Peter Kay's Car share || Audience pleasures

Peter Kay's Car share - Audience pleasures 



  • They identify the two main characters, both are really chatty and they bicker for humorous effect.
  • We can identify it's a situated comedy as them being chatty helps the story and characters personalty develop. Also its on going; it's linked.
  • Unpredictability makes the comedy more interesting. It happens in the first episode when Kayleigh spills her urine over John, this effectively makes it more humorous as the audience isn't expecting it.
  • Snowballing (the continuous dog joke)
  • British comedy
  • Transgressive humour
  • Gains popularity as Peter Kay is well recognized
  • Predictability (when they pull over to the dog walker)
  • Private jokes between the audience and the characters
  • Turns morbid subjects into humorous ones
  • Repetition (always plays dated music in the car) 
  • Same setting each time
  • Crude language
  • Immature behavior
  • Exaggerated personalities
  • Advertisements are weird to set up the characters to mock them  
  • Familiarity- people may relate as its a typical daily life situation; them driving to work and the parodies of the local radio adverts. 
  • Music has a nostalgic element
  • Diegetic sound to move the narrative and there is a narrative resolution at the end of the series to conclude it all
  • The unpredictability heightens the comedic value and creates and unexpected climax
  • racist elements but kayleigh is unaware that it is offensive 
  • Peter kay channels his personality into the programme, he has the same style every episode by using northern slang and says things that are relatable to daily life.
  • Borderline offensive
  • Characters relationships grow
  • References to comedy duos in the past
