Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

House of Fools is a surreal British sitcom focused on absurd humor and slapstick, not identity politics. Character quirks drive the plot instead of ideological themes. There’s little sign of forced representation or priority given to messages over comedic storytelling. In our view, narrative integrity remains firmly intact.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional British humor and family oddities are played for laughs, not lectures. Masculinity and gender roles are lampooned in a tongue-in-cheek way, targeting everyone equally. There’s no overt undermining of cultural, religious, or moral traditions, just the usual nonsense expected from Reeves and Mortimer.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The show isn’t pushing a modern ideological agenda or mocking dissenting viewpoints because, well, it isn’t interested in ideology at all. The eccentric characters rarely care about anything other than comedy. There’s no evidence of ideological uniformity or villainization of alternatives, just gleeful chaos.
