Poking fun using racial and cultural stereotypes. So Bernard Manning, Charlie Williams, Love Thy Neighbour, Rising Damp, On The Buses, It Aint Arf Hot Mum, The Black and White Minstrels etc etc... Sadly poking fun at some sterotypes still remain, eg, Irish, Polish, Scousers, Brummies, Aussies - though in a few years, maybe even these will be thought of as from another time....
