I don't think Chris Morris has done anything I don't like. I've actually been listening to Blue Jam a lot the past week.

Brass Eye is 10/10.

Really wish there was a program since which so viciously and accurately lampooned everything and every one in society.

Even the transitions were hilarious. Morris is a genius.

britbong comedy fucking stinks

>le deconstructing the joke to the point of absurdity

fuck off

last week someone posted some britfag doing a sketch/pseudocumentary that did a send up of the idea of bottled water as some sort of top notch modern comedy. at the end they had a false 4th wall break where the staff was amazed at water coming out of a faucet.

i mean holy fuck, can you beat a dead horse any further? BOTTLED WATER!? fucking family guy tier. british humor is "dude we understand the structure of a joke enough to subvert it but we're so out of touch we can't do anything with that structure other than observe it lmao"

holy fuck it's awful

Agreed.

As for today, well, Nathan Barley kind of seemed to predict a lot of stuff that only became prevalent a few years after it aired.

I also think the MeowMeowBeenz episode of Community was pretty spot on satire.

The problem is that the modern left isn't funny any more. It takes itself far too seriously, and instead of lampooning people and things it just whines and complains.

I'm on the right but I find Spitting Image hilarious, it's reasonably balanced and all of the caricatures it has are recognisable and funny. I wouldn't call it subtle, but it's at least clever.

Nowadays political satire is saying "Tories are cunts aren't they?", cue laughter.

This is eternally my favourite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1rJW2P2rFY

We have the Mitchell and Webb look and Peep Show, which sort of provides that kind of satire. The Apprentice sketch was particularly hilarious if you're into that type of humour.
