Yup, the single best satirical show is now available on DVD, to own and get hurty sides from laughing.
Has all the episodes:
Animals
Science
Drugs
Sex
Crime
Decline
2001 Special.
And in case you missed the retarded furore a few months ago, the 2001 Special is the paedogeddon episode.
Relive the comedic moments from the twisted brain wrong of man-mental Christopher Morris.
See Nick Owen plead for your help for Gita, the Sri-Lankan girl hit by heavy electricity and left only 8 inches tall.
Laugh at Noel Edmonds warning you about the dangers of Cake, a "made-up metabolic bi-stirbial drug".
Choke as "Mad" Frankie Fraser tells David Jatt that a nonce touching his bird "would suffer for that".
Absolute, 100% cutting-edge newsfelch.
If you have never seen this programme, it's a painfully accurate savaging of current affairs programmes like Panorama and World in Action.
It's hard to explain without sounding like you've spent a fortnight in a bad balloon.
And the DVD has some specials.
The music videos used, JLB-8 (Fred Durst pastiche), The Man with The Scary Eyes and "Myra" (best Jarvis Cocker impression you'll ever see).
Some deleted bits (Morris talking to a bloke about the dangers of breeding small hippos for domestic chores) and trailers for the 2001 special.
But, worth buying for alone, it has the single best commentary of any DVD ever.
It's a commentary for the "Drugs" episode.
But Morris being Morris, it's not what you'd expect.
He's got 6 homeless drug addicts, brought them into the studio and let them talk about the episode as it plays.
Starts off hilarious listening to "Smurf" talk about not taking drugs but they end up with some of the most insightful and thought-provoking comments about drug abuse I've ever heard.
These guys know what it's all about. You hear them in disbelief at the celebs lining up to warn about the dangers of "Cake", a fictional drug.
"Jesus f####ing christ, these people are supposed to be able to help. People f###ing listen to these guys and they don't have a f###ing clue, they're just reading from that paper, they don't care. They haven't taken the f###ing time to research this...they're just talking to appear like they give a f###. How are we going to tackle the real problems when they just don't f####ing understand what it's about? It shows just how important fighting drugs are eh?"
Excellent DVD.
Superb satirical visciousness and a fantastic commentary from 6 homeless blokes that admit "We're just gonna take the money from Chris and go buy gear, how will Noel f####ing Edmonds help that eh? C##t."
And Morris asking at the very end, "Smurf, what do you remember about what you've just seen?"
"....not a f####ing thing mate"
Cue hysterical laughter from everyone.
Excellent.

Try MVC, I got mine there. Couldn't find it anywhere else in the high street though. Glad I bought this DVD, never saw any of the original series, funniest thing I've seen in ages. Especially when he claims quadraplegics are just "incredibly lazy"
I've not tried this myself yet, but apparently, there's an easter egg commentary at the end of the 2001 special:
"If you wait until the end of part one of the Brass Eye Special a small icon will appear at the bottom right hand corner of the screen. Press enter, and a hidden commentary will play over the Pedo-files sketch. If you find any more hidden extras then get in touch and let us know."
"The dead cow carcass is left to rot, food for the vultures and rats, and scorpions if they eat meat I don't know."
Tania Bryer, on a mile high 'vertical farm' tube - "Some people say it'd be dangerous in a high wind, but for goodness sake, who's to say there's going to be a high wind?"
Bryer again: "Unfortunately, some clouds can turn into mutant clouds, like Cirrus Serious, Javo Nimbus and Ulto-Cyphilis, injecting their rain into the sky. This bad rain then turns into triple water, which turns into gas upon landing on the ground, blasting trees out of the ground, and killing monkeys."
"This is a song by the US DJ, "Smash My Brother's Face In"
"Here's a track from UK musician, DJ Bob Hoskins going mental in a dustbin."
Question is which high street retailers are butch enough to risk a Daily Mail campaign against them by stocking it?
My sister fell for the hand with the mind of its own one.. and even refuses to believe me that it's a spoof documentary. Now we'll see who was right...
