Satirical humour -The mocking of individuals in a comedic yet slightly insulting way.
Stereotyping - A fixed, over exaggerated and generalised view on specific individuals in a particular group or class of people. Stereotyping within film allows the spectator to just be faced with what that character is like rather then making their own decision about them; this could be either an advantage to some or disadvantage to others.
Advantages of stereotyping in film is that the spectator may feel as though they can relate to the individual on screen; this could be due to many elements such as cultural and political beliefs, background/setting, accent and dialect etc. Whereas, the disadvantages of stereotyping in film may include not acknowledging differences between individual people and categorising people.
Banter - Banter is a friendly and playful approach to the exchanging of teasing remarks. Banter allows the audience to have a better understanding into the relationship and comfortability between two or more characters within the narrative.
