In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Benny Hill isn’t just non-woke, it’s the kind of irreverent, unfiltered comedy that modern Hollywood seems embarrassed by. It thumbs its nose at ‘correctness’, woke or otherwise, and just goes for the laughs.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Benny Hill focuses on slapstick humor and simple sketches without ideological messaging. Characters are cast for comedic fit, not identity. There’s no discernible emphasis on race, gender, or sexuality over personality. It’s the anti-woke sitcom model: characters are silly, all in on the joke, and definitely not teaching culture-war lessons.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show leans heavily into traditional British humor, pokes fun at gender roles, and doesn’t undermine family, religion, or masculinity. If anything, it’s often satirized for not being progressive by modern standards, definitely not for tearing down cultural foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Benny Hill displays a variety of viewpoints, mostly through caricature, but it isn’t promoting one ideological narrative or demonizing traditional values. There’s no woke monoculture here, if anything, it would horrify Twitter today.
