This cartoon satirizes British parliamentary protocol and the role of ceremonial functionaries. A citizen is being ejected from Parliament's entrance by a yeoman of the guard. The citizen protests that he must be allowed in because he is "the man wot cries 'Ear, 'ear" at the right moments during speeches—the person responsible for prompting applause and approval from the gallery. The satire mocks how essential this seemingly minor role is to parliamentary decorum. Without someone to cue the "hear, hear" responses at appropriate points, the proceedings would lack their orchestrated dignity. The joke suggests that British parliamentary tradition relies heavily on such artificial theatrical conventions, and that this humble functionary is paradoxically indispensable to the functioning of government, despite his low status.
