Warning
Morris is known for often highly controversial yet intelligent comedy. He was fired by Radio Bristol, with accounts claiming that he had either been excessively abusive to a caller or had talked and possibly eaten over a news broadcast. However, the incident in which he supposedly released helium into a news studio was part of a prepared sketch and did not lead to his suspension or dismissal. | ||||

Brass Eye |
Series 1 : 7 episodes - 30 minutes each. Animals Drugs Science Sex Crime Decline Paedophile - 2001 Special
A satire on tabloid television, the ascendancy of the celebrity class and, more generally, the culture of stupidity, is arguably the most subversive television comedy ever made, and one the funniest. Morris triumphantly shatters the myth of celebrity as a rich stream of unwitting victims emerge exposed as the idiots they are. |

Jam |
Series 1 : 6 episodes - 25 minutes each. Jam Ham Spam Ram Cam Jaaaaam
A collection of bleakly dark comedy sketches pushing the boundaries of taste, decency and television in general, shot using new and different techniques and fading slowly in and out of each other against a slow musical soundtrack. Regular themes include death, insanity and, most often of all, the medical profession. |

JAMM : Radio Show & CD release : 21 sketches - 60 minutes total. Blue Jam Intro Doc Phone Lamaq Sting 4ft Car Suicide Journalist Acupuncture ...plus 15 more titles.
Blue Jam was an ambient radio comedy programme produced by Chris Morris. It aired on BBC Radio 1 in the early hours of the morning from 1997 to 1999. The programme gained cult status due to its unique mix of surreal monologue, music, synthesised voices, heavily edited broadcasts and recurring sketches. Morris himself delivered disturbing monologues, one of which was revamped and made into the BAFTA-winning short film, My Wrongs 8245 - 8249 and 117 (see below). |

My Wrongs |
My Wrongs 8245-8249 and 117
A satire of British news programmes. It parodies the 'hard-hitting' Gulf War-era style of journalism, as well as mocking sports journalism, weather reports, American news programmes, business reports, soap operas, 'vox pops', and many other targets. Adapted from a monologue in his "Blue Jam" radio series, Chris Morris' first short film is a haunting black comedy about a man who no longer uses his name because he's decided he's ceased to deserve one, and a dog called Rothko who says he is the man's lawyer. As reality bleeds into hallucination, Rothko decides to take the man for a walk... |

The IT Crowd |
Series 1 : 6 episodes - 25 minutes each.
Includes outtakes and deleted scenes. Roy and Moss are two IT staff working for a big company. But despite the size of the company, the two seem banished to the basement of the building. However, they seem to enjoy their locked-away existence, occasionally being tortured by moronic staff asking why their computer won't work, which is usually answered with, "Have you tried turning it off and on again?" The characters are likable, and the script is a joy. |
