@BestivalFan Not actually true...the Ali G character first appeared on channel 4's "11 O'Clock Show", which began in 1998..."The Day Today" aired in 1994.
Not that Cohen necessarily got the idea from this, but he was hardly the first person to mock hip hop culture either.
"Angry Boys" has a rapper character that is more likely to have been copied from Fur Q & JL B8T from "Brass Eye"...albeit 15 years later.
Youve hit all the right notes...but not necessarily in the right hors d'oeuvre...Chris Morris appeared in an advert for vaginal lubricant in 1993, whilst ona sabbatical fact finding mission to new Mexico, U.S.A. Whilst over there, he slagged off the American chanteuse & part time yodeller, Carly Simons. She was going to press charges for defamation of character. To prevent this, he agrred to sample her in his new project, 'The Day Today' So now you're the loop, Roger Ragga...xxx
No, Green Wing was shit. Fucking shit, actually. Don't try and act like I have no taste in comedy because I thought Green Wing was shite. It was just stupid irritating characters, only one of which was mildly humours at times. Nearly all its jokes were just trying to be really random to be funny, which meant not having to write a very good comedy. Oh and your last sentence there... I didn't understand what you meant, but if you want to "dig shit" on your own that's fine.
go suck a fuck, u clearly have a shit music taste, ur into the sex pistols u prick. dont tell me about radiohead, when ur into that crap. i love the way u assume im in love with them just because ive made a half arsed video with their music in it. u clearly have no reason as to why green wing isnt just mediocre shite and had to attack me personally as some sort of compensation for this.
ur a cunt.
oh and monkey dust is shit to just trying to be overly dark, and stupidly repetitive.
this is the funniest thing ever! chris morris is the funniest guy ever! the stutter after he said "you gotta kill people to respect people" is genius.
The first time I saw this clip I was a kid and I actually thought it was a real rapper! (Obviously too young to understand Jam, The Day Today or Brass Eye!)
This was just one bit in the longer Day Today music programme skit - with Chris Morris in ALL the parts - 'these killings are obviously ironic'. I only have it VHS - so I've got to keep the TV and the VCR!
keep her quiet, she's a uzi loverrr..

awesome characters, but people like Chris Morris, Steve Coogan, and of course, Armando Ianucci make me proud to be British.

green wing was a failed attempt to make ground breaking british comedy, it tried to be to quirky and was a huge pile of shit.
