David Cann’s doctor character was, for me, the highlight of ‘Jam’. Boomer, you must watch the entirety of this show. It’s phenomenal.

One of the unique things about Jam is the music that plays almost constantly throughout, it’s mostly ambient music but it gives the show a strange almost dreamlike/nightmarish atmosphere. And that’s on top of some extremely dark comedy that goes to some places that few shows dare to. I remember not knowing if i liked it or not on first viewing because it’s genuinely unlike anything else i had seen at the time, especially in how the show is structured, it’s very strange compared to almost every other sketch show but in a good way. It’s still highly original to this day, Chris Morris is a genius.

6:10 - Best reaction ever - on the whole internet! More please - pause all you want!

The patient is Kevin Eldon - The Cleaner (“Dirty”) off Black Books.

Chris Morris's parents were actually both GPs, general practitioner doctors. He delivered a great speech at the 2023 LMC national conference on the state of the GP service - obviously means a lot to him personally. I think his 'problem' is more that he's a sane, intelligent man in a crazy world! So he turns it into comedy.

He's not even seen the cleaner and plumber sketches, yet...

Incredible find! One of the greatest and darkest comedies Britain have ever produced

This is THE greatest reaction to anything ever 😂🎉

I know how you feel, Boomer. Was given JAM on DVD by a friend & it had me in stitches. It’s been left unwatched more than 20years now for the sake of my health…………. I think I’ll binge watch it later tonight!

It's such a treat to see you enjoying some proper British comedy. Please do some more Jam.

this started out as blue jam .. a series on the radio..even more surreal

Loved jam. The doctor was great. The tv show is based on blue jam a radio show. They are up on KZfaq. Genuinely borderline insane.

How the hell do they get through that without laughing, 😂

You might recognise that the guy playing the Doctor was in Black Books episode 2 as the browsing man who shouted at Manny.

So glad you reacted to this!! I had a hunch you might enjoy it. For me - it's top tier stuff. As is The Day Today and Brass Eye. The TV show was based on the radio show Blue Jam. The original music for both shows was created by a composer I used to work with - Adrian Sutton. Chris used to come into our post-production company where I was editing to work on various bits with Adrian and I met him on a few occasions. Lovely guy, blisteringly intelligent and one of my conedy heroes. He inspired a lot of the stuff I then went onto make. Adrian also composed for various other Chris Morris projects and composed the National Theatre's Warhorse. A very gifted composer indeed and again a super lovely guy. Great - reaction. As always. Made my day! Thanks for the shout out. You & The Queeh are currently my favourite reactors - so keep doing you. It's a real pleasure to watch you both laugh at the stuff we all enjoy. It's the closest we get to watching them for the first time ourselves. There's a show here on Channel 4 in the UK called Gogglebox which is basically people reacting to bits of that weeks TV- and it's always a pleasure to watch other people watch things you've seen. The other week something I made was featured on it and it was good fun watching then all laugh in the right places. Watching you cracking up to this is the icing on the cake. Especially as I've been quite unwell recently. So - thanks. I look forward to more!

You must think us Brits are insane, and guess what, you’d be right!

"People say alcohol is a drug. It's not a drug. It's a drink." - Chris Morris, Brass Eye.

I'm honoured to officially announce the official King Boomer catchphrase (DRUM ROLL) "That was me not you guys" WE NEED MERCH BOOMER!!!!!!!!!! I'd buy a T-shirt with that printed on it!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤣

Genius. Kevin Eldon is one of my favourite comedy actors. He also has his own show - The Kevin Eldon Show. Think the music for this sketch is Funki Porcini...out of the UK Ninja Tune label.

Also Nathan Barley and Four Lions by Chris Morris

Wish you had watched this with Queen Boomer lol

Your reaction was so glorious! Jam is astoundingly creative, funny and disturbing- the contrast between the seriousess of the Doctor and the stuff he does is so great.

"But it's great...??" has always been my favourite line in the whole show. Kills me every time!

That’s the NHS for you!

David Cann, is the doctor. He's in loads of comedy shows and movies and he's played a Dragon Keeper in House of Dragon.

I was so hoping that you picked this clip after your hilarious reaction to the last Jam sketch. Try Jam - sex for houses or the gush.

The actor playing the doctor , he plays a waiter in benidorm who ends up going home with les/lesley

I once showed Jam to a Brazilian GF and she said "I've never seen anything like this before." (After the 'happy abortion clinic' skit she said "Jeeeeeeesus....".)

The music in this sketch is by Funki Porcini & the trippy ambient sounds were one of the main things that set this apart from other sketch shows. Everything is so creepy & other-worldly while being absurdly funny.

If I ca survive watching Jam while high on LSD, you can survive watching at least one full episode relatively unscathed. :D

Oh boy - "Disinterested Parents" is gold. Glad you like this How different is this to The Two Ronnies "Four Candles" skit? It's just a misunderstanding exploded into comedy. I really dig that a lot about Chris Morris, there's a lot of "classic" material re-imagined and looked at from a unique angle. Due's a genius and may one day sing an H-note.

We had some mad stuff in the UK . . . Being in my mid-60's now, I was lucky (?) enough to be exposed to most of them as they happened.

Sometimes, I wish I could click 'Like' twice - your reaction was PRICELESS 🤣

The gush sketch, next level fucked up and funny

Theres was a british comedy called the goodies where a man laughed so much he died from a heart attack. It was on strange and curious deaths program.so it its possible to die laughing ❤

Watch “The League of Gentlemen” another U.K. tv sitcom based in a small town full of twisted characters, very dark and funny.

Not sure if anybody else has mentioned but I believe the lady in this is Sonya/Sonia (unsure of spelling) from Alan partridge season 2!

Queen Boomer would die watching this... we wants it! What you've seen so far is fairly tame. It's quite dark in places.

Yeah Jam. You're on the good shit. I've been telling you about "Brasseye" since before Pearl Harbour it seems like.

Four Lions

I remember Jam from back in the day. Weapons grade stuff.

There's nothing like a shared lob rate . . .

Blue Jam

It's criminal how few people have reacted to Jam (or even just watched it). It's quite dark but hopefully Boomer checks out the whole series soon.

"Blue Jam" on the radio was just as good

Check out the Doc sketch where he’s talking to the kid that wets the bed.

Love watching you crack up 😂

There’s never been anything like Jam and I doubt there ever will be again. lol 😂. You have to watch the whole thing it’s a trip

The bits where you to pause because you're dying are the best bits!

Jam was awesome. Luckily I still have it on DVD.

For some reason I’ve needed to watch this every day for about four days

…mate… that was hilarious ❤

There is a rehearsal of one of these sketches available - you can see the actor (David Cann) react after seeing the script, then ploughing through it completely straight kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qq-ho9x_ss63mIU.html

Is that the sublime Amelia Bullock? I really have to get that boxed set. Chris Morris is the evil genius of the dark arts of comedy. Your reaction was grand, mate. I wish you and " The Queen, " rainbows.

I'm so glad you find Jam this funny. I used to watch this back in my raver days... a reet experience. The abortion coffins and Mr Lizard were my favs. And the "chopped up man" nearly killed me. ...react to a full show of Jam (do it.... do it.... DO IT..... you'll live, but not quite the same.)

There's a sketch called 'The Gush', but you'll probably never be able to show that one.

Holy shit... Jam... is something else. Very cool to see our cousins across the pond watching it. Funnily enough the Doc is one of the dragon tamers in House of the dragon ;)

I've just noticed it him that yelled at Bill Bailey at black books. WILL YOU LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!

The intros to each episode are really weird and awesome

You know why we don't go to the drs in the UK often 😂

Incredulity with awkward hilarity - you're a pawn in Chris' game. Your reaction is exactly why he did it. Where else/what else will make you feel the way this has? He puts you right on the tip of the needle, fringe comedy in the extreme. He grasps the human condition and gets to the soft underbelly like a sniper.

😂 this is absolutely, bat-shit crazy. How have i not seen this before? 💙💎

We do this every day at work to warm up first thing in the morning. I work in a Japanese abattoir, filleting squid, and we just love long things flopping about! It's when the long things get a bit scary, and we all look at each other, bow, and then go total BANSAI!!!! Long and floppy things are just things to look at and not for a doctor's surgery... especially, a doctor as qualified as this man. He looks like he should be looking after all the most important people in the world, like, all the world leaders, perhaps??? Maybe, he could be their Guru? Maybe, he could be the missing link they are looking for? Maybe, he could be the spiritual advisor to their blood lin...Ah...nah! Maybe.... just a nob head?

There it is! Haven't seen you fly out of your chair in so long.

"Has anyone died from watching this show?" - I don't know, but maybe some people developed their own "holistic approach"? 😉 I'd totally forgotten about Jam. It was completely surreal and weird, but really funny too! I'm always surprised that they actually managed to get enough takes with a straight face to piece together something like this! I probably wouldn't have made it past "Nice weight..." 😂

Been waiting for this

The fact that this series was adapted from the radio show, Blue Jam, that was aired on BBC Radio 1 (of all places) is still astonishing to me.

Jam, I am of the view was one of the best comedy series of its time. For me, it doesn't use the stable stereotypes of easy comedy that would be racist, sexist or view point and challenges common perceptions. I get why some people do not think it is funny, but comedy should be allowed to challenge those boundaries

It was also a radio show called 'Blue Jam' the music was brilliant, interspersed with these sketches. My favourite was the Noddy car sketch.

I love watching your responses to British Comedy, and you've covered a lot of the best stuff - but I have a suggestion for you - look up The Inbetweeners, there's TV series and two movies, I'd recommend watching a few TV series episodes first to get the characters, then watch the first movie - be prepared to hurt your ribs laughing!

I’m British and have never heard of this show!

"Employing stupid people" was my favourite 😂

This gets a whole lot darker. Smart Pipes ... I'll leave that one there.

Doc is played by an actor named David Cann

Jam will make you piss yourself laughing & crap yourself with fear Yeah, Chris Morris is sick!

I’m in tears Boom! 😂😂😂😂😂

Oohhh just remembered! The child corpse disposer from Jam! Imagine Harvey Keitel's character, Winston Wolf from "Pulp Fiction", but it's a little girl....

I wish you'd watched this with the Queen, she'd have been crawling up the walls with embarrassment and shock :-D

Shrunken car is a really silly funny one not dark like most of the things, if you watch full episode it's got long sketches but in-between some really short silly stuff

Brian Ive known you for a while now - you never told me you could do a spot on chimp impression

More Jam and Brass Eye please! Less Jack Whitehall please 😊

I remember this when it came out, and I was expecting then as now, that the punchline would be that it had cured the patient's headache at least.

Jam and Monkey Dust were great dark comedies.

Watch the me lizard clip from JAM. Amazing

I am firmly of the opinion that Chris Morris is a genius. I watched Brass Eye in the 90's and it made all other comedy pale in comparison. Jam is excruciatingly funny.

Good work Duncan

TV Lizards next!

There's also the "Home seller" piece from Jam. A couple try to buy their dream home, but the seller imposes..... "special conditions".... 😎

Looks like Brian will be moving on to Brasseye soon. And as a guy who lent his Brasseye dvd to a mate years ago and never saw it again, im all for it. Because there's only one entrance to this village, and it's only an inch wide

There was a remix version of Jam called Jaaaaam. That was even weirder.

Welcome to Boomergeddon

British comedy is hands down the best in the world, end of debate.

My favourite Doctor sketch is the one where he's raising money for a girl with head cancer by operating a phone sex line 😂

LOL @8:06 you legit look like you are about to pass out xD

This show must be pretty obscure as I’ve never heard it and I thought I’d seen every comedy show since the 90s.

My favourite sketch is the Mr lizard sketch. Try that one. If you want to of course your channel and choice. Some jam sketches are terribly dark. The doctor ones are just funny or weird

Yay! Kevin eldon! :). You also need to watch “look around you” :). Machadaynu!!! :).

That Pokémon smoke light thing is cool AF

The nearest thing to weirdness that north America had was most likely kids in the hall....

What the actual 😂never seen this 😂
