Mammoth series two review – it is a subversive thrill to laugh at these offensive jokes
  • The second series of the sitcom Mammoth, featuring a PE teacher who awakens after being frozen since the 1970s, has been reviewed positively for its deadpan humor and critique of masculinity. The show cleverly addresses contemporary societal issues through the lens of its outdated protagonist, providing a unique comedic perspective on modern life.
  • This development highlights the show's role in reviving political satire and social commentary in comedy, a genre that has seen a decline in recent years. By tackling offensive jokes with a subversive twist, Mammoth contributes to the ongoing conversation about masculinity and societal norms in Britain.
