Chris Morris is a genius of course put Patrick Marber's Peter O' Hanrahahanrahan is one of tre funniest comedic creations i've ever seen. His idiotic delivery is flawless. The way his confident demeanour changes to one of a scolded schoolboy after being rumbled is flawless The quality of this is incredible. It never gets old.
@@cpf6125 I know it's Brass Eye and not TDT but I love the Gay Navy Sketch. "What's wrong with being gay?" "They get up late, they nudge people when they're shooting, they insist on being seated at the captains table and they attract enemy radar." 🤣🤣
Irish people can, it is an actual surname. It's spelt O'Hanrahan It's exaggerated here seemingly for comic affect, The character is dim and feckless for some reason.
@@gruntymchunchy1527 There was a famous BBC news reporter called Brian Hanrahan around at the same time as The Day Today. I think Peter's name was probably a play on Brian's name rather than a calculated racial stereotype as you appear to be suggesting.
@@gerrabath Ah right, thanks for the context. Out of context you can imagine it doesn't sit right. Especially when the comments follow the same lines on spelling of surname etc.. I can now suppose that Brian Hanrahan's surname was just often mispronounced in news reports.
I agree...but he's a successful playwright now, having written the play and film Closer, so I suppose he doesn't have to bother with the t.v grind so much. He also directs, so I suppose you cant have everything....
i just noticed peter constantly blinks while chris has his eyes constantly open while speaking to him probably wasn't intended but it kinda explains why peter acts like a schoolboy being punished
35000 fired GM workers didn't like it, but they had to go along with it.
Get me a taxi, I’m late for my plane
“Ich nichte lichte”
35000 are 30% of the work force. They didn't like it, but they had to go along with it
"Ruf mich ein Taxi sonst verpasse ich mein Flug."
"YES!"
Peter thank you
Saying "Rotate it 180 degrees in my favour" instead of "turn it around" elevated the sketch to top tier status.
It did.
The do it too haha
he had to specify to make sure he didn't turn it upside down
Love the fact that at the bottom left of Peter's sheet you can just make out "35,000 or 3500 CHECK"
Nah, it's 35,00.
Wow what a catch!
Damn great catch ahaha
That’s big maths
Unbelievable spot!
I like how even after Peter admitted it was 3,500, the reporter still wanted him to show him the notes to chastise him lol

I love this poem
Chris: asks question that destroys Peter's entire story
Peter: ..... YES...
I feel like there’s a life in that character beyond Day Today, like there was with Partridge. Maybe if he’d just had a more realistic name...
I thought it was Tom Hardy...
Chris morris take on jeremy paxman is spot on. evern down to his contempt for the interviewee
"I don't know Chris; you tell me!" ... with a small grin
I was frowning when I pressed play, but this clip turned my mouth around 180 degrees in my favour.
Peter, You're lying in a news grave, do you know what's written on your headstone?
- News
Comedy gold
Peter, thank you.
This is my favourite sketch ever - that line slays me every time.

My favorite part
The "...news." at the end always gets me.
Peter is a great reporter, doesn't let facts get in the way of a good story.
A pioneer of fake news.
0:34 I like how he is so confident with that one.
Last-ditch effort
This almost feels unscripted, it's so real feeling of a mistake, with their banter-like back and fourth. So good
If you look closely, the note says '3500 or 35000? *CHECK*'.
Oh man thank you so much for pointing that out.
Trente percente of the workforce!
Peter, thank you x
Why is it no one can ever spell Peter O'Hanrahahanrahan's name properly?
What are you talking about, its easy. O'Hanrahahahrahan
Irish people can, it is an actual surname.
It's spelt O'Hanrahan
It's exaggerated here seemingly for comic affect,
The character is dim and feckless for some reason.

Who?
"And Rotate them 180 degrees in My Favour ...DO IT"
7 People don't like the video but they have to go along with it
The true brilliance of this bit is that today Detroit's factories actually are staffed by -10000 workers
I still say "DO IT" to this very day.
Still probably my favourite comedy series of all time. Absolute genius.
Yes!
comedy?
Brass Eye and The Day Today are head and shoulders above every other comedy/satire ever produced.
Beautifully written and executed.
"A cobweb." (Nods.)
I think this may be my favourite comedy sketch of all time.
Tom Hardy is such a good actor.
It's not
I searched for this comment :D
@@romainsavioz5466 Clearly it's him.
@@kutter_ttl6786 🤦🏻♂️
@@kutter_ttl6786 It's not Tom Hardy, it's Patrick Marber
That's the only word I want on my headstone...
N E W S
OMG I laughed so hard at how Chris just turns to the camera and smiles at the ending! OMG!
- Show me your notes.
- no!
- yes.
Peter thank you.
When Peter realises it's only 3500 workers' being sacked after all, the look in his eyes is priceless
This skit is the ultimate test of any man's poker face!
Have you seen the IRA spokesman on helium?
I just don't know how everyone didn't crack up, during that.
Why is he reporting live from the Chemical Plant zone?
I see Peter O’Hanraha-hanrahan and I click. It’s really that simple.
Patrick marber is an Oscar nominated writer.
Somehow I just found this....its so good , id rather wake up in the middle of the night and watch this instead of sleep
This has been the best thing I’ve discovered all month too lol
Especially the shipping minister “interview”
@@itwontcomeout5678 I wish they had more stuff, I'm only finding the same clips. I don't suppose there's some more hidden somewhere?
This sketch hits deep at any schoolboy who used to BS his teacher about homework 😀
And how's a cobweb going to dig you out of your numerical mess?
RIP
"News"
Peter was ahead of his time. He'd be the head of CNN nowadays.
In an endlessly quotable show, O'Hanrahahanrahan is the most quotable of all.
Never noticed that - fantastic!
I LOVE IT how they just cannot hold their laughter in.
Neither of them broke
@@SKa-tt9nm the "you tell me" smile and the "peter o'hanraha-hanrahan, live" smile at the end both looked like breaks to me.
I wish Patrick Marber would so more TV stuff, he's funny
Yeah he’s the only one that didn’t go on to have a long and storied career in television. He did a Coogan’s Run episode I remember.
He's an award-winning playwright now
Christ this is good,
Turn it 180 degrees in my favour!
I agree...but he's a successful playwright now, having written the play and film Closer, so I suppose he doesn't have to bother with the t.v grind so much. He also directs, so I suppose you cant have everything....
This Peter O'Hanrahanrahan reminds me so much of Burnt Face Man.
Peter looks like Tom Hardy in Legend.
I like how his glasses are just so over sized you can't unsee it but not too much that everyone instantly sees it
1:14 '35,000 or 3500 CHECK'
Ok - you are a must to subscribe to. You got my vote.
15 years ago, damn
How is the plant gonna function on -10000 workers?
Idk Xephya, you tell me.
“Sipping a cappuccino!”
"I'm collapsing under the sheer... I'm out, I'm out!"
Floor 107 no longer gives a particularly good view of New York! It's now part of the basement!
i just noticed
peter constantly blinks
while chris has his eyes constantly open while speaking to him
probably wasn't intended but it kinda explains why peter acts like a schoolboy being punished
“News.”
Why does Peter look like if Tom Hardy was Clark Kent
Clever
Here lies Peter O'Hanrahanrahan
"News"
“5 years ago, I lost 35,000 General Motors workers in the blink of an eye.
And the world just fucking watched”
Today, there will be no shortage of mechanics!
No shortage of wrenches! I know you understand.
Durzel thank you.
these videos started randomly popping up on my feed, i dont know who these people are but damnit i cant stop watching
Idk what this is, who invented it, or where it came from, but it made me laugh hard at 7am
Peter youve lost the news !!!
"NO"
-
Peter O'Hanrahahanrahan
I feel Peter gets mistreated here as he is as good a reporter as you will ever find on mainstream news.
Its Tom Hardy before Tom Hardy
Tom Hardy was brilliant
Watched Tom Hardy in Legend yesterday. Fantastic movie, but when he played Reggie Kray all I could see was Peter O'Hanrahanrahan
DO IT
WwooooowW this is THIRTEEN years old video. I have been sitting in front of my computer for more than THIRTEEN years. Need to switch it off for good.
Well? Did you?
@@schteeve4759 :)
The utter disappointment in "Peter Thankyou"
It's so good.
Love this character
Why does Reggie Kray look like Tom Hardy wearing glasses who in turn looks like Peter O' Hanrahahanrahan?
> News reporter
> Gets asked questions
> "I don't know, you tell me"
And then 20 years later... you get the 12 bottles of bleach scene in 4 lions... I hope chris morris never loses his touch
@Durzel Not necessarily...as far as I'm aware, all of the user uploaded Brass Eye episodes haven't been taken down.
Not my best moment.
One of the funniest things I’ve ever seen
Best. Comedy. Sketch. Ever.
hahaha the cobweb!
What will it say on your headstone? "news"
"I don't want to hear anything else out of your mouth"
"..news"
Peter Hanananananhhhannn brilllllinaaanntttt
Is there any way to get a complete collection of these?
? They released a dvd of the complete series if you want to see sheer genius meet pure art.....
Mass redundancy at an unprecedented scale.
news?
PETER, THE NEXT TIME YOU CROSS THE ROAD, DON'T BOTHER LOOKING!
How have I never seen this before? Lol
And just like that...Sky News happened.
"news!"
Is this Mr Denholm in the beginning?
A younger version of him, before he started his tech company?
The same actor yes
1:24 YES
This is not accurate, the anchor is checking the facts.
AND ROTATE THEM 180 DEGREES IN MY FAVOUR
Tom Hardy was excellent in this role
NEWS
Peter O'Hanrahanrahan
19XX-2006
News!
Live in Detroit but clearly has the Twin Towers/New York City behind him lol
"Do you know what's written on your headstone?"
..............
..............
"News".....
He looks like Tom Hardy’s geeky brother
It's actually spelt Peter O' HanraHAhanrahan
Peter should have NEWS on his headstone because it will die with him. Probably.
