Like I said, sorry if this has been brought up before, but is anyone here familiar with Jas Mann's appearance on Brass Eye?

For those not in the know, Brass Eye is a comedy show that poses as a 'Panorama' style documentary, but just takes the piss. They'll take a topic like drugs, sex, animal cruelty, and instead of doing a proper documentary on it they'll take the piss instead. In the episode about drugs, it randomly goes to an interview with Jas Mann during the ending credits. The interviewer (Chris Morris) is asking him if he thinks he's sung all the notes there is, and if he hopes to discover a new note one day. It's made out like Jas Mann doesn't realise he's being mocked, but obviously he will have been told before-hand.

None of the celebrities on Brass Eye were told it was a spoof. They were just stupid enough to do it. (Sorry Jas!)

One episode has a clip where it shows a mobile phone and it shows Jas Manns address... wonder if was real heh.

I forgot about that bit. As for the celebrities not being told...at first I thought to myself 'is this for real', and after lines like 'the fox is made of string' I realised it was parody. Surely some of those celebrities must have known he was taking the piss? Especially in the paedophilia episode...

'Have you ever written a spherical song?' is a classic line though...

he he, apart from Spaceman I reckon this is what Jas is most famous for these days...

Dr. Fox: "This is a crab.. This has sex with children..."
"Genetically Paedophiles have more in common with crabs than they do you and me. Now THAT is scientific fact! There's no real evidence for it, but it is scientific fact!"

classic.

Oh man, Brass Eye is another one of those programs with so many classic lines I could sit here and quote them all day. May go watch some more in a bit...

Who's that guy (who was a presenter) that read something out and they edited it so he said: 'An elephant could no more stick its trunk up its ass than we could lick our balls?'

It is genius, so well written. If you've ever seen 'Big Train', the surreal 'Jam' or anything like that you'll notice a group of recurring actors and actresses, some appear on Brass Eye. It's fantastic.

I liked the tin man sketch, the Tom Henderson 'the guy is a wanker' sketch, and the Florence Nightingale one.
