Questions on the Inbetweeners and AYBS

Draw similarities and differences between the style and use of humour in the 'Inbetweeners' and 'Are you being served

Are the jokes still being aimed at the same groups?
Jokes now still tend to be heavily sexual. However, in AYBS the male jokes are aimed at women and vice versa. This is still evident in the Inbetweeners. The Inbetweeners however, being modern, is much more blunt and crude. It is definitely aimed at a younger audience than AYBS and this is shown through both the jokes and the age of the characters.

Are stereotypes still being used for non PC comedy?
In AYBS, one of the stereotypes is of a gay man but it's never mentioned that he's gay. However in more modern shows, like the Inbetweeners, it is made more obvious and the stereotypes are exaggerated.

Has our sense of humour advanced?
We are more open about things, such as sexuality and race, but we still make fun of them as we find the same things funny. It's more that our way of expressing the humour that has advanced, as opposed to the humour itself.
