AUDIENCE PLEASURES WITHIN WALLIAMS AND FRIEND

AUDIENCE PLEASURES

Being a sketch show, Walliams and friend makes sure to feature a series of audience pleasures, as an example, narrative pleasures like a resolution can please an audience by providing an satisfying/funny ending to a skit. 
As an adult audience, more transgressive humour can be used to satisfy them because instead of hearing the crude jokes as a child and not understanding them, they now understand the reference making the adult feel more aware.

A sketch show also uses character identification and snowballing narrative to link jokes and satisfy an audience. Character identification is used to make the audience become more accustomed to the jokes that a specific character makes and how they behave so the audience vaguely knows what to expect from them. This also links with familiarity and recognition. Snowballing narratives are about keeping the joke going by adding more and more punchlines and witty remarks.
