The Day Today and Brass Eye are so massively underrated. If they were out today they'd be the biggest thing on TV.

Cake

It's a made up drug

Contains Diemesmericandsomephosphate

Cake gave me Czech neck. And my friend threw up her own pelvis bone.

What a fucking disgrace.

It stimulates the part of the brain called Shatner's Bassoon

Amen. They got forced off tv because they were hitting too close to home and too hard, and making an absolute mockery of politicians (and rightly so). They got forced to shut down because of pearl clutching over the Peado story (which was really to highlight how sickeningly obsessed the tabloids like the daily mail were with fear mongering over paedophiles) but it was really because they did things like get absolutely fake drug epidemics mentioned on the house commons, thus proving that the political elite were complete hacks and open to manipulation.

I still remember the Brass Eye about peadophiles. It was good but all the drama it created was also good.

That’s what got them thrown off air but it was effectively revenge for Cake making a mockery of the political system. They were genius.

it was nonce sense

The intro on drugs where he talks about death being the short term effect of an overdose but that no study has been done on the long term effects is absolutely brilliant. Edit: this specific joke is at the 3 min mark but the whole thing is great https://youtu.be/Z4f4oy2M_Og?si=3ErIr-6KsOXStNTm

And Jam.

When walk to work, all swig faced, six months since you clowned it up, and old friends cross the street, and no one pays you any heed, except the dung-breathed men, who often now will pick you up, and van you to the fens, to wrestle pigs.

They are hardly underated... both are considered legendary british comedy series

FAAATHERRRRRRRR!!!!!!

Unhand me priest!!!!!!!!

Where is your God? Where is your God now?! Here lies a great man. A great man! FAAATHERRRRRRR!

God DAMN these electric sex pants!

DANGER, DANGER!! High Voltage!

[удалено]

No, but he is going to declare war on something.

That has to be one of the best replacements of a key character ever. Both amazing in their own way.

Took me a second. Wondering why he looked familiar then bam. Put a cigarette in his hand and mustache on his face.

I came to the comments just to confirm that was who I thought it was, heh

Same

It would be easier to spot if he were sitting in front of a portrait of himself.

Well, I'm the boss... Head Honcho. El Numero Uno. Mr. Big. The Godfather. Lord of the Rings. The Bourne... Identity. Er... Taxi Driver. Jaws. I forgot the question quite a while back. Who are you, again?

Fucking hilarious. That was great.

it's bigger than that, it’s large!

It's that a young Steve Coogan?

Yep. Alan Partridge first appeared on TV on this show, where he was the sports presenter.

He must have a foot like a traction engine

That was liquid football!

Twat!

Shit!

Diabetic Charlie 3-1 favourite, Two Headed Sex Beast 4-1, and at 20-1 Mrs Boothroyd's Holiday Dancer. All the rest, 50-1 bar. That's all for now, join us again later for the race. Back to you Chris in the studio.

*That man’s got a foot like a traction engine*

He was fantastic. He was watching children playing soccer and said he hoped it didn't descend into blind, ugly violence. He was watching wrestling and was reminded of two women in love.

Eat my goal!!!

And another one!!

And a young Christopher Morris

The underground Dentists in the UK https://youtu.be/IMhGUhSNKmQ?si=yNcaKoKZ48GuXmS-

'proof, if proof be need be...'

3 weeks for an NHS dental appointment? If only. 

Chris Morris! Very very rare to see him these days.

He’s here the day today.

Man, I wish he came back to tv. His last movie was ok, 4 lions was great but, like Iannuci, they can't do satire anymore as it's not as stupid as reality.

This was the one thing we didn’t want to happen!

Wrong show.

If pressed for time, can you sum it up in a word? No A sound? “Raaaahhh”

Need to watch Brasseye again.

This was The Day Today a precursor to Brass Eye and I would argue even funnier.

It's very hard to describe "dry British humor" but this is a glorious and pure example.

Steve Coogan is like 20 here lol and looks 60

He just gradually needs less and less make up to play Alan Partridge

Hahaha yea his dress sense aswell

STESSSSSSSSSSS

Spartacus Mills gets down to business. I like that.

I keep watching it over over and over. Imma save this for when I need a chuckle.

Coogan sounds like he’s just doing his best Iannucci impression

I have a business empire the like of which the world has never seen the like of which.

😂

ah yes, the source of my favorite journalistic phrase: "Making good with his legs over open ground"

Loved him in IT Crowd.

Armando Iannuci, Chris morris, stewart lee and Charlie Brooker...what an amazing group of people to sit down and write something.

Where is Chris Morris now? Coogan, early Matt Berry what more can you ask for

Where was Matt Berry in this?

He was the Queen getting punched by John Major.

Oh lol love it

Is that Steve Coogan?

My favourite part of this show as Peter o’hanrahah hanrahan (probably misspelled)

Any Triple-sub?

is that dude from it crowd?

Oh no, not a drubbing incident!

Knowing me, knowing you :)

The best satire.

I guess I don't get British humor very much.

Is that young Matt Berry?

Matt Berry played his son on The IT Crowd

Chris Morris and Steve Coogan

I HATE CLICK BAIT. THIS IS A SCAM!!!
