- The Legend that is Chris Morris. This was a well known section clipped from the immense "The Day Today". A great pastiche of a certain music tv channel and a rip of a certain genres of music's fascination with gang culture. I remember recording this on VHS but then transferring just the audio to tape and taking my walkman into school and forcing people to listen to the whole show.
The Day Today is a surreal British parody of television current affairs programmes, broadcast in 1994, and created by the comedians Armando Iannucci and Chris Morris. It is an adaptation of the radio programme On the Hour, which was broadcast on BBC Radio 4 between 1991 and 1992. The Day Today is composed of six half-hour episodes and a selection of shorter, five-minute slots recorded as promotion trailers for the longer segments. The six half-hour episodes were originally broadcast from 19 January to 23 February 1994 on BBC2. The Day Today has won many awards, including Chris Morris winning the 1994 British Comedy Award for Best Newcomer. All six episodes are available on BBC DVD, having previously been issued on VHS.
When Rok TV used to play music
hah!
I miss rok TV...
I will never stop laughing at fur q.... the lyrics are mint and proper in tune with a real gangster rap tune... its funny as fuck
it makes me wonder if sascha baren cohen was inspired to create ali G from this clip...
@@jamesfletcher474 possibly
The Uzi Lover track at 2:48 is bloody good and pretty much bang on authentic rap, could be NWA.
Yep, I'd buy it. It's the Starskey and Hutch theme at the start, then Phil Collins (Shes an easy lover). I'd even go and see Fur-Q in concert (Blouse as support would be a bonus).
@@GavCritchley Don't forget the Carly Simon sample at 2:53.
@@GregOrCreg I neveer knew what that was from. Thank you!
Blackface
Remind me of Eazy Es solo stuff
For the people saying it's blackface I think it's just a darker tan to look more American, you need to remember the Day Today had an entire section on old racist TV including black and white Minstrel shows
It's not blackface but it is blackfishing, which is different from minstrel shows in that it's makeup done not just as a caricature (I mean it is in here, but not in the same way as minstrels) but to look 'really' black. Like whatever the hell Ariana Grande is doing with her skin tone. Still racist in a different way. Chris does nail his musical parodies though
"During the stage version of the song, in the live show, he k*lls five people on the stage, during the stage show, live, as it's performed."
…following the discovery of a FILM
Teen Spirit was the name of a deodorant so not far off as a parody.
Harfynn Teuport Chris is kinda hot, NGL
The Ian Curtis bit is the only time Chris Has ever apologised for offending someone. Curtis' daughter was a fan of the show and had convinced her mother to watch an episode with her. Cosmically bad timing...
chainsawchav Also, comically.
ooph! Love 'em both.
You know, out of all the TDT and BE stuff, that was the only clip I thought was a bit cuntish. Oh well, great great shows though.
@@jamesconnolly741 same, all the dark jokes about paedos or whatever were obviously targeting the media or culture etc but this joke doesn't seem justifiable. It is truly bad taste. Fair play to him for apologising for it.
that's fucked up.
Back when fur q made real hiphop
Fur Reel
I to this day I can't listen to Smells Like Teen Spirit without hearing the line "cause the top-sheet, is a dry-weave"
Cracks me up every time.
It's fucking amazing.
George Formby singing Subterranean Homesick Blues is pure genius
Who's to say Bob Dylan didn't nick these songs from him?
@@GregOrCreg There's no evidence for it, but it is a scientific fact.
I’m Marvin Gaye!
Sound great in cake@@chebghobbi
@@RogerDeDodger-n6x When I buy cake from my dealer, we refer to it as Hattie Jacques' pretentious cheesewog.
26 years old, but a million times fresher than any satire that's around today. God, do we need Chris Morris now...
@Leo D'Arcy FOUR Lions
Christ yes!!
yes the four Lions was pretty weak ..for sure . . . .!
@@krishnan-resurrection714 it’s not it’s realistic to how radicalisation works
@@taknobowl5707 i'll take your word for that ....
Uzi lover is a legit banger
Gun to my head, if I have to pick one distasteful blackface performance from the past to preserve and all the others are destroyed, it's this one. After all, it's clearly ironic.
I can't believe they got Sinead O'Connor.
They didn't have to pay her much. It was just chicken feed.
That bird will do anything for publicity.
Poor Phil Collins: first Uzi Lover, then Nonce Sense.
Even something like Bob Dylan currently being in hospital after eating a rotten wolf is amazing
And now there’s a rapper called Lil Uzi. I just think of this but every time I see his name.
The zoom in to Cher at the end 🤣🤣🤣
Back when Rok TV was actually good.
That actually sounds a hell of a lot like Nirvana.
@Spartacus Mills TL;DR can you sum it up in a sound?
LAnonHubbard
Spartacus Mills: “Whoooa”
That’s how Spartacus Mills sums everything up haha.
@@ThisCharmingMan1984 its Nirvana so it would be more of a: Euuuugghhh
I think that was the idea 🤷🏻♂️
@@LAnonHubbard aaaarrrrhhhuuuugh
Kurt's even playing left-handed.
Chris Morris gets everything right.
Lone Star that's because he's a "musician".
All his parodies are great pastiche of what he's parodying. This is like Early Eazy E without the raspy voice. The REM ones my favourite
Sukie Bapswent, you would.
Yes!
I collapsed laughing when I watched FurQ when it was on live. This whole segment is just genius.
I love everything about this, but perhaps my favourite part is that anyone who has only seen MTV post-2000 will have absolutely no clue what it's (very accurately) lampooning.
Do they not have presenters like that still and arty animations?
@@ChrisCoombes Do they? Do they even play music videos anymore? It all seems to be wall-to-wall 'reality' TV show dreck.
"Hello. Ian Curtis here..."
Awesome. Chris Morris played every leading part in this section.
Except for Sukie Bapswent, right? Right?
@@surfdigby Wasn't that him as well?
@@BarraTerraceBoywake up
This whole controversy is prepowsterous.
Anyone remember Loaded magazine including Uzi Lover in their top 10 Gangsta Rap songs of all time? 😂
Even in 94 Morris summed up Gangster Rap and the 2 decades that followed of Fur Q wannabees....talk about well ahead of the curve
Morris = Brilliance.
The Ian Curtis bit was fucked up even for Christopher Morris lol
I think it's the one joke he apologised for (to Curtis' family). Still, I don't think the joke was at Curtis' expense so much as it was at the dumbness of MTV at the time.
Are you leveling all those charges against Herman the Tosser?
is Morris doing Formby as well? That's a bloody good, Peter Sellers level of imitation
Finally saw the Inside No. 9 '3x3' episode last night, and was compelled to come here after they referenced Fur Q
Jesus Christ Chris Morris, he wouldn't even get this aired now. What a beast.
Truly great satire. It's so accurate it's *almost* not funny
Almost not funny is my favourite kind of comedy.
@@lukef3559 yep. Smiling forehead.
His black American accent is amazing
That show had concentrated talent.
Who is here because of inside Number 3x3 ..?
Yup lol. Forgot how funny this is.
Yep, it popped up in my recs and it being mentioned the other night is why I clicked. 3X3 was one of the most disappointing 9s ever though.
That episode was amazing!
This was the only time someone has changed the words of Teen spirit so well for a mass produced product for women. Take note marketing departments.
Fucking love the Nirvana pisstake.
Sukie Bapswent is clearly Katie Puckrick. Also, Sinead O'connor as an ostrich is just amazing. Morris is a genius.
Mick Hucknall as Charlie Drake.
Katie Puckrik rocks. But still quite a good pastiche…
I had always presumed he was doing a parody of Laurie Pike who at the time presented some US based shows on channel 4, like Manhattan Cable and Made in the USA. She and Puckrick were sometimes mixed up.
@@kitharrison8799 Derren Zikks = Gavin McInnes?
We are talking Uzi MC, we are talking the blood rap movement...
Herman the tosser?
Herman the Tosser!
Sukie Bapswent: Oh hey oh
Big shout-out to Lee Mack and Catherine on this. ;) #3by3
The Nirvana spoof is brilliant.
A-ha a-ha ! Best way to end that rap
love how his english comes out when he says bitch
Fur-Q is actually played by Chris Morris
At least I know the clip of DJMark Goodier is from Tommorows World broadcasted on 21st March 1991
Mark Goodier is an absolute legend. The Evening Session was from the heart and was ruined when those two dreary musos from the music press took over. Indie went downhill from there too. Some say Stuart Maconie coined the term Britpop but Mark Goodier gave birth to it when he played Popscene by Blur twice in a row.
Entering Cher's ummmm... ...parts was hysterical. The Ian Curtis bit gave me the giggle fits.
On the DVD, presumably due to rights issues, they used Madonna.
🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣 im still laughing at this 20 years on.
Chris Morris is genius. All right with spelling professors here.
He's not a sane man but god damn he's funny!
Shame Herman the Tosser wasn't featured
Xennials had the best TV
Chris Morris is a great musician and needs to make an album outside of his JAM mixtape stuff!
You can kill some people but you can't kill everybody wise words indeed
Or you wouldn’t have anyone left to respect. If you did
The end bit with Cher!
The full vaginal zoom!
Sukie Bapswent! Almost as good as Purves Grundy, lead singer of Blouse.
Nirvana, Ice-T, and Lisa Kennedy are all parodied in this?
Paedogeddon may have been the most brilliant piece of satire. The hysterical media, who knew the joke was about them, manufactured outrage among the public, who never watched it.
Pipe 2 pipe bushman
If Kurt Cobain were still alive today he probably would be advertising pantyliners!
furq1234 No, but he would of found it funny.
furq1234 Teen Spirit was a girls' deodorant so this is not that far off.
He'd probably would of needed money after spending his on all those drugs & booze he had.
He shot himself cos he was a sell out bitch
My Girl my girl don't lie to me, tell me where did you sleep last night.
on FlyBE airlines, the chair reclines.
Harfynn Teuport looks like Jacob Collier
Lol
The line "where she lay twitching" shows up in Blue Jam.
where?
Yeah, where?
@@VictorianDad shows up in the London Dungeon monologue here: th-cam.com/video/P65x0fqtgXs/w-d-xo.html
Many thanks. I'll say it again: genius.
Absolute genius, from a time that will be sorely missed, god the 90's were great.
The killings are obviously ironic...
Rok TV is all crappy “Reality” shows now, however a Morris reality show would be amazing
It'd be amazing if u went outside
Checked this out after watching 3 x 3, absolute shame what happened to that family
Chris Morris splits my sides from end to end 😁
Stop shagging him then.
Sukie Bapswent looks exactly like Sandra Bernhard. 😂 You would think it was her.
The word genius gets thrown about way too much but Chris Morris definitely deserves to be called a genius.
He even managed to pull of a perfect and funny Nirvana parody without being offensive. I think this came out when Kurt was still alive so I'm sure things would've been slightly different if this came out a few months later but still, I'm a Nirvana snob who's almost impossible to please when it comes to Nirvana parodies but Chris nailed it.
The only phrase more overused than "genius" is "ahead of their time" but Chris Morris really was ahead of his time. Absolutely brilliant.
You couldn't do this today.
Sadly......
Chris morris ........ Legend
Did he do the killing to Mark Goodier in the end?
is fur q a member of the blood rap movement?
I wouldnt even call Fur Q blackface, the humour is the all about the music not the fact hes black . Unlike the horrible supremacist David Baddeil who targeted blackness itself.
Excellent comedy from Chris Morris
Probably the greatest sketch ever concieved.
Gangster rappers do seem like they have killed someone
I wonder where Sukie's baps went.
South I expect.
Chris Morris is an imposter, by the way.The Day Today's Chris Morris could read an autocue better.
Just saw this with my brother,, lold do hard I needed 2 panadol.🔫💊
He really nailed the style of the 90’s Mtv presenters.
would
Whingers cry out for Two Ronnies but this is cutting edge brilliance
He looks like Eric Andre in the rap vid 😂
Sukie Bapswent went on to become Julia Bradbury ....
I hope Dylan recovered after eating that rotten wolf. 😕
Phil Collins would be most proud.
The king of all kings
I had never seen the sinead o connor bit before. Loved that show
The Ian Curtis bit is the only time that Chris Morris ever apologised. Ian Curtis' daughter loved the show but was understandably upset.
So who did ironic blackface better: Robert Downey Jr's Kirk Lazarus, or Morris' Fur Q?
The whole controversy is preposterous.
Robert Downey Jr was playing an over the top parody of a method actor, that’s why the character was in black face. The role wasn’t him playing a black person.
' You've got to kill people to have respect for people ' Ive been saying that for years. Fur Q was a poet. 😄
Fucking nailed Kurt
Timeless
American rapping now.
Richey Edwards at 0:07???
Yes
