Charlie Brooker and guests cast their collective eyes over all that the telly, cinema, news and computer games have to offer, in order to wring a little laughter from a hilariously troubled world.
In case you are interested and didn't know, the reason Milliband was challenged to "Repeat his accusation outside the Houses of Parliament" is because inside the HoP he can say what he likes with immunity. Outside he could be charged with Slander unless he could back up his allegations with proof.
Charlie Brooker's getting his mojo back. I always found that Weekly Wipe felt exhausted, not a patch on the glory days of Screenwipe. "Nicholas Lyndhurst playing a French postman." is very much the brilliance of old.
It's fun reminiscing about past (and still current) grievances, I look forward to watching the anti-viral wipe in five years and fondly remember the happier simpler times.
her stuff is just, "hey isnt this what vloggers do?" "isnt this how russell brand sounds?" okay, where's the jokes? awful. theres a reason impressions are considered low forms of comedy.
Thank Jupiter! I didn't want to watch this until I was sure she wasn't in it. And you are right, The Zeb bit is very un-funny like the bits with the other guy last series, the guy in his room giving thoughts in a language close to English. I download these for my Canadian husband(been introducing him to Brit comedy over the years) and was commenting how un-Charlie Brooker it is. He is so much funnier and sarcastic and cynical than this. Series 3 is a bit disappointing....but hey.....maybe it is just build up to something. Let me watch this and see if it worth bookmarking for my hubby.We both love Charlie and Philomena (she is hilarious).
It's Aspergers, with a "p". It wouldn't sound so silly if people said it the right way. Sorry for sounding so preachy, but I have it, so I figured I'd say something.
@@Codex7777 Why did laurence. S find it heartbreaking then? don't tell me you think his comment was meant to be a joke; it doesn't even slightly resemble a joke. I initially assumed he thought the cat was killed (hence heartbreaking) but now I realise he probably meant that it was heartbreaking that the soldier had to stop enjoying himself for public image; but I didn't clock it immediately because it's such a melodramatic over-emotional statement...
@@Codex7777 Not assuming that someone would be heartbroken over something trivial is a rational thing in my opinion. I think everyone who liked laurence. S's comment is a bit pathetic and are probably indiscriminately heartbroken when they finish the last teabag or their phone dies...
I Claudius, Monty Python, Top Gear, Sherlock... the best of British telly is better than anything in the U.S. But bad British TV sucks as bad as it does here.
"Disenfranchised", "passiveness", "Françoise Hollande"??? has Charlie lost the war on drugs (#14)? Or is it just Old age (#15)? Could be those ass burgers. That's why smart people stick to "Uh". it says it all and minimises risk of embarrassment.
14:15 I don't think I've ever seen Barbie tell people to get out and vote. People are fucking stupid. Like, regular and "smart" people, I mean. Not just the obviously dumb ones. A dumb person would have not cared about a pink bus, actually. They would have went, "Oh, what a pretty bus. I really should remember to register to vote." 15:57 I'm no MRA, but I love the sheer hypocrisy, sexism, and condescension in this women's words. If her balls were any bigger, she'd be a man. And lastly, "Vladimir Putin and the Ukraine Rebels" might be *the* finest name for a garage band that I've ever seen.
