Jas Man was class, I think his interview with Mad Frankie Fraser takes some beating too. Also, Rhodes Boyson MP, when he carefully inserted Batman as suggestion for a way of tackling crime in the UK.
"In Gotham City in the USA, they call up a vigilante by projecting a large lumimous bat signal into the sky... do you think that would work here?"

I would never describe Chris Morris as a comedian, he's clearly far outside those boundaries. Some of his stuff is also near perfection as far as being like a performance art statement, like getting David Amiss MP to lodge a question in the House Of Commons on the dangers of "Cake", right off the bat.
On one of the "On The Hour" episodes, he tries to sell the story of (then) Labour Leader, Neil Kinnock going batshit insane in a hotel bar to a number of tabloid newspapers, claiming to have a tape (of Kinnock impersonated by Steve Coogan) which he tries to hawk for £2,500 and a framed heart-shaped picture of the Editor.

"Can we lose this bit about the slow crushing of his skull?"
I think the made-up-ness of "Cake" was pure genius, a drug which alters time-perception, with after effects like enormous water-retention in the neck causing death by suffocation.
Noel Edmonds was pure brilliance, as much as (Dr.) Neil Fox's rant on paedophiles/crabs.
I did forget to mention Morris' brass nuts going on the streets to barter with real drug dealers for nonsense drugs, "Have you got any Clarky Cat?"

Now I'm back in the UK, I'll sort out "On The Hour" for you, Shark.
I watched the first three episodes of The Day Today last night, and my girlfriend had never seen it, she was blown away by how utterly convincing it was. I think it's terrifying that News Programming has become like it now.
This is the NEWS!

There's links to those speeches on wikipedia now. I simply searched "bushwhacked". It was that easy to find. Did you ever hear the remix? And this is what I get if I type Smokehammer.com. I feel very disappointed. Much platonic, non-gay for the links. "And the FTSE index closed down
Shut.
Finished.
Good."

Dr. Fact is knocking at the door, someone please, let the man in!I think my favourite bits are, the aforementioned Neil Kinnock sting, anything with Wayne Carr of Radio One, the "Let's Look Local" bit with the interview with Mike D'Arbo of Manfred Mann: CM: You had a hit record, didn't you? With "The Mighty Flan"?MD: "The Mighty Quinn", you mean?CM: Don't contradict me, if you don't mind!.... CM: That the most moving thing I've ever heard in my life...MD: Yeah...CM: Perhaps we should pause a few seconds, just to think about it....MD: Yeah...CM: Shut your face then!And, the interview with Dr. Horace Dobbs of International Dolphin Watch.... HD: He gave me unconditional love, he loved me for what was inside of me...CM: Fish.HD: I'm sorry?CM: She may have eaten some fish?.... CM: ...and it may be good to have some of their characterists in us?HD: Well, yeah...CM: There's no such thing as a nutter in the dolphin-world?HD: There appears not be.EDIT: Update on CM's latest project: £25 to fund and appear in Chris Morris' jihadi comedy....
CHRIS MORRIS JIHADI COMEDY TO BE A WARPFILMS CINEMA FEATURE
Following rumours in the press and online Warp Films can confirm that Chris Morris' comedy about british jihadis is being made by Warp Films as an independently funded cinema feature. The script has been written by Chris in collaboration with Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bain and is now ready to shoot. Production will begin as soon as we are fully funded.
