As Stephen Fry says in his autobiography, the Saturday Live audiences were more interested in how their hair would like on TV than anything happening on the stage.

I gave that a like just for being recent. It's true though. Their conferences are also very similar to those 'networking' events. Halfway between a Bafta ceremony and a religious cult meeting. Actually, those are probably *all* the same thing, ultimately... Also when scientists describe their colleagues before a talk. I don't know how those colleagues don't just throw up all over the desks. Every time one replies sarcastically - like 'I, on the other hand, have always found Professor Dinkeldorf to be a vacuous self-promoting trust-fund dweeboid, and I have no regard for his work' - I believe that angels dance around on the clouds and scatter the earth with good things. :)

No, he's parodying the American mannerisms adopted by these small-time executives. Like the way they say "based out of " instead of just "based in", and the US sports phrases they use. British people adopting American ways is a recurring theme with Fry & Laurie. Ironic in Hugh's case, I suppose.

@@frankshailes3205 I make the observation that the sketch references a now-defunct airline, has placing its performance pre-1988. The use of BCal over say British Airways, I would conjecture, is based on Laurie's character trying it on with a stewardess and BCal's ad campaign based on the Beach Boys "California Girls' with the strap line 'I wish they could all be Caledonian girls' . Other references in the sketch that date it was the bragging about using a car phone. Precision comedy of its time. That is what. Thanks for commenting.

The script-writer deliberately writes rubbish jokes and stories to poke fun at corporate humour. Of course these sales execs aren't funny: that's not their job. The sketch is steeped in irony, that's what makes it funny.
