Douglas Adams, a fervent admirer of P.G. Wodehouse, created similarly witty, irreverent, and elegantly written humorous fiction, though he employed this style in thoughtful and absurd science fiction. Both authors were adept at satirizing society through vivid analogies and clever witticisms. -- Derek Keyser
Satirical humor is the hallmark of both P.G. Wodehouse and Martin Amis. Their comedic forays combine wordplay, slapstick, and serious observations about social class, modern life, and in Amis's case, the deterioration of contemporary culture. Though Amis can veer into the grotesque, he and Wodehouse are equally stylish and witty. -- Mike Nilsson
British writers P.G. Wodehouse and Kingsley Amis used comedy to explore their respective generations' rigid social stratification; Wodehouse skewered the aristocracy while Kingsley Amis attacked the world of the effete intellectual. Both effectively combined satire, slapstick, and wit to make their point through wordplay and, at times, sheer silliness. -- Mike Nilsson
These humor writers are known for the scathing wit and elegant prose they employ to satirize British social class and cultural mores. Though Stephen Fry is more modern in the sense that he addresses sexual orientation and drug addiction, both he and P.G. Wodehouse are charmingly irreverent and outright silly. -- Mike Nilsson
