Charlie Brookers Screenwipe

[Ethros]

Ep 2 was on last night. Return of the "Biggest Cocks and She-cocks in advertising"
I was laughing my head off at the shower advert featuring a ladies nipple and the guy watching started wanking but it soon turned over to the Micheal Winner ad


And good on him for slating that shite Cadbury's ad that only "toe brained cretins" as he put it think is funny.

 

[wamdue]

I never got that ad either.

That's unfair to my 2 year old cousin... She loves the "gunkey" ad, she's not a toe brained cretin, she just doesn't know any better.

Even if you don't particularly agree with him on certain points you can't help but think he's right about whatever he rants about.
Loved the look on his face when the Ribena ad came on

What's to get, it's supposed to be attention grabbing, and gives you a brand to associate it with.

 

[Ethros]

It's just the sort of stuff the Nathan Barley's of the world adore

 

[Ethros]

btw, does anyone else think there's something going on between Brooker and ex-Big Brother 7 contestant Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace?
Seems to be in a lot of his stuff

He has to strap a picture of Richard Madely to his face whenever they kiss.

 

[The Squire of Gothos]

Missed the first episode, but it was great to go straight into a show with "screencocks of advertising"

The humour and vitriol is missing this, but interesting and somewhat atypical, with candid interviews with the BBC's most prominant writers (including the divisive Russell T. Davies).

 

[Haggis and tatties]

The third episode was interesting but i think 50 min's of talking to writers was a bit long.

yes I thought it was ok, but maybe went to long

Wasn't just BBC, Graham Linehan (Father Ted, The IT Crowd) and Sam Bain & Jess Armstrong (Peep Show) are on Channel 4

Didn't really seem a like an ep of Screenwipe. Good if you want to learn how to be a writer, but if not, not so much

 

[The Squire of Gothos]

Twas a bit gushy, but I didn't really think it dragged. I was surprised when I paused the ondemand and saw we were at 43 out of 50 minutes.

And this week, we are treated to the sight of a group of men pissing on a hill in front of Konnie Huq as a rousing anthem by Elbow plays in the backround so that Brooker can have a go at the "mission" shows that are all over the place right now.

Awesome. Just awesome.

"Come on! LET'S PISS!" - Konnie Huq.

As far as I'm concerned, Konnie Huq has now wiped out her karmic debt from her Olympic torch hokey-cokey. For a bit, I wondered if it was all a CB spoof, or if it was all clips from some new telly low...

 

[wamdue]

you know im no expert on whatever problems those men had, but wouldnt having a woman there make it worse?

I'm glad she appeared on this - she's obviously got a great sense of the absurd!

In real-life, maybe.

In Brooker's fake "mission", having the men getting over their urination-based hang-ups to the extent that they could be EMPOWERED! enough to have an outdoors gang-piss in front of a woman was a fine parody of the sort of EMPOWERING! events that the real "mission" shows have.

 

[Ethros]

Great episode, back on form.

"I'm Konnie Huq, I'm 33 but I look about 9"

 

[Ethros]

Just watching it again, so good
"I'm not good with people, I'm awkward around them. I mean what do you expect they’re bloody people! Look at people, walking around, drinking cups of tea, getting little bits of sandwich around their mouths as they eat, god they’re disgusting. I say fuck people, people ruin everything. Look at them; look at their eyes and their ears and their hair, growing on their stupid fucking heads, they make me fucking puke. God I wish they were dead! All of you right now, I fucking hate you and I sincerely hope you just fucking well die!"

 

[stoneroses]

Loved the writers interviews I could listen to that sort of thing all day.
Brilliant!
