The actress playing the assistant is also insanely talented. British actress, playing a german, playing Ivanka Trump. The american accent slipping into german ... Wow :)
Samwell Tarly Mother
Mas Salleh oh shit no way
@@Kryptic77x Yup That's her
Her American accent is flawless
Samantha Spiro, played Babs Windsor in Babs and Cor Blimey.
A Brit doing a German doing an American.
That is amazing
"He is a voice for gender Ekvalitiy".
Yes that bit really impressed me.
Samantha spiro is a queen when it comes to that
Tracey's backup is first class, as is proper.
Pretty sure it was "a FORCE for gender..."
That explains why Angie speaks with a Russian accent ;D
It’s been 4 years and I am still watching this over and over again 😆
Ditto. It's a master work of comedy!
Me too.😂😂😂 I love them!
Me too. I've known that Tracy was a comic genius since I was a child.
ATF for sure!
Go take a shower and eat something then. You must be starving!
OMG hilarious, "my powerful eye muscles flipped my body" ...how did they think that up?
Haahhaha
Hahahahahaha
Brits understanding German essence👌
@@juliannebenido6835 They should have made a gender swap reboot of Mrs Doubtfire with Tracey Ullman.
"You are Chancellorette, not a GIF"
I died
LOL, that one got me rolling too ! XD
love it.
From Germany
first chancellor that went rogue whilst in office,
what does GIF mean?
So did I 😂
As a German I can just say that this is absolutely on point 😂😂 Hilarious!!
As ein German I also approve sis message.
steff Your muti
Me too
Ich fand die Darstellung auch absolut gelungen 🤣
Awww ... you Germans have such a sense of humor!! 🙄
How extraordinary!! 🙄
Who can blame her she's dealing with idiots every day haha
Hard to find a bigger idiot than her.

@@jaggar28 LOL look at all those butthurt merkelites. Stupid old childless ho will go down in history as a traitor and enemy of European people.
@@alterego157 nah mate, she’ll ho down in history as one of the best leaders driving out fascism across the EU
This will never get old! Bravo to both the ladies.

Youknow, I've started igoring people with recently made accounts, no video's or avatar and nó content or other descriptions.
Go RussianTroll someone else, Arschloch.
ahahah xD
i think germany has had worst leaders...
Yes... worst Chancellor *ever* ...
Incidentally, I read an interview with Angela Merkel today where she openly admits to being aware of her lack of a poker face and that she has given up on practicing to get one. She also talked about her frustration with the "bored" look she gets when she has a relaxed facial expression. Altogether, she seemed like a genuine, humorous person.
Merkel's expressive face is great. I love some of the looks she gave Trump in real life.
@@heliotropezzz333 I know! She expresses the wtf that the rest of us are feeling.
where is that interview?
I have always admired her. I love that she doesn’t have a poker face. It means her bullshit detector works perfectly which I think is a fine quality in a world leader.
That moment in an interview with Trump when she started laughing because Trump said he was German.... Still love it xD
I swear to God - one of the best shows ever. The acting, make up, dialogs...Tracy Ullman is absolutely spectacular! 👏
“ Ze phone rings, you pick it up, you hear a teenage boy who’s voice is breaking, you realize it is Theresa May” *rolls ze eyes*
That part got me lmao😂
Me too 🥰🥰🤭🤭
You hear a teenage boy whose voice is breaking. You realize that it is Theresa May.
Is it breaking or viking? 🤔
😂😂😂
John Pall breaking..
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I watched it too.
"you are a chancellor, not a gif" lol
No Chancellor here just a Huge "ME,ME and I and I" Attitude - the worst Chancellor since Adenauer and we had some bad ones already !
Truly brilliant line.
You're a Chancellorette !!! LOL
I’m still confused about how to pronounce it, is it jif, or ghif
@@michaelschuenemann3505 but Adenauer was a good chancellor!
Everyone's talking about her Donald impression, but I think her impression of Ivanka was much better.
the real angela must get a laugh out of this . i bet she watches this to calm down and get back to normal after a hard day dealing with all those crazy men. as a distant observer in aus, i have a huge amount of respect for her . i believe she's very smart and capable with the essential ingredient of a good leader, being a "good" person . i bet her dad would be proud of what's she's done for europe and humanity while she's been in the drivers seat .(it would be a bloody hard job) i remember her telling the british parliament how when she first went to the uk , she was nearly overwhelmed experiencing the freedom of speakers corner . coming out of the GDR. i bet tracy has a huge respect for her as well. to salute her in this fashion .
True
Like any leaders, she had her problems. But compared to the loudmouth morons speaking in their self-glorifications pretending to understand every situation, watching Merkels is a breath of fresh air. Someone who knew how to shut up, take advices and do not communicate as if the audience are idoits.
I agree and she was clearly a very pragmatic leader. The fact that she was Chancellor for such a long time and left on her terms and not due to scandal or political upheaval shows how good she was at her job. Not perfect of course, but a far better leader than in most Western countries at the time. Naturally, Germans will likely disagree as they had to contend with domestic policy whereas someone like myself really only sees what former Chancellor Merkel did on the international stage.
"You're a chancellor, not a gif." - Gold!
I love when she calls Angela the "chancellorette". These ladies are hilarious.
Unlike in English, there is a feminine form of "chancellor" in German, which you have to use when referring to Merkel as chancellor. It's just not "chancelorette".
@@Tflexxx02 OK, try dudette then, something like Kumpeline i would say.
It is Kanzler for a man and Kanzlerin for a female right? It has been a minute since I took German.@@Tflexxx02 I think they just wanted it to sound funny. I think everyone knows ette is a French suffix but it is cute to say Mein Chancelorette. Also Dr. Merkel's English is horrid so if it was an accurate sketch she would never speak English she would be speaking German or Russian. But I know what you mean.
@@TraceyMak1 Yes, it's "Kanzlerin" for Merkel, not "Kanzler". And if you're referring to Theresa May in German, you have to use a feminine form of "prime minister". If Hillary Clinton had become US president, you would have had to use in German a feminine version of "president". German is more specific than English.
Not just this, German has male and female versions for all professions: Arzt/ Ärztin (doctor), Kanzler/ Kanzlerin (chancellor) etc
Fascinated German here: The eye-roll in the beginning was even more authentic than the original. Tracey, your skills are impressive! 😉
This impression of Tracey’s is the jewel in the crown. I love everything she worked into it.
This is hilarious. The absence of a laughter track makes it seem more real and much funnier.
Laughter track? I can't bear it, around a decade ago I stopped to watch anything that has it. Much better without, right? ;-)
@@jenergomes true
@@jenergomes They should have made a gender swap reboot of Mrs Doubtfire with Tracey Ullman.
"Oh mein Gott i roll ze eyes"
lol
@Angela Merkel I guess, if you can't help but roll your eyes.
Angela Merkel vor ist ein pussy
In my family we say, "Ai Gott!"
@@user-dx5bn4yk4f ,同性恋咋啦,有啥问题?
me: can't stop laughing
This is one of my favourite Tracey sketches, I completely lose it with the last eye roll 😂
I don't know how many times I've watched this. And every time it's hilarious.
I know! I was just thinking I have watched it well over a dozen times. Pure genius.
"It's Boris Johnson. It's ok. That one you're allowed."
LOL
Was about to say that lmao
As a German myself:
This is way too accurate 😂
Merkelreich
"Mein Reich Europa" 🥴🙈🤣
es ist trotzdem lustig
Niemand hat die Absicht eine Mauer zu errichten!
I roll my eyes as did my grandfather, I'm quarter German, could be genetic!
I keep watching it over and over again and I can't stop laughing 😅Donald impression is my favourite!
Glad that I found her. Never heard of her before. Tears of joy, need it. Brilliant.
Sorry, but this is the best parody of my chancellor I've ever seen!
Chancelorette
@@kackerlakensalat 🙄
Why ''Sorry''? :) I loved it and NOT sorry!
You haven't seen anything yet😂
@Ross Piyan Greetings from Germany to Australia!
"You hear a teenage boy who'se voice is breaking - you realise it's Teresa May" 😂
I literally heard her screechy voice.
😅😅😅😅
First of all: GREAT ACTRESSES! So good, thank you so much!
I swear I have watched this about a thousand times so far 😀
Let's talk about the assistant's Trumps impressions, hilarious!
They were beautiful words
i love her impressions 🤣
I though she was playing the prime minister of New Zeland. Jacinda Dern? Don’t quiet remember her name
Dude she literally made an impression within an impression. Madlad
@@olestokke If only there was some way you could find out her name, in about the same time as it takes to type "prime minister of New Zealand". Oh well, I guess we'll never know.
I feel like that the Merkel's sketches, while parodying her, are not mocking her. Instead, her reactions about other politicians are exactly my reactions about them too. In other word : relateable.
Tracy rarely insults in her impersonations (except perhaps with Trump). She typically mocks off topic, and try to balance the person's qualities.
Like with Theresa May, she makes it clear that she's not doing a good job, at the same time she emphasizes on how much of an impossible job she has.
With Merkel, doesn't go for easy laughs at her policies, rather funnily ridiculous things like her infatuation with Macron and Trudeau. Same with Camilla, tabloid always slam for cheap laughs about her gold digging/social climbing. Tracy opts for mocking poshness and her equestrian habit.
No, no, dude. It's _both._
@Zeug Dings tHeN tHAt makeS yOu a LiBShiT
@Zeug Dings 😂👏👏👏
Marc Andersen Like herself?
I don't know how many times I have watched this video and it never gets old

"My powerful eye muscles flipped my whole body..." Me laughing LONG time.
😅😅😅
"Awwff! I think I sprained my face!"
That had me chortling loudly!
As a German, this is faaaar too accurate
Hello Selina hope you're okay?
HOW does this only have 2.5 Million views? This bit is mind shattering xD
Damn I thought she was the real Angela Merkel, and BBC had written a news about her pokerface
🤣🤣😂😂
Same!
I was thinking that until reading this comment
A perfect impersonation of Angela Merkel from a non - german comedian! So hilarious
Because Germans are not funny. The germans go to their cousins the English for comedy.
Germans have comedians? I didn't know!
BecomingfreeCOUK
yes we do. And very good ones, too
But how should you know?
Most American and British people are unable or to ignorant to learn a foreign language.
Yeah I love the part when Merkel mentions how she ruined her country by opening up the country to Sharia Law believing rapist migrants!👎
@@becomingfr33 How many German comedians are there? NEIN!
4 years later and it’s still one of my favorites! 😂🤣
Absolutely! When I need a dependable belly-laugh, I come back here...
😆🤣😂😅🤣😆
@@amybettencourt3404 and of course, since I got a message that you had replied I HAD to watch it again! 😂🤣😁😅🤣
@@LMD2915 Always glad to be of assistance!!!🐞
This is insanely hilarious! Credit to both of them.
That one you are allowed!
NDL at that one.
To be fair, anything is allowed with BJ. Two reasons. First, he doesn’t easily get offended unlike Trump. I have seen a BBC correspondent being rather rude to him & he turned the encounter into a joke before apologising just for the fun of it. Secondly, he himself is accident prone in any case, so he is the butt of jokes.
I recall an old Labour activist saying to me outside the Labour constituency office at Walthamstow Village, that he’ll never get how a strongly Labour London got Johnson elected? I told him he must never underestimate the power of someone (however idiotic or dishonest he might be) who makes people laugh.
It´s a comedy, a parody and I still feel some respect towards Merkel in this skit.
Brits are just amazing!
@@gryphus1635 oh well i found an idiot!
@@gryphus1635 Speak for yourself, bud.
@@gryphus1635 maybe no more fox news for you today...
I admire the rolling up of the eyeballs, the perfect non confrontational non verbal reply to a stupid person or a stupid question.
Brilliant
A picture of a million words
Have watched this so many times. So hilarious. Tracey is comedy gold.Tremendous talent.
I can watch this one over and over and over... both of them are hilarious 😂
I am German and i Looove this
This one is even better. th-cam.com/video/1L-ZxR4jbGo/w-d-xo.html
You are soooooo right - that Merkel Woman is the worst Chancellor since Adenauer - see what she has done to the CDU - also she is NAKT on the Internet and NOT a pretty Sight !
Yes only half German but hilarious !!!!
ONKEL FRITZ ONKEL FRITZ
I'm 1/2 German this is hysterical !!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Enough of the nursery slopes - do Donald" haha
Hello Helen hope you're okay ?
I love that she gets permission to roll her eyes when talking to Boris as he is too unimportant for her to bother about him.
Or because it's a phone conversation and he won't be able to see it?
"My chancelerette......", klasse Serie, LOL!
She actually says " *Mine* Chancellorette" like in Mein Führer which makes it even more hilarious lol
"Mein Chancelorääääätt" trifft besser :D
Actually it should be "meine" since the gender of "kanzlerin" should be feminine, but I'll give you guys a pass since this is a comedy show, lol.
Why is this on my recommended list during the coronavirus outbreak.
So you have something to laugh
Same 2me. Ho-ever, ze enjoyment hold me back from complaining.
BR from Berlin, Germany. 😁😘
Why shouldn’t it?
I got here after searching Anthony Fauci eye rolls. 🙄😆😆
because shes one of the responsible? like rest of politicians g7,g20, making people sick and pretend being heroes or starting outbreaks to distract people from their crimes like cyberstalking and supporting trafficking gangs? or other reasons..u have no idea what these creatures r up to
Oh they’re not discontinuing this lipstick?
I laughed so hard 😂😂😂
"Warm flesh is the nations' favorite.."
These are so good they make my day when I find one on youtube!
"Meine Chancelorette!" Great great stuff! I laugh a lot. Greetings from Germany! And more from this PLEASE!
Quality British humour. Oh where has this been for the past 10 years
That's MEEEE.
I have been working on this since forever.
I show all my emotions in my face. I have to improve because it offends some people.
This is very on point here!
"It's Boris Johnson. It's okay. That one you're allowed" haha !!
OMG I almost died- I am german and this is by far the best parody of our dear chancellor.. my belly hurts 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Awww ... you Germans have such a sense of humor!! 🙄
How extraordinary!! 🙄
@@Stellar-py9nx ? Are you ok?
your dear chancellor, you can have her in your sack for all we care,
@@lunafringe10 What?
@@Christian-gz6zd my question exactly.
No one:
Not a single soul in the universe:
TH-cam: want to see German chancellor flip backwards with the power of her immense eyelid muscles?
😂👌
Normie
Hell yeah
Nein. First time I was looking for someone rolling their eyes for a video. The others were to watch it again, since it's hillarious.
Ja
You're a chancellor, not a GIF
That cracked me up
Hilarious scene... hahahha.. This is what i really need in daily basis to keep me Cheerful 😄.. Good job Tracey n her assistant😅 love from Indonesia 🇮🇩
I think everyone can relate to how Chancellor Merkel must feel when having to deal with characters like Putin, Trump, and Boris Johnson...
Its funny because I have the exact reaction to her lol
What's interesting is in Germany, she's a conservative
@Angela Merkel Your comments are not funny but annoying. Please stop. =/
Natural reactions to a bunch of idiots.
The 3 unwise men
As a German I love this. I LOVE this so much. Tracy's hilarious as Merkel. The accents - perfect, lol.
Yes just 1/2 German loved it when she say's I think I sprained my face !
Doesn't anything relating to Merkel turn your stomach because of the migration problems?
@@adamw116 Merkel had to take them in or other countries would have called them racist nazis blablabla. France has taken as many, they just turn a blind eye and encourage them onwards to UK.
@Weltschmerz Well Merkel is shaking so much maybe the vomiting will subside for you very soon!
Adam W you keep trying! But the answer is NO, y’all have to stop worrying about Germany.
They are fine and things aber still better than anywhere else! ;)
Tracy Ullmann not seen her for YEARS , good actor 👍👍😄❤️
We definitely need more of Brigitt and Angela Merkel
her assistant is the best character shes so talented
She also played Samwel's Turly mother in Game of thrones.
The Donald impersonation was spot on
Super funny!!! I cannot stop watching it again and again. Laughing like it was the first time.
"mein chancellorette" 😂😂
I was thinking the same thing 😂😂😂
The fact that Angela (the real one) said in an interview she couldn't do a poker face makes it even funnier XD
She rolled her eyes so hard, she fell over
Actually no. She kept her eyes still, but the eye-roll reflex backfired and flipped the body instead.
kreaturen 😂😂😂
I think I sprained my face! 😂😂
"My eye muscles flipped my entire body" 😆
The chemistry between these 2 comical geniuses is extraordinary! "Try harder, you're a chancellor not a GIF!" LMAO
"You hear a teenage boy who's voice is breaking. It is Theresa May."
Brilliant.
My favourite: they are not discontinuing this lipstick...?!
And the shade is "Warm Flesh"! LOLOLOL
“Warm Flesh-the nation’s favorite” 🤣🤣🤣
2:45 mins of pure gold..👍👍
I have watched this numerous times....I never get tired of laughing at this.
"I think I sprained my face!" Brilliant!! lol
Totally falling in love with both marvellous actors. I love you ladies you are the best.
I don't know man... I think I've got pretty high standards when it comes to comedy and this shit got me good.
the accents from both of them are killing me very funny
When i saw her on the floor i just spit cola on my phone. That was too much and out of the blue. This woman is pure gold.
This. is. pure. GOLD!
Greetingz from Germany ;)
why doesn't america get shows like this
Anybody can say anything but Merkel is one of the best politician of our times. I know, the bitter russian troll will dislike it. Whatever. :)
She's often the only adult in the room.
i beg to differ, we have plenty of homegrown bitter german trolls.
I am German and I love this. These two are simply genius!
This Angela Merkel's skit is cuteness overloaded. Props to both the actors and the their team to come up with such idea and execution😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😘
If there could be only one thing I could wish in my life, it would definitely liking this video more than once!!!
Lip stick shade "warm flesh" I'm soo done hahhaha.
I actually thought it was Merkel 😂
It is not?
omg this was just PERFECT lol so accurate. I really like to imagine her like that as a private person
It's amazing funny! I am German, living in Germany and I think even Mrs. Merkel will find it funny, although she can't say it out loud.
In Merkel's eyes it isn't always easy to deal with so many different characters around the world.
I would keep my eyes rolling all time...
“Meine Chancellorette” when she collapses on the floor. OMG LOL!!!
Still relevant and very funny after almost 3 years. With all the things that have happened over the last year alone, I suspect Merkel's eyes would be permanently stuck in that position by now.
„Oh mein god, i‘m rolling se eyes.“ … God, I love it. 😂😂
I never, never, never tire of this. Anyone who knows the Alexander Technique will understand why this is so particularly precious. Worth gold! 😄
" enough with the nursery slopes" 😂
