Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe 5x01

[@douglasmilton2805]

I've been living in Paris for twenty years. Been feeling vaguely nostalgic for Blighty of late. Then I saw these clips from Britannia High. And I'm never never coming home again.

[@PickeringSamuel]

Yeah this place is just daft

[@dubfox1691]

Please. Paris is the arse hole of the western world. If you love it so much, we don't want you back! (lol jk lv u rly)

[@chinny_reckon]

😂

[@NickSBailey]

shame it's not just the UK

[@TomDack13]

Bollocks mate, you never lived in Paris, you probably lived in Stevenage for 20 years

[@kezisthename]

"Wheres the paper" was the clip that made me watch all this guys stuff, never laughed so much to this day

[@Retrostar619]

Literally Belly laugh for me.

[@carrieduff1388]

Charlie is very insightful and hilarious!

[@franktiesteel7868]

Watchin this in Morocco . Been here years mercifully spared all of it!!! But I'm still amused!!!

[@Luke-cj7gz]

Brilliant and very prophetic

2:33 that BBC/half-term jokes hits different post Savile.

[@mattresbert]

I've never seen such offensive credits in all my life, is that Ofcum?

[@Carpetf]

i still sing "where's the paper" song when I've run out

[@RamblesBrambles]

No you dont

[@HYPERMASCULINE]

Tim key too funny

[@SkillSpencer]

Johnny O - do you have copies of these in better quality i can get off you?

[@darklittlepoet]

nope, this is all I got

[@jaygatsby3039]

They're on torrents, some are higher quality but -- I think this one was recorded using iPlayer so it's limited to 480p or whatever it was back then.

[@dubfox1691]

Hoo-eee this episode looks different now huh

[@neilgodfrey2669]

So where was the paper?

[@neilgodfrey2669]

20:10 Should have checked that money first because the first few notes he handed out weren’t printed properly. Silly Charlie.

[@fatherofdragons4880]

Pretty sure he didn't print them, he is only the presenter after all Neil.

[@neilgodfrey2669]

@ no he was in charge of printing. He told me personally in a phone call which you can’t disprove

[@fatherofdragons4880]

@@neilgodfrey2669 fair enough lol

[@Orosian5]

Obviously they couldn't afford real money. Charlie talked about this in the episode. Pay attention!

[@tomford5416]

a show about shit shows ........................... and the harmony is restored

[@bennypatel]

That Paul Ross show can’t be real.

[@adamadams9517]

It wasn't, I don't think.

[@mr.dalerobinson]

So this is where Garth Marenghi came from. Cheap content inspiring art. Nice.

[@AmiUnhinged]

Charlie! I was investigating statues of Buddha in Sri Lanka and I saw a few that looked JUST like you. How does that make you feel?

[@gordondean9189]

That Britannia high footage is unwatchable even in a show taking the piss out of it.

[@neilgodfrey2669]

14:25 this looks so cringey. Every Asian guy watching doesnt give a shit.

[@AmiUnhinged]

You know some people have iconic albums in their youth. Mine was A Different Class by PULP , there's a song called "I Spy" that had this epic grade suspense huh? That was thrilling *and* chilling theatrically . So that's what i did. I remember snooping over Syria after the 'earthquake' and seeing loads of orange groves and full on Homered like "mmm, oranges: Syriaously." *shaking my head* i think i was possessed, but i haven't given up the oranges

[@AmiUnhinged]

9000 yards in the Daily Carnage! Golden run !

[@AmiUnhinged]

The girls at the local high school are still wearing mini skirts like creepy Silent Hill oompah loompas Charlie. It gives me the serious creeps. You know when my mom was ill my dad kidnapped me out of that school huh? He said it had a terrible reputation. I did quite well comprehensive school in Warwickshire, but I guess I had this progressive teaching system and I didn't have to wear a skirt to school. I saw some of the women in the army in the Eastern Bloc wearing miniskirts out on parade . I was like "If I had to wear a miniskirt in the army I'd probably mutiny on principle. Pantsiple.

[@AmiUnhinged]

I really couldn't think less of the Conservative voters of Kidderminster. You know? It makes Russel Brand look less creepy you know? People think that sexual promiscuity is a common class problem, but it takes a type of ego to plan paedophilia all the way through high school: what if someone notices the girls are all underdressed to school? What if they catch a horrible flu and so do their underage babies? What if they're a bloc bunch of IVF clones who never should have been born in the first place? Well, the common can't really afford to complain , so who's to stop them? I'm telling you they're like resident evil Like paté canapés in a buffet, it's some awful plan.

[@chinny_reckon]

Before the phrase 'cancelled' was invented.

[@jamesclement8985]

Why would this be cancelled? It punches up, not down.

[@TheHiddenite]

he's talking about Chris Morris in black face... and the whole prank call business... ect

[@derekspitz9225]

Oh dear. This hasn't aged well.

[@adamwashington4960]

Morning, why do you say that? You referring to the Brand & Ross segment?

[@derekspitz9225]

@@adamwashington4960 No. The championing of freedom of speech. It was a no-brianer in the naughties when this episode was made. Today freedom of speech has become synonymous with 'hate speech'. A crypto-neo-marxist sleight of hand that Orwell saw coming. Cheers!

[@PushPixel]

I agree, it’s aged wonderfully hasn’t it.

[@gitman3486]

Yeah TV comedy has fallen down a fkin well since this was made. It's all very very PC and disgustingly pandering.

[@markdinsdale4869]

Before you think about how much better everything was in yesterday land that only exists in your head please may I suggest the following that are neither PC or pandering from the last few years- + I think you should leave with Tim Robinson + don't hug me I'm scared + This country + This time with Alan partridge + Nathan for you + Rick and Morty + Fargo + Fleabag + the boys. Good stuff is always around you just have to look for it.

[@kieranhardy581]

The past is imaginary?

[@BarryLetts379]

Nathan Barley

[@basicallywellfed3453]

Aged badly...

[@TheHiddenite]

how? oh you mean Chris Morris in black face... yeah

[@leonconnelly5303]

The Tim Key poetry bits are so incredibly unfunny like what's he even going for. He's funny in other stuff

[@666deadman1988]

I always skip them. Painfully awkward and unfunny. Although apparently some people love them? No accounting for taste I guess 🤷

[@666deadman1988]

@nettils5555 I appreciate that, doesn't mean I have to like it

[@LoyalisterMcUlster]

is this the far right pipeline they've been on about?

[@acex222]

wtf are you talking about?

[@LoyalisterMcUlster]

​@@acex222May I also mention I went to Duncairn Church after I returned from ghetto blazing the DARGANROADCONSPIRACY center Greggs (Just west of Buncrana). I ended up regretting my decision of Castle Place junkieing my way through the beautiful (West of) Buncrana Betail center Which Best Buys resulted in the deaths of possibly up to 0 people as it is a very structurally stable building and luckily 22lr simply bounces of human skin causing minor bruising or no bruising at all if the victim happens to be wearing armour made of small rodents or something like John O'Dowds sentient king billy bible (Now with the Paisley I and II (availability questionable)). Anyway I told the father my sin of Shots have been fired at a police patrol in Armagh last night two men have been arrested under suspicion of possession of firearms and he said aye ats alright son let's go to co-op and I'll buy you a bible traditional boost and boost (as Jesus said "up")

[@todddickinson3262]

If this were to go viral, it would literally cause millions of soft, fragile millennial skulls to explode… Can we make it go viral? Please?!?!?!

[@Drag0nfoxx]

Literally the first segment of the episode shows old people getting offended while young people don't care

[@TransmissionEpicts]

Eh?

[@whinygothbaby]

calling millennials soft and fragile is incredibly funny when you consider that gen X and older have been known to pitch a fit over modern fantasy and sci-fi going “”woke”” (aka casting a Black guy as Doctor Who, portraying LGBTQ+ people respectfully) even though Doctor Who in particular has been progressive since 1963. however old you think millennials are, they’re not the oversensitive ones lmao. also Charlie Brooker would absolutely tell you to fuck off

[@wolfeflambe]

How horribly prophetic this episode was. Comedy is dead now because everyone is too scared to get grief.
