Armstrong and Miller RAF pilots 'D-Day'

The writer of this comedy scene has set the scene on D-Day which was a day of great importance in the war. They have made two characters seem completely different to the typical soldier by not only the way they are dressed, but how they talk. The characters are using slang words to shorten their sentences and using words that would not have been used in this certain period of time. The way the characters describe the war conflict they are supposed to be taking part in as a holiday and the viewer of this clip can tell they aren't taking it seriously by the way Armstrong says "I don't think I'll bother, it's really crowded" and Miller replies saying "Yeah man, it's rammed." The dialect being used by the characters tells us that they are conversing like teenagers from the post modern era when they are living in a time much before that. The writer has also made the characters politically incorrect as they begin to speak about diversity as they seem to take the officers comment about camouflage as a racist comment when back then there wasn't much diversity so being racist wasn't seen as an issue.

The way this script is presented to us shows a colloquial register as there is slang and nicknames being used in the text. There may be certain words used in the video that may be offensive to some viewers such as the use of the word "Gaylord" which is known as a use of taboo language which shows how the writer was playing with language and sociolect. The sociolect we recognize is men who have a polite and well spoken accents talking in the same way a teenager would now a days.
