He realised with brass eye television was going to be impossible for his brilliance and the PC brigade will have made his life hell-i'd love to see him back tho ripping both sides cos political comedy now is so one sided.
Oh after he said and saw all aldready in 90 jam the ep of cable guy with the tv spreading lizard was 30 years before all was seen by those wakin now and i was a little strange girl lookin he must flew in usa only for a thing today all use pedorings and celebrities flagged as pedos c mon ..

Shh, what about now after Chinese batflu plague and on the brink of thermonuclear vaporisation! You don't appreciate a quiet life when it's happening ? Peace ✌
@@MantisEnergy Oh he's far better than that Jonathan. Met him once, outside the Pinter theatre. Polite, interesting, chatty. In fact an utterly top bloke.
Excellent lampoon by Chris Morris and congrats to the host for taking it well and handling the situation professionally despite having Chris rip the shit out of his show in a manner and style only he could do.
Our ancestors were so enchanted by breasts, they built giant monuments to them, what we today call hills. Britain today would be flat if it were not for this fixation.
"The Time, The Place" was the mid morning talk show on ITV. It usually aired live at 10.00am weekdays and would come from different parts of the UK each week, but most of the time it was either London, Norwich or Nottingham. I remember it as a kid, when I was on school holidays during the early 1990s. It lasted from 1987-1998.
Genius thanks so much. I laughed so much. The line where he asked why he'd changed the colour of his hair in reference to Kilroy. Brilliant. I've met him and I was off my face. I asked for his autograph and he totally 'Morris'd' me by making me wait while he scratched a name on a peice of paper with his hotel room key. I just thought he was being nice cos there was no pen. I then sobered up and realised he was totally taking the piss. I feel so honoured!
To be fair, it's extremely likely that Chris Morris had already come up with the Peter Davis pseudonym and character backstory, just in case the producers noticed that it was Chris Morris sat in the audience, spouting humorous nonsense.
I brought this up at one of the Brass Eye: Oxide Ghosts shows, and the director confirmed that Morris was doing this for Brass Eye. He didn't use any of the footage on the show because he got rumbled, as you'll see at the end.
C S5 oh yeah, lots. There was some extremely funny material that would have been far too rude to put on the show. It was a few years ago, so my memory’s a bit blank. There was footage of the elephant shitting on the studio floor Blue Peter-style and Morris immediately quips “did I press the wrong button?”, making the whole crew laugh. Which is a side of himself he never usually reveals. A shame, really.
C S5 oh, and Morris remained in character the entire time he was at the studios for The Time The Place. So this scene where he stormed out of the studio continued all the way out into the car park and beyond.
@@Jamesharveycomics haha brilliant. I actually saw this when it went out. I had a really bad hangover and half thought I might be hallucinating it. I'm gutted the oxide ghosts thing is not coming out on dvd/blu ray/youtube etc....
Are you the James Harvey who did that hugely formatted comic about radical plastic surgery?! That was fantastic, I still have the first printing! Beautiful, beautiful artwork.
Chris Morris has been away for a while... He needs to get on the Jeremy Kyle show as an alcoholic father who screwed his daughter's goldfish and give him hell!
I remember when this happened. Chris Morris is and has always been so unappreciated despite being one of the funniest and smartest comedians in the UK. Armando Ianucci and Stewart Lee are in the same league.
The guy got an MP to ask a parliamentary question about a completely fictional drug. Parliament promised to monitor this fictional drug and if necessary, ban it. It's all in parliamentary records. Chris Morris, quite simply, deserves a knighthood.
It had an early-morning repeat the next day. Judging by a few threads on Cook'd And Bomb'd, a fair few Chris Morris fans saw this live and were very much delighted / mortified.
When I was at University at St Mary's in Twickenham from 1989-1993 the nearby studios where they filmed this used to offer us students £10 to turn up when they were short of a studio audience. I can assure you, we always enjoyed the day (and the bit of beer money that went with it) and being on TV almost daily...and our comments were almost as cheeky as Chris Morris's....
I would have payed a fortune to be in the audience that day! Would of taken all my dvd's to get signed and been a total fan boy! Chris at his best here!
This is the greatest comedian of all time. It is testimony of the sheer stupidity of most people's lives. The fact that Cohen and Brand are more famous is an absolute outrage. Bow to the master, form and hype are temporary class is permanent.
Yeh, Stapleton tried to play the bigger man, but Morris played his joker. Its easy to stand there as the presenter with the power and familiar audience support, but Morris delivers a personal jibe that breaks through Stapleton's shallow facade. Indeed I think Stapleton's face drops at that very moment
Chris Morris "...in the times of Roman Britain the Italian ladies, those who could afford it, used to ship themselves to this country to be serviced by the Saxons..." John Staplefod...'Is that true?'
He´s my hero man! Chris Morris is up there with the whole Monty Python crew! Fucking genius! He´s managed to criticise the media as a whole in the most powerfull way possible and yet people still see him as just a sick bastard. Comprehensible, but just not fair.. I hope they let you do more great stuff Chris!! Abraços from Brazil!
@Dungarth even though Steve Coogan was doing work on 'Spitting Image' in the 80's? And him an Chris Morris worked together on radio shows in the very early 90's?! So not before him, but around the same time. I agree with the rest of your comment though of course!
I always have the feeling that Chris Morris' genius has been underused over the years. We need it now more than ever...
we have /pol/ its all the shitposting you'll ever need.
He realised with brass eye television was going to be impossible for his brilliance and the PC brigade will have made his life hell-i'd love to see him back tho ripping both sides cos political comedy now is so one sided.
Life would be boring without him and he knows it!!!!
Oh after he said and saw all aldready in 90 jam the ep of cable guy with the tv spreading lizard was 30 years before all was seen by those wakin now and i was a little strange girl lookin he must flew in usa only for a thing today all use pedorings and celebrities flagged as pedos c mon ..

You don't appreciate a quiet life when it's happening ? Peace ✌
"And you've changed the colour of your hair. Why is it not white anymore?" lmao!!
The way he stayed in character and completely ad-libbed the last part is genius
"A large four legged breast...and they were scared by it." Comic gold.
lol
"What happened to your hair? Why is it not white anymore?" is my personal favourite part
The legend Chris Morris.
sitting there trolling their show with serious straight face like a legend he is
When Chris Morris opens a Troll School, I'm there.
Indeed! Chris was doing trolling long before trolling was even a concept of annoying people!!
And he did it in person!
Then we got sacha baron cohen that just went slightly insane with it, obviously influence by chris morris
Chris Morris for PM.
@@MantisEnergy Oh he's far better than that Jonathan. Met him once, outside the Pinter theatre. Polite, interesting, chatty.
In fact an utterly top bloke.
JS: Christopher Morris. Does that ring a bell?
CM: No.
Where is he now? There is nobody who can touch Chris Morris. Brasseye and The Day Today still crack me up now. Never seen this before. Brilliant.

What a legend. He is a master of keeping a straight face.
Chris Morris is a British treasure. Oh, and there weren't any Saxons in what is now GB when the Romans were here, rather, Celts.
Part of the joke I think.
Please come back Chris.
I have no idea why he doesn't appear in his own films, he's a sublime actor
Brilliance, as one would expect from a comedy genius.
I saw this when it aired. It was very freaky and funny at the time. I was a big fan then as well. Really cool.
Thank you Peter Baxendale Thomas.
The talentless hack was pretty cool. Morris is a bit of a god.
Can't belive I'd never seen this before. This is a gem.
Genius thanks so much. I laughed so much. The line where he asked why he'd changed the colour of his hair in reference to Kilroy. Brilliant. I've met him and I was off my face.

A troll before troll was even common knowledge.
Supercharged 💚😂
Lol do you think people didn't play pranks before the internet?
2:25 notice how quick he just thinks up the Peter Davis story
To be fair, it's extremely likely that Chris Morris had already come up with the Peter Davis pseudonym and character backstory, just in case the producers noticed that it was Chris Morris sat in the audience, spouting humorous nonsense.
@@Right_Said_Brett I’d agree with that, not to say he isn’t quick!
I brought this up at one of the Brass Eye: Oxide Ghosts shows, and the director confirmed that Morris was doing this for Brass Eye. He didn't use any of the footage on the show because he got rumbled, as you'll see at the end.
interesting. any other nice bits of info from those oxide thingys?

Man, seeing this really made me realize how on-point the brass eye episode with this format was.
I swear he calls him a lucky bastard at the end.
dragonjohn34 yeah I think he does to
Did he make all that up? I admit I was convinced in parts
chris morris is a legend no question about it
Love the way Morris can hook a few people with a popular opinion then turn the screw as much as possible. Class act.
Chris Morris: Fearless.
THE BALLS!
Correct. I'd never seen this before. He's as good a performance artist as he is an actor or writer. Everything he does is pure class
Chris Morris has been away for a while... He needs to get on the Jeremy Kyle show as an alcoholic father who screwed his daughter's goldfish and give him hell!
Mr Reynholm before he run Reynholm Industries
faaaaaatheer!!!
@@henrikpersson4698 speak pRRRiest
I remember when this happened. Chris Morris is and has always been so unappreciated despite being one of the funniest and smartest comedians in the UK. Armando Ianucci and Stewart Lee are in the same league.
No, they really aren't. Armando has different, huge skills. Lee is a little overrated imo.
Wholeheartedly agree gazza, Armando is brilliant but different and Lee is nowhere near the level of Morris. Crazy to mention them in the same breath.
@@jockmackay9582 It wasn't mentioned in the Same Breath it was a Written Comment.
@@UnbelievableEricthegiraffe metaphorically speaking you dimwit
"Incolae praiapae"
Morris is a master of comedic guerilla warfare.
The Time, The Place was ITV's challenger to the BBC's Kilroy during its ten years on the air, and both shows were less extreme than Jeremy Kyle.
What an utter, utter legend!!
Hahaha he pretends that he thinks Stapleton is Kilroy-Silk with the white hair comment at the end
I think Morris managed to find the receipts for Just for Men in Stapleton's bin
The guy got an MP to ask a parliamentary question about a completely fictional drug. Parliament promised to monitor this fictional drug and if necessary, ban it. It's all in parliamentary records. Chris Morris, quite simply, deserves a knighthood.
Absolutely love it.
when he says men are frightened of women with brains the woman at the back goes ABSOLUTELY. :)) Genius
Stapleton actually deals with this well.
Morris was getting aggressive and he stayed polite and moved the show forward like a gent.
It had an early-morning repeat the next day. Judging by a few threads on Cook'd And Bomb'd, a fair few Chris Morris fans saw this live and were very much delighted / mortified.
The thought of a world without Chris scares me.
only time i've seen Chris get busted. Handled it well and never let it happen again. At least he never let it get broadcast.
Nathan Barley is the funniest thing ever... there I've said it. This clip is also brilliant. I wish I had Chris Morris's straight face to pull it off.
Yeah I like Nathan barley, it's alright
"This is getting very profound."
u the man morris,,true comedy legend,,probs the best ever,,genius
A brilliant performance - best enjoyed with a piping hot bowl of invisible lead soup.

i love you chris
I think many Morris fans have felt like this.. "Actually what's counterintuitive and interesting about that is. "
"NURRRR HAHAA"
He is our leader
So ahead of his time..
i love chris morris
"what d'you make of that" I love this genius, wish he did more of his own stuff.
"The story of the MINE-otaur." Classic Chris pronunciations.
Ah Morris, what a bloke. Hilarious. Met him and had quite a chat: courteous, clever and genuine. (When not mucking about, as here).
Chris Morris "...in the times of Roman Britain the Italian ladies, those who could afford it, used to ship themselves to this country to be serviced by the Saxons..."
John Staplefod...'Is that true?'
I actually don't think it's possible to not adore this guy. He's fucking hilarious, everything he's done has been side-splittingly funny.
unflinching....fantastic.
Chris Morris is a sonic youth fan... WIN
saw this live when i was just aboy
Jesus here he goes again. Good on him.
I love they way he is talkin total shyte. Chris Morris is a genius
I'm sure it's "You LANKY Welshman", but I can't be sure.
He doesn't even smirk. What a guy.
The man is a legend! hes releasing a movie about suicidebomber training camps!!cant wait for it!
Am I the only one who enjoyed The IT Crowd? Richard Ayoade creases me up
Ladies & Gentlemen,You have just watched the art of Bullsh*t.Chris Morris is a comedy god.
He's a genius!! Got to love Chris Morris
Yellow Benteens? A clarky cat, A quackcandle?

semi-rumbled...... i love that. i'm gonna use it in conversation this week.
He's a genius, he was doing what Sascha Baron Cohen did nearly 10 years later with Borat
Love it at the end when the presenter goes all Partridge.
John Stapleton's still presenting on GMTV.
@Dungarth even though Steve Coogan was doing work on 'Spitting Image' in the 80's? And him an Chris Morris worked together on radio shows in the very early 90's?! So not before him, but around the same time. I agree with the rest of your comment though of course!
Morris is a God amongst men.
Didn't know about this, Chris, you are the Bozz Bozz!
the delivery is genius even if the line itself isnt
Brilliant.
Chris Morris is a F**king legend!
