Vicky Pollard

So,

Vicky Pollard, the chav era.

You know, chavs were the butt of a lot of jokes in comedy in the early 2000s.

So, yeah, you had...

And they always tolerated her being there.

I just think they're just going to do that with Vicky Pollard.

And this is like, I keep calling her Vicky Pollard, Tiffany Pollard.

Tiffany, New York.

um and i just i just feel it's a bit too late in the game like what's the point it's the last two weeks yeah i don't think you need to do this but they are doing it so

No, no-

What are you, Vicky Pollard? Yeah, but.

I mean, for God's sake-

But I watched it so hard that me and Tom ...

Well, me, I was Vicky Pollard for Halloween-

So this is the era of Little Britain's Vicky Pollard, Catherine Tate's Lauren, and also in the press, there is this combining of chav sort of style and lifestyle and criminality.

Notably, in 2005, you get the start of the happy slapping moral panic, where there were, like, a few videos of people, like, slapping random people in the streets.

There were soon reports that this was happening, like, thousands of times a day.
