Similarities between Inbetweeners and Are You Being Served?

1. I believe the jokes are still aimed at the same people. The teenagers in inbetweens are aiming their jokes at teenagers of today. This is done through the language and grammar they use. Where as in Are you being served the jokes are aimed at males and females of middle age. Inbetweeners links with this when the dad makes jokes. These are aimed at men of this age.


2. Where as in are you being served where the used a gay person for the politically correct jokes in inbetweeners they don't do this. They don't use any characters meeting stereotypes and this may be because the world is so politically correct and therefore they are scared to make any jokes related to this as it may be deemed racist, sexist or homophobic. However neil's dad is deemed as gay and yet he doesn't meet the stereotype of this when seen visually.

3. I believe the sense of humour has changed. There are less punch line jokes but more anecdotes used throughout the program. This can show that we are harder to make laugh in this modern day and need more of a build of mature jokes as a pose to predictable jokes that are deemed as unfunny and immature.
