Peter O'Hanraha-hanrahan and “this guy” at 14:20 is Patrick Marber. He’s now a very famous director and playwright, his best known work being Closer, which became a movie with Natalie Portman, Jude Law, Julia Roberts and Clive Owen.
HI King Boomer...Quick suggestion reaction...This may have been suggested multiple times before, Nathan Barley. Written by Chris Morris and Charlie Booker. Brilliant!
Fact me til I fart is a reference to an urban legend about a famous newsreader who allegedly had a quick 'liaison' with a crew member but left her mic on and everyone else heard her moan ''f**k me til I fart'. It was also used as a joke in the excellent sitcom Drop the Dead Donkey where the newsreader Sally Smedley had a similar incident.
I'm sure you noticed the bit "The Office" is similar to the later Ricky Gervais show. It even used a similar font in the titles. And it's set in Windsor, neighbouring town to Slough, where Gervais' show is set. Surely not coincidences.
I can remember watching the episode where the pound got stolen on VHS. My mum came in the room and thought it actually happened. I remember her being shocked and asked how that could possibly happen. I just went along with it and let her believe it.
@@RenaissanceEarCandy I don't really remember as it was so long ago. I think the next segment probably made her ask what was going on and then I told her what she was watching.
As for hosts walking off, the most recent was Peirs Morgan a year or so ago, never to return. All because the weatherman criticised his attitude to Megan Markle.
For keeping me entertained through yet another shitty sleepness night. For this nothing-amount of money, I’d like you to eventually look at Four Lions, if only to try and work out how the hell they pitched the concept of the film to a studio, and the studio said “Yeah, go ahead, make it”😂 (You couldn’t really react to it, it’s a full length film), it’s just yet another amazing Chris Morris invention 😊
The actor at 7:30 reporting about Detroit looks like, and i know it is not, Tom Hardy playing Ronnie Kray in the Krays. Always think that. This show was on the cutting edge and all my friends hated it which I could never understand. Then again they never got the Dangerous Brothers. Now that are worth looking up, especially The Dangerous Brothers World Of Danger clip on You Tube (8:38 long one about the Towering Inferno) . Adrian Edmondson and Rik Mayall were The Dangerous Brothers and were of course in Bottom as Richie Richard and Eddie Hitler. Rik also played Flash Hart in Black Adder IV. I believe you are aware of some of these.
In one of the more subtle jokes in this episode, it's hilarious that the Russian children were handed plutonium waste parcels with the message to 'take this home and deal with it'.
The singing group 'The Bee Gees' famously walked off an interview with Clive Anderson, on his chat show, when they didn't like the questions. And, back during the Falklands conflict in the 80s, a government Defence spokesman pulled off his microphone and stalked off during an interview. The interviewer storming off is a new slant.
The Partridge Judo sketch is a (wisely) rewritten Sumo segment from the radio precursor 'On The Hour'. (It was complete with David Schneider doing a Japanese accent 😬😅)
Everyone loves Peter o'hanra Hanrahan. There was another clip of him ( audio only ) that is well worth a look --- a September 11th report, about 3 mins long, I would strongly advise a listen, it was never in any of the shows. Search --- The Day Today - September 11th.
I only saw The Friday Night Armistice, with Armando, Peter Baynham & the weather guy from The Day Today, David Schneider. Armando also produced other shows like Veep & The Thick Of It & a movie called The Death of Stalin which is hilarious.
It's worth checking out the full version of The Office sketch. Think it's about 20 mins long. I've been quoting Armitage Shanks Interface Defecation Scenario for years.
Jill Morrell as a football team? She was famous for campaigning on behalf of John McCarthy who was a hostage in Lebanon. Love spotting things like that.
I'm pretty sure the "confession" video in the skit about the two boys and The Vatican was meant to be a parody of the video of the two RAF pilots who got captured during the Gulf War.
I told you dude. You took a while to catch on, but you obviously are glad you did. You're right in saying the little touches take it to another level. The best 3 comedies made in the UK are this Brasseye and Yes Minister/ Yes Prime Minister.
... also, there's Chris Morris's splendid : Blue Jam tv comedy sketch show .. a sketch show of dark, surreal, horror, often disturbing and melancholy, comedy.
Here’s something of an easter egg! In the credits, they slip in A.M.D.G. This stands for “Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam” (to the greater glory of God). This is written by pupils of every Jesuit school at the top of their essays. Armando Ianucci went to St Aloysius College in Glasgow, as did I. Lots of lads still automatically write that at the top of the page, long after they have left the school.
Ohh f@£mk off that is the best comedy line that I have ever heard, What is a gay? That proper classic..,Man the gay report creased me up but I was downed by the, 'we would never employ a homosexual line❤❤❤
We had a European office team meeting in the Netherlands at a company I used to work for. When asked what each of us expected of the gathering by the Team Consultant Guru chap, one colleague said "No hugging games please". Later in a Q & A session, I asked "Isn't your job just made-up & unnecessary?"
You need to watch Steve coogans "saxondale "its about a pest controller with an anger issue who owns an American mustang living in the English countryside
Great reaction and series. As regards you asking for Armstrong and Miller recommendation's the other day , can I suggest : The Armstrong And Miller Show , Perfectly Innocent 1. It's on TH-cam and is absolutely hilarious , I'm sure it will get you out of your chair 😂.
Yeah the fact the other shows have more of a go at one political party or certain people more so than others what made this great is its taking the piss out of everyone and being hilarious with it
What you have to understand about 'the day today' is that is a piss take / parody of Newsnight. A daily news round up show that used to be insightful and combative back in the day. Sadly no longer. Anyway... if you really want to understand this comedy sketch / series.... you really need to watch an episode of newsnight.
Boomer quite a few like myself keep asking for Harry and Paul 'Quare' (posh accent for Queer) there's quite few of these sketches, faffing. hilarious!!
Brasseye or Trigger happy TV next please Love your ereactions to this Mr Boomer, makes me proud to come form such a messed up (psychologically) country, that produces some weird shiiiiit
I cant tell you about everything I cant tell you nothing, I can't tell you anything in between excepting what I know, which is a friggin small amount! reduction in wisdom is bad or good, except when it is good or bad. Wisdom is like an elastic band. Though just as in quantum entanglement, perhaps wisdom can be all or nothing? It can be all at once and nothing at once at all times. But it usually stays pretty stable! ;-)
The Romans can build a straight road and wall? Bollocks. It's the wonkiest thing in England. Still impressed by it bud Hadrian's engineer and architect must have been hitting the sauce because that is some wonky fucking wall.
the bit where Chris Morris is outraged at the interviewee and storms off .. that was a spoof of a UK interview incident .. Wikipedia says ... In October 1982, during a Newsnight interview with the Conservative Secretary of State for Defence John Nott, pursuing cuts in defence expenditure, in particular Royal Navy, Day posed the question: "Why should the public on this issue believe you, a transient, here today and, if I may say so, gone tomorrow politician rather than a senior officer of many years' experience?" Nott, who had announced he was to retire at the next general election, removed his own microphone and walked off the set
The real news is exactly like this now. The Day Today was so ahead of it's time
Peter O'Hanraha-hanrahan and “this guy” at 14:20 is Patrick Marber. He’s now a very famous director and playwright, his best known work being Closer, which became a movie with Natalie Portman, Jude Law, Julia Roberts and Clive Owen.
“Because when news is squared, fact into doubt won’t go! NOW FACT ME UNTIL I FART!”
HI King Boomer...Quick suggestion reaction...This may have been suggested multiple times before, Nathan Barley. Written by Chris Morris and Charlie Booker. Brilliant!
Nathan Barley is genius! Lots of people you’ll recognise in it.
Definitely - brilliant show.
Nathan Barley was originally a character in a show called C*nt that was a mainstay in TV Go Home by Brooker iirc.
Such a good show! Comedy genius.
+ 1 million for Nathan Barley. A masterpiece.
The Lord Of The Flies on a train story is my favorite thing "They Day Today" ever did. Beautifully surreal.
‘Clinton welcomed home after machine gunning 400 buffalo’😮 my favourite single line from all six episodes. 😂
Darkplace, Toast of London, and Spaced are the shows of love to see most! But at least Spaced should be with QB :)
this is some of the finest British TV.
If you search for you will see just how perfect Chris was
Fact me til I fart is a reference to an urban legend about a famous newsreader who allegedly had a quick 'liaison' with a crew member but left her mic on and everyone else heard her moan ''f**k me til I fart'. It was also used as a joke in the excellent sitcom Drop the Dead Donkey where the newsreader Sally Smedley had a similar incident.
I expect this show is chock full of media industry “in jokes” that are lost on most people, not least me.
The real presenter being a certain Ms. Blue Clawley?
There was a cassette tape recording of that. I heard it back in the 80’s ( courtesy of a tv presenter whom I shall not name).
I still say ‘now fact me ‘till my fart regularly
NGL, I had a liaison with a girl in a car park late one Saturday and she had a stutter… was the most hilarious shag I’ve ever had.
I'm sure you noticed the bit "The Office" is similar to the later Ricky Gervais show. It even used a similar font in the titles. And it's set in Windsor, neighbouring town to Slough, where Gervais' show is set. Surely not coincidences.
Brass eye definitely!!!!!💯
Chris Morris's Jam is such a dark humoured show
I can remember watching the episode where the pound got stolen on VHS. My mum came in the room and thought it actually happened. I remember her being shocked and asked how that could possibly happen. I just went along with it and let her believe it.
How long until she realised? 😂
@@RenaissanceEarCandy I don't really remember as it was so long ago. I think the next segment probably made her ask what was going on and then I told her what she was watching.
The Ted Maul character really hits his stride in "Brass Eye". 👍
Very special series and now rightly lauded. We should preserve these as long as possible. Brilliant.
When you finished The Day Today, you should try Brass Eye, a hilarious take on late night news shows, also by Chris Morris.
Even more outrageous.
Bill O’Reilly had his “fuck it, well do it live” which has a similar vibe.
The Jam comments is because he mentioned Robertsons who made our Jam, and Gollys used to be on the jam jars, you could send off for Golly badges too
I had the cowboy golly.
@@matthewclarke4127 ive got loads that were mi Dads (R.I.P), cant remember which off the top of mi head tbh
Chris Morris walking off the show is a reversal and parody of John Nott MP walking out of an interview with Robin Day (1982). It's on youube.
As for hosts walking off, the most recent was Peirs Morgan a year or so ago, never to return. All because the weatherman criticised his attitude to Megan Markle.
So glad you’re enjoying this… it’s up there with the Pythons For quotability and rejuvenating British comedy.
Well done on the 100k!!

David Schneider was a Judo Instructor in mr bean episode back to school also 🤔

I thought it was Hardy too.
Peter O'hanrahanrahan lying in Detroit😂
I strongly suspect that Morris is a fan of JG Ballard, the one about the commuters devolving into savagery is basically Highrise on a train.
In one of the more subtle jokes in this episode, it's hilarious that the Russian children were handed plutonium waste parcels with the message to 'take this home and deal with it'.
The singing group 'The Bee Gees' famously walked off an interview with Clive Anderson, on his chat show, when they didn't like the questions. And, back during the Falklands conflict in the 80s, a government Defence spokesman pulled off his microphone and stalked off during an interview.
The interviewer storming off is a new slant.
It was Robin Day calling John Nott a here today and gone tomorrow politician. Nott stormed off, maybe forgetting that it was a live broadcast.
Bee Gees vs Clive Anderson was years after The Day Today. 1998, I think
@@mooncalf3130 yes, The Day Today was early 1994, and the 'Bee Gees incident' was 1997, so the show was really ahead of its time.
I'm no fan of the Bee Gees but Clive did call them tossers :D I think they were justified, in that instance
The Office before The Office.
32:52 Turner and George, Clerkenwell!
you'll lose your shit when you watch Brass Eye
If I ever win big on the lotto I'm going to invite you both to the UK....my treat.
An invite from the Knight of Doom? I'm sure they'll bite your hand off!
"Now, fact me til I fart" had me in absolute stitches.
Now you’ve made me watch/listen to the 9/11 audio of POH’O-H’OH’Han that’s on TH-cam. Absolute madness
I love that last football result.
..."CANNOT BE STOPPED."
Running out shouting "Ive got the Mirror" in a role reversal of Prtridge running out on him shouting "Ive got cheese". This universe goes deep!
The Partridge Judo sketch is a (wisely) rewritten Sumo segment from the radio precursor 'On The Hour'. (It was complete with David Schneider doing a Japanese accent 😬😅)
06:07 Adam Neals? That was close!

Part of me is always sad that they didn’t make more but at least it never got to turn into something shite x
Since you love his name so much, I recommend Armando Ianucci's own show - only one series, but I always liked it.
I only saw The Friday Night Armistice, with Armando, Peter Baynham & the weather guy from The Day Today, David Schneider.
Armando also produced other shows like Veep & The Thick Of It & a movie called The Death of Stalin which is hilarious.
It's worth checking out the full version of The Office sketch. Think it's about 20 mins long. I've been quoting Armitage Shanks Interface Defecation Scenario for years.
Brass eye too was epic 😂
I am not sure if I should try and explain that golly comment Robertson's Jam can't use that logo now it's not very PC.
Don’t wait two months for brass eye. Do it now before you get addicted to cake.
If anyone offers you cake, just tell them to f*%k off!
Brasseye is even better than The Day Today.
Is that the one with the Pedo episode?.
@@theknightofdoom260 yes, but that was the special one off episode in 2000.
If The Day Today is the news on acid, Brass Eye is The Day Today on Acid.
Chris Morris from the IT Crowd. Doon Mackichan from Plebs and Smack the Pony
I think Norman Tebbit walked out on an interview - it's not usual for the interviewer to storm out of his own interview lol
It was John Nott who walked out of an interview
@@johnloony68 You are correct
Jill Morrell as a football team? She was famous for campaigning on behalf of John McCarthy who was a hostage in Lebanon. Love spotting things like that.
I'm pretty sure the "confession" video in the skit about the two boys and The Vatican was meant to be a parody of the video of the two RAF pilots who got captured during the Gulf War.

The most shocking part is it's 30 years old since it ended broadcast. Surprised how good the CGI was even back then !.
Defence secretary Sir John Nott walked off during a BBC interview after Sir Robin Day called him a "Here today - gone tomorrow politician " in 1982.
... also, there's Chris Morris's splendid : Blue Jam tv comedy sketch show .. a sketch show of dark, surreal, horror, often disturbing and melancholy, comedy.
Thanks kb, glad you enjoyed it. Hope you get over to see Hadrians Wall sometime. It’s great.
It’s a little limp-wristed by now.

Boomer - Blue Jam your pants off
arrested for copying dogs
Brass eye and Garth mehrengies dark place....the greatest
First Alan to watch is definitely the Knowing Me Knowing You chat show.
28:24 I wondermif those were genuinely random vox pops, or actors
Brass Eye has two key episodes. Nonc sense and Cake.
Pedogeddon was my favourite 😂😂😂😂😂
I always piss myself over Partridge's hairstyle.
One last bit of The Day Today for you, have a look for their September 11th radio clip
You have to listen the small audio bit where Peter O’Hanraohanrahan reports to Morris on Sept 11 2001
Ohh f@£mk off that is the best comedy line that I have ever heard, What is a gay? That proper classic..,Man the gay report creased me up but I was downed by the, 'we would never employ a homosexual line❤❤❤
Haidrians wall not actually that interesting. It just looks like any other stone wall seperating fields full of gays.
How dare you!! We have the best gay fields around! The Romans invented gayness! (Or was it the Greeks?)
If naivety is without wisdom, nJaques-'Jaques' Liverot is without. :-D
You need to watch the odd couple videos of Mel b and pasty kensit from bo selecta 😂😂😂😂😂 honestly some of the funniest clips I've ever seen 🤣🤣🤣🤣
i prefer brass eye but both of them are well funny
23:14 "Can you imagine ten Japan's?" - 👁👄👁

The closest US equivalent to The Day Today is The Onion, not a show as such but they do do video clips:

Where is the Chopper of Doom? I thought it was in this episode...
Look up John Shuttleworth, please!
Yeah the fact the other shows have more of a go at one political party or certain people more so than others what made this great is its taking the piss out of everyone and being hilarious with it
Love that t shirt.
You MUST do Brass Eye eventually
Brass eye is the day today on steroids my friend
Bernard Manning warns against Cake...
