Allot of these comedians have lost their edge unfortunately, didn't find his latest movie that funny which was really sad for me. Political correctness has really destroyed comedy and in afraid effected even the legendary Chris Morris. its hard to point out irony and hypocracy and not get labeled nazi, misogynist, bigot etc.
@@gordonfreeman-g5w Absolutely. You couldn't even get a comedy commissioned nowadays with early Chris Morris type subject matter because the modern day left would have it cancelled before it began. The mainstream media is now entirely far left; but it could still be done via online alternative media possibly.
@@neilsun2521 The other day my sister told me her flat mates had trouble enjoying Brooklyn 99 because they think it's propaganda to make cops look good. That's how far gone people are now 😂
For some reason I always thought Chris Morris was quite a spikey character, almost arrogant in a way? Like interviewing him would be verbal sparring. But I'm so pleasantly surprised, seems like a very sweet guy
He’s excellent on the Stewart Lee interviews as well, on Stewart Lee’s comedy vehicle series 3 and 4. Quite how they both kept a straight face long enough to shoot those sections, I do not know
Really good interview. The informal nature of it and the genuine curiosity of the interviewer helped bring out some truth nuggets from Chris. Good job.
The word 'genius' is a term that is easily thrown around in the modern age. But Christopher Morris is just that... Intelligence on a whole new level. I emplore anybody with an open mind to dark humour, to watch both 'Brasseye' & 'Jam'. They will literally change your view on how comedy can be created & percieved. The god of satirical comedy without a shadow of a doubt.
You should perhaps give Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle a go. Chris Morris was slightly involved in it, but, in my opinion, is neither as funny or as clever as Stewart Lee. All things considered though, Chris Morris has been doing this a long time.
deeyem1991 Admirers of Stewart Lee though, require a degree of snobbery. I realise his character is a joke and even Stewart Lee the person separates himself from the character, but the fanbase often relate to the left wing liberal snobbery almost more than is intended from Lee, despising anyone that doesn't share their own view of high brow culture. Chris Morris is more out and out funny i feel. the reaction chris morris gets from his audience is purely comedic, whereas Lee's is comedic mixed with approval/elitism(obviously depending on the fan in question). Lee's comedy is a little bit hit and miss when it comes to out and out funny. Where he doesn't hit with a joke, he sort of has that reliant haughtiness of the audience to fall back on, meaning not every joke is absolutely funny, but the ones that aren't so much are sort of cleverly wrapped in condescension, getting a positive reaction out of the audience regardless. Don't get me wrong i love Stewart Lee and am a considerable lefty liberal on most issues, but when it gets to the level of idolatry that some fans give him, particularly when described as superior to Chris Morris, the above is the only explanation i can come up with. obviously just my opinion so if you feel i've treated Lee fans unfairly you are quite welcome to disagree
tnucateM i think it would be fair to assume that alot of the people who like lee also like morris and vice versa and i appreciate your point about lees' comedy being mixed with elitism, but i think the general self awareness of a lot of the audiences of both comedians allow them to separate reality and fiction and are aware that lees' persona is presumably fictitious even if the bent tends to be a generally liberal perspective, i definitely think that the favoritism arrives from the sort of social pariah character that Lee presents twinned with the fact it's easier to like someone who is more in the public eye and Stewart Lee has definitely been on tv abit more than Chris Morris.
AdamTerror i'm sure the audience are aware of stewart lee's stage persona being a character but they still idolise him subconciously then. I mean look at the btl guardian comments after every stewart lee article, its filled with elitist idiots going 'you see the reference he made there to that story last week about that politican, to not enjoy this you'd have to be a fucking idiot who isn't cultured enough to understand the references' etc etc. And i think the social pariah character he depicts as being jealous and bitter towards the well known comedians is ruined, he's admitted himself, by the fact that he's pretty famous now. It's quite funny actually, his persona started off as an unknown being angry at other comedians being on tele and now that he's on tele he's had to begrudgingly change tack
totally agree, jam's like nothing else. and i love stewart lee but i'd never call him a genius. he's skilled at his job, that's all. there are plenty of skilled people
This man. He truly is a satirical comedy genius. I like that he only surfaces occasionally. His quality control must be very high. As an aside, he’s also ageing incredibly well.
The interviewer is pointing out the most obvious traits of British humour! The looks Morris gives him are gold! I think British humour/comedy is unique and should be cherished. Like a joke only you and your friends 'get' You always get that one person over analysing it! To the amusement of you and your peers.
Armando Ianucci, Christopher Morris and Charlie Brooker - 3 men who have created their own realms of "comedy" maybe in 50 years time others will catch up with them.
But this film DOES kill terrorism, because it shows the truth - that terrorists ARE this stupid. More of this sort of film will destroy the impulses that terrorism arises out of, because people won't want to be associated with the level of stupidity that's involved.
i once haad a dream with chris morris on a sidewalk and he was fucking loco, but he told me of certain cool things to do... around australia time, I only got it now, like 2-3 yrs ago. so i think he is important to how the world will turn out eventuatlly, but his gotta tone down and take everything chill... bro I swear I saw you in my dreams lecturing me.
also I wish I could have taken the joooooooker (I met him in samesung, but I didn't know who he was)and never let him go untill someone who felt like that came around.... but I was runing after jackie, and i dint know at those superheroes names, including dave chgappel who playued chees with me and I let him win, he was angry about that, in cambie but at that tim,e they just mixed with me as a friend, and thus were soo cool in their own way
so hehad a story and keeanu too had a story in which he was lke ed you can do it but it wont be cool, she has afamily now respedt that, that would be so cool.. ya ya, right?
and after chasing after jackie. the girl at samesun whoese name starts with a K who kissed ,me and tried to rape me on that boat, perfect fighure, so cool, but I was after jackie, then connie, who literally came to my room and slept in my bed like I told you before I am gonna fuck yuo. but dana was like he's a ,marked man, and she was gone. the the girl who feell in front of me at the rail road, when I went to walk at a shaddy company, I wrote her a poem and easterns girs were like hes fucking cool, then there was that surfing rock and roll girl who walked past ne then turned and was like about to rape me, but I was like another way handwave....so I had many girls but they would be taken away in a day or two, .... like he's a makred man etc... otherwise the girls I met, I would have like 50 kids with em each. how dare you love me? am not letting you go, i remember you forever....
Two times Chris takes the cup with his left hand, and I think, 'of course, he's left-handed'. Next he takes the cup two times with his right hand, and I think, 'of course...'
Watching his eyes as the nasally guy speaks questions becomes wonderful. He almost becomes more than either side - interviewer, interviewee. He almost becomes Peter. His paranoia is eternal. For this alone I forgive the Devil. I never have forgiven the Father. Rather, I ate him. Please forgive me, Devil. If you don't, you've got a pair, I bless you.
Morris hasn't done anything since being the script editor for Stewart Lee's show. Maybe he's been hard at work making sure everyone gets to know each other?
It'll be a shame if he remains in the wilderness. Perhaps he burnt himself out in the 90s. Although Four Lions was pretty good for the most part, it didn't feel as fresh or as hard-hitting as his earlier TV work. Perhaps the modern world doesn't lend itself to exaggerated satire any more, which was his incredible strength in the past.
he does think that bombs are funny if your familiar with his work laughing at bombs is his thing he should just be blunt about it and say hey I think bombs are funny fuck what people think that's why he is genius
the way this interview is shot makes it look like a hidden camera expose from a documentary about child trafficking.
