I think one effect of the language in this clip to make it funny would be the way they used a modern colloquial register. The way in which they talk to each other is not what you would expect from a conversation in that time, and the modern twist and use of words such as 'blud' and 'lush' gives it the unexpected humor at how ridiculous it seems. Their accents do not change, they keep the accent which you may expect, but the words change, this makes it sound odd and out of place.

The sentence structure is also peculiar and not what you would expect, with sentences such as 'I love the seaside, isn't it'. The 'isn't it' at the end makes this sentence strange as it doesn't belong there or make sense. It doesn't have an answer and doesn't get one, but it adds humor as it is so strange. The language used is funny because it doesn't belong or suit the surroundings, and the situation they create is out of the norm. Words such as 'nudey' don't have any meaning behind them but we know what he means. The uniqueness of the language used is what makes the clip funny. The dialogue is snappy with the sentences being short and quick, making the jokes stand out more and not having long, boring sentences, as well as the sentences not having many pauses, this makes you flow with the dialogue and there's no time to get bored or lost in the clip. The sentences make sense to us as we hear it but when written down they seem more strange as you begin to notice the non-standard English within it. The phrases such as 'all this' and 'this and that' are understandable but probably wouldn't be expected to be used in that time. The use of the language in these sentences has sociolect we would maybe relate with teenagers today (example: the word 'blud').
