Charlie Brooker has made a number of shows about TV shows/news/video games, writes hilarious reviews for TV and newspapers, hosted a live entertainment show in 2011 (with Mitchell & Carr as his co-hosts!), but of course, you'd probably know him more as the creator/writer of Black Mirror. (Fun facts : he started out writing for a PC gaming magazine and has a cameo appearance in a Sniper Elite game as one of Hitler's bodyguards!)
1:10:06 I didn't recognize it at first because of the copyright text, but you ABSOLUTELY need to watch Robert Webb's full dance, including the clip of him preparing etc. It is glorious.
The MP expenses scandal was a scandal caused by MP's (Member's of Parliament) that were usuing their expenses accounts (which are supposed to be for travel, housing and staffing expenses when they travel etc) were being used unscrupulosly for other things. One MP literally claimed money for the heating in the stables for his horses while his party were cutting funding and benefits for the poor who were having trouble heating their homes. However the majority of claims were stupid things like hiring gardening and landscaping firms to fix their gardens etc. For added context the basic salary (not includng their second jobs as board members of companies etc) is £86,584 a year, which equates to ~$110,230...which is why any MP expense fraud is so galling they receive hefty payment every year and still try to steal public funds.
When Russel says to Jonathan about leaving voicemails they are referring to a voicemail they left Andrew Sachs about his granddaughter. Russel and Jonathan were suspended by the BBC in 2008 because they did it on Russels BBC radio show
38.15 Rob's "Now then, now then . . ." shctick was an impression of a certain fella called Jimmy Savile, who at that time was sadly still alive and free
True shit! This was heavy metal in the 80's along with Maiden, Priest, Kiss, Saxon... the hair metal was more the LA glam metal scene with Hanoi Rocks, Poison, Motley Crue, Ratt, Faster Pussycat...
I really enjoyed the 4th plinth project, they had a webcam set up and you could just go check what there was going on. Once I remember a chap had set up a deckchair and was sat there reading a newspaper
Gotta say guys, doing these big fat quiz reactions is inspired, great content, 2 hours at a time, with a nice backdrop of personal history... good pick:)
Charlie Brooker written for loads of things like 11oclock show and brasseye and you might like his weekly wipe where he and others talk about things that happened over the week on news and tv.
I know who the guy in the séance is (looks like Jimmy), that is Michael Lewis who auditioned on X factor twice; once dressed as Michael Jackson singing "Rock with you" and the year after with no special costume or make up and sang Geri Haliwell "Look at me". He had an awful singing voice and attitude to match.
At this point brooker was a comedic film and tv critic, he hadn't created his worldwide hit series yet....which you've referenced before. You've alredy been told so wont repeat it
Here's a way around the DVD region codes. Just buy a really cheap player from China. They cost about £20 with free shipping and they will play any disc from any country even pirate copies on VCDs...
I have to admit I almost died when Spencer did his toilet impression. Sounds like something that would be fun to include in a song. Nyeeeow, Ya ling ya ling ya ling ya ling ya ling, whgha whgha whgha! ( yeah, sorry, I don't know how to spell that sound xD )
the fly thing shows you the life cycle of viral videos. talking of which, the Bale thing was only so famous because the reason for him going bananas was completely silly. Also phones had cameras long before the iphone. My Nokia whatever had the first 1MP camera... I do't remember how many MB storage though.
Trying to guess a topical quiz from and based on 2009 is an uphill battle at the best of times. If you're unaware of what Roger Federer looks like (or who Charlie Brooker is, for that matter), fat chance.
If you want more Robert Webb, check out Fresh Meat. You also get Simon from inbetweeners, Jack Whitehall & a character called Howard who looks suspiciously like he might be your love child 🤔 Wouldn’t recommend getting deported from UK, you’ll end up in Rwanda
The Russel Brand nude picture has been censored not for rules and regulations. It's pretty safe to assume you know this show, and other UK shows, don't have issues with nudity. I'm guessing there was talks with Russel about the picture before or after filming and he just didn't want it showing on TV, again... Our broadcasting laws here in the UK is very different to those in the US. After 9pm you can say or show pretty much everything, with in reason. We can't see an open vagina or an erect penis. Tv shows can say fuck once and any more than that needs to requested, but they don't often get denied. One show called Bo-Selector had an impression of Micheal Jackson who's catchphrase was 'ChaMone Mother Fooker'. He says it about 50 times in one show. Also in a spin off quizz show called Celebrity Jiuce features full frontal nudity from both male and females. That show won TV awards and Bafta's. lol.
Did I understand that right, that you guys can't play DVDs from other regions? We all used to be able to watch them from anywhere, just needed the right software for it, that was about 20 years ago though so I suppose something could have changed
Incidentally he told a story about being a ball boy at Wimbledon on WILTY, i don't remember if it was true or not, but worth checking out his reel on there if you haven't already..
You guys need to react to taskmaster next. Essentially Greg Davies making my other comedians do shit, funny as hell and will help you discover more uk comedians
When I used to work on trucks, we also had a van workshop where I ended up working for the last couple of years I was there,and the manager in there had a lazy eye, now working on 44 ton trucks was hard work, but working with him was Hard....👀🤔🤷♂️😂😂💜
You guys REALLY need to watch Game of Thrones! You did not even get to the best parts, dude, and not seeing that epic series is a crime. There are a lot of people watching reactions of it every day.
Not excusing what Bale did by berating someone just doing their job but i think he wasn't totally himself at that point in his career because he went from American Psycho level physique to the Machinist and back to Batman/Terminator level physique and changing your body to that extreme really messes with you. That being said, still not okay to berate a worker just doing their job.
My first impression when I was about 2 was sheep noises we were staying on a farm and the sheep wandered in the kitchen oh the glamour thanks for this today guys me ever so tired enjoying this
I can't be the only one that clicked because the full title was obscured but the word "Fat" was visible and I thought you were reacting to another Fat Electrician video.
I love Russel, he's done nothing wrong but speak out against the establishment, funny how once he started pointing out the corruption, anonymous allegations of sexual assault come out and he gets cancelled on all media platforms. How do we take a person's lively hood away, without due process.
I never understood that dentist video. What kinda drugs are American dentists using?! I never get high at the dentist, it just numbs the area. Why would you use a drug that makes you behave weird? That means you need a driver afterwards and can't go to the dentist by yourself.
Sadly last time Russell is on. He kind of gives up the comedy soon after this and becomes messiah/profit thats he kind of been lately. But dont worry we will see Richard Aoyade nearly every year soon.
BROOKER Is the creator of black mirror

Charlie wrote/presented the 11 O'clock Show and Black Mirror.
Charlie also created and writes for the character of Philomena Cunk who now has her own series but she started on "Newswipe" presented by Charlie.
Sir David Attenborough gets his flirt on Graham Norton show , Brooker funny on wilty & weekly wipe
Put him down has a slightly different meaning to put him under.
Love you 2! You trying to understand British references and humour is hilarious lol
True shit! This was heavy metal in the 80's along with Maiden, Priest, Kiss, Saxon... the hair metal was more the LA glam metal scene with Hanoi Rocks, Poison, Motley Crue, Ratt, Faster Pussycat...
I urge you to watch the full performance of Robert Webb doing the Flashdance performance 😂 still one of my favourite videos
If you're not aware of Jedward, they're a bit like Oasis.
😂😂😂😂
Peter Andre said "He got a lot of 'aww's", not arse, that's how Jonathan flipped it.
I really enjoyed the 4th plinth project, they had a webcam set up and you could just go check what there was going on. Once I remember a chap had set up a deckchair and was sat there reading a newspaper

David Attenborough's one was Boaty McBoatface.
100% Dan is the straight man Spencer you add the nut job comedic value 😂 love you both bros

Tim Minchin's song was so descriptive of the answer that it pained me that you guys didn't get what it was. Sorry lads but come onn :)
At this point brooker was a comedic film and tv critic, he hadn't created his worldwide hit series yet....which you've referenced before. You've alredy been told so wont repeat it
The Denzel plain crash movie is “Flight” from 2012
Comedy Duo: Daniel is funny; Spencer is just confused!
na Peter said "he's gettin a lot of AHHS out back".......👀🤦♂😂Jonathon was jus playing on it for comic effect😂💜
"1987 Austin Allegro" the Allegro stopped being made in 1982 lol
As soon as they said Brooker and Mitchell you know who are going to win.
Charles one of philomena cunk writers... from cunk on earth fame
Roy had that keyboard cat on a tshirt on an episode of IT Crowd.
The only thing I know that was named after Attenborough was The Vessel That Deserved to be Boaty McBoatface, but that was 2016
Here's a way around the DVD region codes. Just buy a really cheap player from China. They cost about £20 with free shipping and they will play any disc from any country even pirate copies on VCDs...
Good to know that by your interpretation 'The Excorcist' is based on a girl praying, which, what got slightly out of hand?😂😂
I have to admit I almost died when Spencer did his toilet impression. Sounds like something that would be fun to include in a song.
Nyeeeow,
Ya ling ya ling ya ling ya ling ya ling,
whgha whgha whgha! ( yeah, sorry, I don't know how to spell that sound xD )
I think David told that story about his record collection on WILTY
The 2010 edition was one of the best due to Noel Fielding and Richard Ayoade. 😂😂😂
I think old X-Boxes play all kinds of dvd...
the fly thing shows you the life cycle of viral videos.
talking of which, the Bale thing was only so famous because the reason for him going bananas was completely silly.

Jimmy’s laugh is just like Eddie Murphy’s. Just different pitch.
If you want more Robert Webb, check out Fresh Meat. You also get Simon from inbetweeners, Jack Whitehall & a character called Howard who looks suspiciously like he might be your love child 🤔
Wouldn’t recommend getting deported from UK, you’ll end up in Rwanda
41 years old, flew by.
Both David Mitchell. I have a vase that needs valuing by the way
For the first time, I've decided to actually play along at home. This can't go well
I got 17, could have been worse I guess. Really good episode though, that was fun
Dont worry about points quesions are mainly local but you are prevtty cool foar americans who are interested in other countries
David Mitchell has a very beautiful wife and he doesnt dance.

You also should check out QI, they have a very interesting scoring system too.
And our politicians just got a pay rise to add to their "flexible" expenses.
Facebook doing social experiments
Charlie Brooker. 😄
Deportation doesnt mean free you still have to pay
You should definitely react to the Michael Jackson seance, it's incredible.
I've always thought Jimmy Carr was a Roger Federer look alike, Federer is the GOAT
Incidentally he told a story about being a ball boy at Wimbledon on WILTY, i don't remember if it was true or not, but worth checking out his reel on there if you haven't already..
You guys need to react to taskmaster next. Essentially Greg Davies making my other comedians do shit, funny as hell and will help you discover more uk comedians
Daniel is the Straight man ... and Daniel is the funny one

You guys REALLY need to watch Game of Thrones!
You did not even get to the best parts, dude, and not seeing that epic series is a crime. There are a lot of people watching reactions of it every day.
I found out Michael Jackson died by getting sent a joke about him dying…it was about an hour after it happened.
Busk and put card saying local charity donation

No points To vague lol
Russ for PM !
My first impression when I was about 2 was sheep noises we were staying on a farm and the sheep wandered in the kitchen oh the glamour thanks for this today guys me ever so tired enjoying this
- WHAT ABOUT BLACK ADDER ?
they already stated they got copyright blocked.
If you want to see more of Robert Webb and Olivia Coleman watch the movie confetti.
YOU DONT GET TO PAUSE, JUST ANSWER THE FUCKING QUESTIONS IN REAL TIME!!!¡!¡!¡!!!!!!!
Yeh I'm a year older than Daniel, I would've been 23 by the time this aired at the end of the year👀😭😂💜
Hate the Brand guy
I can't be the only one that clicked because the full title was obscured but the word "Fat" was visible and I thought you were reacting to another Fat Electrician video.

Get real he's a right creep and hiding behind the image of being anti-establishment.
He r@ped Manuel from Faulty Towers.
He's just a conspiracy theorist these days. Lost any respect for him when he told his, mostly young and left-leaning, fans not to vote as a protest.
Grow up, ffs! You know nothing!
He's a fucking creep who recognised he could make more money from hawking right wing conspiracy theories on youtube.
I never understood that dentist video. What kinda drugs are American dentists using?! I never get high at the dentist, it just numbs the area. Why would you use a drug that makes you behave weird? That means you need a driver afterwards and can't go to the dentist by yourself.
Novocaine or nitrous gas, you probably never had a procedure which required it. Children are probably more susceptible to strong effects as well.
I better not comment on which one of you is funny.
Sadly last time Russell is on. He kind of gives up the comedy soon after this and becomes messiah/profit thats he kind of been lately.
But dont worry we will see Richard Aoyade nearly every year soon.
Spencer tries to be funny, but to date he has still not managed it!
Its not a serious competition !!! STOP PAUSING TO TAKE PART !!!!! just watch it ....gave up
