The Horror of Comedy | Chris Morris's JAM

In this video, we'll take a look at two of the most provocative pieces of British comedy from the last few decades: Chris Morris' 'Blue Jam' from 1997 and its TV adaptation 'Jam' from 2000. Their experimental formats and taboo content makes them some of the most disturbing things Morris has produced in his already controversial career, and you'll either find people describing them as works of comedy or horror. But how distinct are these two genres, and what does Morris do that blurs the lines so effectively? READING/VIEWING 'Blue Jam' can be found here in its entirety: https://archive.org/details/chrismorr... 'Jam' is mostly available on YouTube, but you can purchase it on DVD.
