From the mind of Christopher Morris (IT Crowd), Brass Eye is a very short (6 episode) spoof comedy news show that ran in the UK mostly during 1997 but based heavily on its similar 1994 predecessor The Day Today. The Brass Eye is much more surreal Daily Show (which had premiered in North America just a year earlier in 1996) and I laughed a decent bit. You can likely find this in full online, most of the topical references are obviously outdated but sometimes that makes it funnier. I wish there was more of it.
