Understatement refers to what is known to be true is conveyed less to create emphasis. Such statements downplay an important concept of the situation. Such statements are used to create irony or humorous tone.
Kaufman through this understatements mock the British and to parody British society. The calm manner of the characters in such a situation exemplifies the stiffness and excessive proper manner in which British act.
