Jeeves and Wooster (TV series)/Awesome: Difference between revisions

* Bertie finally gets one over on his Aunt Agatha in "Pearls Mean Tears". Aunt Agatha regularily tries to force Bertie into marriage because she thinks he's a fool who needs someone to straighten him out. During a vacation trip, she tries to set him up with a fair and virtous society woman whose brother is also a pious clergyman. Agatha's pearl necklace is stolen, and she assumes the maid took it, and harrasses the girl thoroughly. Meanwhile Jeeves identifies the brother and sister as two rather infamous con artists, deduces that they stole the pearls, and steals them back. Bertie returns the pearls and delives an ''epic'' put-down on Aunt Agatha, in the most condescending, disappointed manner ever, over how she's not only harrassing a poor girl with no evidence, but also her horribly bad judgement of trying to set him up with a con artist, even elaborating (in a comedically overwrought manner) on how disastrous their life together would be should they marry. This ensures that Agatha stops thinking she knows better... [[Status Quo Is God|for a few months at least]].

* Bertie gets to rather magificently -- for Bertie -- tear into Spode and his "Black Shorts" (and [[Take That|by extension their real life counterparts]], Oswald Mosley and his 'blackshirts', the British Union of Fascists):
