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

Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em is about as non-woke as it gets, classic British slapstick, no agenda-pushing, and free of modern ideological rewriting. Its only “agenda” is to get you laughing at Frank’s next disaster.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show focuses on classic slapstick and character-driven comedy rather than ideological messaging. Characters are cast and written based on comedic effect, not identity politics. The narrative prioritizes humor and traditional sitcom setups, with no sign of forced representation or identity-weighted storytelling.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Family, marriage, and traditional masculinity are central to the show's humor. The bumbling male lead is played for laughs, but not in a modern, critical way; it's more about situational comedy. There is no attempt to undermine religion, family, or long-standing cultural values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The show reflects its time, with traditional worldviews presented as normal and unchallenged. There’s no modern ideological monoculture or mockery of alternative perspectives, just standard comedic tropes. Any caricatures are played for broad humor and aren't about political or social dogma.
