It seems that this clip has caused a fair bit of upset - enough at least for the Daily Star to run a rabid report about how it was 'bigoted and racist'. I was actually quite surprised at the sketch myself, more for the fact that it's not very original or funny than for the obvious stereotypes though...

I don't think it was offensive in the slightest if i'm honest. I have to agree with you though...it wasn't funny at all...i didn't laugh once.

Interesting to see the process behind her characters and how she works.
