I love the opening part which completely takes the piss out of the 24-news obsession with recording doorways and empty podiums in preparation for something completely tedious in a few hours time.
Doug Stanhope is great if you really want to see him act watch Louis C.K's show Louie he's in what I found to be a particularly powerful episode I won't tell you what episode it is because 1. I can't remeber and 2. It's worth watching all the episodes anyway
All these years on and still relevant - perhaps more so. I'd love to see this format and Brooker's analysis applied now, at a time during which "legacy media" is being challenged by new, digital media and how there have been weird battles resulting from this, such as the whole qAnon saga turning many people in the USA and beyond insane, fuelled by social media and also by elements of the right wing "legacy media" (Fox, like the animal, for example). Meanwhile, the legacy media still relies on these tedious methods: the Queen died and so the news decided to film people queuing all day to try and lay flowers, even though this was a completely contrived PR stunt (for example, they could have pre-sold "mourning slots" for manageble groups of people at different times in the day so that it'd be nice and orderly and no one would have to wait around in a queue - or line as they say in the USA) to suggest a spontaneous outburst of grief akin to the scenes at Pyongyang when Kim Jong-Il died, which was the subject of much ridicule in western media. This was the same and was manufactured in the same kind of way: if they had done things orderly and respectfully for people who genuinely wanted to mourn because they buy into the absurd and antiquated notion of a monarchy for some reason, they wouldn't have been able to produce the spectacle. People made friends (it was kind of inevitable that they would end up talking, given that they were standing around for hours on end) but also, entitled celebrities skipped the queue! Outrage! Fodder for right wing pundits and more BS for the legacy media. Anyway, watching these old episodes shows us that, whilst things have seemed insane in the last few years, it isn't as if we were particularly sane beforehand, if judging by mass media/mass culture.
Because this all happened in the past I can't tell if I've already watched it or not.. currently 2 days in to my "Brooker Binge" on UA-cam.. Time has lost all meaning in 2020
He gets the John Terry thing spot on. The 'media pressure' and 'growing calls for him to resign' were fabricated and just repeated and repeated until they became news. And the media do that so often. Look at the Hodgson thing recently - I've not actually heard anyone complaining about his joke (pretty much everyone is excusing it as a mistake) but the media are repeatedly making a point of how everyone was offended by what he said. And eeeeeeeeveryone falls for it.
it was just the only chinese satin in the shop lol you have to understand that this is a system where people throw out their old clothes for whatever reason, the volunteers steam it and sort the best ones out and then i dive into the shop looking to surprise myself with something i wouldn't have ever thought of lol.
Unassuming Potato Brooker actually approached Yahtzee about making a little segment for GamesWipe, but Yahtzee's contract with the Escapist prevented that from happening, unfortunately.
Did anyone else get pissed off at the way the media treated Terry? You can think what you want of him, but no one should have their private life picked over like that. That journalist snake saying it was in the public interest to know. It's absolutely fuckin not. Shit really gets under my skin
I really don't understand why people are so obsessed with other people's private lives. It's none of your bloody business! People actually standing up and saying we have the RIGHT to know about who John Terry is f*****g. It's ridiculous, haven't people got anything better to do with their time? One of the least important stories ever, but it got by far the most coverage. Absolutely insane where people's priorities lie.
it's a trick of the weave like a basic jacquard: the rose shape is created by deliberately avoiding patches of the base network when overlaying with the second glossier thread. in the same colour. unlike jacquard which is quite often contrasting colours. ehrgad takes so long by hand.
this was a subject that came up in assertiveness class about "allowing" lies. making room for inaccurate data. you don't have to! wrong input creates wrong output
This might be the first time I've scrolled down on a video featuring Tim Key and not seen a comment bitching about Tim Key. So here I am, bitching about Tim Key: Urrgh why do they always invite him on he's a bad poet and not even funny and fat and it doesn't even rhyme and I hate his face. ... Actually I quite like Tim Key.
The end with the trumpet? That's "Fanfare for the Common Man", by Aaron Copeland. The beginning is Cars by Gary Numan. I don't know the bit in the middle though.
I recently got a "stolen" treasure chest in Game of War:fire age full of several billion wood resources. of course i don't know what type of wood specifically but here i am,positively achingly ripe and fruitful of stolen property i really don't have a use for in my stronghold. even if i maxed out all the college tuition options (you need HOW many silver for Core Crafting 4.8?) i don't think i need that much wood. i already donated about 9 million to the alliance city. i might just sit here button pushing donations to the alliance all night.
it's like other wools except it changes colour every so often which is great for my attention span "ami this wool could be pure gold but you'd still be passive aggressively hating it by the end of the second sleeve" well yeah i just the gold on and that's true
Most people his age are really. Some people grew out of it, and others just don't want to be more open about their gamer habits because it's still seen as childish and irresponsible and other such things.
nah if you want the good stuff volunteering is the best position first you have to seperate all the designer stuff you're gonna knock the price up on after an ebay search then the sorters get the first pick. it doesn't ever get to the shop floor it's got "me bagsy yh?" written on the tag.
haha i got promoted for donating. i think. i can boot anyone under my rank... i could bully people i suppose i guess maybe hmmm. what if i don't want to? what if it felt like such a positive affirmation to goody two shoes that i really, i really just wanted to exponentialise my successful rewardment arc? gosh, that felt really good.
chunkycake101 you know,someone i know well and respect urged me to join a writer's class, rather than swim in the void of quantum entaglements but i can't because of people like you. i'm just gonna let it go.
Who could have guessed how much worse it would become.
I love the opening part which completely takes the piss out of the 24-news obsession with recording doorways and empty podiums in preparation for something completely tedious in a few hours time.
you're wrong, and you're a grotesquely ugly freak
@@sidarthur8706 I see what you did there!
The episode encapsulates perfectly the bizarre nature of 24 hour news these days.
That's a beatiful take on the "waiting for something to happen"-style journalism there.
Doug Stanhope is an epic comic.
I agree and it doesn't matter that he thinks my opinion doesn't matter. His doesn't either.
Brooker leaves me depressed in the most wonderful way...
23:16 a wild Keir Starmer appeared
Thought so. I had to do a retake.
Heehee. News of the World. They died a fiery death just a year after this episode.
Brooker's rolling news coverage at the beginning was still better than the BBC's Jubilee coverage this year.
god bless brooker and Stanhope !
Doug Stanhope's bits are my favourite.

Anyone know the name of this piece of music? 3:54
You're a stone cold legend!
Thank you! :D
Does Brooker have an obsession with War of the Worlds Musical?
Because this all happened in the past I can't tell if I've already watched it or not.. currently 2 days in to my "Brooker Binge" on UA-cam.. Time has lost all meaning in 2020

The 24 hour news cycle is the bane of our existence...honestly the amount of shit thrown at us is astounding.
I don’t believe he’s American or an alcoholic - he’s certainly not a comedian.
I really miss this show!
Doug is a legend
Brooker superbly and extremely intelligently exposes the games media “news” in particular plays. The fear, misdirection and biased control
the nuke at the end, brilliant
Love the use of Gary Numan's 'Cars' at 27 mins
Doug does care. That's why he drinks.
i didnt expect that to happen.. and i rarely sit through the subtitles.. but this time i was rewarded ! :-D
***** ye... credits.. sorry.. sometimes i drink wine while watching things like this..
I wonder how much of the budget went on that end credit sequence. Really well done that.
17:00 Barry shitpeas article. "Three Lions on a shit". blink and you miss it!
i love the war of the worlds in the back ground of the end!
My town of birth, the poverty vortex of Workington made an appearance on Newswipe lol
Wow, Brooker said good night, as opposed to GO AWAY!
Yes he did. Defeat your enemies with success
whats also dated is people using max clifford as the man who could save your reputation.....
i dont think anyone would ask for his services in future
Not without an Ouija board.
i love Doug Stanhope, so true and funny
somehow i see him doing sketch where he does an al franken running for office and gets elected only to smack congressmen in the face lol
Anyone known what movie the music right (when they are doing the Nick Robinson bit) at the end is from?
good to hear some war of the worlds
23:23 - Sir Keir Starmer, ladies and gents.
it was just the only chinese satin in the shop lol you have to understand that this is a system where people throw out their old clothes for whatever reason, the volunteers steam it and sort the best ones out and then i dive into the shop looking to surprise myself with something i wouldn't have ever thought of lol.
Boobamajugs. I'm stealing that.
"Sick Notes" was always my first port of call.
Charlie brooker should invite Ben Croshaw on the show...
YAHTZEEEEE
Unassuming Potato Brooker actually approached Yahtzee about making a little segment for GamesWipe, but Yahtzee's contract with the Escapist prevented that from happening, unfortunately.
That would be an orgasmic collaboration.
Never knew that. Thanks
The Escapist really was the worst thing to happen to Yahtz. Can only imagine how high he'd soar without their dead weight bringing him down
Did anyone else get pissed off at the way the media treated Terry?
You can think what you want of him, but no one should have their private life picked over like that.
That journalist snake saying it was in the public interest to know. It's absolutely fuckin not.
Shit really gets under my skin

One of the least important stories ever, but it got by far the most coverage. Absolutely insane where people's priorities lie.
Holy shit I knew I had read them!!!!
I'd like to see him to a Show that rips apart modern gaming.
He didn't graduate from university because he wrote a paper on gaming -- which didn't count.
Tower bridge is blowing up, blowing up, blowing up.
Is that Kier Starmer at 23:23?
Yeah, he worked for the CPS
Lol. :D "Bloody progress is to blame"
When is this show back on telly?
Its weekly wipe now and is usually on BBC 2 at the start of the year after the yearly wipe.
Quinn Hoban Ah right cheers, hardly watch telly these days and the iplayer is a bit hit and miss. Remind me in a few months :P
I wonder what kind of chocolate bar Charlie bought.

Anyone know what the music is behind the sky news segment?
Timestamp for this and the previous request?
James Camien McGuiggan Ah yes, that was vague of me… the jazzy flutey thing that starts at 3:55 on this one. Sounds Roland Kirk-ish.
Right, thanks. Unfortunately, though, I have no idea what it is!
James Camien McGuiggan Alas!

Shutter Speed thanks!
Its series not seasons with British shows, not to sound ungrateful and thanks for posting.
Yeah - I heard about that.
Damn philistines. He showed them though. :P
Woo Yakima. Represent.
Ha... Myspace, actually what's a Myspace?
lol, Cameron makes Obama look positively trustworthy by comparison.
Tim Key attempts to ruin Newswipe again. And fails.
it's like other wools except it changes colour every so often which is great for my attention span "ami this wool could be pure gold but you'd still be passive aggressively hating it by the end of the second sleeve" well yeah i just the gold on and that's true
Oh god that ending
Most people his age are really. Some people grew out of it, and others just don't want to be more open about their gamer habits because it's still seen as childish and irresponsible and other such things.
I wanner know if that's his real flat
nah if you want the good stuff volunteering is the best position first you have to seperate all the designer stuff you're gonna knock the price up on after an ebay search then the sorters get the first pick. it doesn't ever get to the shop floor it's got "me bagsy yh?" written on the tag.
He has a whole show about games.
I can't remember the media shitstorm about John Terry (I was out the country) but did anyone actually interview Terry?
doug stanhope is a ledgend...
He wrote often delightfully cynical reviews for PC Zone in the 90s ^ ^
I do too! What's not to love?
yeah i know that yeah? i know that right up until i'm banging off the alarm clock snarling like the mgm lion
I'm starting to really like Doug Stanhope.
the key is to start small. a hat first or a scarf. or gloveses.
Oh fuck off.
5:30 . . . rough night Charlie ?
haha i got promoted for donating. i think. i can boot anyone under my rank... i could bully people i suppose i guess maybe hmmm.
what if i don't want to? what if it felt like such a positive affirmation to goody two shoes that i really, i really just wanted to exponentialise my successful rewardment arc? gosh, that felt really good.
11:28 Is that jclayton?

My new favorite British euphemism-"blubbing" for crying.
We need more appreciation for Tim Key's poem and the hilarious line about the Milibands and their yoghurt pots
29:16 Toasty.
ah news of the world its funny how dated references to them seem now
Bet'cha he's shit hot at metal gear solid!
He did an hour-long special: Gameswipe, /watch?v=sIb8JdoWF00 Enjoy!
Doug stanhope ruined news nigh,

Its shit when the American comedian talks for 5 mins skip skip skip
I like Tim Key.
