Smart money says Kathleen has been searching for a way to slip her background as 1/16th Romanian into a video for a while. Art imitates life, I suppose...
I think it's downright mystic at how she was able to divine where his colleague is at all times and sneak in there flawlessly for a whole week. Why rely on magic to put the fur in the cup?
Ending gut-punched me out of nowhere friggin' hilarious guys :) ---- Also, everyone else, given that the sketch is about questioning and parodying the ridiculous notion of "Gypsy Woman" as a title and job description, the 'ethnic slur' stuff is pretty covered. Y'know, what with Kathleen's character actively stating that she is not of Romani/Traveller heritage and the implied "This is my profession's preferred fake garb, fake wig, and fake accent". tldr; "That's The Joke."
I like to imagine this is the same guy from Mercenary Solutions, just earlier in his career. Just can't get a break with these professional revenge-dealers.
It really is inconvenient. Do you know how hard it is to sit without having one? Then again, no one can say that I got my ass kicked when I lose a game now.
...yeah, sorry about that. Reattachment turned out to be more difficult than we thought - we need a connector part that's not in stock; we're waiting on a shipment hopefully before the week's out...in the meantime this might help. *hands N1GHTH4WK986 a donut cushion*
They upload these videos a couple of days early on the hidden private mode and distribute the links to it to their Kickstarter backers. The date you see in the description isn't "uploaded", it's "published", which is when they set it to public viewing and it shows up in TH-cam subscriber fees, in the search and elsewhere.
The term "being gyp'd" can be considered very offensive, but just the word alone is not, explicitly, a slur. We did look this up. There is a lot of conflicting information, but suffice to say it is absolutely not on the level of other words that are termed "ethnic slurs". Also, that's part of the joke, that the government placed her that job.
"You guys do realize 'gypsy' is an ethnic slur, right?" No it isn't, not in of itself. There are sadly many slurs associated with the various peoples derived from the word gypsy, but while there will be some people who take offence at its use, it is widely used in a non-offensive context.
Well, that was an effective hex, she really is working for her money.
Heh, well it's still impressive that she was able to sneak into that workplace and put that hair in his coffee every day that week...
The more I see Kathleen in major roles the more I realize she has a great comedic gift. Sort of a throwback Gilda Radner or Carol Burnett.
Who said she was a con artist? She was offering him a service. Did he or did he not get dog hair in his coffee?

Also: Great video, guys. I laughed.
"[I'd] settle for a Facebook page". Love it.
that makeup transition is slick. Great idea Kathleen.

Huge kudos to whoever did makeup for this.
£108.31 for a curse? I could get a Mind Sculptor for that much...
Lightning Bolt....that cost me, like, 25 cents.
The comedy is always good, but the makeup was fantastic.
Ending gut-punched me out of nowhere friggin' hilarious guys :)

You guys make my Monday's spectacular! :)
MOAR! Cathleen makes an AWESOME Gypsie!
the stinger sells this for me xD
Graham asking "Wait, This is a government job?"
We take debit.
at first I thought they could make Kathleen look older but then I saw that was the bit
so silly, so stupid and so hilarious! even better the second time watching!
LRR brought me to this video....no...wait..
Yeah, I'm sure it's not deliberate, but I think using the term Gypsy is walking a fine line, quite a few people take offence at the term.
I literally LOLed through the end of the credits.
Is it odd that I cannot wait to see the loadingtime for this episode?
Sorry you had to wait so long, but apparently it's finally your lucky day!
simply awesome

Also Kathleen's character before she went all Blackwater on everyone!
Sounds like Kathleen was channelling Kane (or is it Crowthorne?) for her fortune teller voice!
I quite literally lmfao on this. Awesome job! *Golf clap*
It must be inconvenient for you now to have no ass.
Vellrick No, no - he still has it...it's just over there. Give us a little bit and we should be able to re-attach it for him.
Anyways, GREAT VIDEO! :D

*Darth Vader voice* Nooooooooo!!!
LOL. Ah modern mystics :).
Awkward ethnic issues aside, I lol'd.
this was great..
Government placed old gypsy woman? Seems legit.
Awesome :)
pretty great
amazing :)
Is it a conincidence that Graham and Kathleen came down sick shortly after posting this, or did they mess with dark forces beyond their understanding?
Why not both?
That's one hot GILF!
Hint, ethnic Romanians are not exactly crazy for Romas. Just saying.
I like the video, cool jokes.
As 1/4th Roma, not Romanian, but actual Roma (gypsy) I take mild offence to this... but still find it funny.
All the comments say they were posted 2 days ago but it was just uploaded. I'm confused. lol

ah, thanks.
But what did Darryl do?
Nothing; he's just a jerk.
Eye belief!

Kathleen can't actually be 26, can she? I've been watching since her first videos in 2005 and there is no way she was 17 in those.
You guys do realize "gypsy" is an ethnic slur, right?

It is not a slur, and when you hurl accusations such as that both lightly and incorrectly then you serve to negate the impact of actual hate speech.
Professor STAFF Tell that to the actual Roma person who told me it was a slur in the first place.
Alycia Shedd And I have a Roma friend who calls herself a gypsy. So where does that put us?
this is super racist :x
