Actually, The Onion was founded in 1988, so it almost predates Brass Eye by a decade. Not that it matters though. I find them both humourous and do not see the point in trying to choose one or the other as being better.
@airjoe49 couldn't have put it better me self. I like the onion for the american approach and I enjoy Brass Eye, The Day Today, and On the Hour for the british approach. ricky gervais put it brilliantly when it comes to humor from over the pond. brits use irony more and i love it but americans enjoy themselves more. great stuff all around, cheers!
@blueluny easy there now, do you mean the american version of the office or the english....the UK version needs no hate as it went against all other sitcoms etc, the USA version is just plain rubbish
@lockoshamface The office WAS / IS good. But I'm just saying that this had more to say, and was harder for MORE people to understand and appreciate. To whit: Those that don;t like this, but like the office, probably don't know why the office is really good, and just think its cos of "that bloke what does the silly dance....hur hur"
@blueluny i totally get you and see where you are coming from, Brass Eye just would never be main stream "comedy"....its just too dark for mainstream imo but thats the catch 22 i guess right
@blueluny Well, the office was good, however. I think the issue is that Gervais was largely inspired by those fantastic minds from The Day Today (i.e Steve Coogan and Chris Morris.) Two of the best satirists in the UK if not the world. I think the problem was that it was really aired at a time when it was popular only with niche groups. If it was aired today it would be HUGE but the question is, would it be as funny? Certainly wouldn't be risqué by today's standards.
@dandaman62 please see my other comments. The office WAS / IS good. But I'm just saying that this had more to say, and was harder for MORE people to understand and appreciate. To whit: Those that don;t like this, but like the office, probably don't know why the office is really good, and just think its cos of "that bloke what does the silly dance....hur hur"
Have you seen her website? She goes on about how brilliant her family were because she had an aunt who stole a chalice from the local church and she had an uncle who spent all his time writing to soap manufacturers to complain.
Ummm...no, it doesn't. I mean, I love Brass Eye, but that statement simply isn't true. You could even read The Onion online before Brass Eye first screened in '96, let alone the print edition.
"Just before it died it washed its little face" Thats nothing. I used to have a dog and whilst on its death bed it admitted to sealing to stealing some sausages and asked me for my forgiveness. Needless to say I felt compelled to assist his exist from this world. Actually come to think of it that wasnt my dog
If you were to graph animals abused vs. what makes people cruel vs. intelligence of either party, the results are so unreadable, you may as well draw a bunch of foxheads on sticks
oddly enough, when you do this, the word "cruel" starts flashing!
Oh no wonder they put a stop to this show... bit close to the bone. People might actually wake up and think the news is also complete and utter bollox.
Wouldn't surprise me that some dumb fuckers watched this and thought it was real. LOL
See, this is comedy that really works. here's an issue i genuinly feel for and yet i'm laughing at the absurdities of both sides thanks to the genius of this programma
