Ricky Gervais says that people nowadays often confuse the subject of a joke with the target of the joke. I always liked that.

[@Matt19matt19]

Then combine that with people getting offended on behalf of others. Finding things to be offended by instead of just actually using their brain.

[@AfterWorkReactions]

That is a great way to put it!

[@martymart6143]

[@davidz2808]

Yes, and some say that there's no context in which it's acceptable to use particular words & phrases. So they say that the major's conversation with Basil shouldn't be screened, even though it's clear that the reaction is that the major is a senile old man who says ridiculous things. The 'offending' part has been removed from the ep on iPlayer.

[@arconeagain]

@@davidz2808 the major says things that weren't so outrageous in his time, he doesn't know he's being racist necessarily. Basil's reaction is a measure of a generational change, that things are moving forward, even in the 70s. However, this all falls down in the end, his prejudices come to the fore when he loses his inhibition. Although he does react to the black doctor earlier.

You gave an absolutely perfect summary of the whole racial, gender, age aspect of the comedy. Brilliant to hear, loving your work and looking forward to you hitting 100k soon.

[@Fishmorph]

Yes, spot on. This is exactly why John Cleese and Connie Booth wrote the scene this way. You can make fun of racism by putting those thoughts into the mouth of a foolish character. Even Basil's rabid anti-German sentiments are put in a context where the audience can say "No, don't say that!" We're laughing at Basil's bone-headed behavior, not the slurs themselves.

[@KotRFFXIV]

Wish there was more people like him around!, most people would flip their lids and go on a social media rant about how it needs to be removed etc. Not saying this would be okay now but for the time period even then as explained you have the old racist man and the other dude who is just trying to get out the conversation.

[@Ass_Burgers_Syndrome]

I was gonna say the same thing, you saved me a lot of typing lol ! It's the same kind of thing with another series around the same time which people claim is racist, that being Love Thy Neighbour. The white guy (Eddie Booth) was the butt of the joke because he would make comments his black neighbour (Bill Reynolds), even though he actually got along well enough with him and his wife, he would make black jokes and we would laugh at the stupidity and short-sightedness of Eddie. Bill always got the better of him in the end.

You did a very good analysis of the racial talk between Fawlty and the Major, and how their age difference (and thus the times they grow up in) makes them handle the issue differently too.

[@njones420]

It's weird to think back in the 1950 there were less than 20,000 black people in the entire UK, most people never had any exposure to them (to be fair, it's still only 4-5%) I remember my grandmother telling me about the "lovely" US-GIs stationed nearby, and how she'd always invite them in for tea :)

The whole point about the Major is that he is at all times a drunken old fool, who never makes any sense. That it was he used the phrase was absolutely intentional. At this time the National Front was growing in popularity, they were mocking the attitude by connecting it with someone like the Major.

[@Hannahxx1971]

Along with Till Death us do Part. The racist characters were either nutters, truly obnoxious or both.. certainly not the type of people who you could empathise with. That was the point, the audience was laughing AT them, not with them. I think it was a far better way of addressing the issue as opposed to pretending it didn't exist.

[@tick999]

This episode is a masterclass on writing. The structure is as good as you're ever going to see on screen. One can actually see the line of the script where Basil loses control! I am not aware of any American comedy show with a structure as amazing as this show. It's 46 years old and has never been bettered! By the way, the poor, senile old Major wasn't what we consider racist by today's standards: people of his class sort of talked like that! It was dated even in 1975! John Cleese is a polyglot, he speaks many languages including perfect German!

[@stewartcohen-jones2949]

Agree. There’s a handful of episodes of Curb your enthusiasm that I would say are on a par.

When I saw you reaction to the clip of this which just randomly came up in my suggestions a little while ago I had to sub as it's a show I love (ironically they are doing re-runs of this series on BBC1 over here in the UK at the moment). I've watched a lot of old comedy clips from shows back then & even though they were really funny at the time, the jokes just don't work now. I feel that this show is something of an exception because it is just as funny now as it was then & because of this it has truly stood the test of time. I'm glad you didn't find the part you spoke about offensive as I wasn't sure how you'd take that. The Major is just an eccentric old man who doesn't have any sense of tact but because of this he can be a hugely funny character. I believe the BBC have removed that clip from the episode on Brit Box. I'm really glad you've enjoyed this series so far & hope it has persuaded you to react to the second series.

Your analysis of this episode is excellent. It's sad that people don't get it these days, and don't understand that it's actually taking the piss out of racism and xenophobia, whether it's the Major talking about cricketers or Basil brilliantly spoofing the idea of how so many English people are still obsessed with Who Won The War Anyway (which is still the case even today, with how the right wing media and politicians portray anything to do with the EU and Brexit); in fact this episode is probably even more relevant today nearly 50 years after it was first shown.

[@MrSwanley]

I believe you are exactly right that Fawlty was not expecting the Doctor to be black. The UK health service had (and has) a long standing problem of recruiting enough properly qualified doctors and nurses. Some time in the 1960s they started recruiting from Caribbean countries (Jamaica etc). Prior to then a black doctor or nurse would have been a very unusual sight. This episode was filmed only a few years after that policy began, so it's correct that Fawlty would have had no experience of it before.
