Brass Eye clip from 2001 Pedo Special

[Avradizimir]

Quite incredible that they got these celebrities to spout that rubbish.

[tenchy88]

13 people are small bean regarders

[warriorofwrestlingv3]

3:12 that dude looks a bit nervous about the expanding peanut/colour television thing :p

[ThePrice8]

Your a paedophile, your a nonce, your a perv, your a slot badger, your a 2 pinned in plug, your a bush dodger, your a small bean regarder, your a una bummer, your a nut adimistrator, your a bent ref, your the crazy world of Arther Brown, your a fench foal, your a free willy, your a chimney bottler, your a bunty man, your a shrub rockateir. Chris Morris is a true icon in my opinion!

[d0nkeytr0n]

pipe to pipe bushman

[allegramente5000]

with the passing of time i'd imagine the various MPs and media personalities who were duped into saying crazy things are actually quite proud to be part of such an acclaimed series.

[wizardssleeve09]

[allegramente5000]

i love expression on the ladies face at 3:09 - -a sense of shock at the punishment which is being suggested (implant in rectum the size of a cashew nut which exoands to the size of a 14inch TV set when the Peado is aroused)

[TheSteelyMan]

Where can I get a download of that song? C:

[SimonB198207]

'Pedophilia is wrong.

It's PAEdophilia.'

Jimmy Carr.. i can't remember which DVD it's on.

[Vetuyasha]

Pedophiles having sex with each other? Uuuuuuum...ok. I thought they were interested only in little kids. WTF!

[GregJPreece]

@Vetuyasha Please please please please please please tell me you know this is a satirical show. Because I may have to kill myself if you're not aware of that.

[PhilipOMeara]

the american chart-toppers "smash my brother's face in"!!!

[milbytrillion]

"you're a shrub rocketeer"

[sean86allen]

PIPE TO PIPE BUSHMAN!!

"...from a shrub"

[AEF091]

This was brilliantly done. Celebrities were delibriteraly fooled into endorsing several fake campaigns and just showed the mass hysteria that was (and still is) around at the time. Most of the people did not even know basic things about sex crimes and were going on TV and talking like experts. It turned into a witch hunt, where even a peadriatician was mistaken for a Pedophile, and her house was vandalised by locals. It was appaling and shows why most of the world HATE us.

[IDante1Savage]

"I'd like to play you a song called stay away from me from the american chart toppers smash my brothers face in"

HA

[saulhiphop]

toooooooooooooo funny. nothing like THIS on tv anymore!

[zzzaaa09900]

"theres no real evidence for it, but its scientific fact"

[nasalscarecrow]

Smash My Brother's Face In sound like a great band!

[macchilavel]

You're the Crazy World of Arthur Brown

[iPhoneGTI]

This was hilarious. Making fun of news stories and taboo subjects is what makes satire so damn great. That's also why I was sorry to see Frankie Boyle leave Mock The Week.

[usernameemanresu]

I can never hear a Hall and Oates song without thinking of this and laughing.

[UncommittedAddict]

The greatest piece of television ever broadcast. And I don't say that lightly.

[Superbad1980]

Goes to show you that Z listers like 'Dr Fox' would do/say anything to get on tv. He obviously didnt even read what they told him to say lol

[jasonjbell]

This is the greatest western satire from the 90s LOL

[lordlight]

"This is scientific FACT! There is no real evidence to support this, BUT it is fact"

WTF?!?!

[CaptainTrollface]

Doctor Fox is a fucking wanker haha. I'm so glad that Chris Morris exposed him as the pretentious twat that he is.

"It IS scientific fact. There's no evidence for it, but it IS scientific FACT".

hahaha what a bellend.

[HERESBECKYSTILL]

i love the pictures of hall & oats hahaha

Watch out, kids.... for anti-peadophiles.

They've killed much more kids than all the peadophiles ever together!

[TheMilanista89]

Funniest thing I've ever seen. Haven't been able to take Lineker seriously since.

[cuntylishus]

Hilarious, but disgusting how celebs and politicos were willing to prostitute themselves so readily. Cashing in on mass hysteria...

[vTupaczGhosTv]

BUSH DODGER

[paindoll]

There is evidence but there is no fact, WHAT? hahah

[norsef]

1:48 I'm running at them now with my trousers down.

The image of Gary Lineker charging at a bunch of kids in a playground with his arms above his head and no underwear on his balls is hilarious.

[jimpurdie]

@norsef hahaha

[Terror696969]

"the pedophile has an implant the size of a cashew nut in his rectum. these devices are triggered by the sound of childrens voices. it hears those voices it expands the size of a 42 inch color television set" LMAO!

[babidaboopy]

"You're the crazy world of Arthur Brown"

[mfpwalshe]

@GodsGayLover.... You spelt "clever" wrong. DOH!!

[theredtinkerbell]

That's code for a male pedophile dressed as a lion. LOLOLOLOL.

[nessiebreath]

God, I used to know one of the girls in that line up of "public" - Sanja seem to remember her name was, Croatian I believe. Lets just say, can see the kind of people that would be taken in by this! Be interesting to know the tactics they used

[psychicfreakBastard]

you're a small bean regarder...LOOOOOL

[BrosoKintobor]

You're a Bunty Man, You're a Shrub Rocketeer :P

[tom101086]

baltimora

[Ilikenuman]

smash my brothers face in!

[afteq]

Paedo* not pedo

[warlaud]

Either way is considered acceptable

[afteq]

I believe like most words in the English language, it's latin, and they spelt it like this 'paedo', but for goodness knows what reason the english speakers of the americas seem to remove letters and bastadise our langauage. But Brass Eye is indeed a very good satrist, shame he didn't do more work

[animegalc4]

Latin is the pimp of languages.

[burnmetodeath]

Lol! Straight up.

[rdsnuke]

@afteq If you argue that, then the Americans spell colour correctly because they spell it the same as Latin. And the English used to spell it colour before the aristocracy thought the French were fashionable and started adding "u" to words like "humour". The standard American accent is also closer to the English accent of years ago. Estuary English is quite new.. not Old.

[GodsGayLover]

what a cleaver retard. Just one point, we spell in English not Latin you cretin.

[Wodanaz]

@warlaud Pedo is only acceptible in the US.

[gmanlondon]

@warlaud no it isn't, you have to use on or the other. If you're speaking English, you would use paedophile, if you're an illiterate North American you use pedophile and eventually they'll stick their most beloved letter 'z' in there somewhere for good measure just so it makes even less sense.

[misternylon]

@gmanlondon Yanks try to steamroller over everything including other nations languages.

Aloominum (sic) being a prime example of them not being able to pronounce Aluminium.

[poop121]

@afteq

its spelled both ways actually

[stubarlow1111]

You lot must be on clarky cat this is awesome

[imperialpod]

Yeah, that Hatty Jaques portentious wog will screw you up!

Russell dust heads, all of em!

Satire doesn't get better than this.

[SuaveERNST]

AHAHAH this cant be serious.

[stillben]

they had 42inch colour tvs back then? wow

This is from 2001, not 1981.

[koggi242]

a small beam regarder!

free willy.

unabummer!

but yes the best is shrub rocketeer!

[warlaud]

I think they said 'small bean regarder'.

[StartabandDuran]

@warlaud The use of 'regarder' alone had me lol'ing.

[DrMcGonzo]

@koggi242

It is small bean regarder, but 'The Crazy World of Arthur Brown' is my personal favourite. Also, on another note, that guy is actually a real paedophile. I thought it was just an actor until I read about it in Chris Morris' biography.

[conspicuouspancake]

'youre the crazy world of arthur brown' lol

[jberry106]

"before and after" - Hall & Oates. i didn't get that first time round

[mightyPants]

dr fox lol!

[loyallands]

p2pbsh

Code for two peadophiles having sex with each other while watching children from a shrub.

lol

[ReflexRich]

This is too funny! When he's talking to a self-professed paedophile, "You're a slop badger, you're a nut administrator, you're a bush dodger, and (my favourite) you're a shrub rocketeer" hahaha, Genius!

[ReflexRich]

"Stay away from me" by the American chart-toppers, "Smash my brother's face in" Class!

[Backagain19]

That line by Phil Collins never fails to crack me up, as does the Hall and Oats gag. FFS, how did the celebs fall for this. I get people like Richard Blackman would do anything for publicity but some of the others did not need it.

[mad2000]

lol is that hall and oats?

[ReflexRich]

I think you're right, it's Hall and Oats :-)

[jberry106]

yeah I didnt get that when I saw it. now I know?! lol

[c4forumRtyrants]

A classic. An absolute classic.

[stevenuuu1212]

"There's no real evidence for it, but it IS scientific fact"

I love the way the 'NO OFFENC' logo is flashed onto the crabs body at 1:16, brilliant.

[chrisdavidi]

LOL he got foxy, lineker and coe!!!

[SixFoHopper]

I like the bit where that will smith wannabe richard blackwood is sniffing his keyboard for feremones that make him more suggestable!!!!!!

[tranceaddict85]

im talking nonce sence

[itstheoranges]

you're the crazy world of arthur brown.

you're a shrub rocketeer.

how can people be offended by this? it is satire! i despair.

[firekind1980]

you should respect old channel 4. even though all the dummies complained they had the balls to repeat this a couple of days later. its a shame big bro killed channel 4

[OutStack]

The old Channel 4 was amazing, a lot more experimental and true to its public service remit of doing things a bit differently and representing minority perspectives. The Channel 4 spirit is far from entirely lost but I wish they'd go back to sticking to it properly. Baltimora!!!

[sugarich1]

i think dr fox and gary lineker were doing it for a joke.

[sof2finchy]

No, they were interviewed years after, and realized they had been had!

[Mattblackus]

haha, love the comedy, ppl saying shit they not thinking about, truly a great comment on modern society and celebrity culture, top quality, wake up ppl, lol

[spotlitkiss]

i hate how it's only when people become parents themselves that they start getting hilariously paranoid about anything to do with children. i couldn't give a shit - and i'm not a psychopath - i did a test and came out next to 0 on the scale. lol

[spotlitkiss]

it seems like such multi-layered satire.

i was momentarily confused between this and the day today - lol i showed my youth!

[Bez1960]

I understood that the point was to raise the very real issue of how we have become a nation that is on the verge of hysteria when it comes to adults and their relationship with children. We need to take a step back and view the reality. Children who do not understand that physical contact can be healthy and psychologically beneficial, we all need a cuddle occasionally. Is it wrong for a father, mother, grandparent or an older sibling to hug younger members in a family? Innocence is sadly dead

[elbasque87]

@Bez1960 Or to quote from Dan Le Sac's song "Thou shalt always kill" - "Thou shall not think that any male over the age of 30, that plays with a child that is not their own, is a paedophile. Some people are just nice."

[CannibalWhirm]

this is good comedy, they should have this rather the little britain...

[IntrepidMoocher]

Yeah, it is scary, because it's that need to conform to society's prejudices that eventually allows atrocities to take place. Krystal Nacht, etc.

[Picnicl]

As clever as Chris Morris is, he COMPLETELY blunted the satirical point of the programme by using the names of real people, thus hurting their victims and families. Thus the prurience that he wanted to show that is attached to tabloid coverage of such subjects became rightly overshadowed by the show's complete lack of concern for real people.

[cajjer]

Who's names?

[BaileysMariner]

I like the part where the older guy says "No offence, no offence, no offence."

[sof2finchy]

lol, baltimora. and the clapping, lol.

[zazakay]

hahahaha i agree... baltimora just kills me with laughter!!!!!

[Evilgmog41]

LMFAO, cake episode was the best brass eye tho

[jimmybloodyjimmy]

ITS A FUCKIN DISGRACE...

[ThisIsRysta]

The IDEA of this sketch is as funny as fuck...

but it fails. Could have been so much better.

[rottentomatoisgood]

hahaa liked the last part!

[joeg19]

THE CRAZY WORLD OF ARTHUR BROWN

[Sarakw71]

Did anyone else notice Oates from Hall and Oates as a secret paedo lol

[GordonMorrice]

Yes, it's pictures of the actual Daryl Hall and John Oates! Staggering. I wonder if word ever got to them or their agents about this! Hilarious!

[nowthatsavid]

another form of racism! lol

[DISHOFTHEDAY69]

its scientific fact - theres no real evidence for it, but its scientific fact.

lmao, hilarious, that and the name 'shrub rocketeer.'

[coffeeshopping]

These 'celebs' and MP's were definitely NOT 'in' on the joke. With an issue like paedophillia, there's no chance they'd risk their credibility by joking about it.

Chris Morris merely sought to expose the hysteria that was prevalent in the media at the time. And what a great job he did. The Establishment didn't like that at all, and he got caned for it.

[coffeeshopping]

This is utterly hilarious. remember seeing this at the time.

[xsk12]

its a shame they dont re-run brass eye on tv anymore

it would give everyone a needed shaking up

[FRIENDLYMEXICANBOY]

go guys loosen up.... the celebs in this episode are in on the joke, you can tell (maybe with the exception of 1 or two).

I mean doctor fox talking about the crabs... and liniker reading pipe to pipe bushman (MORRIS U ARE A GENIUS).

Don't hate the celebs they're just working people like you and me... what ahrm have they ever caused on. They're are far more worse things you can be on this earth than a celebrity...

[dannybirkett]

incorrect. The celebrities aren't aware it's a joke.

[allegramente5000]

@FRIENDLYMEXICANBOY let's face it-both you and me would both gladly take these outrageous scripts on trust if we were asked to read them.

[Hemaltr0n]

chris morris is a fucking genius.

[JamesDoakes]

OMFG! celebs will read anything out, as long as it's fashionable! What a pack of fuckin, idiots...

[warlaud]

Mmmm, observe the mindless peer pressure in motion as it gracefully crashes through the floor.

[cbak12sg]

In fairness, I gather that Dr Fox and Richard Blackwood publicly said "fair cop", and admitted they'd been stung by Morris. I don't think Phil Collins took it so well, though....

[Havencheese]

"Ooh yes I wish it would rain now, yes I wish it would rain down on me now"

[gregglowrie]

The Hall and Oats pics are the funniest. 'This man is believed to have a low status job inside the music industry' haha

Also the 'theres no evidence for it, but its scientific fact!' comment by Foxy, unreal.

[OUTLANDEMPIRE]

The best thing is that there will have been people who believed this was real when it was first broadcast

[MvyMkr]

ABSOLUTE

GENIOUS!

[movingtarget1978]

My God. Dr. Fox is such a retard. How did they manage to convince him to say that. "genetically, paedophiles have more in common with crabs than they do with you or me. Now that's scientific fact. There's no real evidence for it but it's scientific fact" Jesus.

Loved this show. Almost seems like prophecy when you see how paranoid parents and the authorities are about paedophilia. You can't even take a photo of your son playing football now. Bloody ridiculous.

[outputs3]

PHILLL COLLINS! WOO

funny clip too

[hs201kf]

YOU'RE A SHRUB ROCKETEER!!!

[C0CKWEASLE]

P2PBSH :D

[calvinjones]

lol :-)

[pubtastic]

Is Doctor Fox a real doctor? I heard HE too smells of hammers......

[cerigomerjames]

unfortunately the dude has a show on British Radio. What is the world coming to??

[mcgarry47]

Unbelievable jeff

[sharpsuitedmod]

lol

"you're the crazy world of arthur brown"

[Reevesy791]

shrub rocketeer

[RH190]

What happened to Brass Eye? I've been looking it up trying to find out why they stopped the show. Anyone know?

[warlaud]

I don't know, but perhaps there's an answer mentioned or linked on the Wikipedia page for Brass Eye.

[RH190]

I already looked, it doesn't mention anything. I just heard from my cousin that it was banned after this episode was aired and wondered if anyone else had heard the same thing but according to wikipedia this episode has been aired 3 times already.

[johnny15783]

Well it must be true if its on wikipedia....

[pfive]

It recieved a record number of complaints and channel 4 attracted mass scorn when they repeated the show less than 24 hours after the original broadcast despite the viewers concerns...this might have been rubbish,but thanks to the fact that noone gives a shit it is available on DVD

[cbak12sg]

I have long wondered whether the "record number of complaints" were orchestrated in the press, who knew perfectly well that they were the ones being attacked here; think of the unforgivable campaign by the News of the World, which resulted in assaults on innocent people, including a paediatrician!

Getting a bunch of hapless celebs to look idiots was a bonus.

[warlaud]

Orchestrated, you say.. got an essay for that. Can't put links into my posts, but it's easy to find. Put "paul graham" into Google and his site should be the first hit, then locate one of his essays called 'The Submarine'. Another good one from him is 'What You Can't Say'.

About that paediatrician story.. we should be mildly skeptical. Go to the BBC website and search on "Whispering game" (by Brendan O'Neill).

[FRIENDLYMEXICANBOY]

morris is a genius and a pioneer, but most of the celebrities in this episode are in on the joke, you can tell.

and they're not all hapless, stupid celebs, they're just people working and living like you and I... they've done nothing wrong to you, they dont cause people harm.

Why is Gary Liniker an idiot... or doctor fox... they're decent people man loosen up a bit...

[velapulsar]

I think it must have been orchestrated. Everyone knew what Brass Eye was about by 2001.

The irony is that the brain dead reaction of the News of the World proved Chris Morris right beyond all reasonable doubt.
