That's Jeeves and Wooster. And that was itself a parody.

I use some archaic phrases; I refer to "chaps", some disgraceful act being "a bit off", my hat is my "titfer" (cockney rhyming slang hasn't been restricted to cockneys since the 50s). But I don't pretend to be an Edwardian bourgeois twit, like the ridiculous Rees-Mogg.

I'm sorry I didn't get your humour; it's a drag to have to explain a joke.
