Chris Morris on satire in the Trump era and his new film 'The Day Shall Come' 

The FBI has been quoted as saying they don’t like this movie, but they had to go along with it.

A FBI spokesman said “this is the one thing we didn’t want to happen”

last time i saw Chris he was disguised as a school

A friend of mine met Chris Morris and said “you’re my hero” Chris responded with “you disgust me”. Makes me like the man even more

When Chris Morris pops up for his twice-a-decade television appearance it's a very special day.

very odd to see him in a suit on a news program and not saying things like "If time were a drug, big ben is a massive needle pumping it into the sky!"

All great satire has a ferocious moral core. Chris Morris is the fiercest of the lot.

Legend. It's a massive compliment to Channel 4 News that he's willing to come onto the show.

This stimulates a part of the brain called Shatner's Bassoon.

That was the most sobering, direct, clear-cut analysis on the war on terrorism over the last 18 years I've ever heard on a public news channel. Kudos to Channel 4 for having a 15-minute discussion on the topic, and many kudos to Chris for his deeply insightful analysis.

Jokes and references aside, you can see Jon has a lot of respect for Chris Morris.

When you think you’re funny and intelligent, then you see Chris Morris talking

If it wasn’t for this guy we’d still have back street dentists.

“May just put a lot of effort into a tweet” in context hilarious 😂

"I don't really see the point of comedy unless there's something underpinning it. I mean what are you doing? Are you doing some kind of exotic display for the court, to be patted on the head by the court, or are you trying to change something? The problem is that I think we've got used to a kind of satire which essentially placates the court. You do a nice dissection of the way things are in the orthodox elite, and lo and behold, you get slapped in the back by the orthodox elite who say 'jolly good, can you do us another one'. That's not what it is about so in a way these times should bring on something with a bit more clout. It's about the thrust, and it's really about whether the people you're lancing can get off your spike." - Chris Morris Perfectly said about the point of satire and why so many satires fall flat if they just placate or just roast the court.

We’ve all been living in the last episode of “Brass Eye” since 2001.

Chris Morris has always been my idol, razor sharp, sobering and unflappable as ever, such a massive treat to have his insight into the world to listen to.

“This is a conversation...” “Yes.”

I never realised 'Four Lions' was anything to do with Chris Morris, he's a straight-up genius. This interview shows just how intelligent he is.

If there's one life-lesson that the brilliant works of Chris Morris have taught me over the years, it's that fact into doubt won't go.

Not often you get to see Chris Morris being interviewed on the news, good to see him come out of hiding again.

When Chris Morris does speak I do my best to listen carefully.

Excellent interview! A rare treat to see Chris Morris sit down and talk like this. Great job!

“I may just put a lot of effort into a tweet”. Deadpan perfection

Its rare these days to see such eloquence and intellectual acuity.

"I may just put a lot of effort into a Tweet". What a dude...

Check out Adam Buxton podcast for a really good interview with Morris. It's probably the most relaxed I've heard him in an interview.

"I may just put a lot of effort into a tweet"" hahaha laughed way too hard at that

"I may just put a lot of effort into a tweet." Very funny.

I call on Chris Morris to MAKE MORE CONTENT

Don't do Hero's but Chris Morris is the real deal.

His comedy has had such a positive influence on my life, especially while I was at school.

These are the headlines. God I wish they weren't.

Chris Morris truly is a genius of our time. Absolute legend. Miles ahead of the curve.

The USA has a Legal system, not a Justice system.

Morris brought out the best of Peter Cook in the mid 90's during a short-lived but beautiful collaboration; he still seems inspired by Cookian high aspirations, ideas that satire is not just a rough tool of "nice comedy", but something more sharp.

Goodness me we've missed you, Chris. Sharp as a razor blade and soberingly poignant. The snide Tweet reference was perfect.

Chris should be careful. In case the FBI send out the roboplegic wrongcocks.

This man is pure brilliance. Could listen to him and his musings all day. So much to learn from a person like him.

My Christ he's sharp. Erudite and on point.

More real than the news, Chris Morris has successfully inverted himself.

I've never clicked on a video so quickly in my life. More Chris Morris in general, please!!

Always a pleasure seeing him interviewed. Sadly, it doesn't happen often.

Doctors say he may survive, but only with his neck as an internal organ.

Cant wait to watch his new film whilst off my head on Cake and Clarky Cats

"I might just put a lot of effort into a tweet". Classic Morris.

Let's take a moment to appreciate this interviewer asking great questions, letting his first speak, not shying away from controversial topics

Really insightful interview. I am not over stating this. Chris Morris has and is an incredibly powerful voice. For me, satire, breaks down and reveals truth. It is the most effective way of holding the mirror, to reflect back. It can be uncomfortable, but is uniquely, necessary for a sane society.

Chris Morris, the funniest man alive. It is nice that he's such a good-hearted, well-informed guy.

What a rare treat. He's always such a brilliant interviewee.

"isn't donald trump many steps ahead of you?" "ahead of ME?! haha" That bit was hilarious

Fantastic interview all round: Good, succinct questions from Jon Snow, and fantastic commentary on American politics & its national security from Chris Morris.

a very rare interview indeed when chris isn't trolling the interviewer lol

We used to have the genius of Chris Morris on our screens, now we've got Mrs Brown's Boys, The Last Leg and Not Going Out.

When he finished that sentence with "...I dunno, I may just put a lot of effort into a tweet." It was the most brass eye quip he pulled out in this interview.

I’d love to hear a conversation with him and Adam Curtis

That was a great interview - Chris Morris’s mind works so fast.

Vote Chris Morris for next Permanent PM! 👍

He's back! Morris was probably my first internet search. It's nice to see him again. Take heed, fellow youtubers!

Chris is simply pure pragmatism and realism, love it.

Chris Morris is a gift from god, Genius

When he decided to make the film he told the producer "Hello, producer? Get me a team that can work as a team."

Those are the headlines. God, I wish they weren’t.

You've lost the news, John!!

Love Morris' laugh when Snow says "It's hard to believe".

Anyone feeling stressed at the end of the day... WILL BE FIRED!!!!!!

"we have got other versions" Beautiful.

The genius of Chris Morris. Never outflanked by the bonkers. "Chris Morris, thank you for joining us." Chris Morris, thank you for existing. You genius, you diamond, you rare and beautiful thing.

The courage, tenacity and sincerity shown. Ted Maul would be proud. Chris Morris: a living legend

This man is a living legend. A true genius and will always be ahead of the curve.Brasse eye is still ahead of its time 20 years later

Who else went "dum-dum dum-dum" as soon as the interview was over, in the style of The Day Today music? 😂

"What do I do next? ...I may just put a lot of effort into a Tweet" 12:11

Chris Morris is a legend in comedy and TV man. Thank you for bringing this very important issue to light. Unfortunately not many people will hear about it.

Please Bring back Brass Eye!!! 👍

The intellect of Chris is powerful - so articulate and sees things and describes them in a way that makes yer think. I find myself hanging onto his every word and he is a comedy genius and is also a great electronic music composer. Is there no end to the talents of this man?

An absolutely phenomenal film, everyone should definitely watch it.

I felt so sorry to hear about the passing of Ted Maul, Chris Morris's old colleague. I hope they eventually find his remains.

"Those are the headlines. Happy now?!"

Chris Morris, brillant discussion, thank you. Please, Chris, turn your attention to adoption and child social services where the same thing is happening: abusive parents are being missed by the system, loving parents are being targeted, destroyed, and their children taken away. A starting point for the services would be if, for instance, the child is having difficulty in school, struggling with anxiety. The parents are blamed, and abuse charges are manufactured. The services then keep their adoption statistics on target, and look like they are being effective. The occasional child who is murdered by their abusive families looks like they slipped through the net, when the isn't a net.

"I'm Collapsing! I'm collapsing Chris!"

A very reassuring presence, is Mr Morris. Look forward to the film.

Guy is a legend

'Ahead of me?! Hahaha.' Love it.

Chris Morris is a national treasure. A real OG.

This Guy is a british gem, always producing the highest calibre in comedy and political reasoning. So refreshing to have someone so honest and who can portray his point perfectly.

He is facting Jon Snow til he farts.

Thank you for coming back Chris, the world has needed you.

Artist with a message. I almost forgot what that was... Welcome back Chris!!!

There's truly no escaping Morris's tractor beam of comedy

He is close to doing a spherical interview.

This man is a genius. I dont use that word often. Top Mark's for Channel 4 for doing an extended interview. The tweet comment went straight over Jon Snows head. Brilliant.

'Ahead of me?!' - genuinely couldn't help but laugh

From telly to belly. Fact me till I fart!

Great to see Mr Morris out in the light again :) The Day Today still remains the comedic bible of incisive and insightful satire, what a great piece of work!

"I may just put a lot of effort into a tweet" 👌🏼😂

Love it when Chris Morris says "Farce". Nostalgic!

"about the thrust" "get off your spike"........"get out of the tractor beam of this comedy"......lol, brilliant.

Wow that was great, two really significant members of society, thank you both 🙏

Chris Morris is "the business". Probably the greatest satirist of our times! Genius. We are lucky to have someone like this to see through the spin.

Intelligent, informed and very interesting guy. First time I've seen him interviewed. Not dissapointed.
