I like his output. I think he's funny. I find myself agreeing with him frequently. All good things. But the whole I hate people thing is really tiresome. Just be your cynical self and let us judge that, hmm? Now I enjoy cynical biting humor and I understand hating things, attitudes etc. But misanthropy in and of itself is not particularly admirable. I wish people stopped thinking he shits rainbows just because he has the "bravery" (read:churlishness) to say he hates people.
@turquoiZe the whole point of misanthropy is hating people. hence, i don't think he's too fussed if you find that tiresome. i sure don't give a shit about your bruised sensibilities and i actually like people. wish in one hand, shit in the other. see which one fills up first.
Charlie Brooker IS the second coming of Christ.Bow down before him or he will destroy you with his razor sharp wit and cynically laugh as you die.'He just happens to have a natural way of streaming consciousness onto paper,'oh right? what does he do channel the words and they appear,fucking hell he must be christ! Fuck off before I stream my fist into your bollocks.
I can't stand You Have Been Watching, I just can't watch it... Screenwipe was the magnum opus, maybe we'll never se anything like it again from Brooker. Hope that's not the case, I miss Barry Shitpeas
Same reason as people idolise Clarkson Clembo, they see Brooker as themselves if only they too had aplatform to perform on. Mind you a little Brooker goes a long way, small doses is best I find.
I am deeply offended to see Charlie Brooker in the same sentence as Graham Norton..!!! And to say the new Graham Norton - these two have absolutely nothing in common!
I don't see why they had to create a whole new C4 show for him, which is pretty mediocre I'm sorry to say (tho I <3 Charlie always and 4EVAAR) when he already has two excellent shows hidden away on BBC4. Why not just put Screenwipe and Newswipe on C4 primetime? Or do they think we're incapable of enjoying anything that's not in the effing quiz panel show format?
Oi Brooker. I didn't think you were a cnut. Did I just here you spout off some "myselfish" profanity. Why don't you wind that siht it in. Myself = reflexive or emphatic pronoun. Let's not hear it again when you mean "me".
@JediSlayer22 I'm aware of this, but I said it in the hope that someone would be helpful enough to point it out to me, anyway. Or realize that I was using some irony. Star Wars is a good film.
Charlie Brooker should be ashamed of 'You have been Watching'. There was a joke he had about Total Wipeout where he habitually repeated "he gone done fell in the water" which was quite amusing, but his obsession with it revealed that he had found a piece of comedy bronze in a pile of televisual gunge and was clinging onto it for dear life.
Woebegone if the show is ever recomissioned; Charlie Brooker is better than such clip show tripe.
@almightyjass "Awful little human"? How very dare you. I said Charlie Brooker is better than that show. And I am correct about his repetitive joke. He clung onto it to much, and rarely ever looks convinced he is part of a quality broadcast when presenting that show.
Graham Norton is flamboyant and overly happy, Charlie is cynical and curmudgeonly. And he wrote a zombie drama and some great satire, Graham wouldn't do that. And they're both ugly fuckers in completely different ways, Graham Norton looks like a boy band member after a horrific accident, whereas Charlie is more like a ballbag with a jawbone in it and a frog's face drawn on it.
As in, you insult people because you are a prick, or you insult people because they might call you a prick if you act like one the judgemental bastards?
I like Charlie Brooker, I'll always read his collumns or watch his shows, but I don't like how morons idolise him as the second coming of christ. He's just a very cynical man who happens to have a natural way of streaming consciousness unto paper.
I can just see a rebellion of Barry Shitpeas' storming parliament, dressed in topman's finest, demanding "the man" to "stop this bullshit; Charlie Brooker is our new leader cus he sez what I think".
New Graham Norton? No no.. Charlie Brooker has charisma, intellegence and proper comic ablility.... and hasn't got the second most irritating voice on TV. (first place reserved for alan carr)

actually the word douchebag is not nerly as good to describe this guy. i don't think there is a word for a guy who thinks that talking with a boy is acting like a pedophile. that is seriously retarded..probably his mom raped him.
LMFAOOO!!! is he he fuck the new graham norton! that is an insult to Charlie, graham is a wanker who over plays the gay jokes.. so boring! Charlie is fukin god hes not the new graham norton cuz no1 ever even liked graham
Charlie will go far unlike that other precosious twat!
Ahh shit man. this is like when you really like a band. then they gewt really popular. and then you start to hate them passionately until you can never even admit you liked them ever
I must disagree, Nathan Barley was very funny IMAO , Screenwipe was then even funnier ,However i found Newswipe to be a cut above them both, It was still a comedy program on paper, but some of the items featured were powerful ( The rise of O Dearism for example ) But watched you have been watching last night and thought it was at best, lame. Charlie should stick to what he does best or he is in danger of disappearing up his own backside..
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Most of Brooker's wittering in this video could be replaced with "I'm doing a panel show". This is a predictable move, further cementing Brooker into the role of "stereotypical tv shoutyman". Screenwipe was pretty good, Newswipe was poor. I'll be surprised if this is even as good as that. I'll never forgive you for Nathan Barley, Brooker- I watched it, I can't un-watch it!
lol - I have to say I quite like Michael McIntyre, but as a stand-up, I don't think he'd be very good as a panelist on a TV criticism show such as this one. The guests picked have been very good so far, though. If they keep that standard up, it should be a good 6 more weeks!
Brooker is obviously a man of extreme principal and knowledge; I think this show has to be funny, because Brooker would not have signed up to it if he knew it was worthless throw-away fodder he usually destroys on screenwipe...
