@@knotkool1 The main meaning of "funny" is, expressing the comic wit (e.g., dramatized incongruities) to make people laugh. By that criterion Tracy is uber, epic funny. The secondary meaning of "funny" is odd, peculiar, e.g., coincidental; Jody Hughes did not mean this sense.
This woman needs a lifetime achievement award. While she is still alive. She is so damn talented. U can only think of Carol Burnett and Lucille Ball as a match!

You're 100% right. At this point in time, she's simply in a league of her own. I rarely say this (about anyone living!), but I think she's a certifiable genius.
Someone recently said "We are in the midst of a tragedy, and trying to treat it with comedy - and it's not working." So yeah, I get where you are coming from. On the other hand, comedy "speaks the truth" in a way that makes people more willing and able to hear it sometimes. So there is kind of a conflict here.

I find it interesting that in American culture, as seen from an Australian perspective ,that American sit coms show an unrealistic lifestyle ,such as the show Friends for example ,live an unrealistic lifestyle while the cartoon shows such as The Simpsons and Family Guy show the real conundrums of American society.

@@romandybala There's an element of truth in that. There's certainly PLENTY wrong with my country, the USA.

Tracey Ullman is absolutely incredible! Hilariously funny, very clever, fantastic actress, astonishingly good singer and dancer! Can you imagine that I didn’t even know her until I stumbled upon her here on YT recently? WHY is she so underrated?!? She is brilliant!
Uh...not really. It's not wrong, per say, but it sounds a bit forced and overpronounced. It's more of a good impression of an American accent, it isn't a natural one. The intonations on certain syllables are exaggerated. If she went around speaking to Americans like that they would think she talks really weird.
For those who didn't know, Tracey Ullman started of as a singer. She did some covers of 60s classics but she had a great voice and the music videos are still hilarious. I can't break away They don't know about us Move over darling
@@joejones9520They should have made a gender swap reboot of Mrs Doubtfire with Tracey Ullman. With a good prosthetic makeup and a nice story she would have been brilliant in that role.

What a turn around, I used to find her so annoying but she really nails these characters now, what a talent. Love her Dame Judy Dench and Maggie Smith.
@@moonlily1 If she's trying to sound like Barbra Streisand, Streisand's (original, when young, and in her film Fanny Brice portrayals) accent is almost a caricature of the Brooklyn NY accent, exaggerated for comic effect.
@@JudgeJulieLit I can tell she's "doing an accent" and this isn't an actual "American accent". If I met anyone in the US who talked like this I would wonder what they're deal was. And I think of Brooklyners sounding like Tony Danza more than Barbra Streisand but I guess it makes a difference whether you're Jewish, Italian American or something else.

I adore Tracy Ullman...first time I worked with her in the 80s. She us a real pro and does her own grocery shopping...at Chalet Gourmet. Brilluant talent.🙏
Incredible woman... One of the most talented comedians I have watched
Thank GOD Tracey Ullman is still out there. She is talented and funny beyond belief.
A BRILLIANT BEACON OF TALENT, IN A SEWER OF SHIT NOBODIES.

She is almost in the same stratospheric league as Amy Schumer
This woman is nothing short of AMAZING! Immensely talented. Love her work!!!
Uh
Really? Some of her other work I’ve seen is ok but this sketch stinks.
Funny funny lady! 👍😂
She deserves recognition from our media for her biting comedy. She has always been the best.
Courageous too. The way this sketch ends is a good example. Tracey never goes for the cheap storyline.
She is so credible in every role, incredibly delivered.
You make no sense. How can a credible role be delivered in an incredible way?

Some American actors have weird accents. They don't sound like real Americans.
Not to mention her German accent when she plays Angela Merkel 🤣🤣🤣

I love Tracey!!! So much talent-she always makes me laugh
Tracy Ulman!!! I love her so much. She's so amazing and hilarious. She's been consistently at the top of her game from the start.

Move over darling
its funny how many comedians want to be musicians and how many musicians think they're funny.

She was a comedian first. She was in Three of a Kind, a British Comedy Series in 1981.

Bravo! Watched it 3 times already. Excellent acting! I've been a fan of Tracy since the 80s.
it's funny because it's true...
The whole cast was too funny and Tracey just comes in and TOPS it!
I'm glad Tracy has Lucy Montgomery working with her...We dont see much of her over in the U.K...So glad to see her in such a brilliant show!
That was Barbara Streisand....Love Tracey Ullman ! she is fantastic !!!!! the best we have......
Too short...it was just getting accurately good.
Leave it to Tracey Ullman to cut right to the heart of the matter.
I love this woman...she is fabulous funny and spot on...
She is freaking hysterical!
I love Tracey!!
I used to watch her on TV but have not seen her in a long time. Guess I don't get that channel anymore. Comedian but also a really good actress.
Forgot how friggin talented Tracy Ullman is...If you've never seen the movie..."I Love You to Death." It's pretty funny. Based on a true story.

Why do I feel like Tracey is the living embodiment of the entire Simpsons universe?
Because she wrote it
I still like the cartoons that were on the interstitial part of her show on Fox in the eighties.
Tom Hanks? George Clooney...near split my sides 😂🍕🏓🌀
"If she's too old🙄nobody would want to sexually harass her in the first place"
Funny. But also kind of sad. On both sides, really.
After 20 seconds i was already hurting from laughter 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Tracey is one very talented and funny lady.
What a turn around, I used to find her so annoying but she really nails these characters now, what a talent. Love her Dame Judy Dench and Maggie Smith.
It's Michael Brandon...
Tracy has been my favorite for years, even before she introduced The Simpsons 👏👏😊
That was funny. 😁 Tracey Ullman is very talented. 😊

Can this be continued i.e. as part 2 as all the clips don’t seem to last more than 2.58 mins?
the greatest
It’s easier to face reality through humor
She is a great singer too. Remember her version of Move Over Darling?
Why am I enjoying this? Lol 😂
Great stuff. Now more Nicola!!!!!
Love this! Subscribed!
Love, love Tracy Ullman. For years. This sketch is funny but so, so serious. Tracy: Go Home. Go Home.
I didn’t know Barbra Streisand was back on tour 🌈🤙🏻
Just discovered these! ( well youtube algorithms foisted them upon me) BUT there grrrrrrrreat!
Well done. I adore Tracy Ullman xxxxx So funny.
Happy Birthday Tracey^^
They should have asked Ruby Romaine.
IKR 😂
I hope Tracy’s makeup people have won hella awards.
Wait, Ullman has a new show? Wow. I wonder if any of the original cast is in it (like Mr. Show/Bob and David)
That main guy always plays Americans on British comedy shows. He was in a lot of Catherine Tate Show sketches 15 years ago.
Do you mean Michael Brandon perhaps ? He also played in Dempsey and Makepeace (British police serie), 1985.
For the cause!
#MeToo
everyone else: runs away. Tracey Ullman: hits the target bullseye
That is pretty much spot-on.
Equally, Im A Hollywood actress 🤣🤣🤣
She looks like Nancy Travis in this get up. Very beautiful and funny!
wheres part two ?
Wow! I haven't seen Tracey Ullman since her show 30 years ago. She go old! So did I....lol.
I wouldn't call it a DATE
