Mr. Creosote sketch from The Meaning of Life?


Is basically what the Captain's Dinner scene is turned up to 11 (as though it wasn't already). Monty Python should sue as should everyone who wasted a couple hours of their life on this crap. Kind of like Hollywood likes movies about itself (La La Land), I guess rich people like movies that make fun on them to assuage their conscience?

The Abigail metaphor is also painfully obvious and heavy-handed.

Good connection

I don't disagree. I immediately thought of Mr Creosote too. And thought overall it was rather toothless as a satire and rather on-the-nose.

I was also reminded of an interview with (British satirist) Chris Morris a few years back, in which he said: 'The problem is that I think we've got used to a kind of satire which essentially placates the court; you do a nice dissection of the way things are in the orthodox elite and, lo and behold, you get slapped on the back by the orthodox elite, who say "Jolly good, can you do us another one".'

I think that description fits Triangle of Sadness rather well.
