The Day Today Episode 02 - The Big Report

I am the channel John Grant(we got a copyright strike), sorry for not uploading videos for a while. Heres the second episode of The Day Today.

[@obsidiandeluxe4474]

We never did learn more about the controversy over the new police shirts

[@johnnyjohnny6174]

I feel like I already know what the problem might be

[@oscartravis5740]

Their new hand puppets loved them

[@designate_om]

i mean it's a tad small-ish

[@AcornElectron]

It’s actually on the dvd under bonus contents for people who give a damn.

[@mrbenoit5018]

@JONATHAN SUTCLIFFE thought-provoking

[@chrisman4568]

The writing talent on this show....no wonder it's so good and sharp 25 years later. This is arguably the greatest line-up of comedy writers ever assembled

[@marvinc999]

Chrisman Spurs - And the acting brilliance of the ENTIRE cast didn't do it any harm, either !

[@ignoblesurfer6281]

How much better it could have been if half of them weren't killed by that collapsed paddock.

[@philharvey5519]

@Luka Anakin my girlfriend killed herself after an argument with me. I think I should probably kill myself.

[@historyben7122]

So many great lines in this show. "Proof if proof be need be" is one that I still try to slip into conversations

[@chelseapoet3664]

I like to use "in the immediately future"!

[@Juggler4071]

"The dentist managed to escape on a nearby yacht, but the dentee was less fortunate."

[@xavirik4828]

I have used "I don't like but ill have to go along with it" more than I should

[@wattage2007]

“It’s bigger than that Chris, it’s large.”

[@buckbumble]

Grasp the candle and bang on

[@icecreamforcrowhurst]

“... let’s hope that that tomfoolery doesn’t escalate into blind ugly violence.” 😂

[@spenser9908]

That whole "is this cool?" portion nearly killed me.

[@rob5571]

when smashes her head thru the glass had me on the floor

[@optimisticwhovian1726]

Its taking the piss out of health scare campaigns by going totally overboard trying to drill their point home.

[@Thetruepianoman]

@@optimisticwhovian1726 I don't feel like anyone here thought that was ambiguous

[@badethics7542]

road safety increases to 100%

[@Lucifronz]

It's a perfect case study for how repetition makes something stupidly simple, *extremely* funny.

[@gilbertgottfriedammerung8688]

Chris's disturbed look everytime he throws to the weather report is one of my favorite subtle running jokes.

[@tombarter3287]

I was going to say, even Chris seems perturbed by this guy.

[@ppodism]

Ha ha “I had to wait 3 weeks for an appointment”… heaven!!

[@gary5693]

Chris Morris doing the music section all on his own!!!! Unbelievable talent!

[@TheClark789]

the part where he blacked up was great!

[@BarterTom]

I love how Chris seems vaguely creeped out by the weather man.

[@gimmieliberty6514]

"i can keep your pound, but i cant let you in the pool" merciless council retail

[@BigDave41UK]

I love that they genuinely covered birds in pasta

[@ferventheat]

Another Pasta slick.... drenched in linguini.

[@capitalcities1996]

"Hellwyn, Colin, Chris. Hellwyn, Chris, Hellwyn."

[@SunnyIntervalsORG]

"Chris!"

[@slavaukraini1991]

"Hellwyn"

[@tombarter3287]

Just has to have the last word.

[@ericthatsme]

I lost it when we witness Partridge’s incredulity at finding out jockeys are in fact, small in stature people, and not children. He’s so damn bewildered. 😆😆

[@ianthomas5955]

Absolute razor-sharp satire of a hitherto unimagined dimension. You have to run it through a few times to fully appreciate how exquisitely incisive it is. No wonder it didn't last long - it's far too brilliant.

[@WAAAAAAAAAAAY]

"Proof if proof be need be" Always tickles me haha. Also, interesting precursor to Peep Show in this episode :)

[@Catcrumbs]

Looks more like 'The Family' to me.

[@WAAAAAAAAAAAY]

Oh yeah.... That too ha :)

[@convolution223]

did Peep Show steal their shtick from this? it's essentially the same concept

[@jlscoyserney]

mate i quote "proof if proof be need be" all the time

[@alanthe2]

I've seen this episode countless times but I've only just noticed Peter O'Hanarahanrahan getting punched in the background of the first report!

[@theonetheonlyjoey]

Thank you for pointing that out, 6 years later I saw this comment and it changed my life

[@cdname47]

Wait until you see the bearau du change on a truck race by in the background of the street drugs report with them all fighting in a later ep

[@ArchangelSteve]

It's been over 20 years and I've only just now noticed what looks like Peter O'hanraha-hanrahan getting smacked in the background at 01:40.

[@AllucardA10]

Nicely spotted, damn

[@vileindividual]

holy shit i've never spotted that either

[@MrAristaeus]

Steve of the Dead Did you spot the concerned lady in blue who must've thought she had witnessed an assault?

[@ArchangelSteve]

MrAristaeus yeah, I love the woman who'd cracked Peter walking her out of shot, I figure that's the point where she's like "it's okay, we're filming something for the BBC..."

[@karpetcabin]

Steve of the Dead well spotted!

[@karpetcabin]

The dentist escaped on a nearby yacht...😂😂😂

[@turtleflipper9935]

the dentee was less fortunate

[@JesusRocksTryPrayin]

"An exploded cardinal, now does sermons from fish tank" dude the writing in this is so beyond words. I've seen his series a couple times: the writing in his projects is so next level and amazing. And there are so many things that you miss + 420

[@kinghani]

I reckon by now I could actually recite that Alan Partridge horse-racing scene by heart but this show still makes me laugh embarrassingly loud.

[@thinkingthingxii2061]

"Hello peasant." "How do you do?"

[@johnmontague6588]

Chris Morris as Kurt Cobain, cracks me up everytime

[@jayboy8080]

The swimming pool scenes were comedy gold

[@mmjackk667]

"The dentist managed to escape on a nearby yacht." I think I've just pissed myself.

[@anthonyberry7362]

If I ever own a horse it's either called Two Headed Sex Beast or Zeinab Badawi's 20 hotels

[@rhaeven]

the only thing better than the horse names are the football team names in another episode ahahahaha

[@jackmonaghan8477]

Oddly enough, Kurt Cobain died shortly after this episode aired.

[@InceyWincey]

To be honest with you if I was Kurt Cobain and someone made a sketch about me selling out to sell panty liners I’d probably kill myself too.

[@StephenOBG]

Did he go with a panty smile?

[@b8nnytez]

​@@StephenOBGno, which is a shame, because they would have helped!😮

[@bigleebrink]

Uzi Lover is a big tune!!

[@Jizzlewobbwtfcus]

was obsessed with this programe back when it was aired, Fur Q made me laugh so hard i cried :D

[@stevecox7075]

This is one of the very few comedy shows that has had me laughing out loud. Brilliant.

[@Boabywankenobi]

...written 20 odd years ago and STILL ahead of it's time if it was relesased today. Where are you Chris Morris????? We're sorry!!!!!

[@YOYO-mx6ie]

Thank you Armando Iannucci

[@KaitainCPS]

Just finishing off a new film called "The Day Shall Come", set in Miami.

[@chuzzwozzer]

Let's hope that horseplay doesn't escalate into blind ugly violence.

[@moonwhistle]

He had me at "YES"

[@jameseglavin4]

Let’s hope that tomfoolery doesn’t escalate into blind, ugly violence… Amazing

[@PopeLando]

I love Question Time live from Wembley Stadium! 17:06 Jacob Rees-Mogg's dad William getting a name check there.

[@atomiccritter6492]

LOL at 6.12 - great to see the deaf catered for

[@jameshill7729]

pure class so funny there's nothing even remotely as good today

[@perrin6]

This creates within me a mixture of crying laughter with bouts of bottomless awful depression

[@anonb4632]

The entire country is now like that pool receptionist.

[@spenser9908]

More like that weedy lifeguard, in the sense that we're weakly allowing everyone into out country/pool.

[@cheeseontoast9418]

seems everyones some bitch who moans about the state of our country

[@InceyWincey]

The entire country is one character or another from this show. Unfortunately what we wanted to happen was for everyone to be more like the writers.

[@Christypher]

...onlybecauseyoulandedinsomebody'sstomach...

[@DaveTerrasidio]

Onion Terror, MASSIVE Bereavement, Trust Me I'm A Stomach...

[@DEMcouver]

Last night I went with a team to there.

[@InceyWincey]

Poetry.

[@tokyotank123]

“Six thirty delayed, due to a collapsed paddock - they’re just sorting that out now”

[@abc-rf8gi]

“are these the real Birmingham bombers” hahaha

[@yampk1]

Wonderful brilliant. Modern news channels obviously didn't get that it was satire...

[@douro20]

"...man raised by puffins..."

[@robair67]

Seriously, I've been randomly saying "Where now for man raised by puffins?", at select moments, since 1994! It was my absolute favourite spleen bursting line of the series!

[@GrymligastPS4]

Click ting stamps

[@WolfgangvonHam]

This is my humour I wish spoof shows were like this today

[@combi331]

Made before my birth and I'm Dutch - not British, but still think it is brilliant

[@TheLoverboyz901]

for the record "I don't like it, but I'll have to go along with it" in German is "Ich mag es nicht, aber ich muss gehen zusammen mit ihm"

[@chrisman4568]

That needed clearing up

[@martydav9475]

TheLoverboyz901 Thought it was.

[@garyhewitt489]

Actually with Brexit the Germans will acquire the Brits percentage and will have 42.5% . WELL DONE YOU BREXITEERS LOOK WHAT YOU HAVE HANDED THE GERMANS

[@Juggler4071]

Ich.... er... ich.... nichten.... lichten....

[@martinmills135]

Funny how crap Google Translate was 9 years ago. That’s some atrocious German. Try something like: „Es ist zwar nicht erfreulich, aber ich werde diese Entscheidung mittragen müssen.“

[@rondon9897]

That ostrich looked exactly like Sinead O'Connor. Nearly wet myself when that came on.

[@InceyWincey]

I spat my tea out from this morning I laughed so hard at that.

[@relentlessaddict98jm]

this show is pure genius

[@garethgill1]

“Great to see the deaf catered for for by these real characters in anoraks”😂

[@qte5530]

Strange enough BBC America shows nothing but Star Trek Next Generation. It would be nice to see all the shows I enjoy. I call them Britcoms I need it!

[@Mccolinsclub]

Agreed!!

[@T.E.S.S.]

I'm dying at "Ich nichten lichten"

[@quietside3734]

"Trente percente"

[@bumpyjason]

That nirvana was fucking brilliant

[@johnking5174]

The dentists story is funny because it is now actually starting to become so hard to get a NHS dentist. 1994 to 2024, and they had sort of an idea how the tories would destroy NHS dentists

[@H_E_N_X]

Honestly I like the idea of underground dentistry considering how much it costs these days

[@neverever719]

The only source I trust these days.

[@longtomato92]

Why is nobody talking about the fact that the camera goes up Cher's privates for the Rok TV logo?!🤣🤣🤣

[@b8nnytez]

I know eh? Absolute class!😂😂

[@pittodrie19831]

Collaterly Sisters cracks me up.

[@Dannzzx]

3:32 you can see armando stood staring at coogan lolololo

[@Dannzzx]

i could spot that bald patch and those ears from a mile off

[@whocrusader5179]

0:40 YEEESSS! 😂😂😂

[@johnking5174]

Anyone notice at 1.40 behind Hellwyn Ballard you see what looks like Peter O'Hanraha-hanrahan get slapped by a woman he is walking with. He just remains lying there on the ground for the rest of the clip from outside parliament. Only noticed it now. Subliminal.

[@DellDuckfan313]

Sublime, not subliminal.

[@mark000888]

In my opinion, this show was only as good as it was because Will Self provided the horses.

[@woogoose]

No it doesn't, it means "Get me a taxi, I'm late for my plane"

[@awordabout...3061]

Having been a sports coach, I can totally understand the poor impotent swimming teacher!

[@jshaers96]

I'm glad someone else has noticed Mick Hucknall's resemblance to Charlie Drake.

[@nathanielelmer2190]

ich nichten lichten

[@garethgill1]

“The going today, moist to tricky”

[@Cleisthenes2]

I miss the New Zealand Prendergast and its Russia desk

[@kerryh7463]

Peter O'Hanrahanran reminds me of me at work lol

[@polbecca]

The good old Quantel Paintbox sure got a workout with The Day Today. 12:32 is clearly a case of 'Oh, just come up with something, whatever you like!'

[@NGRevenant]

"Hello, Ian Curtis here" fucking lol

[@andymaq]

Has to be one of the darkest jokes in the show! Fucking hell, haha

[@BenJonesVideographer]

Also one he had to apologize for. The only time he has!

[@nakedmambo]

Needed an apology too. Not really a great joke.

[@agdgdgwngo]

It really is a great joke

[@nakedmambo]

Don't be silly small boy.

[@MontyCantsin5]

Partridge's line at 5:43 XD.

[@tomwright4969]

Rock TV left me in stitches

[@hotelmario510]

Tom Wright The Ian Curtis joke is horrible but amazing

[@martydav9475]

Tom Wright Yes it's brilliantly naff.

[@alexanderthomas-owen613]

18:01 Let's just be serious for a minute, this is actually an important message. Don't speed.

[@martydav9475]

Alexander Thomas-Owen Bit of an irony though,as Coogan loved fast sports cars (and cocaine and prostitutes).

[@davidlewis1787]

Yeh, cool

[@RoamingAdhocrat]

It's Nicola Murray at the pool!

[@iandann8788]

I forgot how good this was ,very funny

[@frankienamosaki7547]

Fur Q has got some serious flow!

[@jessewheinrichs]

I like that the intro is so long you forget what you are watching

[@KingLich451]

1:39 hahahaha, poor Hanrahan

[@hoppinonabronzeleg9477]

Fir-Q with his hit 'Uzi Lover' - Gangster Rap hasn't changed a bit since 1993.

[@Minoltalphafan]

She is Plough from Toast of London with the Boss from IT Crowd. I have alot of British comedy to watch.

[@cheeseontoast9418]

susie bapswent haha also that ian curtis bit caught me off guard

[@StandardGoose]

They got early-90s MTV exactly right.

[@maremaarten]

great menstrual pad Nirvana song!

[@tryceratopstv3583]

"Yes or no? Find out tonight, on BBC 2!"

[@interstate366]

1:40 Peter O’Hanraha-Hanrahan getting punched in the background and then just lays on the ground for the rest

[@drphiI]

Is this cool? Is this cool? Is this cool? Is this cool? Is this cool? Is that cool? All these people - are they cool? Is this cool? This guy - cool is he?! This guy - is he cool? This woman - is she cool? So what about me? Do I look cool? Well do I!? Do I look cool, do I really look cool? DO I? DO I? DO I?

[@emer157]

Yes

[@jakubgrimm575]

That was an effective anti speeding campaign.

[@ZuluRomeo]

"Coming up later we'll be microtometer candy hell"

[@ilonagunszebn2674]

still so good. love it

[@DJKinney]

Is it true that Chris Morris called to apologize when he found out that Ian's widow Deborah had been watching this episode? And it upset her?

[@pickledegg1989]

Uzi Lover unironically slaps.

[@golu_badbola]

12:30 Stellar graphics, m8!!

[@ericthatsme]

Swapnil Jain I like the one in episode one where the graphics puke out of Chris’ mouth.

[@michealkelly9441]

Fur Q inspiration for Ali G?

[@theonlyantony]

Prescient and fresh-as-ever. Bizarre. Creme de la creme!

[@ProcrastinatorEdward]

Ahahaahah what the actual fuck 1:39 I was caught completely off guard

[@danparks669]

starting in the south east, devon and cornwall
