What We Think

Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa is about as non-woke as you can get in the last decade. Storytelling, character, and universal satire dominate, with almost no allegiance to modern ideological trends. If only more comedies kept it this real.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Alpha Papa is laser-focused on parody and satire built around Alan Partridge's well-established personality. The film places humor and storytelling above any push for identity themes, representation quotas, or ideological insertions. All characters fit their roles in a way that feels organic and earned, with no identity-driven shoehorning.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no noticeable agenda to undermine traditional culture, family, or religion. Masculinity is largely played for comedic effect but not demonized, and classic British sensibilities are front and center. The film doesn’t attempt to retrofit moral lessons about modern culture wars into its narrative.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the humor can be irreverent, there's no dogmatic ideological bent. Traditional and alternative perspectives are lampooned equally, staying true to the Partridge tradition of making light of everyone, not just a targeted 'villain' group. It comes across as genuinely pluralistic, rare these days!
