In the sketch I noticed how our language has developed significantly over the century. I know this by the slang and idioms used in this sketch, making it humorous to the audience as they first appear to be posh and well mannered.
In the sketch, they used the idiom 'Oh my days' which is commonly used if in shock. The sketch replicates the younger generation's use of grammar and lexis very well, making it easy to appeal to and laugh at. The use of slang also helps with this as the younger generation instantly relate to their dialogue, for example "Yeah man" and "I feel well betrayed" suggests that this could language could only be used in the right context or group of people.
This sketch is set in WW2, which makes the slang and informal language appear to sound worse than it will when said nowadays. I think that the sketch over exaggerates the use of slang to appear humorous to the audience and appeal to the people who dislike the use of this slang.
