The Day Today - Second Pilot

[@BlookbugIV]

I was impressed with the actors American accent for a moment before it was obvious they genuinely called up a McDonalds in the USA

[@beady123]

“Is your food supply nutritious enough to maintain human life...” Love the way he nervously skirted around the obvious answer

Very pleased to see you here, Oyster. I think T&E once said Chris Morris had a strong influence on them.

[@jockmackay9582]

@MrBipson my favourite such moment, that always gets me is the Neil Kinnock prank call by Chris Morris. Phones up newspapers and says he has a recording of Kinnock kicking off with bar staff. Plays a bit of the recording and it's Coogan doing Kinnock

[@CRAiCED.]

Style and content is one of their best ever bits

"If one turned up what weaponry could you employ to keep it out?" That line and the way he says it

Just 6 episodes and a couple of pilots of the day today there should have been way more - come back Chris Morris, the world's even more mad than in 1994

[@optimisticwhovian1726]

Yeh its a shame there wasn't more but Chris is like all the best comedians he comes in gets the job done and then knows to quit before it gets stale, none of his stuff can get stale cos he kept it to one single set of episodes. I do wish there had been more Brass Eye though.

[@TomGallagherSuperboyBeyond]

@@optimisticwhovian1726 Brass Eye was genius. Wish it would come back. Never will though.

[@sillygoose635]

@@optimisticwhovian1726 TBH he's ok but hes not that good, his stuff got stale, real quick, he has talent, watch his stuff on the IT crowd, his humor has amounted to shock humor that leans to be taken at face value.

[@thealexanderbond]

@@sillygoose635 WTF? Stale? He's the last person I thought could be accused of becoming stale. He's more like a fly that never lands for more than 6 episodes. 6 episodes of Day Today, 7 episodes of Brass Eye, 6 of Jam, 6 of Nathan Barley, then moved into directing, things like Veep, and then movies which have absolutely nothing to do with his old work.

[@monstermonty9074]

[@ruadeil_zabelin]

2:40 holy shit xD

[@Arborealagenda]

You have to watch all the Debate 2000 bits to get the full impact (on the other pilot that is on YT). It is one the best thing they did. The comic acting, writing and piss-take of 'After Dark' at the end of this clip is genius: after the fight she says 'Right, well I think that's adequately illustrated what the French revolution was all about so let's move onto it shall we?' and the French 'writer' quips, again, 'What, its style or its content?'

[@dtz1000]

Very underrated show.

[@darz_k.]

[@johnmartinez7440]

@@charliedawson4877 I wouldn't say so. E.g. the content of Chris Morris talking to a stranded submariner is good, but the style of him interviewing him in an overly comedic way (asking ridiculous questions about fish, telling him he's with him all the bloody way etc) isn't quite right compared to the proper show.

[@chazdrumzalot]

Was that an actual crank call they made??

[@johnking5174]

Oh yes, Chris Morris has balls, he has no nerves and you will see that if you look at "Speak Your Brains" segments on the full series. I remember when he interviewed actor John Challis from Only Fools and Horses sitcom, to get his reaction to Clive Anderson the talk show host being shot dead by presenter Noel Edmonds. Straight faced and no nerves.

[@optimisticwhovian1726]

Definitely sounded like it, I thought it was just another sketch at first but he really did ring a Macdonalds and start talking shite hahaha
