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.
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.
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
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.
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 TH-cam.. Time has lost all meaning in 2020
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 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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
these gloves were an old marks and sparks gold satin shirt embroidered with matte roses that was three pounds but suffered terminal booby gape: "gee whizz i guess asian women don't got boobies like this?" quelle surprise. anyway i salvaged collars and cuffs and now gloves. nice tough material.

Who could have guessed how much worse it would become.
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.
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!
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.
23:16 a wild Keir Starmer appeared
Thought so. I had to do a retake.
Brooker's rolling news coverage at the beginning was still better than the BBC's Jubilee coverage this year.
Heehee. News of the World. They died a fiery death just a year after this episode.
Doug Stanhope's bits are my favourite.
Brooker leaves me depressed in the most wonderful way...

god bless brooker and Stanhope !
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 TH-cam.. Time has lost all meaning in 2020
I really miss this show!
Love the use of Gary Numan's 'Cars' at 27 mins
Anyone know the name of this piece of music? 3:54
You're a stone cold legend!
Thank you! :D
Brooker superbly and extremely intelligently exposes the games media “news” in particular plays. The fear, misdirection and biased control
The 24 hour news cycle is the bane of our existence...honestly the amount of shit thrown at us is astounding.
Does Brooker have an obsession with War of the Worlds Musical?
Doug is a legend
Doug does care. That's why he drinks.
the nuke at the end, brilliant
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 the war of the worlds in the back ground of the end!
Is that Kier Starmer at 23:23?
Yeah, he worked for the CPS
17:00 Barry shitpeas article. "Three Lions on a shit". blink and you miss it!
I wonder how much of the budget went on that end credit sequence. Really well done that.
Anyone known what movie the music right (when they are doing the Nick Robinson bit) at the end is from?
Yes he did. Defeat your enemies with success
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.
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..
Wow, Brooker said good night, as opposed to GO AWAY!
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.
good to hear some war of the worlds
Lol. :D "Bloody progress is to blame"
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 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
Boobamajugs. I'm stealing that.
My town of birth, the poverty vortex of Workington made an appearance on Newswipe lol
23:23 - Sir Keir Starmer, ladies and gents.
"Sick Notes" was always my first port of call.
What's that music at 27:08 please
supastar Gary Newman - Cars
Shutter Speed thanks!
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.
Holy shit I knew I had read them!!!!
I'd like to see him to a Show that rips apart modern gaming.
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
23:19 Starmer jumpscare
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 can't remember the media shitstorm about John Terry (I was out the country) but did anyone actually interview Terry?
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
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!
keith mansfield - morning broadway
Woo Yakima. Represent.
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 didn't graduate from university because he wrote a paper on gaming -- which didn't count.
11:28 Is that jclayton?
Tower bridge is blowing up, blowing up, blowing up.
I do too! What's not to love?
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.
Its series not seasons with British shows, not to sound ungrateful and thanks for posting.
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
I wanner know if that's his real flat
I wonder what kind of chocolate bar Charlie bought.
Oh god that ending
Tim Key attempts to ruin Newswipe again. And fails.
i just have to look at other wools for awhile. this wasn't a wool-lationship we were having here
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.
Yeah - I heard about that.
Damn philistines. He showed them though. :P
yeah i know that yeah? i know that right up until i'm banging off the alarm clock snarling like the mgm lion
He has a whole show about games.
doug stanhope is a ledgend...
5:30 . . . rough night Charlie ?
Ha... Myspace, actually what's a Myspace?
He wrote often delightfully cynical reviews for PC Zone in the 90s ^ ^
We need more appreciation for Tim Key's poem and the hilarious line about the Milibands and their yoghurt pots
STAR WARS!
the key is to start small. a hat first or a scarf. or gloveses.
Oh fuck off.
lol, Cameron makes Obama look positively trustworthy by comparison.
I don’t believe he’s American or an alcoholic - he’s certainly not a comedian.
maximum five marches. i lost 30 million soldiers in that game already i'm not training any more. nopety no.
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.
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.
I'm starting to really like Doug Stanhope.
29:16 Toasty.
how about "golden age" by Chinese Man ? hi Mr Brooker i'm Alive and not kidnapped just so you know. promisey promise. best wishes xxxx
are you okay? do you need help?
My new favorite British euphemism-"blubbing" for crying.
have u not seen Gameswipe lol its awesome.
cool hand luke. the sweatiest movie of all time. lots of sweating men.
You will change your mind. One day.
He did an hour-long special: Gameswipe, /watch?v=sIb8JdoWF00 Enjoy!
Tim key was wonderful this week.
ah news of the world its funny how dated references to them seem now
Bet'cha he's shit hot at metal gear solid!
bla bla bla
*sigh* it's just absolutely not worth racking more than 2 million of anything my level 21 stronghold can't protect it.
yes
Doug stanhope ruined news nigh,
I like Tim Key.
these gloves were an old marks and sparks gold satin shirt embroidered with matte roses that was three pounds but suffered terminal booby gape: "gee whizz i guess asian women don't got boobies like this?" quelle surprise. anyway i salvaged collars and cuffs and now gloves. nice tough material.
