Advantages: Sooooooo funny

Disadvantages: laughing can hurt

Race is unimportant - the jokes in this series could apply equally to anyone of any race - they're all about people: the pushy parents, those trying to be something they're obviously not, daft teenagers.

Where Goodness Gracious Me succeeds is that it takes the funny aspects of PEOPLE and shows them for what they are. Everyone knows someone like these characters, and that's why it works - Brilliantly! And they've come up with some classic characters: Dennis Cooper who doesn't understand the type of person he wants to be, the father who thinks all the famous characters were Indian (Superman? Indian! He runs faster than trains - you can only do that in India - Indian!), and those teenagers - innit!

Long may they write!
