Egluntyne Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Is it me....... I just don't get Catherine Tate.....about as funny as strangulated piles and a face that you'd never tire of slapping. A friend was waxing lyrical about her today and I just couldn't see it. Perhaps I'm getting old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trish Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Some bits I find funny because they remind me of people I know. But mainly I find myslef waiting to get the joke and laugh. Rather watch chickens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I bet they weren't laughing about Hearts! I was! Chookiehubbie has been hogging the internet since he got home, trawling the Hearts forums - he needs to get his priorities right - the Omlet forum is far more interesting (if slightly less controversial! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I like Catherine Tate.. (she's suffered a bit from too many repeats - so her characters are a bit tired now..) but you can't beat an old lady ("Nan") who is nasty and swears - or her teenage girl, Lauren - she has that off to a tee... she's responsible for the catchphrase "Am I bovvered?" (Lauren predates Vicki Pollard for whom Little Britain get so much credit...) I'd love to see Vicki Pollard and Lauren meet on a sketch show... and also (a different character) she's responsible for catchphrase... "How dare you... how *very* dare you !" - which I use a lot... Phil PS - I love the nervous wreck housewife who jumps at every noise - reminds me of my Mother-in-law!! and as someone who now lives in essex - I have not seen a better parody of an "Essex Couple"...

theherd123 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 My head teacher came in to a training session one day and tried to do an impression of 'Am i bovvered though?' and the whole room fell silent as the tumble weed rolled through I was so ashamed i stuck my head in my conference notes and just wanted to die Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 We like Catherine Tate - and my late mother in law loved her (which I was surprised at!) so when we watch CT we are reminded of M-i-L - especially the new northen Irish woman who talks seventeen to the dozen and the husband just sits there nodding - so like M-I-L and F-I-L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Oh thank you, both of you! I don't like her either! My sons are always saying I've got no sense of humour! I don't like Little Britain either . OK, I'm too old! I admit it ! I'm not keen on either, and I'm 25. I like the odd sketch, but CT can leave me a bit cold and I couldn't stand Little Britain after series one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Is it me....... I just don't get Catherine Tate.....about as funny as strangulated piles and a face that you'd never tire of slapping. A friend was waxing lyrical about her today and I just couldn't see it. Perhaps I'm getting old. WOW, im soooo glad someone else thinks like me! I dont find her funny AT ALL for me she is a total rip off of little britain..a "poorer man's version". Her "am I bovvered" character is just a copy of vicky pollard - but not even funny. dunno what all the fuss is all about me....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
