Scratch beneath the surface and I'll hazard a guess that there is a more poignant sub-text to these two characters.
A & M are parodying the vacuous and slothful street-talk used by the late-teens/early 20s of today.
They've also touched upon that generations' venal claims that the world owes them something - the compensation culture-vultures.

Those pilots would of been the same age as these languorous herberts.

Isn't it?

These sketches are great. They take what Catherine Tate does and make it...funny.

They make me laugh harder than the bird on "Little Britain" and stuff, and I've got no sense of humour and all that, a doctor told me. Random.

You might very well think that. I couldn't possibly comment.

These are probably my favourite sketches. No one else knows what the **** I'm on about every time I say "ISN'T IT"

Ironically we in Wales have been saying "isn't it" to most statments for many a generation - it's nice to see that this vernacular now has urban street cred and stuff, isn't it.

Ironically, we in Wales have been saying "isn't it" to most statements for aeons - so it's nice to see this phrase becoming part of the urban street cred vernacular and stuff, isn't it.

Yeah blad. Everyone's being massively unfair about it which is actually abuse since you 've got like a note and everything.

I like the bit when the man in the building has all his workers giving him all this knowledge about anything and they say to him as he is walking "Bruce Lee is the hardest man who ever lived?

Talking of the aforementioned 'man in the building' sketches... does anyone know who the young lady with the shorter dark hair is? Not the longer haired one, I know who she is. The former usually appears on the left of the screen. She's like asking for it or something... except you can't say that coz it's sexist and *beep*.

[–] Mike Carroll 14 years ago

Actually, you can't say stuff like that because that's like a form of abuse.

[–] carzy_6 14 years ago

Isn't it? He could, like, sue you and *beep* Because that's, like, discrimination or whatever and I'm not even joking.

I was like watching this thing called Armstrong and Miller and this and that and it was like massively disrespectfull to like young people and chit. It's like racist, but against young people and this and that. Standard. Isn't it, isn't it, isn't though.

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago
