  • is the guy meant to be a parody of John Walsh? i'm a bit to young to remember tv from the early 2000s that well :/

  • lol, is this the one with the line "like dennis potter in blue velvet"

  • I shot myself in my own head!

  • 0:40

  • The reaction by the sensationalist press at the time was as hilarious, possibly because Morris planned and knew it would happen

  • gunishment.

  • Shut it, you slags!

  • These men have chosen the way of the...animal

  • He sounds like McNulty.

  • @TheArtsBabe, I really can't understand a single word of your comment because none of the words are spelt correctly.

  • i reely dnt understand wat ur guyses prob is

    im not usualyy sensitvie at all but this is a very horror filled sub its like murder nobody jokes abt ppl shooting or stabbing s o to deth this shudnt be any diff if uk a t abt this ud know there the same

  • @TheArtsBabe So, the menaing of the satire in this is totally lost on you?

  • @Murrangurk2 She can't spell death, what do you think?

    :D

  • @TheArtsBabe Not sure if troll or just plain stupid...

  • @Itscaj i think its troll

  • @Itscaj i think its troll

  • @TheArtsBabe In english please.

  • At 0:34 are they practicing shooting bear mace at genitalia? Fucked up.

  • Many Americans would watch this and think it was real.

    No joke.

  • @TheReddwarff100 Judging by the reaction of many British tabloids it's not just Americans. Stupid people are everywhere.

  • @MylesMore4U

    Spot on comment,

    I can see a stupid person from my window now, what a doughnut.

  • Gunishment is my Steam name :D oh brass eye, never likes of before nor since!

  • @Elastane

    Great steam name - mines gamertech I feel stupid now cause your user name is way better than mine.

  • " ....I was one for Christ sake...."

  • What's the leading cause of pedophilia? Sexy kids.

  • This is the ONE thing we DIDN'T want to happen.

  • They dont deserve PUNISHMENT

    They deserve GUNISHMENT LOL

  • FAKE

  • @enigma19833 No shit. It's called satire.

  • @enigma19833 Your powers of deduction are immense.

  • The 12 that disliked this deserve gunishment.

  • the 10 people who dislike this are Paedo's!

  • Isn't this 'to catch a predator' 10 years before it was actually made.

  • Incredible

  • they don't deserve punishment...they deserve gunishment. absolute genius.

  • LMFAO

  • Adam Carolla also said something about pedophile island on Loveline when he was still on the show. Except his version was an island full of pedophiles and a plane with boy scouts crashed on the island and it was sort of like Lord of the Flies with countless pedophiles.

    I wonder if he got it from Chris Morris. I'm pretty sure the Loveline show with that was aired in the early 2000.

  • what is the name of the real guy that morris is taking the piss out of?

    he is a legend!

  • @hughbose I think it's John Bunnell, the genius behind World's Wildest Police Videos.

  • @ElDudeBrother cheers man that guy is my hero!

  • pedophile island lol

  • They don't deserve punishment, they deserve gunishment!

  • this deserved a facebook group. i complied.

  • good if a show like this was really on

  • you can see Charlie brooker had a hand in the script

  • @badhead Is that true? Never knew that but your right no surprise.

  • i dont think this is a piss take of the yanks, its just that if it was done with british accents and clips, it wouldn't have been as funny.

  • An ex sex offender.

  • Nah its funnier with ex because it's so much more suggestive

  • I think thats implied.

  • its bizarre and depressing that Morris' briliant outlandish satire on the media is getting increasingly like a prediction.

    this basically predicts to catch a predator but in doing that shows how far television is sinking. this was a far fetched joke at the time, its actually happening now!!!

  • Yes, this aired before the 'reality TV' epidemic forced rational people everywhere to dispense with their sets.

  • @mytimetravellingdog spot on comments there.News programmes frequently resemble day today or brass eye now and i recall watching DT/BE in '94,'97 and hoping they were nowhere near as accurate as i felt they might be.

    still at least there are satirists of the wit and fearlessness of morris around....though soon there will be nothing left to satirise as reality itself and its media adjunct slides into a black hole of ludicrousness.

  • @mytimetravellingdog Actually it’s a parody on the show called Manhunter made more similar to catch a predator, which obviously did not exist back then.

  • @mytimetravellingdog :

    Before the N.O.W stuff came out I would be inclined to agree with that .... but now you have the power to stand on the street and, righteously (no matter what religion you are) scream "FUCKING HYPOCRITE" into anyone purchasing said FILTH .... must come as some bonus.

    FUCK News International

  • I saw this documentary. It was really good and by the end of the show, the guy had killed the pedophile in everyone.

  • He takes the piss out of everyone lol, its yanks this time yes

  • is this a pisstake of yanks?

  • Yup, and a damn good one at that!

  • these men have sacrificed their right to a life without pain!

  • GUNISHMENT!!

  • If you didnt already know, Brass Eye, like The Day Today with Chris Morris and his co hosts made realistic looking comedy satire programmes shown late at night..... if you even start to think Oh yeah man.... this is fake, it means its worked AGAIN. Just like Ali G and Borat.

  • Well, no shit.

  • anyone who leaves a comment saying 'clearly fake' is showing complete stupidity by showing their lack of understanding of satire

  • Lol, I love you.

  • il take that as a yes

  • It's not meant to be Graham Norton. Bt it's an imitation of the Channel 4 announcer

  • i like little girls

  • they make me feel so good

  • Chris Morris is a genius

  • What's going to happen? :D

  • sounds more like either ant or dec ^_^

  • Are you fucking serious?!?!? Everyone knows this shit;though IT IS NOT an excuse for their behaviour,paedophiles,that is. It would appear that you are misguided and/or misinformed. Just because your life was or is shit  does,by no means necessitate the fact that you are required make someone else's life the same pile of shit from which you came. Your point of view is extremely naive and idiotic. Besides,this is a comedy program,not a pulpit upon which to preach your ignorant theories.

  • well in that case you must help me asap!

    oh and dont forget the lube...

  • classic

  • i was one for christs sake

  • funniest bit

  • Comment removed

  • I love that shot of the battleship!

  • Because they're using a battleship and its weaponery to take out the pedos.

    Funny

  • lol!

  • Hmmm I wonder where they got the idea for MILF island on 30 Rock from.

  • GUNISHMENT

  • You gotta love that last shot of him blasting off into the mist LOL

  • soon after this was shown, USA tv-bosses came-up with 'To catch a Predator' ... LOL

    look-it-up it ya isnt aware!

  • haha, I wasn't being serious with what I wrote in my previous message.

  • I know how they look, i know how they think, I was one for Christ sake!

  • i couldn't even tell that he was trying to do one.

  • its just a man with a scottish accent, he isnt tryna do an accent

  • That's a British accent you 'nana.

  • Comment removed

  • @youknowituk Jeez, sorry. It sort of sounds like an attempt at an American accent, which is what the other guy in the video is doing.

  • "They deserve gunishment" Genius

  • my uncle cholvis raped me

  • Hi, I'm Sheriff John Bunnel.

  • "We put a hundred children on an island with an ex-offender, with cameras everywhere!  I wonder what's going to happen?"

  • loled so hard when I saw this

  • Hey! Yu rite reel guud. I bet yur idears arr just as guuud. Dickhead.

  • you deserve GUNISHMENT.

  • Very subversive and also very funny indeed.

  • "who pray sex on our childREN"

  • Somewhere in America a FOX channel executive is taking notes.

  • Now that DID make me giggle :D

  • @Garsideffxi HAHAHAHAH wait......

  • Whenever I think of Morris saying "... What's going to happen?" I collapse. Funny beyond the call of duty.

  • this is the funniest thing ive ever seen, some people think its genuine

  • Lol.. GUNISHMENT!!!!

  • gunishment XD

  • LOL!

  • Paedophile island, hahaha. The most horrifying idea for a reality show in the world!

  • look at his EYE! AAAAHAHAHA!!!

  • They dont deserve punishment, they deserve gunishment!!

  • The scary thing is - this was satire back in 2001, but "pedofile island" is the kind of thing Channel 4 would almost try now. Or at least think about. That's how amoral British telly has got! TV execs need some gunishment!

    Come back Chris Morris we need you!

  • Morris will be back, he's making tv film about terrorists.

  • gunishment:0

  • A lot of what both Brasseye and Day Today did well is forshadow the way TV has headed, mostly via sheer exaggeration of TV at the time. This skit for example was made a good 5 years before To Catch A Predator.

  • sheriff john burnell?

  • till i shot myself in my own head!

  • YEAH I WOULD LIKE TO KILL THE PEDO IN ME

  • YEAH I WOULD LIKE TO KILL THE PEDO IN ME

  • Too bad they never made pedophile island Huntley might have liked to watch that in Jail

  • genius!!

  • they deserve gunishment

  • "Men who have sacrificed the right to a life without pain!"

  • "i no how they look, i no how they think, i was one for crist sake!"

  • 100 kids and an ex offender on an island full of cameras!

    lmao

  • BRASS EYE...

    GUTS I SWEAR!!!!!!

  • for chrissake!

  • looks like american tv

  • YOU FUCKING TOOL

  • HA HA

  • The USS Iowa bit just fits so perfectly

  • Gunishment!

  • This was one of the first comedy type shows I started watching - It still makes me laugh

  • Pedo-Island. HAHAHAHAHAHA!

  • Genius is the right word...Chris Morris rules.

    "Men who have sacrificed the right to a life without pain"

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

    The momentary edit of the warship is funny as hell too.

  • To Catch A Predator anyone?

  • "I was one for Christ's sake"

    LOL! Remember when this first came out, near burst a giggley bag. chris Morris is a genius.

  • One of the funniest things ever.

  • i loved how the tabloids went apeshit over this episode , completely missing the irony in there acting exactly how chris morris portrayed them in the show. Hilarious

  • not punishment but gun-ishment

  • The object of Chris Morris's exercise was his way of rightly attacking the word's media methods in reporting paedophilia - garish, overblown and in the business of getting audiences by playing on the public's disgust for paedophiles, by making out that THEY (the media) are concerned! Remember The Daily Star? Mike S.

  • This should be a real program!!!!!!!!

  • it was.

    it got banned.

  • my bad, thought you were on about brass-eye

  • yeah. a program literally of The pedo-files. with chris morris starring in it and seeing pedos being blown up by ships..it will get excellent ratings.

  • I love the fact they used a battleship fireing to show how they deal with Pedofiles.

  • gunishment pure quality

  • I love the end bit, a peado, an island full of kids and cameras, whats going to happen?

  • rofl...thats how it is

  • "Whats going to happen??"

    Hahaha!!

  • "I shot myself in my own head!" LOL

  • Is that a pic of Chris when he was a kid?

  • this was the only decent thing on channel 4! fucking bring it back, now we have to watch fucking big brother instead, have u got the animals episode? i want to see the whore dogs

  • amazing. =D

  • I wish I could see this here in new York. But like some other user said, they probably wouldn't broadcast it here.

  • "They don't deserve punishment, they deserve gun-ishment" Classic

  • hey... lol

  • Moyles???

    If you look at shows on American TV now like "To Catch A Predator", this looks less like satire and more like an eerie vision of the future.

  • That was actually tame compared to some of the stuff that

    Moyles has done. Although there have been moments hwere I have thought he's gone too far. And I'm pretty liberal.
