the first half of this segment had me pissing myself with laughter, then the second half had me screwing up my face trying desperately hard not to burst into undignified tears. jesus, charlie

Oh my God this is the best part from any Screenwipe I've ever seen. Ever. The first part was the funniest, the second part was absolutely beautiful and heartbreaking. Also, I think I detected the use of music by Stars of the Lid in the part about mr. Postgate. That automatically makes this one of the best things ever seen on television. I had me in reverential awe.

Dammit. I'm too young to have had those masterpieces in my childhood yet I still feel nostalgic and sad. How is that even possible?

@451harri The only people who think that he is are witless and puerile themselves.

@duffeknol Agreed, and thank you for the tip about the music, I've been wondering what it is for ages, because it's awesome.

"I'm the image and lightness of God, I am, I am" RFLOL... You can use that puppet to sell almost anything...

the music in the background makes this so scary.

[R33Racer]

If only this was a live audience broadcast, it deserves a massive applause.

"Watch me as I exorcise my misbegotten soul from this unworthy vessel, and use it to make the corpse of a bear sing the song that shall end the world!"

Anyone who thinks Charlie is witless and Peurile needs to watch the end of this episode.
