Armando Ianucci was executive producer for Day Today,alan partdridge. He had a show called the Armando Ianucci shows which was on a while back on channel 4, this was absolute class |

Chris Morris, to some people a comedy genius, to others an unfunny twat. I just think he's funny. |

the pizza delivery man being arrested for impersonating a chelsea pensioner is hilarious. he seems confused how they found evidence to convict him including his blood all over policemens boots and fists, and his fingerprints were found all over his hands |

You only find him mildly amusing? That's because you swallow all the tabloid guff that Morris lampoons. The joke's not funny when its on you is it? |

Apparently he's a comedian but I thought the whole point of comedy was to make you laugh |

The term 'comedian' is too narrow to encapsulate what he does. Jim Davidson he ain't. |

How about "entertainer"? When all's said and done, I'd rather watch Freddie Starr on permanent repeat. |

What jokes on me?...I don't see you anywhere near me never mind on me. I find a lot of Chris Morris' stuff short on inspiration. It's nothing your average university circuit comedian doesn't come out with, he just happened to get his break in the media. A lot of the humour is derived from shock tactics rather than geniune irony or wit. If you are not easily shocked then it's not going to be as funny. Personally I think Paul Merton is a lot more funny than Chris Morris in terms of political satire. |

"I find a lot of Chris Morris' stuff short on inspiration. It's nothing your average university circuit comedian doesn't come out with, he just happened to get his break in the media." stop talking bollocks. He got his "break" in the media by working hard at it, and taking the piss out of it for so long (about 10 years) - that they fucking had to take notice.. "A lot of the humour is derived from shock tactics rather than geniune irony or wit. If you are not easily shocked then it's not going to be as funny." More bollocks. Not only is Morris' comedy soaked with irony, theres always more than one level of it...he has always stated that his jokes have to be funny on there own aswell if the irony dosen't work..something which Paul Merton can't do. Merton also can't assemble a jumbled up weather report with Burroughs-esque cut-up lyricism with complete babble and make it funny - not intentionally either..it just is. To say Morris isn't witty, is like saying Thatcher was a saint. "Personally I think Paul Merton is a lot more funny than Chris Morris in terms of political satire." The problem with today's 'satire' is that it sets up an 'us against them' opposition, in which we snicker with the satirist at a host of immovable, indifferent caricatures. Most of our most prominent satirists are of the same generation, background and ideology of the ruling classes, and their humour has the flavour of locker-room ribbing rather than devastating anger. Most satire consists of an audience talking to itself, reassuring itself of its own worth, its own values against targets so clearly ridiculous they don't really exist. It is satire as easy listening, as reassuring as old socks. The reason many people don't like Chris Morris is not because of the 'taboo' subject matter he tackles, but because he doesn't play fair, he doesn't play cricket. He never allows the audience the comfort of complacent complicity. if we sneer at another hapless cele |

if we sneer at another hapless celebrity duped into piously anguishing over some preposterous non-issue in an obscene public gesture of their own ethical value and depth, we are stating that we are truly 'authentic', that we would never be caught out, that our values are sound. And then Morris will insert a crass joke that strips away the warm cloak of lazy irony - an imitation of the author of 'A Brief History of Time', for instance - that repels us, shakes us out of a cosy 'us vs them' mentality, forcing us to face up to the complexity of what we're watching, or - shock, horror! - think for ourselves. so fuck up about Paul Merton - Chris Morris is a genius. |

well it is incumbent that todays diatribe is circulated by the reasoning of which things are pre-determined, but only in detail. Ego, the situation becomes erradicated vis a vis insipid after-taste. One must concur thus forth that pretentios twatius is apparent, won't one not? Well resultantly, the crisps are crispy. |

took the time to read your post + agree with you by + large. and ecnadniarb, im not easily shocked at all.. thats not where the humour lies in morris' work. and when you ask komakino what he studied at university, you ask as though it was some kind of slur on his character. if academic study or areas of interest enrich someone's personal experience of comedy then so what? complicity + understanding of subject matter is the root of most comedy. people brought up in or around the jewish faith appreciate jewish jokes better. same with the asian community. to underdstand the class-based jokes that peter cook did both with + without beyond the fringe you have to have at least a vague grasp of the british class system. its not about snobbery or intellectualism. comedy (like music or film) doesnt just have to appeal to the lowest common denominator. if all comedy is universal, you lose the beauty of detail. |
