[CastellanKat]

Looks like an episode of Doctor Who.

[treefrog2108]

bastard pens,I never trusted them. I dip my weiner in ink to write my notes.

[RyanGiggsOBE]

im shocked Hollywood havent ripped off this idea in some big budget flasy 3D film

[tails22x]

This is nothing compared to the upcoming hangnail apocalypse...

[fuckAdoddleDO]

Use a pencil.

[Jonnyx2376]

what about sign language?

[NiceHotCupOfBro]

@Jonnyx2376 Well, if ow people figure fuck shit that out before motherfucking ouch the earth explodes, chances argh are people's piss off HANDS will get hot, too jesus skullfucking christ.

[artemisroxs]

[Israfvel]

Pretty funny stuff. Take that, doomsday scenarios.

[bradkey98765]

OW SHIT OW TOO HOT

[CaitlinCakexx]

...Just use a pencil ??

[Aidsus]

Whoever wrote this script was really high.

[Mueize]

WTF who or what would want to see this?

[451harri]

@Mueize It's a joke.

[Mueize]

@451harri so is it a joke as in not a real TV show or joke as in it's a joke to think some one would want to watch this TV show ?

[451harri]

@Mueize It's a joke within a TV show telling you that it's a joke and using it to make a point about television. Like I said, CONTEXT: watch?v=AxQuHocBmxw

[eternalgracenote]

Totally reminds me of the Life After People and Apocalypse 2012 documentaries.

[TheScientist0000000]

ow ow I'm gonna kill you all ow

[TheScientist0000000]

Who the fuck thought this up? And who ok'ed it? Promote all three of them.

[aclarke0100]

Just watched the episode on love, how true made me not only laught but consider my own take on relationships.. 

[BennettChainmail]

@HighHemplar Have you watched the whole episode that this segment is a part of? If you think it's stupid just watching it on its own then you need to watch the episode to understand the context of it.

[mcgigglish]

@HighHemplar I think the first version is better :) more concise

[451harri]

@HighHemplar I think you should probably get some context instead of just taking one small demonstrative segment part of a half-hour programme about the hysteria promoted by modern schlock documentaries tackling hypothetical situations with the most ridiculous imagery and tone possible. watch?v=AxQuHocBmxw

[HighHemplar]

@451harri Damnit I'm not trying to watch a whole episode of this. I'm American, if you can't make a point in 3 minutes you've lost my interest

[davidajgp]

@HighHemplar Gladly to help have cut it down my self

[HighHemplar]

wow this is really stupid. Can't believe people went through all trouble to make this video. What an astounding waste of time, I mean it's not even funny though.

[lauracida]

@HighHemplar wow. you are one intelligent, quick-witted chap.

[HighHemplar]

@lauracida Although you neglected to use "⸮", I will assume you meant to be sarcastic to defend this video for whatever reason. I found out later this video is part of a longer TV show so I'll admit I might have been overly harsh considering the video as it was taken out of it's larger context. Still, when viewing this video by itself I stand by my previous statements.

[fingerprint211b]

I laughed. As always when watching anything made by Charlie Brooker.

[vanzahn]

'Peril consultant'. brilliant!

[FUGlitchyLogin]

Someone mentioned the nestene consciousness in relation to this, good eye, I missed that one.

[planetraptor420]

31 justin bieber fans missed the like button

[babyBELUGAr]

[freddenbocken]

2012

[ollytennant]

How do you go from no communication to world exploding? lol =P

And what about sign language?

[BennettChainmail]

@ollytennant If you can do sign language I imagine your arms and hands would get so hot that they would fall off and you would be left screaming as you watch the burning remains of your arms reduce to ash on the ground and blow away with the wind

[Jaidali]

Ow Ow canadjan tv sucks compaired to this ow ow

[SquareHeadMaster]

Does anybody recognize the music on the trailer for this program?

[princessqweenjesika]

omg my form tutor played this

[JPLTF373]

[SLiV9]

"But with no type-written text on the autocue, the news anchors are powerless to help"

Lmao.

[spycrab101]

Woo! A new episode of Hot Ink Investigation!

[gamepro786]

ow ow ow

tumbs up for charlie brookers

[JinRenegade]

@gamepro786 Ow piss off ow

[gamepro786]

@JinRenegade shut up dick

[JinRenegade]

@gamepro786 Didn't get the joke? Go to 1:49.

"Ow piss of ow"

"Ow no u piss off ow"

[gamepro786]

@JinRenegade nah just makkin a stupid joke das all

[Olly999]

Damnit, now I wish I'd never watched TV. To be fair to myself, I can't be arsed with watching useless TV with ads these days, for the last 5 years or so I've simply downloaded or recorded what I want to watch. Much better if you ask me.

Still, those scary documentaries, they're sort of built-in to your response to things.

Horrible thought that is, I suppose nothing in life is without bias. No-one can see something in complete clarity :P. I suppose it makes life interesting though.

[Sleeper919]

Heheh I loved the bit with the frisbee in the toaster. In the full episode I mean.

[nikoli46]

i dunno i found this very funny but i like random stuff and things that would never happen

[billstrom456]

ow fuck hot ow ow ow

[ErniePi]

this is chris morris lite, same style but nowhere near as funny

[StreakXD]

ow I'll be ow watching this! ow

[midianholic]

Crikey, this is hardly Brass Eye or Time Trumpet.

[Stupoider]

Reminds me a lot of Time Trumpet. Should be interesting!

[phrasers]

To even compare this to the genius of any of Chris Morris' work is an insult.

[TheFowlyetti1]

This looks really good.. Clearly spoofing Discovery Channel type shows where they make up ridiculous scenarios then get 'experts' to talk straight faced about them.

[ryangscott]

@TheFowlyetti1 no... really?... my god, I almost threw out my pens....

[TheFowlyetti1]

@ryangscott Im pleased you got it, but if you saw some of the comments before i posted, you would understand why i had to explain.

[yourverysilly]

dogs on a speedboat

[kingharris22]

This is not exactly pure Brooker, its a new format of his so this should be good

[r4h331io]

charlton brooker is so damn funny

[norsef]

"Like dogs yabbering on a speed boat"

You can tell Charlie has worked with Chris Morris.

Also Kevin Eldon is definitely one of my absolute favourite comedy performers.

[kingfelch]

look everyone it's the Actor / Prime Minister Kevin Eldon

[TheCSMman]

Well im tuning in for this.

[spashieee]

argh fuck piss hot fuck arrrgjh

[Plexuz0]

ow fuck hot ow ow

[TheCitymonster]

WTF=ENDING

[rosebaywilowerb]

wish he would do more screenwipe. im not finding this funny personally

[CrazyEddi3]

@rosebaywilowerb Personally, fuck off and stop whining.

[dystopia47]

yay kevin eldons back

[Karmaffix]

Wtf is this...

[SterlingSaint]

@Karmaffix This is Brooker.

[scumspeedy]

HAHAHA dogs on a speedboat. Serious serious brasseye flashback then.

[randar3]

Barry Shitpeas? 2:03?

[jjmcjohnson]

Charlie brooker and chris morris both ripped off victor Lewis smith. Long live VLS!!!!

[daveylad13]

@jjmcjohnson Think you'll find Morris was doing similar stuff at the same time Victor Lewis Smith was in the late 80s and early 90s. Surely you don't deny yourself the pleasure of listening to Morris because you think he ripped someone off? That would be awful

[jclwhite]

This is really just Brass Eye rehashed. News satire is forever in the shadow of Chris Morris.

channel4.com/programmes/brass-­eye/4od

[daveylad13]

@jclwhite Brooker co-wrote Brass Eye, so what's your point? If he does something similar again, good. The world needs stuff like this to keep the mentalists from taking over.

[phrasers]

@daveylad13 No he didn't, he only worked on the 2001 special.

[daveylad13]

@phrasers True. But he's a long time collaborator of Morris. I thought the show was good.

[jclwhite]

@daveylad13 I didn't know that, Brooker has been involved in so much good comedy over the last 20 years! I find that hes repeating himself alot now, the programmes he makes overlap in content hugely. You could prettty make his new series about how television has ruined us by cutting and pasting bits from newswipe and screenwipe.

Im not saying he hasnt been original though, screenwipe was a breath of fresh air, really digging its claws in to how sh*t tv like no other show.

[451harri]

@jclwhite That's going to help News Satire improve, isn't it? this entire programme isn't news satire, anyway. Like I keep saying, get some bloody context! we're aware of Chris Morris, we're watching videos made by a man who co-wrote Brass Eye for christ's sake. And he's not doing News Satire. watch?v=AxQuHocBmxw

[DazJamesW]

Classic Brooker. You laugh at it, but realise afterwards that real news isn't actually too far off the sketch version and then you feel a little sad inside.

[lukas316815]

if its from brooker then its gonna be superb, the man is a genius...and im a whore yes

[Phan801]

[Kiwigal84]

[scousereddy2468]

wtf!

[hybridpsycho]

I know this is suposed to be funny, but it's not. It's just simply stupid

[DahRecruit]

Right..

[McFro95]

"Brand new comedy series in which Charlie Brooker uses a mix of sketches and jaw-dropping archive footage to explore the gulf between real life and television.

From hysterical public information films to grisly crime dramas, terror spills out of almost every channel. As Charlie explores TV's approach to fear, you won't know whether to laugh or scream. Warning: contains traces of Michael Buerk and a semi-naked lady." I got this from the BBC website for you guys who was wondering what's goin down.

[McFro95]

just hit the keys on the keyboard with a twig lol

[bamuchem]

[The1stPoster]

@andrewhenman Nope. I definitely read it as "Penis".

[tonton6877]

what the f*** is this,.,.,.

[HannahIsUnoriginal]

@tonton6877 read the description: Charlie Brooker's sketch about TV's obsession with dramatic "What If" scenarios.

[tonton6877]

@HannahIsUnoriginal ..,.hi there sorry.,.but maybe im dead before it happens,.,.

[sausagedogmcgee]

Also, the bit where people on the internet start posting "aargh" made me laugh like an idiot.

[sausagedogmcgee]

Charlie Brooker was one of the writers on Brass Eye, wasn't he?

This reminds me so much of it. I'm looking forward to seeing it.

[musictimeallthetime]

this is so random!

[onizukademongto]

So TV is going to eventually blow up the world.

Looking at the program guide for tonight...well.

Yeah. I can't disagree with this crap being shown....

:/
