The RAF pilots from the Armstrong and Miller Show can be said to show the postmodern blending of one cultural form with another from the recent past, using the colllision for an ironic and comedic effect. This is perhaps an example of what Jencks calls the 'eclectic mixture of any tradition with that of its immediate past.' In the sketch that appears below, is the modern youth culture of the voices represented more positively or more negatively than the 1940s war film culture? Is this sketch homage or parody?
