This clip if based on a boat trip based on D-Day. It's a very comical version, which features unusual ongoing of a comical transformation or the event.
In this clip the actors don't think they're politically incorrect or racist, however they are and it's ironic. They say in denial humorous speeches such as 'It's weird that Curly Wilson, let us take his place on the french trip' As if it's a holiday, however they're going to war - that's the joke. The use of taboo language and sexual terms such as 'pubes' is a way to create a 'easy laugh'. Sociolect also features within the text 'Lush' a British term for 'nice' or lovely' this is a informal way of saying it.
Sociolect features throughout the clip such as 'Donkey rides is cruel blud', this is unfamiliar for a adult as 'blud' is associated to be said by a teenage sociolect group. Taboo language regularly features within the clip such as 'shit' which is an addition to the humor.
Are the actors racist? Careful with your terms. Try and say how differnt linguistic techniques combine to create something unexpected which is therefore humorous. Why is the target audience, do you think?
