The content is taking off the middle class, but the overall satire I think is of the way middle class have this type argument about being working class. Like it's a badge of honour
No, they did this a lot in The Fast Show. You already knew the punchlines, the joke was seeing how well they could misdirect you with the setup (or how they could tell you what the punchline would be right at the start of the sketch but _still_ make you want to watch it - ex., Unlucky Alf Sketches).
That's how you can tell the other two aren't middle class. True middle class people would have said "Oh, fantastic! We've always wanted a gay friend! Let's go suit-shopping!!!"
This hits the mark. As Australians we are fascinated by how obsessed the English are with class. It's funny to watch two English people meet and go through the ritual of determining who is higher on the class scale. This skit subverts it in a way as you often get two trying to show off who is more Working Class. Like " my neighbourhood was tougher than yours, my family was poorer" kind of thing. It's really funny. That's why this show was so brilliant.
I love that even the silly British sitcoms are better than most of these American TV shows beloved by critics I've been made to watch for the last few years... Public school means public school, and middle class means middle class It's all English
Sort of. I'd suppose you'd have more chance of a middle class family being progressive and supportive of you coming out, especially back then. Unless you were unlucky enough to have been born into one of those super conservative rich religious families, then it'd be even worse than your average working class family.
@@danielwilliamson6180 A girl walks into a dry cleaner. She drops off her dress and turns to leave. The owner says, "Come again!". She says, "No it was toothpaste this time."
Ok so I’m middle class apparently. Scrabble, art galleries, the wooden bowl (with matching salad tongs), public school etc. most of this is me. I’ll add in a caravan, a silver sugar dispenser, special grapefruit spoons, corn on the cob forks and drinking Black Tower from pewter goblets.
I want to see racists pretend they're not racist! Imagine... I work with a black person. Well, my cleaner is black. Well, Icried at 12 years a slave! 😂
