Tracey Ullman's Show is a sketch comedy series driven by parody and satire, rather than a narrative agenda. Characters are often exaggerated for comedic effect with minimal evidence of forced diversity casting or identity-driven storytelling taking center stage. In general, the show’s humor focuses more on character quirks and celebrity lampooning than woke messaging.

The show occasionally pokes fun at British institutions, politics, and social issues, but does so with broad, cheeky satire rather than targeted attacks on tradition, family, or masculinity. These moments seem intended to entertain rather than subvert, preserving much of the UK’s classic self-deprecating humor.

While modern perspectives and jokes on politics and public figures are included, the sketches frequently lampoon a variety of stereotypes, including both progressive and traditional figures. This variety provides at least some degree of ideological balance by targeting multiple sides for comedic effect.
