Charlie Brooker's Weekly Wipe S02E02

[@Ardent_regret]

That Diane Morgan monologue was one of the darkest and most honest reflections of group anger and the nightmarish psychological anguish felt by vast swathes of the UK’s population.

I'm looking forward to her investigation of how lots of little floors make it easier to move between the big floors.

[@AndyGratitube]

Way to strangle the laughs out of that bit. But I get you: the immigration rant with her and Brian Shitpeas was profound--and funny.

Out here in San Diego. It's crazy how much online hate we have towards homeless, like it's all their fault and all their fault alone. Dont people know, just one round of layoffs, plus another family illness, they could be homeless as well.

Coming back to watch this again after many years, never noticed the Twin Peaks theme being used in the benefits street section

[@DDRWakaLaka]

I wonder if the black and white chevron pattern used in this show is a reference to the Black Lodge?

[@douglasmilton2805]

@Scott Hurst: Plus slow movement from Beethoven’s 7th behind Doug Stanhope.

[@vollsticks]

"Pious newborn Owen Jones" fucking hell lmao.

[@someenglishguy]

19:50 "Hi I'm Philip Sc-gay-field" Aged like a fine wine.

[@Ndlanding]

I won't ask what you do with the corks.

[@nathanjackson9112]

I wonder what Schofield thought if/when he saw this: "Oh shit... they're on to me!"

[@kennyturner583]

I always respected Barry Shitpeas

[@ik1768]

philomena as crowd member is just lol!!

[@scottsmith8486]

These Jake Yapp bits are amazing.

[@bulbkit]

I appreciate the Twin Peaks soundtrack

[@JoePesciBallsack]

I swear there are several points of influence for Black Mirror in this episode alone. The "mother" gadget at 17:46 that keeps tabs on everything in the house i.e. the "cookie" in the White Christmas episode which is human consciousness extracted from a person and trapped inside a gadget to quite literally keep tabs on everything in the persons house. As well as that baby advert at 21:25 almost sounding like the episode Fifteen Million Merits, where everyone is born to live in nothing but boxed rooms filled with adverts, where a girl in particular tries to go on reality TV to sing her way into a more luxurious life, only to...well...you know

Don’t beat up ambulance driver’s was actually a comical top ten what to do when drunk from Club UK porn magazine. Cannot remember the order but one of them was to ‘Get drunk and attack an ambulance crew’.

[@r3q4re80]

For a moment at 5:05 I was sure her nametag said BITCH.

[@brucebennett5338]

hysterical!

[@christiananderson4909]

How have I never heard of this before?

[@Troll_the_Trolls]

Its the best.

[@TheoHiggins]

People love Black Mirror, but to me this is Brooker's best work

[@jackbudgen8858]

Because there's no Internet connection under rocks

This Morning Quality piss take.

19:10 ae that is the outside xbox guy. lmao

[@abegarfield7031]

What did you say about my mum, Brooker? Any more of that sort of talk, young man and you & I are going to fall out.

Is that Laura Palmer's theme? (Answer is yes)

11:15 UK’s rip off version of Venice

[@Gottenhimfella]

I know Doug Stanhope's schtick is primarily irony, which probably goes right over the heads of many Americans, and almost all of the ones he's parodying. But it's alarming how bereft of reason their arguments generally are, even the mildest ones, like the notion that people in the US might be reluctant to offer violence in case the other guy is armed. It only works if hardly anyone is armed, for the obvious reason that if most people who lose their shit are armed, then instead of three mass shootings every two days for the entire US (the current rate) it would be more like that rate in every big city, at a minimum. The irony is that the same people who make the argument actually WANT everyone to be armed. At the merest mention of restricting sale of arms so that people with demonstrated propensity for violent or threatening behaviour, fantasies of mass murder and such are unable to arm themselves, gun-fixated Americans man (and woman) the barricades. The notion that lethal force should be available to all only makes sense in the context of a death cult.

29:00 "America has got a fierce reputation for violence, *doesn't it*?" This Charlie person needs to get back to school. Otherwise he'll be speaking like those foreigners over there who say, "I don't got a gun."

[@darklittlepoet]

You're right. America's renowned for its pacifism. It's record on gun violence is sterling.

[@vollsticks]

There seems to be an American agreeing with him. Weird. Go on, call Doug Stanhope a bleeding heart liberal. I dare you!

[@Ndlanding]

@@vollsticks And there was me talking about the (bad) grammar. Well, I'll just go and jump into that handy lake and drown. Myself.
