  • WHAT A FUCKING HYPOCRITE!!! Charlie Brooker dedicates lots of screen time to the worst kind of stinking bullshit on his shows, giving them more publicity and jamming them into the conciousnesses of people like me who would never even have heard of them in the first place. My sweet sixteen, teen cribs, the show about the Saturdays etc etc. I like him and I find him entertaining and informative most of the time but I WISH HE WOULDN'T PUBLICISE THE SHITTEST OF THE SHIT. FUCK YOU CHARLIE, YOU SHILL.

  • @givemericht thats the ... point.... He shows you the shit on tv and ... ridicules them. As you say ? " I like him and I find him entertaining and informative most of the time" If your telling him to stop doing that, your telling him to stop being entertaining and informative. Duh?

  • @wigisnotaname I'm not telling him to stop anything, he can do what he likes and I will probably still watch his media for the entertainment/educational value and to see how low humanity has really sunk but I find it hypocritical that he would accuse others of granting publicity to mindless shite as if they were committing some form of cardinal sin when he does the very same thing on a very regular basis.

  • @wigisnotaname Sorry about the long sentence, I probably should have put a comma in there somewhere. Thing is, although his segments such as "the week in bullshit" are very entertaining, they are nowhere near as informative as most of his material. But maybe that's the... point...?

  • genius

  • Charlie Brooker could convince me that it's right to club seals. He's just too good!

  • Manual labour is honest work (and arguably noble) unlike much of the media.

  • er, I don't think the point Charlie was making was about anything other than the meaningless way modern culture can catapult a piece of worthless shit into the public realm.

  • @largegent So you don't think it had anything to do with the fact that 1000's of people decided to bully a 13 year old girl online?

    Even though thats kind of what he said.

  • Shucks, now I can't stop imagining Rebecca Black crying all in one note while she still has a huge smile on her bizarre face.

  • Charlie Brooker is great but i preferred him when he had shitty hair and looked like a mole

  • He's hardly defending her, just saying all the abuse she got made her more famous than the shit song.

  • interesting take. definitely made me think.

  • Basically you can't outwit Charlie Brooker!

  • I felt sorry for Rebecca Black... :'( she still can't sing

  • this man is everything i aspire to be

  • charlie. i love you

  • I blame the parents.

  • "it's not funny....!"

  • The internet mob can be immensely cruel. ...she probably should have realized that before reading anonymous comments.

  • So what your saying Charlie, is even a shrill, auto-tuned wannabe fame harlot is better than an honest wage slave, 'coz she has the DREAM. Don't lament the relentless devolution of music then, the posers have it right.

  • @allaboutdmagic

    I think he's more having a go at the people who told a 13 year old girl to go die from an eating disorder, I wouldn't call them an Honest wage slaves...just a pricks,

  • @allaboutdmagic Mainstream music was becoming shit whether Rebecca Black recording that piece of shit or not. What Charlie is saying is that every hateful comment and every 'watch this, it's so bad' forward made this girl a star rather than someone who deserves it and that's something we as a culture should be thoroughly ashamed of. As for 'the devolution of music' here's how you stem that tide: Step 1. Find a good act Step 2. BUY their music Step 3. Repeat steps 1 and 2. It isn't rocket science

  • @bagser1 I think he was more concerned with a young girl's birthday present being a epicentre for vicious bullying - its blandness or otherwise being a side note, and her fame was an ironically excellent result for the mob's actions - he never calls her fame something to be ashamed of, most pop culture is bland and always has been - don't pretend we recently entered a dark age, I remember East17.

  • @JapeUK Point taken, maybe I'm just projecting my opinion on to Charlie here :)

  • @bagser1 I'm not sure that's the issue at all, its a by-product of the whole affair. Everyone still seems to be missing or ignoring the fact that 100,000 people decided to bully and harass a 13 year-old girl. Fuck the issue of celebrity and her music.... What if she hadn't taken it on the chin and actually killed herself? It does happen.

  • @bagser1 Edit: Just noticed you already responded to a similar point, fair one. I'm not having a go, just something I've noticed.

  • I respect you so fucking much for this.

  • 'who accurately look at you like you're nothing'

    brilliant little quote lol

  • way to defend the little girl from haters, by insulting every person that works selling burgers and cleaning floors. fuckin retards

  • @chrysillo struck a nerve did he? he was just referring to how people that have accomplished nothing are quick to take shots at someone for having a go at something..oh and just remember to get down on friday cos thats the day you mop the fuckin floor!

  • Charlie Brooker is an absolute legend.

  • brooker power!

  • Charlie Brooker is an absolute hero

  • as usual charlie brooker is so fucking right haha

  • Best video I've ever watched. Charlie Brooker is a fucking hero.

  • i did not understand a single thing cause of bad quality and hes acent fuck this she sucks bullies suck we all suck! Lol.

  • @prettylitleliar20pr That's what English sounds like when pronounced properly babes.

  • He is absolutely brilliant!

  • Fried Egg, Fried Egg.

  • I HOPE REBECCA BLACK CUTS HERSELF another slice of birthday cake.

  • He came up with the PERFECT ironic punishment for all those hating trolls!

    But WHERE did he get that box at 3:22 ? Does anyone know?

  • @n3rdopolis i'm guessing the box was a mock-up made by the props department.

  • @n3rdopolis I think it's probably a mock up prop... are you serious?

  • @killingspiders1 I figured it was probably that... But for all we know he could have found it in some obscure corner of the Internet...

  • @n3rdopolis True,True.

  • Usually I love Charlie Brooker but I didn't like this.

    Obviously bullying is bad (mm'kay)., but Charlie Brooker saying that she's better/more successful than people because she is famous is wrong. Pete Doherty is famous, Joey Barton is famous, are these men better than non famous people? Also, I don't agree that success is measured by the level of fame you achieve or how much money you earn.

    As I said, I like Charlie Brooker, but this isn't for me.

  • @thegman1221 He's not saying she's "better", he's just pointing out the stupid irony that all the people who despised her so much made her rich and famous. When simply ignoring her would have left her relatively meaningless.

  • @thegman1221 I certainly agree with you that success shouldn't be measured by how much fame and money someone has. It should be measured by the decisions they make and the way they live their lives. I'd say thousands of people bullying a 13 year old girl by leaving hate messages to her on the internet and telling her to die is pretty shameful. Trying to take them down a peg or two is probably the least they deserve and i think Charlie does it very well in this clip.

  • @thegman1221 no he's not saying she's better than these people, he's saying that maybe they shouldn't waste thier lives hating on someone who is actually trying to do something and get their own lives sorted out,

  • @flynntheman90 I'd say she's better than those people

  • @thegman1221 Not the point of the clip whatsoever. The point is that all these hate messages are what has made her famous in the 1st place. He's just sticking it to them, because it's ironic that these people calling her "useless" is what brought her a bit of fame. He's even admitting he dosen't like what she's done, but he's not going to moan about it, and give her the attention. Those hate messages have probably set her up for life.

  • Jumped the shark.

  • This was really good of Charlie. It was an undeniably dreadful song and she achieved nonsensical fame, but telling her to die and kill herself is a tad scummy. Besides, she had her flash in the pan, if the people who abused her weren't so stupid they might have realised she'd only be famous for a few weeks anyway.

  • Mickey Rourke's photo for Muammar Gaddafi @ 00:40 was priceless! :)

  • Comment removed

  • Charlie's perspicacity is unrivalled!

  • See, this is why I love Charlie. And why I feel so sorry for Rebecca, I just want to give her a hug. She's 13! No 13 year old should have to go through what she did and she handled it so well too.

  • finally, someone willing to talk down those assholes that pick on her. people really don't realize how harsh their words can be. it's terrible.

    calling someone a whore and telling them to cut themselves doesn't make you any better. you've just become more a pathetic piece of crap that will never get an actual life beyond a computer screen

  • Perfect.

  • I agree with him. Although I dont like Rebecca Black at all and I think her musc is rubbish, I would never tell her to cut herself. I think those bullies are just trolls wanting to yell at someone more famous that them. what pricks

  • Hm. I think there is something to be said about the whole Rebecca Black phenomenon, but Charlie didn't really focus on it (the idea that it was most likely a publicity stunt in the first place from producers realising that, in the internet age, it's more lucrative to be hated than liked).

    And the whole "well, she's famous and wealthy, what have you done?" argument is so flawed it's almost embarrassing to see it coming from his mouth.

  • He's so right, my sister showed me the song saying look how lame this is. But still I contributed to the 161 million hit figure. We have the same problem with television, people watch the shows and complain, not watching crappy shows or listening to crappy songs will make the song writers and television writers to make something good.

  • charlie brooker is god, not for 'defending' rebacca black cus i would like to be in her posistion, hated but getting money lol.

  • This show is awful. Mitchell and Brooker clearly hate doing it. Both of them need to get off Channel 4 and return to the promised land of the Big British Castle.

  • Charlie Brooker is my idol. "gotta get down on Friday because that's the day you mop the fucking floors" ha dickless muelings lol!!

  • @coolgirl22xxx

    the ability to hide behind a internet alias, its a tool a lot of ppl sadly misuse

  • note to humanity, don't make charlie brooker angry, you won't like him when he's angry

  • @synthkid220 You speak the truth.

  • actually it's not just peole who like metal who are close minded either it's also those that listen to hip hop cuz they never give a chance to actually try and listen to, so if you dont like being judged then don't judge others until you've given a chance to actually listen to it instead of jsut sit and piss about how people don't like the same stuff as you. mrdoucheington

  • See how right he is?

    The only problem is, most of cunts that complain are from america, so really they needed someone over there to bitchslap the populace into shutting the fuck up and learning to ignore all this soppy bollocks.

  • @Hysteria98 Most of the cunts that are complaining like twats are from the UK. Fucking whiny ass chavs

  • @cyberslick18 No, it is just mostly americans, whenever there's some new teen fad around, it'll spawn from america.

    they're are always the first and last to never stop referencing someting they hate, its not funny to joke about something you hate more than 3 times, it just becomes pathetic and outdated, and at the end of the day, you're only making it worse.

  • @cyberslick18 Well she ain't getting dragged on primetime chat shows like Leno and Degeneres and news programmes over here to talk about how everyone "hates" her. Plus it was only minor news here for like a day. Guess what I'm trying to say is you couldn't be more wrong.

  • first Pearson to sing through her nose

  • Metal Genre is for elitist close minded fag fan boys who can't agree to anything just sayin...

  • Skrillex sent me here!

  • Best ever.

  • Because EVERYONE wants to go on Jay Leno! EVERYONE!

  • And now we know why Rebecca Black's song is always a related video on SKRILLEX's uploads.

  • @Anonym0109 because skrillex is shit too?

  • @Bjarku

    No.

    Because you've choked on both of their cocks.

  • @Anonym0109 but skrillex has a vagina

  • @Bootstrap193 Well you got me there.  He IS like the great mother of his dear young genre.

  • @Anonym0109 Well that genre ain't dubstep, because that's been around since like 2001.

  • 2:01 - 2:10 best part

  • Faggot.

  • Jorn sent me here.

  • haters gon hate LOL. 

  • Thumbs up if SKRILLEX sent you (:

  • sounds like scary monsters nice sprites

  • sKRILLEX!

  • lol you can't add comments to the original Friday video xD

  • @shadowdriftar96 go away

  • The day I hear that song on the radio is the day ive lost all hope for human kind(: ive never heard a more annoying voice than hers.

  • @TheSullenRiot lol i've heard it on the radio at work

  • @TheSullenRiot

    I know, I don't hate on her because they lyrics are horrible and she's stupid, those are far too obvious... people seem to ignore the fact that, even when auto-tuned, she sounds horrible.

  • She's not good, but he is absolutely right.

  • @shadowdriftar96 Yessss it is annoying ! .. but i suport here ...

  • Her voice is so annoying.

  • @OceanCinema It is annoying. The song really sucks, too. But wanting someone dead over a fucking song? Straight-up bullshit.

  • I honestly don't even care about Rebecca Black, I just hear a bunch of teenage boys riding her big tranny dick. Stop talking about her and she'll never go back on the Tonight show. Oh and she has an annoying voice and no talent, just sayin'

  • I agree, she should cut herself, get an eating disorder and then die.

  • lmfao

  • 11 people don't understand how satire works.

    What Brooker is pointing out here is she might be awful or whatever, but you fuel the problem by using the internet to whine about her existence; no publicity is bad publicity. He spent a good portion of another one of his shows explaining how hatred of an annoying celebrity fuels their careers just as much as those annoying fans of their's that you hate.

    I would say this more an attack on the weak bullies than a defence of her though.

  • :D

  • @synthkid220 I think he's referring to the people who said Skrillex sent me "hear" not Charlie Brooker..

  • how much? 13 yearsssssss?! fuck meeeeee, in my country 25 year old ladies look like her

  • @AORNOfficial the wonders of make up!

  • and fuck this ungly brtitish cunt

  • @0beyy It's on my to-do list. :D

  • sonny moore is a fagget and skrillex is outdated shitty dubstep

    fuck skrillex fuck rebecca black fuck skrillex and his shitty music

  • @0beyy Spelled "Faggot" theres mistake number 1, your 2nd mistake is your life. Shitty dubstep when he changed the face of that genre forever?! And i like it how Sonny went from, From First to Last, too just being self titled as Sonny Moore, and is now Skrillex. When Skrillex came around he was all over the beatport billboards, his basslines where untouchable. So i guess that's "Outdated" huh? No matter what your ignorant ass says, nobody cares about your opinion, so don't voice it! K thanks :D

  • @GBMetriq i can't help but feel you've contradicted yourself with that last sentence lol

  • @0beyy Fag.

  • i see im not the only one sent here by skrillex lolsies

  • somebody obviously has a crush on rebecca black

  • Skrillex Ftw. xD Rebecca Black, GTFO.

  • nice speech!

  • @LostTG

    When I see other artists do it, the comments get like two thumbs up and then get marked for spam x1000. Skrillex's get like 500 thumbs up.

  • Illiterate? What, because he's English? If you had payed attention to the video you would see he's not really defending Rebecca Black, rather he's telling the people who made fun of her that all they did was make her more famous. Which is true. If no one had passed around that stupid video, it wouldn't have gotten a thousand views.... And she would still be some random teenage girl no one cared about.

  • We all know u like the guys music just stop acting like a bunch of fag groupies! ...a former skrillex fan

  • This is so great! Not only for the awesome humor. Good to see someone trying to do something about all the cowardly and sick trollers out there. Who says that stuff to a little girl, wtf is wrong with you? Yes the song makes you wanna be sick, but thats not her fault, if you wanna do something constructive attack the producers, attack whoever made bieber famous, in fact im asking you to do this please!

  • i can't believe skrillex sent me to watch this. watching someone even REMOTELY defend rebecca black's stardom makes me sick

  • @hobogun right..cause screaming at a little girl to cut her wrists and die is totally cool. skrillex sent you here cause hes not a loser like those crazy dicks who attack a little girl. No one likes her man, but what they do is insane, can you imagine them saying that to her face? Just cause its over a computer they think its ok.

  • @jomastretch its the internet, jomasstretch. crude and ridiculous comments are inevitable here. get used to it.

  • @jomastretch i never said screaming at a little girl to cut her wrists was okay. not a clue where you got that from.

  • @hobogun oh sorry dude, thought you were defending the haters. He isnt defending her stardom, he hates the music and that she is famous, he is blaming all the haters for making her famous. If they had of shut up she wouldnt be nearly as famous. So they are shooting themselves in the foot and ruining it for everyone else.

  • I never get thumbs up. :(

  • Who the fuck is Skrillex?

  • @mamitachocolate electro/dubstep musician check him out hes got some good songs

  • @mamitachocolate a badass artist the whole world knows!

  • fucking awesome

  • she's famous? um more like infamous dumb brit get it right.

  • @elti54 Famous- having a widespread reputation, usually of a favorable nature; renowned; celebrated: a famous writer.

    Usually favorable but not all the time

  • @Ham906 and this is why u fail just as much as him, you don't know the definition of infamous

    here you go dumb fuck scrub

    –adjective

    1. having an extremely bad reputation: an infamous city.

    2. deserving of or causing an evil reputation; shamefully malign; detestable: an infamous deed.

    but really, nice try bro

    byebye :)
