Audience Pleasures in Car Share

Car Share uses transgressive humour like a dogging joke in episode two that has a snowball effect throughout the episode. This gives the audience the pleasure of anticipation as they are expecting the joke to appear again and again. Transgressive humour is also used when a butchers advert accidentally uses double entendre which is very funny for the audience. In the last episode, Kayleigh paints her face to look like a blackcurrant, but seems to be trying to 'black up.' This accidental racism is funny because it uses transgressive humour and also links to Kayleigh's naivety. There is narrative resolution pleasures at the end of episode one as their journey had many ups and downs but they wanted to continue car sharing together. At the end of the last episode of the series, there is further narrative resolution as John and Kayleigh have their final car share together. The duo put their differences aside and remember how much they care about each other. This is very enjoyable for the audience as it gives them a feeling of resolution. This is enjoyable for the audience's viewing as it provides them with a very satisfying resolution. The audience has a specific pleasure with Sian Gibson's character as she is very ditsy throughout the series and seems to be oblivious to common phrases. This is funny for the audience as her stupidity is at the centre of many of the jokes.
