From the perspective of a comedian, contemporary trends like cancel culture and identity politics are both chances for joke-telling and risky minefields to cross.
As The Guardian says, this sharp comedy (written by Naomi Higgins, Humyara Mahbub, and Mark Bonanno) centres on a group of super-privileged and opportunistic gen Zers named Mia (Olivia Junkeer), Penny (Higgins), and Austin (Wil King). It rushes into the realm of the brave and the damned and finds satire in the rapidly changing cultural mores.
Why Do You Do That? This is directed at Gen Z: "This is the most shameful thing I've ever done,"
The underlying message is that despite and perhaps even because of positive cultural progress, opportunistic human behaviour will always persist. It's a bold premise that uses topics like gender, ethnicity, and class to make dark jokes.
