Compare how two television programmes you have studied offer comic representation of gender

In this es tell I call up to use twain sitcoms to answer the question. Gender representation is a study part of many sitcoms and I will be looking into why this is, and how they are represented whimsically. I will be using an result of Absolutely Fabulous and an episode of Keeping Up Appearances to provide me with ex international ampereles to stay my ideas and opinions.* Absolutely Fabulous- Eddie- derisory featuresOver cloaked, flamboyant & eccentric behaviorNo sense of moral or political correctness (buying swap from African villages)Physical behaviour- poor co-ordination of arms and hands- looks comical- lots of movement. (Example- when arrives late in & faces questioning from Saffy)Voice-sounds younger than she is & talks want she is younger- comical because trying to hide from her real ageLanguage- talks like a teenager, talks to daughter like she is her mum (role puff) similarly degrading to daughter, audible and immature behaviour.Not stereo common mum- quite the opposite, stereotypical teenager. (mood swings & behaviour, dress etc)Main interest is men- questions Saffy virtually when she will finally protrude a boyfriend.Generally close to of her features are exaggerated to increase comical value.Saffy- comical featuresVery boring/ sensible dress sense, dull colours & appearance- even though a teenager.Sensible & boring- role reversal with her mum- example- when telling mum off about returning home late. dust language- reserved, sensible, quiet and controlled.Tries to make deals & compromise with her mum- role reversal again. Also with Patsy- T.V show.Well spoken, doesnt use slang, swear or shout.Stereotypical mum, portrayed by a daughter 9role reversal with her mum)Relies heavily on Saffy.Generally most of her features are exaggerated to increase comical value.Patsy- Comical FeaturesShows how women can get wherever they want- slept with her Boss to get a better job.Pretends to be professional.Dresses like shes on a catwalk- completely inappropriate & ridiculous. Uses too some(prenominal) make up & has an overdone hairstyle.Addicted to cigarettes and alcohol.Tries to use and counterfeit Saffy- uses sob story to make her appear on T.V show.Appears to be genuinely shallow with non more of a life & few friends- when she is desperate to go to lunch with Eddie, as has no one else to go with.Generally most of her features are exaggerated to increase comical value. opposite notes Patsy and Eddie- more than best friends, rely on & take each other.Magazine editors- all similar to Patsy. Some appear actually aristocratic. Main editor- genuinely professional, smartly dressed, busy, taking what some would perceive as a male role.Patsy and Eddie try to get as much free stuff as they can from the building- demonstrates that although they be stand like the others, they pharisaism afford to live the lifestyle or dress the same.T.V show- Presenter is typical morning T.V presenter- dress, behaviour and style. Very awkward situation & jester doesnt know what to do or say, and fails to appreciate the situation- national television.Keeping Up Appearances hyacinth- Self obsessed, eccentric & extremist. Overpowering and controlling. She is embarrassed of her family except for her ample sister. Very Snobbish. Tries to show off to visitors and family/ friends. Obsessed with material goods & value as well as appearances. Centre of attention. Speaks freely & says what she thinks about others, unaware of others feelings.Richard- Does as he is told, also finds Hyacinth dominating and overpowering. Puts her out front his job although it should be the other way round, he finds it difficult to say no to her. Highly sarcastic.Elizabeth- She does not like Hyacinth and is very scatterbrained around her- does not want to do or say the slander thing. Discusses Hyacinth with her Husband- make jokes and dislike her, particularly Emmet.Daisy- Poor appearance, obviously no money. Tries to do & say the right thing for Hyacinth, like Elizabeth, very nervous around her.Daisys husband- Very poor appearance, unaware or not bothered. Dislikes Hyacinth. However is not that uncomfortable around her- tries to take biscuits from tin. Again, as with Richard, modify & sarcastic humour.Other Notes more than sexual practice issues- family & hearty as well. Hyacinth is centre of attention for all wrong reasons. Hyacinth and Richard have different values in life (far more material) to Daisy and her husband.Conclusion.I conclude that representation of gender is a major part of these two sitcoms. In absolutely fabulous, gender representation is used to make comical situations of women, but underneath, there is a moral and it is saying this is how women are and have ended up but that not all end up this way. It is showing the viewer how women can be, although this is a highly exaggerated situation, Im received many can relate to, or know somebody who relat es to at least one of the characters in the show. It focus more on gender representation between family and close friends.However, Keeping Up Appearances focuses more on the gender representation and its comical values between relatives and neighbours from different loving classes. Again, as with Ab Fab, it mostly features women and the comical features between them, and men bring a smaller role.
