Charlie Brooker - Screen Wipe - S4-E1 - Part 1 of 3

[tkjp999]

If you take comedy seriously, you've already missed the point.

Stupid newspapers just love demonising and bringing people down

[flashmob3]

Yeah WHATEVER

[mrpsb7]

whats that track at the beginning? dum dum dum dum dum dum

[JTorney27]

@mrpsb7 Radio Gaga?

[oli696969]

@mrpsb7 grandaddy-am 180 It's from 28 days later

[asubjectiveopinion]

Am I the only one who thinks that the "storm" over Brand and Ross was contrived, probably by Brand's agent, to get Brand out of his contract with the BBC because he had received offers from Hollywood?

[sarahparsons87]

@asubjectiveopinion Yes, you probably are : \ 

[mrpsb7]

@asubjectiveopinion nice theory bro.

[MrLibertine84]

@asubjectiveopinion yeah

[tombomdoodle]

And the BBC thinks it should cut BBC Four's budget, because?

[davidofchinkov41]

making a doom version of britaina high would be soo epic XD!! you'd make millions~!

[ciaracustard]

I was so happy to see Thick of It up there with Monty Python.

[Amnesiac1331]

Lordy, I love this man.

[bluejeckett]

The main characters r targets as I like to call them.... lmao brooker is a legend Im Australian and never saw a single ep of this on telly, thank god for youtube

[graveey]

@Kinshasa9200 doesnt it suck watching this in the states when its all about english telly? glad you like it though, watch 'the day today' or 'brasseye', greatest english comedies of all time :)

[mandolinroad]

Again, why the fuck does the BBC censor swear words? It makes me angry.

[liamag92]

anyone know the song between 1.18-2.17

[nevillebloodybartos]

@liamag92 its Radio gaga by queen by the sound of it

[MrDg0000]

2:27 i pissed myself! XD

[Avradizimir]

The only person in the media who talks sense. His Guardian column is brilliant as well.

[n2003cc]

charlie brooker, adopt me. im 23.....be my dad

[MacraStraba]

I love The Young Ones' tampon sketch. This is one of the reasons I keep coming back to British comedy.

[PoisonInc]

The Young Ones and The Day Today were fantastic shows.

[alphaspecie224]

what is the name of the song at 3.03 ?

[f0b0m]

@alphaspecie224 Johann Johannson - The Rocket Builder.

Gotto say, they've got some taste.

[EbsNhexz]

The News report of the troubles in the Congo seems more worthy of causing a nationwide moral panic than some fucking phone call. It was expertly subtle to include that footage, but probably had the most sincere point.

[kojimapie]

9.25 Doom music! >=D fuck yeah

[FoxeyeReview]

Charlie Brooker surpasses all other british comedic talent by distance in my opinion. It's all so blisteringly articulated but also incredibly accessible and hilarious. Utter legend.

[mariotaz]

What the hell is Britannia High?

[kinglynx]

was it only one episode of gameswipe that he did?

[ShinDragonForce]

@kinglynx Yeah :/

[AtheismandSkepticism]

Amazing reaction that monty python bit got.

Quite tame by today's standards.

[snolan1990]

@AtheismandSkepticism That studio audience was part of the sketch itself.

[ScarlariaTV]

No one fucks with Mock the Week.

[ASH18YEARS]

@ScarlariaTV "Mock The Weak"

[Urielthemagicalcrab]

Whats the music at the start called?

[Ail3a]

@Urielthemagicalcrab The theme music? Am 180 by Grandaddy

[Urielthemagicalcrab]

@Ail3a Thank you so much

[tominator999]

Cheers for this!! More people need to upload episodes!!

[almightyjass]

christ, i just love his rant about newspapers and paps, he doesnt even play that part for humour, its powerful.

[ERST105]

Did Channel 4 news really play the Sachs thing before the refugee story? Holyshit...talk about warped priority.

[richardmaudsley77]

Doom E1M1 lol

But he really needs to get a better sound card.

[disamjisa]

What happened to xthemusic's channel? Wtf? This is worse than Moneygeddon!!!

[Explosiveelm]

@disamjisa A wizard gave him Super AIDS.

[liamuk08]

Charlie Brooker definitely is a zombie fan, his opening theme is from the 28 days later soundtrack, 9 minutes in he plays a song famously used in Dawn Of The Dead (which if you know what the movie is actually about, you will understand its connection).

And of course he made Dead Set.

[zatoichi12345]

i didnt give a toss abut the brand and ross thing.i just think they are both a pair of cunts who are as funny as catching your balls on a barbed wire fence.

[BriDzWorld]

A sense of humour is something your definately require.

[julz7196]

@zatoichi12345 well i think you may no get them because while there on your probly hiding under a desk fingering yourself, Russell was the best "character and if you didnt really know his origins from the past things hes done, you probly wouldnt of got him..that or your slow ;)

[Pryceman24]

"I'm now so old, my pussy is haunted."

Bloody-hell, I can't stop laughing.

[kentrel2]

@Pryceman24 I first saw that clip a year ago, and I'm still laughing. Now I've just rewatched it. See you in a year

[sneakybutler]

4:00 you know he wants to laugh. Seriously who cares about a load of P.C. Gimps who jump the OFCOM bandwagon. Not trying to sling mud back but andrew sachs did play the "loveable" spaniard who was always getting slapped and burnt.

[Yaotsu5356]

haha love the doom music at 9 27

[texaspete33]

"the main characters, or targets as i like to call them." hahaha loved tv go home, this is great

[1878EFC2008]

you can tell that guy wants to laugh when that woman repeats 'haunted pussy' joke.

[Jwo32]

whats the song at 1.53 etc, during the brand/ross bit?

[Jwo32]

i meant the music in the background you doofus. I have since discovered its Radio Gaga by Queen

[DaleCampbellAcoustic]

Chhhiiiiil Winston, thats what Brand was singing with Ross adding dums do in the background.

Still anyone who plays Roundabout by Yes can't be a complete "doofus" nice playing.

[Jwo32]

yea i know what you meant, i was just saying that when i asked what song it was, i obvisouly didnt mean the song that they were singing, i meant the background music. No worries though (cheers for your compliment!)

[Jwo32]

This is series 5 not 4

[bodah44]

watching or reading charlie brooker is like watching south park, i just sit there going: "thats exactly what I think!"

[mrsbeckyefron]

I couldn't agree more =]

[fritspas]

loved it when that news lass said the famous franky boyle joke about the haunted pussy :)

[tonyfinn1]

Brooker does for TV what Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw does for Video Games. We need more people like these guys.

[ColourBlindHero]

Its as if he doesn't understand whats wrong with what they did. He can talk about free speech and the papers all he wants but it doesnt change the fact that what they did was horrible.

[ukstreetracer]

i've never come across this guy before, by fuck he talks sense though!

[johnnyjy2k]

cant beleieve they tried complaining about mock the week...that shows just too awsomme to be stopped

[rockstardudexx]

Well Said Mr Brooker

[stimpy404]

i'd never heard of this charlie brooker before now, and already i'm in love!

"They fill their pages with shit and garbage on a daily basis" LMAO!

[FistOfJeff]

It's like he read my mind.

[Cookster5]

Charlie Brooker is a god.

[JinRenegade]

Thats just made me look stupid lol.

[JinRenegade]

Oh my god...I didn't know that once the audience got so annoyed in Monty Python they actually tried to beat them up.

What a bunch of idiots.

[JJ62]

Er no, it was Python being satirical.....

[zionravescene]

lol, metaphorical boats

[JJ62]

That's the most accurate description of the whole Ross/Brand debacle yet. God bless ya, Charlie

[johndehaura]

Agreed!

[TequilaKitty86]

Thanks for uploading this. I don't have Freeview (yet) and it hasn't been put on iPlayer so wouldn't have been able to watch it otherwise. :)

[johndehaura]

No problems. Charlie is great.

I've added them to a playlist [3x10 min sections]

Enjoy!

[Mysterious0Bob]

It is on iPlayer. I need it on YouTube because the university blocks iPlayer.

[TequilaKitty86]

Really? When I had a look I couldn't find it. Oh well.

[benjula2006]

actually series 5..
