The film’s humor is derived not merely from the clash of personalities, but from the intrusion of the grotesque into the sterilized world of espionage. For example, the scene involving the duo hiding inside an elephant’s uterus flips the script on the traditional "hiding in plain sight" trope. By forcing the elite spy to participate in the absurdity of Nobby’s world, the film strips away the glamour associated with the genre, reducing high-stakes espionage to a series of bodily functions and accidents. This serves as a critique of the artifice of spy films, suggesting that reality is far messier and less dignified than cinema typically portrays.
