A triple-header of British satire from Chris Morris.
The Day Today : A spoof of the the British style of news broadcasting - including ridiculous stories, patronising vox pops, offensively hard-hitting research and a sports presenter clearly struggling for metaphors. One of the funniest things I've ever seen, and set the path for many lesser attempts at this kind of thing. Where the news doesn't matter as much as how it's presented. Launched the character of Alan Partridge too.
Brass Eye : Controversal spoof of current-affairs TV and the role of celebrity in the UK. Ripping the piss out of hard hitting documentary journalism with some very funny and very accurate satire. The 'special' episode caused a lot of angry letters being written to Channel 4.
Jam : A surreal, ambient mix of bleak comedy sketches. Best watched when you're very stoned and can give it your full attention. Don't binge this series, there are only six episodes and whilst not every sketch works, the ones that do will make you question why you're laughing at such twisted fucked-up things.
