NOTE: I've stopped uploading videos myself due to the multitude of other users doing so. Sorry for the lack of updates, this channel will now act as a sort of "curator" of Charlie Brooker material. Thanks.
Find all the series of Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe, Newswipe, Gameswipe and How TV Ruined Your Life including one-offs and specials.

So my pitch is for Charlie Brooker to stop making an incredibly successful black comedy/sci fi/horror series and go back to making a barely successful digital format show in which he reviews Netflix/Amazon/Disney+ shows and films and call it "Streamwipe." Reckon it will be a hit.
As an American child I was unnerved by the relatively benign Muppet, Sesame Street, and Mr. Roger's puppet characters... had I met with these British puppet counterparts in my youth I would surely have been severely more disturbed and my adult mind even more addled... condolences to my cousins across the sea 🫡
By the way the game endorfun with subliminal messages had messages like "I feel joyful now" "I love being alive" "I can do anything". And you could set the messages to full volume so you could hear them and know what they say.
Why is being naked empowering? Rather than say, getting a job they want, overcoming an addiction or phobia, learning a new language or learning a new skill. It's not but it gets viewers who want an eye full.
The thing with deal or no deal is no one would gamble that much in any other circumstance. The show itself creates an unreality where they don't connect with what they're actually doing. I don't know if it is Edmunds' weird metaphysical ideology or simply being on TV or not being able to see the money. In their everyday life I bet they would take 20k over a 1 in 5 chance of something better without much thought.
Why would you get that mawkish psychic in and not say, a child psychologist? Or a doctor? If she is crying a lot maybe she's in pain or you're doing something to trigger her or she has autism or something.
The US pimp my ride was an absolute scam it seems. Those werent the poeple's houses or cars (sometimes), they made them do their reactions and lines over and over, the things they put in the cars were often unusable nonsense, it took them about 8 months to do the car, xhibit didn't get paid, and the most egregious thing was often that the cars had not had their mechanical faults fixed, so really the car was just as bad but with a bunch of gordy baubles on them. One guy had the steering wheel come off in his hand while he was driving his recently "pimped" car.
I am weirdly reassured that something like hi 5 exists. If I ever find myself teetering on the precipice of oblivion at least I know I can go search for 20 somethings going on about how much they love their dogs or their favorite ice creams.
Can anyone tell me the name of the piece of music that plays between 00:04 - 02:00 (basically the backing over the Nicholas Parsons piece). I've heard it being used on a few episodes of Screenwipe and just never managed to find out what it is. I've been through the Spotify playlist that Charlie made up but can't seem to find it in there.
I love that Liza Tarbuck is talking about a rat with a boat living in a riverbank and the first book she thinks of to compare it to is The Hobbit rather than The Wind In The Willows.
Talk about bad timing; just as I finished part 1 of this episode and the implied BJ scene cropped up it cut to black and RU-vid decided to show me a normally pretty innocent Müller corner advert about a teacher feeling awkward about licking the creamy yoghurt in front of a bunch of kids.
Little did we know then that within the decade the whole Death-Star of shit would explode as governments acted like their own population were the enemy. And sought to engage in a joyless orgy of fun-fisting taking away civil liberties and forcing experimental snake oil into the arms of perfectly healthy people. Engaging in the reproductive maiming of children and making vacant-eyed drones out of your friends and family.
