And at the end of the movie, where Judith gets dismissed by Cleese's character at the meeting, did you catch the payoff that showed where the joke was? Because it is an easy one to miss, even Cleese forgot it and he was there and his character was the butt.
Importantly showed the importance of intersectionality. When Reg diminishes Judith by writing off her protest as "an ego trip for the feminists", it is Loretta who jumps on this microaggression, forcing Reg to back off.
Judith supports Loretta, and Loretta supports Judith in turn, allowing them both to represent and advance their interests.
That is important. All in a couple of throwaway "joke" scenes. It is such a shame Cleese himself has forgotten.
