Goodness Gracious Me


The clip shows the stereotypical domestic household chores the female undertakes in a relationship. The sketch creates a spin off of the music track "barbie world", meera syal re-enforces traditional values within a relationship. Bhaskar portrays the ideologies of the orient being lazy as he sits down leaving his wife to continue with daily household routines.

Sanjeev is detached from the effeminate representations the orient males undertake as he's seen as a typical british male undertaking masculine roles. Thus challenging Kiplings theory.




This Sketch showcases the ever populating ethnic minority in the UK, and how "the other" is identified as helpless; the group of crowd being stated as "refugees". furthermore the skethc hints out the idea of asians as being barbaric due to the share family size. Moreover the idea of colonialism is hinted out as in this case the asians have come over to Britain to colonize.




The clip outlines the continuous pressure the generation of today face, the writers create a stereotypical father, who's life is in competition with other nieghbours and co-workers. The clip focuses on the stereotypes of future careers for asian children going into law or chamistry and aspiring to be a doctor.
