I just watched this again for the first time in a year. Morris is an absolute genius, how he can create humour mixed with absoulte tragedy is incredible. SOundtrack fits the sketches perfectly. Totally different from The Day Today, but Brass Eye definetely showed his darker side, then of course Jam. I watched it stoned last night and it was hilarious at times and deeply disturbing, The show in my opinion is way ahead of its time. I cant wait to see him back on telly at the end of the year |

His blend of fantasmagoric surrealist humour with "reality" is fantastic |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fantasmagoric is that a real word? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's like real life, only a bit funnier and a bit sadder at the same time. |
||||||||
|

Shut up you spherical cow! |

.. lets (next time we are bored) post on forums about completly outrages things that could never happen but try to back it up. you get points for every believer who replys and a score out of 10 for outragousness! |

yes, fantasmagoric is a real word -- tho it might start with a ph |
||||||||

oh mark thomas. he went down the wrong road - less comedy and more political awareness. shame really, he was a really funny guy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like him i wish he was prime minister |
||||||||
|

Fuck that's good news! I agree, I think Morris is ahead of his time. Check out and spend some time reading the 'Richard Geefe' columns. They are written by his 'suicide journalist' character... the one from the Blue Jam CD. Very very witty but dark as fuck, they left me feeling very odd. |
||||||||

much like, what's his face, Rob Newman. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
probably my favourite comedian ever. he got old and wrote some books. apparently thats what you have to do when you're old. but i still piss myself laughing at the mary whitehouse stuff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I used to enjoy the Mark Thomas Project -- he could be the UK Michael Moore, only funnier and less tubby. |

glad something new is up and about, cant say there was a lot of info on the "new show" though..... they say it will be different apparently! (reply to rudster#01211342) |
||||||||

Eek I never could stand Newman, and his writing is awful. Punt and Dennis are still on Radio 4, keeping it Fo' Real |
||||||||
|

punt & dennis were filler, badiiel & newman were the stars :) |

that bbc link is form last year so it must be talking about jam |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ahh shit wrong one. I cant rememebr were i heard it, but i read bout it a few weeks back |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nah Jam was made a while back |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I really liked him but i don't like the way he is now the anti-comedian. I read his book "Manners" and it was the most depressing, unrewarding torture I have had to misfortune to persevere with. I used to work in a cafe up the Kings Road and Rob Newman came in once with his agent or someone. When i brought their drinks over (in my capacity as waiter) he said something to me and laughed. So he made a special joke for me, but i didn't hear what he said. I felt warm inside though. Though he may well have called me a cunt. |

jam is a preserve of crushed fruit, an informal term for a difficult situation; "he got into a terrible fix"; "he made a muddle of his marriage" ( kettle of fish) or a dense crowd of people or maybe a deliberate radiation or reflection of electromagnetic energy for the purpose of disrupting enemy use of electronic devices or systems. If you dream of eating jam you will suffer embarrassment at the hands of a woman through no fault of your own. If you see a child eating it you will receive a pleasant surprise. You will have a happy home if you dream of making jam. If you dream your hands are all sticky from handling jam you will soon be in a 'jam'. *internet* |

I found these quotes on cookdandbombd.co.uk "Is Brass Eye’s Chris Morris about to cash in on his talents? Morris has been shooting his latest project  a sitcom based in East London  and insiders say it’s the most mainstream thing he’s done. It supposedly revolves around the character of Nathan Barley  a Hoxton-dwelling trustafarian who features on the spoof TV listings website TVGoHome.com  and is due out later this year on Channel 4." - some newspaper "As usual the papers have it wrong. A friend of mine who lives with me in london recently shot a short film and used Morris's costume designer. She has told stories of the crew on Morris's new project holding their heads in their hands whilst shooting because what's being shot is so disturbing." - some guy Wooo I'm looking forward to this now :p |
||||||||

|
|
Disturbing...hmm.. I'd prefer good comedy to be honest. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
a-HA! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i like comedys dark underbelly. i enjoy suckling on the dark pigs teet |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"good comedy" is relative though, no xammax? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like his dark side, it is pretty |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

wounder if simon pegg will ever get round to series three of spaced that'd be kool |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Did you see his Sean of the Dead thing? That was alright. Not great. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
baddiel is more likely to call you a cunt, the smarmy bastard. the last few series of unplanned with wank skinner clearly showed neither of them couild give a flying fuck. but i watch skinners sitcom because david schneider cracks me up something rotten. he doesnt even have to say anything. schneider deserves recognition, one of the ianucci crew who was overshadowed by morris. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the sitcom he did with jim broadbent set in a bank was yet another series which was successfully scrapped the the bbc. they know fucking nothing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes. I suppose I just meant 'satire', his darker stuff like Jam is alright but I'd prefer something more easily digestible. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You watch Shane....? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah its not bad. mostly predictable but thats half the fun. although you can see most of the jokes a mile off, david schneider makes me piss my pants. "and thats all the weather!" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

One is, of course, reminded of Trevor Griffiths' play "The Comedians".. "It's not the jokes. . .it's what lies behind them. A joke that feeds on ignorance starves its audience. We have the choice. We can say something or we can say nothing. Not everything true is funny, and not everything funny is true. Most comics feed prejudice and fear and blinkered vision, but the best ones illuminate them, make them clearer to see, easier to deal with." |

It's that face.. he could be Gareth off-of-The Office's dad. |
