Shana Allen and Gregory sharp
Who produced it?
King Bert productions. Linked with the BBC.
What audience is it aimed at? Why?
the older generation like over 30s because of the sense of humour and how they tell jokes linked with that age group for example dad dancing.
Why is it on at that time and on that channel? Link to 'type' of comedy and target audience.
because it has rude humour and it is not suitable for younger kids so its on at 9 so they don't se it because they will be in bed.
Is it on after the watershed? Why?
yes it is on after the watershed because its not recommended at children and its on or after 9 a clock so they don't watch it.
The type of audience pleasures you need to write about in the exam include:
- narrative pleasures such as those of narrative resolution,
- character identification, snowballing narrative, suspense, comedy, and so on
- pleasures of recognition, familiarity and anticipation
- pleasures of difference-within-repetition
- performance unpredictability and spontaneity
- transgressive pleasures
- specific pleasures associated with performers or personalities.
AUDIENCE PLEASURES
Being a sketch show, Walliams and friend makes sure to feature a series of audience pleasures, as an example, narrative pleasures like a resolution can please an audience by providing an satisfying/funny ending to a skit.
As an adult audience, more transgressive humour can be used to satisfy them because instead of hearing the crude jokes as a child and not understanding them, they now understand the reference making the adult feel more aware.
A sketch show also uses character identification and snowballing narrative to link jokes and satisfy an audience. Character identification is used to make the audience become more accustomed to the jokes that a specific character makes and how they behave so the audience vaguely knows what to expect from them. This also links with familiarity and recognition. Snowballing narratives are about keeping the joke going by adding more and more punchlines and witty remarks.
