On the Buses - Xmas move treat for
Discussion
The puzzle of On the Buses the movie.
Stan and Jack undermining their employers and employment all day every day.
Women only exist to be taken advantage of.
Women challenging the cosy man world of driving a bus resisted with dirty tricks galore.
Blakey the villian, but basically just someone bullied by the militant duo.
I wonder if this film is put on as a xmas joke to appease a fuzzy dishonest nostalgia for the past in the average reform voter lol.
More accurate to rename it Taliban on the buses.

You say it was funnier, back then but I watched an episode of Morecambe and Wise with Kenny Ball Bobby Gentry, Peter Cushing et al and it was a pretty laugh-free zone.
They had some classic stuff but a lot was very average to dull.
Never really liked On The Buses, Dad's Army was more my awkward type of humour.

Everything has filler. I remember Spitting Image really only having 1-2 exceptional bits every 2-3 episodes. Everything else was broad and rather crap. They had some classic stuff but a lot was very average to dull.
Of the 'family entertainment' comedians of yesteryear, Les Dawson holds up best for me.
Never been much of a sitcom watcher, and I can imagine almost all old ones are painfully of their time now, and that's without sexual assault and race war taken into account.
Comedy is strange these days.
Take someone like Jimmy Carr for instance, he can come out with the most obscene joke and get away with it but if he came out with anything Stan Butler, Rigsby, Norman Stanley Fletcher said back in the 70s he would be chastised for it.
I don’t really know where the guide lines are these days but realise some of the 70s was of its time.
Harry Enfield even made that spoof of On The Buses in that OTB was so crap it was quite funny.
