I like how they went out of their way to get the gang together and record some new material just because they couldn't pass up on the comedic opportunity of the worst terrorist attack in history.
"The tower I'm in is collapsing, I'm collapsing, Chris, under the sheer... I've managed.. I'm out! I'm out!.. Uuh.. I'm very.. fu.. rumd.. I'm not there." Great "corresponding", Peter.
You’ve heard of people being told to not go to work that day? It’s bollocks of course. But what about someone being told to travel there from the UK? Did Morris know? The hi fivers knew
Oh, bless. I live in NYC. On 9/11, I was a few miles north in the Chelsea neighborhood watching in disbelief on 18th Street and 6th Avenue as the North Tower fell. This track is the first time I've laughed at anything related to that event. Kudos to Chris and Armando.

@@markdaly1903 I think he was interviewed relatively recently and when asked if he would do something like this now, he cited that the way modern politics/news is, it is basically a parody of itself anyway. Brexit related headlines these days can look like they've been written by The Daily Mash and the actual goings on in government can seem like a plot for an episode of The Thick of It.
This is brilliant, it's quite amazing that he's taken a subject matter where if anyone makes any kind of comedy about it they are slaughtered and everyone jumps on the bandwagon but he's managed to make it so no one can possibly complain or be 'offended' about this.
"What is a hijacked airliner and does it crash?" I've wet myself laughing. No matter where you travel in the World, nobody does satirical humour better than the Brits. Love it.
I kind of love that the humour of this isn't really at the expense of the people who died in the attacks but at Peter O'Hanraha-hanrahan, who is once again shown up by Chris for his incompetence.
I don't think it's the slightest bit offensive. The joke throughout The Day Today was that Peter was always getting the news wrong, so they thought "what's biggest most world-changing event he could lie about?". It's less of a joke about 9/11 more just again natural peak/end point for a long-running joke.
Leave it to the genius of Chris Morris to create humour about September 11th without being gross or disrespectfull to those who died. Excellent stuff :)
'Well I-ah. Ah. Oh my God. Er, one of the towers has collapsed, fortunately not the one I'm in, the other one, the one I'm in is, is, one of the tow-the other tow-THE TOWER I'M IN IS COLLAPSING!'
"BE QUIET!" !!!!!!!!! Absolutely epic! After I picked myself up off the floor and breathed in again I find this sketch rather moving. I think that makes it genius.
A small note of pedantry : Morris is telling O'Hanraha-Hanrahan to keep watching a recording of the footage, whereas O'Hanraha-Hanrahan ends up treating it as live. The game's up Peter!
DTD was an effing brilliant show and should never have left the scrrens. Brass Eye too. There's nothing but bollocks on tv these days! I love Peter's delivery of ...."the other tower is collapsing....the tower I"M in is collapsing! I'm collapsing Chris, under the sheer....I've managed....I'm out! I'm out! Err....I'm very f....run....I'm not there". F**king brilliant!
@ascolti It is Chris Morris and Patrick Marber. It was an easter egg extra on the Day Today special edition DVD. There's also two with Morris and Steve Coogan as Alan Partridge, plus one other which is a reunion of the cast, such as Peter, Valerie Sinatra and Brant, the visual cartoonist from The Daily Telegraph & Partridge.
This was done for the DVD release of The Day Today in 2004. Members of the original cast got back together to do some easter eggs, like this one.
I like how they went out of their way to get the gang together and record some new material just because they couldn't pass up on the comedic opportunity of the worst terrorist attack in history.
Yes, actually
"So the meetings are going ahead?!"
"...That's right Chris..."
love that moment of hesitation, like he's realised something might be going on
I think Peter's expense claims might need quite a thorough checking by Chris when he gets back to Blighty !
"Floor 107 no longer gives a particularly good view of New York" lmao
“Well it does from where I’m sitting Chris.”
This is sooo wholesome 😳❤️
"Peter,you've added nothing".
"It's now part of the basement."
"The tower I'm in is collapsing, I'm collapsing, Chris, under the sheer... I've managed.. I'm out! I'm out!.. Uuh.. I'm very.. fu.. rumd.. I'm not there."
Great "corresponding", Peter.
"..... I slept longer than I anticipated"
Just terrific delivery.
Jet lag from the UK, can’t blame him.
My favourite line is spoken before the Peter sketch even begins.
'What is a Hijacked Airliner, and how does it "crash"?'
@makadeni123 It is there, at 0:06!
@makadeni123 Just one of those Peter O'Hanraha Hanrahan moments!
Like this. BOOOOOOOOOOM!
The way he says "crash" in the nonchalant news reporter way
@@programmer1840 CRASH
I bet Chris secretly wished Peter hadn't overslept.
He hadn't overslept, he slept longer than he'd anticipated
I think he quite openly wished that.
You’ve heard of people being told to not go to work that day? It’s bollocks of course. But what about someone being told to travel there from the UK? Did Morris know?
The hi fivers knew
‘You overslept?’
‘I slept longer than I’d anticipated’
"Floor 107 no longer gives a particularly good view of the city."
"Well it does from where I'm sitting."
"It's now part of the basement."
Chris: Whats German for 30%
Peter: Trenta percenta
Trenter percenter. It's German, not Spanish.

@@mcspeedypantsjr5713 that's the joke
Ich... nichten lichten

the brief slience before "You're at the World Trade Centre?!" kills me
I love the way Morriss dismissively says "Peter, you've added nothing."
And shortly afterward screams "be quiet!!!!!!!" lolz
"The tower I'm in is collapsing! I'm collapsing, Chris...under the sheer...I've managed - I'M OUT!" XD
"Peter, you've added nothing." - Pretty much sums up 24-hour rolling news coverage.
"I slept longer than I anticipated"
I'm collapsing, chris!
powernoid
- I lost it there as well.
The "ah..ahhh....oh my god" when he sees the news footage is perfect.
Oh, bless. I live in NYC. On 9/11, I was a few miles north in the Chelsea neighborhood watching in disbelief on 18th Street and 6th Avenue as the North Tower fell. This track is the first time I've laughed at anything related to that event. Kudos to Chris and Armando.
It took 20 years for you to laugh at a 9/11 joke?
@@Poopmannn They literally watched thousands of people die, so probably, yes.
@@rantingwrench Comedy is born of tragedy. The human conditions self-defence mechanism. I was laughing the same day. Not at the events, but the crazy stuff we came up with hide the pain.
The day after the attacks I went into KFC and ordered two Flaming Tower Burgers, but they refused. To be fair, I was 15.
@@thedoveston6781 the fella selling hot dogs outside the WTC is still looking for the bloke who ordered the two Jumbos.
Woman gets on a plane and is very nervous. She asks the steward "How often do planes crash?" The steward replied "Only once."
"The sound insulation in these building is extraordinary" lol.

The 9th of November was tough day for all of us
Reclaim the date!
This is why we had ours on 7/7.
Funny right up to the bit where you realise Peter's incompetance actually saved his life, and the characters realise it too
Chris Morris needs to return to television. The modern day news is crying out for the kind of satire and parody, that only he can provide!

@@Renji1 those are the headlines god I wish they weren't
'THIS IS THE NEEEEWS !! ........Happy Now ?! '
Weve been making this joke for 9 years now
Despite the characters Morris portrays on screen the man himself is actually very modest and withdrawn.
'You overslept'
'I slept longer than anticipated'
Perfect. Absolutely perfect. Chris Morris is a true genius.
Peter you've added nothing...
Loved that line too. Chris Morris really is a bloody genius.
@@KarlHamilton BE QUIET!
IIRC quite a few actual newscasters were using the "it's like a movie" line on the day itself. I love that Chris used it here.
As with everything that Chris Morris does this is so well thought out, so perfectly executed and so hysterically funny
‘Sipping a cappuccino’
Sipping a cappucino.
1:07 floor 107 is now part of the basement
CHRIS MORRIS DONE NINE ELEVEN
How strange that the time of this video where he say's that is 1 minute and 07 seconds in
@@footielad8301 yes, very strange anomaly. Did you report it on facebook?
‘I’m collapsing Chris!’
I'm out!
"Peter you've added nothing"

No matter where you travel in the World, nobody does satirical humour better than the Brits. Love it.
We used to do it well.
I love 2:06, when O'Hanrahan realizes the enormity of his mistake.
"Ah... Ah..."
Classic, this is sheer awesomeness.
'I'm collapsing...I managed...I'm out I'm out'.
I kind of love that the humour of this isn't really at the expense of the people who died in the attacks but at Peter O'Hanraha-hanrahan, who is once again shown up by Chris for his incompetence.
"A very grey day ... a very grey day for the World, Chris"
Oh sweet jesus I misheard it as „a very great day for the world“
You’ve added nothing
I'm an American, and I loved this. Good work.
I can only imagine what the world would be like if Peter had woken up on time.
We’d have lost the news
I'm American and I cried when I heard this. I laughed until I cried.
me too. I can't imagine tsomething like this getting done here now, much less in 2004.
Absolutely brilliant, I wish they'd do more of these as online specials for all major news stories.
So do I, doubt it ever will though due to C4 blacklisting Chris Morris
Fresh, pure genius every time I listen again.
Couldn't stop laughing when Morris said Floor 107 is now part of the basement
When he pretends he’s going over to a tv in the restaurant rather than just switching the one in his hotel room on...
"It says right here, 35,000 dead."
"Let me see your notes."
"Um... It's 3,500 Chris!"
“Peter O’Hanrahanran there, live in New York. 🙂”
10 years on - It never gets old!
20 years on - it really never gets old!
This is immense; Chris Morris is beyond legendary. Cannot wait till Four Lions.
It's bigger than that Epistem, it's large.
I slept longer than I'd anticipated.

'The sound insulation in this building is extraordinary.'
Hilarious!

In GERMAN!
Only Chris Morris could be that funny just saying the word "gleaned".
Matt Berry could be a worthy challenger.
Peter’s lines are so perfect
Chris Morris is Genius!! Wish this and Brass Eye and was back on TV again.
Leave it to the genius of Chris Morris to create humour about September 11th without being gross or disrespectfull to those who died.
Excellent stuff :)
are you still alive? also i wish he was nicer to Peter
Not your words, the words of Shakin Stevens.
"Actually we didn't hear that"
The sound insulation in those buildings was extraordinary.
the second tower is collapsing...
i'm collapsing...
i'm out! i'm out!!
loooooooooooooooooooooooool

"It's now part of the basement."

I just realised that if Peter would have woken up in time, he would have been at the World Trade Center during the attack
I'M OUT!
“Could almost be looking at myself if I waved” lmao
brilliant, i've got the DVD and never knew there were extras on it.
"BE QUIET!" !!!!!!!!! Absolutely epic! After I picked myself up off the floor and breathed in again I find this sketch rather moving. I think that makes it genius.
'I'm collapsing, Chris!!!'
Would you like to revise your appraisal of the situation in the light of the information that you have just gleaned?
Great ! First time hearing this.
trente percenter
I remember accidentally finding this Easter egg and nevwr found it again until today
this is simply epic. Morris is a genius.
"Are you near a television? I'd like you to turn it on. Tell me what you can see." lol
If you google "The Day Today" and "Easter Egg" you'll find various secret extras on the DVD.
A small note of pedantry : Morris is telling O'Hanraha-Hanrahan to keep watching a recording of the footage, whereas O'Hanraha-Hanrahan ends up treating it as live. The game's up Peter!
The dark thing about this sketch is that if peter did his job he’d be dead
No, the dark thing is Chris would not have been all that shaken if he were dead.
Chris Morris is a genius.
I didn't know this existed. It's fantastic.
