Not sure if anyone has ever said this but for me Jam always reminds me of that state of consciousness just before falling asleep, or REM. I think it is hard for someone to actually explain this state and how it feels but Jam comes very close to showing it. Just my own interpretation and i'm not saying my REM sleep is this dark every night haha. Maybe it's been said before but i've never seen it. Maybe Chris had the same idea? I think the doctors sketches in the way they are filmed resemble that type of dreaming.
I always thought they were trying to give us the feeling of what it's like to be sedated, or high on pot or something. The falling asleep feeling is close too.
I don't think it's by accident. The soundtrack and distorted effects give it an ethereal atmosphere, like you're in limbo between reality and nightmare, on the cusp of psychosis. It's the same kind of tension you get in horror films.
That's probably my favourite scene in Jam. It's so well written and acted, and it's wrong on just about every level. "I don't think I could afford that much again." Brilliant.
There's nothing more satisfying than the rush I get from watching a person disappear. I've been aching to behold this for so long. Its almost as if I've seen them before. I recognise them somehow. I have sniffed the bouquet and now it's time to drink. Ahh hello, greetings. Well now, let's get started shall we? What's wrong? You frightened? Don't be ashamed. Its hard I know... You feel my power and it's hard to bare. What! Fool, stole it. They're part of greatness now. I've given them all a purpose.
I'd like to see the final sketch expanded to a feature-length film, documenting her mental breakdown as her crimes get worse and worse, and trying with varying success to make friends with her victims. Of course she doesn't see them as victims; in her mind what she's doing is completely innocent, and the only way she knows of to meet people. She'd be a good anti-hero, one you can't help but feel a little sympathy for, no matter what terrible things she does to other people.
@@martinmaguire-music6692 I haven't seen that film since it first came out. It might he similar, but I think Robin Williams' character's motivations were quite different.
Some rat bastard put this on at a party once. Lets just say, I wasn't in the 'best frame of mind' for its' dark themes. I've not been quite the same nor seen this again since then, circa 2003. Its' all flooding back... the horror.... the horror....
Omg ! The same thing happened to new kind of . I was on a massive come down in some random persons house . Miles away from home and they started playing this while we were all smoking weed and I swear in my head I was battling to keep my shit together lol
I thought the first time I saw the intros "These are so fucking beautifully written" but now I realize he is actually saying really beautiful and important things with each sketch.. like. holy shit lol "When you revel in your own shame, when you are upset by every thought that pops into your own head" THATS JAM! WELCOME TO JAM BABY the world is drowning in jam lolol fuck i found the accent difficult to understand the first few times i reckon
14:26 Why is a tie-mounted chin coolant sachet the wise choice...over the chin-mounted sachet. B4 he made his choice, I was thinking I'd go for the chin-mounted option. The related sketch where Mr. Ventham doesn't know what to do this Saturday evening was the best one of these sketches, IMO. Episode 2, seven minutes in. But don't watch THIS sketch, unless you're ready for The Gush.
The scene at 8.30 in !!....They shouldn't get young children to perform horrible scenes like that !!!....My GOD. Have we all become so desensitized that we don't bat an eyelid ???....Adult surreal humour is adult humour......But don't involve KIDS in the production !....Unethical & immoral.
I'm amazed that Chris Morris was able to find a young girl willing to do the scene, and whose parents were willing to let her. I wonder how he pitched the scene to her parents.
Oh, get over it. Most kids know what death is and are aware that fiction is a thing separate to reality. In many ways they're actually like little people. And all the unnecessary caps in the world isn't going to change that. I should also point out that the visual style is an effect. The child didn't actually percieve it in that strange unsettling way. It's that and the music that make this truly unsettling The sketch isn't even that dark anyway. Other than a couple swear words there isn't anything much darker than Nolan's Batman and that film was marketed at 12 year olds. Quit being so soft and get off your high horse

The bored phone sex doctor is one of the best Chris Morris sketches ever, as well as my favourite.
We all need a doctor like him to disturb the rest of the day.
This is warped TV. Absolutely brilliant.
Chris Morris should write and direct horror movies, they'd disturbing and terrifying.
Let's face it, this is practically horror masquerading as dark comedy.
@@Pining_for_the_fjords yes
Jam is one of the few reasons I have left for living.
It’s so strange when mark heap acts slightly normal.

"We've been informed… he drowned this morning… in his canoe".
Dark as fuck, love it.
Mark Heap’s head on an insect torso is equally the most horrifying and hilarious thing I have ever seen
'There is something wrong with my small?'
that scene with the small coffin.....brutal
That's probably my favourite scene in Jam. It's so well written and acted, and it's wrong on just about every level. "I don't think I could afford that much again." Brilliant.
@@Pining_for_the_fjords I cracked up on that line. An absolute classic of a scene.
"Todd Chade?"
"Matthew Vockersbeige."
"Sooo...."
What seems to be the problem?
my personal favourite intro for jam
'Local crime git'
Every little bloody dust!

That would be great! I would love to see that.
I haven't seen it, but is that possibly similar to One Hour Photo, with Robin Williams?
@@martinmaguire-music6692 I haven't seen that film since it first came out. It might he similar, but I think Robin Williams' character's motivations were quite different.
"There's quite a good reason for it...."
the last sketch in that is fucking incredible. inspiring stuff. I'd quite like to have intercourse with this series.
luke bailey a shiver ran up my spine at the end
Or if the series says no, then at least with that lassie with the long white hair at 12:52. I believe Julia Davis is her name.

Comforting to know I'm not the only victim of Jam-based PTSD. ;)
that doctor sequence had nice camera work
Creepy crazy. Thanks.
The sex doctor music sounds like something from the Herbaliser's "Something Wicked this way Comes".
Mr Holmes!
Mark Heap at 0:23
I just had to laugh
Have you caught me?
What was the basic gist of the "little hoover" sketch? Was the maid trying to secure more hours work per week?
Late, but yes haha
London guilt.
Normal
I so want a shoe wire.
Help me saw up the man ...
lichen
I am so weirded out to hear Lichen in this context, the music is so beautiful, but the skit is the stuff of nightmares.
In Jaaaaaammmmm
Er recently I've been getting a rather hot chin
my forearm has been particularly itchy this week. Im going to a therapist for some advice.
i can arrange for a delivery of chin coolant sachets..

Made me lmao though
