Background

"Pip"

In "Pip", Malcolm McDowell presents Charles Dicken's story "Great Expectations". The format parodied that of the TV series "Masterpiece Theater".

"The Snuke"

In "The Snuke", the British attempt to invade the United States to deny America its independence, however, they fail when the United States Air Force jets fly in and destroy the Royal Navy. Queen Elizabeth II then commits suicide.

"Members Only"

In "Members Only", Boris Johnson calls then-President-elect Garrison in a panic and warns him about the dangers of eating the Memberberries. Garrison, who is blatantly unreceptive, angrily disconnects the call with an insult to the British politician.

Military

The British are portrayed as sailing in Revolutionary War era naval vessels. The Army is shown equipped with the outdated musket and wearing the standard 'red coat' uniform. However, modern technology such as mobile phones is still used by the commander of the fleet.

Britons are also seen as knowing all about castles, legends, and myths. Their clothing is archaic, including flat caps, Victorian style bolas ties, and red jackets.

Trivia

Britain's rivalry with France is referred to in the episode "Conjoined Fetus Lady", when Pip Pirrip is pressured into playing dodgeball.
