1. Are the jokes being aimed at the same groups of people?
The jokes are not being aimed at the same people anymore because of in AYBS the jokes were aimed at a wide range of people to try and attract a bigger audience with more mature jokes and jokes after each line so they can get lots of jokes to attract a lot of people. However in The Inbetweeners the jokes being used were different as they are being aimed at a much younger audience from the ages of 13-20 as the jokes being used are all reflected to being teenagers. The groups of males and females who used to laugh at separate jokes in AYBS have been converged into laughing at similar jokes.
2. Are stereotypes still being used for non 'PC' comedy?
Stereotypes are still being used in the inbetweeners which is an non PC comedy and this is shown with the stereotype to Neil's dad being a pedophile as he is homosexual which puts it out that all gays are pedophiles which is obviously wrong, also there is other stereotypes like the Dutch girl is addicted to sex as she is from Holland, which puts the stereotype out that all Dutch girls are addicted to sex which is also wrong. Another one is the stereotype that people are boring unless they do something stupid and bizzare like when Will eats a Bonsai tree to prove he is not.
3. Has our sense of humor really advanced?
Our sense of humor has partially advanced; for younger people it has advanced by having not a lot of uses of inuendo's and instead that actual thing being said which can be shown as the pure sickening things that they say on the inbetweeners. However for older people the sense of humor has receded with jokes becoming more mature and harder to find out.
