Kay is a very British type who is a monumental doormat but carries on cheerfully no matter how bad things get. She's quite frankly both adorable and sad at the same time.

It's a little like Steptoe and Son which was actually a black comedy. The selfish father didn't want his son to have a life of his own. Absolutely tragic....And very real.

It’s funny as an exaggerated portrayal of an English phenomenon that does exist!

This is both hilarious and tear jerking....Tracey Ullman is a genius..... And there actually ARE mothers just like that.

Sad indeed, but Dan was quite lovely.

Thing is Dan is about 35 and Kay is about 70. Mother is about 90.

Damn that skit to a dark turn. I know a few people who appear to be in the same type of situation. Sad.

I am a french living in the UK for 10 years so now I can understand a lot more of the British humour and culture than I did before. I have discovered this gem of a woman just like a week ago - she truly is a comedic genius!

this is one of the saddest skits i have ever watched

It is. To imagine that such characters actually existing is beyond heart breaking. To not even have your own existence must be a soul-crushing realization at some point.

Tragically, Kay is based on a real woman Tracey knew for years who worked in a bank in the Midlands.

Her mother was afraid of losing her only child. It's a super possessive attitude a lot of mothers have. Including mine. It's a great and a hard challenge to cope with daily.

@@ErnestAbikis TOXIC FEMININITY. I know the feeling. My sister scared off about 4 or 5 girls. One wrote like 8 letters to me and she burnt them all. That girl turned out to be very stable and level headed, in a country where too many aren't. BUT in 2019 my sister used to say I SHOULD GET A MAIL ORDER BRIDE... with no idea HOW incredibly complicated they've made it, and then we got covid.... her and my mother scared away plenty and are now worried that I haven't got a girl.

@@OffGridInvestor Yeah you keep saying that, but overbearing parents (dads and mothers) are not showing signs of 'toxic femininity' when they are too involved in their child's life. That would suggest that being involved in your child's life is a typical female trait and that dad's couldn't care less. Stop throwing around those words when the meaning doesn't match.

What an incredible talent tracy Ullman is.

Horrible wicked old woman. Truly wicked.

Great story. Tracey is much more than a comedian.

With a mother like that, who needs any enemies?

Kay Clark will forever be my spirit animal.

Absolutely love Tracey Ullman, such a talented lady. Kay and mother sketches are my favourite.

Thats actually a very depressing character if you think about how many people actually end up like this

Brilliant actress for the mother too! :D hehehe

Remember Dorothy from the Golden Girls.The time when she went out on a date with a guy from high school.This is exactly like that.

Dear God... ancient Greeks had a name for such comic drama: Ilarotragedy

The old bag .. has ruined it's own daughter's life.

I love how Kay say’s sandwiches 🥪 😂

I love British comedy

Can Dan come and rescue me please?

This was so sad 😭

It used to go on, mothers wanted their daughter to stay at home and look after them. Delia Morris

Some women shouldn't have children. Very sad. 😢 😢 😢

This does actually happen.

What a mum... egoistic.... Hope she finds love with Dan.....

They both are just SOOOO British 🇬🇧

Kay is such a tragic character but Tracey Ullman manages to make her completely hilarious whilst also poignant and sympathetic. There are people who do end up living like this, elderly themselves but forced to look after even more elderly, overbearing parents.

Reminds me of the Bette Davies film, Now, Voyager.

oh dear, what a nasty old bat that mother is. Had something very similar in our circle of friends. Very sad for the daughter it was. The actress is really good though. Very realistic.
