Having been overly involved in mundane human activities I had disposed of my TV some 20 years ago, and was about to dive back in unaware of the significant risks involved. Not only was I drunk on my sense of righteousness from not watching TV, but I had not even attempted to plan what I watched, beyond the intention to use unconstrained sarcasm to induce a feeling of superiority. Thank you Charlie Brooker .. you quite literally saved my life ...
Jiggly Puff Actually, Thomas Taylor is correct, whilst Charlie Brooker demonstrates aspect ratio changes, for some reason the uploader has added auto adjustments, so when the frame changes, the edit automatically 'corrects' it, that kind of ruins the whole point.
+Mystery Ezekude In no way does this come across as a specific source of inspiration for Black Mirror. Brooker is fascinated by many things, this being one of them.
Mr Brooker: as a red haired man I am disappointed in the decision to employ the phrase " Unloved ginger haired runt"- Please replace 'unloved' and 'runt' with the words "grossly unappreciated" and "uber-mensch", respectively. It renders your simile meaningless, but more importantly is less offensive to me.
***** I take it you read things and add your own opinions as to what people are talking about rather then reading it from a intellectual stand point and consider what people are actually talking about, because I think you've missed the point of what I was saying which was also on the lines of satire.
well, some of the animations here feature in the tv wipe intro, and brooker appears in one of the on-camera segments, so, no edit: nevermind! my memory was playing tricks on me. they're not the same. however, this was the genuine footage. including the constant zooming in and out. it was all deliberate for the weird low/high budget effect they had going on i guess.
No worries man, Besides i totally agree with you if i were to put Ads and make profit from a CHARLIE BROOKER video id be a not only a complete wanker but a hypocritical one as well, TH-cam is getting quite scary recently, not only are they putting ads on videos whether the creators like it or not I heard on the news not long back that there going to introduce a PAID SUBSCRPTION to their most popular channels.
There's no test. I feel like there should be a test. I wouldn't want to go and try and watch TV without being sure I had properly absorbed the presented information.
I used to know someone like Piers, with his miniature TV set in the corner almost obscured by his Noam Chomsky book collection. As you can imagine, the man was a pretentious tool.
This is definately not the Charlie Brooker I'm used to, a tad dull. He almost sounds like a demo of a TV from a salesperson of which, the compamy's going into administration.

2003: Fight the urge to change channels
2013: Fight the urge to change tabs
This is like a chapter from The Hitchhiker's Guide, if Ford had employed some humans to write sections while he was stuck on Earth. Marvellous.
That last part was genius,you got me ;)

Brooker's Great for a headachy week. He manages to make 'brain' sound like an insult
What if Charlie Brooker reviewed his own show?
"Calls charged at 50 pints of dignity per nanosecond"? Yikes...Why didn't I notice this years ago?
I never giggled at an egg so much before in my life.
But no one watches tv anymore. They're all too busy watching youtube.
+Roy Saxon Same rules apply.
Roy Saxon I dont watch youtube, only tv
Watching TV on youtube.
People are the worst.
charie broker is very funny !
Screenwipe / Newswipe lifts me from the doldrums & bumps me back down to reality every few seconds
there's something rather eerie and melancholic about this. i guess that's why Black Mirror came to be.
Ironic, as this video is recorded/uploaded in such a poor way, the beginning of the episode talks about screen size and aspect ratio.
*Doesn't get obvious satire*
Jiggly Puff Actually, Thomas Taylor is correct, whilst Charlie Brooker demonstrates aspect ratio changes, for some reason the uploader has added auto adjustments, so when the frame changes, the edit automatically 'corrects' it, that kind of ruins the whole point.
Matthew Tyrer I'm sure if Charlie saw the result he would regret not adding the "auto-resize" deliberately, though.
RFC3514 It's bloody awful, makes the screen wobble like jelly!
Matthew Tyrer Exactly!
Great stuff. Thanks for posting.
This show is almost 15 years old. Jesus fuck.
the ending i like.
gave me many ideas.
Why do I feel like this could be the catalyst for Black Mirror?
because you are dense maybe?
Alkapow Portstar Must be my mistake then.
+Mystery Ezekude In no way does this come across as a specific source of inspiration for Black Mirror. Brooker is fascinated by many things, this being one of them.
SlowJoman I see. :)
Thanks from Canada for uploading these, eh...! ;)
Yup. It jumps between 16:9 and 4:3, making a joke about this somehow being the solution rather than stretching or squeezing. Or something like that.
Very interesting.. I do like Charlie
I loved the egg.
Classic stuff. Also the first time I'd noticed that what was labelled 'capacitor' was actually the line output transformer.
Fucking hell! He predicted that x box thing 4 years ago !
From which film is the picture he uses when he talks about "aspect ratio"? I've seen that movie years ago and forgot the name.
Top bird at the end
11.45 Is that Milton Jones? xD
woop!...space mice :)
Yup
"When top gear met see hear" lol
Edit-I used to date Dennis nilsons niece 😂
Teethgrinder 83 What was he actually like in real life if you don't mind me asking that is
I feel like Charlie is the Human embodiment of Radiohead.
Didn't this come out 10 years ago?
Have a feeling that's just the editing making a joke about what he was saying about aspect ratio

+ThePhunboy The world doesn't exist to alter itself to ease you when you get personally offended by something.
Are you a doctor of stating the obvious?
+Dr Matt Phillips It's super obviously a joke and you're being a dumbass while simultaneously acting like you're smarter than the other guy. Nice one!

it is a computer nightmare
Is that a young Barry Shitpeas?
There is?!
But i haven't approved any!

The voice is Charlie but is the video made/edited by a fan?
well, some of the animations here feature in the tv wipe intro, and brooker appears in one of the on-camera segments, so, no
edit: nevermind! my memory was playing tricks on me. they're not the same. however, this was the genuine footage. including the constant zooming in and out. it was all deliberate for the weird low/high budget effect they had going on i guess.
Yes, i was trying to work out if there was a reason for spelling irrelevant wrongly.
the chick from nathan barley
Oh look, it's her off of from out of Nathan Barley in a sideways lift.
No worries man, Besides i totally agree with you if i were to put Ads and make profit from a CHARLIE BROOKER video id be a not only a complete wanker but a hypocritical one as well, TH-cam is getting quite scary recently, not only are they putting ads on videos whether the creators like it or not I heard on the news not long back that there going to introduce a PAID SUBSCRPTION to their most popular channels.
did u do some kind of awful youtube post-editing effect? it keeps jumping in and jumping back out and it's ridiculously annoying.
i heard that to dude youtubes gone corporate as shit over the last year or 2
Is that true about the killer guy? watching TV with the dead bodies of victims?
Nope that's the original file, couldn't find better quality than that unfortunately.
12:00
23:47 no I'm not
16:40 So, is nicole kidman a lesbian?
Damn I fucked up the simulator, anyone manage to keep their eyes closed?
I really doubt it.
What's the big deal? I mutter sarcastic remarks about people on tv, and I'M not even a murderer.
I don't make sarcy comments at TV because I think I'm better than everyone else. I KNOW I'm better than everyone else.
There's no test. I feel like there should be a test. I wouldn't want to go and try and watch TV without being sure I had properly absorbed the presented information.
Is the constant hiss a deliberate attempt to evoke informative 1970s/80s programmes like Tomorrow's World, or is it just a really crappy recording?

Adblock. That is all.
Like if you're reading the comments until the egg goes away...
I love how cynical this is lol
Reading Noam Chomsky makes one pretentious? Being educated is pretentious?
