New series of Screenwipe!

[insomnia]

A sci-fi before it at 11 Random Quest from Triffids bloke, i'm gonna watch, just a heads up.

 

[exleper]

We're five minutes in and already I'm laughing out loud and gasping with relief that somone on telly thinks similarly to me.

God I've missed Charlie Brooker.

 

[insomnia]

I gave in Smallville was shit tonight, CB was great but i hate him, he has the TV show i created albeit in my head.

 

[Ranbay]

missed it,, Will download it tomorrow

 

[sam/phallocrat]

fucking quality

 

[joustmaster]

good show

 

[fogbat]

Excellent work.

He even got some social commentary in there, among the dick jokes

Incidentally, I think Paul Ross's Big Black Book of Horror could become the best stoned viewing, ever.

 

[girasol]

I feel asleep half-way through it (as the Night Nurse kicked in) but the bit about the Brand-Ross 'scandal' was very good.

 

[exleper]

absolutely spot on I thought - he managed to simultaneously insult daily mail readers, and newspapers in general, and insult russell brand in tow.

i fucking love brooker.

 

[Tank Girl]

I'm so glad screenwipe's back

Anyone got the DVD of Dead Set, BTW? I am feeling a tad let down....

oh no, what's disappointing about it?

 

[Griff]

"No, you're a cunt!"

Good stuff.

 

[fogbat]

He's so back on form - at the end of the programme, I just leant back and felt glad to have kept the Brooker faith.

 

[isitme]

"No, you're a cunt!"

Good stuff.

that is the basis of all his jokes

 

[Griff]

that is the basis of all his jokes

Well I thought he was correct about the bloke off Brittannia High.

 

[isitme]

Well I thought he was correct about the bloke off Brittannia High.

oh i think hes funny

but he does just sit about calling everyone on tv a cunt

it's win-win

 

[fogbat]

Pissweasel is an excellent term, also.

 

[Santino]

Programme is too short!

 

[Sadken]

Good show, back on form.

Loved Tim Key's 'poem'.

 

[Jeff Robinson]

A counter-ofcom system for non-offended viewers to counteract the moral hysteria whipped up by the scumbag media? I like the idea of that.

 

[FabricLiveBaby!]

Loved it!

 

[Dravinian]

I didn't bother watching that shit based on BB and zombies.

I did however watch Screenwipe, which is consistently excellent.

First 3mins in and I have already laughed heartily and agreed completely.

His piece on the newspapers was totally spot on.

"....no he's a cunt" .......oh fuck my sides hurt now.

 

[Iguana]

I thought it was a bit of a mixed bag. I thought the poem was boring and Tarbuck's bit was odd, the Paul Ross stuff went on a little bit too long. But it was all worth it for the toilet paper song.

 

[Awesome Wells]

oh i think hes funny

but he does just sit about calling everyone on tv a cunt

it's win-win

everyone on tv is a cunt.

 

[Epico]

A counter-ofcom system for non-offended viewers to counteract the moral hysteria whipped up by the scumbag media? I like the idea of that.

Definately. It's always annoyed me that millions of people can watch/hear/see something - and yet if a stupidly low number of people complain - it can be pulled.

Brooker is ace.

 

[Jon-of-arc]

I'm so glad screenwipe's back



oh no, what's disappointing about it?

Oh, nothing really. Just didn't stand up to such an immediate re-watch and also the extras are a tad poo. imo.

Tee-hee.

I agree. Thie 'first half' was great, zingy, then far too much poem, Ross and Tarbuck. Very uneven.

I like the props

 

[fogbat]

Anyone else tempted to write to ofcom to complain about the end credits?

 

[belboid]

damned good - except for him seemingly thinking that the Brand/Ross thing was on the telly
