Peter O'Hanraha-hanrahan and “this guy” at 14:20 is Patrick Marber. He’s now a very famous director and playwright, his best known work being Closer, which became a movie with Natalie Portman, Jude Law, Julia Roberts and Clive Owen.
Fact me til I fart is a reference to an urban legend about a famous newsreader who allegedly had a quick 'liaison' with a crew member but left her mic on and everyone else heard her moan ''f**k me til I fart'. It was also used as a joke in the excellent sitcom Drop the Dead Donkey where the newsreader Sally Smedley had a similar incident.
HI King Boomer...Quick suggestion reaction...This may have been suggested multiple times before, Nathan Barley. Written by Chris Morris and Charlie Booker. Brilliant!
I can remember watching the episode where the pound got stolen on VHS. My mum came in the room and thought it actually happened. I remember her being shocked and asked how that could possibly happen. I just went along with it and let her believe it.
@@RenaissanceEarCandy I don't really remember as it was so long ago. I think the next segment probably made her ask what was going on and then I told her what she was watching.
I'm sure you noticed the bit "The Office" is similar to the later Ricky Gervais show. It even used a similar font in the titles. And it's set in Windsor, neighbouring town to Slough, where Gervais' show is set. Surely not coincidences.
As for hosts walking off, the most recent was Peirs Morgan a year or so ago, never to return. All because the weatherman criticised his attitude to Megan Markle.
The singing group 'The Bee Gees' famously walked off an interview with Clive Anderson, on his chat show, when they didn't like the questions. And, back during the Falklands conflict in the 80s, a government Defence spokesman pulled off his microphone and stalked off during an interview. The interviewer storming off is a new slant.
In one of the more subtle jokes in this episode, it's hilarious that the Russian children were handed plutonium waste parcels with the message to 'take this home and deal with it'.
The Partridge Judo sketch is a (wisely) rewritten Sumo segment from the radio precursor 'On The Hour'. (It was complete with David Schneider doing a Japanese accent 😬😅)
I only saw The Friday Night Armistice, with Armando, Peter Baynham & the weather guy from The Day Today, David Schneider. Armando also produced other shows like Veep & The Thick Of It & a movie called The Death of Stalin which is hilarious.
Everyone loves Peter o'hanra Hanrahan. There was another clip of him ( audio only ) that is well worth a look --- a September 11th report, about 3 mins long, I would strongly advise a listen, it was never in any of the shows. Search --- The Day Today - September 11th.
The actor at 7:30 reporting about Detroit looks like, and i know it is not, Tom Hardy playing Ronnie Kray in the Krays. Always think that. This show was on the cutting edge and all my friends hated it which I could never understand. Then again they never got the Dangerous Brothers. Now that are worth looking up, especially The Dangerous Brothers World Of Danger clip on You Tube (8:38 long one about the Towering Inferno) . Adrian Edmondson and Rik Mayall were The Dangerous Brothers and were of course in Bottom as Richie Richard and Eddie Hitler. Rik also played Flash Hart in Black Adder IV. I believe you are aware of some of these.
It's worth checking out the full version of The Office sketch. Think it's about 20 mins long. I've been quoting Armitage Shanks Interface Defecation Scenario for years.
... also, there's Chris Morris's splendid : Blue Jam tv comedy sketch show .. a sketch show of dark, surreal, horror, often disturbing and melancholy, comedy.
I told you dude. You took a while to catch on, but you obviously are glad you did. You're right in saying the little touches take it to another level. The best 3 comedies made in the UK are this Brasseye and Yes Minister/ Yes Prime Minister.
Here’s something of an easter egg! In the credits, they slip in A.M.D.G. This stands for “Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam” (to the greater glory of God). This is written by pupils of every Jesuit school at the top of their essays. Armando Ianucci went to St Aloysius College in Glasgow, as did I. Lots of lads still automatically write that at the top of the page, long after they have left the school.
Jill Morrell as a football team? She was famous for campaigning on behalf of John McCarthy who was a hostage in Lebanon. Love spotting things like that.
I'm pretty sure the "confession" video in the skit about the two boys and The Vatican was meant to be a parody of the video of the two RAF pilots who got captured during the Gulf War.
For keeping me entertained through yet another shitty sleepness night. For this nothing-amount of money, I’d like you to eventually look at Four Lions, if only to try and work out how the hell they pitched the concept of the film to a studio, and the studio said “Yeah, go ahead, make it”😂 (You couldn’t really react to it, it’s a full length film), it’s just yet another amazing Chris Morris invention 😊
We had a European office team meeting in the Netherlands at a company I used to work for. When asked what each of us expected of the gathering by the Team Consultant Guru chap, one colleague said "No hugging games please". Later in a Q & A session, I asked "Isn't your job just made-up & unnecessary?"
Yeah the fact the other shows have more of a go at one political party or certain people more so than others what made this great is its taking the piss out of everyone and being hilarious with it
Ohh f@£mk off that is the best comedy line that I have ever heard, What is a gay? That proper classic..,Man the gay report creased me up but I was downed by the, 'we would never employ a homosexual line❤❤❤
I cant tell you about everything I cant tell you nothing, I can't tell you anything in between excepting what I know, which is a friggin small amount! reduction in wisdom is bad or good, except when it is good or bad. Wisdom is like an elastic band. Though just as in quantum entanglement, perhaps wisdom can be all or nothing? It can be all at once and nothing at once at all times. But it usually stays pretty stable! ;-)
Great reaction and series. As regards you asking for Armstrong and Miller recommendation's the other day , can I suggest : The Armstrong And Miller Show , Perfectly Innocent 1. It's on RUclips and is absolutely hilarious , I'm sure it will get you out of your chair 😂.
What you have to understand about 'the day today' is that is a piss take / parody of Newsnight. A daily news round up show that used to be insightful and combative back in the day. Sadly no longer. Anyway... if you really want to understand this comedy sketch / series.... you really need to watch an episode of newsnight.
Boomer quite a few like myself keep asking for Harry and Paul 'Quare' (posh accent for Queer) there's quite few of these sketches, faffing. hilarious!!
The Romans can build a straight road and wall? Bollocks. It's the wonkiest thing in England. Still impressed by it bud Hadrian's engineer and architect must have been hitting the sauce because that is some wonky fucking wall.
Brasseye or Trigger happy TV next please Love your ereactions to this Mr Boomer, makes me proud to come form such a messed up (psychologically) country, that produces some weird shiiiiit

The real news is exactly like this now. The Day Today was so ahead of it's time
“Because when news is squared, fact into doubt won’t go! NOW FACT ME UNTIL I FART!”
The Lord Of The Flies on a train story is my favorite thing "They Day Today" ever did. Beautifully surreal.

I expect this show is chock full of media industry “in jokes” that are lost on most people, not least me.
The real presenter being a certain Ms. Blue Clawley?
There was a cassette tape recording of that. I heard it back in the 80’s ( courtesy of a tv presenter whom I shall not name).
I still say ‘now fact me ‘till my fart regularly
NGL, I had a liaison with a girl in a car park late one Saturday and she had a stutter… was the most hilarious shag I’ve ever had.
HI King Boomer...Quick suggestion reaction...This may have been suggested multiple times before, Nathan Barley. Written by Chris Morris and Charlie Booker. Brilliant!
Nathan Barley is genius! Lots of people you’ll recognise in it.
Definitely - brilliant show.
Nathan Barley was originally a character in a show called C*nt that was a mainstay in TV Go Home by Brooker iirc.
Such a good show! Comedy genius.
+ 1 million for Nathan Barley. A masterpiece.
this is some of the finest British TV.
I can remember watching the episode where the pound got stolen on VHS. My mum came in the room and thought it actually happened. I remember her being shocked and asked how that could possibly happen. I just went along with it and let her believe it.
How long until she realised? 😂
@@RenaissanceEarCandy I don't really remember as it was so long ago. I think the next segment probably made her ask what was going on and then I told her what she was watching.

Darkplace, Toast of London, and Spaced are the shows of love to see most! But at least Spaced should be with QB :)
The Jam comments is because he mentioned Robertsons who made our Jam, and Gollys used to be on the jam jars, you could send off for Golly badges too
I had the cowboy golly.
@@matthewclarke4127 ive got loads that were mi Dads (R.I.P), cant remember which off the top of mi head tbh
‘Clinton welcomed home after machine gunning 400 buffalo’😮 my favourite single line from all six episodes. 😂
If you search for you will see just how perfect Chris was
Chris Morris walking off the show is a reversal and parody of John Nott MP walking out of an interview with Robin Day (1982). It's on youube.
As for hosts walking off, the most recent was Peirs Morgan a year or so ago, never to return. All because the weatherman criticised his attitude to Megan Markle.
Chris Morris's Jam is such a dark humoured show
Brass eye definitely!!!!!💯
The Ted Maul character really hits his stride in "Brass Eye". 👍
Very special series and now rightly lauded. We should preserve these as long as possible. Brilliant.
When you finished The Day Today, you should try Brass Eye, a hilarious take on late night news shows, also by Chris Morris.
Even more outrageous.
Bill O’Reilly had his “fuck it, well do it live” which has a similar vibe.
I strongly suspect that Morris is a fan of JG Ballard, the one about the commuters devolving into savagery is basically Highrise on a train.
David Schneider was a Judo Instructor in mr bean episode back to school also 🤔
So glad you’re enjoying this… it’s up there with the Pythons For quotability and rejuvenating British comedy.

The interviewer storming off is a new slant.
It was Robin Day calling John Nott a here today and gone tomorrow politician. Nott stormed off, maybe forgetting that it was a live broadcast.
Piers Morgan tried it, but we all just laughed at him.
Bee Gees vs Clive Anderson was years after The Day Today. 1998, I think
@@mooncalf3130 yes, The Day Today was early 1994, and the 'Bee Gees incident' was 1997, so the show was really ahead of its time.
I'm no fan of the Bee Gees but Clive did call them tossers :D I think they were justified, in that instance
you'll lose your shit when you watch Brass Eye
In one of the more subtle jokes in this episode, it's hilarious that the Russian children were handed plutonium waste parcels with the message to 'take this home and deal with it'.
The Office before The Office.
Peter O'hanrahanrahan lying in Detroit😂
If I ever win big on the lotto I'm going to invite you both to the UK....my treat.
An invite from the Knight of Doom? I'm sure they'll bite your hand off!
The Partridge Judo sketch is a (wisely) rewritten Sumo segment from the radio precursor 'On The Hour'. (It was complete with David Schneider doing a Japanese accent 😬😅)
I love that last football result.
..."CANNOT BE STOPPED."
"Now, fact me til I fart" had me in absolute stitches.
Since you love his name so much, I recommend Armando Ianucci's own show - only one series, but I always liked it.
I only saw The Friday Night Armistice, with Armando, Peter Baynham & the weather guy from The Day Today, David Schneider.
Armando also produced other shows like Veep & The Thick Of It & a movie called The Death of Stalin which is hilarious.

Running out shouting "Ive got the Mirror" in a role reversal of Prtridge running out on him shouting "Ive got cheese". This universe goes deep!
32:52 Turner and George, Clerkenwell!
Brass eye too was epic 😂
Part of me is always sad that they didn’t make more but at least it never got to turn into something shite x

I thought it was Hardy too.

Don’t wait two months for brass eye. Do it now before you get addicted to cake.
If anyone offers you cake, just tell them to f*%k off!
Now you’ve made me watch/listen to the 9/11 audio of POH’O-H’OH’Han that’s on RUclips. Absolute madness
... also, there's Chris Morris's splendid : Blue Jam tv comedy sketch show .. a sketch show of dark, surreal, horror, often disturbing and melancholy, comedy.
06:07 Adam Neals? That was close!
Well done on the 100k!!
I told you dude. You took a while to catch on, but you obviously are glad you did. You're right in saying the little touches take it to another level. The best 3 comedies made in the UK are this Brasseye and Yes Minister/ Yes Prime Minister.
The most shocking part is it's 30 years old since it ended broadcast. Surprised how good the CGI was even back then !.
I think Norman Tebbit walked out on an interview - it's not usual for the interviewer to storm out of his own interview lol
It was John Nott who walked out of an interview
@@johnloony68 You are correct
Thanks kb, glad you enjoyed it. Hope you get over to see Hadrians Wall sometime. It’s great.
It’s a little limp-wristed by now.
Brasseye is even better than The Day Today.
Is that the one with the Pedo episode?.
@@theknightofdoom260 yes, but that was the special one off episode in 2000.
If The Day Today is the news on acid, Brass Eye is The Day Today on Acid.

I'm pretty sure the "confession" video in the skit about the two boys and The Vatican was meant to be a parody of the video of the two RAF pilots who got captured during the Gulf War.
Defence secretary Sir John Nott walked off during a BBC interview after Sir Robin Day called him a "Here today - gone tomorrow politician " in 1982.
WE WANT BRASS EYE its this but WAYYYY better
Boomer - Blue Jam your pants off
arrested for copying dogs
Brass eye and Garth mehrengies dark place....the greatest
I always piss myself over Partridge's hairstyle.
Brass Eye has two key episodes. Nonc sense and Cake.
First Alan to watch is definitely the Knowing Me Knowing You chat show.
I am not sure if I should try and explain that golly comment Robertson's Jam can't use that logo now it's not very PC.
For keeping me entertained through yet another shitty sleepness night. For this nothing-amount of money, I’d like you to eventually look at Four Lions, if only to try and work out how the hell they pitched the concept of the film to a studio, and the studio said “Yeah, go ahead, make it”😂
(You couldn’t really react to it, it’s a full length film), it’s just yet another amazing Chris Morris invention 😊
Pedogeddon was my favourite 😂😂😂😂😂
One last bit of The Day Today for you, have a look for their September 11th radio clip
We had a European office team meeting in the Netherlands at a company I used to work for. When asked what each of us expected of the gathering by the Team Consultant Guru chap, one colleague said "No hugging games please". Later in a Q & A session, I asked "Isn't your job just made-up & unnecessary?"

Pierce Morgan walked off his own show
i prefer brass eye but both of them are well funny
You have to listen the small audio bit where Peter O’Hanraohanrahan reports to Morris on Sept 11 2001
Look up John Shuttleworth, please!
Brass eye is the day today on steroids my friend
Bernard Manning warns against Cake...
Ohh f@£mk off that is the best comedy line that I have ever heard, What is a gay? That proper classic..,Man the gay report creased me up but I was downed by the, 'we would never employ a homosexual line❤❤❤
23:14 "Can you imagine ten Japan's?" - 👁👄👁
If it means that Formula 1 is replaced by Mario Kart then I'm all in.
That WAS the neeeeeeews
The closest US equivalent to The Day Today is The Onion, not a show as such but they do do video clips:

If naivety is without wisdom, nJaques-'Jaques' Liverot is without. :-D
Where is the Chopper of Doom? I thought it was in this episode...
28:24 I wondermif those were genuinely random vox pops, or actors
I cant tell you about everything I cant tell you nothing, I can't tell you anything in between excepting what I know, which is a friggin small amount!

Wait until you see Brasseye's paedophile special !!!
Great reaction and series. As regards you asking for Armstrong and Miller recommendation's the other day , can I suggest : The Armstrong And Miller Show , Perfectly Innocent 1. It's on RUclips and is absolutely hilarious , I'm sure it will get you out of your chair 😂.
Piers Morgan also walked off a show he presented
You need to watch the odd couple videos of Mel b and pasty kensit from bo selecta 😂😂😂😂😂 honestly some of the funniest clips I've ever seen 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love that t shirt.
You MUST do Brass Eye eventually

Mr Show is a pretty whacky American show, one of my favourites! Maybe not as Whacky as this but still pretty out there.
Buy a paper Anthony!!!
YEEEESSSSS, FACT ME OFF CHRIS.
Haidrians wall not actually that interesting. It just looks like any other stone wall seperating fields full of gays.
How dare you!! We have the best gay fields around! The Romans invented gayness! (Or was it the Greeks?)
The Wailing Wall is definitely gay @Netanyahu 🤣🤣
Wtf, that judo guy is from the Mr bean goes back to school episode???
You need to check out Stath Lets Flats if you can get it over there. It's crazy and goofy, just your style :)
Can anyone hear me, Clem Fandango?
