while Are You Being Served is a product of it's time and does contain some.. questionable jokes, i always thought mr humphries (who was played by a gay actor) managed to be camp and hilarious, and completely genuine at the same time. an absolute icon honestly
series: are you being served (1972)

The thing that I loved about Humpries is that not only was he beloved by the show, characters, and audiences. He was not made into a fool or character to mock, which would have been so easy, especially back then. He was smart, witty, friendly, popular, and happy with who he was. He had friends at work, everyone knew who and what he was and they all accepted him and adored him. They also show that Mr. Lucas (who was the typical male of the 70s) is best friends at work with Mr. Humpries, they gossip at work and crack jokes together. You can even imagine them spending time outside of work too. Going to the pub or the disco and having a good time outside of work, enjoying each other's company as friends.

He was just a long held and propagated idea of the straight world's perception of every single gay person on the planet. He mocked every single non-flamboyant homosexual who saw his mincing, cringeworthy portrayal of gays. It's like having a straight man hitting his wife and children while going to the pub after work, while flirting with women every day, as representing all men. It's weak, lazy, demeaning, odd and nauseas, regardless of your opinion. But it gets laughs for being completely non-threatening, so that's all that matters

All the other characters would ultimately have falling out with each other but Mr Humphries was always the one to keep the peace.

@tangoelcorte Месяц назад

Yes and no… we always watched ‘are you being served’ as a family. ( i was a teenager ) His effeminate character was actually the reason that i delayed my coming out. As a more masculine gay person i found it hard to accept that i had to identify with the stereotype my parents thought a gay person would be. I never identified through him as an example. It would have helped me if, during the seventies, i had been seeing gay people without the “queerness” as well.

As a 57 year old gay man, I grew up watching Are You Being Served. Despite Mr. Humphries playing an overexaggerated effeminate man, being so was never viewed as offensive or as a put down. All the other characters never made an issue of him being gay and was inherently respected as a contributing member of the store. Seeing a character on TV at the time, made me feel accepted at least in this fictional world. A rarity for the time. Still, it's funny to watch some of these jokes and wonder if they'd ever be done today? I think not without someone, somewhere being offended and calling for a ban (either from the left or right). You think we've come so far today and better off than previous generations...however, perhaps too far. We truly need to get back to not taking ourselves/each other so seriously. A little laugh can go a long way.

This was actually quite daring for the 1970s. Especially a programme that was watched by families. Whereas Captain Peacock dancing with Mr. Humphries was shocking enough that it made the audience and viewers laugh, nowadays programmes such as 'Strictly Come Dancing' feature male-male couples (although not necessarily gay) and quite rightly, no one really bats an eyelid and focus on how good they are as dancers. In the world of politics, Europe has now three openly gay prime ministers in Luxembourg, Ireland (The Taisoeach), France and it looks increasingly likely that the upcoming First Minister of Wales will be Jeremy Miles, who is also gay. In the 1970s, a politician being outed as gay would be enough of a reason for them to tender their resignation and their political careers and reputations ruined. So, 'Are you being served?' was really pushing the boundaries with the Mr. Humphries character.

Mrs. Slocombe was ahead of her time with the various hair colors she wore.

@ferretyluv Месяц назад

It’s blue rinse. You see it in some older women today. When you get old, some women’s hair yellows as it greys. To make it look more silvery, a blue or purple rinse is used as a contrasting color to make it look white. But if you use too much, it just makes your hair have a bluish or purplish tinge. This is also why elderly women voters who tended to vote conservative were called the “blue rinse brigade.” It wasn’t progressive, it was part of her character.

Google the "L'Chiam" scene in Fiddler on the Roof, or the wedding scene in that musical. Everyone is scandalized when Perchik wants to dance with Tevye's daughter, since in their culture, men and women just don't dance as couples. And this was just over a century ago. So I don't get the shock over Mr Humphries and Captain Peacock dancing. It was a dance lesson, as I recall, not them having any kind of inappropriate relationship (Captain Peacock was married).

I'm 40, in the U.S., and I grew up watching this show. Mr. Humphries was my favorite character.

I loved this show. I laughed at his character because he was genuinely funny and endearing. As a kid, I didn't know he was a gay icon, I just knew that he was funny. People laughed with him, not at him.

Mr. Lucas and Mr. Humphries are my two favorite characters.
