Tacey's genius is that SHE knows that WE know, personally, at least one of her characters if not several. I'm still trying to figure out which one I am. American Tourist comes closest. 🤪
When I was in High School I think the Tracey Ullman Show came on and Tracey Takes on later, but it always seemed so funny, like unbelievably. But my parents never encouraged me to watch it. I would say " who's that" and they would say "Tracey Ullman" but I'm not sure if they explained it. I never ended up watching it regularly, but I wish I did.
Mummy was probably faking just to be mean... but Kay has been reinterpreted multiple times in multiple shows. She started off on a British sketch show, “Saturday Live” back in 1985. On the original Fox Show, she worked for a paper products distribution company and spoke to Mummy on the phone. She was bullied by her co-workers and lived in Rhode Island. In “Tracey Takes On” she worked in a bank and lived in Van Nyes. Mummy communicated via a buzzer. In “Tracey Ullman’s Show”, Mother is seen on-screen for the first time and she’s 103. They live in England and Kay is now an 80 year old who’s never worked. Kay was in her early to mid 40s in her earlier incarnations. So the character is always changing to suit the show.
The problem is that she’s a brilliant British comedienne on American television, so by definition everything has to be dumbed down. Even when she tried to do commentary of any kind, it had to be as base level as possible. Even people like Bill Burr have to open their intelligent bits with unnecessary shock value that adds nothing, but it makes Americans feel free.
Imagine being married to Tracey... you would wake up next to a different woman every day!
There are comedians and then there's Tracy. One of a kind brilliant talent.
Agreed! Her ability to fully inhabit other people and get everything perfect down to even the tiniest mannerisms and spot on accents is incredible!
Amy Sedaris is another genius.
There's a wonderful poignant humanity in everything she does. These were little gems.
Love all the characters, but having grown up Jewish in Brooklyn, you can guess which one my favorite is! 🤣🤣🤣
Tracey got me through some tough times back in my teenage years!
She is a - genius. A comic genius. Michael Mc Kean is a treasure. Thanks.
Love the shell receiver. And Tracy, of course!
Yes! That got me too. And “Why meeeee?!” 😅
I’m actually smiling, laughing and crying at the same time.
I love this... true genius!
I want Linda Granger to have her own talk show.
I want Linda to win an Oscar
God I loved this series! Tracey is a comedy goddess!!
Terrific!!!!!!
Tracy Ullman is one great character actress.
Shes homegrown british talent ❤️

Childhood trauma
“It’s the end of my world!” ☄️
It's Fern Rosenthal's world...we just live in it.

She has no idea how right she is..

Thanks for all these uploads! Any chance you have the special ‘Tracey Takes on New York’? Haven’t been able to find it anywhere.
Sorry I don't. That was before my time with Tracey.
How can mother die. She was still alive a few years ago on her new show!

You're a Goddamn Genius Trace!
The "Himmelfarb Shower!"
Hi George. Are your missing episodes still available via private link? I know 3 or 4 episodes were shot down for some reason. I'm curious to see them.
Hi David - The episodes here are just the ones I wrote - I think they're all here. What episodes are you missing?
OMG I forgot that Michael McKean was his husband lol
I thought it was Allen
Did those airport security agents ever learn to pronounce each others' names correctly?
❤️
If I ever get some horrible disease I’m going to have a shed full of drugs I missed out on 😂💊😂
'Cricket '😂😂😂
..."SAY IT AGAIN!"
LMFAO
That's the kind of Christianity Americans are known for. Saying it. Often.
J’adore 🥰
I don't get it... which one is Tracy?
Religion? It’s here
Oh how one does miss the unwoke days
GOAT
💯 LMAO
surprised Gen Z hasn't tried to cancel her for blackface yet
Not surprised to see trite right-wing laments posted in an a-political RUclips comments section.
Yes me too
But If eddy Murphy can do Chinese and Jewish men why can't she do a black woman ?
@om Stockdale Tracey is a liberal, anti-Brexit Labour Party supporter. They get away with murder.
