@@sarahmurphy8030 Well now, Sarah Murphy, you've undermined my intended reply to Peter John. The fact is this: I read that the original line was 'this is not my suitcase' but it was deemed injudicious because of the fear - not unreasonably, I would say -- that it would be seen as racial profiling. Having read that, I assumed that the change had no reference at all, which made it surreal and therefore all the funnier (you might be aware that a section of the British public loves surreal humour.) But now you tell me that it was lifted from an Eddie Murphy film. Oh dear, now I'll have to revise my opinion. But no matter.

@@JJBushfan I was at a recording of this show and you are correct....the line was ‘this is not my suitcase’ but they were told to change it for when it aired
Enough with that stupid "argument". This could be aired today and this is being aired today. It's clearly comedy and it's making fun of the "translator", not the different nationalities.
@@lajoswinkleryes, aired but made long time ago. Dont kid yourself, you could not make this in todays climate. People, actors were cancelled for much less.
thing is, this is so ridiculous, i don't think anyone would take offence. but the TV networks definitely would not be brave enough to air it, no way. it's impossible to take offence at something so utterly over the top.
Notice how the poeple you see offended by somthing are always on the media saying it. Cant actually remember the last time I heard your everyday average person saying they were offended by anything.
Eh, I don't know about that. There's some clearly offensive things that people cover up by calling it comedy, when the main goal is clearly to push say racist stereotypes. To be clear, I don't think this video is that.
This sketch is brilliant, and Catherine Tate is brilliant. Thank god it was made years ago, cause you couldn`t have made it today, without everyone shouting racist !!
Loved your reaction. 😂😂 I feel sorry that America didn't get this on their televisions. The Catherine Tate show was Brilliant. I wish she would do another series.
Part of the joke is that the character she is playing “Helen Marsh” is a fantasist who thinks that she can is capable of doing anything and is a recurring character in Catherine Tate shows who manages to fool people into trusting her and then letting them down spectacularly as in this case.
Well yes. That's more than part of the joke. It's the whole joke. A character that is someone who tries to blag everything. Getting more and more ridiculous. People that think it's about 'taking the mick about other people's languages' have missed the joke.
As someone who’s British and watched the Catherine Tate show, this character basically used to tell everyone that she could do anything and then do a very poor job at the task.
The character she is playing is one of those employees that always wants to please and so volunteers for everything even though she is bad at everything
The best bit is she looks at their table cards for where they are from before "translating" for them but when they get to the Chinese lady you know before even seeing her what Nationality she is.
Aww man, I can't help but keep coming back to this, my absolute favorite reaction video! You're laugh is infectious and has me cracking up no matter how many times i come back to watch it! 👍😂🇬🇧
She sounds very like me (I speak German, English and French). I was pulled into a meeting (Germany, very well-known company) to interpret, subject being the construction of a petroleum factory in India. Participants : German, Polish and Indian. The morning was horrendous (had no idea of the terminology). We broke for lunch and went off to a very liquid lunch (beer and Schnaps and Cognac). As far as I was concerned, I did well in the afternoon, pissed out of my mind (as were the Polish and Germans). Don't think anyone noticed and it was easy to get this huge contract signed....
This is classic brittish humor. Especially at this time people werent afraid to laugh at our differences, uniqueness and similarities. There are shows in other countries where they portray other cultures in a stereotypical way for comedy aswell. The fact that the extra agreed to be in the show and laughed on set shows how they enjoyed this harmless comedy. People need to remember this is nothing about laughing at people but actually laughing at ourselves when we hear a person from another culture speak it just sounds like sounds and not words. And myself being partly Indian, this is just a classic
How did she get away with this? Because we used to all be able to laugh at ourselves and each other before social media and the professionally offended took over the world.
This character in this show, always says she can do something when she can't do anything.This show ran during a time when people could laugh at themselves. When people have common sense and laugh together. A time before the woke joke army came to be.
lmao you're both lunatics. People like you have been complaining about "pc" since the damn fifties. This is a relatively recent show and isn't offensive even to SJWs like me
@@MagisterMalleus Your type pick and choose what is acceptable. One day it's ok the next not. Your ilk know not of fun, but only victimhood and self hating misery.
Brilliant Catherine Tate she’s amazing and she writes All her own material this is from the Catherine Tate show and she’s got lots of characters Love from Denise in Yorkshire England 🏴🤣🤣🤣😅😅😅🥰👍👌👋
WE love her in the UK, she was on her own tv show with her many characters, no one is left alone. She makes us all laugh, all races, colours and creeds. That is comedy at its best. Now she is an actor ;)
Another Catherine Tate sketch you should try do is Nan (guest star peter Kay) you'll love the ending first time I saw it I was doubled up laughing keep em coming ..
Apparently it took 16 takes,12 of which were due to the Chinese lady bursting into laughter, rest were the African guy. The quip about the "It's not my sandwich" is referring to the cast at lunch break and he was given the wrong sandwich and she included it in the script which made him react with that rye smile ...
![Megan Thee Stallion - Bigger In Texas [Official Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/QxTkZTLWdo4/mqdefault.jpg)
I love the way she looks so proud at the end, like she’s done a really good job.
Me to lol Its the PERFECT ending .
I'm your 100th like!
I can't imagine how many takes it took before the executives could keep themselves together while she delivered the companies message.
It took over 12 takes for the Chinese lady couldn't stop laughing 🤣
Apparently this took ages to film - the Chinese lady couldn’t stop laughing.
I bet
the thing is those noises almost certainly mean something in Cantonese

You can see the African guy really trying not to laugh.
Love this sketch haha
Your laughter is gold! I've seen this translate clip 1000 times. It is SO FUNNY! Never tire of it 🤣
For me it’s the finest work Ms Tate has ever done. Pure genius. ❤
In my opinion, the line 'this is not my sandwich' is one of the funniest lines I've ever heard in British comedy.
I never understood why. I guess I just don't get the reference.
It's from the movie with Eddie Murphy called Coming to America 😂😂

People did but you moved away from the smell of drama.
Well done for running this and we all sound weird to each other - that is just life and we should all laugh at it xD
The last fella could barely keep a straight face.
“This is not my sandwich.” 🤣
He was definitely stifling laughter. 😁👍
You could go a year with all the stuff she did.Brilliant
Comedy should never be classed as offensive.
Unless of course it can be classed as bigotry. Like Bernard Manning
@@DazzleMonroe no... he hated everyone. He said it himself.

So uplifting to see someone from across the pond enjoying English humour so much :0)
"I did a TEFL in my gap year" TEFL = Teaching English as a Foreign Language.
"THANKYOU" 😁
Exactly. But missing the point that you are teaching English and not fluent in other languages. This is very sly and witty in the context.
Yes, thanks
Thanks!
Now matter how many times I watch it it still has me in stitches

How they managed to get it filmed amazes me! I would have broke character in laughter every time she went to the next character.
I’ve got a “Good Vibes Only” sign hanging in my living room!. Great video as always.
✌🏻❤️🇬🇧
I love the boss dying a death. And she's so proud of herself!
Catherine Tate is definitely one of my favourite female comedians, she straight up reminds me of my older sister.
I expected the twist at the end would be that they all understood her perfectly. I'm so disappointed they didn't take it in that direction!
This is excellent! Wish we still had comedy like this.
"this is not my sandwich" 😂
