The Prince Philip gaffes are mostly signs of an actual sense of humor. I took for granted that he’s the fool he’s portrayed as but the quotes show a satirical sensibility. Most are obviously poking fun, many by pretending to be ignorant. Some are tasteless, but they seem to be on the whole rather intentionally so.
jomiku, I love this gaffe: “You managed not to get eaten then?” And there’s still 85 more to read!
Yes jomiku, satire Archie Bunker style. Happy to make fun of those lesser beings, which is about anyone that isn’t …himself.
Being of Slavic decent and having a pot belly, I found No. 6 to be particularly amusing: “You can’t have been here that long – you haven’t got a pot belly.”
