[MegaphoneDub]

24 people are John Snow

[emanobop93]

a pipe at a window. nuff said.

[Luetin09]

its just news, just news

[Nonalir]

I had to bite my lip to stop myself laughing very loudly and waking up my housemates. This is genius, as always.

[Egth0ridon]

Amazing.

[ivanpb1983]

XD XD ok, give him the Pulitzer..

[VirtualStudioTV]

"Some dowdy man opening letters in a kitchen" is brilliant - great video!

[MarlaSingerIsMyIdol]

"He unfortunately was boring"

Charlie makes me belly laugh

[fikapaburk]

lool

[DonforDead]

this is amazingly accurate

[kayanlau]

[Zotov13]

Gotta love the meta-news.

[meadoalotaibi]

هههههههههههههههههههههه

[W4RRIORW1Z4RD]

and this is a lighthouse keep being beheaded by a laser beam :D

[Chaantelx]

Thanks for the tips, I'm making a news report for my English project

[DRD930717]

The amazing thing is that this is pretty much what every news piece I've ever watched went through (apart from the laser), brilliant.

[Wantango]

"... and this is a lighthouse keeper being beheaded by a lazer beam." that's when I lost it. lolllll dying

[avengedsevenfull]

Charlie Brooker is a fucking genius!

[Dramaguiness]

[Lastaccountgothacked]

Comment applying content of video to current popular comment meme.

[eagleking48]

I wonder if the "bunters" being interviewed recognise the irony of their appearance in the "news report"...

[YourAverageJoey]

@eagleking48 Pretty sure those are actually runners or other misc staff reading from a script.

[tomroxelf]

@eagleking48 they are actors

[fireburn95rs]

Brill!

[Starscream3352]

"And here's a lighthouse keeper being beheaded by a laser beam."

Bloody hilarious...

[Dimensiathebook]

The Formula!

[ninjovich]

Oh Charlie how we love you

[flvrd]

fucking lighthouse keepers. About time!

[REDYELLOWGRASSGRASS]

news media could definitely use more laser beheadings.

[paintballgundown8]

BBC actually knows about BBC

[poptart2nd]

"obligatory shots of overweight people" lol that's average by american standards.

[skrattkantarellen]

hahaha too accurate



[KevthePoet]

and this is a light-house keeper being beheaded by a laser beam...

[TheCaptainCalvert]

yup l v

[weaverfishable]

So true

[hellopeoplez01]

i love how the english swear!! XD

[biscuitgogo]

[MarcelZager]

[Maca68]

"Obligatory shots of overweight people"

LOL

[MarcelZager]

I LOVE IT

[Benjarvis18]

brasseye ?



[mephisto40]

Classic!

[TheGonzaPoker]

dowdy kitchen man ...LMFAO

[DamianGarcia92]

ABC News is EXACTLY like this.

[Yahtzoom]

Why can't I go to the channel?!

[twilightshaymin]

Saw this in my IT class, sooo funny!!

[TheDAllenShow]

'and this is a lighthouse keeper being beheaded by a laserbeam'

[TheDAllenShow]

This is all fucking true!

[flamebot4475]

haha the top comments are pure irony

[martinisbutik]

this is so post modern



[w3irdn3rd]

Unrelated comment asking if you want to meet girls / a bigger penis / watch my profile / hit the thumbs up for no reason whatsoever.

[andy86i]

the filming of the random anonymous overweight people no doubt gives away the BBC's opinion of the public, or "the rabble"

[Eralen00]

regent's treat.

bahaha

[bakosy]

This is still one of the most clever things I've seen in a long time

[BoogsterSU2]

Yo dawg, I heard you like news reports!

[julianrob77]

now to return to our main story about the lighthouse keeper and the laser beam, a 46 year old man has been charged and is pending further investigation.

[solodolo1994]

"like he's guiding through the fucking matrix" lmfao that part always gets me

[HectorL360]

Damn it i was born on the wrong side of the world, i love BBC.

[pyrochemists]

generic comment expressing enjoyment of the clip shown.

[legrandnoir]

01.00 in, she's gorgeous! :-D

[5599168]

@legrandnoir Seriously. The accent seals the deal.

[FractalZero]

I can't get enough of the irony of asking members of the public on their opinion on soundbites. Absolutely love it.

[szettner]

I love that ending, "If you're lucky, a bit of word play fit for a king, or in other words, a Regent Street." X-)

[szettner]

@szettner Or rather, "Regent's treat." So dorkily perfect!

[renoo27]

Brilliant.

[mrfwest]

am i the only American fascinated that there's a phone booth in the video?

[Tallykoren]

Great video, thanks for the upload.

[cosmic93]

"Ignoring all the pricks milling around him, like he's gliding though the fucking matrix" That was genius.

[anarchotrent]

Why is Brooker gone from our screens? Where has he gone? We NEED him.

[shellygrrl]

@anarchotrent Too busy writing stuff. *nods*

[edzeppelin1984]

This could be a Python sketch - brilliant.

[CaptainPositron]

22 lighthouse keepers were beheaded by a laser beam.

[sonnyboo]

A brilliant dissection of generic news editing.

[mystfire]

press 8 for laser beam beheading.

[chelseaforever10]

LOL!!

[yngvaibucketrucci]

ive just finished watching how tv ruined your life and this guy is my new hero

[jamescpdaly]

Genius.

[listenwhatisayoh]

The funniest thing is that all of the people giving an opinion on camera actually don't like watching those opinions on tv. :D

[davidofchinkov41]

so true XD

[TheMerfAvenger]

22 People ARE news reporters.

[Hanesu]

This couldn't be more perfect.

[BearHunterNinja]

i now feel preeminently capable of doing a news report on any story, in any place, at any time, evah. watch your ass, anderson cooper. there's a news reporter in town.

[kooora18]

Next a walkie talkie preamble from the auteur pacing steadily towards the lens.

[martok666]

mac-report express, thats how news reported these days.

[00maharum00ma]

Uncreative comment redundantly quoting a part of the video in a shallow attempt to gain likes and justify my own pathetic existence.

[clovelywindheaven]

@00maharum00ma LOL...i bet you copied and pasted that here......from another video...

what does that say about you?

[00maharum00ma]

@clovelywindheaven

Haha, I didn't copy and paste it, though I did get the idea from a similar comment I saw on another video.

[360Arshavin]

@00maharum00ma Cock 

[tomtomsatnav666]

@00maharum00ma Witty reply in an attempt to leech off of the successfulness of the original comment

[cairnooo]

@00maharum00ma best comment on youtube.

[stormstrydr]

and this is a lighthouse keeper being beheaded by a laser beam.

[ResistDeception]

Best vid on youtube!!

[PowerfulDragon]

i wanna make a baby in that girl that got interviewed.



[6oodfella]

Pure genius.

Brooker is brilliant, this, Gameswipe, and So Wrong It's Right, he would be close to comedy Midas if it wasn't for that horseshit zombie movie he made, that was pure pish.

[summerbirds11]

Hahaha! Omg this is hilarious. Go Britain!!!

[velin02]

This makes me laugh out loud every time I watch it.

[robdayuk]

"It's just news...it's just news."

[SirDevlin]

Golden mate, golden.

[chilli4u2nv]

LOOL

[Cr24093042]

"this is a lighthouse keeper being beheaded by a laser beam"

[LoxiDays33]

I actually love him! <3

[gppf91]

"like he's gliding through the fucking Matrix" - spat out my drink at that :')

[chilli4u2nv]

@gppf91 So did I Loool

[Edubbplate]

What is "dowdy"? I'm from Texas, so some of the British slang I don't quite understand. Sorry.

[99RML]

@Edubbplate

Along the lines of bland, lacking style, old-fashioned - roughly the same as frumpy I'd say.

[stefichjo]

It's just news. It's just news.

[VonFranc]

19 sailors crashed because Brooker beheaded their lighthouse keeper with a laser beam

[firebreathone3]

Absolutely brilliant!

[Bushy162]

@firebreathone3 Love this, this is my exact of humour cos while i'm watchin BBC News i'm not listening to what they're saying, I'm just noticing all the things that are brought to attention in this video! Lmao..

[TheDenijar]

Thumbs up if you love the dowdy kitchen man and the lighthouse keeper

[xAstronomy]

Gliding trough the fucking matrix!... brilliant!

[CheekTV]

Brilliant (as always) x

[iloveGTA123]

Keep pressing 8

[xAstronomy]

@iloveGTA123 epic

[TheJovanist]

nuclear rofl bombs

[Elodea]

What a helpful video. I've saved thousands of dollars and years of work by not getting any sort of formal journalism training at a college or university! I can now replace any of the "talking heads" on Fox television!

[MrRedButtocks]

@Elodea I see you referenced Fox as if you believed there is a news organization in existence that is any more accurate in any way. This is an extremely stupid fucking comment you have made and clearly identifies you as one of the rubes.

[IcelightBlue]

HAHAHAHAHAHA

[bumloot]

drew carey sent me here

[Chrissuit33]

@bumloot me too

[iPhoneGTI]

It's funny because it's so true xD

[PenontonGila]

[Pinkishbass91]

And this is a light house keeper being beheaded by a laster beam...

[Chaddersman]

My god that was incredible

[clubindigo]

This is pure genius!! :L

[trimbers8]

Watched this in real time with a news report, fits perfectly.

[angsta]

Genius

[PeeJayZephyr]

Inevitably followed by people making a derivative reference to the number of people who 'disliked' the video on YouTube in the hope of getting a thumbs up from other people and validating their sad existence.

[happysplinters]

WOW

[912falcons]

This is one of the funniest things I've seen in a long while! Well done!

[Schmappnschmazz]

Charlie Brooker can do whatever the hell he likes :D

[Bolton9000]

press 1 over and over again......

[Lik3NoOthR]

this is actually really helpful stuff. hahahaha. thanks a bunch. :D

[EvoProd]

keep pressing 8 LOL

[KneeVAwesomeness]

omg its fucking hilerious! XD

[tedmaulz]

do not trust Brooker he works for the establishment.

[PATBOYSL1M]

keep hitting 1 i believe he swears ;)

[DuranFan09]

Funniest thing I've seen in years. Sooo accurate!

[MrDanSpragg]

This is very very very very accurate

[TheButterscotch76]

ha ha

[JustDanson]

We got are reporting ideas from this, Look at our channel to see are attempt!

<-----

[LetterIWrite2You]

I love this! Especially because we recently did this in class hahaha so truee :p

[ldoug9]

17 overweight people had their faces subtly framed out

[isktragedy]

@ldoug9 make that 20, lol



[SirArghPirate]

@ldoug9 Priceless comment!

[1591215912]

If you follow the steps above (load the video press play, then pause, then play) then press 1 and hold it instead of 8 listen to what the man keeps saying..

starts in a c ends in a t and is an anagram of cnut...

[axflorida]

i loaf this video!

[Pissant950]

This guy is a fucking genius

[Bilsabob]

30 seconds to long though 

[hensleydavid]

"it's just news.... it's just news"

nice. i like the facial expression he has when he says that.

[ihartxboxOMG]

gay

[WasLilChrisnowbigish]

I came back to watch this video again and all I see is these Day[9] comments wtf?

[thirdlegUK]

or press 1 key, he says "c*nt" hahahha

[supersonicfan77]

Sean Connery..?

[MCkillU]

holding the 2 key has charlie brooker cumming..... its AWESOME!!!

[AnonEyeMouse]

@malumalumalu

You can.

[nattiTV]

press 8 over and over again, it's sooo fun xD

[mmtot]

Why is the BBC showing how their propaganada machine works, why is the establiahment helping to expose itself?

[redlynx69]

@mmtot Its not the establishment! Its Charlie Brooker taking the piss, but he works for the BBC, so that's why they show it. It'd be going against his freedom of speech to not allow that!

[mmtot]

@redlynx69 If you are being sarcastic then very funny, if not then I can advise you go easy on the fluoride and aspartame.

[biancabeeeyotch]

@mmtot BBC often talks about itself... just like the time when James Naughtie from BBC Radio 4 said on air "Jeremy Cunt" instead of "Jeremy Hunt", and they wrote a short article about it immediately after, all details included.

[ItLiesInTheProles]

pretty much stole this format for a factual programming assignment on my course. DISTINCTION fo sho'. Interviews are now know as "dowdy kitchen men" and we do "walky talky preambles". PURE WIN.

[DynamicScherzo]

Me, has this report.

[OmegaRFox]

How many news reports follow this format exactly...

[Hurlinkk]

Ha ha - excellent

[masterbboy]

so jokes

[DAVROSS44]

Unbelievable observationist, cult hero! Keep up the good work Mr Brooker!

[boner2008]

REGENT STREET LOL

[sidewinderxx]

@boner2008 wordplay fit for a king or in other words a.. regent's treat

[aRomanSoldier]

Gotta have that pipe at a window shot, lol
