Charlie Brooker's Weekly Wipe - Series 3 - Episode 4

Charlie Brooker and guests cast their collective eyes over all that the telly, cinema, news and computer games have to offer, in order to wring a little laughter from a hilariously troubled world.

[@kev7933]

This show is cultural history now. Quite cool to watch in 2023

[@wesmatron]

In case you are interested and didn't know, the reason Milliband was challenged to "Repeat his accusation outside the Houses of Parliament" is because inside the HoP he can say what he likes with immunity. Outside he could be charged with Slander unless he could back up his allegations with proof.

charlie brooker makes me cry with laughter and then just cry as I realise how depressing and dystopian everything is.

[@rowdyhill9555]

greenbean15 ,ikr...3 years later, and it's even more depressing and dystopian,all thanks to our shitty politicians

[@riddersjc]

It's fun reminiscing about past (and still current) grievances, I look forward to watching the anti-viral wipe in five years and fondly remember the happier simpler times.

[@viliussmproductions]

That anthem. I don't think I've ever heard anything worse.

[@97channel]

Charlie Brooker's getting his mojo back. I always found that Weekly Wipe felt exhausted, not a patch on the glory days of Screenwipe. "Nicholas Lyndhurst playing a French postman." is very much the brilliance of old.

[@Patrick_Bateman92]

Whoevers been doing the music for the show must love Run the Jewels as much as me

[@BimblorBingus]

no zeb?! YES! keep her out! best episode of the series so far. hasnt been a great third series to be honest. less random spots, more charlie reviewing

[@mptorz]

Zeb is great! It's a perfect parody of a typical vloger.

[@BimblorBingus]

her stuff is just, "hey isnt this what vloggers do?" "isnt this how russell brand sounds?" okay, where's the jokes? awful. theres a reason impressions are considered low forms of comedy.

[@theohilton1276]

[@WishIWasALeopard]

Thank Jupiter! I didn't want to watch this until I was sure she wasn't in it. And you are right, The Zeb bit is very un-funny like the bits with the other guy last series, the guy in his room giving thoughts in a language close to English. I download these for my Canadian husband(been introducing him to Brit comedy over the years) and was commenting how un-Charlie Brooker it is. He is so much funnier and sarcastic and cynical than this. Series 3 is a bit disappointing....but hey.....maybe it is just build up to something. Let me watch this and see if it worth bookmarking for my hubby.We both love Charlie and Philomena (she is hilarious).

It's Aspergers, with a "p". It wouldn't sound so silly if people said it the right way. Sorry for sounding so preachy, but I have it, so I figured I'd say something.

also you don't 'suffer from' asperger's. what you suffer from is well meaning ignoramuses

are you joking? he put it down on the floor as it didn't suit the military image to play with a cat; he didn't kill it

@@Codex7777 Why did laurence. S find it heartbreaking then? don't tell me you think his comment was meant to be a joke; it doesn't even slightly resemble a joke. I initially assumed he thought the cat was killed (hence heartbreaking) but now I realise he probably meant that it was heartbreaking that the soldier had to stop enjoying himself for public image; but I didn't clock it immediately because it's such a melodramatic over-emotional statement...

14:15 I don't think I've ever seen Barbie tell people to get out and vote. People are fucking stupid. Like, regular and "smart" people, I mean. Not just the obviously dumb ones. A dumb person would have not cared about a pink bus, actually. They would have went, "Oh, what a pretty bus. I really should remember to register to vote." 15:57 I'm no MRA, but I love the sheer hypocrisy, sexism, and condescension in this women's words. If her balls were any bigger, she'd be a man. And lastly, "Vladimir Putin and the Ukraine Rebels" might be *the* finest name for a garage band that I've ever seen.
