Has the humour advanced from what we have seen in AYBS?
Yes, it's a lot more rude and there is swearing compared to the light hearted humour in Are You Being Served. It's no longer just innuendos and is now just sexual jokes. Are You Being Served jokes were aimed at adults by Misfits was very much aimed at teenagers. The jokes are aimed at more groups of people in Misfits than in AYBS such as ethnic groups and the disabled. The jokes in Misfits are a lot more offensive than in AYBS. There is still a generational gap between the teenagers and the probation officer.
Are jokes still being aimed at the same group of people?
Jokes are still being made between genders and the young and old. The probation worker didn't find any of the teenagers funny, which highlights the generation gap. The whole show is aimed at teenagers. The show may be slightly aimed towards men more than women, there are more sexual jokes made by Nathan about girls.
