Damn that was sooo refreshing!! How I missed seeing this fella on TV puzzles me, but then I don't watch TV or follow news reports online either, for the very reasons he highlighted! Well done Mr Brooker, you'd get my vote for Managing director of the BBC.
I'd rather have Charlie Brooker deliver the news, I know he's done comment pieces for The Guardian but as a source of news he's the one guy I've seen who literally shifts the bullshit out of the way to get to the actual story.
I know...the news today is packaged to make up your mind before you get the facts and assess the whole topic/news story etc. Each story is presented from a position that's designed to have you lean one way or the other. Usually it's done with finesse and you wont even notice it...unless you watch the news from the right perspective, as presented by Brooker here. Newswipe is essential viewing IMO.
The Creidt Crunch; Austerity; Cost of Living Crisis; the Money Tree; and other minor panics like "How do I keep my baby warm in a financial crisis", just some of the headlines to grab the nation every single day since this was filmed. God the news is so gripping, relevant and definitely not a circus show to distract you all. Just go to work and be miserable will you. All of you. Yes, even you!
The thing with the Natwest three was that although the media did way overblow the sympathy card, they clearly should not have been extradited. I think it was right to highlight that, we shouldn't be sending British citizens to the mercy of the American justice system. It annoyed me because it was another case of the government kissing America's arse, not because I believed all the emotional hype.
what's funny about their "recession re-branding" is that it would actually freaking combat the recession directly by encouraging people to spend money, just less money. the important thing is to get money moving all over the place and not locked up in piggy banks
Honestly, I make one spelling error on the internet and completely forget about it. I come back a month later and both of the top comments are taking the piss out of me! I suppose that'll teach me not to make spelling mistakes. Ever again. Four the rest of my life.
A bit late, but it's The Rocket Builder (Io Pan!) by Johann Johannsson. If you're a Spotify user there's an entire playlist of all the music Brooker used for all his programmes here: open.spotify.com/user/charliebrooker/playlist/1cbjbEfXuZesvIYHnN9ilP
I think the media was actually like that at one point. Rather than debate agrue and find fault, they just sat down, said, "This is what's happening, goodnight". But stuff like that doesn't sell papers or put bums on seats. And, since people love drama, the news moved to drama. You know what, you and me should just do are own news show. We'd have no bais or favoritism. Just go on the air and say, "Here's some good news, here's some bad. Now, make up your own mind. Goodnight".
Qaunittiitititiitiive easing reduces the buying power of your currency. Flooding the economy with artificial liquidity means that - where a pound might have bought you a loaf of bread, some eggs and a coffee 20 years ago - now it can only barely get you a loaf of bread. The value of these things hasn't changed, they are static... it's the value of your currency that has been reduced because of quannititititiitititiiive easing.
I love this show. I wish it were more popular, for people to want the real, untwisted, un-"it's the right's fault, no it's the left's fault", non-political agenda, core that should be news. Instead we have to choose whether we want to watch a channel that twists everything against the right wing, or the channel that twists everything against the left. It's only becoming worse rather than more factual, more honest. I wish they'd make more shows like this that get to the core of how twisted it is.
I don't have a clue what going on with the Israel and Palestine. It doesn't effect me, my family or anyone I know. Yet, people just keep bringing it up. I don't know about it but should I care?
"Should" no, but it shows you something about how human nature, the state, war etc works. Also history repeats itself with different people if we don't learn from it and improve. There are things we all can do to stop that happening, we are all nodes in a network and we all have an interconnected effect on the world to one degree or another.
The condom thing is kind of true though. They don't use them properly and think that they are immortal because they kept it on for a token amount of time.
If it were not for Doug Stanhope on this series I never would have heard of Charlie. And I have to be honest, I came here looking for Doug . . . but let's see what other potential greats might be here. But I don't have much hope for brilliance if this is made up of all British blobbers.
@@danieldeanhodge seems he came through with his potential with Black Mirror. Although i think this show was as great and wasnt showing just potential but something smart and funny.
what episode or program shows Chuck Brooker ere pretending not to know or be influenced by VLS... who's Victor Lewis Smith? *shrug*...i dunno... advertising episode was it? anyway... oh I'm gonna watch them all.... i should be working but fuck it.
Is it OK for members of the cast or guests to say FUCK but not for the host? I don't quite get the BBC censorship policy on matters of what they call "bad language"... But is there really something to understand there?
What music does the casual satanist listen to do you reckon? Do you think they casual death metal (I used to say 'cajj' right, as too lazy even to finish the word. Joke. But if you write 'cash' you have to formalise since bank notes are always rectangles) it's a sound that has no consonant!? "Casch" ? "Cazj" "Casualistan" noes. What about psycho-ambient? Like the sound of the dripping infinity pool filtered by high pressured slightly freon scented metal walls?
Wouldn't it suck if they were a bunch of tasteless moneymonkeys like "take on me" was this super harsh satanic coup-de-gras and we're at risk from grump cartoons everywhere
Like Boris Johnson with his raspberry cheesecake jailbird brigade "they'll have no idea she's the beast of biblical end times if we photo shop out the horns"
Matthew McVeagh If I wanted clunky poetry I'd take down from my shelf My thesaurus and my dictionary And write the stuff myself It would be rubbish and I know it But it couldn't be much worse Than this rambling TV poet And his dog eared doggerel verse
A genuinely amazing show.
I can remember exactly when I first discovered Charlie Brooker.
Me too :) As odd as this sounds, watching Screenwipe and Newswipe is part of the reason I ended up moving to the UK (and I love it here)
Where'd you move from?
I started reading his screenburn column when I was 11! Full-fledged Brooker hipster here
@@joepeake8972 Does he still write for papers?
@@Jackoffs Not much any more, bar the occasional thing. Probably too busy with the tv stuff and family commitments now.
Wow, that was the quickest, accurate, summary of that crisis I have ever heard.
Damn that was sooo refreshing!! How I missed seeing this fella on TV puzzles me, but then I don't watch TV or follow news reports online either, for the very reasons he highlighted! Well done Mr Brooker, you'd get my vote for Managing director of the BBC.
Charlie's show was just perfect, needs to be weekly
The last part really stuck in my brain from the first time I watched it. Never realized until now that it was only on the first episode.
Awesome Charlie Brooker, glad my Media Relations unit suggested to watch this.
In fact lots of economists knew the crash was coming and were vocal about warning people. They were just ignored, in particular by the government.
I mean that won't happen again
2:22 The music in the background is Classical Gas, the news theme used in several US TV stations like WVTM or WIS
I used to hate the Tim Key bits, skipped over them, am joyfully rediscovering them now about 10 years later appreciating that the man is a genius.
I thought he looked familiar.
" i am a mug for buying a house in 2007"
13 years later you would be minted if you managed to keep that house you bought in 2007.
I don't think some people know that tim key's poems are supposed to be bad...
I get it. I just don't find him funny and the punchline is always predictable with each of his poem sketches on newswipe.
Being deliberately bad is treading a very fine line between kitsch and truly fucking awful.
Barry Shitpeas has the knack, Tim Key doesn't.
Tim's poems are amazing
they're not bad, they're a vanguard
Very interesting segment on those 3 bankers.
Brother this channel is criminally undersubed
13:59 my reaction after 5 seconds into checking the news.

Brilliant satire. Charlie does good work.
6:11 Genuinely thought that WAS Louis Walsh.
Me too😂😂😂

This show is, was and will be everything I am and am not. And vice versa.
We can all symphonise with him
We need a Covid-19wipe
We've got one! Charlie Brooker's Antiviral Wipe
The thing with the Natwest three was that although the media did way overblow the sympathy card, they clearly should not have been extradited. I think it was right to highlight that, we shouldn't be sending British citizens to the mercy of the American justice system. It annoyed me because it was another case of the government kissing America's arse, not because I believed all the emotional hype.
I love Charlie Brooke he is fucking hilarious
2020 and still watching 👀
What's the track around 10:37?
"Fuck me!" - the only thing you can say when someone says condoms make the aids epidemic worse.
Song at 19:00? Tim keys part?
This would be amazing during the COVID 19 BS.
There is one now! Check iPlayer if you haven't already
what's funny about their "recession re-branding" is that it would actually freaking combat the recession directly by encouraging people to spend money, just less money. the important thing is to get money moving all over the place and not locked up in piggy banks
I remember people knowing what quantitative easing was, but not knowing how to say or spell it.
Honestly, I make one spelling error on the internet and completely forget about it. I come back a month later and both of the top comments are taking the piss out of me! I suppose that'll teach me not to make spelling mistakes. Ever again. Four the rest of my life.
AWESOME SHOW
Also, why doesn't Danielle Ward open her mouth properly when she talks?
+bonsaitigerMTB That's what they like to do those fucking young people
How did I just find out about people like Brooker and Curtis?
Oh right, I live in America
@Venawesomeo did you ever find out the track?
A bit late, but it's The Rocket Builder (Io Pan!) by Johann Johannsson. If you're a Spotify user there's an entire playlist of all the music Brooker used for all his programmes here: open.spotify.com/user/charliebrooker/playlist/1cbjbEfXuZesvIYHnN9ilP
Probably the best fuking way to end 'newz'.or news.
Where can I find all episodes in HD, for free
Too bad there is, apparently, no similar market for such a news magazine in the states.
I think it's Beethoven's 7th Sympathy. Look it up, I that's it.
If it's not though, I'm going to look like a massive idiot.

this show is so incisive. very clever stuff.
He tries to type a little but then bursts into tears :D
Well played sir! +1
2008 economy, meet 2022 economic state. Which is worse?
dat classical gas
Anyone else think the news is looking more and more like The Day Today?
Oh, right, I feel like an idiot now. Sorry.
sorry, couldn't resist :)
Who actual fault is it? People say it's labour faults, some say it's the americans fault. Whose fault is it?
He was pointing out a mistake you made, but don't worry, I symphony with you.

"designed to get the banks and arse"
That should've taught you a lesson indeed! Intarwebs is serious business.

2:02 That's exactly how I feel
Is that Iain fucking Dale at 10:45?
The condom thing is kind of true though. They don't use them properly and think that they are immortal because they kept it on for a token amount of time.
i swear the channel watermark is getting increasingly central these days.
MMMMM-MMMMMMMMM, just looooove thous infidel biscuit

Conhan D. Yeah, I never got that. They do it in other programs to! 😳
Don't think it's because he's being censored, he's doing it for comic effect.

ahaha that's how youtube works. it should really be called 'thunderdome', shouldn't it? :)
1:39 discombobulate
Why I oughta...!
Charlie is loveably cynical.
I think you should, in case one of your friends or someone you meet is from Israel or Palestine.
Just saying.
Don't pity me!
After 7 years, I still don't
Tim Key the poet, give it up man
Your meter's all wrong and the words don't scan
Tim Key is outrageously unfunny isn`t he? Why on earth did they keep him for so long?
Walked away to take a piss while he was reading out his poem, came back and he was STILL READING THE FUCKING THING
Ann Nee You answered your own question right there - Because he's outrageously unfunny. Which, in turn, makes the whole thing kind of funny.
Tim Key's poetry is deliberately gormless and clunky. That so many people don't get this just adds to the humour.
Matthew McVeagh If I wanted clunky poetry
I'd take down from my shelf
My thesaurus and my dictionary
And write the stuff myself
It would be rubbish and I know it
But it couldn't be much worse
Than this rambling TV poet
And his dog eared doggerel verse
Charlie . Please never become john oliver
