place in my heart for that, as well as being funny as hell.
@Blue Catherine Tate's still around doing her thing, literally nothing has happened to her and people are getting flak for things years older than this. It's been bullshit but what equally bullshit is the outrage about outrage. You people need to stop posting hypotheticals about what could happen and dragging hyperbole because it's just absolute nonsense to be so hung on 5% of twitter than you're making up fake outrage to be outraged about outrage.
Transgender men who identify as women who are not transgender at all get to change in female changing rooms so they can be perverse because of sensitive emotions like that
Made me howl of laughter. Soon as I came out gay I had people asking for fashion advice and when I moved into student dorms people assumed I would be up for going to pride with rainbow flags. Edit: I like Pride as a protest, just not the whole part after with flags etc
I seriously cannot get enough of this!! 😂 It will never get old for me. I've watched it well over a hundred times, and can do so some more 😂 I have shared this with about everyone I know! Best written script about 'coming out', EVER. I know one thing. I'll never tire of it. Catherine Tate is hilarious! Dead set. I am grateful to whomever posted this! For those who don't remotely find this comedy sketch the least bit funny. You need checking out! Well. Well. Welllllll!! 😂 She's the best!!! Great work!!
I hope y’all are joking because this is not the way to mother a gay kid. Being accepting, yes. Being loving yes. Being like this woman and rolling out stereotypes and showing off for your friends, no. Luckily most of these comments go back 4 and 5 years and maybe this sketch isn’t as funny as it used to seem.
Since I came out as gay it’s been the other way. Immediately my Dad wants to take me to matches and to go races etc. Dad just because I’m girl attracted to other girls does not mean I’m masculine. I’d rather go shopping with my Mum tbh. My mum is only worried about me giving her grandkids.
Yea, that's what many of the people commenting about how great it is that they are "so accepting" are missing. They literally treat him like a different person bc of his sexuality, not his real interests. Doesn't matter if they aren't calling him names, they are still applying a stereotype.
When my aunts found out I was gay they immediately called me begging me to go shopping with them. 😂 And to take them out dancing to the best gay nightclubs here in NYC. 🤣 I took both of them out to a Madonna concert! 😊
This was the most complained about Catherine Tate character. Not because he was gay, but because of the way the Irish are represented. Interesting really...
Haha this is my mum when I came out in Northern Ireland haha I was standing there for ages and she was asking was it drugs did I get someone pregnant etc haha fucking love it. :)
I just LOVE the Northern Irish accent, it's beautiful to listen to. My Mum is from N.I. and she hates her accent, I tell her she's being silly and the rest of the world love it, am I right? Catherine Tate is a supreme comedy writer btw, love this sketch.
All depends, 'a NI accent' as such does not exist, there are hundreds, maybe thousands of different ones. Belfast (also depending where from in Belfast) doesn't sound the same full stop compared to Ballymoney (more Scottish) , Londonderry, Omagh or Newry. Just like everywhere else.
Just like there is no 'standard' English accent, there's isn't a standard N. Irish one either. The ones from the North sound totally different to the ones from East, West or South with audible differences sometimes from town to town not very far apart, occasionally even using different words for the same things.
This is too real! I am from a big close family that I pleasantly describe as "shirefolk". I came out to my mum but not my family. NOT because I thought they would hate me....but more worried they would treat me different and forget I am the exact same. But they didn't thank god. Hell my mum acted how the mum did here....I had to put my foot down and be like "Nothings changed mum! I like heavy metal, I like cage fighting, I still like nerdy stuff, I ain't camp, I just like dudes"...she gets it now :P
I don't know why YT got me here and I am not gay, but to me this brilliant sketch is about loving mothers just as much as coming out as gay. Mothers or fathers that really try to be supportive and do their best, but miss the point in their efforts. Sometimes they might hurt more than they help, but they are trying their best.
I agree with you but honestly I would rather have this type of a mother then you know having the opposite words always bad you're wrong we don't love you well we love you but only if you do this this and this in a way. And I appreciate you saying what you. yeah my algorithm is amazing because the stuff that pops up randomly. Ita crazy but 🤣💀💀💀 till I can't breath and my abs hurt.
Catherine Tate is fantastic~wonderful, lovely and a comical genius. Her humor and acting abilities are a pleasure to watch and listen to.~ I have all of her shows on dvd's and I also found her to be great on the t.v. sitcom the office~I wish her nothing but the best and thank you for making me laugh.~
The fact that this is over 14 years old says so much not only about Catherine Tate and the network this was on but also about the people in the UK. Fourteen years later you still would never see this on US television. They would have to pull it after the first commercial there would be so many complaints.
@@tayto2k12I'm murican as well. And I know you are a total bullshitter. We allow blatant sexualization of females of all ages, abject violence in comedy and the news about LGBTQIA people in the murocan media, but try to actually present the TRUTH about queer murica, and oh no! Too much for the religious zealots and cowards who would rather be savage simpletons than EVAR REALLY have mutual love and respect for others like them. According to my facts, if all the religious karens of murica were exsposed with the families, THEN we'd see the fucked up corruption.
As a mother of a gay man this was pure gold to watch...😅😅😅 hes a godsend alright and yes,he offers fashion tips especially when he hates what im wearing !!
I love how she says “You’re a… a WUUUUUT?!” at 1:17 🤣 And “Do these turn-ups work with these boots?” at 4:38 had me in pain laughing when I first watched it when it originally aired.
I can relate to the magazine scene. I'll be watching tv and my mum will turn to me with a picture of a naked guy and say something "phwor" or "look at THAT". It feels really wierd but it's funny. This sketch is about the ideologies that are planted in peoples brains. Instead of seeing homosexuality in a negative light it it shown as something positive while still keeping the iconographic gay stereotype. BTW: The cinematography and lighting is fantastic.
The funniest part was the world-weary look the father gave at the end of the first scene, how he instantly knew that the only problem out of all of this would be the mother LOL
These are some of my favourite Catherine Tate sketches. Should be how all parents/family react when their children “come out”. This is pretty much how I reacted when my eldest son told us he was gay when he was in his early 20’s. I had been waiting for years for him to get up the nerve to tell us and come out publicly! Catherine Tate can take on so many different characters and accents and be totally believable, she is so underrated. My favourite character of hers has to be old Nan though. 😂
I absolutely love this sketch. Catherine Tate is brilliant. I loved watching her from the start, she's brilliant. Fantastic, wonderful Irish accent xxx
Hilarious. This kind of thing has happened to me when some people find out I am gay. They suddenly want me to be their fashion consultant when I don't really know much about clothes.
I thought this was a totally serious movie clip and was terrified for this guy wondering why would you wanna tell her anything… What a pleasant surprise!!! Hilarious 😂
This is a really sweet sketch actually, because truth be told, if you are around good people- this is genuinely what coming out can be like. You spend years agonising about the fear of being disowned and abused- you feel like you carry this dirty secret, and that your whole world will come crashing down if it ever comes out. and then you finally take the plunge, consequences be damned!, i'd rather be hated for someone I am than loved for someone I'm not!!!!!.... and then everyone just starts being kind of fucking annoying for a while instead.

Had to watch this twice, way too funny!!! Big shout out to the actors! Just Brilliant! 👌🏻😂😂😂
When my son came out I couldnt have been happier. This is hilarious.
I don't know why YT got me here and I am not gay, but to me this brilliant sketch is about loving mothers just as much as coming out as gay. Mothers or fathers that really try to be supportive and do their best, but miss the point in their efforts. Sometimes they might hurt more than they help, but they are trying their best.
I agree with you but honestly I would rather have this type of a mother then you know having the opposite words always bad you're wrong we don't love you well we love you but only if you do this this and this in a way. And I appreciate you saying what you. yeah my algorithm is amazing because the stuff that pops up randomly. Ita crazy but 🤣💀💀💀 till I can't breath and my abs hurt.
Catherine Tate is fantastic~wonderful, lovely and a comical genius. Her humor and acting abilities are a pleasure to watch and listen to.~ I have all of her shows on dvd's and I also found her to be great on the t.v. sitcom the office~I wish her nothing but the best and thank you for making me laugh.~
The fact that this is over 14 years old says so much not only about Catherine Tate and the network this was on but also about the people in the UK. Fourteen years later you still would never see this on US television. They would have to pull it after the first commercial there would be so many complaints.
sincerely doubt it
@@tayto2k12I'm murican as well. And I know you are a total bullshitter. We allow blatant sexualization of females of all ages, abject violence in comedy and the news about LGBTQIA people in the murocan media, but try to actually present the TRUTH about queer murica, and oh no! Too much for the religious zealots and cowards who would rather be savage simpletons than EVAR REALLY have mutual love and respect for others like them. According to my facts, if all the religious karens of murica were exsposed with the families, THEN we'd see the fucked up corruption.
Catelyn Stark!
As a mother of a gay man this was pure gold to watch...😅😅😅 hes a godsend alright and yes,he offers fashion tips especially when he hates what im wearing !!
If only people were to be annoyingly accepting
jessejauregui
Hahahaha... This is great.
"indeed I did" I don't know why, I love the way she says that
I stayed with a friend in Belfast once, and I have to say that is a very accurate portrayal!
I love how she says “You’re a… a WUUUUUT?!” at 1:17 🤣
And “Do these turn-ups work with these boots?” at 4:38 had me in pain laughing when I first watched it when it originally aired.
Where has Catherine Tate been all my life?
The tongue n groove is hilarious.
Each reaction was unpredictable and hilarious. Very funny!!
The thugs knocking at the door is the best one.
Right. ….. Do these turn ups work with these boots?
😂
Come back to watch this every now and again... Awesome!
This woman is such a talented person, all the accents, acting and the laughter I've had over her shoes is unreal!
I can relate to the magazine scene. I'll be watching tv and my mum will turn to me with a picture of a naked guy and say something "phwor" or "look at THAT". It feels really wierd but it's funny. This sketch is about the ideologies that are planted in peoples brains. Instead of seeing homosexuality in a negative light it it shown as something positive while still keeping the iconographic gay stereotype. BTW: The cinematography and lighting is fantastic.
The funniest part was the world-weary look the father gave at the end of the first scene, how he instantly knew that the only problem out of all of this would be the mother LOL
the way she says liar at the beginning
3:33 Zer mer gersh. Is that Catelyn Stark? I love!
Well spotted! :)
Omg this is so bloody hilarious!!! I was not ready!!! 😂 😂 😂
These are some of my favourite Catherine Tate sketches. Should be how all parents/family react when their children “come out”. This is pretty much how I reacted when my eldest son told us he was gay when he was in his early 20’s. I had been waiting for years for him to get up the nerve to tell us and come out publicly!
Catherine Tate can take on so many different characters and accents and be totally believable, she is so underrated. My favourite character of hers has to be old Nan though. 😂
My wife is from Northern Ireland and her family is exactly like this.
My coffee spewed out of my mouth as I laughed so hard watching this this morning!
Thanks for posting. Anything Catherine Tate does is solid gold! ❤☮🌎
This is so so so wholesome, I love it
lol this is exactly how my mum would act if i was gay 😂😂
Catherine Tate is a brilliant comic... these sketches never get old.
Absolutely hilarious, Catherine Tate is so funny. And to pull off that Irish accent so perfectly is just awesome
Loved this. She has the Norn Iron accent off to a T. Very funny.
I just learned about this show today. I’m watching every episode I find. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I absolutely love this sketch. Catherine Tate is brilliant. I loved watching her from the start, she's brilliant. Fantastic, wonderful Irish accent xxx
Hilarious. This kind of thing has happened to me when some people find out I am gay. They suddenly want me to be their fashion consultant when I don't really know much about clothes.
Too funny.
AT LAST! The comedic genius of Catelyn Stark on glorious display!
OMG!! Catherine Tate is sooo funny. Love her posh people series too.
I love how at the start the dad is just noding along with what his wife says and painting his model tank
He just look so defeated in all of these scenes. 🤣
She does the BEST Northern Irish accent I've heard! When my English friends try to imitate us it's hilaaarious.
This video needs to be shared to all gay people and their parents!!!
This never gets old - and Catherine Tate is a genius!
I thought this was a totally serious movie clip and was terrified for this guy wondering why would you wanna tell her anything…
What a pleasant surprise!!! Hilarious 😂
I can’t get enough of this! I could watch it over and over!
This is a really sweet sketch actually, because truth be told, if you are around good people- this is genuinely what coming out can be like.
You spend years agonising about the fear of being disowned and abused- you feel like you carry this dirty secret, and that your whole world will come crashing down if it ever comes out.
and then you finally take the plunge, consequences be damned!, i'd rather be hated for someone I am than loved for someone I'm not!!!!!....
and then everyone just starts being kind of fucking annoying for a while instead.
Poor John!
She reminds me of Kristin Wiig in these...
omg we should get these two together to do a skit that would be so awesome
+shmuli9 Except Catherine's been at it a lot longer.
But still imagine how'd they'd play off of each other
+Kelsey Springer Yes, that would be VERY funny!
This kind of sketch gets everything into perspective. Total genius. Prejudice is more often than not only skin-deep.
Dear lord , you gotta adore british humor , god i wish this is a representation of the true world. what a lovely world would that be :p
