It’s so perfectly delivered! Also, I remember reading the first Alan Partridge audio book on the NYC subway and laughing so hard I had to actually get off the train 😂
Him saying "I remember it quite clearly" before going on to explain in detail the "incident with the bird" isn't a punch line, but it still does a good job of enhancing the image of how "If that's what he remembers quite clearly, how boring were the other nights"
I heard Chris Morris specifically made a half hour documentary called "The Pool" as if it were a stand alone entity and then took out specific sections for "The Day Today" its something to do with the way he works. There's a clip of him somewhere in disguise as an audience member on a genuine daytime talk show were he gets sussed and they confront him.
@Malevax ...it's a quick flash of another scene from the Day Today, a spoof soap opera called "The Bureau" set in a Bureau De Change.... good spot though, I wouldn't have clocked it ,
Yeah you're right. If you watch the full clip "A day at the swimming pool," which is on here too, you can see that the uploader pieced this together from a couple different clips.
I tried to put that on my performance objectives at work. For the safety objective, I get top score if no-one dies, I get a lower score if someone dies!!!
Whaaat? They are both excellent but fundamentally incomparable. Cook is a legend, Coogan is at best a protégé. Cook influenced Morris, Ianucci et al. They begat Coogan.
They hire someone to be at the pool 24 hours a day? In 17 years of word puzzles, one incident of a pigeon breaking in and on another occasion an illicit party. Oh yes, and one death despite his presence. Now that's real value for the money they pay this guy!
It looks like Rebecca Front and Doon Mackichan, probably from another segment of "The Pool". God knows what it's doing there though. I don't remember it being on the DVD.
You missed the joke! Cut it off in the middle of it - that despite the boringness of "no-one died", when he says he could go on, the interviewer implies that he should .. and so he carries on to fadeout.
If they are the sort of humourless, offence-taking sort of people who would "no platform" a visiting speaker for holding different (but not extreme) views that they don't agree with...? ;-) I mean, I could go on...
this whole video is hilarious but one part bothers me. can someone tell me what he says at 0:26 ? sounds like fucking about? but im sure he means flapping about.
In Steve Coogan's book, he says he saw the cameraman shaking with laughter at this and was one of his proudest moments
It’s so perfectly delivered!

@@iwouldprefernotto4381similar thing happened to me when I was reading it and had to walk out of the funeral.
"I mean I could go on". Genius.
in 1982, there was the incident with the pigeon
That's my birth year! FUCCCKKKKKK!!!
I think my favourite segment of the entire series. And that’s really saying something because The Day Today is legendary.
I had already seen this before, but "In 1982... there was the incident with the.. pigeon" made me laugh out loud 😅
Steve Cogan's characterisation and Armando ianucci / Peter Bayman's creativity = timeless humour
The Day Today is genius, Chris Morris is genious, 90s satire, spoof and parody was genious, but most of all Steve Coogan is a genious!
Absolute genious! Complete Genious! Genious, Genious, Genious!
Steve Coogan's greatest moment in my eyes!
1:34 pretty sure that’s Iannucci asking the question in the background
Him saying "I remember it quite clearly" before going on to explain in detail the "incident with the bird" isn't a punch line, but it still does a good job of enhancing the image of how "If that's what he remembers quite clearly, how boring were the other nights"
This is - no pun intended - a deep dive...
I'd love to see Coogan revive this character.
He sort of did in the Coogan's Run episode The curator.
In 1980. Someone died.
John Lennon.
The wonderful Armando Iannucci interviewing 😂
One of the most memorable parts of The Day Today
I bloody love this!
Can't believe that it's 17 years old.
Anyone ever heard England World Cup winner Martin Peters speak?
It's EXACTLY like this. :-D
@DoctorBoosh It's now 27 years old. You're welcome. :D
I can’t believe that your comment saying this is 17 years old is 10 years old.
@@markofsaltburn I can't believe it's not butter.
@@nelsonhibbert5267 Neither can I.
this video was now uploaded 17 years ago wow
Armando Ianucci as the interviewer...
Excellent could watch over and over.The womens dressing room Sir Danzig sketch is brill too.
Everyone remembers the no one died bit, but I click on this whenever it comes up mostly for the way he says eventually someone was killed.
"I was engaged in a particularly tricky word puzzle..."
Oh, well that's okay then. All is forgiven.
Not sure why, but this is an absolutely classic bit of comedy.
This is amazing... I mean, I could go on...
No
Talk about dead pan comedy gold! Steve's come a long, long way now!
Commotion up in the rafters

Bernard Evans any idea of the source of this take ?
It's on 'The Time, The Place' (80's morning chat show)
th-cam.com/video/vEw52NbOMis/w-d-xo.html
"I found a woman's swimming costume which I put on and paraded around singing a song, Joan Baez protest song"
0:42 This is made 100 times funnier when you imagine him in the swimming costume at 3am singing "We shall Overcome" by Joan Baez 😂
@Malevax ...it's a quick flash of another scene from the Day Today, a spoof soap opera called "The Bureau" set in a Bureau De Change.... good spot though, I wouldn't have clocked it
,
Utter genius. Chris morris.
"no".
"right".
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
is he still working there?
In 1982, there was the incident with a pigeon.
He sounds like E L Wistey. What an exciting job, where do I apply?
"I mean, I could go on."
"No."
"Right."
😂
"This totally sounds like something form a Mighty Boosh performance! XD" yeh except 10 yrs earlier and about 12x funnier

Absolute comedy genius
@HolyFrell Exactly! Yes, I too think of this every time I see the opening sequence.
peter cook stare "..in 1982..."
Yes, now you mention it. Coogan is really the new Cook.
Whaaat? They are both excellent but fundamentally incomparable. Cook is a legend, Coogan is at best a protégé. Cook influenced Morris, Ianucci et al. They begat Coogan.
1:24 heavy petting, (per chance) ?
Pure, pure genius. Steve Coogan's non-Partridge finest hour?
He did a similar character in Steve Coogan Presents
i bet he never had a CRB check
Why does he sound eerily like Sir Keir Starmer?
@boscombefun Joan BAEZ.....she was a protest singer in the 60's/......lol
10 people died.
i can't pause it fast enough i've been trying for minutes! can u screenshot again for us??? and well spotted man!
I would, but I'm currently engaged in a particularly difficult word puzzle
@@SuperBartles you've been on with it for 7 years Harry come on pull yourself together

are you levelling all those allegations at Herman the Tosser?
Ah Acton swimming pool. Sadly now closed.
vymmas too many blacks
probably from the pigeon
the book brought me too!

@HolyFrell Heh! I was also reminded of this when I saw the trailer for the new series!
genius!
The Rafters.
On amazon - The Day Today Complete BBC Series 1994
Since this was filmed in the 90s no one has died....ever
Brilliant
- The Bush Administration.
1:46 😂
Managed to get the screenshot! i.imgur.com/8ESWDpk.jpg
I've been trying to do that unsuccessfully. Thanks.
his name is Keith Madman lol
It's really bugging me now!
yep
In nineteen seventh niiiine...no one died
Whats that subliminal image at 1:04?
David Squires sent me here, via my mate Martin!
Ah 'The Day Today'. That's Friday nights viewing sorted.
This is a comment.
You missed the joke! Cut it off in the middle of it - that despite the boringness of "no-one died", when he says he could go on, the interviewer implies that he should .. and so he carries on to fadeout.
Except the interviewer doesn't imply that he should carry on and so he stops before fade-out.
So why do we clearly hear the interviewer saying no when he says I could go on.
@gerrad1973 - yeah i know - why are you telling me that?
He would have been great in Coogan's Run - way better than the curator Tim Fleck
not one, but three medieval wool forks.
Eventually someone was killed 😂
In 1979 no-one died
Is that Tom Hardy?
i mean i could go on
@jessjames1000
joan rivers singing protest songs, now that would be worth hearing - ha ha. ;)
How can 24 people dislike this..?
If they are the sort of humourless, offence-taking sort of people who would "no platform" a visiting speaker for holding different (but not extreme) views that they don't agree with...? ;-)
I mean, I could go on...
relatives of the someone who died

classic.
1:49is where a torrent of uncontrollable tears arrive. Ace.

I AM GAY
THIS MAN SEEMS PARTICULARLY distutrbed in 197ninnnnnnnnnnnnnne no one died, he 's a bacon for def

They continued to employ him after the death, and then after the incident with the pigeon.
