The real humour of Alf Garnet was he didn't realise how stupid he sounded, but he has lots following his example.

Alf Garnet was a bloody good laugh for his time.

i find it amusing to watch the old shows, but as time moves on it becomes nostalgia, i have black and asian friends and even they will laugh at the OTT jokes on the show, now days it isw totally out dated, may be considerd mildly offensive. the world is changing for the better albeit slowly
