    I love these sketches because they complete invert the standard joke structure. The comedy is all in the set up, while the punchline is absolutely given and predictable from the beginning.

    • @ayebraine
      @ayebraine 2 роки тому +48

      I think it rather mocks the bad-quality, bad taste oldtimer comedy which is more familiar to British viewers maybe? So the ultra-predictable, vulgar punchline is satire itself, it's made as awkward and benny-hill-like as possible.

    You have to admire Hennimore's amazing talent to hide his malice behind a mask of incompetence. I mean, when repeatedly presented with two apparently indistinguishable alternatives, he manages to consistently pick the one that is bad for his boss. Not 50% of the time, but 100% of the time. Obviously he knows which is which, and is picking the bad one on purpose!

      Of course, that was the whole point of that joke, and if you put a ratio on Koreans who eat dogs it's probably gonna be like 10 to 1 or something these days. But I gotta admit, even as a native Korean I sometimes miss the 70s comedy shows with these stereotypes. It's really funny to see how silly was the Western world's perception on us.

    While I do feel bad for him, after a while I can see where Hennimore kind of brings these situations upon himself by not taking more preventative steps. Checking to see which golf bag is real and which one isn't, and then sticking the false one away in a closet, seems easy enough. As for the film cannisters, he could ask the boss to add "rated" to the label on the one that's supposed to have an X rather than a cross on it just in case they get turned around (which even the boss does so himself). At least that way, it's not on him if the cannisters were mixed up to begin with.

    There’s clear solutions to all three sketches.
    First one, just check if the golf bag has hinges on it or not
    Second one, just remember which room is on the left and which is one the right.
    Third one, leave them on the table as he left them so one has a cross and one has an x.
