Brass Eye

geeza · 30 Aug 2007 at 13:10

I used to watch this years ago and have just watched episodes of 'crime' and the 2001 special on paedophiles. When my mates watched it they didnt think it was funny but I loved it. Its a weird type of humour but personally i think its fantastic

Things like in the crime episode it shows how inmates are running an international airport from the centre of the prison and the governor doesnt know about it. And in the paedophile special how they are using discuises and the latest man has discuised himself as an elimentary school and cctv shows him moving down the street

Anyone else love it?

brass eye was amazing, funny that, I like most chris morris stuff

The radio show, On The Hour, is funnier imho.

Never really watched it, may buy the DVD for it though. I do like JAM though, Chris Morris' stuff is so dark, but SO funny.

morris is working on his next project with writers of peep show. should be excellent.

I remember watching it once thinking wtf is this.. but then i relised and found it very funny... i liked the bits where they got celebs to do mini advert things i remember one with Richard Blackwood something about a keyboard and how paedophiles can use it to give off some sence thing.. cannot fully remember but something along those lines.

I've got the DVD, its brilliant. theres a joke, i think its in the animals one where they have a graph and keep adding new data to it and then its starts to flash and voice over says "and when we compare this on the graph its starts to flash"

Just cracks me up everytime!

Two words: Shatner's Bassoon.

EDIT: Oh, and the Peter Stringfellow ad-break outro

I just think it is amazing how they got away with it, cake got mentioned in the houses of parliament for gods sake!

Morris is a comedy god

paul8811 · 30 Aug 2007 at 13:49

Make sure you check out "The Day Today" even more amusing imo.

jas72 · 30 Aug 2007 at 14:02

yeah the peado one is brilliant it's probably not funny if you read the gutter press but if you are more sophisticated then you'll see the humor.

The Cow terrorists had me in stitches.

Morris is hillarious, but a lot of my friends find him annoying. Each to their own i guess.

Le_Petit_Lapin · 30 Aug 2007 at 14:09

My friends Mum thought it was an actual News program when I stuck the DVD in. She is far from the sharpest knife in the drawer. Couldnt understand what we all found so funny, she was pure shocked. It was hilarious!

Alas, I dont know what I've put the DVD now though.

The humour is a bit like Marmite really, some love it, some hate it.....personally I loved it.

Chris Morris is great in the IT Crowd too, perhaps the only true funny character.

Or are we too nice? 'This is a bus load of flies that are being sent on holiday to africa, theyll enjoy somalia, but should they!?'
