The end credits? Yes, here is a bit of trivia if you're watching Brooker's early stuff. At 25:42 that's the same Annabel Jones who produces 'Black Mirror' with him.
Love the way he presents Screenwipe as a horrible place to work, yet I imagine it was a hell of a lot of fun. Just look at how many of the background crew turn up in the show, in odd little roles. Good ol' Brooker.
i've noticed that engaging with the waiter/waitress in a freindly manner is worthwhile, as they are more freindly back to you, what do you expect if you act like a grumpy arse, they aren't gonna smile at you if you scowel at them
25:23 oh my god, I had this song stuck in my head for a few days about a month ago and I couldn't figure out where I had heard it. would've never guessed that it was in a screenwipe episode
Adam and Joe are writers now, their time has passed and now they write like most 90's duos, Lee and Herring, Newman and Baddiel, Punt and Dennis... Adam is a producer and writer for BBC Radio 4's comedy segments and Joe writes movie scripts, he did Attack The Block and Cockneys Vs Zombies.
Rob Fraser Joe didn't write Cockneys Vs Zombies.. but he DID co-write Tintin, Ant Man and the upcoming Snow Crash. If you wanna catch up with Adam, I highly recommend the Adam Buxton Podcast.. Joe has even turned up a couple of times!
Yeah, what a great program. Shitting on people who have a stressful job by saying they're not looking not-stressed enough. Fuck, I hate Britain so much. These are the kind of people that go to Turkey and complain they can't find a bacon sandwich anywhere and wonder why nobody speaks English.
5:58 says everything people in the service industries would love to say to the unending torrent of nit-picky pricks we have to deal with on a daily basis. They're not the majority but fuck me they make up for it in concentrated twattery.
Do you know in Azerbaijan, I saw a mud pot that isn't at all volcano. It's *pyroclastic*. There's a fence around the towering, burning torrent of mud, but it's basically in the middle of town. In Grindavik, Iceland, there's two fu.l on bubbling lava flows. It looks great in the dark,plus Iceland is really cold, so it's not this...giantly ferocious hail of fiery death like some other volcanos, Like Pompeii. That was so fast, there are preserved concrete corpses who were asleep when the catastrophe occurred.
Waiting staff in Europe get paid the same minimum wage as everybody else, not like in the US where they get a pittance from the restaurant and depend on the charity of their customers to survive.
This episode is notable for bursting the creative balloon of televisual ideas, the mild irony being that the Wipe series didn't suffer from many, if any of the cautionary poppings. Still...Bumvision!
what's worst of all is that he doesn't look like a guy who has waited a table in his life. He's just talking down to the plebs and telling them how they should do their job when he has no idea about what her life is like.
The moaning people.. Get them to work in McDonalds. See if they still fucking smile. When I used to work there, I overheard customers complaining about my colleague not grinning like a maniac, and I wanted to say, "oh, I wonder why the fuck that is. Maybe it's because she's working minimum wage on a job which calls up at 5am to bring you to work on your day off, and where rude arseholes can be found in both managers and customers". I didn't say that.
Oh, unlike her I did. Customers were always nice to me because I was good at faking concern. But I don't blame her for being completely polite but clearly not having the time of her life.
05:40 After that guy said that I gave the finger to him on the screen of my laptop and said "Fuck you" simultaneously with Charlie. I'm so happy about it, its pathetic
That's not in my Ruben's tutorial. You know, I saw two separate complete statues of Michaelangelo's David. One in Russia one in Buenos Aires. They're shockingly alike. It's creepy, even.
Some snippy righties here who seem to think Charlie shouldn't have the right to poke fun at That's Life. Comedy is an equalizer, folks; that's why the little guy gets more laughs when he's making fun of the big guy. That's life; deal with it.
Yeah I know. You got to remember that ,at the end of the day, student protesters just really really enjoy protesting. But they're not all arseholes by any account, and the cause is most of the time worthwhile.
I didn't say that minimum wage means you don't have to bother. In fact i did smile and be nice and polite all the time. My point is that it was horrible to coerce people to smile all the time, people are sometimes sad about things. I didn't say it was okay to be impolite, just that it was a bit much to force people to smile all the time. It's amazing how much you twist my words. "If you don't like the job don't do it"??? Some people have to to awful jobs just so that they can eat.
You think that was a bad day, little did you know that waitress was specially trained at the Kirsten Stewart School of Misery Models to save money on smiling muscles and anti wrinkle creams. "Whoooa!I never meant to brag!"
whilst i agree it's part of customer service to be nice and friendly, some measurements are silly. i had a job on minimum wage a few years back, where if they caught you not smiling on cctv you would have to have a warning. three strikes and you're out - in a clothes shop. seems a bit much.
If you have an internet connection or a dictionary, running through all viable answers you'll still make money on that "find the word" bit. If any insomniacs that don't mind a word puzzle want to make some easy money anyway.
But he has steak at home, if I was married to Konnie Huq I would think I was dreaming every day. i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/akamisterc/konnie_huq_medium.jpg The funny thing is that he is a cynical pessimist who satirizes fluffy happy TV shows like Blue Peter and she is the bubbly, warm, larger than life ex-Blue Peter presenter. They likely balance each other out :D
My country is shit, yet here in Canada for the most part we do try and smile and be friendly. I think I've heard Australians are nice too... But maybe a smile genuinely does warm the balls up a bit here, while in Australia they're just too laid back to care?
That was the best credits sequence ever.
fuck yes
The end credits? Yes, here is a bit of trivia if you're watching Brooker's early stuff. At 25:42 that's the same Annabel Jones who produces 'Black Mirror' with him.
That Mint directors commentary section is one of the funniest things I've ever seen
PASO
I've haven't laughed so hard in ages, the end credits were hilarious
Barry Shitpeas... so it begins.
Love the way he presents Screenwipe as a horrible place to work, yet I imagine it was a hell of a lot of fun. Just look at how many of the background crew turn up in the show, in odd little roles. Good ol' Brooker.
It's so refreshing to have somebody write a program that describes exactly how I feel about these twats on TV. Thank you Brooker..!
the absolute twats! TV's unbearable now..."reality TV" was the tipping point
i've noticed that engaging with the waiter/waitress in a freindly manner is worthwhile, as they are more freindly back to you, what do you expect if you act like a grumpy arse, they aren't gonna smile at you if you scowel at them
What a great show... I love it!
The Ken Korda: Director parts absolutely cracked me up.
Keep uploading these, for us international viewers...
"The Mint" bit had me in hysterics.
Barry Shitpeas' first appearance.
It is?
Wasn't he in the pilot for the fart joke segment
If there's one thing I learned form screenwipe, it's that all runners are super hot.
Best end credits ever?
Love how the segment that starts at 8:00 is basically a summary of "Episodes"
25:23 oh my god, I had this song stuck in my head for a few days about a month ago and I couldn't figure out where I had heard it. would've never guessed that it was in a screenwipe episode
"As natural as being curious about dogging"
Why is Adam Buxton not on telly more?
Adam and Joe are writers now, their time has passed and now they write like most 90's duos, Lee and Herring, Newman and Baddiel, Punt and Dennis...
Adam is a producer and writer for BBC Radio 4's comedy segments and Joe writes movie scripts, he did Attack The Block and Cockneys Vs Zombies.
Rob Fraser Joe didn't write Cockneys Vs Zombies.. but he DID co-write Tintin, Ant Man and the upcoming Snow Crash.
If you wanna catch up with Adam, I highly recommend the Adam Buxton Podcast.. Joe has even turned up a couple of times!
He's also on Crystal Maze as a head in a jar
R Spandit Buxton also voices messy in “messy goes to OKIDO” on CBeebies. As far as I can see it’s a shot for shot animation of “the Adam and joe show”
"go to pieces quicker than a leper in a windtunnel" Never laughed so hard.
That credits sequence is the most epic thing I've recently seen =)
im a waiter, and those smiles that dont exist are justified! come work in a place where you get blasted for everything ! this is a short statement !
Yeah, what a great program. Shitting on people who have a stressful job by saying they're not looking not-stressed enough. Fuck, I hate Britain so much. These are the kind of people that go to Turkey and complain they can't find a bacon sandwich anywhere and wonder why nobody speaks English.
what about barry 9:20 I wonder if that kid knows how well he delivered that line

Brooker, you're a genius
I will be calling it Bastard's Hole from now on.
15:00
Holy fuck it's salad fingers 0.0
II like how David Quantik just can't keep a straight face
5:58 says everything people in the service industries would love to say to the unending torrent of nit-picky pricks we have to deal with on a daily basis. They're not the majority but fuck me they make up for it in concentrated twattery.
"Nothing is forever...everything is permitted"
I fucking love this show.
Do you know in Azerbaijan, I saw a mud pot that isn't at all volcano. It's *pyroclastic*. There's a fence around the towering, burning torrent of mud, but it's basically in the middle of town.
In Grindavik, Iceland, there's two fu.l on bubbling lava flows. It looks great in the dark,plus Iceland is really cold, so it's not this...giantly ferocious hail of fiery death like some other volcanos, Like Pompeii. That was so fast, there are preserved concrete corpses who were asleep when the catastrophe occurred.
That should be the standard for all end credit sequences.
David Quantick not holding it at 25:49 is hilarious.
Waiting staff in Europe get paid the same minimum wage as everybody else, not like in the US where they get a pittance from the restaurant and depend on the charity of their customers to survive.
Since Charlie Brooker's a fan of 'Samurai Jack', maybe he could get Genndy Tartakovsky to direct an animated 'Black Mirror' episode.
great stuff.
"but you can tell that he is dying inside..!"
It was the theme to That's Life, the heady mix of hardcore whinging and life-threatning whimsy Charlie was discussing at the beginning.
Yeah that's rock music!! Go on Lisa Scott whatever you rocker you!!
lol buxton's section is amazingly writtine, anyone else completely forget it was even his section, twice?
The David Firth segment caught me off guard
I wish I could like this again
This episode is notable for bursting the creative balloon of televisual ideas, the mild irony being that the Wipe series didn't suffer from many, if any of the cautionary poppings. Still...Bumvision!
the runner is nice
I'd read the credits more often if they always ended like that :)
Samurai Jack is awesome
Best end ever.
His name is David Firth, and yes.
what's worst of all is that he doesn't look like a guy who has waited a table in his life. He's just talking down to the plebs and telling them how they should do their job when he has no idea about what her life is like.
The man at 25:23 is one of my TV and film production tutors.
The moaning people.. Get them to work in McDonalds. See if they still fucking smile. When I used to work there, I overheard customers complaining about my colleague not grinning like a maniac, and I wanted to say, "oh, I wonder why the fuck that is. Maybe it's because she's working minimum wage on a job which calls up at 5am to bring you to work on your day off, and where rude arseholes can be found in both managers and customers". I didn't say that.
It's David Firth, the guy who made Salad Fingers. He does loads of cartoons, they're pretty good.
having read your suggestion i really hope it is
Oh, unlike her I did. Customers were always nice to me because I was good at faking concern. But I don't blame her for being completely polite but clearly not having the time of her life.
The word is Vibe...
05:40 After that guy said that I gave the finger to him on the screen of my laptop and said "Fuck you" simultaneously with Charlie. I'm so happy about it, its pathetic
That's not in my Ruben's tutorial. You know, I saw two separate complete statues of Michaelangelo's David. One in Russia one in Buenos Aires. They're shockingly alike. It's creepy, even.
and Salad Fingers, it's David Firth
so hilarious
I really hope the people whose show he reviews have watched this hahahaha
that animator is the same one who made burnt face man... i knew i recognised that voice
And then... Black Mirror happened and you're the biggest thing in the world briefly. Well done charlie.
its true, booker does look like laurence fishbourne.
In a large proportion of those places, the service charge goes to the restaurant profits and not to the staff, which I find pretty repugnant.
Does anyone know the piece of music used in the ‘TV Development’ segment. Thanks
Look at the audience at 2:02. That, my friends, is entertainment.
@hUssmanneve my thoughts exactly!
YOUR MODERN NONSENSE HAS ANGERED THE DRAGONS!
I go to a restaurant to eat, not get fucking smiled at.
that guy is coming up on a pill in dragons den.
Some snippy righties here who seem to think Charlie shouldn't have the right to poke fun at That's Life. Comedy is an equalizer, folks; that's why the little guy gets more laughs when he's making fun of the big guy. That's life; deal with it.
Anyone know who's singing the song they played at the end? Can't find it anywhere
12.01 - gold
holy shit! I love that song at 1:35, can I buy it?
Yeah I know. You got to remember that ,at the end of the day, student protesters just really really enjoy protesting. But they're not all arseholes by any account, and the cause is most of the time worthwhile.
VOTE
Servers don't eat, they are machines.
25:30 NOOOOOO!!!! He was, is and always will be Barry Shitpeas!

working in kfc for 6 months gave me my borderline unhealthy hatred for humanity.
you know what i'm saying there's no comfort in medicine if what's wrong is a stress problem and you can't fall asleep without getting stolen from
You think that was a bad day, little did you know that waitress was specially trained at the Kirsten Stewart School of Misery Models to save money on smiling muscles and anti wrinkle creams. "Whoooa!I never meant to brag!"
Rome. The answer to the puzzle is Rome.
whilst i agree it's part of customer service to be nice and friendly, some measurements are silly. i had a job on minimum wage a few years back, where if they caught you not smiling on cctv you would have to have a warning. three strikes and you're out - in a clothes shop. seems a bit much.

7:15
It's Rope if you hadn't guessed in the first 5 seconds
Closest I got was rape
+Nayr Nosdivad I thought 'rave'
+Nayr Nosdivad I was thinking pose
+Nayr Nosdivad Rose?
+Nayr Nosdivad or vole
It's David Firth so... probably..
That's relatively normal for David Firth.
Yeah, same creator: David Firth.
Stephen!
Charlie has soo many pretty girls in his office!
Boys ain't bad either.
But he has steak at home, if I was married to Konnie Huq I would think I was dreaming every day.

does anybody know the song they play at the end?
was that Ken Korda or SUUUTIN?
By having a government that actually gives a shit about the workers and ensuring that minimum wage is actually enough to live on.
What's the song at the end?
he's the director as well if you can believe it, in between the shit tv induced nosebleeds
FUCK ME DAVID FIRTH AND CHARLIE BROOKER TOGETHER. MY LIFE NEEDS NOTHING ELSE
My country is shit, yet here in Canada for the most part we do try and smile and be friendly. I think I've heard Australians are nice too... But maybe a smile genuinely does warm the balls up a bit here, while in Australia they're just too laid back to care?
5:07....and how are your kids, Charlie?
David Firth is unbelievably creepy
This finally gives us reason why, there is so much shit on the box! hehe :P
bloody trains
