Selected Ambient Works 2 had been used in many a creepy programme. Also a lot of David Firth stuff. Side note, incredible album. Better than vol 1 by far
I love the way Mr Jardine flicks his tongue like a lizard when we first meet him, genius! - and she’s a bit uncomplicated introduces one of the darkest scenes on British TV, simply brilliant.
The thing I used to love about Jam was that, though a lot of the sketches are out there and on the borders of the surreal, but some are just enough in the borders of plausible reality to make you think. And, actually, I find a sketch like this more disturbing than say, the famous baby in the T.V sketch. Like all the best surrealist art, it is its relation to reality that makes the distortion relevant and disturbing.
The actor Mark Heap is so good at playing creepy pervs & freeks, he gets it so right i'm laffing cringing & kinda being crosed out all at the same time. So wrong but fucking funny, when he's slaping the blokes head.
He’ll always be the bumbling and high-strung Dr. Statham from “Green Wing” to me … but after watching “Jam” I’ll never think of him the same way again 😒
All these years later and all the jam sketches hold up. This particular one though, I can’t think of anything else where Mark Heap has been this perfect..
Nothing like this would ever be allowed on TV again. The woke crowd would explode. Very ballsy for early 2000s as well. Chris Morris is our British Kubrick.
The way Mark Heap delivers “I’ve actually had an offer” is terrifying. Just this gleeful little demon man who’s completely in control of this situation and doesn’t even have to pretend to be nice about it.
Are you kidding transvestite are going into primary Schools and kids are being paraded round gay clubs covered in makeup....really..outrageous this is fiction
Yea you are not alone in that sentiment.. in fact a lot of people felt this skit and baby boiler pushed the envelope a bit too far... where this skit finally culminates to, almost pushes a line for me... but admittedly it works as part of the skit and doesn't feel shoehorned.. (in some weird way it can feel like a commentary on the lengths people on the property ladder go just to feel they can get what they feel is a slice of luxury... ) fantastically morbid stuff
Mark Heap is famous for playing creeps and weirdos, but I love how completely he throws himself into it here. The way he enunciates "legal guardian", as though he can't believe his luck, is amazing. SO wrong, it's almost right.
The guy selling the house, when we first see him on the phone, he has exactly the same demeanour as Rik Mayall's character in Bottom. All pervy and giggly.
RoadKillzine I agree, Richard is more innocent in the way his sexual perversion is sort of childishly ignorant. This character seems to be more perverted in as you said a sinister way.
God I miss this type of comedy, we live in a time (2024) where people find Friends problematic... just imagine their reaction to Jam. Really wish there was more Comedy like this now, beyter than the Marry Whitehouse mk2 shite we get these days.
@kmtkmy The Jam Sketch is called "Gang raped" on youtube. Tha'ts the one with "Aching for a fuck" I could not find the Big Train sketch on youtube. It is Big Train. I don't know the proper name for the sketch either, but I know which one you're talking about.
would you knock another 10000 off for 25 sessions. things did get rough in ireland please god. and aphex twin in the background. chris morris in genius mode
There's so many great things about this scene. Firstly, the husband clearly wants the house more than she does. He's happy to sacrifice her for the house but when he discovers he'll be involved, he backs off. Then his wife gets her own back by saying him being involved is okay. Then, at 3:31 he throws the remnants of his drink away and they twitch, suggesting their experiences with him is horrid and they think he is totally maladjusted. Finally, they involve a third party because they figure they've come so far and don't want to walk away. Them telling him the husband is the legal guardian is the worst thing they could have said because he can then extort further sex from them and they can't go to the police, since they'd discover they prostituted a mentally disabled person for personal gain. To conclude - does he sell them the house? Probably, probably not. But if it was me, never would I get involved in this. Common sense really.
+Lee MillsRaggio Wonderfull analysis. I do not have anything quite as succinct to add other than around the time of Jaaaaam I was smoking a lot of..."bad things" and watching this was not a good idea. However after comming out of the dark I can appreciate the work.
Hey! cam100000 They cut the audio from this, but if you send me the file that I can upload, I will do so with a title like: 'Credit Crunch house buying (option 032)'
Brilliant! Note the great music they play (Aphex Twin in this one) as a background to their sketches. Dark, devious and disgusting; I wouldn't have it any other way. IT Crowd is okay, but seems weak and diluted to me.
i've never seen that but it's now my favourite chris morris sketch. it's also made me want to own an expensive house so i can get some good 'sex arrangement'. messin.
The psychotic acting in this is genius, this show was way too under rated
The ending is one of the darkest things i have ever seen....
It's Aphex Twin. BTW all 3 in order are:
Bomb The Bass 'Somewhere'
Aphex Twin 'Untitled' Selected Ambient Works Vol.2 CD2/TR.6 (Sliding Nails)
Kensuke Shina 'Lounge Music'
Cheers!
tracklist is on point in nearly every sketch

Mr Lizard
This is my favorite Jam sketch, which probably makes me a terrible person.
This comment would fit on almost any Jam sketch.
"This isn't right, you know?"
"...I know."
I love the use of the word "session" in this clip
Immaculate isn't it?

Yeah his facial expressions when he's talking about the "other offer" are something else.
I was wondering if it was Jim (Friday Night Dinner) when I heard the voice!
He’ll always be the bumbling and high-strung Dr. Statham from “Green Wing” to me … but after watching “Jam” I’ll never think of him the same way again 😒
Typical housebuying experience- you think you've done a deal and someone moves the goalposts.
It's horrible process.
"She's been fed..." Great line.
the oral sessions on the ladder, the bloke getting slapped on the back on the head, hahaha quality.
All these years later and all the jam sketches hold up. This particular one though, I can’t think of anything else where Mark Heap has been this perfect..

Very ballsy for early 2000s as well. Chris Morris is our British Kubrick.
@@CircleofShit this got complaints when it came out too lol, it was always controversial
That push he gives her at the end is the most horrific
"The Day Kilroy lost his mind" is the personal favourite, I met Chris Morris on the Tube today. was made up- hence the re visit to Jam
Spent ages googling the above but not found under the exact search term.
It can, however, be found here:
ua-cam.com/video/keCUoJK4MCg/v-deo.html
I was so looking forward to today's session...
So dark, so so dark. But also hilarious.
this Aphex track is brilliant
Morris ignores the boundaries of good taste and common decency, as does humanity in general.
Morris at his sickest and best. Miles ahead of everyone else.
This happened to us last year! Sellers market really at the time
Haha. Wonder what is happening during Covid lol. Morris needs to come back!
Mr Lulch. Hester Twunt. Dr Basingstoke. Love the Jam names.
why does mark heap always play the creepier characters. he’s brilliant at it but jeez
I think this is more of a satire of those middle class types that will forsake all principle just so they can say they are homeowners.
@Pnoch Eowell Yep but they would be the first to also say no person is illegal and diversity is our strength.
so you came back to the same comment you made 6 and a half years later?
@@festusbojangles7027 after somebody replied yes?
That is not satire. If I could I would.... so desperately want to live in my own home.
This is either the funniest show in the world or the scariest, depending on what sketch you happen to be watching.
God I love Mark Heap
Henry HenryHenry ... he’s brilliant
Mr Lizard
@@KarlHamilton Another... Mr. Lizard

The worst most hideous piece of television in history....so damn awesome.
this video has been watched 44 times a day since Feb 23, 2007
Very good maths Chris!!!
@@richestgeeza7681 😂
The deranged power move of taking one sip of wine and then spilling the rest on the carpet
If only the Sunday night viewing audience of Lark Rise to Candleford could see this...
This is monstrous. It deserves some kind of comedy Oscar
both sketch AND acting are great in this one!!!
There’s a current case in Las Vegas against a landlord who included a “sex contract” in a leasing agreement. Closer to Jam everyday
How many sessions?
Used to watch jam on a comedown after raving on X. What a headfuck. Especially if you watch jaaaam, the even wierder edit
...It's when he stuffs Louise through the front door that cracks me up!
This disgusting/outrageous/gruesome. Was this actually broadcast on television?? Gasp! Morris is a perverted genius.
Keyboard Dancers he's had far, far worse on TV than this
@@pchmm Quadrospazzed on a lifeglug.
First time I saw it was late on channel 4. I'd have to say it's the worst in my opinion.
Dave Cochrane nah I think jam is as bad as it gets for Morris.
Are you kidding transvestite are going into primary Schools and kids are being paraded round gay clubs covered in makeup....really..outrageous this is fiction
Wrong, for all the right reasons. Dark shit, beautifully executed...
One of the best comedy bits ever
Probably the best sketch of all time
This is in my opinion the most disturbing sketch from Jam.
Got to be the boiler-baby for me
Yea you are not alone in that sentiment.. in fact a lot of people felt this skit and baby boiler pushed the envelope a bit too far... where this skit finally culminates to, almost pushes a line for me... but admittedly it works as part of the skit and doesn't feel shoehorned..

I've been to dinner parties with people like this.
Dark. Very dark. I like it.
I don't know how I got here,but I'm here now.
That is absolutely sick.
I fucking loved it!
when this was on tv...it scarred my mind forever, if only jam were still around...

@RoadKillzine I don't see any similarity at all to be honest.
Quite a dark sketch but nice to see it had a happy ending.
I think you're wrong. This one and the one about the baby plumber are the funniest.
Ph my gof the baby plumber is grim but I love it
mr lizard lol
Pure debauchery. Brilliant 👏
haha, bag-piping. Superb.
He is incredible
God I miss this type of comedy, we live in a time (2024) where people find Friends problematic... just imagine their reaction to Jam.
Really wish there was more Comedy like this now, beyter than the Marry Whitehouse mk2 shite we get these days.
The music? I can't place it...
One of the darkest sketches ever..
mark heap is amazing.
I'm so stoned right now and this is scaring the shit outta me
Has she had any children?
Most disturbing and hilarious shit ever, BAG-PIPING! LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
she's actually saying 'quite a good mouth, yes.'
jam isnt just about humour it is about being wierd and disturbing!
chris morris....what a man
who does the music on this one? 3:31 >
Shes been fed lol
this is amazing!
Jim is a lot sicker than we thought
aphex twin and dark comedy YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Haha this was amazing, thank you so much for sharing :)
mark heap I salute you!
BRILLIANT! LOVE IT! JAM RULES!
Making this compulsory would solve the UK housing crisis overnight. Or something.
whats the name of the track?
Aphex Twin - window sill
Just imagine today a sketch being 8 minutes long.
would you knock another 10000 off for 25 sessions. things did get rough in ireland please god. and aphex twin in the background. chris morris in genius mode
What sort of arrangement?
A... *sex* arrangement
He'd want sex in return for dropping the price.
Classic :)
my girlfriend isn't into bagpiping so I cant wait to get onto the property ladder!
Mark Heap was born for thid role haha

Thanks for that pointless 'explanation', Captain Obvious.
"But if it was me, never would I get involved in this. " you are obviously not middle class.
Any chance you could analyse Del Boy falling through the bar in a similar fashion?
Well, it is a rather nice house...

Doesn't it feel like Chris Morris is doing a huge social experiment to find out who's fucked up and who isn't? still love it......
9 more sessions?
I do love this sketch. It's simply delightful.
Mark Heap is amazing
Thats pretty out there man.
God, imagine trying to get a place in 2023...
Made me look at Amelia Bullmore in a whole new light :) she is attractive though.
£830 per shag pretty expensive
this is pure evil and funny as fuckkkk
I suppose I won't get any reply, but does anyone know the music that starts playing around 1:00?
aphex twin
same here could not find this track around 1:00
25 sessions...i suppose so!
Chris Morris is a fucking legend.
I think Louise might be the same character from Four Lions.
definitely she almost reprised her role from the "thick people" jam sketch :-)
Yes, it is. Julia Davis.
Yeah Julia Davis is always playing simpletons
Brilliant! Note the great music they play (Aphex Twin in this one) as a background to their sketches.
Dark, devious and disgusting; I wouldn't have it any other way. IT Crowd is okay, but seems weak and diluted to me.
i've never seen that but it's now my favourite chris morris sketch. it's also made me want to own an expensive house so i can get some good 'sex arrangement'. messin.
9 more sessions for 50 grand? what a bargain!
Poor little Louise.
:'(
Honestly this sketch wouldn't work half as well without Mark Heap.
