Brass Eye – Good AIDs vs Bad AIDs

After the success of the spoof news programme, The Day Today, Chris Morris pushed the boundaries of british comedy even further with the spoof documentary programme Brass Eye. Each week Chris Morris and Brass Eye tackled a contemporary issue in the most outrageous way possible. The most talked about was the award winning episode on Paedophiles, but this short excerpt of a mock studio debate in the style of the daytime tv show Kilroy about good aids and bad aids is brilliantly done and very very funny.

Chris Morris is a genius.

The Day Today – Uzi Lover by Fur Q

The Day Today was such a brilliant comedy sketch show. The spoof news programme that was so realistic and so accurate.

It was the brainchild of comic genius Chris Morris; and this classic sketch proves what a genuis the man is.

All three parts in this spoof Mtv sketch are played by Morris himself – Fur Q the outrageous rap artist, the young Mtv “video jockey” and the middle-aged Rolling Stone magazine rock journalist, Derrin Zikks.

Furthermore, Uzi Lover by Fur Q is better than a majority of the rap music that is played on Mtv.
