"We find that the first two years are the worst". That was good.

I remember when this was first aired and it is just as acidily accurate

I had no idea these two ever collaborated on anything. So glad I found this! Comedic genius 🙌

Other than the possible exception of Chaplin, I don't think I have ever seen a comedian who has made laugh while having a lump in my throat and fight back tears all at the same time. She is a genius.

Ullman and Palin....outstanding, as always.

Disturbingly good

We have admired 'elite' parasites, sought to emulate them, their wealth, & attitude. We have let them determine how we see ourselves. We are worth more than they, for kindness, for mercy, for caring. Never trade down to trade up. Always remain true to yourself, & be yourself. It is alright to improve oneself, & one's lot in life, yet best to remain humble & real.

Forgot so mush talent,hard to find now days,thanks ,love utube for showing great shows, afraid want to keep watching till late at night,

What a delightful pairing. Tracy and Michael are superb.😁

Tracy reminds me of Charles Dickens. So much of it is bittersweet.

"You say 'I slush you' & I say 'I slush you' back." This story made quite an impact on me as an indictment of the worship of money culture as a child. I've been looking for this clip for years.

This was absolute genius. Brilliantly observed and caustically sharp. I’ve met some ‘Hethers’…

The public (private)school system in Britain in a nutshell

Tracey, you are brilliant. 💕

Tracey Ullman sure is a British National Treasure

Emmys all around. throw in a Palm d'Or. Bravo Palin and Ullman.

I LOVE YOU TRACEY ULLMAN HAVE BEEN WATCHING YOU ON T V FOR OVER 2O YEARS. SWAMP HUGS FROM LOUISIANA.

Everything we dreamed of! Last laugh is always best!

I found it moving.... Tracy is a genius and Michael Palin perfect...

"They've stopped force feeding her"

Michael Palin is quietly brilliant in this alongside Tracey U.

What’s better than an Academy Award??? Tracey you shall have whatever it is. The best of the best.

Only Ullman could pull off playing a teenager when in her 40's.

This video came on directly after the Jerry Hall Rupert Murdoch one, a stark contrast as far as humor goes! Tracy Ullman is brilliant!

This is amazing! I love how she had surgery done when she was older, different nose

She is a comedy genius.

Tracey Ullman is such a great and talented actress. I love her and always have...

This was so funny and tragic, Palin ❤️💋 such a treasure and Tracy, she is always so dam good! I. Can't stop but beat myself for only know her this year. So much to catch up, but this❤️💋 this was gold.

@AshMukherjeeOfficial I had the same response! Who else could make a short film with such complexity? I can’t call it a comedy or a spoof. It is more a drama but that’s not quite right. Tracey Ullman is a unique talent and her characterizations go way beyond the limits of the typical portrayal. I just love the way she can humanize people and so often does. That’s a meaningful contribution to us all…

As a parent of a young adult, I feel this kind of sums up parenthood. (US)

I remember this from years ago, always stayed with me,as probably true

This is hilarious "It's all we ever dreamed of!"

This woman should get an OBE.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Tracey is absolutely brilliant. ❤

Yeah. That is what prep school does. Both my kids did exactly that to me. (the upside: Tracey is a very gifted brilliant actress)

Cast these two together ..perfect

This entire vignette was incredibly done. Ullman literally played three different people. The subject of course is all too real.

We've done the sums , that's a classic ....❤

This is what you get when you ‘educate’ your children out of your own class! It describes the British public school system ...as it used to be anyway! Tragically accurate as ever.

"YoU mEnD tHeM???" 😂

Chilling. I am one of those parents unfortunately.

Very accurately British.

This reminds me of a movie called Imitation of Life. But with an opposite ending.

Old theme and true. Educate your children in a system you have no links to - monster. Disappointment on both sides.

That school was worth every penny

Love the twist at the end.😂

This is a masterclass in acting and writing. It works on so many levels and brilliantly encapsulates class divisions which still exist in the UK today - now blurred by the upper middle-classes adoption of woke values. Today, conspicuous wealth and dismissive, condescending attitudes are masked by upper-class advocacy for mass immigration, the EU, globalism and multiculturalism. They have 'adopted woke' as another form of superiority but the patronising snobbery is still there in spades; the same contempt exists for the working-class with its 'Brexit', working-class accents and 'Little Englander' mindset, as they see it. More than ever this divides the UK as sharply as a knife. This short piece is both funny and gut-wrenchingly revolting at one and the same time. Ullman is an amazingly versatile artist and must be a joy to write for; she obviously knows the territory very well indeed.

Michael Palin!❤️

This is just a documentary really...

So brilliant

Tracey Ullman is a national treasure!

This is cringeworthy but such a sharp dark comedy about the private school system and the hypocrisy that was (and is) the english class system! Ouch! Fantastic! 🤣

I’ve met unpleasant people like Janey.

So touching like the new inside out film.

Tracey borrowed her wardrobe from Hyacinth Bucket's "Keeping Up Appearances".

Was sure it was going to end 10 years later with Janie homeless on the street and her parents biding her wishing and hesitantly walking past without a word.

did you spot the Daphne Manners of Jewel in the Crown (Susan Woolbridge) as Head of School?

Wonderful ❤

Brilliant!

A happy ending. Thank you.

LOVED IT!!!

Excellent.

Note the other cars are a Jaguar XJ, Mercedes S class, etc. The Tracey's family has the British version of a Chevy Cavalier.

She’s so funny on curb your enthusiasm

I have been assured that a young healthy hamster well nursed is at a year old a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled, and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee, or a ragout. (With apologies to Jonathan Swift)

I know somebody exactly the same!

Well, this couple's genes certainly hit a jackpot.

Did this inspire Saltburn? lol Tracey is amazing!

Tracy I’ll man ❤❤

Well, that was grim.

Now it makes sense why in Rupaul Draq Race Season 3, they called them self the Heathers!!!

I could sell a kidney.😳🤣

"They've stopped force-feeding her..."

Reminds me of the movie mean girl

Ow!

I just love all the cliches and the 80s fashion

"what are your plans after you leave school?" ..... I should be doing "cordon blue" in paris! (I always thought "cordon blue" was some kind of chicken breast recepy... hahahaha)

Gosh how sad.

Funny but sad...

The daughter of a Duke would be styled Lady and not Honourable.

My God, she made me hate one character and ache for the other.

sadly me daughter same

I love Tracey, she is genius. But I'm not British sorry. The accent and verbiage add to the challenge, for me. Please, can someone explain the gist of this story? Thank you.

Bahahaha

Si Tanggang versi mat salleh 😢

Hi

Sad

Hampsters are delicious with tomato sauce

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n6uhgpyYm6rTYHk.html Dear Tracy, I had this idea for a new skit for you to make. From the vid sent here, it shows what a nice lady Samantha Markel is and her Brother too. What if these and dad got together with the Charles, Camilla, and the brother and wife, and they all got along. There’d be signs of them laughing and playing Cards in Windsor Castle, or having a picnic in Windsor Park, watching Netflicks together, going to the theatre, and just having a ball with new friends. They’re shown dissing each of their new Relations in total agreement. All this is become Hugh News that the two in flooded out Monticito are totally over looked by the Media. The new Hot news has totally switched to the properly favor the the RF and the ignored Markels and that they really do have a dad. This would be so wonderful to watch, because what I’m seeing is that both families are pretty nice. It’s one person here we aren’t aloud to mention in print who is the Problem. This story of the girl and her Parents is so sad. It totally reminded me of mm and her denial that she doesn’t have a father. You are a Master actor and humanist.

Well they high born'd a low born daughter and in a caste society such as Britain that's saying something.

They bung on a posh accent to separate themselves from 'ordinary' people. Others can't stand the class system and migrate to Australia.

Why did they call it Hethers? It's not even remotely a parody of that movie.

depressing

It’s AWFUL . …. Though acting is good

Irrelevant USA informercial during the video

Lets compare and contrast what the American version of this would be. The same dutiful parents willing to sacrifice for the betterment of their daughter by enrolling her in a "institution of higher learning". 4 years pass and the child has been "transformed". What was once a dutiful child, filial and humble is now anything but that. Upon her homecoming she informs her parents that they are "racists" and oppressors and should be ashamed of themselves for contributing to the continued existence of the "patriarchy". This once sweet daughter is now a shrill rapacious non-binary incel harpy well versed in radical feminist rhetoric which she uses to castigate both her parents with. The big difference from the British version is that the American daughter informs her parents that she will now take up residency in the home and won't , if ever, be leaving it. She details what her parent's duties shall be and how they must change their beliefs so as not to offend or trigger her with micro-aggressions such as insisting that she seek out gainful employment. The parents, having expending all their savings in addition to taking out a second mortgage and co-signing student loans have now invested well over 250k now realize that they have no recourse or escape from this debt must now relinquish the thought of a happy retirement and or basking in the glow of treasured grandchildren. The daughter, having degrees in "gender studies" and "diversity , equity and inclusion" finally decides to dip her toes into the world of employment. She finds that her degrees are of no value in the real world other than perhaps getting her that all important second interview for a stocking position on the night shift at Walmart. Reality sets in and rather than accept the stocking position she dedicates herself to part-time face-painting at local carnivals with the hope of someday achieving a higher status by painting faces on the state fair circuit!

Usually like Ulman. That was absolutely ghastly. I guess one has to be British. And rained on a lot. Bollocks.

Meghan markle

Absolutely brilliant!!

It's Treacle I feel sorry for
