Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The special is centered around sharp, observational humor and personal anecdotes rather than narrative, ideology, or forced identity themes. Acaster keeps the focus on creativity and wit, not tokenism or political messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values, religion, or family rarely take the spotlight, but there is no agenda to undermine or mock them. The tone is irreverent yet even-handed, no excessive deconstruction of culture or masculinity here.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Acaster pokes fun at everyone, himself included, steering clear of ideological lecturing or villainizing alternative viewpoints. Comedy is inclusive in both directions, avoiding heavy bias or caricature.
