I know I'm watching this in 2022, but it's crazy how out of date the section on Internet videos is, it's like a time capsule from a completely different era.
It's really weird how I can't listen to anyone (say the Scottish guys) remembering old TV shows on this show without immediately thinking of Barry Shitpeas - "There was this show like..."
I also love the way they put ABBA, played by what sounds like a band of mexican troubadors, over images of someone getting asphixiated by clingfilm... whoever selects the music for this program is a comic genius
What really sums up Brooker's humour is the cynical monologue at the end with the deerhunter theme edited under the words. I get the feeling he that he needs this show to vent his own anger at the world and esp tv.
Lindybeige and Charlie Brooker are my two favourite people. Curse you, Brooker, for forcing me to choose with your vulgar dismissal of what I'm sure would have been a fascinating dance routine/magic act/whatever!
when he talks about video games making you cry, I'd say that some games immerse you so heavily into characters that some of the best can make you feel deep empathy for the characters. If anything i feel closer to the player character whose actions i'm taking than a character on a screen i'm watching passively
Ooooooh that's weird. I randomly decided to watch some old 24 clips. Then had my nostalgia fest and decided to watch Screenwipe and thought I'll watch some of series 3. And clicked on this one. Which features 24 :-) RU-vid algorithms are in sync with my brain!
