↑ Very much this
As much as I find his criticism of Brass Eye insightful in that, I can't think of anything Boyle himself has done which holds a candle to Morris's work. Tramadol Nights was by and large just 'shock' humour rather than wit.

but I think he was arguing that 'wit' is heavily establishment and middleclass
so to be witty, for him, would be a personal failure

I get that
I just know I'd rather watch Chris Morris's type of 'wit' than a joke about Katy Price's disabled child. Not because I find it outrageously offensive per say, more because I just don't find it as funny.
Maybe that makes me middle class and heavily establishment.
