Chris Morris = Genius! 
Damn. This guy is too, too clever. What's he up to now? I haven't seen him around in a while. 'The Day Today' and 'Brass Eye' still make me laugh most weeks, if only in my head recalling some of the lines. | |

I do think they crossed the line a couple of times, though. I understood what they were geting at with the paedophile one , but ...some things are just never gonna be funny, you know..?

Don't worry Americans. Walk on by. This is wit, not chummy 'Friends' type humour. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it.  | |

Don't forget, "Jam" - the most twisted, fucked up sketch show ever. 
Available on dvd - aired a few years ago. 
Recently, i understand he's been writing a show which is currently on in the UK called "Nathan Barley". I haven't watched it, and reviews have been mixed (though i gather from friends it's pretty good). | |

My fave one was the short MTV spoof, with the rapper Phur-Q and a snippet of a skeleton in a noose as a VJ : "Hi, I'm Ian Curtis..." Sick, wrong and tastless, but it still makes me chuckle. | |

I do think they crossed the linbe a couple of times, though. I understood what they were geting at with the paedophile one , but ...some things are just never gonna be funny, you know..? U laughed though didn't you? It was undeniably funny. And the paedophile episode was Brass Eye not TDT. There's just so much in there, it's hard to pick up the first time around. The social comment is insanely sharp. There's not been anything on TV before or since anywhere like Brass Eye. Yet at first glance many people just shrug and say 'wtf???' | |

the brass eye paedophile special was incredibly insightful and witty.
Tabloid outrage following it only served to underline the point he was making. Gawd bless the Daily Mail, home of right-wing wankers for decades.  | |

Didn't he get pulled off the air (Red!, stop it! ) for the "Paedophlie" Special. I remember there was a big hoo haa about it.
He was very funny indeed, until he over did it with that particuler prog. 
I still love you though Fauxie  (<--- You, me and your fan club embracing )

And, yeah, I guess you are right about laughing at the paedophile one (yes, Brass Eye, so it was) but even so, I still feel it was wrong. | |

I'm sorry, but it's true. You don't have anything on television remotely like it. There's a different type of show in the US. Many are funny as anything, but not in this style of twisted satire. It's a world away and would never be broadcast in the US. | |

It was perfect. The timing was brilliant. The reaction was everything they could have hoped for. | |

well, i'd have to get my computer fixed for one.
Then purchase some blank dvds, then copy them, and then send them to: "Beardo, Thailand" I think that would cover it. | |
