It's so rare to see someone like this in media. Capable of seeing levels above and below what someone is saying, tugging one thread and pulling apart an entire thought in a sentence. Intelligent and hilarious guy.
It's like a clip out of brasseye! Using comedy to defuse a sensitive question, then respectfully answers it. MORRIS IS A GENIUS! WHEN IT BRASSEYE COMING BACK!!!!!
It will not come back too pc now days. Comedy is just not funny anymore. Plus type of satire is deemed as right wing and racist now. I am not joking the world has gome mad.

I don't think Chris Morris would take kindly to your suggestion that his comedy would be seen as "right wing and racist" today, even by the hypothetical fantasy "PC brigade".
@@AnthonyFlack you mean the Hypothetical headline selling fictional group, as oppose to the very real wave of narcissistic posturing outrage? or the relentless Hollywood "progression" machine? The last 2 are very real, the first is somewhat BS. I do agree that Chris Morris is not right wing (or left for that matter) he seems quite centrist to me, Although I dont actually know, I am guessing, because I am not him.
I thought his response was excellent. He made the smart move of analysing the question before attempting to answer rather than the dip-shit move of pretending to understand so as not to look like a dip-shit. The fact that most people are incapable of doing this is the reason he has a career.
And to beat it all instead of making a hypothetical debate scenario, he was genuine and said he couldn't (or didn't want to) think of a response until he hears exactly what was said. He didn't invalidate her (although he did take the piss lol) he also gave her a chance to say what she said she heard and after she didn't remember he at least keeps the dialogue open for the future, but also doesn't give credit to the argument until he hears it actually voiced. Very basic, but very forgotten in this age of the internet. Too many people get pedantic far too quickly for no point.
Here's a suggestion to everybody who posts these types of clips: Put the question in subtitles!!! There is a reason people have mics to speak into and there is a disadvantage to those who are at the back of the room far away from mics.
Dear god anyone writing about a controversial topic these days needs to see this. Its exactly how to answer "this is offensive to x y z" and then just reply "wait am i answering a question about your fiction?"
I don’t have enough information about the context to know whether or not most of the comments completely miss the point - and I bet, crucially, neither do most of the commenters!
It's a leading question though in that asking it implies an opinion. Ask any good comedian a question like that, and they are going to treat it as a heckle.
@John37001 its not a fair enough question, its vacuous of any point relatin 2 how or why some1 might be offended jus askin if some1 was, which no 1 has. great response by chris morris, bang on.
A Room Full Of Dereks - I likes it! Sounds like some conceptual art "installation". I'd go though, don't get me wrong it sounds like just the sort of thing you know?
She asked "I think you probably did offend some British Muslims and if you encounter(*ed) those people in audiences in the UK what your reaction was (*would be) to that?" And his response is that it didn't happen so he can't answer the question, except to say if it did happen only then would he know what his reaction would be.
In my humble opinion, as a fan of the work of Chris Morris, Four Lions had precisely one good joke in it: Cop: You're going to die in that gear, lads. Omar: More than likely, but it's for a good cause.
really? throughout the whole thing, that's the one part you found funny? it's a solid line, sure, but it doesn't really inspire actual laughter... ...in my opinion...
This is the point about PC/woke : It's not demands for censorship by people who got angry because they were targeted, it's censorship on behalf of infantilised others, or self-censorship out of fear.
@John37001 nah its not, its unanswerable, as he's had no 1 come up, n she gave no example of a reason y some1 might possibly b offended, stupid unanswerable question vacuous of any substance, jus relyin on the pretence that it a tricky subject area that he covered in his film, that i think he tackled expertly. good response morris is a top bloke
I've heard about STICKO. They say that when employees of STICKO corporation aren't creating their toughest, longest lasting superglue ever, they hang out in Davos selling stolen babies. Curse those STICKO goons and their world-leading product!
This is the real issue with PC culture, people are scared of being offensive. This woman is worried that Chris has offended british muslims enough to ask a question about it during a Q&A session when it simply hasn't happened. She's worried that it will happen before there's been any inkling that might be the case.
He was a bit harsh considering someone asked a badly-worded variant on "did you anticipate what your response would be if this film angered British Muslims?"
He did answer the question though by saying He wouldn't know what his response would be until he was approached by an offended British Muslim at a screening. Also, How are you doing 11 years later?
how times haven't changed let's make up racism in 2020 is in full swing. Fact me till I Fart.... comedy is comedy, not all think that. I'm on a final warning at work just for telling jokes
Brave woman. If you ask this man a stupid question he is likely to leave you quadro-spazzed on a lifeglug.

taking account of how ruthless some of his comedy programmes are on people, he's an absolute gentleman out of character!
A masterclass in how to deal with stupid questions.
I thought his response was excellent. He made the smart move of analysing the question before attempting to answer rather than the dip-shit move of pretending to understand so as not to look like a dip-shit. The fact that most people are incapable of doing this is the reason he has a career.
Indeed. He deconstructed her frame before building one of his own.
He is more than likely a genius.
@@djcheckmate1 They tested him at Brize- Norton - Mastermind Camp.

Chris Morris has influenced my being since the days of his radio shows on GLR.
An absolute living legend.
It's a very modern anxiety "what is someone stupid were to be offended by what you say/think/do" .
He's brilliant. And he has a new movie coming out this year of our lawdy 2019!
@BeTheDeathOfMe it’s called The Day Shall Come
It's a porno.
Amazing way to let someone know how completely stupid they're being and still remain charming about it
What a wonderfully astute and gentile way to completely rip the piss out of someone. good work!
In the context you may have been making an astoundingly nuanced joke but I assume you meant genteel?
Alas no. I’m not that clever. I just meant gentle.
Any reporter who thought they could get the better of Chris Morris CLEARLY hadn't researched his career...
@De Profundis don’t want my arms to feel like a couple of fortnights in a bad balloon
They never do.
i wish i wasn't so helplessly in love with this man but....here we are

@@ydtmrc I feel u ;o
I literally have nightmares about Chris Morris chasing me with an axe. He doesn't seem too scary here though.
You're both at each others' throats, you're backing yourselves up with arms. What are you going to do about it?
The Dark Lord of British television. Be afraid of him yet appreciate his madness.
Here's a suggestion to everybody who posts these types of clips: Put the question in subtitles!!!

Agree completely.
The clip is ruined by not hearing what the question is

So it's like saying "some people say your work is offensive, what is your response to that?"
Is there a full Q&A video somewhere?
Genius response
pure gold!
Genius.

Hello Chris
PERFECT ANSWER Mr. Morris. I love you.
what a rude woman to firstly assume that he offended muslims with his work without any evidence, and secondly to speak for a whole group of people.
Not rude, just thick.
@@thedukeofnuts and as a result of being thick, she was inadvertently rude.
@John37001 its not a fair enough question, its vacuous of any point relatin 2 how or why some1 might be offended jus askin if some1 was, which no 1 has. great response by chris morris, bang on.
After 11 years, do you still write like this?
I answer questions that are born out of other people's fiction all the time. When do I get paid.
Fancy going around getting offended on other people's behalf
Is the bearded guy wearing a Rolling Thunder T-shirt?
I wonder if the fictional Muslim in side her head was satisfied with the answer and was able to move on peacefully with is non-existent life.
So many weird comments here. Gangsta shit
Morris should be on tv more. Hosting hignfy would be good
He's way too good for HIGNFY.

A Room Full Of Dereks - I likes it! Sounds like some conceptual art "installation". I'd go though, don't get me wrong it sounds like just the sort of thing you know?
Yip.
I can't make out what she asks.
She asked "I think you probably did offend some British Muslims and if you encounter(*ed) those people in audiences in the UK what your reaction was (*would be) to that?" And his response is that it didn't happen so he can't answer the question, except to say if it did happen only then would he know what his reaction would be.
Watch 4 lions....
An American asks why they buried Richard 3rd under a carpark 🤔🤗🤗....
such a legend!
did you think his response was good or not?
r4ltman it wasn’t good, it was near perfect
Just cos he's called Christoper as well yeah? Like all Chris's are the same yeah? You Chris's are all the same. :(
Playing Morris at his own game? Nah. He'd twigged before she finished the question.
You mean fictitious.
In my humble opinion, as a fan of the work of Chris Morris, Four Lions had precisely one good joke in it:
Cop: You're going to die in that gear, lads.
Omar: More than likely, but it's for a good cause.
aw your insane mate, 4 lions is a work of art. give it another pop. but yea thats a great gag
really? throughout the whole thing, that's the one part you found funny? it's a solid line, sure, but it doesn't really inspire actual laughter... ...in my opinion...

What an idiotic question
Nicely detroyed :)
He was a bit harsh considering someone asked a badly-worded variant on "did you anticipate what your response would be if this film angered British Muslims?"
I believe he had plenty of discussion with British Muslims before making the film, so he wasn't going into it blind
He did answer the question though by saying He wouldn't know what his response would be until he was approached by an offended British Muslim at a screening. Also, How are you doing 11 years later?
What's funny now it that American right wing news actually does this, and then places it as news. Except it's not funny.
Always about offending Muslims! What a stupid question
Having to respond to an illogical and confusingly phrased statement. Not so funny when it's happening to you is it Chris? (oh wait, yes it is)
He's hiding himself in plain sight.
I suspect he's very callous and unemotional.
Love his comedy, but I'm glad there aren't too many of him around.
Appreciate the pop psychology. Can you do me next?
What if he was unemotional?
