  • my throat hurts from laughing so hard... i cant stop whenever this comedian speaks, shes so brilliant, lmao

  • Just amazing! Ullman is so damn funny! I laughed my head off about her jokes concerning the french accident and the actressess who aren't getting jobs anymore when they are over 50...well besides of playing some ugly wichtes and bitches of course, which is really a shame...but well Meryl seems to be an exception...lucky us! 

  • They did a bad job editing this. Its supposed to be Tracey Ullman's tribute to Meryl, check out 3:00. You can clearly see Tracey sitting behind Charlize Theron lol. Did anyone else notice that?

  • @Gracie51086 My god, you're observant! Well spotted!

  • @ashutosh232 Thank you lol. I remember noticing that when it first aired in '04. You see Charlize Theron cracking up and then you see Tracey in the background. I was like "Uh isn't she the one on stage right now?" Why can't they just show that actual reaction shots?

  • @Gracie51086 you are right, the women behind Charlize Theron in min 3.00 seems to be Tracey Ullman or at least her twin sister ;)

  • I showed my sister this and she couldn't help but laugh! Lol!

    We Love Meryl Streep and Tracey Ullman! (:

  • I love her confidence! She oozes self assurance. 

  • Maybe she wasn't drunk. Maybe she just had a hit of Meryl Juana.

  • Gotta ask u guys smtg.. Was Meryl drunk?? Btw I loved this! Gosh I started laughing at the French accent!

  • i dont understand why meryl's husband looks lo uptight.

  • God, when she sounds just meryl .... so funny. It was so accurate

  • The end really was a bit!!! She overreacted

  • Simply AMAZING!!!

  • woooooooooow... that was way funny!!!!!!! <3

  • Tracey Ullman, is hilarious !

  • I am so sick of youtube adds! ps. LOVE Tracey Ullman haha

  • nice sequence at 0:34....whats up???

  • @steeveluis I'll give you a big clue....THEY LIVE AMONG US....

  • @steeveluis Let me guess... Repty Rept? Also known as a REPTILIAN ?!!! Ha, I knew it ;)

  • This made me laugh so much. I absolutely adore Meryl Streep. She is truly the best thing that happened to acting.. ♥

  • HAPPY BIRTHDAY MERYL STREEP ..

  • so funny! i love it :)

  • Jim Carey laughs at 1:54! if it is good enough  for him , it is good enough for me :-)

  • hilarious!

  • Best thing in that Woody Allen flick, right there!

  • i love when they pan to charlize theron laughing, and tracey ullman is sitting in the audience next to her clapping at her self.... GREAT EDITING GUYS.... :)~

  • if meryl is the cream of the crop!! which she probably is , as a serious actress!! but tracy i think is in a different legue to anyone else in entertainment , singer actress , comedian, writer fuckin amazing !! oh by the way tracy thanks for giving the simpsons it's start !!

  • lol Meryl Streep is drunk

  • Cali5556 I think you'll find it is Sandra Bullock!

  • @4harvey4dax I've looked at that part of the clip over and over and over, and no. The cut of the sleeve opening, the hair, the prominent jowl, the nose... yup, it's Tracy alright.

  • Brilliant, what she did in three minutes was amazing.

    "...also on board, limey comedienne.. Stacey Pullman..."

    I've seen this several times, and she still has me laughing. Great job.

  • At 3:00, you could see Tracy Ullman seated in the audience, applauding at her onstage self's jokes. Nice editing... NOT.

  • @Cali5556 HA, i never noticed that before

  • @Cali5556 my god.. you have a good eye!! hahahaha cut them..

  • Tracy Ullman. Absolute genius.

  • YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WORKING! ALL THE REST OF US HAVE TO SHOW OUR TITS! XD

  • @HOLICAT098 MERYL is nothing specially i don't respect her mush like a actresses

  • @holicat098 : In regular English meaning??

  • @CF1975 yeah!

  • @CF1975 in regular cosmic meaning!

  • i love her she rocks!! i mean Tracey XD

  • Tracey Ullman Calls Meryl Streep "The Cream Off My Cock"

  • the last part was a bit too much

  • Tracey Ullman was almost revered here in the UK back in the 80s,for a brief period.She did a comedy series called "Girls on Top" with Ruby Wax & some other female comic who's name escapes me.Next thing we hear,she's off to 'conquer' the US.Reading the comments here,seems she didn't! Which is a shame,'cause she's very funny.I take it The Tracey Ullman Show didn't take off?! Meryl seems to like her,lol,given how she roars with laughter.But then she WAS being 'tributed'! Come home Tracey!

  • @popazz1

    Ciao!

    Take heart my friend, Tracy Ullman has in fact had major successes in the US, Both critical and popular! She's done some work in film, but mostly tv, her last being a long running series on cable! She's been "Spot on", as many of my friensd from the UK would say, in recreating a variety of convincing characters that might make up, what we in the states often refer to as, the"American Experience"! Take a look at her profile on Wikipedia, you might be surprised!

    Grazie!

    Blaine

  • @blainebill39 ,Hi.Thanks for the update.I did hear it was her chat show instigated the success of The Simpsons in that the pilot episode was aired on her show.So some,vicarious,success there.I also once saw her re-create the 'archetypal' Jewish grandmother in some sit-com' which made me laugh out loud.So yeah,i'LL 'Wikipedia' her,see what comes up.THANKS.

  • @popazz1 as blainebill39 pointed out, Tracey has had great success here in the US. In the late '80s THE TRACEY ULLMAN show won several Emmys. In the '90s her TRACEY TAKES ON also was likewise hailed and won numerous Emmys. She now has another show STATE OF THE UNION. You can see several clips on the right.

  • @musicaltheatergeek79 ,

    Ok,thanks.

  • Big Fucking Deal ....What about real people like Mother Teresa?

  • @poulsontheprick What's your point? The American Film Association should be honoring Mother Teresa? Or is it your opinion that Mother Teresa got ignored in general? Because that's also a pretty dubious point to make...

  • @quedasobravo Egotist

  • @quedasobravo I'm so glad u r an expert on who we all should be in awe of .I happen to have an opinion that differs from you ; so don't get so smug.Actors with loads of dosh don't really do it for me .OK?i'M NOT EVEN A FAN OF ORGANISED RELIGION BUT YOU ARE JUST ITCHING TO HAVE A GO AT ME AREN'T YOU ?

  • @poulsontheprick 1) I'm an atheist and I have nothing against a kind soul like Mother Teresa. 2) All I'm saying is that this is the AFI, so it's only natural that they should honor an actress. There are many other venues to honor many other different people - if they were giving Meryl Streep the Nobel Peace Prize, then you would have something to gripe about. And 3) If "actors with loads of dosh don't really do it" for you, all this should be a terrible waste of your time, right?

  • @quedasobravo right!!Do you feel good??

  • @poulsontheprick I do, but only because I did have a point and you're just a troll with no credible answer to my question.

  • tracy got some nice tits

  • that miracle whip commercial sucks

  • This was the highlight of the whole show --- and that's really saying something!

    "....you must have your original boarding pass..."

  • Comment removed

  • Gosh, she's actually way funnier than many women, why isn't she more succesful?

  • "God Damn.. That woman whose writing that horrible unauthorized biography of me will have a terrific ending" hahaha " I'm definitely getting second billing here trace".. absolutely classic I watched this video 4 nights now because it always makes me laugh and that french accent too.... whew..

  • Tracey Ullman is hysterical here. Her impersonation of the French stewardess was really spot on, I mean, the accent. I also love how Meryl plays along and really laughs out loud at Tracey's speech. They really must be great friends and are two really talented women in their respective fields.

  • i think she's crazy, isn't she? :D:D

    but crazy people are damn cool :D

  • I love the energy of this woman!!!! she makes me feel in good mood!! she's an earthquake!!

  • @martyndavidson

    Are you sure? At 03:01? Same face, same hair, same dress... Who is it then?

  • what i love is meryl's, and her family's, reaction to tracy...there's love there. they must truly be good friends. yes?

  • go to 3:00. isn't that tracey behind charlize? JUST NOTICED THAT

  • @MirandaHopeYaLikeIt

    You're right! It' s so disappointing though to realize that it was not Theron's reaction to Ullman's speech at all! Her expression seemed so appropriate. But no, it was actually somebody else talking.

  • @MirandaHopeYaLikeIt hahahahahaaaaaa..... this is the funniest joke in the video.... and this is one hell of a funny video..... but i guess they do that in editing

  • @MirandaHopeYaLikeIt hahahahahaaaaaa..... this is the funniest joke in the video.... and this is one hell of a funny video..... but i guess they do that in editing

  • @MirandaHopeYaLikeIt I noticed that as well I thought she was her sister ahahah

    why did they do that?

  • @MirandaHopeYaLikeIt no sweetie it isn´t her, that´´s another woman. tracey´s on stage and the other girl has bangs. so no they didn´t cut.

  • @1:20 Ullman's impression of Meryl Streep's voice is DEAD ON!!!

  • @caesiume

    You aren't even pathetic, you *aspire* to pathetic, and fail at that as well.

  • @caesiume - C'mon, she doesn't come down to Burger King to knock you at your job.

  • @Alvin4NY I am the King of America, actually, and have more than 20 PHDs. Enjoy your poor excuse for a life.

  • @Alvin4NY - anyone touting their accomplishments over a message board from a clip of over eight years ago, can't be too self confident, but I guess you can stil be that sensitive. So it's surprising to hear you knock another, calling the clip boring and stupid, when everyone in the room was laughing their asses off. Bet you're a blast at parties.

  • Ullman herself is a cut above the rest. Amazing woman.

  • the "craziest" englishwoman on the planet, put her and Russel Brand in the same room and it be a riot, lol.

  • She is so funny.

  • Love this! Tracey and Meryl obviously stayed friends after Plenty in the 1980s and both have went on to continue their careers with awesome performances. Tracey's State Of The Union is incredibly well done. A real Tour de Force! Meryl...what else can be said? She's amazing! 2 great women Love Meryl's reaction to Tracey's comment regarding her age & the work on offer. Actresses over 45/50 have great talent on offer. Let them show it! Thank god for cable TV which has good parts for 40+ actresses

  • Fucking commercials!

  • Look how excited Grace is at the beginning and end. This woman truly is a part of their family and a friend of Meryl's.

    Hilarious speech :)

  • fit & funny, brilliant.

  • Tracey is awesome!

  • I think the two dislikes are the Bitch from Nice and her fat, sweaty lesbian lover.

  • @Rennimagus

    HA!

  • @Rennimagus Good one

  • You can be awarded à knighthood by the British empire (nowadays the commonwhealth) like K t Kanawa or J Sutherland. But youre only a knight or dame in countries that recognise such titles like Australia or New Zealand. Canada doesnt.

    Ronald Reagan was made a knight but since USA doesnt either he wasnt allowed to use the title.

    Helen Mirrens grandfather was à russian diplomat stranded in the UK after the revolution so shes british born

  • Stacy Pullman rocks!!!

  • Meryl looks wasted

  • Absolutely amazing Tracy Ullman! I could watch this 100 times and still laugh out loud!!! :-)

  • @paulgseng I'm counting,too. I've watched this several times now and still lol at it!

  • @DATKIDEPIK93:THANK YOU!

  • 5 stars. Tracey Ullman is great!!

  • lol

  • i'd SO totally bang her

  • Tracey Ullman is SO underrated---well, not completely. Woody Allen cast her in "Bullets Over Broadway", and she added so much to that production.

  • @shibopshibop "Has everybody met Mr Woofles?!?!"

  • @shibopshibop she is a female comedy legend man i remember her show when i was a kid

  • @shibopshibop I completely agree. But that movie had so many supporting genius actresses/actors.

  • I just discovered Tracey tonight. All I've to say is OMG she's a genius. She's really up there with Amy Sedaris. Fey/Poehler who?!

  • WHO's that one person who doesn't like this??? HAHA

  • @shvalets dustin hoffman

  • @shvalets Bwaha! That's awesome. Maybe the bitch from Nice!

  • what did she yell at the end?during the appluse she yelled somehing but i couldnt understand.someone,please,tell me before i go insane!!!!!!!!!!

  • @merylfan4 i think she says "the gummers, the gummers"

  • @merylfan4

    when meryls standing up "You're the only one working, all the rest of us actors show our tits" and the very end "all the gummers, the gummers"

  • Hi, could you write some text to this expression, please?

  • she's so fucking hilarious.....her husband doesn't seem to have much of a sense of humor, though. meryl seemed to love it, though (: (:

  • I love them both. Simply down to earth! Great job!

  • she's fucking hilarious!!! she's really good at impersonating meryl streep

  • Tracy is the bomb! Love her!

  • "You're the only one WORKING !!" she's so hilarious I couldn't stop laughing ^^ God... this woman.. she's crazy but amazing.

  • Tracey is just great!!!

  • She reminds me of Amy Sedaris!

  • Tracey Ullman is so beautiful and talented!

  • Vulture man! That was hysterical!!

  • Is it me or at 3:00 minutes exactly, when they show Charlize Theron, is it Tracy Ullman behind her?!?!?! Maybe she has a twin... but they're wearing exactly the same outfit.

  • @kinani8 seems so, although it can't be! How spooky is that!

  • OMG, YOU'RE RIGHT! XD CREEPY.

  • i noticed that too than i saw your comment realized i was the only one. maybe it's bad editing and that clip of charlize was from another part of the ceremony

  • doesnt meryl streep's husband ever laugh or smile??

  • @sahjimon Watch more closely, yes he does :)

  • @sahjimon Lol!! i've noticed that too!

  • Is Tracey Ullman a Dame yet?

  • @Davidlp70 Can't. She's American (got naturalized several years ago). I think to become a Dame you have to be British

  • Hellen Mirren is a Dame and she is Russian born. But i guess cuz she is an English citizen now she can have damedome.

  • Davidlp70 there is no such thing as an English citizen, see if you can realise your rather insulting mistake without me explaining it

  • Don't think Helen Mirren was born in Russia, just has Russian heritage.

  • @yalejomo

    I believe you can be a Dame if your country is in the Commonwealth.

  • @poursuivant1 No, your have to be a British citizen.

  • Then how do you explain Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, a Kiwi, or Dame Joan Sutherland, an Aussi?

  • yes, you are right, makes me wonder, too. So probably it's commonwealth, although wikipedia says "British Citizens". Any British Citizens here who can help on this issue? Thanks.

  • Interesting that Wiki says citizen instead of subject, as in subjects to the crown.

  • @yalejomo Well, Julie Andrews was made a dame 10 years ago and she said at the time she was surprised 'cause she felt she wouldn't be eligible as she's "lived in America for a long time." I don't know if she's a naturalized citizen, though.

  • What's Tracy exactly saying in 1:25 imitating Meryl? I don't get the words fully. Thanks.

  • Meryl's fingers at 0:34 are hilarious! Perhaps she suddenly wondered if Tracey Ullman would mention any names, and was terribly embarrassed!

  • Charles Dance perchance?!

  • That's what I thought...he seems somewhat unlikeable.

  • "You're the only one working, all the rest of us have to show our tits! Please give me a job! Please!" LOL

    she is HILARIOUS and a genuis actress and certainly way underrated in America. Then again, perhaps she is too charmingly crass, self-depricating and cuttingly honest for American audience sensibilities.

  • @Bicseko Well said!!

  • EVEN YOU! who so rarely gets treated like crap, then and now!

  • i think it's hilarious how they cut to clint eastwood and mike nichols when tracey ullman makes the comment about meryl's age. haha.

  • tracy's speech was hilarious but i was paying more attention to her hair that she kept sweeping back. its gorgeous. she looks radiant here.

  • ThanQ for this absolutely delighful and humorous tube of Tracey Ullman. She has this unique almost corny sense of humor which gets me in splits every time I watch her. Those so called "stiff upper lip" Brits can surely make you laugh ! They have taught the world to laugh and have produced the best humorists of the world. Brits are the Gurus of humor writing and no education is complete if you have not read P G Wodehouse IMHO. Tracey, you are simply great !

  • Why isn't This woman a bigger star here? Why do we have so very few women comedians who command big salaries and make box office hits?

  • I honestly didn't know who she was until yesterday and she made such an impression on me I decided to youtube her. I wish she was around more, I want to see more of her.

  • WHAT a speech...beautiful

  • when was this?someone answer me please.tnx

  • @whit14344 This is the award ceremony from 2004 when Meryl Streep was given the AFI Lifetime Achievement Award.

  • God, she makes me laugh - belly-achingly so. What an amazing sense of timing and her accents are just so spot-on. Wish she were seen more regularly on tv and movies.

  • That was HIL-ARIOUS!! Tracey is fab. Doesn't she look good, too? How old is she now? Bring back the Ullman

  • rofl

  • Did they bleep out the word "tits"? That's kinda weird!

    Awesome speech, though. I love Stacy Pullman! :D

  • Tracey Ullman is hilarious!! Meryl we love you!! =)

  • lol

  • of all the people that spoke at this event, she was the only one who spoke directly to Meryl as if they were alone in the room.. AMAZING

  • I felt like they all did. Goldie & Carrie Fisher. This was my favorite afi tribute.

  • 2:09

  • I DONT CARE TUTUTUTUTUT

  • Oh man, I want a girlfriend like that ..

    Tracy rocks .. ha ha .. Cool
