“Expensive looking title sequence”

One of the earths is a virus

check 12:23

It’s so great because until that very end part it’s nearly to close reality to tell it’s parody

I had to go back and watch it again omfg

Or from Brass Eye, "Welcome back and shut up!"

Guru larry news channel

@@uber-cg8vq I can now no longer watch his videos without thinking of this show.

@@uber-cg8vq I'm wondering where he got that intro from. Could be this, but the way he says it, i could also be the scene in 'Extras' series 2 with Barry and the cream bun.

Was gonna say guru Larry too 😋

This comment cracked me up.

Brilliant :)

Ich nichten lichten

have you heard " the day today, 9/11 terror attack" omg

This is at least trente percenter funny

It honestly is light years ahead of its time for comedy considering what we have for reality 25 years later is so similar

It won an award for those graphics.

PETER YOU'VE LOST THE NEWS!

well you still owe me rent 'captain'

....next time you cross the street...

"No you didn't because that means get me a taxi, I'm late for my plane!"

Cat Mackerel it’s like a mother scolding her child

Fangles holy shit thinking the exact same thing 😂

Oooooh you're my wife now

He looks like a typical Anglo-jew.

It’s a spitting image lol

Hello dave

"when he starts real prison next week he'll be expected to muck in with all the other inmates, detained at his mother's pleasure.."

Too true

Fox news is not this sane.

CNN has surpassed Fox.

Presumably you’re confused and mean all news stations apart from Fox News. Either that or you’re a left-wing bell-end.

Imagine consuming MSM at all

Twice every two days. Inexcusable.

EDIT - Host: Peter thank you 🙄

Maybe the best gag I've ever heard

I love how you can see "35,000 or 3500 CHECK" and check is underlined :P

Peter: News. Host: FAKE News

that's ironic on the another level

And topical for today.

Yeah, we’re actually a lot larger

⁠@@tiwtid6055It’s bigger than that

That's the original incarnation of Alan Partridge

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL

Genius! Had me puzzling what I had heard for a while!

don't forget "this report from Eugene Fraxby's got the story with him reports".

When the night draws in like a great dark thing

@@LeGronk The MTV sketch has tonnes of these like "Bob Dylan he's a singer".

"proof if proof be need be" caught me off-guard

Why are you everywhere?

I taped it ,played it to my partners mum the following day. She watched ,then about 5 to 7 min in turned and said " what channel is this" ? 😂

I remember momentarily questioning the legitimacy of this program when I first watched it 😂

MuzzstepTV same age here and i agree

We definitely do but we've gone so far past satirical news these days. Re watching this now doesn't even seem crazy 😂

Watch “The Day Today” Drugs episode. You can thank me later.😜

@@jbmclorie that was Brass Eye. The Day Today's episodes weren't themed.

Fiery Jack indeed it was. My mistake. Very,very funny though.

but the dentEE was less fortunate

that dental sketch was prophecy- nowadays there would be plenty of punters willing to pay 25 quid to get their toothache sorted under a bridge

Read this comment literally a second before i reached the footage

STAY AT HOME! PEOPLE IN HOSPITALS ARE NOW DYING!

I remember this very well . Thatcher said that she wanted to deny them the 'oxygen of publicity '. This is the helium of publicity instead.

@@kevcatnip7589 Is that a piss-poor attempt at a joke, or a genuine spelling mistake??

@@MrDonaldwilson LMAO You won the fucking internet today, sir. I still haven't seen Morris' latest film (shame on me), any word? Also, are you familiar with that kind of pseudo-documentary (but NOT a mockumntary) that had cut scenes from Brass Eye? It was only screned a few times but I remember reading about another skit when he was spoofing on the King's Road drug dealers ("Have you got any Yellowben Teenes? What about a Clarcky Cat?"), they actually filmed at least one other when he was dressed as a foppish 19th-century "gentleman about town" in a fucking horse drawn carriage, apparently he pulls up and asks them if they have "any tincture of laudanum, my good fellows?"? But they chose to leave it on the cutting room floor!

@MrBipson Good catch, actually

What? I don't speak Spanish

@@TheJamesM one of the best lines of all time 😂😂😂

Get me a taxi I’m late for my plane

@@DirtyBertie he said "I don't like it, but I'll have to go along with it"

I’m sure it’s “proof” and not truth.

@MrBipson And another!

The proof is in the pudding. And the pudding, in this case, is a football.

Me too, but there are SO FUCKING MANY!!!

@@DrunkChimp funniest part 😂

SHIT!! Did you see that!?!

Yeah - Alan Partridge; the least funny part of the whole show.

He's funny but kind of one note, now Alan Partridge is hilarious.

What would have been really nice is two or three more series of The Day Today.

I wouldn't give up Alan partridge for any other comedy love him so much. So many good shows. But Peter is great. Would have loved to have both.🙂

@@BlueGrenadeTom Partridge became more interesting after this series.

This used to be prescient. 3 months is the norm. Fackin NHSE (which is different to the NHS)

The BBC has become more like it. Even more gaslighting, lying and pushing of sinister agendas.

@@thursoberwick1948 I'm a South African so I'm not well-versed in European subjects but I've been hearing a lot of this stuff about the BBC 'pushing agendas'. What's all that about?

@@kevinhansen9258 The BBC pushes a lot of agendas, and strangely, not all of them are in line with one another. BBC news is the most obviously biased part of the corporation, but it is elsewhere. 1) Royal Family - since the BBC is established by royal commission, its news coverage of the royal family is nearly entirely favourable even with the recent example of Prince Andrew. You will see occasional swipes at them on comedy shows, but the news coverage is one sided. 2) BBC news is a good barometer of British foreign policy, especially when it comes to military activity. I am almost certain the MOD has direct influence on an unofficial level. I remember trying to watch coverage of the Christchurch Earthquake some years ago, and there were seven minutes devoted to it, as opposed to twenty minutes going on about Libya. A couple of weeks later, and the RAF etc were out bombing Libya. 3) The BBC is institutionally biased against Scottish independence. The BBC has traditionally provided a poor service to Scotland, in areas such as sport, culture, politics, history and so on. But since Scotland has 10% of the UK population, and it is funded by a TV licence, the BBC stands to lose millions if Scotland becomes independent. That's before we get into the personal biases of its staff. 4) The BBC also fails to represent Wales and Northern Ireland properly and has been biased in its portrayal of their culture, politics, sport etc, especially the Troubles. It does not represent Northern England well, except in comedies. 5) Wokeness - this has definitely been a controversial issue of late. This is a battle between those who see it as social engineering vs those who see it as fairness and equality. It is often not the latter and can be very anti-working class. 6) In the past, the BBC has pushed various government agendas including the contradictory notions of privatisation and nationalisation at different points. It also faked footage during the Miners' Strike (1983) by reversing it - i.e. during a police charge, they made it look as if the miners were charging the police instead of vice versa. Right now, the BBC is pushing the government's Covid agenda/handling pretty uncritically - and this was confirmed by a leaked internal memo.

@@thursoberwick1948 👍

@@thursoberwick1948 excellent summary of the BBC. It's senior staff are very close to the conservative political party. Often the leader of the BBC is directly from the conservative party, such as an ex senior minister. Current prime minister Richie Sunak has his old boss from his banking days as the current leader of the BBC. The BBC needs to become politically independent in order to represent Britain fairly and accurately. At the moment it's severely controlled by the conservative party and this is damaging for democracy in Britain.

Even after Prince Charles is now "King Charles," the first story is even MORE hilarious (and very prophetic).

brass eye was better, tbh

irony being that lou reed was real - jesus is a made up character

All in a Christopher Walken accent.

@@mcfcguvnors if you believe lou Reed was a real person you are a sucker.

@@jordanhicks5131 you got any Cds by jesus then ? :D

mcfcguvnors - of course not! They didn’t have the technology to play CDs back then so nobody bothered recording any.

This could actually happen in 2020 lets be honest

Don’t forget that within 6 hours a memorial had been put up.

Backstreet dentists is the most underrated TDT sketch. “Proof if proof be need be” has long since replaced whatever the correct phrasing is in my head. I doubt that was a Morris sketch though. Seems more like a Baynham idea.

One of the reasons Chris stopped, the world is so crazy it's almost impossible to parody now.

Yup, same here! A few years later, I finally thought I'd got over the ludicrousness of it, and they brought out the dvd extras...and then I saw the horse racing commentary! Not over it. Not even close!

"JOIN ME"

​@@robair67two headed sex beast!

that was the first sketch from this show that my dad ever showed me and ive since watched the whole show many times

To paraphrase Sue Lawley

KZfaq commenters say the only treatments they can offer so far... are rubbish.

"Oi!!" > > > > ⛵ 🌞🏝

‘Fact me til I fart’ is a reference to a famous female newsreader supposedly being caught on tape saying to a lover something almost identical. One of those great celebrity urban myths.

That's what he said Chris.

"..riding no handed. No need for that"!

I was looking for this comment 😂

Thought the same thing

They should get Alan to report on the International Bowling Championships 🎳

And they actually held Question Time at Wembley Stadium during the Brexit campaigns.

When they put Russel brand up against Farage....it was laughable

It's like when Partridge was pitching 'Cooking in Prison' as a ridiculous reality TV show - then it actually became a thing. Live long enough, and you'll see real life satirising itself

comanchio1976 like when in life of Brian they were laughing at a mans right to be a woman and have children. Now that’s real.

They might offend somebody ☹
