thief Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 its weird, normally when i see the hosts for those shitty panel shows, i think "yeah well i can see why they do it, the money must be good, and they're not really talented enough to do anything else" but charlie is talented enough to do something else. so the money must be DAMN good. weird to see him hosting a show like this instead of taking the piss out of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackdust Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 YHBW is no where near as good as screenwipe was/is but it was still funny. He has a new show coming out next year where he interviews "normal" people and picks apart everything about them in their mundane life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kakapo Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 i like those clips, what's the best example of his work, or.. best place to start? Probably the various 'wipe series. He came to prominence through tvgohome, which was a satirical tv listings website. Cunt, a regular feature of tvgohome, then formed the basis of Nathan Barley, which he wrote in conjunction with Chris Morris. It's an acquired taste (I like it) but worth tracking down. He writes for the Guardian a lot also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pylonbitch Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 charlie brooker is funny as fuck. screenwipe is compulsory viewing. should also check out 'dead set'??.. i think it was called that anyway, ch4 zombie apocalypse/big brother mashup. written by cb. tight stuff. and hats off to davina for being a zombie. his column in the guardian was good too. he stopped doing it recently, but you can still view the xrchive online.

Guest Coalbucket PI Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 I didn't rate Dead Set. There is an old pre-Screenwipe thing called How To Watch Television which is worth finding, I only discovered it recently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Conor74 Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Presume marriage will have to mellow him, because from now on every time he has a go at bland vacuous shite on telly you think 'and your wife is the very epitome of it'.

I think that's sort of why he's moving out of scathing TV commentary, cause he's all over TV now and knows all the people. Said something along those lines in the guardian article when he quit the TV column Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say Endemol is the very epitome of it, and oh the incestuous irony, Brooker's production company Zeppotron is part of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
